"I'll take you up," was Ihe cool ans

wer of Donald Kaughton, manager of the camp. The challenge and its acceptance were the result of Donald Naughton's efforts to pursuade his foreman to return home without further drinking and spending his money. Mr. Naughton had given a promise to Miss Shiela Dolan to bring her father home. The two men closed, surrounded by a ring of hard men. belonging to the saloon and camp. The younger, Naughton, shot hia blows In with the cunning and timeliess of a trained boxer. The foreman struck with terrific force, hitting now and then, but missing because of the science and rapid foot

work of his opponent. To and fro

they both battled. Three times the.

giant foreman went down for the count. At length, without a word of

comment, he rose, picked his coat and hat from the bar and went home arm in arm with the bloody, battered young Hercules who had beaten him man to man.

them masses of Germans who came on in denser formation than ever before, yet all reports show that they fought magnificiently. For example south of St Quentin out of our divisions had to bear up against the repeated assaults of no fewer than six German divisions, possibly 90,000 men and only

when the assaults ceased with darkness did our troops withdraw to strong positions behind the canal system between St. Quentin and the Oise: "It is estimated that altogether nearly 600,000 Germans participated in ihe offensive. The enemy fought well and his gunners did good service. The

quickness with which the guns were brought forward into No-Man's Land after the infantry had advanced was marked. He had in many places the advantage over us in position and he was at all points largely superior in numbers." '

clothes. When the will was read, however she discovered that a codicil was appended leaving her a meagre thousand dollars. Bitterly disappointed, she determined to obtain a unique revenge. She planned to spend her thousand dollars in one day.

morning reconnaiescance spotted several thousand Germans moving westward south of Bullecourt and another reported three thousand of the enemy in a sunken road in this area waiting to advance. Few enemy machines were seen and they mostly, flew low, peppering our trenches with their machine guns. "This is the first battle where British gunners had to serve their guns in gas masks and it was a difficult task. Fortunately practices with gas masks have been taking place frequently for an hour daily. I found every one I saw pretty confident. At first they did have a hard Job to meet
