'<**• '*k* t CHAPTER XIII--Continue* --13-- His cannon could do us no great barm now. for we were on our faces, nnd In an Instant we could turn Into a huddle, of bayonets if his horse came down a pain. But behind the«thnnder of the puns there aros0 a sharper, shriller noise, whirring and rattling, the wildest, launtiest, most stirring kind of sound. "It's the pas-de-charg^F* cried an officer. "They mean business this time." / , And as be spoke wo saw a strange thing. A Frenchman, dressed as an officer of hussars, came galloping toward us on a little bay horse. He [ was screeching "Vive le Rqi! Vire le Roi!" at the pitch of his lungs, which was as much as to say that he was • deserter, sfhee we were for the'klng and they /or the emperor. As he mssed us he roared out In English: *®The Guard Is coming! The Guard Is coming!" and so vanished away to the rear like a leaf blown before a storm. At the same instant up there that mpd five minutes. I remember putting my musket against a blue-coat, and pulling the trigger, and that the man could not fall, because be was so wedged in the crowd; but I saw a horrid blotch upon the cloth, and a thin curl jot- sinoke from It, as If it had taken fire. Then I found myself thrown up against two big Frenchmen, and so squeezed together, the three of us, that we could not raise a weapon. One of them, a fellow with a very large nose, got bis hand up to my thront. and I felt that I was a chicken In his grasp. "Rendezvous, coquin, rendez-vous!" said he, and then suddenly doubled up with a screnm, for some one had stnbbed him in the bowels with a bayonet. There was very little firing after the first Sputter, but there was the crash of butt against barrel, the short cries of stricken men, nnd the roaring of the officers. And then, suddenly, they began to give cround. slowly, sullenly, step by step, but still to give ground. Ah, It was worth nil we had gone through, the thrill of that moment, when we felt rode an aide-de-camp with the reddest I that they were going to break. There face that ever I saw upon mortal man. was one Frenchman •'before me, a "Yon must stop 'em, or we are sharp-faced, dark-eyed man, who was dome." be cried to General Adams, so loading and firing as quietly as If he that all oar company could hear him. were at practice, dwelling upon his -How la It going?" asked the gen-1 aim. and looking round first to try and eraL I pick off an officer.

There was little of It to be seem now, only the red belching of the guns fell, and, two others tumbling over me, I was half smothered in the heap. When at last I struggled out and cleared my eyes, which were full of powder, I saw that the column had fairly broken, and was shredding into groups of men who wefe either running for their lives, or fighting back to back, in a vain attempt to check the brigade, which was still sweeping onward. My face felt as if a red-hot iron had been laid flashing qnicklv out of .he cloud-bank, I across ^it , but .I had the. . use, of my . • IJimns so lumping over the lliAtt. er o,f .od lb* Mnct fipm*. , scampered devils and at devilish worlk . nB„nt!

It was at that moment that we heard a noise of cheering behind pencils "Wake up, laddie,*' said the major, quite in his old, W fashion, as If we were back on Oerrtemulr again. "Tea, major," I stammered. **I want yon to come with me. I fert that I owe something to you two lada. for It was I that took you from your homos. Jim Horscroft is missing." I gave a start at that, for. what with the rush and the hunger and the weariness, I had never given a thought to ray friend since the time he had rushed at the French Guards with the whole regiment at his heels. "I am going out to take a tally of our losses,' said the major, "and If yon care to come with me I shall be very glad to have yon." ^ So ofT we set, the major, the two sergeants. and I. and, oh! bat It wns a dreadful, dreadful sight--so much so that even now, after so many years, I had rather say as little of It as possible. It was bad to see In the heat of the fight, but now. In the cold morning, with no cheer or drum-tap or bugle blare, all the glory had gone out of it, and it was just one huge butcher's shop, where poor devils had been ripped and burst and smashed, as though we had tried to make a mock of God's Image. There on the ground one could read every stage of yesterday's fight, the dead footmen that lay In squares, and the fringe of dead horsemen that had charged them, and above, on the slope, the dead gunners who lay round their broken pieces. The Guard's column had left a streak right up the field like the trail of a snail, and at the head of It the blue-coats were lying heaped npon the red ones, where that fierce tug had been, beforo they took their backward step. And the very first thing I saw. when I got there, was Jim himself. He was lying on the broad of his back, his face turned up toward the sky, and all the passion and the trouble seemed to have passed clean away from him, so that he looked Just like the old Jim as I had seen him in his cot a hundred times when we were schoolmates together. I had given a cry of grief at the sight of him, but when I came again to look upon his face, and to see how mach happier he looked in death than I could ever have hoped to see him in life, it was hard to mourn for him. Two French bayonets had passed through his chest, and he had died In an^ Instant and without pain, if one conld believe the smile upon his Hps. (TO BB CONTINUED.) PECULIAR KIND OF UMBRELLA African "Bishop" Made Use of Prince Albert Coat When Rain Threatened Precious Loincloth. "The Bishop" ls like no other African. He has acquired the graces of the court of St. James and a surprising gift of repartee, using smiles and grunts chiefly. He* is taller and older than any native In the neighborhood, which Is the locality suburban to Vavati. Portuguese East. For years he has trekked with missionaries. He has carried their packs, bundled their beds and mosquito netting over miles of trail. His name was chosen by himself, In memory of Bishop Hartzell, with whom he traveled. Yet the bishop is still a heathen-- and proud of It. Among the other Africans In any given traveling party he Is as conscious of his heathen distinction as Tom Sawyer's friend Jim was of his reputation for having seen evil spirits. On a recent expedition a missionary saw the bishop for the first time and was particularly struck with the bishop's pride In his loincloth, a well-tallored trifle fashioned from monkey skin and built around a large brass ring! It began to rain. The bishop looked solicitously at the garmentmuch as a lady caught nmbrellaless will look at her new spring suit when rain comes. The bishop had no umbrella, but from somewhere he produced a Prince Albert coat and buttoned it tightly about him. It served Its purpose. The new loincloth Mcapad unscathed.--World Outlook.

Portland, Ore.--In these days of profiteering and wild scrambles for the almighty dollar, It is a consolation to find one man in the world who is not money mad and who is working nnd has been working assiduously for the last five years all for an Ideal and with no ukerlor thought of pecuniary gain spurring him on. The remarkable part of it Is that this artist, for he Is an artist of the highest type, Is a full-blooded American Indian chief. He answers to the name of WMHam Shelton, and wheu not busy perfecting his life* work, a monstrous and skyscraping totem pole upon which Is inscribed the history Of the Snohomish tribe, he supervises the running of the Indian reservation school at Tulallp. Although Sheltbn Is well educated and thoroughly familiar with the world of business, he prefers to devote his time and attention toward the fulfillment of an ideal. Generations ago Indians lost the art of totem carving, and be Is the only known totem pole?maker In the world today. Five Years Consumed.. To-date Shelton has worked during his spare time more than five yecrs on the gigantic post. Tfols work has Deen accomplished aside from his duties as head of the reservation school. Early every morning before he beg'ns the duties of directing the functions of the schools he ls at work dn his historic pole. At the close of the school session each day finds him again hard at work with chisel and mallet. It call be seen therefore that all of the many hours he has devoted to his pet project might be termed overtime. When finished the pole will stand more than 100 feet In height and will measure nearly seven feet In diameter. It has been selected from the greatest of the bl^ cedars which grow on the reservation at Tulallp. When the work Is completed the pole will stand in front of the school for the tribe, where for generations to come It will keep "fresh their hereditary history. "One of the principal reasons for my devoting so many years to the making of this gigantic history pole," said Shelton recently, "is to shatter the persistent belief among so many Americans as well as others that the totem pole originally had for its purpose maimy the Idea of worship. I'll make a wager that two out of every three white persons who view totem poles in parks, or who go to visit the gigantic pole at Seattle, Wash., have the idea that the pole at one time was worshiped by some Indian jtribe. Pole Only Historical. "Such Is not the case. The totem pole Is nothing more nor less than a history done In wood carving. Those persons who are writing or who will write the history of the recent great conflict in Europe are, In the eyes of many Indians, In reality totem pole makers, in short, a totem pole maker Is ar historian. Thi^ historians of the war will for years keep alive for future generations, the story of the rise and fall of the much-despised kaiser, of the rape of Belgium, of the <H>ming of the Tanks, of the battles of ttM ' i ' -- . . v Marne, the Somme, the Argonne and of the armistice and the peace table. For centuries to come people will read about those great twentieth century events from the printed pages of nrnny oooks. Totem poles are In reality ftadlaa books, and the marks and curious carvings upon them take the place of the printed words In the white man's books and are quite as readily translated by the Indians of the tribe to which the pole belongs." Shelton Is filled with enthusiasm about his work, the enthusiasm of a t]eal artist. His face lights tip at the opportunity to talk of his work, nnd his black eyes flash. He Is about forty-five years old and In full Indian regalia he looks as If he might have just stepped from the printed pages of wild western fiction. In his store clothes, however, although, he would not be mistaken for othejc than a red-; too I ai that won him vernment. lie proved hlmsetf-foV** Lti.

WIVES ALSO DISSATISFIED Lower Wages and Lack of Modsrn Dwellings Bring Longing for America-- Food in Country District* Higher Than in Cities. Borne.--All over Italy, In villages and towns, there are hundreds of Italo-American ex-soldiers longing to get back to the United States, and only waiting until the vendemnla, or harvesting of the grapes, is over. How they came to return to their native land when they loved America. American cities and American ways Is through one of the mistaken ideas of many ex-soldiers,' >fho imagined that once war was over they would be happy in Italy, although they had fought In France under General Pershing and had lived and made good money in America for many years. When the armistice came and these Italo-Americans were given a chance of being demobilized' In France they jumped at It, because at that time there was a rumor that fabulous prices were being paid to workmen In Italy. This fairy tale was true at that time, as the government had still in operation her ammunition factories. and. of course, wages were kdpt at a high level, but, as the wages of farmhands and workmen of All sorts had also increased, the cost of living had increased more than three times in price compared to pre-war schedules. » Impulsively they sent for their fam-i illes, who very often had to sell ail they owned in order to pay for the steamship ticket to Italy.' Then many families settled down to live with the parents of the husband or wife, and after a short while suffered a great disillusion, as things were not what they had imagined. While they had been away from their native land iheiy had thought of It as picturesque and beautiful, with an Ideal climate nnd congenial conditions. They forgot Hie discomforts of the old home wtrh Its lack of running water anrt modem Improvements which' these Italo-American* had grown accustomed to Tn the new land of freedom. The husband could put np with It. bat the wives could not, as In many villages--Tn fact. In nearly alt those pf Central Italy--the water must be> carried from the village fountain. Whenever any washing was to be done the clothes in most cases had to be curried often a mile to the river,, as the supply of water In the villnges Is never sufficient for washing clothes.< Natnrally to the many who had nof oply become accustomed to running water In their houses, but also to modern washing machines, this wny Of washing did not appeal and they would not walk down to the washing place, but paid a woman to do their work. This meapt a great deal of money every week, as Americans are considered to be millionaires or very near It, sr> the prices asked were always very high. Then the cost of food now Is sometimes higher than tn the cities, as the produce in villages Is generally what Is left over from that expected to town. Besides, plumbing In Italy, except In the big cities, is absolutely unknown ; only primitive ways of bathing are indulged In and a bathroom In a village house is unknown. This is due to the great lack of water In villages all over Italy, although In reality In out-of-the-way woods there are wonderful springs, but the water runs to waste, as these sources are far removed from the villages and towns. In one small village. In the province of Rome, called San Felice, nearly all the male adult population over twenty-five years old bad been to America, made a little money, returned to their families and bought a little vineyard, which they worked until a longing to return to the new country forced them to take ship an«* leave for New York. Some of these men have been four or five times In America, speak English and are long lng to go again. Many of them returned to Italy tr serve their time during the war, and only now wait an opportunity to get away. Emigration now is not so easy as one must have a job ready to step into as soon as the ship reaches New York. Many of them, who have their families growing up and whose wives have never been to America, are planning to leave their families and go over for a year or so. Those whose wives have been to America and have lived there are returning with their families, as the wives refused to remain behind, as they find Italy too dirty.

Ita friends feel that It Is quite time that a kindergarten should be In every one of oar public schools, and are working to {pat end. The people of California have demonstrated that the most effective way to secure this advantage for our children is by legislation.
