here and there above the cots.
About 1 o'clock Guernier, who had

r N the town of Liria, Spain, there
was recently excavated a complete
T. mosaic which, it is believed by
Spanish critics, is about 1,4OO
years old. The "Esfera," of Madrid, car
ried the following description:
"Ths mosaic is probably one of the most
remarkable in existence. 1t consists of two
parts covering the atrium and the adjoining
parts of Roman house of the sixth CEN
fury, and represents in thirteen scenes the
tasks performed by Hercules.
''In the centre Hercules is seen, dressed
in female attire, spinning, and beside him
Omphale, the tempting matron, holding
club in her hand.
around this central picture the
deeds of the demi-god are represented;
his struggles with the Lion of Nemea, with
the Bull of Creta with the Lernean Hydra,
with the wild boar of Ermanthea; the
freeing iof Theseus and the death of the
King of Thracia, the battle with the ANA
IONS and the robbery of the golden apples"

"'My arms,'" Guernier repeated.

The hospital was about to awaken.

repeated once more. "Ah, but what is

Again there was silence. Day came,
gray dawn, streaked with rain, which

breasts, in that impressive attitude of
reflection which the dead assume.

orderly stammered.
They had both gone. Guernier. living
across his cot, his bandages stained with
blood, uncovered, still held in his hand
the piece of paper. The pencil had
fallen to the floor.
Then the day surgeon arrived, placed
his hand on them and said:

British steamship Penistone, victim of

A torpedo fired at close range hit the
vessel amidship, killing the fourth en-
gineer and wounding four tiremen.
The captain of the Penistone, who
returned to his ship just before she
went down in the hope of obtaining
his papers, was captured by the U-boat
and kept aboard, prisoner of war.
The commander of the Penistone was
Captain David Evans and the engineer
killed by the explosion was Cavivor
Howells. The fact was definitely estab-
lished by naval authorities, it was
stated, that Captain Evans still was
aboard the U-boat. With Howells dead

claim that the cost of living in 1918
