The French rapid fire guns swept the ranks of their enemies on tbe wooded slopes of the ravine- until the banks were carpeted with corpses. The Germans, realizing that they were defeated at this point, made a violent attack upon the flanks of the French positions. An entire division which was 'marching southward on the west bank of the Meuse came under fire of the French artillery and were com pelled to retreat in disorder. The heaviest blow of the Teutons, however, was delivered at the east ern wing where two divisions were hurled into the town of Chauffour, in the Ablain woods. Concentrated fire of the French artillery beat the first attack off. but the second at tack carried the advanced positions.

THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN Tommy Changes His Plans Been rrx as Tommy Tittle-mouse did have! He raced over to the old lor; the tribute Mrs. Tommy told him of her plan to stock up the log with corn from the barn. And he nosed bis way through the damp, frost-rotted leaves that he and Mrs. Tommy had so carefully banked up before the entry way when the cold winter drove them to seek the warmer shel ter of tbe barn. "Now," said he to himself gaily, "In no time at all this old log Is go ing to be so stocked up with good corn that we will never again be hungry!" "Which, of course, was a very good resolution to make. Unfortunately, this good resolution, like most all good resolutions, was liardcr to work out than to make. It's easy enough to say, "I will do this or do that!" but the doing clear through to the end is quite another matter! And that is exactly ivhnt Tommy Tittle-mouse discovered. Poking away the leaves and nosing Into the last year's house was a lot of fun; bringing the first load of corn from the corn-bin In the barn, out through the chicken room (being very careful rrver to bo seen, of course), across the yard and into the far corner of the log was quite as Jolly. But the second load was less ' Interesting than the first and by tho time tbe fourth load was safely tucked tinder some bits of shavings, Tommy was really bored with his job. "There's no sense at all In my car Tying that corn so far," he decided, as he sat down for a rest and a quiet think. "All I need to do Is to hide tho corn some safe place here in the yard. Once I get It out of the barn, that should be enough." He looked around the yard for a good biding place. "The lily bed!" he exclaimed suddenly. "Why didn't I think of that before? The boards and leaves are still on that. Couldn't find a better hiding place for my corn If I tried. I'll get a load right away.'" Tommy started for tbe barn; then he stopped and thought a minute. "No, I'll not tell Mrs. Tommy where Pui going to hide it. She's always so par ticular about her plans being carried out Just so. I'll show her once that ses - as. i was TROUSERS I Find a Five DoU-ftK. bill in one i S . ur mt 1 SO ITS 1 psessto NI4IU t 35t "Alt 1 need fo do fj fo hide the corn some sate place here in the yard" I can make a plan that Is even better than hers! Won't she be glad when she sees all the corn that will be under these boards?" Tommy chuckled to himself as ha hurried, off to the barn for corn. "For once In my life I've made a plan about tbe house and housekeep ing that Is better than Mrs. Tommy's! Why I can carry twice as much corn to the lily bed as I could clear over 10 me log. Ana wnen we once get moved," It will be no trick at all to carry the corn on over to the log and let Mrs. Tommy store It away anywhere she pleases!" Tommy was so satisfied with his scheme that he worked away hap pily, and never thought of time till the darkness of evening sent him hurrying homo. S C J- I !
