When Roger Stone returned to
his Southern homo in Myrtlovillo
from a northern university, ho found
a hearty wnlcomo accorded hlin hy
his townsmen, but what cheered him
most was the wolcome he saw in tiio
beautiful eyes of pretty Uetsy Shel
ton, daughter of un old Inipovorished
Southorn funilly, who toiled nt a
typowrlter to keep llio funilly name
from the dlsgraco of accepting chnr
lty. And thus began this romance of
the sunny South and Southern chlv
.niry, so well depicted in tho gripping
Triangle drama "The Stalnloss Ilar-
rler," which will bo shown at tho

and woo this charming Southern
miss, and the diamond ring Betsy

Here fate took a he.nd, for Ilich i

around these four sprang up a ser

A Scccnd Invitation.
But the sentry re'dotHdcd his vigi
lance. The 'mltery bad naole Itself
exceedingly unpopular with the Ger
man ; It had recently put several of
his guns out tif action, besides account
ing for a big mlnenweifer that had an
noyed the Infantry In the front line,
nnd It wiisVvident that he meant to
discover Its position somehow. There
were several German bnlloons up as It
was, though a fortuunte rise In the
ground Just hid the btn rv from their
view. Nor was it likely that on n day
when visibility was se good the enemy
would stop nt one ca.-unl airplane. It
wns far more likely that he would send
them over at Intervals throughout the
day.
And so It happened. Before nn
hour was past a second speck appeared
In the sky and again the ncene shifting
took place on the blast of the whistle.
This time the hostile plane was shap
ing n conrse that would bring It very
nearly over the buttery, and the sentry
watched It with some concern. On it
came, the shrapnel bursting furiously
round it, diving nnd wheeling to dis
concert the gunners' aim. It swept
over the battery, went straight on for a
few minutes, then turned nnd came
back again. Had It seen anything sus
picious? The sentry scanned the or
rhurd shnrplj. Everything wns In per
fect order, not even n bully-beef tin
lay about to betray a sign of human
oceupntlou ; there were no tracks visi
ble across the grass; every trifle was
carefully covered up. It is on details
like this that the safety of n battery
depends. Upon the slightest hint that
anything Is hidden In a particular spot
the airplane calls up its guns nnd
ranges on the place. And ever after
ward one has the uncomfortable feel
ing that one Is suruoeted and that at
,ny moment a torrent of shell may r
rive.
Pursued by Shrapnel.
The plune was perceptibly lower; It
almost seemed ns If Its suspicions
must have been aroused. It swept off
toward home, pursued by the bursting
shrapnel that It dodged ns if by a
series of miracles. But suddenly It
seemed to quiver, its tall went up, nnd
It began to dive steeply- The sentry
watched It eagerly through his glusses.
Was It n ruse to escape the shell, or
was It hit? Slowly the plane began to
turn over ns it fell, anil then, all nt
once, all control seemed to leave It,
nnd it dropped steadily, tinning over
and over, the sun Hashing from Its pol
ished fusllngo as it did so. Lower und
lower It fell, until only n few hundred
feet from the ground, when It turned
on its side nnd crashed swiftly to earth,
a mile or so from the battery.
The sentry blew his whistle once
more, nnd the battery returned to Its
work cheering nnd whistling Every
one had seen the machine come to
earth and was proportionately elated.
But, as always, a chivalrous feeling for
their fallen enemy was mingled with
the men's Joy. ,

and the rest echoed his sentiments.

lent in a fierce fight lasting into the
night. The enemy desperately count
er attacked but failed, leaving in all
120 prisoners, including six officers,
in tho hands of the Blue Devils. Com
plete German losses, high because of
their fierce effort to retain a position
which they know to be of extreme
value, were estimated at least COO
men.
, The following day a French Gen
eral pinned military medals on the
blue tunics of two adputants and a
corporal for exceptional v valor.
Though there were no such medals
in the district the General sent a fast
automobile to find them, wherever
possible, and the little presentation
ceremony in an Alsatian village was
a happy aftermath to a victory that
took from the Germans priceless ob
servatories which had bothered the
French for two years.
Seeing Too Much.
The French command next d .'eld
ed that the Germans wore seeing
too much North of the Chamtn des
Dames. Consequently following a
brief artillery deluge, four compan
ies of poilus passed to the attack
against the enemy lines forming a
salient between the small river
I.I lotto and the route to the German
held village of Juvincoiirt as far as
the village of Ville-au-Bois. Hore
the enemy held valuable observation
posts overlooking Juvincoiirt and
Juvincoiirt and ground east of the
Miettc.
Under loW lying clouds and in. a
"peasoup" fog, the former prevent
ing all aerial work and the litter
preventing enemy observation of the
advance, the French infantrymen, in
less than an hour, swept over posi
tions on a front of 1.500 yards and
penetrated to a depth of over half a
mile. They wiped out the salient,
took all tho observatories and cap
tured 475 prisoners a number al
most equal to halt of the entire at
tacking force. Six German officers
and 45 under-officers fell into tho
net. !
Hellish Fighting.
The ' third and most Important
French action of November was in a
region where constant hellish fight
ing has been the dally routine, Hill
344, on tho right bank of the Meuse,
North of Verdun. Here a drum-llko
artillery roar has never ceased night
and day for nearly three months.
German attacks and French counter
attacks, almost dally since the latter
part of August, have had small place
in the communiques because of their
routine nature. The enemy's posi
tions permitted him to make con
stant infantry "nibbles" into- tho
French lines on the Northern Flank
of Hill 344 and to disturb French
organization which he could see In
the rear.
French Strategy.
French strategy In eliminating tho
enemy's advantageous positions In
the region of Hill 344 has probably
never been employed before In this
war. Taking advantage of the con
ditions peculiar to the region French
guns of many calibers nt 6:30 Sun
day morning, November 25, concen
eruted their deluge of steel on a
three and one-hnlr kilometer front
opposite 344. The thunder of this
artillery preparation though vlotenu,
was unnoticed amidst the constant
med'ly of nir vibrations which had be
come a habit to Gorman ears for al
most three months. Just four hot'rs
after tho beginning of the concentra
tion of fire, screened by its own hab
itual . noise, at 10:30 A. M., the
French guns lengthened Hielr range
nnd barraged the German rear while
the poilus went over the top. The
surprise was complete. Victory was
won in several minutes. The French
infantrymen in the first waves left
tho taking of prisoners to "mopping
up" units who followed behind. Tho
latter herded 800 dazed Germans to
the rear. Enemy losses in dead nud
wounded were heaviest. French
losses on account of the surprise
nature of the attack were extremely
light. The advantageous positions
which It had taken the enemy over
eight weeks to gain were wiped out
in not much more than eight minutes.
