Esefore lie got a cigarette rolled and
lighted. He wondered little at the
physical reaction from his outburst, but
he wondered more at Buck Olney sit
ring alive aud unhurt on the horse be-
fore him, Seabeck horse which Ward
had seen Floyd Carson ri5tng once or
twice. he wondered what FLOYD
would do if he saw Buck now and the
use to which the horse was being EIit
Ward finished the cigarette. rolled
another and smoked that also before
he could put his hand out before him
and hold 1t reasonably steady. When
he felt fairly sure of himself again he
! lifted his hat to wipe off the sweat of
his anger. gave big sigh and returned
to the tying of the hangman's moose.
When he finally had ii fixed the way
he wanted it he went close and flung
the moose over Buck Olney's head He
could not trust himself to speak just
then. He cast an inquiring glance up
ward, took Bucks horse by the bride
and led him forward a few steps so
that Buck was directly under the over
| hanging limb. Then. with the coil of
Bucks rope in his hand, he turned back
and squirmed up the tree trunk until
he had reached the limb. He crawled
out until he was over Bucks bullet
punctured hat crown, sliced off what
rope he did not need and flung it to the
ground. He saw Buck vince as the
rope went past him. The pinto horse

here Ward called shortly. and gave a
| witch of the rope as a hint
Mechanically Buck obeyed. He did
not know that the rope was not yet
| tied to the limb.
Ward tied the rope securely. leaving
enough slack to keep Buck from chok-
| ing prematurely. He fused minute
longer, with his lip curled into a grin
of sardonic humor. Then he crawIed
| back to the trunk of the tree and slid
down carefully so that he would not
brighten the pinto.
He went up and took the hobble off
Buck Olney's feet, felt in the seam of
his coat lapel and pulled out four pins,
with which he fastened Bucks ''pedi-
gree" between Bucks shrinking shout
derblades Then he stood off and sur
veyed his work critically before he
went over to Rather. who stood doing
in the sunshine.

TURNS THOUGHT TO RELIGION
Destruction by Shell of Statue That
Stood Somewhere in Galicia Re-
suited in Many Reproductions.

Yes, war does turn mems thoughts
to religion. Go to gay, immoral Buda-
pest. You find it today city of sober
people. You find in many of the shop
windows the reproduction of famous
statue that stood somewhere in Cali
cia," relates the Christian Herald.
1t was a large crucitix. A battle
pivoted around it. A shell struck the
statue, tore away the entire cross and
left the figure of the Christ standing
and unscathed. This event made a
tremendous impression upon the Hun
garians.
The story of it went through the
army like wildfire. At Budapest mini
allure statues, showing the destroyed
cross and the intact figure of the
Christ, were at once manufactured,
and put on sale. You can find them
now, expensive or cheap, in nearly
every Hungarian home.
The pity of it is that it seems to
take a war to make some people think
of these things.

Shoes Worn in Early Days.

High-heeled boots were worn by
ladies' for three parts of the eighteenth
century. They raised their fair wear
ers some inches, rendering walking
difficult and running impossible.
But these fashions were confined to
the rich. The poor wore shoes of
wood. reeds and untanned leather.
The Highlander made brogans out of
untanned deer hide, and the southern
nations wore cloth sandals and slip
pers. 1t was not until the year 1900
that an Englishman invented rights
and lefts previously both shoes were
shaped exactly alike. So far as we
can discover, the aboriginal tribes of
America never went barefooted. They
always made and wore moccasins, the
easiest shoe ever invented.

YANKS ON LEAVE
REvEL IN GARDEN
SPOT OF FRANCE.
Live in Splendid Hotels, See
the Sights in Automobiles
and Forget the Hard
ships Of War.

From the first landing Of General
Pershings Annex forces and their
fleets OF motor trucks and cars in
France there has ever been ques-
tion as to what to do with the Ameri-
can soldier boy on leave, on per-
mission on furlough," says Fran
els M Mansfield in an article in the
August issue of Motor, the national
magazine of motoring.
No other army in the present war
has had this problem on its hands,
for when a French, British or Ger
man soldier received his regular IVA
cation" or furlough, which amounts
to about eight days every four
months, he is simply transported to
his home and allowed to spend the
time with his family. But the Ameri-
can fighting in France is several times
eight days removed from his home,
SO the spending of furlough in the
bosom of his family is out of the
question. 1t was not deemed wise to
turn the boys loose for unrestricted
leave in Paris, so some other method
of handling the situation had to be
found.
THE American authorities, as is
their CUSTOM" continues Mr.. Mans
field, who writes from France, took
time by the forelock and whilst the
trees were still budding COM
mandeered whole historic touring
ground-Upper Savoie and the sum-
mer and winter twin capitals of Ak
les-Bains and Chambery each within
the ghostly shadow of Mount Blanc
and amid network of the finest
mountain roads in Europe"
And so our boys, during their rest
period, are turned loose in a huge
recreation ground comprising the
whole of the Aix-les-Bains, Cham
berry, Grenoble, Evian district. They
live in the splendid white marble
palace hotels at prices ranging from
$220 to $3.40 per day-about a
quarter of what the tourists used to
pay in those same hostelries. During
the day they roam this glorious dis
trict in motor vehicles of all classes,
indulge in base ball games, tennis,
golf or whatever appeals to them. At
night the Municipal Casino and Villa
des Fleurs run full blast with con-
certs, theatricals and movies, with
Sothern, Winthrop, Ames, Loie Full
Ter, Elsie Janis and scores of other
American entertainers helping to
make them believe temporarily that
they are back on dear old Broadway
or Michigan Boulevard or any other
street in America they care to re-
call.
So American mothers and fathers
need not worry that their boys are
getting into mischief during their brief
periods Of rest from the trenches.
They are having the time of their dear
young lives and it is all as clean and
wholesome as is vacation time in any
American resort.

Performance of Cadillac
AStonishes the ARMY Men

Letters of praise for the perform
ance of the Cadillac cars in service
with our army in France continue to
come from officers who have oppor-
tunity to observe the cars. Capt. Mel
willie Levy, ordnance detachment am
munition train, second division, writes
to the Cadillac company:
81 should like to tell you, in some
small way, what the Cadillac is doing
to help crush Prussian militarism
Truly, it is wonderful how these
master mechanical creations go along
hourly,-over shell-torn roads, over
fields mostly in the hands of mex
perienced drivers.
"They never go into the shops for
overhauling and very seldom for ad-
justments. Officers who use the
cars have the very highest praise for
them. l have talked with generals
who use them, and they are most en-
thusiastic. The drivers are delighted
with the privilege of caring for them.

A mighty host of French, English
Russian, Belgian and representatives
of innumerable other foreign nations
will invade Omaha early this morn

in the Northwestern freight yards
aboard three special trains, the poly
got collection will Immediately retire
to the base of action, an encampment
at Twentieth and Paul streets. Prep
arations will be made during the day
preparatory to a march on the down.
town district scheduled for Monday
forenoon.
The appearance of the Hagenbeck-
Wallace circus in Omaha today in an
ticipation of the two performances
and street parade tomorrow. will be
the first in three years. Just how the
show has grown and prospered dur
ing its absence may be noted by
visit to the circus grounds today or
by witnessing the spectacular street
parade Monday.
The Hagenbeck-Wallace circus was
organized in 1884 at Peru, Ind, by
B. E. Wallace. As a pioneer circus
one OF its hardest battles was to fight
unscrupulous competitors. Right
eventually won and from a modest
beginning with three small wagons
the show grew in the next four years
until it was one of the largest wagon
shows on the road, so large that in
1889 the circus began to travel upon
the railroads using Is cars. AS the
Great Wallace shows. the circus con-
tinued its growth until 1906. when
upwards of 50 double length railroad
cars were used to transport it from
city to city. At the conclusion Of the
worlds fair in St. Louis in 1904. the
collection of Carl Hagenbeck trained
wild animals, purchased abroad,
were placed on the road. After two
seasons as a 50-car circus the show
was sold to B. E. Wallace, who
formed the Hagenbeck-Wallace con-
solidation. After tweny-nine years in
the circus business Mr.. Wallace re-
tired in 1918 and disposed of his in
terests to Edward Ballard of French
Lick Springs, Ind, who had been as
sociated with him in other ventures.

BATTERY TIPS

Distilled water is more than likely
what your battery needs, says the bat
terry expert at the Omaha Battery and
Service company.
A storage battery contains about a
quart OF liquid, Of which about three
fourths is water.
As the water evaporates, the solu-
ton becomes stronger, which is
harmful, as is also the lowering of
the level. Evaporation in hot wealth
er is rapid. Atmospheric conditions
are not alone responsible for this.
Overcharging the battery is COM
mon in summer because days are
long and daylight pleasure tours are
frequent. Therefore, your electric
system is charging almost continu-
ously while the demand for current
either for starting or lighting is
small.
This is really putting more heat
into your battery than you take out
for electricity is heat. So again-add
distilled water.
At least once a week, in hot wealth
er, look after the needs of your bat
terry. You will find it needs water.
This viii be indicated by the lowered
level, which should be over the top of
the plates. A specific gravity read
ing (shown by hydrometer) of over
1880 degrees is another indication.
On long tours your system is put
ting considerable current into the
battery. So much that at times the
battery gets warm.
1t is a practice of some motorists to
relieve this stuffed condition by us
ing the lights even in the daytime.
The Vesta battery by its three big
patented improvements, indestruct-
ible isolators, impregnated mats and
the use OF titanium is extra fortified
against the strain of hot weather
conditions.
