COMMENT Sc TERM1NE LA PREM1
ERE JoURNRE ...

Suite du r6cit du docteur.
Nous nous jetames au plus vite
dams la petite bande de bois qui
nous s6parait encore des block
haus. A chaque instant, les voix
des brigands Sc rapprochaient.
Blentot nous entendfmes le bruit
de leurs pas pr6cipit6s dams lie tail
lis, ct lie craquement des branches,
qu'ils ecartaient pour Sc frayer un
passage. II devenait evident que
nous allions les avoir sur nous, ct
je commencai par N m'assurer de Pe-
tat de mon amorce.
-Capitaine, dis-je, en- meme
temps, Trelawney est le meilIeur
tireur de nous tous. Vous feriez
bien de lui passer votre fusil, puis-
que le sien est mouill6.
Les armes furent aussitot echan-
gees. Trelawney, toujours silen-
cieux ct calme, s'arreta un instant
pour verifer letat de celle quill
venait de recevoir. Je remarqua
alors que Gray n'6tait pas arm6, ct
je lui passai mon coutelas. Ii y
await plaisir a voir de quel air il
cracha aussit6t dams SOS mains ct
Sc prit a brandir sa lame Notre
nouvelle recrue valait 6videmment
son peasant dor.
Quarante pas plus loin nous ar
rivions d la isi9re du bois ct nous
d6bouchions sur le blockhaus.
CONNIE nous touchions a la pals
sade du cote sud, sept des rebelIes,
commands par Job Anderson, ar
rivaient en- criant, au sud-ouest.
LIS sarreterent, surpris q notre
vue. BIT avant qu'ils eussent Gu le
temps de Sc reconna1tre, quatre
coups de feu 6taient parts: le mien
est celui de Hunter ct de Joyce,
de pinterieur du blockhaus. Ces
quatre coups s'6taient succeeds
sans ordre, mais men frent pas
moins leur effet, un des brigands
tomba; les autres sans hester,
tourn6rent les talons ct SO replon-
g6rent dams lie bois.

de tomber. II 6tait mort, une bal
lie au cpur.

YEARS OLD IS
USED FOR CAMP
Rudolph Price Stationed in
Ancient Convent-Prepar-

The following letter was received
Wednesday from Rudolph Price. son
of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Price. Price re-
ceived his degree from Earlham col
lege in June. He has been in France
for several months.
Dear Dad-I am located at last
with a definite organization We are
assigned to the French army in an
ambulance section of As men and one
first lieutenant NJ. r. C.
Eve are now in a camp but it is
very much like going to school. Our
program consists of lectures, As min
utes each, on motor cars, engines,
driving, maps, hygiene, French, etc.
Our training is about complete and we
will go out very soon. Our work will
be carrying wounded from the field to
the evacuation hospitals. Our ambu.
lances are Fords carrying two couche
(stretcher patients) and four assis
(sitting patients).
Our camp is an old convent with a
large ancient church. The convent is
about 800 years old and at one side
there is a sunken garden with an old
arens Of Peppin lie Brief, father OF
Charlemagne who is said to have
fought lion here. r is the chat
eau Napoleon used for Headquarters.
Close by is the old church where he
was christened. Some of the build
ings at F. date back IS centuries.
We have real cots with springs and
real mattresses! Also double mess
ration; one from the United States
army and one from the French.
Night before last we were called
upon to fight a fire in the little viii
lage. Our camp, the little village and
the surrounding country are beautiful
The sanitary conditions of the camp
are beyond reproach. Most of the
men are college fellows from different
universities and are a fine lot of
fellows.
We do not know how long we will
be here but probably not long, that is,
we will go out when the Huns start
another drive.
Today. July IA, is the French ma
tional holiday. Like July is to US.
and we have big celebrations on.

LOOKING FOR THE LIGHT

The infinities OF suffering Sally had
seen did not prevent her heartstrings
twisting at the grief of little Marie
Hurdis. For an instant. as Sally look
ed at her, she seemed a ghost OF her
own self. Back flashed the memory Of
that awful night In Phillipsburg, when
she. Sally. had buried her face in her
trembling hands and had stabbed her
breast with repetitions of the word
"Jilted!" Was this another heart that
must endure what hers had?
Don't. dear, don't" pleaded Sally
reaching across the small table and
gently pulling the girls hands from
her wet face. Its only that you're
tired and nervous. Soon you'll get
word from him and find he's safe.
Then you'll laugh at your own fears
He-he Is worth a good girls love
Come-tell me how long you have
known him."
Marie's eagerness to talk Of Steve
was pathetic. She mopped her eyes
with her damp handkerchief, caught
her breath In a series OF after-sobs like
a child and set about telling her story.
She had met him. 1t seemed, coming
over on the steamer. She had been
wretchedly seasick. homesick and
afraid. Stephen had begun his minis
trations with slices Of lemon and end
ed them with letters written hastily
from engineering headquarters and
field dugouts. The real motives that
prompted his attention In between,
Sally could only guess at from Marie's
recital.
He was SO wonderful" she kept
repeating ALWAYS SO thoughtful and
kind. We all came to Paris together

came to see me whenever he could

SOLDIER PREDICTS
SPEEDY END OF WAR

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Dalbey of
South Twelfth street received five let
tiers Wednesday morning from their
son, Herbert, who is in France. He is
in the field artillery and has ben
lover there" for year. He is at the
front now and it certainly isn't any
picnic either" he says.
Dalbey's letter was very optimistic
and he said the Americans were max
ing rapid progress and he thinks that
the men who are being drafted now,
will never see active service. In de-
scribing some Of the homes which the
French were forced to leave, he said
no one could ever realize the waste
and destruction over there unless he
nd actually seen it. Dalbey is in good
health and says he is enjoying life
there.

her voice dropping unconsciously as
though she were soothing some wound
ed, suffering soldier. She was very
sorry for little Marie.
But it was hard to know what to
say. Marie's eyes were fixed upon her,
big and pleading They were lovely.
soft eyes, deep and brown like a

child, impetuous and inexperienced.

Tell me something, Miss Orme-"
Marie lifted her big eyes swiftly to
Sally's face. A sudden thought seemed
to. have electrified her WAS there
any woman in his life when you knew
him? Any one he cared for? Was
there's there? Is there?" she re-
peated, gripping Sally's hand and CIV
ing it little shake as If to speed her
response.

Nine Shots Through Machine

Eight shots through his machine and
ninth through his gasoline tank fail

Harry Shafer, well known in Rich
mond and formerly of Brookville, as
he wildly describes his experiences
to Harlow Haas in recent letter.
Lieutenant Shafer was doing obser-
walton work over the enemy's lines,
and was surrounded by ten planes to
protect him, when the American squad
was attacked, and the fire concentrat-
ed on the observer. Although his
plane was struck nine times, one shot
piercing the gas tank, the Lieutenant
was able to glide down behind the
American lines, and land safely.
Two days before, Lieut.. Shafer was
