FRENCH ARMY DOGS
 CARRY SUPPLIES
Scientific American.)

Trench warfare certainly interferes with the fighters meals. After captur- ing the enemy's position in particular, is the fighter at loss to know how he will get his regular rations; for no sooner does the enemy find himself dispossessed from his original trenches than he opens up with an intense barrage fire designed to prevent ann munition and food from reaching the new occupants.
 The French army believes it has solved the problem of carrying food to the men in isolated trenches in it's lunch dogs. Carrying light lunches and men in the first line trenches when the combat is hot and protracted, these splendid trained dogs are more certain to get through barrages than men. Each dog is equipped with sort of double bag strapped tight over it's body and provided with numerous pockets for food, coffee cans, ammuni- tion and other supplies.
 It is at the military dog training grounds at Paris that dogs are pre- pared for this service. Not only are

 Rough and Ready" finds the hero played by William Farnum, cheated out of the love of a girl whom he has protected and watched over since her father left for the gold rush. The blow falls hard on the man and he goes back into Alaska to forget his sorrows where the snows are as long as his woes.
 Into this country where he has hoped to find forgetfulness, he meets again the man who wrecked his life. The man is proprietor of a gambling house of the Klondyke. Beauty Darrow, a girl of the dance halls and tool of Belmonts, turns out to be the friend of the hero and with faithful Siwash Indian this determined pros- pector battles the powerful owner of the dance hall until he sees him grovel in the snow at his feet.

 Then the scene shifts to a sana- torium where Buster keaton is the doctor, and when Fatty sees molasses dripping from the knife in the hands of the doctor and mistakes it for blood the fun is almost a riot.
 Fatty has not had a comedy in months that has fitted him as does this sparkling hash up of all the best bits obtailable. Buster Keaton shares with Fatty the fun honors, for that active little chapp is just brimful of action and his falls and eccentric moves are the very essence of humor.

WILLIAM FARNUM IN
 ROUGH AND READY"

When General Lew Wallace wrote his never to be forgotten Ben Hur," he contended that it would never be done for the dramatic stage because he believed that no man of the modern school of acting could play the part of his clean, virile hero.
 But Lew Wallace was mistaken, for when Ben Hur" was arranged for the stage favorites of his day and only played Ben Hur" as Lew Wallace would have him played, but he gave to Ben Hur' setting with his art that made it a great success where the play might otherwise have been failure.
 William Farnum. beloved of thous- ands, is not a product of the screen. He was one of the most successful stage favorites of hi sday and only went to pictures when the inducements held out by the producers were too al turing to resist.

alone. don't want any coward around
me-"
The words cut Lloyd like knife,
but he was desperate. Taking the re-
vOlver out of the holster of the dying
man he pressed the cold muzZle to the
soldiers head and replied:
eyes, it is Lloyd, the coward Of
Company d, but so help me God, If
you don't tell me how to load that gun
I'll put a bullet through your brain"
A sunny smile came over the cOun-
tenance of the dying man and he said
in faint whisper:
"Good old boy! knew you wouldn't
disgrace our company"
Lloyl interposed: "FOr Gods sake,
if you want to save that company you
are so prond of, tell me how to load
that ID gun!"
AS If rcciting a lesson in school, the
soldier replied in weak, singsOng
voice: "Insert tag end of belt in feed
block, with left hand pull belt left
front. Pull crank handle back on roll
er, let go, and repeat motion. Gun is
now loaded. To fire, raise automatic
safety latch, and press thumbpiece.
Gun is now firing. If gun stops. aScer-
tain position of crank handle"
But Lloyd waited for no more. With
wild JOY at his heart, he took belt
from one of the ammunition boxes ly-
ing beside the gun, and followed the
dying mans instructions. Then he
pressed the thumbpiece and a burst Of
fire rewarded his efforts. The gun
was working.
Training it on the Germans he shout
ee for Joy as their front rank went
dC&n.
,'raversing the gun back and forth
along the mass of Germans, he saw
thtm break and run back to the cover
of 9heir trench. leaving their dead and
wounded behind. He had saved his
company, he, Lloyd, the coward, had
"done his bit" Releasing the thumb
piece, he looked at the watch on his
wrist. He was still alive at "3 :38."
"Ping "a bullet sang through the
air, and Lloyd fell forward across the
gun. A thin trickle Of blood ran down
his face from little, black round hole
in his forehead.
"The sentence of the court had been
duly carried out"
The captain slowly raised the limp
form dropping over the gun and, wip-
ing the blood from the white face, rec
Ognized it as Lloyd, the coward OF ID
company. Reverentiy covering the face
with his handkerchief he turned to his
"noncoms" and, in voice husky with
emotions, addressed them:
"Boys, it's Lloyd, the deserter. He
has redeemed himself, died the death
of a hero-died that his mates might
live"
That afternoon solemn procession
wended its way toward the cemetery.
In the front a Stretcher was carried by
two sergeants. Across the stretcher
the Union Jack was carefully spread.
Behind the stretcher came captain
of D company.
Arriving at the cemetery, they halt
ed in front of an open grave. All about
them wooden crosses were broken and
trampled into the ground.
A griZzled old sergeant noting this
destruction, muttered under his
breath: Course the cowardly blighter
who wrecked those crosses! II could
only get these two hands around his
neck his trip West would be short"
The corpse on the stretcher seemed
to move, or it might have been the
wind blowing the folds Of the Union
