The girl watched and heard and
dug her nails into her palms. Final

one of you. Let him go and take
me-"
The men looked at her for mo-
ment. and then the corporal moved
to the door with his prisoner and
gave him kick and watched him
running for the cover of>the pines.
Then he turned to the defiant girl
and raised his cap and said
I'VE don't make war upon women.
They have to suffer in war, but wa
pity them. Boys, empty your haver-
sacks on the table. Goodnight"
And when they had departed,
Tilda sank down on the floor and
covered her face with her hands and
wept like a child.
Granny came over and looked at
the coffee and bacon and hardtack
and onions and potatoes, and then
whispered:
"Tilda, what 1t is?"
Nothing, granny" sobbed Tilda.

And lying in the pines far up the
mountain side Scott shook and shiv-

that you have TO hide like a fox?
Hain't they robbin' and stealin' and
skeerin' the women folks nigh te
death? Hain't II gwine to be the
end of us II sunthin' hain't done?"
The young man was uneasy, and
he trembled within him. II he was
ever possessed of physical courage
the hiding out and starting at every
alarm like a wild beast had robbed
him of It.
He knew that there was a picket
at the spring day and night. He had
orept to within a few yards of the
men In blue and had a good look at
them. Two or three times he had
even aimed his gun, but had not
pressed the trigger.
He reasoned better than the girl.
1t was no good to kill a man or two.
Even IL he could kill thousand the
war would go on just the same.
"You want to go now," whispered
Tilda. "Pll go part way with you. If
one smash don't do, then you must
smash twice. Got to do 1t, Scott
got to do It,"
''But he'un may kill me. He'un
will dare to shoot his gun, while

"Yog must jump out quick and

Scotty moved his feet and wrig-
gled around unessily. He also look
ed at the girl In puzzled way. He
had never known her to display such
savageness. He felt that he was ex-
pected to say something, but it was
a long minute before he observed

1T was a little old pole cabin on
the side OF a Virginia mountain.
ID stood in a clearing OF half an
acre Of sterile land, and on
three sides OF X were laurel and pine
70 days OF smiling peace Il was a
loaely, poyeriy-stricken place; now
thai the war was upon the land, It's
l0aeliness was aceentunated.
The bummers and the guerillas
passed Il by on the rocky road now
sad then. but they did not call out
or knock al the door. OF what use?
There would be nothing TO steal, and
ths food would be OF the scantiest.
The inmates OF the cabin consisted
of mother and daughter, the former

on the open side, 20 rods from the
dDor of the cabin, there was a
spring, and here a federal p.sket was
posted day and night. The growth of
laurel almost reached the spring, and
as the girl looked and looked smile
tilekered over her face.
The picket had been there for a
week During the day, when she
went to the spring for water, he had
soine times spoken to her. Once be

from his haversack saying that he

wished for the death OF thousands
more men in the hateful blue.
The post must be guarded at night
as well. Perhaps there were two
men at night. Il would be easy for
one to creep along down amidst the
laurels and spring sOut and do the
man TO death. He might even dis
pose OF two II he struck quickly. The
picket had been there for a week,
but she had never thought of the
thicket until today.
OF what good TO kill one or two
men out OF an army OF millions out
OF that great horde OF marching,
fighting men whose lines stretched
for miles and hundreds OF miles. The
girl might have thought Of this, but
she didn't. She shut her teeth hard
and went about the house with a
strange look on her face.
What is 1t, Tildaf" asked the old
mother.
Nothing. I'll tell Scott IL he
comes tonight"
Down at the spring the man in
blue was heard whistling or singing
at intervals, and at intervals the
boom Of a distant cannon reached the
women's ears. The day wore away
and night came down Then Tilda
went to the spring for pail Of water
and to use her eyes,
The day picket had been changed
at noon and now she saw that 1t had
been changed again. The man rose
up from the roots Of pine and spoke
to her but she dipped in her pal
and made no answer. She had feared
there would be two on post.

M0L0CH OF MODERN

Willys-Overland Factories in
Toledo Triumph of Modern
Achievement.

At the WHY'S Overland factories In
Toledo there is a giant that the men
have nicknamed "Moloch," because
his deeds rival those of the ancient
Ammonite god of that name.
There is. however a difference in
the sacrifices exacted by these two
giants.
The Moloch of Biblical times. crue.
and ruthless, demanded human saci .
flee and gave nothing in return.
This modern Moloch---a triumph "a
modern achievement, who sits on a
pedestal of concrete, fifteen. feet deep
is an Industrious giant helping In
the manufacture OF motor cars
He is a monstrous toggle press.
standing ~ feet high, who takes long
pieces of cold steel in his jaw and,
by crunching of his mastodonic jaws,
fashions the steel into the side rails
that are used for WHY'S overland
automobiles. Such a dlligent chap is
this Moloch that his tireless jaws
with their pressure of 1000, 600
pounds. can form side rails at the
rate of one every Is seconds with tho
assistance of only three feeders
Thanks to this ponderous but highly
efficient mechanism the operators lot
has become easier. At the same time
he is enabled to turn out more and
much better work.
a counterpart of this press only
with a nav of 100000 pounds
pressure for the forming of the side
rails for the larger WHY'S Overland
models-is now being erected.

Liberty Dealers Adopt Newell Method
of Emphasizing Belief In
Country

As the means of emphasizing their
belief in the security and imminent
expansion of the United States In II
business way, the Leach Motor Car
company, Liberty distributors in Los
Angeles, Cal, recently opened a sales
room in the heart Of the business dis-
trict of that city, where rentals are
highest. in addition to their large
sales and service station on automo-
bile row. The event was marked by
the issuing of a newspaper by the
Leach Motor Car company telling of
the campany's expansion, its reason
for spreading out, and containing n
strong rebuke to business slackers."
Fifty thousand copies of the paper
were circulated thruout the business
district OF Los Angeles and other te.
ritory covered by the company.
Typical Extra published.
The Leach Motor Car Company has
been in the automobile business in
Los Angeles only six months and less
than three months ago they took on
the Liberty line. The new salesroom
is located at Fourth and Broadway,
recently vacated by the Security Ma
tional bank, which gives an idea OF
the prominence of the company's new
additional salesroom.
The newspaper issued was a typical
extra" priIted on pink paper full
newspaper size. and named the Leach

ticle-which occupied the entire front
page -- was Don't he "a Business

nal.
Leach Writes Editorial.
NJ A. Leach, general manager or
the company, personally wrote the
front page appeal, which contained
patriotic statements from start to I'm
ish. and abounded In appeals to nusi-
ness men TO wake up to the business
opportunity
THE men who get the business are
the men who keep out OF the Stacker
ciass-the men who show their faith
in their busness--ln their city-in
their state-in their nation" Is one
of the appeals.
This WAS the first newspaper OF the
kind ever published In the country;
the first to be issued by an automo-
bile dealer and circulated in the mani
ner which the Leach Motor Car COM
pany handled it; leading business men
automobile dealers bankers and mer-
chants agreed that the issuing or this
novel style newspaper did much TO
intensity confidence in Los Angeles
and to clearlfy a situation and n bust

John ID. Williams company, No. 2
Rector street, New York, n. Y. This
company will act as one of the for

The Williams company is one or
the largest exporters and importers Of
automobiles in the United States. The
Maxwell cars for foreign countries IA
most instances will go thru the Will
'ams company. The six thousand
ars called for in the new contract
Efll all go thru the hands of the new
foreign representatives
They expect n tremendous increase
in the business done by the United
States with South American countries.
More American motor cars are being

The Williams company Is widely
known in the export field and the
Maxwell line will add greatly to the
value of their business. They have
