could feel his breath on her cheek. and
she could feel his arms culver. and the
rapid beat of his heart. For an instant
she thought Roaring Bill Wagstafr was
about to make the colossal mistake OF
trying to kiss her.
But he set her gently on her feet and
opened the door. And by the time he
had his outer clothes of and the fires
started up he was talking whimsically
about their Indian neighbors, and Ha-
eel breathed more freely. The clear
est impression that she had, aside from
her brief panic. was Of his strength. He
had run with her as easily as II she
had been a child.
After that they went out many times
together. Bill took her hunting. initi-
ated her into the mysteries Of rife
shooting. and the manipulation of
six-shooter. He taught her to walk on
snowshoes, lightly over the surface Of
the crusted snow, through which other
wise she fioundered. A sort Of truce
arose between them, and the days drift
ed by without untoward incident. Bill
tended to his horses, chopped wood,
carried water. She took upon herself
the care Of the house. And through
the long evenings, In default Of conver-
sation. they would sit with book on
either side of the fireplace that roared
defiance to the storm gods without.
And sometimes Hazel would find her
self wondering why Roaring Bill Wag-
stan could not have come into her life
in different manner. As It was-sho
never, never would forgive him.

WREATH FOR ENEMY AVIATOR
Scotch Flyer Who Brought Down Ger.
man Delegated by Royal Flying
Corps to Deliver Flowers.

A true incident that reveals the re-
spect shown by allied aviators for the
memory Of drring enemy flyer is
told In "Tam o. the Scoots," by Ed
gar Wallace. writing in Everybody's.
Tam. an intrepid Scotchman, was
told that the man he had brought down
the day before was n well-known Ger
man aviator named Won Zeidlitz, and
on behalf Of the Royal Flying corps
Tam was selected to take wreath to
the funeral.
"The wreath. in n tin box. firmly
corded and attached to n little para
chute. was placed in the fusilage Of n
small Mornne-his own machine being

Tam climbed into the seat. In five
minutes he was pushing up at the
extreme angle mt which a man can fly.
Tam never employed a lesser one.
Evidently the enemy scout real
lied the business of this lone British
flyer and must have signaled his Views
TO the earth. for the antiaircraft bat
teries suddenly ceased to fire, and
when, approaching Ludezeel, Tam
sighted an enemy squadron engaged in
a practice flight, they opened out and
made way for him. offering no mo-
lestation.
Tam began to plane down. He spot

and saw little procession making its
way to the grounds. He came down to
thousand feet and dropped his para
chute. He saw 1t open and sail earth
ward and then someone on the ground
waved a white handkerchief.

So saying. Jones unlocked the door
and hastened into the house. In about
two IVinutes he came out again with
his features puckered into a peculiar

HINDENBURG'S PRE-ARRANGED
RETREATS.

Every time the German army re-
treats Hindenburg and Ludendorff
proclaim to the deluded and cledulous
Germans that eve conducted trium-
phantly our presrranged retreat"
Every retreat seems to have been
"prearranged," provided for, planned
beforehand. No doubt this is partial
ly the truth. Like the man who was
to face a bully in iisticuf encoun-
ter, before going into the fight he
arranged carefully a good, soft place
on which to fall. And this is the
wise thing to do, but an acknowledge
ment of his opponents superiority in
the beginning. iIindenburg is past
master in the art of retrcuting, ii
must be admitted. His "triumphant''
retreat is IL camouflage by which he
seems to be fooling part of the peo-
pie all the time. No doubt he is now
already prcarranging further re-
treat across the Rhine and towards
Berlin, and it will, of course, be tri-
umphantly accomplished and when his
final surrender will be "triumphant-
ly" pulled off, and when Butcher Bill
Hindenburg, Ludendorff and Co.
march to prison in chains, Foch and
his friends will see to it that it shall
be "triumphantly" accomplished.

EXHlLARATING.

The news from the front for the
past few days has been IL great tonic
to the people of the country. The
defeat of the Bulgarian army and
the ultimate surrender of the Turks
to General Allenby's forces is Il great
victory for the Allies. Some military
expert has said that the loss of Bull
garia to the Entente is almost rs Sc
rious a loss as the breaking down OF
the Russian army two Yeas ago, and
its subsequent loss to the Allies. Be
that as 1t may, the Allied armies, not
only have the upper hand now. but
the morale of the soldiers facing Hin
denburg on the Western front has
been greatly strengthened by the de
feat of the Bulgars. 1t seems cviden,
now that the next move will he the
surrender of Turkey, and when chat
day comes, the Christian nations will
be happy. The Terrible Turk" has
much charged against him. The bru-
tai punishment of Christians, of only
recent occurrence, will have to be
paid for. 1t will not be more than
the Ottoman Empires just deserts if
the Peace Council dismembers the
Empire in its entirety, and parcels /,
up among the smaller nations. But
these are questions to be settled, not
IN the dim distant future, but very
soon, in our humble judgment, by the
International Peace Council, which will
be assembled to draw up articles of
permanent peace, and around this ta-
bile your Uncle Sans beaming face
Will be seen in all its glory.

IN PALESTINE AND THE BALK
ANS.


For sometime little news hrs come
from the Holy Land and people were
wondering what General Allcnby was
doing. Now they know. On Thurs
day last he made :, strong attack on
a line of lG miles and routed the
Turks, taking 5000 prisoners. This
battle field is famous in history. II
Is the scene of some of Joghua's cam
paigns against the heather, who were
perhaps no more cruel than the Turks
of today. Engaged in this battle
against the Turks were many Moham-
medan troops from India and Mo-
hammedan Arabs who have revolted
against Turkish rule.
Also from the Balkans and Mace
donla comes cheerful news of the sue
cess of the Allies. 1t is not to be
wondered at that Germany and Aus
tria are crying for peace. They know
they are beaten. After having start ed
the war and having been dsappoin..
ed IN the quick and easy victory they
mad anticipated, they now want to
make peace and savethemselvcs. If
they could stop the war and retain
their army and bring their navy out
OF hiding intact and lose no terri
tory, they would he glad to do so.
and that is the kind of peace thew
want. This would save the Hohcn.
zo!lern and the Hapsburgs. Doubtless
these potentates fea, that when Ger
many and Austria go down INTO COM
piete defeat they will share the fate
OF Napoleon III, who was driven
out by his own people af.cr disaster
fell upon his country. If such term,
Of peace rs Germany pleads for were
granted, it would leave her eduipped
to strike another blow at the peace
fnl people Of the world and at civil
cation in general at the first opror-
tune moment. But the Germans have
no: yet been sufficiently beaten. Their
teeth must be drawn and their claws
cut SO that they cannot see the world
on fire again. And the terms of peace
mus be dictated by the Allies and
not settled by negotiations with the
defeated enemy.
