SYMPATHY FOR
THE SORROWING
To the Noble Grand, Officers and
Members of Tulula Lodge No. %,

To the Noble Grand, Officers and
Members of Tulula Lodge No. %,
/. o. O.. F.:
We your committee appointed to
draft resolutions of sympathy upon
the death of Willie and Tommie Clay
ton, sons of our Brother f. C. Clay
ton, beg to submit the following:
In a very mysterious and solemn
manner, the hand of fate has rested
heavily upon our brother and his
family during the past few weeks.
Two of his sons who had answered
the call of their country have had to
answer to the last roll call.
Our hearts have been made heavy
with sorrow on mis- behalf, and still
we rejoice in the fact that his pat
riotism outweighs the deep sorrow of
his heart and he is yet willing to
make further sacrifices, if need be, in
order to make the world better and
safer for liberty and freedom.
Therefore, be it Resolved, That with
his sorrows the hearts of his brother
Odd Fellows are heavy laden.
That we mourn as brethren indeed
and commend to him and his sorrow
ing family the God of our fathers,
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, as the only
burden bearer who is able to under
stand and to sympathize with every
sorrowful impulse of the human
heart.
And we pray that the blessing of
Almighty God may rest abundantly
upon every member of this sorrowing
family. And that the Holy Spirit
Himself may occupy the vacancy
caused by the taking away of these
two precious boys.
Resolved further, that copy OF
these resolutions be presented under
seal of the lodge to the bereaved
family, that a copy be spread upon
our minutes and a copy also be given
to the Ocala Star for publication.
Submitted in Friendship, Love and
Truth. M. NJ. Little.

Another strong enemy counter attack
against the Americans in the Castig-

to have met complete repulse, ac-

been subjected to almost continued

In every case the enemy waves

TOUGH BUNCH TO TACKLE

With the American Army, France,
May 29.-The enemy launched an
other heavy gas attack against our
troops in the Luneville sector early
this morning and attempted to reach
our line at three places. They were
repulsed with comparatively heavy
losses.
Soon afterward the enemy put
down heavy barrage and fourteen
trench in which the Americans Mon
day were subjected to gas attack,
and who were fighting mad. The Am
ericans emerged from their dugouts
and hand-to-hand fighting, which was
bloody for the Germans ensued, the
Americans going for the enemy with
knives. The Germans had been or
dered to take prisoners at any cost,
but they failed to get any. The Am
erican losses were insignificant. The
enemy lost all the fourteen men who
penetrated the American position
nine having been killed.
ONLY NEED MORE AMERICANS
Many of the American soldiers who
took part in the attack around Mont
didier also participated in repulsing
the German attack Monday. An Am
erican was found today in shell hole
in no mans land with two wounded
Germans as prisoners. He was unable
to get back to the American lines last
night so he stood guard over them
until the attack today rescued him,
and he brought in the prisoners.

he did not see one American fall dur

There was no sign of life except
what they brought with them into

Not till they were we'll up toward
the summit of the divide did they
decide to camp. They drove into a
little draw and embarrassed the
weary dogs. 1t was bitterly cold,
but they were forced to set up the
tent and stove to keep from freez-
ing. Their numbed fingers made a
slow job of the camp preparations.
At last the stove was going, the dogs
fed, and they themselves thawed
out. They fell asleep shortly to the
sound of the mournful howling of
the dogs outside.
Long before daybreak they were
afoot again. Holt went out to chop
some wood for the stove while Cor

a little thing sometimes makes a
persons life, just as it frequently
affects the important personages also.
If Carol Moore had not determined
tor go on the stage, she would have
married Jim Stevens, and they would
have been happy together. AS it
was, Carol, determined on a careeer
had kept Jim Stevens waiting four
years for an answer. Not that she
held out any hope to him, not at all,
because she had told him over and
over again that he really ought to
turn his attention and hopes to some
other more worthwhile girl.
Someone will make you a home,
Jim, and will be the kind of girl
you want. | know | never could
settle down unless | was sure / never
could make good in my own way
Jim had not wanted to believe Snis,
but he was beginning to think the
girl meant what she said when after
four years she sill persisted in what
she called her career. To be sure,
she had never graduated from stock,
but she was perfectly willing to stay
where she was and work along.
Some day, when she least expected
it, her chance ould come, and when
it did things would be changed.
And so she had waited, and final
ly, when even to herself she began
to admit that she was a failure, the
chance did come and she was given
a small part in a metropolitan play.
You see, Jim," she said with de-
lighted eyes, II told you it would
come if l waited. Now are you sat
isfied that l was right?"
But Jim wasn't satisfied. He was
still sure that Carol was not meant
to be an actress. OF course the girl
had never had a chcance to show
what she could dqo, but Jim, much
in love with her as he was, could not
see any great talent in her perfor-
mances. To be sure she was beauti-
fulf, and her radiant youth gave
her a certain spontaneity, burt Jim
thought he detected a certain mon
otony to her performances that, not
noticeable in a second rate stock COM
pany, would be fairly obvious to
metropolitan audience.
Jim was going with the play to
New York when it opened there, and
the night before they started, he had
q long conversation with Carol. In
the main she laughed at him, but at
the end of the evening, when she saw
that he would not be convinced, she
had made him q promise.

play has opened in New York, I re-
ceive SO much as one adverse criti-
cism, I'll promise to marry you with

CHAPTER MI.
fExun On TTla Trail

Elliot and Holt left Kusiak in a
spume of whirling, binding snow.
They travelled light, not more than
forty pounds to the dog. for they
wanted to make speed. 1t was not
cold for Alaska. They packed their
fur coats on the sled and wore nit
tens of moosehide with duffel lining,
on their feet mukluks above Ger
man" socks. Holt had been a sour
dough miner too long to let his
partner perspire from overmuch
clothing. He knew the danger of
pneumonia from a sudden cooling of
the heat of the body.
Old Gideon took seven of his
dogs, driving them two abreast Six
were huskies, rangy, muscular ami
mails with thick, dense coats. They
were in the best of spirits and car
ried their tails erect like their Male
mute leader. Butch, though a Male
mute, had a strong strain of collie
in him. It gave him a sense of re-
sponsibility. His business was to
see that the team kept strung out
on the trail, and Butch was a past
master in the matter of discipline.
His weight was SO fighting pounds,
and he could thrash in short order
any dog in the team.
The snow was wet and soft. 1T
clung to everything it touched. The
dogs carried pounds of it in the tufts
of hair that rose from their backs.
An icy pyramid had to be knocked
from the sled every half-hour. The
snowshoes were heavy with white
slush. Densely laden spruce boughs
brushed the faces of the men and
showered them with unexpected
little avalanches.
They took turns in going ahead of
the team and breaking trail 1t was
heavy, muscle-grinding work. Be-
fore noon they were both utterly
fatigued. They dragged forward
through the slush. lifting their
laden feet sluggishly. They must
keep going, and they did, but it
seemed to them that every step must
be the last.
Shortly after noon the storm wore
itself out. The temperature had
been steadily falling and now it took
rapid drop. They were passing
through timber, and on a little slope
they built with a good real of diff
Guilty a fire. BY careful nursing
they soon had a great bonfire going,
in front of which they put their wet
socks, mukluks, scarfs and parkas to
dry. The toes of the dogs had be-
come packed with little ice balls.
Gordon and Holt had to go care

fully over the feet of each animal
to dig these out.
The old-timer thawed out a slab
of dried salmon till the fat began to
frizzle and fed each husky a pound
of the fish and a lump of tallow.
He and Gordon made a pot of tea
and ate some meat sandwiches they
had brought with them, to save
cooking until night.
When they took the trail again 1t
was in moccasins instead of muk-
luks. The weather was growing
steadily colder. and with each de-
gree of fall in the thermometer the
trail was easier.
'Mushing at fifty below zero is all
right when it is all right" explained
Holt in the words of the old pros
pector. But when it isn't all right
it's HI
1T is not fifty below yet, is it?"
Nope. But she's on the way.

cracking noise she's fifty"
