y Too cold and too hungry to sleep,
Bowie sat looking into his dying
campfire, specializing on what still
might be ahead of him and his COM
panions. His thoughts reverted less
willingly to what he had left be-
hind: the acute agony of thirst, the
steady gnawing of hunger, the fiend-
ish heat of the desert, the killing of
the last pony for food. go
d But at least the horror of this was
behind him. The mountains could
not be worse; they might be better.
The sky was overcast and the
night air, drifting silently down from
the higher Sierras, chilled him to
the bone. On the other side of the
campfire embers, stretched asleep
on the rocky ground, lay a lanky
Misseurian, the scout, Ben Parda-
loe, with his feet so close to the
fire that it seemed as If they might
blaze up any minute. His sleep was
fitful, like that of fanished man,
unlike his normal sleep with which
Bowie, after three weeks of hard
camp life, had grown too familiar.

and turned, drew up his legs and
thrust them desperately out again.

presently reused Bowie from trou-
bled sleep. He started off to find
kindling chips.
Later, while he was stumbling
along in the faint light of dawn,
feeling here and there as his feet
kicked into fragments of bark and
rotten branches fallen from trees,
he became aware of an object dis
family silhouetted against the eastern
horizon. Noiselessly he sank fiat to
the ground to look and listen. He
thought the thing might be alive.
Some moments passed before he
could determine. Luckily he had it
between him and the light. Patience
and the rapidly growing dawn re-
warded his vision. He was able to
see the object more clearly. Nor
was he long in identifying with it a
pair of antlers. Caution was nee
essary. The Adventures were
starved men. They had not tasted
meat for ten days nor food for more
than three days; that buck meant
relief from hunger pangs. -.

Better Instincts

Every once in a while some per-
son appeals to the better instincts
in seemingly incorrigible and
wicked people. Usually he meets
with pleasant surprise. Isn't it a
peculiar thing that so few people
learn from the successes of those
who trust others to do the right
thing?

are, after all, only 100000 in

at least go per cent are women and
children, the aged, or unfit.
1t Is not only probable, but likely,
that the time will come when those
British who frankly admit that
they hope the United States will
come into the war will also admit
that American men are still needed
To date, most outspoken people have
said that if the United States
entered the war it would be only
a question of the American Navy
and increased production.
There is no longer doubt in the
minds of any informed people here
but that the United States pro-
duction can only reach the heights
necessary to supply both Britain
and the United States when the
United States has declared war
at least, that is their view. They
also fail to see how the problem
of shipping-Which is the most seri-

be solved without the lifting of the
neutrality ban on American shipping.

probable that the British that night
had night fighters up.
During daylight on Friday south
coast observers reported heavy
British bombardment of the French

bombardment was kept up for one
solid hour and then internationally.

Cite Threat of Invasion.
From which one might draw the
conclusion that the Germans have
not abandoned the idea of invasion
and one might go so far as to say
that they even had an idea of trying
it last week. OF course, British Off
Gals have nothing to say on the
subject. But it was interesting that
many ministers last week referred
again, after lapse of many weeks,
to the ever-present menace of inva-
sion.
Tuesday, in Parliament, War
Minister Anthony Eden said: THE
danger of invasion is not over.
German armies are still there
massed in Channel ports and in
Flanders"
Meanwhile. the British Army,
which suffered such losses of
material and equipment in Elan
derS, has been re-equipped and has
undergone the most intensive train
ing. And the home guards, which
were for a long time the butt Of
every joke, are now recognized to
be an exceedingly fine military
organization. 1t has been put under
Mai Gen Eastwood and is to have
regular officers from its own ranks.
In other words. it has become a
special home defense army as the
territorial was supposed to be be-
fore the war.
Offensives in Prospect.
Whereas. several months ago, it
was generally wondered how Britain
could use an army of the size which
has been built up through con-
scription and the formation of the
home guards, while cooped up in
this small island, there is little
questioning along these lines now.
Britain is looking to, and thinking
in terms of. an offensive in at least
two parts of the world.
What now occurs TO experts is the
question whether or not Britain will
not actually be short of man power

 The reasons for the appeal number five. The first was that the de- ceased at the date Of the execution Of the document, June 28, 1899, was of unsound mind and memory and had not sufficient testamentary ca- pacity to make such a will.
 Second, that the deceased for a long time prior to June 28, had been III and afflicted with periods of de- pression.
 Third, that the deceased at that time was subject to hallucinations against certain persons and these delusions so affected his mental ca- paclty, that he was not able to un. derstand the business in which he was engaged when he executed the will,
 Fourth, that on June 28, the de- ceased was patient at St. Marys Hospital. He had complete mental Arrangement and due to this opera ton he was not of sound mind.
 Fifth, that the will executed by the deceased was made under the influence of Honora Sheehy, also known as Agnes Sheehy, and as e result of her influence, the will was not the free expression of the in- tent of the deceased.
