Most of the roads in France were sur faced with crushed rock which is ter rife strain upon truck tire carrying four or i've tons of high explosives.
 "When we got mp close to the battle front the roads would be shell-pitted and about half the time we would have a few dozen trucks off the road down in the mud-flled shell holes. Then the driver would have to spin his wheels to get the giant back on the road, and here is where poorer quality truck tires would give up the ghost, and either roll of at the base or break to pieces.

.CANADA'S new
DEVELOPMENT
After the War a Period Of Pros
perity.

It is evident that the Government Of
the Dominion In Its programme OF re
construction and development is un-
dertaking work OF tremendous Inn
portance. There will be available the
labor for work that has been silent
since 1914, and the rehabilitation or
this labor-will entail the thought and
energy of most capable heads. The
transition period from war to peace
will be rapid and thorough, and. In
stead of Canada sinking into q state
of lethargy, there will be a continued
period of swakefulness that will give
employment to the unemployed. and
render to the capitalist and producer
ample return for his money, effort
and enterprise.
The agricultural potentialities Of
the great Canadian West possess Him
liable acres of the best of soil, capable
Of producing millions of bushels of
the best of grain. The cost of grow
ing this is lower. than any place on
the continent. There will be greater
demand than ever for these lands, the
consequent production will be heavier
and the profits attractive. Cattle
industry will he one of the chief de-
yelopments, and the encouragement Of
1t will lie in the continued high prices
that beef products will bring. Euro
pean countries have been depleted Of
cattle, and the demand for beef cattle
and dairy products will tax the Efforts
of the producer for years to come.
Western Canada offers unequaled
opportunities for development In this
line.
In the Canadian West plans are be-
ing laid for the development of cleo
trical power which can be produced
cheaply. There Is an abundance Of
coal and water power that could be
used in developing this useful energy.
What cheap power produced In this
way will mean to the farmer and de-
velopment of industrial enterprises
cannot be estimated Ia figures.
More extensive development OF the
water power at Niagara. on the st.
Lawrence and at waterfalls oil over
the country, is ready to be launched
Peace will see new mine fields
opened up, and it is equally certain
that shipbulding. railway equipment.
steel production, and many of the in
dustries will go forward with a
bound.
Canadian industries will be required
in the reconstruction of Europe, and
already the Canadian Government has
sent across the seas n commission for
the purpose Of securing orders. Cam
ada took an early and prominent part
in the war, and in the days of peace
will be found equally active, She feels
that by the valor and loyalty of her
people she has earned large share
of the business and prosperity that
will follow the war period, and she
proposes to get it.-Advertisement.

CHAPTER w.

And the years passed. and Mark
Wallace grew grayer and older. and
more set and dispirited, with long al
ternating intervals OF resignation,
when he took life as he found 1t and
was satisfied. But he always came
out Of these into brief periods of un-
rest, with the sense that he had awak-
ened from some lethargy that was
damning his soul as the alkali and the
winds Of the plains had scanned his
face and taken the last particle of his
youth away.
Now In Texas, now In Arizona, now
In some lonely border post In the
freezing Northwest. he remained cap
tain. He had no friends in Washing
ton. In time-in long time he would
reach his majority. no doubt, to be re-
lieved soon after. and waddle, with
stout old majors Of his own age, into
ornate clubs in army ceDters not quite
so far removed from civilization. He
looked upon this prospect with ironical
patience, and now and then asked
why he had remained in the army.
Eleanor was grown up and domiciled
permanently in Colonel Howard's town
house, and her letters had grown more
infrequent and perfunctory, until their
arrival became a quarterly affair in
stead of monthly event, and not al
ways that, either.
And by and by the feeling came
over Mark that II ever he were to see
her again there would remain no COM
mon link between them. From doubt
ing his future he had come to doubt
himself. He doubted whether the des.
ert life had not blunted him, blunted
his finer instincts, aud made him unfit
for social life-certainly rendered him
unfit for the guardianship of a young
girl.
But that he had relinqulshed to Col.
onel Howard-grudgingly but uncom-
promisingly. Never in any of his let.
ters did he put forward the shadow
of his former Claim.
Then, swiftly. AMI Unexpectedly,
chance turned and Oecxoned him.

"And then2" asked Mark In agita-
tion.
II remember nothing. / suppose the

Mark mumbled something to con-
ceai his agitation. "And do you re-

don't remember anything else," she
answered. Nothing until that dinner

eyes," answered Mark, miserably.
He had always wondered what the
child would be like. Howard's half
yearly letters had always assumed too
much for granted. Marx had practi-
cally relinquished Eleanor to the Ma
jor, and he had never learned anything
about her that he had really wanted to
know. He had not imagined the pre-
cocious. high-strung. idealistic girl
whom he now saw. He knew that the
disclosure of her fathers dishonOr, II
ever 1t came about, would shock her
into a revulsion Of feeling that would
be fatal to the true development Of
her character.
He had often wished that he had not
pressed that idea Of the regimental
mascot upon the major. 1t had been
born in a mind attuned to the victory
of t>at bloody day; In normal mo-
ments he would never have enter
tained it. Yet Major Howard had
been more impressed than he had ad-
mitted to Mark. The idea had
spread through the minds Of the other
officers. There was never Guard din
ner but Eleanor was solemnly toasted,
though she was not permitted to be
present. and somehow the child had
become symbol in the minds of these
plain men in business and professional
life who spent two weeks In camp
each year.
After the war Mark had gone to the
regulars; but he was still in touch
with the officers of the Seventieth, and
he knew that, II ever war came. he
could obtain an appointment to it.
II am sure that my father will prove
to have been a brave soldier" said
Eleanor, clasping her hands eagerly.

"And you've told Miss Harperf"
"No, Uncle Mark. She would think

shrewdly.
Mark could see that. but he was
certain that 1t was hysteria, that the
idea had come to the child as the re-
suit of broodlng over the mystery of
her parentage. The entrance Of the
lady principal put an end to their con-
versation. Mark rose reluctantly. His
visit had been oil too brief, and II
might be years before he saw the girl
again.
"well Eleanor. this Il au revoir,"
he said. Perhaps for years"
She looked at him in sudden alarm.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants fer Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
ected is because kidney trouble is 70 COM
mon TO the American people, and the large
majority Of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DIR. Kilmers Swamp Root il

its remai kable record of success.
