other parts of the front. Along the
Dranoutre ridge, between Koudekot,
and the Locre hospice, where the
British this morning attacked the
whole Of the enemy's outpost posi-
tions, sharp fighting is continuing.
On another sector Of the front Le
Touret has been occupied. South of
the river Scarpe the attack of the
enemy yesterday completely broke
down under the British fire, but
there may be more fighting in the
district.
Late yesterday the British advance
at Fampoux wasviciously attacked by
the enemy, who was driven off with
heavy casualties without achieving
any gain.
In the Somme river zone no extra-

Dicks little crooked smile, and SEEM

That settled 1t, little book. I realized

thinwing about, but myself. I did not
want to get into a street dress.
You see. I am always taking Dicky
! out myself. I am foolishly afraid for
him when he is out of my sight or
hearing.
Since have been well enough, I
have never let him go out of the
grounds without me.
Even Annie says this is rather fool
ish, but some way, little book, seem
to feel that Dick has entrusted me
with little Dick, and that IL anything
happened to him 1 would feel that
have betrayed the trust.
