ARMIES IN FRANCE, June
ST. q. m.-American ma
rines and adjoining units
again drove forward north
west of Chateau Thiery to-
day.
German counter attacks
were blocked by the Amefi-
can advance.
Artillery fire, which has been
incessant along Belleau wood
turnout the night, increased vio-
lently about a. m.
At that moment the right wing
of the marines attacked in the
south part of the wood, where the
Germans had retained foothold.
The success of this attack has
not been fully reported, altho
numerous prisoners have been sent
back.
Eliminate the Enemy.
Indications are that the Ameri-
cans eliminated the enemy north
of the sunken road between Torcy
and Belleau "a front of about a
m!le).
AT 1890 the enemy attempted
to advance.
Their infantry was supported
by artillery and machine guns,
and their attack was preceded by
a barrage of gas shells and clouds
Of poisonous smoke.
The marines donned their gas
masks and stopped them, 400
yards from the trenches, with ar
tillery and rifle fire.
At the same time the Ger
mans attacked an adjoining
unit, losing hundred men
and suffering complete re-
pulse. The American loss
was inconsequential.
Less than an hour later the
Germans attacked the marines
who are holding Bouresches 1.-TWO
miles southeast of the previous at
tack against the marines).
The marines, who had been
strengthened during the night. re-
pulsed the enemy with sanguinary
losses.
The Price We Pay.
Earlier in the night the Ameri-
cans attacked at the right OF
Torcy, advancing half a kilometer
and holding their gain.
The Americans found the
ground covered with unburied
Germans, as we'll as many new
graves marked by German he'll

Here the Germans had dug in.
but were ousted.
There are evidences that the
German elements are again receive
ing fresh reinforcements, in an
effort to hold the Americans.
Gently moving American
ambulances rolling toward
Paris along n perfect French
highway between rows Of tall
trees, today showed the price
Americans are willing to pay
to stop the German rush.
Some, of course. paid dearer
still. These who sold their lives
for civilization--at the price Of
many Huns--could not receive

of gratitude, which took the form

a salute as the ambulances passed,

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood Is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily.
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over''
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure.
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. It is to be noticed In the
pale or pimply face, the tired, hagkarS
appearance or the listless manner.

CHAPTER xiv.-continued.

1t was late in the afternoon when
Kazan and Gray Wolf came out on .
sand bar five or six miles downstream.
Kazan was tapping up the cool water
when Sandy drifted quietly around q
bend hundred yards above them. II
the wind had been right, or II Sandy
had been using his paddle, Gray Wolf
would have detected danger. 1t was
the metallic click-click of the old-fash-
ioned lock of Sandy's rifle that awak-
ened her to sense of peril. Instantly
Kazan heard the sound and stopped
drinking to face it. In that moment
Sandy pressed the trigger. A belch Of
smoke, q roar of gunpowder, and Ka-
xan felt a red-hot stream of fire pass
with the swiftness Of a lightning-flnsh
through his brain. He stumbled back,
his legs give way under him, and he
crumpled down in q limp heap. Gray
Wolf darted like streak Off into the
bush. Blind, she had not seen Kazan
wilt down upon the white sand. Not
until she was quarter of mile away
from the terrifying thunder Of the
white mans rifle did she stop and wait
for him.
Sandy McTrigger grounded his canoe
on the sand bar with an exultant yell.
"Got you, you old devil, didn't IT. he
cried. "Fd "a got the other, too. If I'D
"a had something besides this d

He turned Kazan's head over with

sudden look Of amazement. For the
