ways meet the reception they expect-
ed, The women, were no less weary
of the war than they; but they had
sometimes a clearer idea of the neces-
sity of continuing it, czar or no czar,`
than had their men. There were faifly
numerous instances when the men re-
turned to duty in abashed squads un-
der the escort of an Amazonian guard

The influence of women has always
been important in holding the soldiers
of a nation to their duty, or discourag-

mained influence merely, and has not
become compulsion. Sometimes it has
been exerted in a manner halfway be-

This morning the ground was white
With the ashes of their campfires

A srnoke-like purple haze

Have blazed the way to go.

They love not the Frost King's

Are hoarding their nuts and grain.

WEAK BOYS AND GIRLS
It is a mistake to think that anaemia
is only a girl's complaint. Girls prob-
ably show the effect of weak, watery
blood more plainly than boys. De-
layed development, pale faces, head-
aches, palpitation, and a feeling of
listlessness, call attention to weak
blood in the case of girls. But many
THE "SHOVEL V. C."
Wounded British Trooper Saved An-
other Wounded Soldier's Life.
In the charge that the British made
on Hill 70 during the Gallipoli cam-
paign Trooper Potts and Private An-
drews were wounded and, on account
of the deadly fire of the Turks, were
obliged to.Iie in a hollow between the
lines away from their comrades
for
two nights and two days.
When darkness fell on the third
night, says the author of Heroes uof
the Great War, the two men determin-
ed to make a dash for the British
lines,cost what if, might. *At first
Andrews was able to crawl with the
help of Potts but soon was forced to
give in. As -Potts crouched beside,
his companion, wondering, '`how he
could carry him, he had an inspira-
tion. He had seen near by a number
of discardedshovels and he now
crawled over and got one of them.
In a few minutes he was gently
placing the wounded man on it. And-
rews sat with, his back to Potts and,
with his hands over his shoulders,
grasped Pott's hands: Although he
was becoming weaker, every minute,
Potts.braced himself for the heavy
and dangerous task before him. Fix-
ing the • shovel to his equipment, he
started, carefully and slowly, to drag
his human freight down the hill. The.
journey was risky as well as tedious,
for there was the ever-present po'ssi-
Uility that they would be seen or heard
by the cunning Turkish snipers, who
were always active by night.
One of Andrew's legs was useless,
and that added to the difficulty of get-
ting him down the hill. As they pro-
gressed painfully the Turks fired at
them; but in spite of ., the need for
haste Potts had to stop about every
six yards and lie down, owing to his.
weakened condition.
At last Potts reached the foot of the
boys in their teens grow thin and hill and gained the shelter of a wood.

mous the world over for making. he who reported Potts's heroism to the
captain, and the captain, in turn, laid
the case before the authorities.
•, Meanwhile, the sentry had gone to
the trench and brought back several
men. They carried a blanket, and
accompanied Potts to the place where
he had left Andrews. Potts had start-
ed his journey about six in the even-
ing, and it was now half -past nine.
Both the w
younded men were speed-
ilyconveyed to a, field -ambulance
dressing station, where their wounds
were tended. Potts was invalided
home at once, and while en route to
England received the news that he had
been awarded -the great prize so dear

angrier he got, the more firmly she in-
sisted that he was feverish and cho-
leric, and that alight diet was the
thing for him, with nothing solid or
heavy or rich. In fact, his diet grew
daily lighter and lighter. First, dough-
nuts disappeared from his breakfasts,
then flapjacks and cake, from his sup-
pers, finally even meat from his din-
ners—and at that he gave in and en-
listed.
He proved to be a good soldier, who
was never sick, and recovered with
unusual rapidity, from the two honor-
able wounds that he received. Owing
to his littleness and leanness and to a
gradual leaking out of the story of
how he came to join the army, he bore

TELLS TALE OF TORTURE.
Belgian Girl Says Most Terrible Tor-
ture Was Inflicted on Youth.
A young Belgian lady, the daughter
of wealthy parents, who for over
three years has suffered at the hands
of the Germans in Belgium, and who
succeeded in escaping into Holland,
whence she journeyed to London;, has
related her experiences ' to a repre-
sentative of the Central News.
The girl was arrested as a spy
because she had written letters to her
sweetheart, who is serving in the
army, and 'sent to prison for three
months. e
"I had to work from seven o'clock
in tate morning until nine o'clock at
night, and tolerate the most abusive
insults,", she said. "A very large
number of my friends were arrested,
including a young man. The Ger-
mans did all in their power to induce
him to speak, promising him a' free
pardon if he would implicate others.
The man resisted all their persuasive
methods, and they inflicted the most
terrible torture. Then he was tried
and sentenced to death. Belgians
sentenced to death ,have the right to
appeal to the Kaiser, and this young
man made the appeal.
"We learned later that the reply
was: `If he will speak his life shall
be spared; if not then he must die.'
The .day before he was taken out to
cell decorated ith"
die he was putina w,
the most costly
and given
food -to eat. Everything was done by
the Ger
mans
..to persuade h
irli to
speak at the last moment, even when.
he was standing before the firing
party he viastold it was not too late.
Although only a mere youth of
twenty-one years, that brave fellow
died for Belgium without uttering 'a
word which would give the enemy any
information."'
,Experience has shown that for most.
crops land which is ploughed' in the
autumn, gives better returns than that
which is not ploughed until spring.

consisting of a mother and her

HIS SMILE.
He wasn't rich as dollars go,
Fie didn't have a pile of dough,
He didn't .own a motor car
He couldn't often travel far,.
He couldn't dress in costly style,
He just possessed a kindly smile.
He had a happy sort of way,
Knew how to work and how to play;
And he respected women fair
And dealt with men upon the square,
Aud people thought 'him much worth
while -
Because he had a kindly smile,
You do not need a store of good
The love of real friends to hold;
Be honest, hey, and :kind,•and true,
And do the work you find to do`
Win openly and not by guile,
And folks will like you for your smile.

'When food lies like lead-in the stom-
