All units of the Three Hundred
Ninety-ninth infantry. a part of the

such casuals, since their units
would arrive home before these in

will be shipped home via England

the White Sea would make a quick
getaway possible.
The Three Hundred Thirty
ninth infantry. under command OF
Colonel George Stuart, was select
ed by General Pershing to go TO

Miss Thackeray. She was by no
means dressed as a chambermaid
should be, nor was she as dumb. On
the contrary, she confronted him in
the choicest raiment that her ward
robe contained, and she was bright and
CHEEKY and exceedingly incompetent
It was her costume that shocked him.
Not only was she attlred In a low
.necked, rose-colored evening gown, lib

non watches for Auto.

Does evolution in the life Of animals
cause them to take added care in go
ing across a street infested with au-
tos? Some folks says it does. Early
in the auto age numerous dogs were
killed because they would run out to
bark at an auto and, judging the speed
by that of a horse-drawn vehicle, they
often were run over.
This fact can still be noticed in some
country districts, where autos are not
plentiful. Close Students and lovers
Of dogs in the city say they have often
noticed dogs looking to the lett and
to the right before they start across
street. OF course, not all Of them
do, neither do ali human beings, but
the thinking" dog does. Watch it for
yourself.

facing the gaunt landlord.
"Good Lordl You startled me-" he
exclaimed. His gaze Travelled past the
tall figure of Putnam Jones and rested
on that of a second man, who leaned,
with legs crossed and arms folded,
against the porch post directly in front
of the entrance to the house, his fea-
lures almost wholly concealed by the
broad-brimmed SLOUGH hat that came
far down over his eyes. He, too, it

TRUE LOVE LAUGHS AT AGE
Shafts Of Father Time Poweriess 20
Affect Those Blessed With mutu-
al Affection.

Ordinarily. we would cuss to the lim-
1t a pepper" or an eavesdropper. But
we have a confession to make on the
first count, and we would plead miti-
eating circumstances. Here is the
story:
On drizzling, fOggy night, our way
lay down a side street toward home.
Several rods ahead there was a shaft
Of light and when we reached the spot
we found a window with the shade
halfway up. Wickedly. but not mali
ciously. we hesitated, stopped-and we
peeped.
There sat an old man and his wife.
They must have been well up to the
allotted three-score Of years. he was
smoking and she was knitting. Still
we peeped Then she looked up at him
and smiled and said something. He
laid down a book, struggled up from
out of his comfortable seat and kind
of hobbled out of the room, shortly
returning and carrying a glass Of wa
ter, which he handed to her.
And as she drank she held the
wrinkled and bony hand of her lover.
Then, as she finished drinking, she re-
leased his hand and the look she gave
him and the look he gave her were like
shafts Of sunshine breaking through
the murky clouds after days of rain.
That picture has haunted us long
time. Somehow she seems beautiful in
our eyes, and yet we did not get a
CLOSEUP" of her features. And he,
why as we keep thinking of him, we
bark back to the days when we once
visited a fine old Southern gentleman
who possessed the graces of Chester
field and the courtesy Of a Don Juan.
Then we recall the words of a poet
which fits the case precisely: LET
Time reach out with his sickle as far
as ever he can; although he can reach
ruddy cheeks and ripe lips and flash
ing eyes, he cannot quite reach love-"
When a man really loves a woman
she will never grow old, and when a
woman loves a man he is neither de-
Crepit nor bowed nor tremulous. She
is the same lass he woOed and he is
always the same gallant young fellow
who won her heart and her hand.
They are absolutely equals, happy and
free. These two lovers are travelling
toward the City of Silence, but they
are leaving behind picture never to
be forgotten.-Fremont Herald.
