During much of the fighting from
October 8 to II and from II to 19,
difficulties of the terrain were very
great, with the country greatly brok-
en- by small patches of woods, aad
villages, with uneven terrain and
occasional large towns admirably
added to the machine gun defense
of which the Germans took every
advantage. The La Selle river with
high banks beyond was obstinately
defended. In spite of these difficult
ties the advance continued, often
without artillery support, and was
made posi- )le only by the determi-
nation of the men and the skillful
use Of all arms combined with clever
utilization of the diversified terrain.
The 3rd German naval division of
the crack German divisions was
hastily thrown in in an attempt to
stop the advance.
/ The division was then withdrawn
to the Heilly training area, near
Amiens, for replacements and well
earned rest; division headquarters

orders for an immediate return to

all the better in my ears because of
the mystery by which it's meanings
were partly hidden. / had many
questions to ask and she told me what
were fairies and silks and diamonds
and grand ladies and noble gentlemen.
We sat down to one of our familiar
dinners of salt pork and milk gravy
and apple pie now enriched by sweet
pickles and preserves and frosted
cake.
A query had entered my mind and
soon after we had begun eating
asked:
"Aunt Deel, what is the difference
between a boy and girl?'
There was a little silence in which
my aunt drew in her breath and ex-
claimed, 'W'y!" and turned very red
and covered her face with her nap
kin. Uncle Peabody laughed so loud
ly that the chickens began to cackle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunkelberg also covered
their faces. Aunt Deel rose and went
to the stove and showed the teapot
along, exclaiming:
Goodness gracious sakes alive!"
The tea stopped over on the stove.
Uncle Peabody laughed louder and
Mr.. Dunkelberg's face was purple.
Shep came running into the house
just as ran out of it. I had made
up my mind that ! had done some
thing worse than tipping over what
not. Thoroughly frightened 1 fled and
took refuge behind the ash-house,
where Sally found me. l knew Of
one thing would never do again. She
coaxed me into the grove where we
had another play spell.
I needed just that kind of thing,
and what a time it was for me! A
pleasant sadness comes when / think
of that day-it was SO long ago. AS
the Dunkelbergs left us I stood look
ing down the road on which they
were disappearing. That evening my
ears caught a note of sadness in the
voice of the katydids, and memory
began to play it's part with me. Best
of all / remembered the kisses and
the bright blue eyes and the soft curly
hair with the smell of roses in it.

My heart beat fast at thought Of
the legendary Dunkelbergs. Uncle
looked me over from top to toe.
"Heavens!" he exclaimed. SEQ down

l ran for the brook and before
had returned to my uncle I heard the
horn blow.
'"The Dunkelbergs THE Dunkel-
bergs! Come quick!" it seemed to
say.
Mr.. Dunkelberg was a big, broad
shouldered, solemn-looking man. Some
how his face reminded me of a lions
which l had seen in one of my pic
ture books. He had thick, long, out
standing mustache and side whiskers.
and deep-Set eyes and heavy eyebrows.
He stood for half a moment looking
down at me from great height with
his right hand in his pocket. heard
little jingle of coins down where
his hand was. It excited my curios-
ity. He took step toward me and
l retreated. I feared, a little, this
big, lion-like man. My fears left me
suddenly when he spoke in a small
squeaky voice that reminded me OF
the chirping of bird.
Little boy, come here and I will
make you a present." said he.
1t reminded me Of my disappoint-
ment when uncle tried to shoot his
gun at squirrel and only the cap
cracked.

A FAMILY ;.
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
Of this place, writes: 81 am a user
Of Thedford's Black-IGaught; in fact,
It was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when /
was child. When any Of us child
rem complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
q dose of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for 1t certainly has saved us lots Of
doctor bills. Just dose of Black
Draught when not so we'll saves
lot OF days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in USE for many years in the treat
ment Of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys Is proof Of its merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious.
ness, constipation, Indigestion, etc.,
and unless something is done. serious
trouble may result.
Tnedfords Black-Draught has been
found valuable remedy for these

acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels Of
impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed-

BOOK ONE
Which Is the Story of the Candle
land the Compass.
The Melon Harvest.
CHAPTER I.

Once upon a time owned water
melon. / say once because never did
it again. When I got through owning
that melon I never wanted another.
The time was 1881; was boy of
seven and the melon was the first of
all my harvests.
I didn't know much about myself
those days except the fact that my
name was Bart Baynes and, further,
that I was an orphan who owned a
watermelon and little spotted hen
and lived on Rattleroad in a neighbor-
hood called Lickitysplit. I lived with
my Aunt Deel and my Uncle Peabody
Baynes on farm. They were brother
and sister-he about thirty-eight and
she little beyond the far-distant goal
Of forty.
Ny father and mother died in a
scourge OF diphtheria that swept the
neighborhood when I was boy Of
Eve.
A few days after I arrived in the
home Of my aunt and uncle slyly en-
tered the parlor and climbed the what
not to examine some white flowers on
it's top shelf and tipped the whole
thing over, scattering its burden Of
albums, wax flowers and seashells
on the floor. My aunt came running
on her tiptoes and exclaimed: "Mercy |!
Come right out o. here this minute
you pest!"
took some rather long steps going
out, which were due to the fact that
Aunt Deel had hold of my hand. While
I sat weeping she went back into the
parlor and began to pick up things.
''My wreath my wreath I" / heard
her moaning.
How well remember that little as
semblage of flower ghosts in wax!
They had no more right to associate
with human beings than the ghosts Of
fable. Uncle Peabody used to call
them the 'Minervy f1owers'' because
they were a present from his Aunt
