THREE HC MTTIES I
BROUGHT BT SPRING
Ymm
•f tU War.
Although apring haa failed t<n bring
tha long expected “big effort” of the
alliee against the German lines in
France and Belgium, it has furnished
three of the moat desperate engage
ments of the war.
The first was at Nueve Chapelle,
where, in three days fighting combined
ioasea numbered 30,000 or more, with
rictory resting on the British arms.
The second was southeast of Ypres,
when the British captured hill No. 60.
This involved the most furious kind
of fighting and after tbe hill was

taken a bombardment by the Germans
for several days. f
Then bringing up heavy reinforce
ments, the Germans began an attack
around Ypres, which is described as
one of the fiercest of the war. This
movement was partly in the nature of
a surprise and the allied lines were
pushed back for a considerable dis-1
tance. Some of this grotind has been
regained, and according to Paris, the
Germans not only have been checked, 1
but Belgians, British and French, by
determined counteratti c'cs, continue to
force their adversaries back. i
The Germans are reported still to
be employing bombs containing gas
forming chemicals, and their use is
admitted and justified by the Berlin
press, one newspaper asserting that
bombs of a similar nature have
beem employed by the French and
British. *
■ The full force of the German at
tack is being directed against the
British front from several directions
and here the Canadian troops, who
already had distinguished themselves
by brilliant counterattacks when the
Germans swept the French line back,
are bearing the brunt of the battle.
With 750,000 men on the continent,
as announced recently by the British
chancellor of the exchequer, reinforce
ments doubtless have been hurried

to cause so much suffering from sym
pathy as a person employed In a man

large number of employees there is
usually such a person, for there Is a
certain percentage of workmen killed
every year.
Kathleen O’Rourke and Patrick Co^
glan met lit a ball on the evening of
St Patrick^dey^tnd Pat had asked
her to dnnce wlth^hlm many times.
Afterward be Invited her to go to a
moving picture show with him. From
that time forward they were together
when not at work, and it waa evident
they were about to make a match.
But Pat bad a mother to support,
and Kathleen, who waa an orphan,
waa a mother to a little brother and
a stater. So they couldn’t marry until
they had laid up eomethlng. They
both worked In the same factory, and
each lived In a house built on the
premises by the company to be used
for homes for its employees. So they
saw a great deal of each other.
They agreed that when their wedding
occurred It should take place on the an
niversary of their meeting, which was
the evening before BL Patrick’s day.
When this first anniversary came
around Pat had saved M00, and Kath
leen had saved g300, and they decided
that if they did as well the next year
they would be married tbe evening
before St. Patrick's day.
On the first of tbe year they counted
up their aavlngs and Interest and con
cluded that with their neat egg they
might be married and have enough for
thamaelTea and those dependent upon
them. Kathleen bought what clothes
she would need to last a year after her
marriage, and In due time the banns
were published In church. Finding It

Farmer*
and Shippers to by
Naw Departure
A new weekly weather forecast de
signed especially to aid farmer* in
planning their farm operations and
shippers of perishable products to
handle tbeir goods with reference to
expected weather conditions, was
inaugurated by_ the United .Stales
Weather Bureau on April 20 and will
continue during the crop season In
order to have these weekly forecasts
reach the farmers and shippers in
small towns with the least possible de
lay, the bureau has also arranged a
system whereby the forecast will be
taken Tuesday and reach the weekly
newspapers, especially in the corn,
wheat and cotton districts, by mail on
Wednesday morning—which will
be in time for the greatest number of
them to use the information in their
editions. In this way it is believed
that the forecast for the week com
mencing Wednesday morning will be
in the hands of most of the farmers and
shippers in small towns, through the
medium of the weekly newspaper

This waa partly becauae Pat was one
of the committee of arrangements for
tbe Rt Patrick* day parade and waa to
lead bis toriety on that occasion.
When tbe hour came for tbe wed
ding Pat did not appear. Kathleen,
dreaeed tta her bridal apparel, waited
for bla with a wildly basting heart
lest something had happened to him.
Hhe wont to the door a dosen tlaaa to
look tor bias and finally stationed ber-
eetf at a window where she coo Id look
up tbe street on which tbe workmen*
cottages were botlt.
Presently she saw Owen MacTavieb
coming. MarTavtab waa known to
•rery one connected with the plant as
the company* bad news breaker, and
many a woman* heart bent quick
when she aaw him approaching her
house. Kathleen no sooner saw him
coming than she fancied be would atop
at her borne to tell her that Pat had
been killed. Before be reached tbe
door she had fallen In a swoon.
Now, MacTaviah did not stop at tbe
O'Hourke cottage end waa unconsciooa
that he had fiii;hU-ued a girl there Into
a awoou. Kathleen was picked up by
her friends, who bad gathered to at
tend her to tbe church for the wed
ding. When abe came to herself she
looked about, dreading to see tbe bad
new* breaker, but be waa uot there.

“Nobody* heard of bta being dead."
‘'Thank* be to Ood."
But Pat did not appear, and no one
seemed to have any new* of him.
Word was sent to tbe company* office
to Inquire for him, but no Information
waa elkited.
Kathleen for awhile gave herself up
to grief. She wns uncertain whether
Pat had met with foul play or wheth-
er he had deserted her. It would have
been easier for tbe poor girl If she had
known which of the two suppositions
was correct, for tt would have relieve!
her somewhat of suspense.
When 8t. Patrick* day In the morn

mind that her lover had deserted her
