the Nye county Red Cross associa-
tion, seized w. W. Booth, editor OF
the Bonanza and, with the assistance
of others, boosted him to the top OF
platform baggage truck where Mr..
Booth referred to the significance
of the occasion as one that would be
cherished by every patriotic citizen
of Tonopah and then introduced the
governor on whom he called for
speech.
Governor Boyle responded by TAX
ing a place on the truck where he
could be seen by every one within
hearing distance. To-day we witness
an experiment in government" Mr.
Boyle said, that will be remembered
as one of the greatest occasions In
the history Of the American repub-
lie. The experiment is unique in the
history of the country, for, while 1t Is
conscription, 1t is not carried out by
compulsion or military force and we
see today the first contingent Of the
young men of Nye county who are
volunteering to help their country
in a supreme crisis. We are here
to wish them God speed. to cheer
them on their way and to assure
them that wherever they go the
heartfelt interests of our people will
be with them. AS the humble repre-
sentative of the people of Nevada |
wish you all safe journey with the
conviction that every man will do
his duty to his country"
Hearty applause greeted this talk
and then somebody called for the re-
cruits to get up on the truck where
they could be seen. The boys
quickly complied with the suggestion
and then the crowd closed in and a
regular leyee began with everybody
pressing forward to seize the hands
of the six men and cheer them on
their way.
Greetings for Goldfield
At this stage the train from Gold
field backed in and, after the con-
fusion subsided the three recuits
from the southern camp were brought
out on the truck and made the guests
of Tonopah. The Goldfield boys
wore badges, which had been over

THE END.
SCIENCE Of WAR is CHANGED
Developments of the Past Three Years
Have Rendered Obsolete Most of
the Old Methods.

During the last three years the SCI
changes, rendering obsolete. much
which past effort and study had eS-
tablished as standard. H. H. Wind
sor writes in Popular Mechanics. Cav
airy has largely given way to infantry,
which now moves farther and faster
in motor cars than was ever possible
with animals. Machine guns have
changed with conditions of infantry
attacks. Heavy artilieTy at long range
now accomplishes much of what for
merly wds assigned to an infantry
charge. The difficult and always peril
GUS work of the field spy and scout
has been left behind by the airman,
who goes forth openly and noisily,
sweeping over enemy lines at a mile
a minute. On sea, it Is no longer the
ship which can shoot the farthest, or
the fast cruiser which cannot be over
taken, that sinks the most enemy ships,
but the submarine whose underwater
missiles are often unseen and never
heard.
Trench warfare as practiced today
is an evolution of the old earthwOrk
idea, but so changed and expanded as
to have little resemblance. 1t was a
German invention, worked out to in
clude streets and alleys with main
arteries of communication from the
rear, and complete underground habi-
tations capable of housing men by
thousands. These underground rooms
are not only one but often two stories
deep, the lower level being reached by
concealed trapdoOrs. In the Japanese
Russian war the japanese made use Of
zigzag open trenches as means Of
approach to fortress, but to nothing
like the extent employed now.

left of the John l loved. Let me look
again! !"
She swung around.
"You speak of love-" she went on
suddenly. ''Do you know what it is?
Do you know that love reaches to the
heavens, and can also touch the Meth
ermost depths of hell? If l throw
myself on your knees before you now,
If link my fingers around your neck,
If I whisper to you that in the days
that were past before you came had

second of my life was yours that my
heart beat with yours by day and by
night, that l had no other thought, no
other dream, than to stay by your side,
to see you happy, to give all there was

Never line in his face softened. He
looked at her moment as he had
looked at the woman II Piccadilly, into
whose haad he had dropped gold.
Are you going to tell me that 1t is
the truth?" he asked hOarsely.
Think for a single moment Of that
feeling which you call love, John !"
she pleaded. "Listen! ] love you. 1t

years. 1t lives in my heart, greater
thing than my ambition, greater
thing than my success, a greater thing
than life itself. love you, John Can't

Not line in his face softened. His
reeth had come together. He was like
a man upon the rack.

demanded.
She looked ut him without any reply.
The seconds seemed drawn out to an
interminable period. He heard the

back and touched the bell.

CHAPTER xxi.

Before the wide-fung window of her
attic bedchamber, Sophy Gerard was
crouching with her face turned west
ward. She had abandoned all effort
to sleep. The one thought that was
beating in hnr brain was too insistent,
too clamOrOus. Somewhere beyond
that tangled mass of chimneys and
telegraph poles, somewhere on the 9TH
er side of the gray haze which hung
about the myriad roofs, John and
Louise were working out their destiny,
speaking at last the naked truth to
each other.
She started suddenly back into the
room. There was knocking at the
door, something quite different from
her landlady's summons. She wrapped
her dresSing-gown around her, pulled
the curtains around the little bed on
which she had striven to rest, and
moved toward the door. She turned
the handle softly.
"Whc is that" she asked.
John almost pushed his way past
her. She closed the door with nerve
less fingers. Her eyes sought his face
her lips were parted. She clung to the
back of the chair.
"You have seen Louise?" she ex
claimed breathlessly.
II have seen Louise" he answered
SIT is all overr
She looked little helplessly arounC
her. Then she selected the one chat

Bernard Hughes, who is seventy
years old and has travelled the country

Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Shortly afterward tho surgeon re-

"How in the world did that get in

it had the earthquake" replied Hughes.
''There was an explosion where lived

leg. shouldn't be surprised If that
piece Of iron was part of the stove,

Mechanical Horse in War.

Recently a mechanical horse" was
driven through the streets of Chicago
to attract fighting men" to the army
stations. The powerful traC-
tor, to which field gun and caisson
were hitched, was controlled entirely
by two reins in the hands of driver.
1t was taken through the congested
"loOp district" thorOughfares with per-
feet ease. The plan was employed
daily for fortnight and apparently
netted good results, for during the pc
riod large numbers of volunteers flied
into the recruiting places. Although
still little known, the machine is not
u new type. Primarily it is intended
for agricultural purposes. 1t is suffi-
ciently striking in appearance and op-

of the street crowds, and in this capac-
ity it performed valuable work for the
army.-POpular Mechanics Magazine.

After passing his general physical

She leaned a little forward on the
couch. She looked into his face search
ingly, anxiously as II looking for
something she could not find. His lips
were set in hard, cold lines. The
likeness to Stephen had never been
more apparent.

down the blind. No more Of the win

no more living in the clouds 1t was
time, indeed, that he lived as other
men. He lifted one Of the glasses to
his lips and drained its contents.
Then the bell rang. He moved for
ward to answer its summons with
beating heart. AS he opened 1t, he re-
ceived a shock. A messenger boy stood
outside He took the note which the
boy handed him and tore 1t open under
a lamp. There were only few lines:
John, my heart is breaking, but know
you do not mean what you said. know
it was only moment of madness with
you. I know you will love Louise all your
life, and will bless me all your life be-

next week.
Good-by! l give you no advice. Some
day think that life will right itself with
you. SOPHY.
The letter dropped upon the table.
John stood for a moment dazed. Sud-
denly he began to laugh. Then he re-
membered the messenger boy, gave
him half a crown, and closed the door.
He came back into the room and took
his place at the table. He looked at
the empty chair by his side, looked at
the full glass on the sidebOard. 1t
seemed to him that he was past all
sensations. The waiter came in 81
lently.
"You can serve the dinner" John or
dered, shaking out his napkin. open

"YOu will be alone, sir?" the man
inquired.

"In that little church, John, and
quickly-sO quickly, please" she whis-
pered.
Jennings hastened in to where Ste
phen was sitting alone.
"Mr. Stephen" he cried, whats
coming to us? There's that French
hussy outside, and a motorcar in the
drive, and the chauffeur's asking
where he's to sleep. The woman wants
to know whether she can have the

piled. Pick up those pieces of glass
there, lay the cloth, and get some sup

Through the open doorway they
heard Aline's voice in the hall.
"Meester Jennings, will you please
come and help me with the luggage?"
"Get along with you!" Stephen or
dered. "You'd better hurry up with
the supper, too. The boy Tom can see
to the luggage"
The old man recovered himself
slowly.

'em into the house2" he gasped. t"What
about that toast?"
Stephen refilled two glasses.
"We'd better alter 1t little" he
declared. Here's confusion to most
women, but luck to John and his
wife!"
"Nlr. John and his wife!" Jennings
repeated, as he set his glass down
empty. "I'll just see that them sheets
is aired upstairs, sir, or that hussy
will be making eyes at Toni"
He departed and Stephen was left
alone. He sat and listened to the
sound of luggage being taken upstairs,
to Aline's little torrent of directions,
| goOd-humOred but prOfuse, to the
sound of preparations in the kitchen.
In the room the tall clock licked sol
emnly; fragment of the log every

Presently he rose to his feet. He
