Gen. Baron Fukushima. although one
of Japan's most notable military men,
received but scant notice in the Amer.
ican press on the occasion of his death
in Tokyo. He began life as a drum
mer boy, and in 1928 distinguished
himself by a trip he made on horse
back from Berlin to VladivOstok,
through Russia, Siberia, Mongolia and
Manchuria, a distance of 5000 miles.
From 1887 up to the time he started
on this famous trip he had been mill
tary attache in Berlin. General
Fukushima was in command of the
Japanese contingent in the war with
China until the fall of Tientsin, and
was general staff officer during the
Boxer troubles. He was staff officer
at headquarters of the Manchurian
army in the Russo-Japanese war in
1904-05. At different times he repre-
sented his country in China, India,
Egypt, Turkey, Persia, Caucasia,

Norma lifted her eyes to his face.
''Mr. Harding" she said tremulously.

pened a year ago was due to mis-
conception on my part. You were
misrepresented to me. and lit was

Infinite pathoS came into the face

beyond the veStry door that looked
into the church a strange suggestion
came to his mind.
1t seemed as though the entire
neighborhood had crowded to the
church to witness the marriage cere-
mony, mostly humble folks, to whom
such was a break on the mOnOtony of
their dull lives.
"They will be disappointed, spoke
Harding. Miss DallaS-Norma, do

SANG REQUIEM OF THE HUN
How the Cannon Reared During the
Glorious Offensive of the Forest
of Argonne.

1t was night in France and the great
ArgOnne offensive was on.
The section chiefs grew hoarse
shouting their commands, the gunner
cOrpOrals manipulated their sights
with speed and accuracy and the gun
crews eagerly put forth superhuman
effort in serving their pieces which
were being loaded and fired as quickly
az possible. The terrific detonations
shook the forest which actually seemed
like a live, thrObbing, burning monster,
who vOmited fire and flame, and roared
inhumanly with its terrible voice.
Every man in the four gun crews was
soon rendered temporarily deaf. Lit
up by the ghastly flashes from the fire
Of their own guns, they looked like
veritable devils, their faces cleaning
with fiendish joy as they leaped into
the pit to shift the gun trail or sprang
to the wheels, at which they tugged
and pulled with might and main. 1t
was exceedingly tresOme work for the
earnest lads. The rate of fire was so
rapid that it was necessary for them
to pause occasionally in order to per-
nit the intensely heated pieces to cool.
It presented a thrilling scene to see,
ir the dim light of the early dawn, a
stalwart lad, bareheaded, eyes heavy
and red from the burning powder gas,
his square jaws grimly set and shirt
open at the throat, his arms bare to the
elbows and black with grease, standing
out there, swabbing out the steaming
gun with the slender rammer. A
lanyard broke from too constant use
oil one of the guns. Not hesitating a
moment to repair it, the mo. 1" man
simply used his fingers to draw back
the Striker" A lad fell limp and ex-
hausted into the gun pit, but was
quickly pulled out of danger, where
he lay quite still and was undisturbed
by the terrible barrage. Another man
quickly took his comrades place.
SO the terrible fight continued. The
great iron orchestra played its terrible
symphony madly until ten O'Clock in
the morning, when the tired musicians
began one by one, to lay aside their
weary instruments, for the score they
had been playing had sent the Fritz
les scampering over the hills and far
away.

Where Foch Is Second.

Madame la Marechale FOch is COM
mander in chief in her own home. She
is said to be a French lady of quiet
and calm determination where the or
der and regularity of her household
are concerned. She dislikes being late
for luncheon, and she dislikes the
marshal being late for luncheon. For
tunately, the marshal dislikes it him
self. On one occasion, when after the
signing Of the armistice Foch was en-
gagged in prolonged conversation with
allied representatives and the hour for
luncheon had gone by, a message
came into the conference room to say
that Madame la MarechaIe could
wait no longer for lunch. 1t may have
been impatience on the part of Ma
dame la Marechale, or perhaps FOch
expected that message, according to a
possible little prearranged stratagem
between monsieur and madame. Need
less to say that, in times of great
pressure, madame makes no demur
when the rules OF her household are
just simply ignored.

THE TIMID MAN
BY JULIA A. ROBINSON.

Hiram Briggs wanted a wife He
wanted one badly, for he was living
alone, and he knew very little about
housekeeping, although he was a first
class farmer. He owned one Of the
best Of farms, horses, cattle and a fine
house, nicely furnished, and with every
modern imprOVement-everything, in
fact, was his except the one thing
needful, worthy helpmeet.
Hiram knew just the girl he want
ed to marry. He had long loved her
In secret, but was too bashful to pOp
the question. From his corner pew
In the church he watched her as she
sang in the choir, her sweet voice ris-
Ing above the others. Sometimes he
found courage to walk home with her,
but he always left her at the gate with
out the decisive word, but with a timid
glance Of love that Sally did not re-
sent. He would walk past her house
evenings, longing for bOIdness to go
up to the door and knock, then would
go back to his lonely home, to dream Of
her
Sally lived alone, and she was a good
hOusekeeper, bright and witty, and
the best Of company. There was ev-
cry reason why these two should join
forces, if only Hiram could have made
the first move. Sally would have been
perfectly wiIling-if Hiram would ask
her.
Sometimes it happens that circum-
stances favor the faint-hearted, and
circumstances helped Hiram at last.
He had been to town to buy grain and
was returning home just before sun
set. 1t was pleasant ride, and he let
Prince walk up the long hills while
he mused, thinking Of the wife he
would have some day. Yes, he would ask
Sally to marry him-he always said
1hat until he came face to face with
her, when his tongue refused to speak.
Her bright face would make the home
cheerful. 1t was a happy future that
he pictured, but he had seen that
picture many times with his minds
eye, and had come no nearer to the
realization OF 1t.
He had reached the top Of the hill
where he ALWAYS stopped for a rest,
for from this point Sally's house was
visible, a mile away Sometimes he
would see her in the dOoryard, and
she would wave to him, then he would
side on perfectly happy. Prince
stood still of his own accord. But as
Hiram looked across the fields he saw
something that made him start in fear.
Fire! Sally's house was burning!
Was she at home? Did she know?
The house stood by itself In a hOl-
low, far away from neighbors. Had
anyone seen the fire and come to help
her?
Hiram grasped the reins and
touched the whip to Princes back.
Never in all his life had the horse
Travelled so fast as he now flew over
that mile of country road
The house was nearly burned to the
ground when Hiram reached it. There
was Sally trying to put out the
dames and to save few of her cher
ished belongings, Juggling great buckets
of water from the cistern, with only
two small boys, who had been attract
nd by the smoke, to help her.
Jumping from the wagon, Hiram
mshed up to her and caught her in
