Four-Point-Seven ha. stopped sinking and was now lying foi lornly on one side with the muzzle an the breech near the ground, so nea: that men could load her while on thei) knees. To any one approaching over the primitive road the gun and the sic! and wounded were alike invisible : thousand yards away, “Prop me up‘ here against this stone)’ continued the Heutenant, “and be smar: about it, my lads.” He smiled as he gave the order. “That’s the ticket, sir!’ exclaimed Harry, with a grin. “It’s as good as'a pantymime.” ’ “It makes a first rate chair, sir—the stone for a back an’ the soft earth for a seat,” commented Jock “when they had helped the-Heatenant to a sitting posture, “If you'd like-an armehair . can get you a couple of ‘stones to put your elbows on.” “No, thank you; I want. my elbows free,” answered the lieutenant. “Give her a bit of a lst to port, if you can. Just a touch up with that handspike. There; that’s enough. Now she has an uninterrupted view from her one eye of the roadway. Now, if all's tight, make yourselves scarce in the ditch here.” Jock and Harry, exhausted witb their labors, did as they were ordered. The Heutenant crawled from his stone support and stretched himself upon dis back near the gun, the lanyard of which he held, ° ‘If they do come past us," he murmured, “we shall be ready to receive ‘em.

They are coming in a bee line for us.” He raised himself on bis elbow and looked. The column came on, solid, resistless, it seemed, straight for the spot where Four-Point-Seven and the remnant of her crew were hidden. It was like a wall advancing. Banners Were waving, and the men were crying excitedly. Those who were first among them kept stopping to examine the road, in which the footmarks of the retreating force were clearly seen. They came om like a huge pack of hounds keen on the scent and having the quarry almost ,visible. The mass came nearer. Reeder saw that the entire column was in the direct line of fire of Four-Point-Seven, that a shot or shell must bere a lane down the very middle of the mass and that a bursting shell must deyastate the forces. He fell flat on his face and pulled the lanyard.’ There were a crash and a hiss from Four-Point-Seven. At the same. instant there were appalling cries and another crash, the sound of the bursting shell. Reeder, Jock and every sailor who could -meve rose up to mark what Four-Point-Seven, had done. , “They run, they run!’ cried Reeder. “It's doubled ‘em up!

Hurrah!” he cried, wayIng.his hand. The effort was too mu:h for him ‘and he fainted. When he came round he saw that a marine artillery officer from his own ship was bending over him, offering him liquid from his water boitle. “You murdering young man,” snid the gunner in deep admiration. “They 1} have to call you the ‘plow’ in future Why, you pretiy well wiped a regifn eit out with that shot.” “Good old Four-Point-Seven!” said Reeder. “I always knew she'd do wv well. She'll be a credit to us all fo: . long enough yet if we can ouly get ber out of the mud.” “You are wrong there,” sald the gun ner. “She'll talk no more.

Here comes the stretcher chaps for yon--you have the honor t: be the last te go.” A couple of marines got the lieuton ant upon a stretcher and marched off with him. When they were some hun dred yards away they halted. Reeder turned and looked. Jock, from a neigh boring stretcher, looked too. They saw a cloud of smoke in which } were dark fragments. Then’they heard Notice oTapaye Notice is hereby given that the Second Installmentof Taxes Will Become Delinquent Monday, April 25th at 6 o'clock P, M. _——— Five per cent. will be added to all Taxes remaining unpaid after the above named time.

Just a touch up with that handspike. There; that’s enough. Now she has an uninterrupted view from her one eye of the roadway.

They are coming in a bee line for us.” He raised himself on bis elbow and looked. The column came on, solid, resistless, it seemed, straight for the spot where Four-Point-Seven and the remnant of her crew were hidden. It was like a wall advancing. Banners Were waving, and the men were crying excitedly. Those who were first among them kept stopping to examine the road, in which the footmarks of the retreating force were clearly seen. They came om like a huge pack of hounds keen on the scent and having the quarry almost ,visible. The mass came nearer. Reeder saw that the entire column was in the direct line of fire of Four-Point-Seven, that a shot or shell must bere a lane down the very middle of the mass and that a bursting shell must deyastate the forces. He fell flat on his face and pulled the lanyard.’ There were a crash and a hiss from Four-Point-Seven. At the same. instant there were appalling cries and another crash, the sound of the bursting shell. Reeder, Jock and every sailor who could -meve rose up to mark what Four-Point-Seven, had done. , “They run, they run!’ cried Reeder. “It's doubled ‘em up!
