CHAPTER XIII.

It was room of silence, save for
the Kissing of the green logs that
burned on the open hearth, and for
the slow movements Of Jennings as he
cleared the table. Straight and grim
in his chair, with the newspaper by
his side, Stephen Strangewey sat
smoking stolidly. Opposite to him. al
most as grim, equally silent, sat John.
"Things were quiet at Market Ket-
ton today, then, John?" Stephen asked
at last.
"There was nothing doing" was the
brief reply.
That, for the space Of a quarter Of
an hour or so, was the sole attempt at
conversation between the two broth
ers. Then Jennings appeared with a
decanter Of wine and two glasses,
which he reverently filled. Stephen
held his up to the light and looked Mt
it critically. Johns remained by his
side, unnOticed.
"A glass for yourself, Jennings"
Stephen ordered.
Il thank We kindly. sir" the old
man replied.
He fetched q glass from the side
board, filed it, and held it respectfully
before him.
"It's the old toast. Stephen said
gIumly. "You know itw
"Aye, Master Stephen" the servant
assented. "We've drunk it together

BIG GUNS.

One of the best signs the Ameri-
can war department has fully realized
its tremendous job is the announce
ment that literally billions of dollars
are to be spent upon artillery of all
calibers.
Next to ships and aeroplanes, comes
big guns. : 1t is the cannon and NOR
tars that pound the enemy trenches
to pieces, making infantry charges
possible. 1t is the superiority of
heavy artillery that counts when guns
face guns. The best story of the war,
Illustrating this point, is told of a
German officer in the Prussian guards,
who said:
I've are beaten mine frient Ger
man guns go bang-bang-bang-bang
slowly here, there, sometimes. Eng
lish guns, ach Cot! go bangbangbang
bangbangbangbang everywhere for
ever
When our armies get into action on
the western front we don't want our
guns to go bang and then once more
bang here, there, occasionally. We
want them to pour a perfect torrent
of shot and shell into the enemy ranks
right straight along the line without
pause, hour after hour.
That's the way battles are won and
it is the only argument the German
of today thoroughly understands and

HELP THE BOYS.

An appeal has gone out for assist
ance in quartering the members OF
Company until adequate provision is
made by the state or federal govern
ment. For some time, l19 boys who
came here to serve the nation have
been without comfortable beds The
government provides rs cents a day
for grub, but until the proper equip
ment arrives, there is no place for the
boys to sleep.
Bismarck must get busy and see
that the "Sammies' are made comfort
able until mustered into federal sery-
ice and proper quarters provided. ! .
Facilities at the armory are not ade-
uuate to care for the men properly
Bedding is needed badly. AS soon as
the federal government decides upon
the date of mobilization and forwards
the necessary supplies, Fort Lincoln
can take care of both regiments.
It seems unfortunate now that the
Second regiment was not modified
at Fort Lincoln weeks ago.
There is something wrong with a
military system that permits boys to
suffer inconvenience while waiting
for the formality of being mustered
into service
If neither state nor federal red tape
can meet this emergency, it is up to
the city of Bismarck.

cERMANY'S PROGRAM.

Germany's propaganda in the United
States has been revived with a new
object.
Having failed in her intrigues to
prevent the United States from enter
ing the war, Germany hopes to create
dissension in the peace council, soon
er or later to meet.
Realizing that her plans for world
domination and the annexation of ad-
joining territory are now imposs ible
of fullfilment, Germany's ruling classes
are trying to save what they can out
of the wreck.
Above ALL they want to restore the
business and shipping advantages
which Germany possessed before the
war, which were fast giving her indus
trial supremacy
Through a combination of ruthless
diplomacy and the neglect of other
nations, Germany before the war en-
joyed free entry into all the ports
of the world on equal terms with
every other nation, WHILE SHE DE-
MED EQUAL INDUSTRIAL RIGHTS
IN HER OWN COUNTRY AND HER
COLONIES.
Over Russia she exercised an indus
trial mastery through shrewd com
mefcial treaties, which made Russia
a business province of Germany Rus
STA dared not abrogate these old
treaties. Nearly all the import trade
of Russia was handled through Ger
man firms and much of it through
German ports.
In France, Germany enjoyed the
most favored privileges wrung from
France in the war of 1870. German
business men were gobbling up French
trade and manufacturers, BUT

"Gallant' Germans
Taunt Divine Sarah"

Depicting the spirit that has
come to dominate the German
mind is a comment on Sarah
Bernhard found in the Lokalan-
zeiger:
"The Great Sarah as becomes
a daughter of the nation whose
sentiments partake more of the
simian nature than possibly other
peoples, had no sooner recovered
her health in New York than she
belched forth her hatred of the
unspeakable Boches in a manner
that was intended for stage con-
sumption.
"Sarah s serpent-like illusions
will, we fancy, no more affect The
attitude of the French govern
ment, which is about to leave the
further conduct of the war to its
English and Yankee taskmasters,
than it will cause the Germans to
tremble in their beds"

return of Mrs. Woessner, who went to
her native home at Wurtemberg to
see her dying son about the first of

of the war. He received a telegram
from New York the latter part of last
week advising him of her safe ar.

Qualifications of the German

IN Germany as they were some

for the heir to the throne arrived.
As his gaze passed over us, his
clear Hohenzollern eyes showed
the same fire and seriousness as
on that day in Berlin. Just as
he walked into the middle of the
square, which we formed, the sun
burst through the clouds, and as
the heir of the German crown
stood their slim and upright in
the brilliant light, his likeness to
the pictures of Frederick the
Great was once more remarkably
striking 49,. For me the
picture of. this Hohenzollern
Prince, now ripened into serious
man, our future kaiser, is unfor-
getable. 1t stirs in me the men,

"Mr. Stephen" he cried, "what's

repeated, as he set his glass down

sound of preparations in the kitchen.

Wicked to Steal Wine
Unless You're Prince

The moral of this story from
the Berlin Post seems to be that
it is dccidedly wicked to rob a
wine cellar unless you are pril &c
or perhaps a crown prince:
CLANS Riedmayer, a 17-year-old
locksmith's apprentice, was sen
fenced to six months impriscn-
ment at Berlin for breaking irto
a princely wine cellar.
Z &"Through his acquaintance
with a valet employed at the pal
ace, he gained access to Prince
Frederick Henry's cellar in the
Willie mstrassc and plundered it
of 2lS bottles of wines and liquor.
Though he possessed himself OF
the bottles at random, the lad was
fortunate in his choice, for among
his spoils were Is bottles of
Mumm champagne, which were
purchased at $3.50 a bottle; a
bottle of ,Chartreuse worth $3.50,
and several bottles Of very old
French brandy. This booty the
thief in part sold for low prices
to various restaurant keepers and
in part enjoyed in company with
his sweetheart

Food Swindlers Continue
Operations in Berlin

That food swindlers, active IS
months ago, continue operations
in Berlin is shown by frequent
items such as this from the Berlin
Post:
"a market woman, with an i'm
mense stock Of eggs, offered them
for sale at 6 cents each at the
weekly market in Hindenburg.
Very soon the stall was beseiged
by great number of women.
"Before the close Of the market
however, some of the purchasers
came to the dealer and demanded
the return Of their money, as the
eggs were rotten. The dealer de-
clined to refund, and she was
bombarded with the eggs by her
enraged customers.
"The egg dealer took to flight,
but was pursued by the shouting
multitude as far as the Hungarian
Hotel, knocked down, kicked, and
practically buried beneath evil
smelling waves of eggs.
"The battle was eventually
forcibly terminated by three
armed policemen, who conveyed
the unhappy egg seller, with her
arm broken tO tho ;n{;rmorv -

Rumblings Over Food
Shortage Grow in Volume

Further light on the precarious
condition of the food supply is
given by the more than usually
outspoken Rheinische Zeitung:
"The evaporation Of the peo-
pie of Cologne is rapidly reaching
boiling point. Their anger, ac-
cumulated in the course of the last
two years, threatens to break out
into open revolt owing to the NAL
organization Of the food supply.

gathering the new potatoes in the
fields are offering determined
resistance to the officials who. in

money to handle the coal business
and when the profits after deduct
ing losses are so small The fact
that so many people have bought
coal in one season and waited fol-
another to pay for it accounts fol
the shortage in Abbeville now to a
very great extent. Dealers are
unwilling to lay in great supplies OF
coal in the summer months and sell
it to people on thirty days time
when they usually take from two to
twelve months to pay the bills. II
it had not been for this fact a
great deal of coal might have been
bought last summer and stored. We
would not mention this now except
to persuade people to do better in
the future. Be prepared to "pay
as you enter" if you want to keep
the coal supply going.

"THE BIRTH OF A NATION" )"

D. w. Griffith's magnificent spec
tacle, "The Birth of a Nation" will
commence limited two day en-
gagement at the Opera House, Fri
day Dec. 18th, with daily matinees.
Everywhere that this sensational
successful attraction has played the
matinees have We'd with the even
ing performances in attendance. The
arrangement whereby all seats are
reserved and sold in advance is a
happy one inasmuch as persons who
would otherwise find it impossible
or difficult to buy in time to see the
opening scenes because of the
crowds at the box office for an hour
or two before each performance,
are thereby enabled to secure re-
servations far ahead.
The Battle Of Gettysburg, the as
sassination of President Lincoln and
the awe-inspiring rides of the Ku
Klux Klan are but few of the
many tremendous incidents brought
upon the screen and the skill of the
master hand that intermingled the
tragic elements of romance and
comedy is sure to command the
highest respect and admiration.
Incidental to the showing of the
picture is a musical score which is
marvel of synchronization, for
each melody is illustrative of the
shifting scene and the whole field
of musical composition has been
searched with the soul of a true
artist. This score, played as a SYM
phony orchestra of thirty accentu-
ates the dramatic effect so skillfully
contrived by producer Griffith.
Then, too, the play has been
splendidly cast with such eminent
artists as Henry B. Walthall, Mae
Marsh, Lillian Gish, Miriam Cooper,
Mary Alden, to mention only few,
in the leading roles. AS a matter
of fact there is not a person in the
production who is not true to char
acter, and as there were required
$4,000 persons to give verify to
this historic and romantic play, the
task which Griffith set himself and
which he so successfully completed
seems the more astounding.
Pictorial spectacles like "The
Birth of a Nation" are inspirational
and truly educational, All over the
country many large classes from
the public schools have attended in
a body.

SOUND ADVICE.

Mr.. J. T. Robertson, Secretary OF
The Mississippi Inspection and Ad'
visory Rating Company, with Of
fees at Vicksburg, Mississippi, one
of the Abbeville boys who has gone
out and made good in the world, has
written the following letter to the
Mayor and Council of his city,
which is so full of good common
sense and wise counsel that we re-
produce it here, hoping that it may
lend a word of suggestion to the
authorities that be in our own Sec
ton:
"The supreme necessity confront
ing this country at the present
time, the one duty which falls alike
upon all of US, is that of winning
the war with Germany. Daily we
are being impressed with the virtue,
and not only the virtue but the i'm
perative demand, for the conserva-
ton of the resources of the coun-
try. "Save and Win" is the slogan.
To win, then, we must save; save
everything that we have been ac-
customed to spend so lavishly; save
coal, save food, save cotton, save
grain, save everything that may
contribute, directly or indirectly,
to the support of the armies and
navies of our allies and to our own
boys who are now cover There"
"It has been the custom, particu-
larly in the South, to make the
Christmas Holidays a gala occasion
one to be celebrated by the explo-
sion of fireworks, the firing of can
non and the expenditure of much
powder in various ways. Not only
does This diminish to a certain ex-
tent the supplies that we are vitally
in need of but to a much greater
demand is the fire hazard of the
whole country increased. The in
surance companies can pay for but
they can never replace the mater
ials and supplies thus destroyed.
"Many of our cities have already
passed stringent laws regarding the
use of fireworks. Is it not there
fore our patriotic duty to call the
attention of such cities as have not
these laws to the obligation that
now rests on them to conserve our
resources? See that the needed
laws are passed and that when
they are passed that they are rigid
ly enforced. By doing so, each
of us can feel that he is "doing his
bit" and helping to "Save and
VIM"
