village where Meriem and 8aynes were
busy with the trappings of their
mounts.
Now the girl flung herself into the
saddle
Hurry y she whispered. ''We shall
have to run for it. Ride through the
gap that the elephant made" And as
she saw Baynes swing his leg over
the back of his horse she shook the
reins free over her mounts neck. With
a lunge the nervous beast leaped for
ward. The shortest path led straight
through the center of the village, and
this Meriem took. Baynes was close
behind her, their horses running at full
speed.
SO sudden and impetuous was their
dash for liberty that it carried them
half way across the village before the
surprised inhabitants We're aware of
what was happening. Then an Arab
recognized them and. with "A cry of
alarm. raised his rifle and fired.
The shot was a signal for volley,
and amid the rattle of musketry Meri-

MADE USE OF STEAM POWER

The ancleGts 2,OOo years and more

occurred 10 them that this source OF
energy might be ,uade available for
mechanical utilization on a large scale.

In moment il was all over, and the

and camels and donkeys, terrorized by
the trumpeting of the pachyderm,
kicked and pulled at their tethers.
A dozen or more broke loose. and 1t
was the galloping OF these past him

Baynes' head. He turned TO search
for Meriem. only to find her at his
elbow.

Filled with the idea, Meriem led him

waited impatiently for what seemed
an hour. but was in reality but few
minutes. Then ne saw the girl ap-

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER

For good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the Improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest and that was that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, Just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco, grown
In this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the favor Is
greatly improved. just as cooking improves
meat, for example.--Adv.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
June l4-On the south of the Aisne,
the high bare farm land extending from
SCISSORS to the borders of the forests
OF Compiegne are cut by a valley run
ming up from the other great forest
OF Villers-Cotterets to the river al
Ambleny. This valley, with the villages
. Of Laversine, Coeurves, Cutry. Dommi-
ers and ST Pierrs-Aigle has constituted
the front for the last fortnight with the
French outposts on the east side, but the
real line of resistance on the west.
Calls in Won Boehm.
Won Hutler having met with trouble
beyond his expectations on the west
of the Disc, his colleague Won Boehm,
was sent yesterday morning to create a
diversion on this flank of the battle
field Five divisions, two of them fresh
ones, were thrown forward on both
sides of the LaverSine front of four
miles Though outnumbered, the French
gave fine account of themselves,
breaking repeated assaults of the enemy
who is reported to have got into the
villages of Coeuvre and ST. Pierre, a
feat more than counter balanced by the
French advance at Demard, farther
south on the border of Vilers- Cottercts
forest, and an admirable action of the
Americans on the ground recently taken
by them in Clignon valley.
This, however, is not the best sign
for the fifth day of the offensive. Won
Huticr's thrust from the north toward
Compegne was by far the most threat
ening of the numerous lines OF attack
the German command has now opened.
II was brought to a stop by the re-
actions OF the French left and center
and this morning was contained, as we
may hope definitely, from the Merry
plateau and along the course of the
Matt
Movement Is Comprehensive.
The German movement converging
from the east toward the great forests
that mask the PariSian region is com
prehensive. II is an advantage of the
first Importance and extends over very
large areas. But If the enemy could
have broken through by the open coun-
try west of the Disc valley this benefit
would have been automatically cancelled
without cost to them and the danger to
the capital would have become most
immediate. We must not rejoice pre-
maturely On the fifth day, however
IT can be said that the present often
sive has wen much less than any OF
the preceding phases, and that in the
only vital part of the field Generals
Foch and Petain have the situation we'll
in hand.
