pale as the utter loneliness of her po

Mr. and Mrs. Montague Aylestord

It be that they had sol woefully misin

JArANEKE liBfyoi&i:
HE toliowlilg true story was
translated for Success Mag-
.nine by Aihu-bi Klnho-
suke: In a qnlet corner of
Hit 1 liravlnee Ui Kagawn, in
the compouud of ii temple Colled Bent-,
siiji, yon eon tied a temporary hospital.
Within II are men wild hare brought
hack from Maiichurio something that
<-oitI»s more distinction than medals.
These men are tbe wonnded of the war.
Among them Is an engineer, who an
swers to the nsiue of Kowamnra
KakuJI. He was one oh the kessliltdl
(a band of Inert whd Sfe determined td
tile)— men who won. the distinction of
having Ix-en selected to carry oat a
military operation, the doing of which
In all probability would result In tbelr
death. One night he waa chosen with
twenty others of tbe krsshltsl to cot
down the wire entauglement In front of
a Rnsslon position; Before they eonld
reach their position they lost thirteen
killed nnd three wounded. Kswsmnra
wss fortunate to be one of tbe men
who took part lu tbe final attempt to
break down tbe entanglement,
tells the story os follows:
“The kesshltal of the company of en
gineers, No. it, were under tbe com
mand of fiergeant iloaol; there were
Mlyoshl. Mntanaka, TstttsnJI, Ruga,
Kawndn and myself, seven In all. The
night waa far gone, All waa allent,
We went and cat down the branches of
trees well covered with leaves. These
we stark upon onrselve* Clothed lu
the leafy houghs, we went bark to the
simplicity of primitive day* The col
ors of night are kindly to dsrk leaves.
They would skelter ns from the critical
eyes of Hnsslan curiosity. Bearch-
llghts were playing nervously. We
were to perform a famous feat In
crawling on all tonra for many meters.
Our ambition waa not exactly to ah
tract attention of tbe Ruslana and
reeetre tbelr applause from tbelr qnlck-
flrers. All sorts of fireworks seemed to
help the work of tbelr searchlights.
We made slow progress, always on all
tour* We reached the second netting
of barbed wire, and this we hacked
away without very much trouble,
front of us was tbe final fence. We
had had a happy run of lack so far.
We did not wish to apoll.lt by a tohch
of carelessness or too much daring.
Cautiously, therefore, we went on our
stomachs to make the distance between
the second and the first barbed wire en
tanglement* All this distance waa a
surprise to us; It was covered with
many things evincive of tbe skill and
thoughtfulness of the Ruslan engi
neers. It was about 100 meters In
length. The ground was sloping. It
was filled with pitfalls and mines In
numerable. For a second time these
mines made u forget the first line of
wire fefice toward which wo were mak
ing our way. First of all. we had to
dlspoae'of the mine* We had reason
to suspect that they were electric
mines, and. In fact, the Ruslan eng!
neer* with all tbelr thoughtfulness,
did not always take the trouble to
bury the conductor* Wo discovered
and ent as many as to nr conductors,
which were Jut shoot the slae of my
thumb. They were wrapped In-a rub
ber coating, and within tbe rubber coat
ing we found over twenty-tour small
wires. I carried no sclnora about me.
Those electric wires were a neat sur
prise to u* The aerere usage to which
It had been put had dulled tbe edge of
my ax almost as blunt ts the edge of
my palm. It could not cut the rubber-
wrapped wlrei on soft earth. Time
waa pressing. We were In danger of
bring discovered liefore we conhl get
at tho first line of barbed wire fence,
which was the last (oal of onr efforts;
moreover, we were somewhat Impa
tient. 8o all of ns fell upon those elec
tric wires, nnd with our teeth we hit
them off. I fear we may have been
somewhat excited. We did some dam
age to our taeth by this work. When
a man tells you that he did not know
when hla teeth were bring broken, you
would Dot believe him. That man
might be telling the truth, under tome
circumstances, however."
He laughed a laugh Innocent and
childlike, and In the laughter you eonld
lee more than two broken teeth In bis
mouth. Nothing else could drive home
the conviction quite ao powerfully as
those broken teeth of hi*
screeched from tbe Russian batteries.
The searchlights played over tbe water
with steady, unceasing sweep; every
Instant exploding mines added to the
din and glare, but still they came. All
but one reached tbe harbor, and strove
to win the appointed place. The sec

Tbe third struck tbe boom, turned
broadside, grappled It aod went down.
Two others turned ahead and aatanl

Russian mines sank tbe otber three
farther out. but tbe channel' was
closed. Tbe great object waa attained.
Then under tliat awful ball of shot
and tbril tbe destroyers picked np tbs
escaping crews. Of tbe ships which
went down oatslde every mOti was rea

found return cat off by tho opposing
gale. There was to them but a single
course open, and.they took it gladly.
Gaining the shore they formed and
charged np tbe heights, determined to
sell their lives dearly In an attempt
upon the Russian forta. Bnt the Rus

her way from Hamburg she left Cu^-
baven on a Tuesday. At S.‘30 on tbe
same evening she was close'to a light,
which I found from tbe ligbt book to
be the Iale of Vlerge, near Ushant.
When I asked tbe captain for the
light book lie replied: ‘Find It If you
can. I can’t.’ When I dkl find It the
captain took tbe l>ook from my hand
nnd tore up part of It, saying: *To
with the book, with tbe ship and with i "

I suggested that lie should back

to do anything without my ordera I
