with the fact that by the next night

we could observe the progress OF the

Overhead the stars were shining in

Down at the foot. of the hill the In
fantry were waiting. Behind US men
sat expectantly at their guns. In the
rear the heavies and the howitzers,
too. were waiting. Across the val
ley tho enemy was sleeping. The
illuminated dials of our watches
seemed unusually brilliant. They
were ticking OF the last minutes of
what was to be many a mans last
hour. Slowly the hands turned
around.
Five minutes OF zero and yet all
was strangely still. Nowhere along
our sector could we hear the report
Of 4 gun; nowhere was there a sound
to indicate battle was imminent.
Around and around crept the second
hand, and then there came the signal

THE next night the infantry came

Maryland, formerly composing part
of the National Guard of that state.
They had been In the drive at Mont
faucon and were really veterans.
They took their position at the foot
Of the hin on which we had placed

armies Of the Austrians and the Ger

done for four years past, sending
over their dozen shells promptly at

Throughout the night every one
worked with feverish activity. Am
munition was assorted and piled be-
hind each gun, firing data prepared,
and orders checked and rechecked.
Our orders which informed US of our

line which the enemy had left.
AS our fire lessened. that of the
enemy increased. and the guns which
for months had sent over their dozen
twice a day now poured an increased
allotment into our position. They fell
about our observation post. raining
hunks of sticky mud on our metal
helmets and shrugged shoulders. In
the rear one struck a mess line, kill

wounding a score. From that time on
there were no more mess lines.

There was no reply to this. In
the silence she could distinctly hear
the bit as it worked its way through
the outer wall.
Jim, did you hear what he said?'
Il heard" he said sullenly.
The plan had been his. He had
thought it out when the horse had
gone lame and he had had to work
his roundabout way back home
through the commencing storm. But
the execution was hers, and the work
was well done.
Beside the range there had been a
small unlighted closet, with a fiat
wooden door that fitted close without
a frame. Long ago the door had been
papered to match the kitchen. 1t had
been the work Of only a few moments
to take of the lock. After that he
had gone inside and drawn the door
to behind him, shutting out from her

He kissed her solemnly as she half
lay in his arms and went toward the
door.
Good bye and God bless YOU" he
said. And kiss tho"
He choked up at that and made his
way out through the drifts on the
porch to the little yard.
She closed the door and fastened it
behind him. Then very carefully she
unlocked the parler door and opened
it. Cooper was still in his chair, sunk
a little lower perhaps and breathing
heav1ly, the overturned teacup on the
floor beside him.
She went back to the kitchen and
filled fresh bottle for the baby.

for her presence. With it on the

Forestry Educat: c1al Work.

The purpose Of New York State
to do its full duty in the matter of
timber conservation is indicated by
plans outlined by the State Forestry
Association for a campaign in which
one thousand citizens. representing
every part of the Empire State, will
have a part.
The State Forestry Association is
the organization of which THEODORE
ROOSEVELT was chairman in 1885,
when the first meeting ever held by a
State forestry association in this
country took place. 1t was as a
member of this body that Colonel
ROOSEVELT began his active public
career as a conservationist. Since
that time much constructive work
has been done and the same spirit
animating the original association is
inspiring the efforts of to-day.
In the belief that every branch Of
business is concerned in the timber
supply of the State recruits will be
sought widely to carry out program
which calls for the fuller develop
ment of the system of fire protection
now in force; reform in the matter
Of forest taxation, for which the asso-
citation has fought hard for five
years; land surveys, which will in
clude an analysis of soils; protection
Of fish and game and the water sup
ply Of the State, and the promo
tion Of public health and recreation
through the use OF State parks and
reservations.
1t IS a large undertaking, but its
promoters, who include the best men
in the State Conservation Service and
many earnest workers outside that
service, believe they will carry it
through successfully. Among the
bodies actively interested in the work
are the Conservation Commission,
the State Agricultural College at Cor
nell University, the Empire State
Forest Products Association, the
State College OF Forestry, the Ameri-
can Game Protective Association and
the Campfire Club Of America.
The most modern methods will be
employed to arouse interest in the
matter and to promote the objects of
the campaign. Moving pictures, noon
day speakers, posters and instructive
literature will all be utilized in
movement which gives promise Of
producing permanent benefits.

Salvaging an Ancient Wreck.

Gambling on the chances OF finding
bullion in sunken ships is a mari
time adventure that now appeals to
many Englishmen. The ships sunk
around the British Isles by German
submarines in the world war are
commonly the incentive to the game.
But one syndicate has been formed
recently that is risking it's capital
on the chance Of salvaging a hull
sunk in Tobermory harbor, Scotland,
334 years ago.
This is the hulk Of one OF the gal
icons OF the Spanish Armada, which,
after the victory of the British on
July 20, 1883, fed north about as
English naval writers call the pas
sage around the Orkneys, only to
be dashed to pieces or sunk on the
coast.
The men who would recover her
treasure have already assembled a
considerable part of their salvage
plant in Tobermory harbor and are
preparing TO take advantage of spring
tidal conditions in their work. There
are from ten to fourteen fathoms OF
water over the spot whore. thirty
