A baby between the lines Of
trenches!
The troops had advanced by night
under the searchlight; they had taken
up a new position within hundred
yards of the enemy, on what had been
a farm. And at dawn they could all
distinctly see the child sitting up in the
hole made by ten-inch shell, one
hand extended toward the ruined
buildings.
1t was a raw and foggy morning, and
presently, while the men still gaped,
the mist came down and hid the child
from sight. To show head above the
sandbags ordinarily meant instant
death. But now q dozen men leaped
from the trenches and ran forward.
There came a fusillade from the
enemy, and half of them fell dead in
their tracks. The rest staggered on
ward, wounded, to collapse one by one
Only one man reached the edge of the
crater before he collapsed, shot through
the heart.
The fog lifted. By a miracle the
child had escaped injury. She was
still seated there in the shell-hole
From the opposing trenches a dozer
men came crawling forward through

Checks Aoalnst Future.

We repeat-when you're tired, quit.
That doesn't mean, necessarily, quit
work. 1t means quit spending 80 much
time In other ways that you don't get
enough sleep to furnish you with the
proper working energy. You can, of
course, keep going on black coffee and
your novels. But. whenever you are
spending more energy than you are
getting. you're issuing checks against
the banks balance Of future health.
And as these checks are cashed the
balance dwindles. One might" to-
night must be repaired later In life
with compound interest. - Fresno

known miles on either side. A second
volley, and not a man remained to res
cue or to fly.
The child was still uninjured. The
outlets had passed over her head, and
none had struck her. Both sides, each
distrusting the other, waited till night
fall. All through the afternoon, at in
tervals, the baby could be seen, when
the fog lifted. Each side formed a vol
unteer party of half a dozen to make
the rescue after night had fallen.
The two parties started simultane-
ously. crawling through their barbed
wire and working their way across No
Mans Land. They met in the middle.
There was no chance for explanations.
The rifles spoke, the bayonets did their
quick-work. Star shells, shot up. re-
vealed the twelve In deadly grapple.
Buoyed up by the sense Of their mis-
sion, neither side would yield. They
fought each other to death there, In
that desolate waste of water-flled
craters. Not one man returned.
On either side the soldiers waited In
increasing apprehension until morning
showed the heap Of bodies around the
crater. Within 1t the child could still
be seen. She had fallen forward on
her face. She might be dead, but there
was still the wild hope that she. was
living. Perhaps she slept. And the
soldiers, many of whom were married
men. were filled with anguish and the
resolution to save her, or to bring back
the little body for burial.
1t was evident that another day could
not be allowed to pass without the res
cue. Projects were mooted. 1t was
suggested that the artillery should bt
brought to bear upon the enemy
trenches, with view to a general ad
vance into them. But this was deemed
too dangerous an undertaking. 1t wa.
not humanity possible that genera
advance could be made without q stray
bullet striking the little form within
the crater. 1t was an freshman wit:
solved the problem. :.

Untruth Traced to EootIsm.

Here is the most pathetic circum-
stance connected with lying. 1t is es-
sentially self-deception. And yet 1t
comes from the desire for self-protec-
ton and for selfish advantage. In
nearly every instance 1t can be traced
to egotism and to the weaknesses that
egotism is bound to engender.

Good Family Dishes

Corn meal If well cooked, makes
one of the most nutritious and econo-
mical of breakfast dishes and If served
with good baked apple it is II break
fast sufficiently nutritious for grow
ing child. When cooking corn meal
mix 1t with cold water to the consis-
tency of pouring, then pour into II ket-
tie of boiling sailed water, enough to
cook at least three hours ut the sim
mering point. See that the meal rap
idly boils, then set back to simmer.
When cooked with plenty of water
each grain of corn meal will stand out
by itself just as does rice when well
cooked. A tireless cooker is an ideal
place for this kind of cooking, yet the
evaporation of water is limited so that
must be lessened.
