 the battle ragged most fiercely in the region of La Ville- Aux Bois. The wood east of the village. 2,0O0 yards long by 500 in depth, was very strongly held by the enemy, no less than 1SO machine guns being crowded into it.. All these were captured, together with 1,700 men by clever msncuver which cut off the wood from the rest of the line.
 The army on the right from Prunay to Auberive, by skillful maneuvering cleaned the Germans out of most of the heights in front of the village of Moronvllliers. On one of the crests several heavy guns were captured.
 On the whole, when the wretched weather and the difficulties of the ter rain are considered. the days work is considered most satisfactory and it is believed that it Daves the way for more rapid progress in the near fu- ture.

Rats and Fires.

At n time when everyone Is COM
planning Of the high cost of living 1t
might be We'll to see If we cannot elm
mate two great sources of waste--fires
and rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are SO Some years ago a study Of the
rat problem in Philadelphia arrived ut
the conclusion that the rodents of that
city ate more than a million dollars
worth of food each year. AT that rate.
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than 500, 100000 per year
to the whole country. This is q pref
ty high price to pay for the compan-
ionship of impish pests which, besides
their other bad habits. undermine
floors and carry the most dreaded Of
all diseases, bnbonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats In l915-the last year for which
figures are ut hand-the American
people paid out in premiums for fire
insurance $419,361 ,348. OF this vast
sum at least three-fourths could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing in England, France
or Germany and wen in our time and
nation S3OO,OOO,OOO per year is Il saw
ing worth noting, and n which
would have a %perceptible effect On the
cost Of living.

troopers with 10Y as soen us II was
repeated around the camp.
What had become OF the leader OF
the insurrectos? was a question which
puzzled Lopez, who had not seen him
since he rode out Of Discovery. The
majordomo had taken refuge In an
adobe shack not far from the town,
and there, with his men. was waiting
for the early hours OF dawn. Then,
when ell was quiet, he intended to
make a break Gro the border to
find the chief of the i~nsurrectos. He
had stationed plckets for Z considera-
BILE distance along the road to warn
him Of any approaching troops, for he
knew that when Washington learned
Of the happenings Of the night before
the government would take some dras-
tic action. All day and during the
evening he had kept messengers close
to the camp of Colonel Dalton, watch
ing every movement and waiting for
the signal that would inform him the
troops were preparing to o the bor-
der.
Late that night, az Lopez paced
back and forth impatiently, he heard
the beating Of horses hoofs outside,
which came nearer and nearer, until
they came to a halt at his door. He
pulled his gun as a mean Of precau-
ton and waited to learn tho identity
Of the rider. The door was thrown
open and Lopez dropped his hand as
he recognized Of his messengers.
"A fresh horse" said the man ex-
citedly, then see that this word gets
to my compatriots: The gringos are
coming. Be prepared to strike for a
United Mexico!'"
Although the Major had urged Man
uel to join the rangers when they left,
the latter refused. All he was think
ing Of was Liberty. He had won a
tremendous victory. It was more sat
isfying to him than IL he had killed
Rutledge that day in the canyon. She
was now his wife and nobody could
take her from him.
These were some Of the thoughts
that ran through the mind Of Manuel
as he sat In his room, some hours
after the ceremony. Then he sudden
" recalled that he had not seen his
bride since the wedding.
Accordingly he made his way

arm ABOUT her III pressed his lips to
her forehead.
At that moment PanchO, who had
left the room when Liberty entered,
returned, and smiled with contentment
as he glanced at them both. He knew
he had won, and as Liberty turned
from the Major and started to leave
her prospective father-in-law started
toward her with outstretched hands.

you see," continued Pancho, as he
rubbed his hands and grinned at his
partner. II knew 1t would come out
all right. Major. This has been a good
days work."
The Major was lighting q cigar.
When he had finished he walked up to
Pancho and, glazing into the cunning
eyes Of the Mexican, said:
II don't know whether she loves him
or not, but let me tell you something.
II that scamp doesn't treat her right
he'll have to answer to me, personally
do you hear? To mel"
Bent upon finding II there wa any
thing wrong with his ward. the Major
hurriedly left the room and went at
once to Liberty's bedroom. He paused
q moment outside and listened. Some
body was sobbing within. Without
waiting to knock, he opened the door
and stepped inside.
1t was Liberty. AS soon as he en-
tered she raised herself and brushed
the tears from her eyes.
"What makes you SO sad, my little
pet?" inquired the Major, as he went
over to her.
"Tm not crying because I'm sad"
she replied, brokenly. tits because
I'm SO happy"
It was anything but a merry we'd
ding party that later in the evening
made its way to st. Stephens chapel,
not far from the Horton estate. There
was only Liberty. Manuel, Major Win
ston and Pancho Leon, and they
walked In silence.
When they reached the chapel the
padre was lighting the candles on the
altar. To Liberty he seemed almost
like an executioner who stood ready
to take her life.
The Major noticed her nervousness

still Of the same mind7" he asked her.
She nodded her head.
Then the padre opened his book and
requested Liberty and Manuel to kneel
before the shrine.
Therese, who had heard Of the in
