After a long Intermission came an
other outburst from Dellarme's men,
which she Interpreted as the responee
to another rush by the Grays; and this
yelping of the demon was not that
of the hound after the hare, as In
the valley, but of the hare with his ]
back to the wall. When It was over
there was no cheer. What did this
mean? Without warning to her mother
she bolted out of the kitchen. Mrs.
Galland sprang up to follow, but
Minna barred the way.
"One Is enough!" she said firmly,
and Mrs. Galland dropped back lnt«
her chair.
In the front rooms Marta found
havoc beyond her imagination. A por
tion of the celling bad been blown out
by a ehell entering at an up-stairs win
dow; the hardwood floors were lit
tered with plaster and window-glass
and ripped into srli"»"> , s in places.
But she hurried on, impelled by she
knew not what, through the dining
room, ai:u, . veranda,
stopped short, WK.I t. laliug eyes and
a cry of grievous shock. Two of his
men were carrying Dellarme back
from the breastwork, where they had
caught him in their arms as he fell.
They laid him gently on the sward
with a knapeack under his head. His
face grew whiter with the flow of
blood from tho red hole in the right
breast of his blouse. Then he opened
his>lips and whispered to the doctor:
"How is it?" Something in his eyes,
In the tone of that faint question, re
quired the grace of a soldier's truth
in answer.
"Bad!" said the doctor.
"Then, good-by!" And his head fell
to one side, his lips set in hie cheery
smile.
His company was a company with
his smile out of its heart and In its
place blank despair. Many of the men
had stopped firing. Some had even
run back to look at Mm and stood,
caps off, backs to the enemy, miser
able in their gr;?f. Others leaned
against the parapet, rifloe out of hand,
staring and dazed.
"They have killed our captain!"
"They've killed our captain!"—still
a captain to them. A general's stars
could not have raised him a cubit in
their estimation.
"And once we called him 'Baby Del
larme,' he "was so young and bashful!
Him a baby? He was a king!"
"Men, get to your places!" cried the
surviving lieutenant rather hopelessly,
with no Dellarme to show him what
to do; and Marta saw that few paid
any attention to him.
In that minute of demoralisation the
Grays had their chance, but only for a
minute. A voice that seemed to speak
some uncontrollable thought of her
own broke in, and it rang with the au
thority and leadership of a mature of
ficer's command, even though coming
from a gardener in blue blouse and
crownless straw hat.
"Your rifles, your rifles, quick!"
called Feller. "We're only beginning
to fight!"
And then another voice in a bull
roar, Stransky's:
"Avenge bis death! They've got to
kill the last man of us for killing him!
Revenge! Revenge!"
That cry brought, back to the com
pany all the fighting spirit of the
cheery smile and with it another spirit
—for Dellarme's sake! —which he had
never taught them.
Straneky picked up one of several
cylindrical objects that were lying at
hia feet.
"He wouldn't use this—he was too
soft-hearted—but I will!" he cried,and
flung a hand-grenade, and then a sec
ond, over the breastwork. The explo
sions were followed by agonized
groans from the Grays hugging the
lower side of the terrace. For this
they had crawled acrose the road In
the night—to find themselves unable
to move either way and directly under
the flashes of the Browns' rifles.
Feller's and Stransky's shouts rose
together in a peculiar unity of direc
tion and full of the fellowship they
had found in their first exchange of
glanceß.
"You engineers, make ready!"
"Hand-grenades to the men under
the tree! That's where they're going
to try for it—no wall to climb oyer
there 1"

FLY CONTEST NETS
.5 MILLIONS OF PEST
Civic Club's Efforts to Rid City of
Disease Spreader Brings
Results
WINNING FLV TRAP
This is a picture of a homemade fly
trap with which the Civic Club fly con
test prize was won. It is 18 by 30
inches high; takes two 18-inch barrel
hoopes for the ends of the cylinder
which is made of 30-inch fly wire, *>2
inches long. The cone requires a
piece of fly wire, 1# by 38 inches,
cutting a circular edge with a 19-inch
radius and tacking the circular edge
to the inside of one of the 18-inch
barrel hoopes. The open end of the
cylinder is closed with a barrel stave
and the open edge of the cone with
a strip of wood. The trap is then
covered with cheese cloth and held
in position with a third barrel hoop.
The trap is stayed with three barrel
staves and raised from the ground
with three short legs.
By MABEL CROMSE JONES
The Harrisburg Civic Club has
every r« ison to be, proud of its fly
swatting campaign that ended on Sat
urday.
Many New England cities, Cleve
land, Washington, D. C„ many towns
of Texas aind of Kansas, as well as
various other places, have had simi
lar campaigns that have been run
either by the municipal government
itself or by the municipality in con
junction with some woman's club.
Such contests have, of course, been
abel to offer large prizes, some being
as high as $250 for the largest num
ber of dead flies turned in, and such
contests have aroused the attention of
many college students who have taken
part in the fray. So far as can be
learned, however, from a rather ex
haustive search of civic records, the
local contest just ended netted greater
result* than any other similar cam
paign conducted solely by a woman's
club without municipal aid.
Between 700 and 800 pints of dead
flies were taken to the committee for
measurement, or a total of 5,651,000
flies. Had they been allowed to live
they would have been the progenitors
during this present season alone of
6,663,805,870,000,000 flies—enough to
keep every housewife busy. Then, too,
every one of those quadrillions of
pests would have laid eggs to the
number of several hundred that would
have hatched out early next Spring.
The increase would have gone on in
geometrical ratio and the number by
a year from now would have been too
huge to grapple with.
Winner Has 181 Pints
Harry Lowe Sieginund, who won
the first prize, is only 9 years old, but
he was anxious to have a bicycle so
that he got into the contests to some
purpose. He brought in 181 pints of
(lies, the greatest number ever brought
In by any one contestant, though he
expects to have more next year if such
a thing be possible. While Harry lives
in Camp Hill, his flies were strictly
Harrisburg flies, being etught outside
butchering places and similar spots
that are apt to attract the jests. He
followed the directions of one of the
experts on the subjec, who advis-s he
placing of traps outside of houses
and stores so that the breeding places
may be denuded. Harry's trap was
homemade, costing just 40 cents, and
being about tlie size of a sugar barrel.
It was baited with decaying matter.
Other successful competitors were
Mary Blair, 321 Hamilton street, 82
| pints, and it looked for a while on
Saturday as if Mary would get first
prize, as her amount exceeded by ten
pints the largest yield turned In at any
former contest. John Kindler. 230
North street, had 66 pints; J. D. Cook,
1108 Capital street, 62 pints; William
Reiehert, 517 Woodbine, 61 pints.
These were the prize winners, the first,
prize being a five-dollar gold piece;
teh second, a two-and-a-half dollar
gold piece: there weer also three one
dollar prizes. ,
Contestants Do Hood Work
Many of the other contestants did
remadkably well and in any other con
test would have borne off a prize. All
of the young people received, of
course, 5 cents a pint for their flies
aside from the prizes awarded, so that
the. first prize winner came in for
something more than sl4.
Harry Kreidler, who won the first
prize a year ago, had 5 3 pints this
time and had good reason to expect
a prize, but there were so many ahead
of him that he only won his 5-cents
a-pint money. Elsie Frederichson,
who was also a prize winner once with
28 points, presented 29 pints this
time;, but while her 28 pints was suffi
cient once to win her first prize, her
29 pints this time did not win any. Of
course, there were many who had only
a few pints, but as there are 7,000

the question of financing the evan

"Th<! conditions upon which Dr.
Stough enters any field are a big fac
tor in making such campaigns prac
ticable and possible. Dr. Stough comes
here in November absolutely without
a guarantee of a single dollar in the

agree.ment entered Into by the local
committee is that the last Sunday of
