Hundreds of thousands of Ger mans met Omul rods ot thousands of h'rcueh, English and Belgians; tens ot tliousuuds of men In both armies were killed or mutilated, and there was nothing gained or lost. Whatever ot romance there may have been In war during past ages was denied those who participated in this lutter day strug gle. The leader, Instead of waving Ills sword and calling on his men to fol low him, either marched doggedly against the machinery of death that hud been perfected under the influ ence of a developed civilization or stood waltlug to be cut down by the same marvelous contrivances. Curious, Is it not, that the same In genuity which produced the printing press brought forth the rapid tire guuY For weeks Lieutenant Adolph Tve- lawnoy, a young Englishman who hud left home to enter the great contest us a soldier, fuced death, not In a bat tle, but In a succession of battles, the one following the other In rapid suc cession. It had become simply an uc tive waiting for death. Why the bolts lmd uot already taken birn he did not Know. There was one reason why Treiaw- ne.v did uot ding to life with the te nacity of other men. The younger son of u British peer, a match had been made for biiu with' u girl ot his own social standing, lie lmd but just re turned from the honeymoon when the war broke out. At the same time a secret lmd been imparted to him. A woman who had wanted but had lost him took revenge upon him by telling him that his bride, at the instigation of her parents, had broken with a man whom she loved to marry him. Trolawuey was in Loudon at the time, and, holding a commission in the army, lie joined his regiment without seeing bis bride before leaving for France. Several weeks passed, dur ing which the letters he received from her were all that a husband couifl wish But they were turned to bitterness by tbe belief that they were forgeries of feeding. The young officer glanced through them, then tore t hem into hits After one of the unsuccessful at tempts of the Germans to break tin British lines a force sallied iorth in pursuit. A number ol Jackies from the licet had been landed and took part in the tight, occupying a position on the flank of Trolawney’s regiment. Tlie enemy were followed for awhile; then they turned and drove hack the allies. it was during this struggle that the missile fate had prepared for Trainwuey struck him. lit* was left on a held where neither allies nor Ger mans could give him succor, for by this time both sides were hack in their trenches and any one standing on the held would be a target for a thousand rifles. Treiawney was knocked senseless When he came 10 himself he lay m a pool of Ills own blood. His head rested on the (lead body of a sergeant of his regimpnt. and a leg of a midshipman was thrown over his own person. His head being thus raised, the lieutenant could see the heaps of dead and dying about lum. They reminded him of swaths of grain that had been cut by a scythe. Keeling something tickling the hack of his bund, he looked and saw an ant crawling over it. "Singular!" he muttered. "This in sect with a brain to plan, inhabiting the same world as uumnns, but a tar different sphere, is no more concerned in this death storm which lias passed over it than that dead leaf blown along by the wind.” The leg of the midshipman was bur densome. and Treiawney made a move to get rid of it. He was unable to do so, but his effort brought a low moan from tile sailor. Then he opened his eyes and looked Treiawney in the face. "Where are you hit?" asked Treiaw ne.v. The sailor put his hand to his right side. "Luckily it's not the left. You’ll prob ably come out all right. 1 thluk f’rn done for." The two lay there near each other for a periial which seemed to both in terminable. The midshipman held his owu while the lieutenant grew ..maker. "I say." said the latter, "I’m Treiaw- ney of the —th Infantry. If you get out of this nnd back to England find my wife and tell her about me. I shall probably be burned, and she won't know what has become of me. You can say posilively that I’m dead, for I know I shall be dead pretty soon, and say that If there is any man who will make her happy as her husband it is my wish that she marry him with out waiting for proof that she is a widow." "I'll do it if I get back." was the re ply. "hot neither of ns will do that.” This brief dialogue was spoken with difficulty, especially by Treiawney. After the midshipman had made the promise, with much effort lie raised himself on an elbow to get a view of tbe surroundings. •‘There'* n truce." he said. "They’re coming with spades und fuel to burn or to bury us." He glanced nt Trainwney and saw that ho had closed Ids eyes and gave no sign of life. “He was right," mused the sailor "ne'll either lie burned or burled and that pretty soon, Not much time to spare for the dead. There'll be a new crop before long. Hope they won't tie- gin before they get me. Here comes a Red Gross man." **»•*»* At a country place in England a bride whose husband was fighting In Frituce sat trying to pass the hours embroidering. She had tried reading, but. though her eyes passed over the words, her mind refused to receive them. She had therefore resorted to working with her hands while Iter thoughts were with the dreadful slaughter going on m France. While tints occupied the butle. entered with the morning mult, including newspa pers from London. The lady seized both nnd, glancing hastily at the superscription of the let ters. tossed them on a table, then tore off the covering of otic of the newspa pers. Turning over the pages, she einuo to one. every column of which was tilled with names. With wildly beating heart site ran her eye down tile column till she came to a list un der the caption of th Infantry.” Among the officers reported missing she saw the name of Treiawney. Wlille to learn that a soldier was missing left room for a ray of hope, the inference was that he had been burled or burned as unknown. Mrs, Treiawney had read of the light dur ing which her husband had disap peared. Lint had not learned that pris oners were taken on either side. Now with the list of cuMunlties before Iter she knew that there were many chances that her husband had been killed aud his body had received no more individual treatment than a spear of wheat cut down. A month passed, when one day n card was handed to Mrs. Treiawney hearing the uume ot Edgar Furuiss. royal navy, a young man was re ceived breathlessly, lie told the wid ow that he had seen her husband (lead or dying, that a detachment approach ed for burial purposes and Bed Cross workers at the same time. If Treiaw ney bad not died he would have been taken hi by the Red Cross men. I-Iuv lug destroyed all hope, the sailor gave the widow her husband's dying mes sage, intimating that she should take another husband if there was any man who would make her nappy. Treiawney when the burial nnd the rescue parties eaiiie along was left by the latter for dead, and before there was time for tlie former to attend to him the truce ended. He lay where he was till midnight, when the spirit of evil again swept the held on which he lay under the direction of powerful searchlights. This time the Germans held the field long enough to take In the wounded, and Treiawney, whom a surgeon pronounced to be still alive, was removed to the rear. The record of the next few weeks in the officer’s ease was, except for frequent removals, one continuous dull life in hospitals, during which he was slowly recovering from his wound. Long before he was supposed to be well enough to be transferred to a con centration camp l'or prisoners of war, tired of tin* life he led, one evening under cover ot the darkness he walked away. A few days Inter Treiawney reach ed England, hut there was little like lihood of Ids being recognized, for he was the shadow of his former self. Ills hair had considerably whitened, and a long heard had grown on ills for merly clean shaven face. Clad in khaki he appeared in the region ot Ills for mer home as an Invalid soldier on leave recovering from wounds. No one guessed that he was the young soldier who had so proudly marched away some months before. .Supported by a stout cane, he was walking along u road leading toward his former residence when who should drive by in a dogcart but the man whom he had been told bis wife laid formerly refused to marry, and Tre iawney saw the vehicle stop before the door where his wife was living. The soldier hud come home incognito to prove the truth or falsity of wluit had been I old him before going to the war. On seeing what he considered u confirmation of the story he paused. Should lie go away and continue dead to the world, leaving the woman tie loved to he happy with the man who could best make tier happy if A man came trudging along the road whom Treiawney recognized as an old tenant of tils father’s, lint the innn did not recognize Treiawney, who en tered into conversation with him. Tre iawney leading him to speak of the subject nearest his heart. “They say,” said the soldier, "that the young widow who lived down the road and who lost her husband in the war In France is going to take anoth er husband." "Who says that!*" asked tile man, bristling. “isn't it true?" "True? There's a man been trying to get her. and he tried to get tier be fore she was married. But she never will marry, because tier heart Is with the soldier who was killed in France. She has put up a headstone on her grounds with the word ’rJnknown' on it. She keeps it covered with flowers." When Treiawney walked on he stood up strnigbter and made his way with less difficulty than before. The next day he sought the place where the headstone to bis memory stood. While there his wife, seeing an Invalid near it. came out to talk to him. She looked Into his face nnd despite his altered appearance knew him nt once. Lieutenant Treiawney is now being nursed back to rugged health by a lov. lng wife. ME MAGIC OF LIFE Unchecked It Would Kill Every body and Everything. ONLY BY DEATH DO WE EXIST. Codfish Alone, If All Were Allowed to Live and Propagate Freely, Would In a Few Years Smother the Earth and Bo Dropping Off Into Space. Suppose for n moment that the equi librium between life and dentil were to cense— imagine deal It arrested In its work! What would happen? The number of living beings upon the sur face of the earth would be so great there would be no room for them. The atmosphere would be transformed into n compact mass of birds and insects which would I>l> impenetrable even by tlie rays of the sun. in its super abundance life would suffocate anil crush out life Itself, ami then death would rule supreme nil at once, in a few days all organic life would have disappeared from the earth. It would be nothing but a waste and n desert. That microscopic animal, the rotifer or rotator, lays thirty eggs at a time nnd starts seventy generations every year. If all these Individuals remain ed alive at the end of a year their to tal would be so enormous ns to make a sphere larger than the known uni verse. The cynips, which produce the galls on the oak rrces, the rose lice, the phyl loxera nnd other apliidians or insects, which extract the sugar from plants, multiply in enormous numbers. One nphldian produces twenty-live descend ants in a single day; on the second day we should have 25 by 25, or 025 In dividunls; the third day 15.025, and so on in geometrical proportion. Ten thousand of these insects, lighter than ether, weigh one-twentieth of u gram. Ten consecutive generations would make a cube equal to l.OUO.OOO men weighing 200 pounds each, nnd tills In ten days. One ll.v gives lilrlii to nhnut 20.000, OIK) Individuals In a single summer, At the end of flve summers of free propagation we should reach a fan tastic flgure—.'12 followed by :i,5 zeros. Consider the vegetables for a mo mem. One plant of henbane dun pro- * duee no less than 10,000 seeds In | single year. In live years It would j have covered the entire surface of the ! earth with un Impenetrable layer. And I what about all tlie mushrooms that I multiply so rapidly in a few days as | to tunko nil other vegetable life almost ! impossible? I Tbe destruction of life Is ns cruel in ! the depths of the oceait as it Is on ■ earth, and the same terrible thin | would happen if there were no death In ilie sea If there were no death ) one cod would in six years dll the j ocean solid full aud running over. Of course the original codlish wouldn’t do it alone, but she would be responsible for it. One cod lays about U.000.000 eggs in the year after she is three years old. Three years later, if there were no death, all the progeny of this tirst tlslt would each deposit il.OUO.OOU eggs dur ing that year, making u total of 81,- 000,000,000.000. Of course these ligures are so great that they mean nothing to us except per Imps a gasp of aston ishment. Now. take another three years—making six in all from tlie time tbe tirst cod deposited her eggs—each of these cod deposits 0,000.000 eggs, making tlie total of six years (14,081,- 001),(100,000.000,000.000.1100,000,0001 And tills from one codlish only! If there were no death. Imagine what all the codfish would do at tills rate! As a mutter of fact., taking cod fish alone, if there were no death among them, they would smother ev ! cry thing to death with their numbers : In the first three years nnd leave the j old earth dripping codfish Into stellar space. Medusae are destroyed In enormous numbers by aquatic anliinils, but the stomach of each medusa coutalas more than 100.000 of those microscopic mii- rint* algae called illnioms One whale at a single mouthful swallows billions of these marine aniimileulae. From tlie bottom to the top «r the scale the scene Is Hie same. Tin* great er the propagating power of specie the greater and more rapid Is the work of death, so as to preserve the equilib rium, without which all life would cease. Nature seems cruel to us, but Is it? Of course such a thing as no death Is a great deal like an Irresistible force striking an immovable body, for In an unbelievable short time the earth would lie covered with nnluinl and vegetable matter, the air packed solid with birds and all (lying things and the seas made solid by fish. The re sult would actually he a paradox, to the effect that If there were no death everything would promptly be smoth ered to death. One need but give a few minutes' thought to this before he understands why there Is death, why, after all. It Is only by death that we live.—New York American. STOMACH TROUeil FOR FIVE YEARS Majority of Friends Thought Mr. Hughes Would Die, But One Helped Him to Recovery. Pomeroyion, Ky.—In interesting ad vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes writes as follows: "I was down with stomach trouble for five (5) years, and would have sick headache so bad, af times, that I thought surely I would die. 1 tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. I got so bad, 1 could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought I would die.

I decided to take his advice, although I did not have any confidence in it. 1 have now been taking Black-Draught for three mofiths, and it has cured me— haven't had those awful sick headaches since I began using it. 1 am so thankful for what Black- Draught has done for me.” Thedford’s Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for de rangements of the stomach and liver. It is composed of pure, vegetable herbs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely used by young and old, and should be kept in every family chest.

III. the Slute College of Agrlculluro at Athens; a second cash prize of $30, and a (bird cash prize of $20. Lust year tlie Geor gia scholarship prize was won by Gor don Lee Hasty, of Walker county, with UK IiiisIicIh and 43 pounds to an acre. Ills success was a noli worthy exam ple of perseverance, us it wus the third year lie lmd tried for (lie prize. In Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, North Carolina and Souili Carolina, Mr. Hastings offers $100 in each slate, either in cash or scholarships according to local ar- rnngeme nt. The great educational value and constructive force of the corn club contests, in addition to the marvels they are accomplishing in increased corn production, are emphasized in un interview given out by Mr. Hastings In connection with his announcement of prizes. "The interest now being taken in corn production, by the federal gov ernment, hy stale officials, by leading organizations and individuals,” says Mr. Hustings, “is, in my opinion, the greatest constructive force now oper ative In agricultural affairs in Amer ica. For too long tho tendency of edu cation In the rural schools was to draw hoys away front the farm, hut tlie corn clubs are now combining with true agricultural < ducation to in fluence the hoys to form new idens and new Ideals of farm lire.
