CHAPTER xlII-continued.

Suddenly the German uttered chok-
ing cry and dropped. blood squirting
from his throat, where chance bullet
had found him. As he fell, Mark pre-
cipitated himself upon him and lay
flat on the ground.
The firing died away. Captain
Mark began to crawl back toward the
parapet of his lines. A whispered chal-
Ienge, an answer. and he had scaled
the sandbags and descended into the
: nud of the trench, to find the firing
posts crowded and himself facing Kel-
lerman and the company captain.
Inwardly boiling. he stood still. 1t
was too dark to see the expression on
Kellerman's face, but he could imagine
the sneering grin that disfigured it.

"The man you sent me to bring in
was dead. He had been there for
days"
Where are your companions?" de-
nanded Kellerman.

And your stretcher?" asked Keller

wish me to go back for it, sir?'
This man is lying" said Kelierman
tr the Captain calmly "He abandoned
ms companions and ran away. He lost
his stretcher. Put him under arrest"
The Captain beckoned to the pla-
toon sergeant, who came forward.
I'D like to say one thing" said
Mark. striving to keep his voice steady.
1--WE three We're sent out to bring in
IL dead man, who had been dead for
days-anyone here will bear me out in
this. Was any man wounded tonight?
There, was only one body in this sec
ton"
"Cut it out ~ said the sergeant, lay
ing his hand on Marks shoulder.
But Mark swung clear of him and
turned and faced Kellerman again.
"You sent me out tonight to put me
out of the way!' he cried, losing all
self-control. For reasons that you
know. and 1 know, you wanted me
dead, and you We're willing to send two
others to their death also. You lied
to me to put me Off my guard, d--n
you, you treacherous dog! And here's
the blow you gave, back again!"
He struck Kellerman a buffet that
sent him reeling back against the par
apet.

The three officers who had brought
in their verdict, and the fourth, of
high rank, who had passed the SEN

of the little headquarters village house.

And, after all, he might have been

II don't see that. The blow was
worse than the cowardice. A new
hand between the lines at night, his
first night-Kellerman shouldn't have
sent him"
Il don't follow you there. Kellerman
had known the man in the U. S. and
wanted to give him a chance to redeem
himself"
At nightfall Mark was sitting in his
cell. He had eaten. he had composed

the traditions of his caste and race /;
but he could not meet 1t calmly. He

faction of duty honorably done. And
he could not compose himself.
Suddenly he heard the outer gate of
the prison click; then came the sound
of voices, footsteps, woman's swiSh-
ing skirts; Eleanor and Colonel How
ard stood at the barred entrance with
the guard.
Mark rose from his bed and stood
staring at them; he could hardly be-
lieve them real. The guard unlocked
the door of the cell. Eleanor shrank
back against the corner of the ma
sonry. her kerchief to her lip. her face
chalky white. Suddenly she started
forward. The Colonel whispered a
word. she brushed him aside as If she
had not heard him. Her arms sought

all mapped and plotted. and the Ger
mans We're bent on its systematic de-
struction.
Mark stood by Eleanor IN irresolu-
ton, curslng his fate. He did not know
what to do. He could not leave her:
and yet he felt a burning impulse to
play some part in affairs. His eve,
trained by long years of practice. took
In the tactical situation ut a glance.
The Germans must have made prodI-
gious thrust in the night, bursting
through the center; the reserves, still
rushing over the fields, We're trying to
fill and hold the gap. And the little
Headquarters village was the key to
the whole battlefield.
Wounded men came streaming down
the street. followed by the merciless
shells. The aeroplane above was still
| circling like II hawk; It seemed In
credible that no aeroplane attacked II.
And 1t was quite clear to Mark that
only treachery, calculated and long
planned, could have brought about the
situation.
| For the Germans must have ad-
vanced four miles since nightfall.
| Help win come" Mark repeated;
and suddenly, even above the drumfire,
he could hear the sounds of cheering.
And, topping the ridge that ran before
the village, there came a swarm of
/ gray green figures, .hrusting back the
thin. scattered line that held IT. The
/ bullets were whlrring overhead, audi
BILE, and like a swarm of bees. Clouds
of dust rose up and hid the battle.
Eleanor clutching Marks arm, stood
tense beside him; Mark saw that she
understood, and the two held their
breath as the dust clouds eddled along
the ridge.
Suddenly they dissolved, and the at
tacking swarm poured like great food
into the village. 1t looked as IL all
were lost.
But an instant later Mark saw n lit
tie company of Americans thrust out IL
Maxim gun from behind wall, where
they had hidden 1t. The gunner took
his seat, and, just as the ranks were
closing in on him, swept the street
from side to side. The ranks recoiled
and fell. body piling on body. Then, as
torrent forces its way through the
ice-crust of n river, the attackers over
whelmed the Maxim section and swept
into the streets.
And, as torrent meets torrent. with
a surge and rush n body of American
troops swept forward to meet them.
The battle was all about them. Every
house was a fortress, every mound of
bricks rallying point. Mark raised
the half-conscious Colonel in his arms
and drew him into the shelter of lit
tie hollow in the brick wall. He beck
oned to Eleanor TO crouch down beside
him. There they were safe from flying
bullets, and might hope to pass unno-
ticed. He still hesitated, when II body
of Germans rushed, shouting, past him,
upon troop of Americans who came
round shattered corner, led by n
young officer carrying bloody sword.
1t was quick and short .bayonet work.
Mark saw the blades flash, heard the
painting gasps of the tbrusters and the
moans of the wounded. He saw the
young officer stagger and fall, a bayo-
net through his shoulder. The sword
fell from his hand. Before the German
could withdraw his weapon Mark had
snatched up the sword and with a
mighty blow, cloven the Germans arm
from his body.

CHAPTER XIV.


When he slowly grew conscious 1t
was with the glad realization that he
had found her. He felt her hands,
supple and warm, binding n bandage
round his arm. He opened his eyes to
see her face bent over his. And it was
dawn.
Vague cries rang in his ears distant
cries, blending. surging, swelling and
dying down, but never ceasing. The
rattle of small-arms was continuous,
and punctuated by the loud timbre of
guns.
He was lying amid heap of debris
that had been the village Jail. Not far
away he saw the Colonel sitting with
eyes closed, propped up against the
fragments of a wall, blood-stained
bandage round his head.

badly hurt. l saw the Red Cross wag-
on pass and cried, but they could not
hear me-"
All round them the guns were boom
ing, all round them they saw khaki
fields, and yet the village seemed de-
serted. They were alone in little
oasis of calm amid the tumult.
"What are we to dor cried the girl.
"Can you walk? Try to stand ON your
feet. Let me help you. We must get
the Colonel somewhere"
The question on Marks lips died
away as there came the howl of
heavy SHE'LL followed by a stunning i'm
pact. a column of broken bricks spout
ed into the air at the end of the street,
dissolving into n cloud of dust. An in
terval, and again there came a missile
from the monster gun. A house in the
next street went down like cardboard.
II was the threatened attack on the
American lines. The enemy was in
force somewhere across the fields, the
reserves We're rushing up to repel them.
Mark staggered to his feet and found
that he could stand. His arm ached
under the bandnge, but 1t was not
broken. Probably splinter had struck
him. He made his way toward the
Colonel, who eyed him vacantly as he
approached.

'Tll take you both, sir. This can't

Mark put his hands beneath the Colo
nel's arms and tried to lift him.
AS the Colonel tried to stand he col
lapsed forward in Marks arms. He
looked at Mark piteously.
''Take her and leave me-" he whis-
pered. "And listen to me, Mark. She
cares for you. All will come right, If
can keep my worthless carcass alive
until I've seen the General. But
never counted on being done up like
this"
There were tears In the old mans
eyes. "Forgive me, my boy" he NUT
tered. and fell into unconsciousness.
Mark set him down against the wall
again. 1t was impossible to move him,

A Good lauuh.

A good laugh" Is not quite the same
thing as hearty laugh. Occasionally
you may have seen young people con-
vulsed with laughter over something
that meant suffering and disaster to
another. Many laugh has been raised
by an unclean suggestion. But 1t is
good laugh" that has no hint of I'M

MOURNERS
HAVE OWN HOTEL

PARASITIC first hotel In France,
reserved exclusively for American
fathers and mothers who have crossed
the ocean to visit the graves Of their
dead, will be opened at Romagne,
where is located the largest American
military cemetery in France. Here
sleep more than 1880 American
boys who laid down their lives in the
war.
Now that passport restrictions are
being lifted, many American parents
are coming to France every day 10
visit the graves of the American sol
diers. Some mothers come alone.
and not knowing French customs and
language, suffer many discomforts
finding the way to their boys grave.
Many wish to remain a day or two at
the cemeteries, which are some dis
lance from the nearest towns, but un-
til now there have been no accommo-
dations.
Similar hotels will be established
later at other American cemeteries.
The second one will probably be
placed at St. Quentin.
After ROMANCE the next largest
cemetery Is the n at Thiaucourt,
with 1900 graves. Among the other
l r. American cemeteries are:
Beaumont, $50 graves; Fismes, 1900
graves; Ploisy. 1885 graves; Juvig-
ny, 416 graves; Fera-en-Tardenois
$500 graves; Belleau, $500 graves;
Bony, 1900 graves, and Villiers-
Tournelle, 400 graves.

DEMAND FOR RABBIT SKINS

In recent years several kinds of
fur, formerly of SO little value as to
offer no inducement to the trapper,
have been raised in price, and conse-
quently collecting them has b n
made profitable. Rabbit pelts. which
are extensively used by hat makers.
are among these products. One east
ern concern has announced that il
will need 100000 rabbit skins
during 1919 and 1920, and it desires
as far as possible to secure them
from American sources. This Is an
indication of a market which should
interest many a farmer boy. This
Fall and Winter dried, cased rabbit
skins will probably bring a reason
ably good return. They are sold by
the pound which will contain seven
or eight skins. Many farm boys can
readily acquire. in the course of the
Winter, large numbers of skins which
will net them a tidy sum and, in ad-
dition, they will have the pleasure of
trapping experience. The United
States Department OF Agriculture will
supply any inquirer with the names
and addresses of possible purchasers
of rabbit skins and other pelts.

NEW SHELTER PROCESS
PROPOSED FOR NEVADA

J.. E. Kearns, a brother Of the late
Senator Thomas Kearns Of Utah, has
recently returned to Reno after a
tour of Nevada during which he Wis
tied seven different mining camps
that have a world of base pres which
either cannot be treated by the usual
processes or Is too low In grade to
stand the high freight rates, treat
ment charges and penalties Of the
shelters. Mr.. Kearns Is the author
lied agent Of the General Reduction
and Chemical Co., Of Salt Lake City
which company has a plant that
they claim is successfully treating
such ores-and his survey of Nevada
was with the idea of later erecting a
reduction plant using this process at
the most advantageous point In the
State.
The General Reduction and Chem
ical Co. does not ask-as the pro-
moters of new reduction processes so
frequently do-the mine owners to
build their own plants and take a
chance that the process will be sue
cessful. On the contrary, they offer
to build their own plants and buy
the pres outright. II the claims Of
the inventor of the new process, DR..
Geo. e. Kingsley, and his associate,
Dvof n Themes racouflv nf tha
Utah Agricultural College, are cor
rect, they can pay full value for all
the metals which the smelters saved
and still make more money owing to
the fact that this process saves all
the metals in the ores and will mar
ket the by-products.

pany's proposed products: White
lead, chrome yellow. red lead, lead
nitrate, lead arsenate, zinc oxide, zinc
sulphate. copper sulphate. copper nj

raw materials for nearly all the above
products and the making Of q mar

DAYTON GOLD DREDGE
WORK BEING RUSHED

The work of excavating for the big
gold dredge that is to start opera
lions in Gold canyon, above Dayton.
Lyon county, is well under way and
should weather conditions remain
favorable the pond will be completed
within a few weeks. This calls for a
reservoir se~venty-five feet wide and
100 feet long and must contain eight
feet of water as the minimum. The
work is practically 70 per cent fin
ished.
Material for the dredge is expected
during the Winter and 1t Is figured
that four months will be required to
erect the barge and place the machin
cry. One casting Weighing eighteen
tons is on the way. Some delay in
the shipments and securing Of mach
inery has delayed action to a certain
extent. With favorable conditions
the dredger will be In action early
next Spring.
The testing of this ground, where
the first gold was discovered in Ne
vada. has ben completed. Payments
for the property have been made by
the Buckley Wells syndicate and all
material ordered for the work of
turning several hundred acres of Ne
vada's territory upside down.
