This Is'her itoi.v. In i earllei Installments slip told of the hardships of her childhood, of the i brutalities of her man led life and ' the lenllratlon of her wish to be come a soldier. She told of bat ties fought and won and, of the demotalbatioii of the aiim after the overtlitow of the Oar It w.ts to shame the men Into action Wial the battalion was formed, but it was onl pat tlall and for a time suc cessful. When nt last the men of their own arm foiced the bittalton to disband, IlotcliUni ea. sick and wounded, leturned home. She was summoned to Petiosiad bv officers who weie disgusted vith the Bol shevist government and sen' on an important mission to General Korni lov. She stJi ts on her way dis guised as a Sister of Mercy. AND HERE IT CONTINUES The train moved out, and although satisfied with the first step I was hv no means cheerful as lo my ptospects in tfveievo, tlie Bolshevik war zone Tl;e head of the pattv sat down oppo site me. lie was an unclean, uglv moujlk. I did not encourage him to engage me In ionveiatlon, but he evi dently was totill unavvaie (if mv feel ings In tho mailer. After the piellminai.v questions he epies.sed his stupr'se that T should have chosen such an inoppoituno mo ment to go to Kislovodsk. "But mv mother is ill theie" I lld, "pei haps she Is dvlng now'. It broke her heait when I went to tlie front." "Ah. that's different " he declared moving over to mv side. "ThcJ will pas jou In that case" Fiom an expiesslon of sjinpathy it was not iliflicult for h tn to make an effort at flhtatlou. Ho moved up closer ameven louche 1 mv aim It was n delicate situation I could not well affoid to nntaconi7e him, so I warded off his advances with .1 s.m!lo and a promising look. He tieated me to a good meal, at which the conversation tinned to geneinl conditions He was of couisc. a labid Bolshevik and n I savage opnonent of Kornilov and all officers Mv pait in the convcihation was confined to brief expressions of acauiescence Suddenly ho asked: "Have -v,ou heard of the Women'? Death Battalion?' Mv heart thumped violently. "AVhat battalion did you sav ?" T asked with an air of ignorance "Why Botclikaieva's Battalion!" he replied in a positive mi'" "Botchkareva's." ' I d remlnis-' cently. "Oh, suie I'.j ..ueva, vs I heaid about her" "The ' She is .1 lvoii.!lovl.a." he exclaimed "She is fot tlie old leglme." "How do vou know'." I asked "I thought she was nonpartisan." "We know them all, the counter levoluitlonists! Sho is one of them," mv rompanion delcardd emphatically "Well, there is no more Battalion of Death, anjhovv. and Botchkareva has appatently vanished." I suggested. "Yes. we know how they vanish Many of them have vanished like that Kornilov had vanished, too. Then they all pdp un hero and there and cause tiouhle," lie enlightened me. "Xow what would you do to her If sho showed up here'.'" I dared to iji quire. "Kill hei. She would never leave here alive, vou can bet." lie assured me "Wo have the photographs of all the leading counter-revolutionaries, o thaj thej can't hide their identities If caught." Tho conversation took a more satin factory turn for me. I learned all about the plans pf the Bolshevik force against Kornilov. The arrival af the train at Zverevo put an end to my association vv 1th the fellow. I thanked him very much for all his favors to me. "You know, sister," he unexpectedly addressed me before parting, "I like j ou. Will ou marry me?" This I didn't anticipate. It rather took me aback. He was such an awful-looking, dirty creature, and the proposal was so ludicrous that it was with difficulty that I mastered my de sire to litugh. Thia was no place for f unmaking, however. "Yes. with pleasure," I responded to ills offer, with as much graclousness as I could command, "but after I see mv mother." Ho gave me his- address and asked me to write to him, which I promised.

The saving in cost price is made possible through the elimination of from 600 to 700 parts, most of them from the unsprung portions the axles, driving gear, etc. Note the illustration. That means less tire wear, greater gasoline mileage and less wear and need for adjustment, repair or replacements. Exclusixtely Stewart Such simplicity is not matched in other trucks? Its value is best seen in the low operating costsand particularly in Stewart's unmterrupted operation. That in fact is even more important than any thing else. '"Stewart owners place absolute re liance in their trucks. They know they can be depended upon. That accounts for their use by more than 200 ' lines of business in 27 different countries. In Five Years No Stewart Has Worn Oat And the first fifty built are still rendering un interrupted economical service. Some have fleets'of from five to fifty Stewarts.

Stewart service stations are well stocked with spare parts. Competent men for needed service are always available. Are You Now Getting Truck Efficiency? If you now operate trucks, check over what their operation is costing you. Perhaps at the saving you make in buying a Stewart, you can better afford to make a change.
