Uic. lirst to oiler himself.
All of tli horses In the command

The next morning la; met a party of
fioldiers hriiifrinK hp a eatlle herd for
ri'liornbiirLrh, ciehaiiKed horses and
jiressed on.
His new tnoiittt soon failed liltn and
he was foreed to continue his journey
on fool,, lankily h soon reached a
Jiny camp and there oblained another
mount. On Ibis horse be rode weari
ly into ItavvliiiKH with libs news that
evening, lie had crossed three iiioiui
(ulii lances, had led his horses over
frails too rough to ride In the dark
ness or because tin; animals were too
tireil to carry him and he had coveied
the distance of 170 miles In exactly
i!l hours.
Troops were at. once put Into mo

by noon Merrill's comninnd was on
lis way. When they camped at mid
night, they had covered 'ID miles.
It, was Hie morning of October 4.
Mighty miles away Payne and his
comrades were holding off the Ules
mid praying for the arrival of hcjp.
Jle knew that his colonel would spare,
no effort, to come to his rescue and
lie believed It Jusl barely possible that
Merrllt would reach him by dawn of j
October f.
It was a custom In the Fifth ravnl- 1
ry for one troop of the regi nt to
guide another Into camp at night, by
Hounding "ollicera' call." Surrounded ;
liy bis wounded tneii, I'ayne lay In
11)0 trenches they had dug, listening
I'agerly as ( lit? lirst streaks of light

notes of II bugle were lieard and "of- J
fleers' call" lloaled out on the morn- .
Ing air. I
In it few minutes the Ules were re
treating sullenly liefore Hie steady ad
vance of Merrill's dust-covered troop,
crs. Itankln's ride of 1 TO miles over
the roughest country in America and
Ids faithful guiding of Merrill's men
Jitlil siived I'tiyne niid his comrades.

HER AFTERNOON QUITE BUSY
Violet Grace, However, Had Intervals
of Leisure, and Took Advantage
of All of Them.
Violet Orure dressed to ko shopping,
r.iist of all she powdered her nose.
She went lirst to a certain store, for
il was bavin , a sale, but she didn't
see a bargain in the whole store, so
she left. She paused a moment at the
ribbon milliter and powdered her nose.
She stopped at the blouse shop. She
simply had to have a blouse Soon. lint
they had not liiijf that appealed to her,
so after powdering her nose she went
out.
She visited ye baby shuppp to see If
she could find a little gift for Camille's j
baby, but everything was so fri .litfully
expensive that she decided to make
something to give. Shi; powdered her
nose at the doorway. There was such
a Kood mirror there.
J'Yeling weary, she had a nip of
chocolate and some wafers. The choc
olate was not very hot and the
whipped cream looked rnussy. She re
solved she would go somewhere else
next time. Those tea shops deteri
orated so after they had established
it reputation. She powdered lier nose
before leaving the table.
It. was early to go liome, so she
thouchl. she mlht as weJI see a pic
lure. She was disappointed in It, how
ever, ami she went out before It was
allo'ccther finished. She powdered her
nose at'tilu in I he rest room.
She hoarded a street car for home.
She wished she did not have to walk
two blocks when sic not off, but there
was no help for it. She powdered her
nose and ali .hted.

Island of Jersey Has Been Called a
Wonderland Really Is an
Interesting Place.
The island of Jersey is famed for
many things, remarks the "Under the
Clock" columnist of the London
Dally News. . . . lilies, golfers, "won
ders," potatoes and cabbages ten feet
high, to mention only a few of its most
obvious specialities. lint lis chief
claim to fame is that it is the residu
ary legatee of Ilie old Norman duchy,
therefore the Inheritor (and presum
ably the proprietor) of the British
empire. Jerseyiuen undoubtedly fought
hi William's victorious tinny, at Hust
ings, and to this day the island lilts
a conslilullon and laws which have
been little tillered since the reign of
King John, and which, on occasions,
have even dared to defy the thunders"
of the privy council.
The in I nil ii i ii ti t s are a most intense
ly loyal people, and Hie two greatest
blows that can lie offered to their
pride are, first, to confuse their island
with (liiernsey, ami second, to cull
Ibein French. Fancy the joy of the.
Jersey contingent which was welcomed
Into Fermoy Willi the slrains of the
Marseillaise! Jersey has never been
conipiered ; England has; the deduc
tion Is obvious.

How did your neighbor's
lasi Bargain lire xurn out
TjROBABLYyou know
't'-i at least onecar-owner
who is always on
the look-out for the
cheapest tires he can
find. lie likes to get them by mail
or at a sale or at some place
where they have big red bargain
signs over the door.
It would be fine if he could
pet "the edge" in every tire
trade.
But the dealer can't afford to
let him have it.
Even if a man saw any slight
percentage in tire shopping at
all it disappeared when the
"Usi'o" brought the price
down.
An out-ln-the-opentire. The dealer
sells you confidence, not price. He
wants you satisfied with performance
and value. The only way he knows
to get your busiuess is to de
serve it.
This is the "Usco" idea.
Compared with the
ten-minute thrill ctT
the bargain appeal,
the "Usco" is just
plain common-sense.
