CHAPTER XIII.

No word had come of any project Of
attack on the morrow morning. In this
the sergeant's prediction had probably
proved false; yet the feeling in the air
of something impending seemed to
have communicated itself to the enc
my's lines. .. --... -....
A wiring party and a listening post
party were out from the American
trenches, and Mark was on duty with
three others of the stretcher bearers
company, ready for a call.
A corporal was at the dugout door.
"Stretcher bearers !" he whispered.
The four men were on their feet
Immediately, two stretchers ready.
"a man hit between the lines" said
the corporal. you've got to bring him
in. You can see him from this loop
hole"
Mark stepped upon the sentry's plat
form and saw. indistinct in the dark
ness, q huddled form about halfway
to the German trenches.
Then he heard Kellerman's voice at
his side.
"a man of the -th got hit" he said.
Bring him in, Weston. Make Il quick
Job of it. Corporal Baines, you'll take
charge. You two will be ready to take
out your stretcher in case anything
happens" he added to the two others.
The corporal led the way, crouching,
toward the gap in the wires. They
passed two lines, traversed a diagonal
lane, and emerged beyond the third
into the open. The body of the wound
ed man, which had disappeared, came
into light, a black patch under the
stars.
"Get down J" whispered the corporal
They flung themselves to the ground
and proceeded to wriggle forward, un-
der his directions, pushing the stretch
er as noiselessly as possible across
the rough ground. Suddenly the man
with Mark uttered an exclamation.
"What the devils he sent us on this
job for?" he demanded truculently.
"Shut up, you fool!" whispered the
corporal hoarsely.
'GThat amt the man. He's been
there these past three days. Dutch
man he is; every listening post party
knows him. What's the good of bring
| ing him in? He amt got no head to
| him"
"What you talking about?" snarled
the corporal. "That's the man the Ma
ior said, and there amt no other in
sight. Tcht!"
They flattened themselves as q
rocket burst into the air above the
| German lines.

Small girls, never too small to enjoy
their pretty finery, are bobbing up on
the promenades and in the parks,
dressed in their new winter clothes.
They are anticipating the snow with
coZy furs and coats and bright hats
and bonnets, destined to make them
took like gay winter flowers against
white background, when it flies. Their
millinery is colorful and often their
coats are in light tones and the shoes
of the small fry, more often than not,
have white uppers with black vamps.
Rose, bright blues and the brown and
castor colors are much in evidence In
millinery and we may promise our
selves a liberal sprinkling of red tones
as the winter advances. Solomon in
all his glory may have been arrayed
as gorgeously as one of these young
sters, but he never was better suited
or happier over it.
Of all her belongings the little girl
seems to get the most pure JOY out OF
fur neckpieces and muffs. Almost as
soon as she can walk they are ready
for her. What woman cannot recall
the first fur set that came into her pos
session-usually at Christmas time,
and her unmiXed delight in it? Moth
ing but the first parasol and the first
pocketboOk can bring the same thrill
TO the childish heart. Here are at
least two good hints for the holidays:
Squirrel, beaver, imitation ermtne,
krimmer and other inexpensive skins
are appropriate for children and are

NO GENERAL RULE POSSIBLE
Matter of Proper Amount of Bodily
Exercise Must Be Left to Dis
creton of Individual.

'It is an axiom that mental excel
lence is to a very considerable extent
dependent upon mans physical con-
.dition," declared Secretary of State
Robert Lansing. at is equally true
that rules of health, except the most
general, depend in large measure up
on the individual and upon his peculiar
needs.
eff 1 were asked to lay down rules
which might be applied generally" con-
tinued the American premier, Il
would embody them in the phrase
More fresh air and less food How
much bodily exercise should be taken
and its character depend upon the
individual, his physical condition and,
to an extent, on his tastes. Of course,
exercise is, as a rule, beneficial, but
it ought to be a pleasure to the one
taking it if he would get the best re-
suits.
1T may sound like heresy, but L
sometimes wonder whether exercise.
when it is not a diversion, is really
worth while. Certainly the mind Is
not rested if it rebels against certain
forms of physical training which are
being taken, and recreation for the
mind of one engaged in intellectual
pursuits is, in my opinion. one of the
most essential purposes Of exercise of
the muscles.
81 believe, however, as l have said,
that fresh air is one of the great re-
storatives, and the fact that exercise
is generally taken in the open is one

Sometimes a great designer chooses
to show just what simple means will
serve the ends of genius. Here is a
simple afternoon gown of gray satin
that has beauty and distinction writ
ten in all it's lines and in every other
item of it's makeup. A great name ap-
pears on the small satin tip that is the
signature to this lovely frock, and it
gives the wearer a gratifying assur-
ance of being correctly dressed. But
the experienced student of fashions
does not need to see it-art and excel
lence are written all over the gown
and everyone can infer that the name
of an artist belongs to it.
1t takes good quality in the satin to
achieve the effect sought in this very
unpretentious but aristocratic bit of
designing; this is imperative; but in
color there Is considerable latitude.
AS pictured 1t is in light gray, but
the lovely terra Gotta or henna tones,
the new "celestial' blues-virile and
lovely-and the deep amethyst shades
would be as effective as gray. But
gray Is the best choice when the frock
Is expected to meet the requirements
Of many functions, and for other col
ors the choice of fur would be differ

lustrated In some notes from these
county reporters. One man gives an
average of 15 miles as the longest dis
tance for any considerable number Of
farmers, but explains that the haul is
to the Cumberland river, which, in his
county, is navigable only five months
of the year; for the other seven
months the haul is 40 miles to rail-
road. In Mathews county, Va, few
trucks are used; but, since the county
is indented by several navigable wa
terways, motor boats and sail boats
are used by the farmers to a consif
cradle extent. One reporter in vest
.ern Oregon says that neither roads nor
automobiles are to be found within
20 miles of his home; produce is car
ried on pack mules, over difficult trails,
to a landing on Rogue river. The
heavy hauling in Mecosta county,
Mich, as in some other northern coun-
ties In the United States, is often post
poned until snow comes, when sleds
are used.

ence of the captain commanding the
stretcher bearers company, and-Kel-
lerman. He saluted and stood to at
tention, watching Kellermans eyes
wander over him appraisingly.
Orderly, where's the man who came
with you?" inquired the Captain
briskly.
'He disappeared on the way up, sir"
answered Mark.
what do you mean by disappeared?
Did you see him go back? Or was he
with YOU one minute and gone the
next?"
81 thought he was behind me, sir. 1
didn't see him go, or know anything
about it,
The Captain, who had been holding
the receiver Of his telephone, and evil
dentIy waiting for his connection, got
it. Mark heard him sending out q gen

7 eral notice of the absent man. He
gave his number, and the name "Har-
| ley"
No doubt he had mistaken it as he
received it by telephone from the hos
pital that morning.
You'll parade before me tomorrow
morning" said Captain Keyes to the
sergeant. "Till then you are under
open arrest"
The sergeant saluted. Fright turn!"
he said to Mark.
"Wait q minute" interposed Keller
man. "Td like to have a few words
| with this man, Captain Keyes.'
"By all means, SIR" replied the Cap
tain, rising.
He strolled, humming to the door
of the dugout, leaving Kellerman and
Mark together.
$50 you've enlisted under the name
Weston?" inquired Kellerman.
"That is my name, sir"
"It was a shock to me yesterday,
Wallace. I never expected it. Your
disappearance stirred Washington a
good deal. The war office would have
exonerated you"
In spite of his loathing of the man,
Mark felt his heart begin to hammer
with hope. He looked at Kellerman
with pathos in his eyes; he could not
hide his feelings; he was cropping amid
reconstruct them.
"Ive no doubt you misunderstood
me-" said Kellerman. "My association
with the Henson woman was part of
! my official duties-the most distasteful
part, but one that had to be carried
out You and 1 were the victims of an
acute piece of trickery. That fan was
wired"
"From your room, SIR" said Mark.
"From my room," answered Keller
man. "And, no doubt, by the Henson
woman's agent, that spy who called to
see you at the war office the same
morning. Colonel Howard knows all
about it. He means to stand by you.
He heard you had enlisted, but he did
not know you were in the medical
corps, nor under an alias. He is at
the base now, Wallace. When he comes
up next week 1 shall make it my busi-
ness to see him about you"
"No, sir" gasped Mark. "It doesn't
matter now.''
"It matters to me, if not to yourself,
Wallace. 1 cannot rid myself of the
sense of partial responsibility. And
as for what happened last night, you
took me off my guard. I'll be frank
with you. 1t was my duty to interest
the Henson woman. I succeeded too
well. She followed me here. I couldn't
bring myself to denounce her. For
that I have placed my own position
in jeopardy. When you appeared 1
did not know what to do or say"
"You found a course of action" an
swered Mark, torn between the desire
to return blow for blow and to do JUS
tice to Kellerman, whose story left
him doubtful and wondering.
"Will you accept my frank apol-
ogy?" asked Kellerman, extending his
hand.
Mark took it. 81 will, Major Keller
man." he answered.
And he made his way to the door of
the dugout, with a feeling of warmth
in his heart such as he had not known
for many q month. He believed Kel-
lerman-and yet but he fought
down his instinct and still believed
him.

WIntering Idle Horses.

At this time of the year practically
all the heavy work on most farms has
been finished, and during the winter
horses are more or less Idle. Since
idle horses give no return in labor
performed, the feeding should be as
economical as possible. and proper care
should be taken Of the animals in or.
der that they may be in the best pos
sible condition for work In the early
spring.
Horses should not be confined to the
barn during the winter on a liberal
supply of grain. It is far better to
trough" them through the cold months.
They should be given the run of the
yard or lot during the day. This should
be provided with protected shed, one
that Is thoroughly dry and well pro-
vided with bedding. While nature
does her part and protects the horse
with a heavy coat of hair during the
cold months, the shed is necessary in
order to afford the requisite shelter
and protection against rains, snow,
and cold winds. Winter winds come
mostly from the north and northwest,
and the shed should be so situated
and constructed as to give the proper
protection from this quarter.
In the feeding Of idle horses high
priced feed should be avoided in order
to keep them in proper condition at
the lowest cost. It has been found
that idle horses do very well on a win
ter feed consisting Of all the hay, oat
straw, cornstalks, or sorghums they
will consume, so that little grain is
necessary. Idleness also permits of a
more MISREPRESENTATION of the feed,
thus insuring proper digestion.

ent, a dark fur as seal or black lynx,
probably.
The gown is made in two pieces and
of the skirt there Is nothing to say
but that it Is plain, shapely and per-
fectly adjusted. The overdress has
rather short tunic Joined to the bodice
under a girdle of satin. But this de-
scription is altogether inadequate If
it doesn't include mention of the fine
management of the lines in this over
garment. The tunic Is banded with
fur-what is called taupe lynx. The
sleeves are of georgette crepe with
deep cuffs of satin. The "V" shaped
opening Of the bodice Is outlined with
embroidery in gray silk and silver and
the same embroidery appears on the
cuffs. The little chemisette is of plain
georgette There is an interesting fin
ishing touch in the girdle, where it is
slipped through large rings covered
with silk, crocheted over them. Two
long ends, finished with silk and sill
yer tassels, complete the girdle and
these popular floating ends are placed
at the right side. The accessories
worn with frock of this kind must
be well considered-hose and hat may
not be chosen at random.

Then the machine guns burst forth.
"Rat-tat -tat-tat!" sang the bullets over
head.
They swished through the grass and
battered on the ground. No answer
came from the section of the Ameri-
can line Immediately behind the de-
tenders, but on each side there came
answering volleys, making the air an
inferno of cracking death. Then,
gradually, the alarm subsided. The
rocket showers died down.
"Now, boys!" whispered the corpo-
raj.
They crawled onward. The huddled
form came into clear view. The body
seemed to be already blending with
the earth, melting into formlessness ;
and there was no need to wonder
whether this was of a dead or wounded
man.
The corporal swore.
ST told you so!'' mumbled Marks
companion 81 told you so. What's he
sent us here for, the foOl?"
His words ended in gurgle. From
behind the shelter of the corpse leaped
five men. Noiselessly they flung them
selves upon the party of three. Mark
felt a pistol at his temple.
Surrender" hissed a voice in his
ear.
In n flash he realized the trap. The
three were unarmed, nOncOmbatants !;
it was a counter-raid-and Kellerman
had known that the esemy were abroad
that night and suspected their rendez-
vous.
He saw his two companions being
dragged, unresisting toward the Ger
man lines. Three men were with

CHAPTER XII.

And he slept, though he had not ex-
pected to close his eyes that night.
He slept as soundly as his comrades,
awakening, as was his habit, a few
minutes before reveille, with mind
singularly clarified by sleep. He would
ask to parade before his commanding
officer in the morning and state the
facts, leaving the rest to fate.
He was not destined to, for the same
corporal who had put him on duty dur
ing his previous afternoon "off' called
him five minutes before par. q.
''You can leave them buttoL Wes-
ton,' he said with a grin. You won't
need to polish 'em where you're going.
The sergeant major wants you at
once"
Mark hurried to the office, to find the
sergeant major in company with one
of the senior captains; then he remem-
bered that rumors of the preceding
evening had sent the Major away with
the inspecting General. His Interview
must be postponed, then.
"Weston, you'd better get your
breakfast at once said the sergeant
major. "And have your kit packed in
twenty minutes. You and Hartley are
going up to the front"
The senior captain temporarily COM
manding the detachment unbent from
the official air which he was trying
terribly hard to assume.
"You were specially asked for from
Headquarters" he said, with another
man: and I'm sending Hartley be-
cause he's your friend. They want two
more men for the stretcher bearers
company. Well be sorry to lose you,
Weston"
Mark saluted and went out just as
Hartley appeared at the door. The
sergeant major enlightened Hartley
briefly.
"You must have some pull at head
quarters, Weston" he said. do you

liked best. There are many others, in
cluding those that have acquired
names given them by the furriers, and
the fine thing about them is that they
are within the reach of nearly all
people. For little girls of three and
over there are miniature round muffs

cozy. So far as styles are concerned
there is little variation in children's
furs-they are much alike until the
miss is well advanced in the flapper
stage. The set illustrated is familiar
and reliable type for little folks. 1t
is long, crinkly white fur that looks
best on the youngest wearers, where
it usually finds itself in the company
of bright-hued broadcloth coats and
velvet hats or bonnets more or less
fluffy with frillS.
