The color of the ground was in him. the red earth; The tang and odor of the primal things? The reotitude and patience of the rocky.

CAMDEN, SOUTH CAROLINA WAR DARE DEVILS First of the Amerioan Heroes to Storm No Man's land. News of United State#' Declaration ef War on Oermany Signal for Bound Over tho Top. It Was night In the trenches of France, and the Canadian contingent lay watchful for the foe, on duty at the listening posts, and night patrols crept stealthily about !n No Mau's Land. Their bayonets were rubl>ed with lump black so that tho tmddeu bursting of a star bomb would not be tray their presence. In this partTcular Canadian section, writer Henry James Buxton, were one hundred or more stalwurts from the United States ? men who went over the International boundary Into Canada so they could enlist. These Americans were together In one section of the trench. One of these was Private "Scotty" Anderson, farmer, telegraph operator, who had tapped the key from Boa, ton to 'Frisco. Scotty was loug, lean and lank, with arms like bean poles. But his muscles were steel, and his courage without a blemish. Said Scotty to his pal, Jack Murdocl; : ? "This Is too slow for me ; why can't we go over the top once In a while, and take a slatu at the Boches?" "Time apparently ain't ripe," replied Murdock. "Ripe," snorted Scotty disgusted ly; "we'd soon make the Boches ripe If we got at 'em with our bayonets." Just then a sergeant hurried Into the trench from a communicating pas ?aige. "Boy's," he cried excitedly, "the United States has declared war with Germany." Scotty was on his feet with a whoop. He grabbed the sergeant and said : "Say that again." The ser geant repeated the message. Scotty grabbed an American flag with one band and seized his gun with the other, "Come on, Yanks," he yelled, "over the top for us; we've got to celebrate this r With a whoop 100 Americans fol lowed Scotty over the top. The ser geant yelled something about orders, but he was brushed aside. Yelling, the Americans rushed over No Man's Land, and leaped Into the German first line trehch. The on slaught was so sudden that the Ger mans were taken by surprise. A score or more were shot down before they were aware what had happened, and nearly a score more surrendered. The Americans returned to their own trench with their prisoners and they were greeted as heroes by* their Cana dian comrades. ? "We had to do something to cele brate the entrance of Uncle Sam on the Job," Scotty explained to a su perior. Lodging In the Northwest. Id some of the high altitudes In the lumbering districts of the Northwest, logging trains are employed to bring big loads of cut timber from the for e?i? to the mill.. The snow, 4m <* way, helps this situation, for It permits the use of an Ingenious caterpillar tractor steam engine of great power It is, practically speaking, a locomotive of the cog-wheel type and the front trucks are sleigh runners, which are steered by a man sitting In front, tils hands on the steering wheel. The "en gineer" concerns himself with the same duties as though he were running on a track, while the fireman has to keep steam up. Specially devised sleighs, as wide as the locomotive Itself, are used to carry the logs, and the track- < less engine Is of such power that It can drag eight and more truckloads of this character at a time. Why He Quit f A new confectionery store opened Its doors in the north part of the city recently, states the Indianapolis News. The proprietor hired a skilled Candy maker. His troubles started early. The candy maker went on a big -spree, and In a few days the stock In the store ran low. The proprietor went ont on a hunt for the candy maker and finally found him and straightened ?him up so he could work again. But when he was ready for woak the sugar famine was on with all of Its terrors, and no sugar was obtainable. This condition continued for several days, and when he finally got a sugar supply the candy maker was absent again. t? The proprietor closed the doors, sold the remaining stock and store fixtures at auction and retired from the candy business. Popularity for the 8unflower.

We were fisher folk, and Bailor* and lived under the canopy of heaven ; used to the breaking of the wiivea on the beach, which at titnes lulled ua to aluiuher and at times merged with the roar of the tempest. 1 was thirty years old then and when 1 saw Annie racing over the aanda or climbing the dunca, her hair streaming behind her, in the wind, I felt then iu comparison with her 1 waa a hundred. At any rate 1 knew that to her 1 was an old man while to me she was a child. The day would soon come when some youngster would carry her oft aud 1 left in u world that would be dreary without he*v Hut still she 'romped and pulled about, when the water was caliu, In Iter boat, aud with bare feet ran ou the sand of a windy day like a bird. "Of tempest-loving kind TIiuh beating up againal the wind)* and no wooer came. The only claim 1 had on her was when she would sit beside me on the end of the dock under which the waves were rolling and I would tell her stories. Then came u sailor lad still in his teens aud he and Annie came together with a snap like two magnetised met als. How I envied that boy. lie waa a handsome fellow, aud in Ills sailor togs, u unique costume, unlike any other, I thought it no wonder that An nie should find a mate In him. An nie's father und 1 were chums, he being but a few yenrs older than I and one day he said to me: "Tom, d'y'e mind this young Crocker boy, maken up to my Annie?" The devil tempted me to say he's no good. 'Twould be a pity for Annie to throw herself away on such us he. If I had Bald that Jim Clark would have sent him away without Annie. But I braced myself and said, "He's a likely chap, and I believe would go aloft to furl a sail in a hurrlcune aa quick as any man." That settled It. The next day Ned Crocker asked Clark for Annie's ht'nd, and got it. I was menden nets on the sand in the mornen when I felt a pair of anns around my neck und turnln' saw An nie's happy face near to mine. She had come to tell mo that she was to marry the sailor boy. (?- "Papa says you think well of him,M she said, "and papa will take yonr opinion of anyone in preference to hla own." . , ^ "I'm glad you're so happy, my uear," I said, but the words choked me. Annie's happiness did not last long. She married Crocker, but he sailed away from her and never returned, I my words about him to her father were proved. When his ship came In we were told that In a hurricane he went aloft to furl a sail, when no other man dared go, and losing his hold was blown overboard. Annie mourned him but she had youth on her side and though she was never the romp she had been was In time herself again. She turned to me for comfort and sometimes I dared hope that we might In time be something more than friends, but a few years after Crocker's taking off, she mar ried again, this time the mate of a ship that sailed between New York and Japan. He wasn't the handsome sailor lad Crocker was, and he didn't sail with the wind. His ship was a steamer. Simmons, this was Annie's husband* didn't Mve much longer than the first. He cctme home sick from his first voy? age after their marriage, and though. Annie nursed him tenderly she couldn't save him. He died In her arms and we burled him In the little plot of ground on the hillside, a mile back from the village. A big storm raged on the coast. Sev eral miles out was a reef, covered with water at high tide. In the after noon a ship was seen to founder on the ledge and within a few minutes she was broken to pieces. In time wreckage and bodies began to come in and the beach was soon covered with both. We did what we cduld to take in and bury the dead, but night cam* on before we could clean the beach. ? The next day I went with several others to hunt for bodies that had drafted northward. We found them scattered along the beech and burled them as we found them. I jgot sep arated from the rest and came upon the body of a young man. I started the moment I saw him for I recog nised Ned Crocker. He was several jrefu*s older than when I had last seen him and had some beard on his face, but he was Crocker all the same, Before any of the others reached me I had carried Mm back to where there was earth Instead of sand and burled him. I found out In time why Crocker was pllve the day before I found the body/ He had found another mate and the account of his death had been made up to screen his wife from a worse blight. I have continued the decep tion never having told her that I found his body. She has long been my wife, but the difference (n our ages seems much less than when she was a girl.
