26.The Clarksville, Tenn., Leaf Chroni­

cle has the following to say about the appearance of Princess W atahw a­so mr th a t c ity :

The appearances of the Princess W atahwaso was a distinctive and picturesque performance. One’s im­agination was led to see the disabl-

w arriors going to rejuvenating w aters, the beads and wampum, they offered in superstitious reverance to

god of w aters and now long since gathered together by sacrileg­ious hands. There still breathes through long years the effervescence of sp irits in the Indian lore and the Indian will long be remembered as the m ost picturesque of all savage nations. There has always been a sense of peculiar strangeness in the m arvelous effects of the Indian’s music, some of their voices heard separately would be intolerable, but together i t is a th ing of beauty,. There is abundant melody in Princess W atahwaso’s voice. She possesses the distinctive race tra its . One re ­g rets th a t the Indians have -renounced the picturesque heritage of costume fo r American clothes, so becomingly dressed was W atahwaso, the Princess, in her ‘Penobscot’ tribal dress. H er f irst song was from the Cadman suite, “The Thunderbird.’ She responded to an encore, Lehrman’s ‘Cockoo,’ very charmingly. H er thanks, given in Indian language, made a g rea t hit.”

The Liberty Loan campaign in this village and township will s ta r t with a vim and snap next Monday morniqg. The organization of the various com­m ittees has been moving along a t top speed and everything is now in readi­ness fo r the dash the salesmen will m ake next week to a tta in the goal set for them of $150,000, by the Wayne county committee. Chairm an Coello Hamilton and his assistan ts have left nothing undone to m ake the cam­paign thorough and system atic. The captains of the e ight team s have their instructions as to their te r r i­tory, etc., and the members of the various team s a re only w aiting the word to go over the top. Plymouth citizens responded nobly in the first campaign several m onths ago and they will do i t again. Every citizen in the village and the surrounding rural d istric ts will be asked to buy a bond.

Th(f Plymouth public schools will comply with Governor Sleeper’s^jiro- clam ation th a t Monday, October 15th, be observed as P atrio tic Day. The proclamation asks th a t the lig h t of liberty shine from every school build­ing o|i th a t evening. I t has been de­cided th a t this would be an opportune tim e fo r the citizens of this d istrict to inspect their new building. Every­body is cordially invited to come and take this opportunity to go through one of the finest school buildirfgs in Michigan. Don’t fo rg e t the date, next Monday evening.

Red Cross Headquarters in High School Building

The officers and members of t h i Plymouth Red Cross Branch have ap­preciated the kindness of C. A. Fox, whose generosity has m ade possible the use of the house a t 164 Main s tree t for Red Cross work. Now th a t cold w eather is se tting in the society is again fo rtunate in th a t the school board has kindly offered the use of certain rooms in Plymouth’s fine new school building. Owing to lack of equipment, these rooms were not to be used for school purposes th is win­ter, and i t is indeed fine th a t a t this critical tim e such splendid accommo­dations a re available for the very im­portan t work of the Red Cross.

The divisions are m eeting a t the new school building on th eir respect­ive afternoons, and the work is go­ing ahead a s usual, with one except­ion. No Saturday work will be done a . Red Cross headquarters. This because the workers desire as much as possible to assis t fuel con­servation, and have accordingly a r ­ranged th a t all work will be done during the five school days of the week. The Thursday division, under the direction of Mrs. Robert Mim- mack, and the Friday division in charge of Mrs. H arry C. Robinson will h e reafte r m eet together on Thursday afternoons. From now on the Saturday division, under the direction of Mrs. A lbert Gayde, will m eet on Friday afternoons.

Owing to the perfect organization and the most commendable fa ith fu l­ness of the ladies a very large am ount of work is being turned out; and although -th e discontinuing of the Saturday arA ngem ent is some­w hat of a handicap, i t is believed th a t the new arrangem ent will eventually work out to the satisfact­ion of all concerned. (See report of the sosiety ’ work in another col­umn of this issue.)

Public Invited to Inspect ’ New School Building

Woman’s Literary ClubThe first m eeting of the W oman's

L iterary Club fo r the year 1917-18, was held a t the home of Mrs. E. C. Leach, la s t F riday afternoon. Thirty- nine members and two visitors were present.

The m eeting was called to order a t the regu lar hour, w ith the president, Mrs. R. E. Cooper, presiding over the business session. Two new members were taken into membership. The chairm an of divisions, Mrs. G. H. W il­cox, gave some helpful hin ts as to the year's study. The response to roll call was “Your idea of service.”

The program in charge of the first division, was given as follows with Mrs. W illiam R attenbury as leader:

F irs t number, music on the Edison, “Home Sweet Home, the W orld Over.” Then followed a piano solo w ith en­core, by Mrs. L. A. Thomas. As the study fo r the coming year is “The Im m igrant as Seen Through his own L iterature ," the ladies fe lt th a t they were fo rtunate indeed in. having Rev. Joseph Dutton of Howell, to address them. Mr. Dutton is a student of this subject and handled it in a capable m anner. He confined his ta lk to the lives and w ritings of three immi­g ran ts, who have helped to m ake America, viz.: The g rea t Dane, Jacob A. Riis and h i s . book, '“The Making of an Am erican;” Edw ard A. Steiner and his book, “W ith the Cur­ren t;” “The Promised Land,” by Mary Antin. He also spoke of the g rea t Russian w riter, Count Leo Tolstoi. The program concluded with a vocal solo and encore by Mrs. F. F. Ben­nett.

Mr. Dutton was given a r ising vote of thanks for his splendid talk , and a t the close of the m eeting all present declared th a t if all the m eetings of the year were as profitable as the first one had been, g rea t good would be gained.

THE PLYMOUTH MAIL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12. 1917.

CHAPTER XXII.—15—

Jimmy Wallace Throws a Bomb.I t was about eleven months afte r

Itose had watched Rodney walking de­jectedly away Into the rain that Jimmy Wallace threw Ids bomb.

Every year he mode two profes­sional visits to New Y ork; one In au­tumn. one In the spring, in order that he might have Interesting m atters to write about when the local theatrical doings had been exhausted. From his first spring pilgrimage afte r Rose's disappearance he came back wearing a deep-lying and contented •mile, and a few days later, a fter a talk over the telephone with Rod­ney. he headed a column of gossip about the theater with the following p aragraph :

“Come On In,** aj> the latest of the New fork revue* la called. Is much like all the others. It contains the same procession of specialty mongers, the same cacophony of rag-time, the same gangway out Into the audience which refreshes tired busi­ness men with a thrilling worm's-eye view of dancing girls' knees au nature!. And up and down this straight and narrow pathway of the chorus there Is the custo­mary parade of the same haughty beau­ties of Broadway. Only In one Item la theVe a deviation from the usual formula: the costumes. For several years past the revu«s at ths theater (the Columbian) ha vs been caparisoned with the decadenl colors and blsarre designs of the exotic Mr. Grenville Melton. I knew there had been a change for the better as soon as 1 saw the first number, for these dresses have the stimulating quality of a healthy and vigorous Imagination, as well as a vivid decorative value. They are exceed­ingly smart, of course, or else they would never do for a Broadway revue, but they are also alive, while those of Mr. Melton were Invariably stclcly. Curiously enough the name of the new coatume designer has a special Interest for Chicago. She Is Doris Dane, who participated In “The Girl Upstairs" at the Globe. Miss Dane's stage experience here was brief, but nev­ertheless her striking success In her new profession will probably cause the forma­tion of a large and enthusiastic "I-knew- ber-when" club.

Jltnmy expected to produce an effect with it. But what he did produce ex­ceeded his wildest anticipations. The th ing came out In the three o’clock edition, gnd before he left the office th at afternoon he had received over the telephone six Invitations to din­n e r; three of them for tlm t night. He declined the first two on the ground of nn enormous press of work inci­dent to his fresh return from a fort­night In New York. But when Violet Williamson called up ami said, with a reference to a previous engagement tlmt was shamefully flctltous: “.Jimmy, you haven’t forgotten you’re dining with us tonight, have you|? I t’s Just us, so you needn’t dress,” he answ ered:

“Oh. no. I’ve got it down on my cal­endar all right. Seven-thirty?”

Violet snickered and said : “You wnltj—Or rather, don't walL Make it seven.”

Jimmy was glad to be let olT that extra half hour of waiting. He was impatient for the encounter with Vio­let—a state of inind most rare with him. Lie meant to wring.all the pleas­u re out of it he could by wuy of re­venge for Violet’s attitude tovvunj Rose afte r her presence in the Globe chorus had become known—for tluit biting contempt which was die typical a ttitude of her cluss.

Violet said, the moment he ap­peared in the drawing room doorw ay: “John made me swear not to let you tell me a word until he came In .,lie 's simply burbling. But there’s ' one thing he won't mind your telling me. and that's her address. I'm simply per­ishing to write her a note and tell her how glud we were.”

Jimmy made a little gesture of re­gret. He'd have spoken too, but she d idn 't give him time.

“You don't meun,” she cried, “that you didn 't find out where site lived while you were right there in New York r

John came In Just then, and Violet, turning to him tragically, repeated. “He doesn’t even know where site lives!”

“Ob, I'm a booh, L know.” said Jim ­my. “But, a s l told the other five . . . ”

Violet frowned os she echoed, “The e th e r five—what?”

Jimmy turned to John Williamson with a perfectly electric grin.

“T he other five of Rose Aldrich’s friends—and yours,” he said, “who called me up this afternoon and Invited me to dinner, und asked for her ad­dress so that they could write her notes and tell her how glad they

- were.”John said “W hoosh!”—nil but upset

a chair, and slummed It out of the way in order to Jubilate properly.

Violet stood looking a t them thoughtfully. A little Hush of color waa coming up Into her face.

“ You two men,” she said, “a re try­ing to act as If I weren't in th is; os If I weren't Just as glad a s you are, and hadn 't os good a right to be. John here,** this was to Jimmy, “has been gloating ever since he came home with the paper. And you . . . Did you menu w e by tlw t snippy little thing you said shout theT-koew-ber-wben clabT Weil, you'll get your punishment. There's d inner! But you won't be u Ho wed m e a t You’ll have^o begin a t the begin- nbtg.snd tell ds sji about her.**

Jimmy, his effect produced, his loog- m rdltated vengeance completed by the t a r e of color he'd seen come up in Violet's cheeks, settled down seriously t s the telling of his tale, stopidng oc­casionally to bolt a little food Just be­fo re h is piste-w as snatched away from fchn, but otherwise w ithout interuita-

He*d suspected nothing about the i th a t opening night of

On fa,” until a realisation of

how amazingly good they were made him search Ills program. The line “Costumes by Dane” had lighted up in his mind a wild hurmise of the truth, though lie admitted it hud seemed al­most too good to oe true. Because the costumes were really wonderful.

He cast about, he said, for some way of finding out who Dane really was. And, having learned that Gulbraith was putting on the show a t the Casino he looked him up.

Galbraith proved a mine of infor­mation—no, he was more like one of those oil wqlls technically known as a gusher. He simply spouted facts about Rose, and couldn’t be stopped. She was his own discovery. He’d seen her possibilities when she designed and executed those twelve costumes for the sextette in “The Girl Upstairs.” He'd brought her down to New York to act a s his a ss is ta n t Site worked for Gal­braith the greater p art of Inst season. Jimmy hud never known of anybody having ju st th at sort of Job before. Galbraith, busy with two or three pro­ductions a t once, had put over a lot of the work of conducting rehearsals on her shoulders. He’d get a number started, having figured out the maneu­vers the chorus were to go through, the steps they'd use, and 3 0 on, and Rose would actually take his place; would be in complete charge of the re­hearsal as the director’s representa­tive.

The costuming last season had been a side issue, a t the beginning a t leust. but she'd done part of the costumes for one of his productions, and they were so strikingly successful tliut Abe Shuman hud snatched her awuy from him. a

“The funny thing is the way she does them,” Jimmy said. “Everybody else who designs costumes ju st draws them : dinky little water colored plates, and the plates arc sent out to a com­pany like the S tar Costume company uod they execute them. But Rose can't draw a bit. She got a mannequin—not un ordinary dressm aker’s form, but a regular painter’s munnequln—with legs and made her costumes on the thing; or a t leust cut out a sort of pattern of them in cloth. But somehow or other, the designing of them and the execu­tion a re more mixed up together by Rose’s method than by the orthodox one. She wanted to get some women in to sew for her, and see the whole Job through herself; deliver the cos­tumes complete, und get paid for them. But it seems tlmt the Shumans. 011 the side, owned the S ta r company und raked off a big profit on the costumes Glut wuy. 1 don't know all the details.1 don't know tlmt Galbraith did. Bu: anyhow, the first thing anybody knew. Rose Imd financed herself. She got one of those rich young bachelor wom­en In New York to go luto the thing with her, and organized a company, and made Abe Sliuman un offer on all the costumes for 'Come On In.’ Gal­braith thinks thut Abe Shuman thought she was sure to lose a lot of money on it and go broke, and that then he could put her to work a t u suiury, so he gave her the Job. But she didn 't lose. She evidently muile

chunk ou^ of It, aud her reputation at the same time.”

Violet wus immensely thrilled by this recital. “Wou’t she he perfectly wonderful,” she exclaimed, “for the Junior ieugue show, wheu she conies buck!”

Jluimy found nn enormous satisfac­tion In saying: “Oli.-she'll he too ex­pensive for you. She's a regular rob­ber, she says.”

“She says!” cried Violet. “Do you mean you've talked with her?"

“Do you think. I’d have come back from New York without?” said Jimmy. ■'Gulbraith told me to drop In a t the Casino tlm t same afternoon. Some of the costumes were to he tried ou, and •Miss Dune’ would be there.

“Well, und she came. 1 almost fell over her out there lu the dark, because of course the auditorium wasn't light­ed ut all. I'll udinlt she rather took my breath. Just gluuciug up a t me, and then peering to muke out who l was, and then her fuce going ail alight with that smile of hers. I didn't know " h u t to cull her, und was stammering over a mixture of Miss Dane und Mrs. Aldrich, wlien she laughed und held out a hand to me and said she didn't remember whether I’d ever culled her Rose or not, bu. she'd like to hear someone cull her that, and wouldn’t I beginF

Jimmy explained there hadn’t been any chance to talk much. “The «-os- tuiues begun coming up on the stage Just then (on chorus girls, of course), dnd she was up over the runway In u udnute, talking them over with Gnl- hrnitlL When she'd finished, she ciuiie down to me again for u minute, but It "-ns hardly longer than thut really. She said she wished she might see me again, but that she coulUu't ask me to come to the studio, because lr was u perfect bedlam, und that there was no use asking me to come to her apart­ment, because she was never there herself these days, except fo t about' seven hours a night of the hardest kind of sleep. If I could stay around till her rush was over . . . But then, of course, she knew I couldn’t.”

“And you never thought of asking her,” Violet walled, “where the n|iurt- m eat was, so that the real) of us, tr we were In New York, could look her up. o r w rite to h e r from hert»r

“No,” Jimmy told. “ 1 never thought of asking for herfaddresa. But it’w the easiest thing to th e world to gut, Cull up ltuduuy. H* knows.”

“W hat makes you think he know sFViolet demanded.

“Well, for one thing,” said Jimmy, “when Rose was asking for news of ull of you, she sa id : T hear from Rod­ney regularly. Only he doesn’t tell me much gossip.’ ”

“Hears from him !” gasped Violet. “Regularly!” She was staring a t Jim ­my in a dazed sort of way. “ Well, does she write to him? Has she uiude it up with him? Is she,coming back?”

“I suppose you can Just hear me asking her all those questions? Casu­ally, la the aisle of a theater, while she was getting ready for a running Jump into a taxi?”

The color came up Into Violet’s face again. There was a maddening sort of Jubilant Jocularity about these men, tlie looks and almost winks they ex­changed. the distinctly saucy quality of the tilings they said to her.

“Of course,” she said coolly, “if Rose had told me tlm t she heard from Rod­ney regularly, although he didn't send her much of the gossip. I shouldn't have had to ask her those questions. I’d have known from the way she looked and the way her voice sounded, whether she was writing to Rodney or not, and whether she meant to come back to him or not; whether she was ready to make It up if lie was—all that. Any woman who knew her at all would. Only a man. perfectly in­fatuated,..grinning . . . See if you can't tell wliat she looked like and how she said it.”

Jimmy, meek again, attem pted the task.

“WelJ,” he said, “she didn’t look me in the eye and register deep mean­ings or anything like that. I don't know where she looked. As fa r as the inflection of her voice went, it was Just as casual as if she’d been telling me what she'd had for lunch. But the quality of her voice Just rlchened up a bit, as If the words tasted good to her. And she smiled, ju st barely, as If she knew I’d be staggered and didn’t care. There you a re! Now Interpret unto me this dream, oh, Joseph.”

Violet’s eyes were shining. “Why. i t ’s as plain,” she said. “Can’t you see that she’s just waiting for 1dm ; that she'll come like a shot the minute he says the word? And there he Is eat­ing his heart out for her, and In his rage ehnrglng poor John perfectly ter­rific prices for his legal services, when all he’s got to do Is to say ‘please,’ lu order to be happy.’’

CHAPTER XXIII.

Rodney Get* a Clear View of Himself.It was Rose herself who began this

.correspondence with Rodney, within a month of her arrival In New York.

If Rodney had done nn unthinkable th ing; If he hud kept copies of his let­ters to Rose, along with her answers.

“You Two Men . . . Are Tryingto Act as If I W eren't In on Thia.”

In a chronological file, he would have made the discovery th at the stiffness of those letters had gradually worn away and th at they were now a good deal more than mere pro forum hulle-

5. There had crept Into them, so subtly and so gently that between one of them and the next no striking dif­ference was to he observed, a friend­liness. quite cool, but wonderfully firm. She was frankly jubilant over the suc­cess of her costumes In “Come Un In.” and she Inclosed with lier letter a com­plete set of newspaper reviews of the piece.

It was a week Inter that she wrote: “I met Jam es Randolph coming up Broudway yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock. He’s changed, somehow since 1 saw him la s t; as brilliant us ever, but rather—lurid. Do you sup­pose things are going badly between him and Eleanor? He told me he hadn't seen you forever. Why don’t you drop lu on h lm F

It was quite true th at Rodney had seen very little of the Randolphs since Rose went away. When it cumt* to, confronting his friends. In the knowledge tlmt they knew! thnt Rose had left him for the Globe chorus, he found thut Jam es Randolph was one he didn’t care to fnce. He knew too much. I-le’d be too Infernally curious, too full of surmises, eager for experi­ments.

But Rose’s letter put n different fnce on the m atter. The fact th at she’d put him. partly n* least. In possession of what she hail observed and what she guessed, gave him a sort of shield against the doctor. So one evening about nine o’clock he slipped out and walked around to the new house which Bertie Willis had built for Eleanor.

Rodney reflected, a s be stood ut the door a fte r ringing the bell, thnt bis own bouse was quite meek and conven­tional alongside tills. Bertie-had gone his lim it

T he grin which his reflection afford­ed him wus still on Rodney's lips when, a servant having opened the door, be found himself face to fuce.w tih the a rch itec t Bertie, top-con ted and list in hand, w as waiting for Eleanor, who was coming down th e s ta irs followed by a m aid w ith her carriage-cuut H e

returned Rodney's nod pretty stiffly, as was natural enough, since Rodney's grin had distinctly brightened up a t sight of him.

Eleanor said, ra th er negligently: “Hello, Rod. We’re ju st dashing off to the Palace to see a perfectly exquisite little dancer Bertie’s discovered down there. Site comes on a t half past nine, so we’ve got to fly. Want to come?”

“No.” Rodney said. “I came over to see Jim . Is he a t home?”

The maid was holding out the coat for Eleanor’s arms. But Eleanor, at Rodney’s question, ju st stood for a second quite still. She wasn’t looking a t anybody, but the expression lu her eyes was sullen. “Yes, he’s a t home,” she said a t la s t

“Busy, I suppose,” said Rodney. Her Inflection had dictated this reply.

“Yes, lie’s busy,’’ she repeated ab­sently and In a tone still more coldly hostile, though Rodney perceived tliut the hostility was not meant for him. She looked around a t Bertie.

“Walt two minutes,” she said, “If you don’t mind.” Then, to Rodney, “Come along.” And she led the way up the lustrous, velvety teukwood stair.

l ie followed her. But, arrived at the drawing room floor, he stopped. “Look here,” he said. “If Jim 's busy

“Oh. don’t be too dense, Rodney!” she said. “A mnn has to be ’busy' wlien lie’s known to lie in the house and won't entertain his wife’s guests. Go up, sing out who you are, and go right in.” She gave him a nod and a bard little smile, and went down­stairs again to Bertie.

Rodney found the door Eleanor had indicated, knocked smartly on it. and

nc out a t the same time, “This is Rodney Aldrich. May I come In?”

“Come in, of course,” Randolph called. “I ’m glad to see you.” he mill­ed. coining to meet his guest, “but do you mind telling me how you got in here? Some poor wretch will lose his job, you know, if Eleanor finds out about this. When I'm in tills room, sacred to reflection and re­search, it’s a first-class crime to let me be disturbed.” I t didn’t need Ids sardonic grin to point the sa tire of his words.

Rodney said cu rtly : “Eleanor sent me up herself. I didn 't much want to come, to tell the truth, when I heard you were busy.”

“E leanor!” her husband repeated, “1 thought she’d goue out—with her poo­dle.” -

Rodney said, with unconcealed dis­tas te : “They were on the point of go­ing out wlien I came In. T ha t's how Elennor happened to see me.”

With a visible effort Randolph re­covered a more normal manner. “I'm glad it happened that way.” he said. “Get yourself a drink. You’ll find any­thing you want over there. I guess, and something to smoke; then we'll sit down und have an old-fashioned talk.”

The source of drinks lie indicated was a well-s^pcked ceilnrette ut the oilier side o r the room. But Rodney’s eye fell first on n decanter and siphon on the table, within reach of the cLidr Randolph Imd been sitting in.

“I don’t believe I want anything more to drink just now,” Rodney sahl. And. as lie followed Rodney's glance. Ran­dolph allowed liimself another sardonic grin.

The preliminaries were gone through rather elaborately; chairs drawn up and adjusted, ash-trays put within reach; cigars got going satisfactorily. But the talk they were supposed to prepare the way for, didn't a t once be­gin.

Randolph took another stlffish drink and settled hack Into a dull, sullen ab­straction. Finally, for the sake of say­ing something. Rodney rem arked: “This Is a wonderful room, isn't it?"

Randolph roused liimself. “Never been in here before?" lie asked. “Well then, here's two more rooms you must see."

The first one. opening from the study, explained Its purpose a t a glance, with a desk and typewriter, arid filing cabi­nets around the walls. “Rubber floor." Randolph pointed out, “felt ceiling; ab­solutely sound-proof. Here's where iny stenographer sits nil day. ready— like a fireman. And tills." he conclud­ed. leading the way to the oilier room, “Is the holy of holies."

It had a rubber floor, too. and. Rod­ney supposed, a felt ceiling. But Its only furniture was one chair and u canvas cot.

“Sound-proof too.” said Randolph. “But sounding boards or something In r " tile walls. I press tills button, start a -dictaphone, and talk In any direc­tion. anywhere. I t’s nil tnken down. Here’s where i ’111 supposed to think, make d isc o v e r s and things. I tried It for a while.” /

They wen^ bnck into the study “Clever beasts, though—poodles." he

remarked, as he nodded Rodney to Ills chair and poured himself another drink. “Learn their tricks very nicely. Blit, good henvens. Aldrich, think of him as a mnn ! Think what our Amer­ican married .women a re -u p against when they want somebody to play off against their husbands and have to fall bnck on tired little beasts like thnt. Elennor doesn’t mean anything. She's trying to make me jealous. T hat's her newest experiment. But It's downright pitiful. I say."

Rodney got up out of his chair. It wasn’t a possible conversation. “I'll be running nlong. I think.” he said. *Tve a lot of proof to correct tonight, and you’ve got work of your own, 1 expert.”

“Sit down again.” said Randolph sharply. “I’m Just getting drunk. But thnt can walL Tin going to tujk. Tve got to talk. And If you go. I swear I’ll call up Eleanor’s butler and talk to him. You’ll keep it to yourself, anyway." He added, ns Rodney lies! rated. “I want to tell you about Rose. I saw her In New York, you-know."

Rodney Rat down again. “Ye*" he ra id “so she wrote. Tel! me how she looked. She’s been working tremen­dously h a rd and I'm a little afraid she’s overdoing It."

“She looks.” Randolph m id very de­liberately. “a thousand years old." He laughed at the sharp contraction of Rodney's brow*. “Ob. not like th u t! She’s a s beautiful as ever. H er skin’s still got that bloom on It., and she srill flushes up when she smiles. She’s l«*t five pounds, perhaps, bur that's Just condition. And vitality! But a thou­sa n d y e a rs o ld j u s t th e sau ie ."

*Td like to know w hat you mean bythnt,” said Rodney.

“Why, look here." Randolph raid. “You know what a kid she was when you m arried her. Schoolgirl! I used to tell her things and she’d listen, all eyes—holding her b rea th ! Until I felt almost as wise as she thought I was. She wus always game, even then. If she started a thing, she raw it through. If she said. "Tell it to me straight? why, she took It, whatever It mightbe. standing up. She wasn’t afraid of anything. Courage of innocence. Be­cause she didn 't know. Well, she’s courageous now, because she knows. She understands—I tell 'you—every­thing.

“Why, look here! We all but raa into each other on the corner, there, of Broadway and Forty-second s tree t; shook hands, said howdy-do. If I Imd a spare lmlf-hour. would I come and have ten with her here a t the Knicker­bocker? She’d nodded a t two or three passing people while we stood there. And then somebody said. ‘Hello. Dane,’ and stopped. A miserable, shaboy, shivering little painted thing. Rose sai<l ‘Hello’ and asked how she was getting nlong. Was she working now? She said no; did Rose know of any­thing? Rose said. ‘Give me your ad­dress. and if I can find anything I’ll let you know.’ Tin' horrible little beast tol<. ner where she lived and went away. Rose didn’t say anything to me, except th at she was somebody who’d been out in 0 road company with her. But there was a look In her eyes . . . ! Oil, she knew—everything. Kneww hat the kid was headed for. Knew there was nothing to be done about It. She had no flutters about it. didn't pull a long fnce. didn’t, ns I told you, say a word. But there was n look in her eyes, somehow, th at understood and faced—everything. And then we went in and had our tea.

“I had a thousand curiosities about her. I’d have found out anything I could. But It was she who did the find­ing out. Beyond inquiring about you, how lately I’d seen you. and so on. she hardly asked a question: but pretty soon I raw tlmt she understood me. She knew what was the m utter with m e; knew what I'd made of myself. And she didn't even desplRe m e !

"I came back here to kick this tiling to pieces, give myself a fresh start. And when I got here. I hadn't the sand. I got drunk Instead.” He poured himself another long drink and sipped slowly.

“Everybody knows,” he Raid a t Inst* “that down-and-outs almost Invariably take to drugs or drink. But I know why they do.”

Tlmt remark stung Rodney out of his long silence. During the whole of Ran­dolph’s recital of his encounter with Rose he’d never once lifted his eyes from the gray ash of his cigar. He didn’t want to look a t Randolph, nor think about him. Ju st wanted to re­member every word he said, so that he could carry the picture away Intact.

ENGLAND NOW CHEWING GUM

RODE HORSE, PAID FOR IT WITH LIFE

Foreigners for Years Refused to AdoptAmerican Product, but Situation

Suddenly Has Changed.

For a great ninny years American chewing gum m anufacturers have en­deavored to teach foreign countries to appreciate their product. The stuff' thnt wags the American Jaw has been advertised assiduously 'n France. Eng­land mid Germany, but with small success. The nnn-Amerlcmi couldn't understand It. lie tried to swallow It. and when lie couldn't lie gave it up ns Incomprehensible nonsense. Over In Ixmdon. where It was called “Ameri­can Chewing Candy.” ninny shops called attention to It. but the British­ers passed it by and went on buy­ing toffee anil lollipops and Turkish delight.

Suddenly, and without wnming, the situation has changed. Remarkable figures recently published appear to in­dicate that England 1ms Incontinently 1 eeonie a nation of gum chewers. M anufacturers report that within six months they have Increased their monthly sales from 3.000.000 to 2 0 .t>0 0 .- 000 sticks. And the English n Avspn- pers cannot understand it.

The explanation seeins simple. It Is said that the largest amount of chew­ing gum Is used In the army, anil the nexl largest amount in the navy. Dur­ing the last great advance. 1: wns Is­sued ns nn army ration. Somehow or other the so filers filscoveml that It) steadied their nerves to have soniej thing to chew on In time of stress^ and of course it lias the effect of keeping the parched th roat moist.

“I wouldn’t take five hundred dol­lars In cash for the good four bottle* of Tanlac did me.” said J . M. Mallory a well-known farm er of Stonewall Georgia, a short time ago.

“For forty-five year 1 suffered al­most every day,” he continued, “and was so crippled up with rheumatism that I had to hobble around on crutches. My knees were so stiff 1 could hardly bend them and often 1 have been so weak that I have had tc take to my bed for weeks at a time. More than half the time I couldn't do any work. I hnd indigestion nnd stom­ach trouble, too, and my hack hurt so bad that I couldn't lay on my left side a t all.

Hello Profanity.The rule is strict against using pro­

The manager noticed that “wrong number” call* were frequent, nnd he or­dered the “hel'o” girls to call each digit separately and to Insert, the word “dash” afte r each one. The meth«Hl was slow, hut the climax was reached when a Lynn man was In n hurry to get a Boston newspaper office. He called for “Boston 3000” nnd heard a sweet voice at “central” s a y : "Bench three, dash, oh, dash, oh, dash, oh, dash.”

That nettled the Lynn mnn nnd he called o u t:

When the men of the National Army nre located In the training cumps they begin to look for letters from relatives and friends,. There Is a friendly ri­valry among them In the m atter of numbers of letters ami curds received- Ahotut the easiest and most agreeable thing we can do for those we know Is to drop an occasional line or so

The men a re kept busy and do not find It always easy to get mail off; also they are sometimes dilatory. It is a good idea to address envelopes nnd

j cards, enclose writing paper in the en- J velopes and stam p them. Mail a pack­

age of this ready-addressed stationery to the hoy in camp and nil he has to do Is to write and seal the envelope ready for mailing, or merely write his message on a ready addressed post card.

Another convenience for the men In cantonments is an inexpensive, small portfolio, made of linen or khaki. It Is nhout nine Inches wide and fifteen inches long, with pockets on one end for stationery stamps, cards, nnd for three blotters, one above the other, fastened a t the corners, on the oth**r end. At the center there are two loops, made of narrow straps of linen, to hold the pen nnd pencil. The blotters make n writing surface, thus Serving a double purpose. Even ink can be car­ried now in small sticks to he dis­solved In water when needed. This portfolio is a simple affair, easy to make and very convenient. A leather portfolio may he taken as a model.

It takes an instinct for dress or an educated taste to make the most of the separate skirt.

Beautiful color combinations. In broad and narrow stripes, and original methods In making are found in the new separate skirts for afternoon wear. Some very handsome plaids are among them but stripes afford better opportunities for the designer. A fine example of what may be done with them appears In the picture above. Taffeta, In black, old blue and white stripes, laid in wide plaits makes a skirt that can afford to dispense with any cost of trimming. It hangs from a high waistline where three overlap­ping bias folds make a wide girdle ex­tending to the hip. The same fold is laid In the semblance of a poexet at each side finished with a row of small black, silk-covered buttons.

There Is a wide range of color com­binations to choose from in the striped and plaid silks and satins shown in the shops nnd they promise an in­creased vogue for handsome separate skirts. Blouses to be worn with these skirts, are most effective when made of the same shade as one of the colors In the mnterial. For Informal dress such a costume m erits consideration

DR. MAURICE I’EN FI ELD FIKES

Fred W. Rapp of Winona, Ind., Advance Man and Men’s W orker for the Fikes Evangelistic campaign, a r ­rived in Plymouth las t week, and un­der his direction a strong organiza­tion is being perfected to lead in the big campaign, which opens here Sun­day, October 21st. Campaign head­quarters have been established in one of the office rooms over the Plymouth & North vide Gas Co. office, and from this central office the g rea t campaign of the Christian forces in Plymouth will be directed.

The general committee, consisting of the pasto r and one laym an from each co-operating church m et last

I Sunday afternoon and organized, with W. J. Burrows as chairm an; S. L. Bennett, vice chairm an; A. J . E. Torre, secretary ; and the treasu rer to be appointed by the Finance Commit­tee. The chairman -of the standing committees are also members of the General Committee.

Dr. Maurice Penfield Fikes, who is to lead in the g rea t community cam­paign, will arrive in time for the open­ing meeting, a week from next Sun­day, and will b ring with him a tra in ­ed corps of expert assistants. The local committee are convinced th a t no stronger man could be secured for the platform than Dr. Fikes, who has refused calls to three of the largest churches in the country, paying sal­aries around $10,000, and are looking for the same satisfactory results th a t have followed his work in every place where he has worked.

Miss Parker, the Women’s W orker, is an expert in her line, having been with the world renowned evangelist, Dr. Torrey, and it is expected th a t before she has been in town a week the woman and children will all love her.

j The music and chorus work, under . the direction of William F. Baird of Winona, Ind., will be one of the big

^features of the campaign. A t 'm eeting of the Music Committe, of , which Fred B ogart is chairm an, it was decided to organize two choruses of seventy-five voices ’each, to serve on alte rna ting nights, and the one hundred fifty singers for these two choruses a re already being signed up. Applications for reservations in the choruses m ay be made to Mr. Bogart,

, E. V. Jolliffe, C. H. Rauch or a t the .Campaign headquarters over the Gas office.

| The Neighborhood m eetings, which ;are being held in all sections of the jtown on Tuesday and Friday even- 1 ings, began w ith encouraging indica- I tions this week. Reports from the j Tuesday and Friday evening m eetings show th a t over 150 people attended

.these m eetings and a g rea t in terest jwas m anifested. “Look For the j W hite F lag” is the slogan fo r these I neighborhood gatherings, a white i flag indicating the place of meeting. | Eleven m eetings will be held this j evening, from 7 to 7:30 and everyone is invited to follow the white flag in

, his neighborhood.

Ypsilanti City Buys25 Carloads of Coal

The city of Ypsilanti has purchas­ed • twenty-five carhmds of hard coal since Septem ber lfflth. Twelve car­loads have been turned over to the local coal dealers, a t invoice cost and the dealers distributed it, add­ing only a minimum m argin of profit for handling. The city means

hold ten carloads for future emergency. When it is received it will be stored, and will be draw n up-

only when occasion demands. The Ypsilanti Record explains the the coal situation there as follows:

Local dealers have found them ­selves unable to ge t hard coal. Thi3 is explained from the fact th a t the jobbers and mine operators can se­cure a premium by selling to other than contract dealers, so their avail­able supply goes elsewhere. P ur­chases made by the city were made a t a premium. The coal bought figures about $8.35 a ton and 70c for hauling and handling the cost topping $9.00. I t w as the under­standing of the city, in turn ing over its nvoices to local dealers thstt citi­zens be given the benefit of the low­est possible price and $10 per ton was fixed upon.”

The wedding is the culmination of a school-day romance which su r­vived their college years and is now become a fixed p a rt of existance for these two. I t was understood by their friends th a t they would wed a t some fu tu re day, but when they came to face the prospect of parting for years and possibly forever the young people decided they would join fortunes a t once, for whatever of weal or woe m ight aw ait them.

WOMEN AT WORK IN ENGLAND

Not Fewer Than 420,000 Are Employed in Munition Factories Alone,

Says French Writer.

Baroness de Brimont offers In the Revue de Paris figures for the num­ber of women employed in England which she affirms she has verified by reference to official sources. No few­er than 420.000 are in the munition fac­tories ; 210.000 are employed in con­nection with army and navy camps or establishm ents; 140,000 in stores;120.000 in secretarial w ork ; 111.000 lu garm ent making; and 100,000 in taans- portation, or in metal shops not en­gaged In munition making.

Below the hundred thousand mark the totals, beginning with nearly 90,000 engaged in agriculture, run down to10.000 women engaged In the printing

and binding trades. Not fewer than amillion are engaged In war-work. Es­tim ates made some time ago by w rite rs ' like Mrs. Humphry Ward, indicate that the Frenchwoman’s computation Is conservative.

The baroness, and a commentator In L’Oplnlon, point out th at the partici­pation of women in industry in France in consequence of the w ar is less ex­tensive. Not only the totals show i t; the breadth of the English movement Is Indicated by the -unparalleled strength of organizations like the Na­tional Union of Woman W orkers and woman police, and its solidity by the more national working basis—the week helnf shorter than in France, Stmday more^nflexlbly observed, and rest-pe-

It is a country store, located in an excellent farm ing and dairy country, only a few miles from Plymouth.

JACKSON CITY IS PLACED UNDER BAN

ENLISTED MEN AT CAMP CUSTERARE ORDERED TO KEEP AWAY

FROM WET TOWN.

CLASS TRAINING IS STARTED

More Advanced Men Are Being Given Special Instructions— Lower

Classes Follow Routine.

Lansing.Jackson has been placed under the

baa of the authorities of Camp Cus­ter Enlisted men are forbidden to visit the town by an order of Gen. Dlckman. though special, passes for “exceptional cases*' will be granted “to reliable men.”

No reason for the barring of men from Jackson is given, but it is under­stood that the city is undesirable be­cause it has saloons. The sta te vice committee has also indicated Jackson Is a bad place for soldiers

The text of the order follows: "Or­ganization commanders will publish an order forbidding enlisted men of their commands from visiting the town of Jackson, Mich., without permission, and all men apprehended in Jackson by the military police or who are known to have been there in viola tion of orders will be promptly brought to trial Permission to en­listed men to visit Jackson will be granted only in exceptional cases, to reliable men for business reasons, in which cases written passes will be given."

S tart Training in Classes.Separation of the sheep from the

goats has begun at Camp Custer.The 33Sth infantry has started to

train the men by classes this week.They have been spilt for training

purposes into three classes: A, or ad vanced; B. good, and C, the backward men For the class A men there are three hours of special instruction di­vided between ea rly . morning and a ft­ernoon. Class B follows the schedule as issued by the war department, while class C will be held to the school of the squad until it knows them. The two lower classes will be advanced gradually.

For the class A men the most Inter­esting work is the special bombing and bayonet instruction.

There will also be signal classes, re­vetting classes, where the men are shown the, methods of supporting the sides of the trenches to keep them from caving in.

Except lor the three hours’ work, the men follow the regular schedule. This does not provide for anything startling.

Four hours of next week will be al­lotted to night wofk. and two hours to trench construction, but much of It is merely the repetition of work gone over under the la3t two weeks’ sched­ule.

Seniority Rule Done Away With.Promotion by seniority is done away

with in .the .Michigan National Guard While it is In the federal service pro­motions a r° lo b° made because of •fitness and capacity" only.

This news, in a war department bulletin just published a t Camp Me. Arthur. Waco. Texas, is soothing tc- several 31st officers, who. because of i.he breaking up of the regiment, lost their seniority. Furthermore. It sets at rest the rumor th at thete would be no promotion of guard officers above the rank of captain. The new regulations provide for all officers up to colonel.

While the officers of the old 31st have settled down In the 125th and 126Mi and are devoting their entire a t­tention to learning and teaching the new m ilitary game, some of the men have not so adapted themselves, espe­cially (nose of |the companies that were split up. Requests for transfers are coming in numbers, as comrades were separated by the breaking u p 'o r Ihe companies In one Instance, three b o th e rs found themselves in different organizations and are now trying to get together.

Custer Men Buy Liberty Bonds.The first drive in which the men

of Camp Caster are taking part is the Liberty Loan campaign

Orders were received from W ash­ington instt je ting m e division staff to organize the lorces into teams, to create enthusiasm with speakers and competition, and to urge every man to help swing the big loan by taking a bond.

The raer. are told that tbeir sub- scriptibn3 are purely voluntary and (hat no action Is required of them. Despite this the natural competition which springs up between companies and regiments and between this camp and other cantonments, will resu lt m a big subscription.

Coal Shortage 1,500,000 Tons.Michigan needs approximately 1,-

500.000 tons of coal, both hard and soft, according to figures issued by the s ta te coal committee, which has been securing data from the coal dealers throughout the s ta te Comparing last year’s receipts for (he full year and the amount received so far this year, anthracite shipm ents are short 501,000 tons, while on the same basis the soft coal shortage Is 1,0(46.000 tons De­troit’s anthracite shortage is fixed a t225.000 tons.

Court Affirms $35,000 Damage Award.In affirming the decision of the Lena­

wee case of Leo Guy vs. the Cincinnati Northern Railroad Co., the Michigan supreme court established a new high water mark in awards In person­al Injury cases. Guy, who was em­ployed in the yards oLthe road a t Hud­son. was terribly injured in an accident January 18. 1914, and the jury in the circuit court awarded him damages to the extent of $35,000. which was ap­proved -by the suprem e court. Hereto- ore the largest award was $17,000.

;

Custer Expects Negro Troops Soon.It is understood th at the next .In­

crem ent of drafted men going to Camp C aster will include enough Negroes to form one regiment and an overflow, j Some 3,000 colored boys are expected ; from Wisconsin and Michigan and if enough of them are left afte r the ex- j aminations to form (be neuclus for a [ second regiment. Negro selects from one or two other states may be brought In to fill out the ranks

Negro troops will be commanded by Colonel Frye, but will be officered by commissioned men of their own col­or who will come from the Des Moines training camp.

Battl8 Creek’s Negro population piaus to look after the selected Ne­groes as nicely as the war recreation board is looking afte r the white se­lects. Three Negro lodges, Masonic, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias, will h a re a joint m eeting as soon as they a re told when to look for the boys and will make elaborate plans for entertaining teem.

Custer Men Will Be Made Officers.New ambition and hope for officers'

rank has been aroused in the breasts of Camp Custm soldiers.

This was caused by definite an­nouncement by the war departm ent of officers' training camps to train pri­vate soldiers for commissions.

The schools will be opened Jan 15. One will be opened in each division of the regular army, the National Guard and the draft army. This means that a school will be located a t Camp Custer, or that one will be opened nearby for Camp Custer men.

Any private between 21 and 40, a m em ber,of the regular army, the draft army of the National Guard, will be eligible for the officers' schools In addition, about 3,000 college men will be received.

Camp Cu-.ter will be entitled to send about 1.7 per cent of her enrollment, or 700 men, to the officers' school.

This will be only the beginning of Camp Custer's contribution to the officers of ihp land forces. When the army of 3,000.000 is finally trained it must have 150.000 officers. Camp Cus­te r’s quota will be upwards of 5,000.

Of course, many ccntingents will have come and gone in Camp Custer before the arm y of 3.000.000 is afoot, and her 5,000 officers have tied their gold-and-black hat cords. But already a definite chance of honors is offered the national army men.

Work On Heating Plants Rushed.W ork on the heating plants a t Camp

Custer is being rushed but final com­pletion Is not expected till November 1st.

All heating pipes which run from building to building are carried on- poles. high In the air. It was neces­sary to adopt this course, in order to complete the installation before win­ter sets in. A vast amount of coal will be necessary to feed the boilers, owing to the wastage of heat, but this was the lesser of the-tw o evils, and the plan was chosen by the engineers for that reason.

In the meantime most of the bar­racks. during the cold spell, have been uncomfortably cold. During the day the men did not suffer. The evening hours following their return to their barracks, however, were the ones when ♦hey felt the chiU. The result was that the Y M. C. A. buildings, which are heated, eniryed more than their usual patronage.

Five hundred stoves, which had been ordereJ in anticipation of a cold snap, are being installed. The stoves are wood-burning sheet-iron affairs, capa­ble of producing a large volume of heat. There is more than enough fuel to keep them all going until the steam plants are in operation.

Sewage Disposal Plants a t Custer.Kalamazoo. Galesburg. Augusta and

other towns lying below Battle Creek on the Kalamazoo river, which have been wondering what effect Camp Custer's sewage might have on their health, can now breathe easier for the war departm ent has ordered immedi­ate construction of two sewage dispos­al plants, and one of them is already under way, a t the foot of the famous 4x111 over which each of the 40.000 se­lected men of the Eighty-fifth division has to pass.

Each plant is a cement structure 100 by 50 feet, containing eight settling tanks, approached by three channels through which all sewage for that particular end of the camp m ust pass. After being chemically treated the liquid will eventually pass into the Kalamazoo river It will cost the gov­ernm ent $36,000 for this one little item.

CAMP CUSTER NOTES

Mrs. Elizabeth M Custer, widow of General Custer, from jvhom the camp is named, h a 3 sent a portrait of General Cusitfr to the camp as her gift

One thing th at is never seen In camp is an umbrella. It is considered most unm ilitary to carry" one, and in reali­ty there is no real reason for using one when ponchos and slickers are so handy.

The soldiers are up in arm s against the s tree t car company, which is now charging a 15-cent fare lo o r from Battle Creek Formerly It was 10 cents, regarded as sufficient for a four- mile ride.

Several members of the Officers’ Reserve corps, i t has been discovered, are among the selected men here. This wa3 revealed when the surgeon general

,a t Washington requested the discharge of one Detroit man who has been call­ed ta active duty as a second lieuten­an t in the regular army. Discharges fo r‘the others also may be a3ked.

An unofficial list of restaurants, rooming houses and stores a t Battle Creek, which are charging unreason­able prices is being seriously talked cf among certain officer# as a possible means of bringing to time persons who are desirous of getting all the sol­diers’ money as rapidly as possible. The principal complaint is against ‘Some restaarants, boarding and room­ing houses. Not only are prices high. Hut foods are improperly served, it to sold, with a refusal to furnish custo­m ary condiments. This treatm ent will divert trade to Kalamazoo.

by the local board to appear among those who had been drawn to go to Camp Custec.

Alma—Alma college has adopted a rule to the effect that no students will be allowed to continue work who do not pass with honor grades. The ob­ject is to eliminate mental slackers. The faculty believes that unless a per­son can render unusual mental service; his time can be placed to better ad­vantage In military or industrial pur­suits during the war.

Camp Custer—It is expected that 750 men of the new draft array will have been rejected when the weeding out of the first 45 per cent is com­pleted The rejections have been for the most minor of disabilities, defec­tive vision, hearing, heart troubles, flat ieet. Four men were rejected for loss of fingers or for misshapen arm s and shortened legs caused by ill-set broken bones

Sault Ste. Marie—William Ander­son. m ate on the steam er Lewiston, was washed overboard in a heavy northeast gale off Keweenaw point.

M arquette—When the people of Mar­quette woke up Monday morning they found the ground covered with snow. During the day the m ercury dropped to 31 above.

This unseasonable w eather produced two records here, one In amount of Bnow fall and the other for low tem­perature for this time of the year. The local w eather bureau reports th at 2.8 inches of snow fell, the heaviest fall ever reported here up to and includ­ing October 8. The nearest approach to this was October 8, 1891, when 2.2 inches fell. .

The nearest approach to the low tem perature registered up to and in­cluding October 8 in any year since the establishm ent of the w eather bureau here was in October of 1878, when 35 degrees was recorded. The snow storm which h it M arquette around midnight swept over the entire uppei peninsula. In some places snow to a depth of 3.5 to 4 inches was reported. In Ishpeming, a fall of '5.8 was re­ported.

CURB POLLUTION OF AU SABLE

Du Ponts Restrained From Dumping Refuse Fatal to Trout.

Lansing—Papers were sent Monday to Bay City to be served on the repre­sentatives in Michigan of the Du Pont Powder company, restraining them from dumping creosote and o ther re­fuse from their mill a t Grayling into the Au Sable river.

Straight chemical refuse from the mills, as dumped into the Au Sable was brought to Lansing and used as a basis for experiments by the stale •.heinist connected with the state board

of health.This stuff undiluted killed goldfish

in six m inutes; diluted one-half It kill- e i fioldflsh In 18 minutes, and diluted two-thirds, the fish managed to survive almost' an hour.

Saturday night game wardens with acetvlene lamps searched the Au Sa­ble for 10 miles below Grayling and could not find a single trout.

The Au Sable h is been for years Michigan’s greatest trout stream, and as such is known from one end of the country to the other. The killing of its trout is looked upon by the state officials as nothing short of a calamity.

According to the Du Pont chemists, there is no way by which their work can be carried on successfully without the dropping of this refuse which is so fatal to fish life.

FIRST LIBERTY TFUCK READY

Specially Designed Auto for U. S.Army Completed.

Lima, O.—Thq first specially de­signed motor truck for the United S tates army, the product of the great­est motor truck designers of the coun­try and the combined genius of 12 m otor truck plants and 62 automobile parts factories, was completed here Monday.

The standardized machine, of which 35.000 will be turned out In the first half of 1918 for the army, Is said to represent the perfection of automobile truck development. Its motor power is derived from the new Liberty mo­tor, recently perfected at W ashing­ton by war departm ent experts.

The first special army truck was built in the greatest secrecy to protect it from enemy eyes. A building with­out windows and lighted only by sky- liights housed the truck in the three weeks of its construction.

EfttCAN WOUNDED BEING CARED , FOR I I I BIG CHATEAU IN FRANCE

Ambulance Drivers and Aviators Nursed Back to Health by Wife of 1 Wealthy American—Convalescents Play Golf on Chantilly

Links—Chateau Faces the Famous Chantilly Race Course.

Chantilly, France.—In his big cha­teau 'h e re where for more than two- years he bud billeted upon hiui us •gue*ts a dozen French officers attached to the staff of General Jollre. Elliott Fitch Shepard, the American million­aire, has established u convalescent home for sick and wounded American aviators and American ambulance driv- jera.

- Shepard has resided p.t Chantilly alncv the beginning of the war. except during the fleeing visit of the Ger­m ans Just befffre the buttle of theMarne. Then the Shepards drove out of Chantilly toward Paris iu their big touring car 20 minutes before.the first troop of Uhlans entered into Clmn- tllly from SenUs, which they hud just put to the tortfh.

After the buttle of the Aisne, when warfare stagnated Into Intrenched po­sitions, General Joffre selected Chan­tilly as the seat of his Great Heud- qoarters. The “G. Q. G..” as the French abbreviate “Grande Quartier Gene rale.” remained a t Chantilly for more than two years, or up to the time that Joffre was made marshal and Geu- eral Nivelle took his place as com­mander In chief of the French armies in tbp Jield.

’ Turned Over to Refugees.Then came the German retreat to

the Uindeoburg line uud refugees from the devastated region evacuated by

_ the Germans began to pour Into Creil. ^ ^ S e n l l a and Chantilly. Shepard turned

fever the rooms so recently given up ,l»y the officers attached to General Joffre’s staff to the refugees and took 21. under his roof the first night. Grad-

N . ^aally the Freuch authorities shifted the refugees to the south of France, arwi then once more the Shepard home was emptied except for the family.

i t was then th at Mrs. Eleanor Shepard decided to open u convales­cent home for sick or wounded Ameri­can youths serving with the uvlatioo, the Ited Cross or any other brunch of the service. Since she hus started her enterprise Mrs. Shepard hus hud an average of sixteen American youths as her guests at all times. Some have been suffering from wounds—more

ire American ambulance drivers being slain and mulmed by shells

slock their number increases with ev­ery arriving ship. Others have the dread Pin lady known as “shell shock,' when the nerves are literally set on end through being under continuous bom­bardment. In most cases the Illness of the ambulance drivers is traceable directly to nervous Indigestion, caused by the tremendous excitement under which the boys work.

No Preliminary Preparation.For these youths, averaging from

seventeen to tweuty-une years, coiue direct from schools and colleges and go under tire iu the most terrible war the world has ever seen, with no pre­liminary preparation. It is only neces­sary th at they be able to drive motor cars. They have not the military train lug and drilling and inculcation oi discipline which fits the soldier for the life of the trendies.

Mrs. Shepard is aided in her work by her sister, Miss Mercedes Terradell, formerly of Trenton, N. J., who has t>een in France doing war relief work fo r, more than a year. She gave valu­able aid to the French authorities last March, when the refugees were dumped Into Chantilly by administering first a id to the tiny babies who formed a considerable proportion of the motley collection of suffering humanity that the Germans left in their wuke.

“Feeding the boys regulur American food prepared the| way they have been accustomed to haying it ut home Is the principal factor In making them well and strong again,?' said Mrs. Shepard. “Americans are not used to eating the coarse brown war bread which the French use. anti they are not used to living on soup and stew, either. After a boy leaves here. If he has a weak

" stomach, I send him packages of food every week. I send him wheat bis­cu its that he can eat instead of the w ar bread, and rice und preserved vegetables that we put up here our­selves, und occasionally, when there is an automobile going up to the part of th e front where they a re stationed, we

_ can send them fresh meat and poul- A try.”W Take Up Golf.

The Shepard chateau faces the Chan­tilly ruce course, und Just behind ll a re the Chuntilly golf links. Shepard he* plenty of clubs und near all of the ! convalescents learn something about j golf before they are considered well enough to be discharged uud go back , to their posts at I the frout. [

RKrhttrd M. Atwater, 3d, of Scars- ] dale, "the youngest member of the

'-American field service—he is just six- : teen—has Just left Chantilly to re- ! torn- to the front with his ambulan'-e I section. Jumes | Norman Llill of Col-

in - attached to the Lafayette Es- codrilFe, who was wounded by muchlne ; gun bullets wli^n fighting a German j biplane near Leas, hus Just gone back J to bike up flying again a fte r conva­lescing at Chantilly. C. Wyuiun Steele of EasthumptonJ L I., has returned to

. the United Stntes after spending sev­eral months with the Shepards, follow­ing his discharge from an army hos­pital. Lester B| Schelde of Hartford.

Conn., and Russell Nichols of Bran­ford, Conu., are now Lu the Verdun sector with their ambulance a fte r “tak­ing the cure” ut Chantilly.

Won the War Cross.Murcel Cuny. a French youth of the

Two Hundred and Seventy-ninth regi­ment, who lived in Cluiutilly before tile war, whs also a guest of the Shep­ards a fter he had captured a German machine gun and six German prisoners single-handed in the fierce fighting ulong the Chetnin des Dames. Cuny is Hot yet twenty years old and had Just been sent to the front when he performed the act of gallantry winch won him the War Cross with a star and a palm on the ribbon. Cuny crawled out in “ No-Mun's-Lund" ut night on reconnaissance duty und found a shell hole between the two belts of barbed-wire entanglements, oc­cupied by the six Germans who were acting us u machine gun team. Cuny was urined only with grenades, and as he squirmed forward on his stomach to 'tlie edge of the crater und raised u bomb to throw In among the Bodies, they nil six raised their bunds und cried, “Knmerade."

Cuny ordered them to the French lines and made them carry their ma­chine gun with them. He took the six steel German helmets off to Chan­tilly—he was granted nine days leave for his bravery—and gave them souvenirs to the American ambulance boys recuperating there.

ENGLISH CHEER BATTLE HYMNJulia Ward Howe's Classic Received

Enthusiastically In London Concert.

London.—An American surprise was sprung on the fashionable audience at the opening of the annual series of so- called “popular concerts,” which for a generation have been a weekly fea­ture of the musical season in London. The soloist of the afternoon was Miss Carrie Tubb, perhaps the most popu­lar of native English prlma donnas. In response to the customury demund for an encore, she sang with splendid dram atic effect the famous “Battle Hymn of the Republic” When the first notes of the piuno accompaniment tinkled out there were some smiles among the audience, who knew the nlr principally ns used by the Salvation anny to carry a religious song In Its open-air meetings. But the Intense fervor of the singer swept all before her. and the song was heard in breath­less silence nnd hailed with enthusi­astic applause.

ROBBED AS SLEUTHS WATCH

TEN RULES FOR DISLOYALISTS“German Efficiency* Applied to Pro­

motion of Traitorous Propaganda at Least Personal Risk.

Pro-kalser and untl-war propagan­dists reveal their lack of “German effi­ciency" In the frequency with which they get themselves pummeled or “pinched."

In the Interest of more efficiency, the Independent has condensed the methods of the most successful practi­tioners of disloyalty Into ten rules for carrying on traitorous propaganda at least personal risk.

Most of all of these rules so accur­ately describe the arguments .which nearly everybody hus heard from one or more of the traitorous-minded that they are worth frequent perusal. The i rules a re : j

1. Assert on every occasion that ■ "Wall street” made the war. Never j mind explaining when, how or why.

2. Get in all the sneers you can at any profession of ideal motives. If i you can find any flaw in our democ- * racy say that “we are just as bad an autocracy as Germany." Place the war in as sordid a light as possible.

3. It is dangerous to denounce the United States directly. But rake his­tory from end to end for mud to throw at the allies. Especially, twist the lion's tail.

4. Profess great concern lest send­ing food to Europe will starve Amer­ica. Support every embargo movement that applies to the allied nations and none that does not.

5. If the president asks for any ex­tension of power rave about “dictator­ship" and the "overthrow of the.liber­ties for which our fathers, etc."

6. Spread rumors that the allies are going to betray us or take advantage of us as soon as we are deeply enough involved in the war.

7. Accept conscription in principle but hamper its working in every pos­sible way. One good way is to start

^scares about revolutions and internal disorder as a pretext for keeping atarge part of the army at home.

8. Demonstrate that the enemy Is unconquerable and victory hopeless. Play the “candid friend" and act as a depressant.

9. Be very jealoua to prevent “en­tangling alliances” and be much con­cerned about the Monroe doctrine if we “mix ourselves In European quar­rels." A permanent league of nations would embarrass your Junker friends if they remain in power after the war. Germany can only hope to conquer other nations if they act selfishly and in isolation.

10. WHEN DRIVEN TO MAKE AN UNEQUIVOCAL STATEMENT PRO­TEST YOUR LOYALTY AND THEN CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

Cut this out and hand It to the next pacifist or luke-wanu friend who tries to s ta rt an argument.

MILITARY SALUTE A RELIC OF KNIGHTHOOD

Washington.—The military sa­lute had n curious origin. If the tradition brought to light by United States Marine corps offi­cers u ^ th e lr headquarters here may he believed. The navy sol­diers say that the salute orig­inated In the days of the tourna­ment. nt which a queen of beau­ty was chosen to preside. The knights nnd their esquires and nil who took part In the tourney, on presenting themselves before the queen, lifted each one a hand level with the brows as though dazzled by the light of her pres­ence.

Although Its significance hns heen forgotten, ihat same salute Is now used by mHItnry men In recognition of a superior rank, the marine officers say.

CONSIDERED AS GREAT JOKETook Six Years of Agitation to Con­

struct Track Between Columbia and Quaker City—Horses Wer#

Ready to Rescue.

The first railroad train seen in Phil­adelphia arrived a t the head of the Schuylkill Incline plane a t 4 :30 o’clock oa the afternoon of April 16, 1834, af­ter an elght-and-a-half-hour trip from Lancaster. Everybody laughed a t this nine days’ wonder, so sure to be a fail­ure. I t had taken six years of agita­tion to. provide the construction of a single t ra c k . between Columbia and Philadelphia, to connect this city with the canal a t the former place. So lit­tle confidence had the managers in the endurance of the locomotive th at an empty horsecar followed the train with relays of horses a t different points to rescue the party in case the locomotive guve out. They had much difficulty w ith “Black Hawk,” for th a t was the locomotive’s name, and the passengers had to get out and give It a healthy push from time to time.

Desperate Resistance.There had been desperate resistance

to the introduction of railroads throughout the state. There was huge vested Interest in the Conestoga wagons. Hundreds of six-horse teams hauling the immense covered wagons were constantly on the highways, transporting passengers and freight between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and between many other points. Every few miles along our through turnpikes was found the “wagon tavern.” Well- to-do fanners whose homes were on the pike ran a tavern as a side indus­try. These inns, besides refreshment for travelers, had large yards to ac­commodate the team s during the night. I t was a thriving business, and when the proposition to construct railways was seriously urged the wagon drivers and the wagon tavern-keepers made an aggressive fight against the innovation, which would deprive them of so much of their income and their pleasure.

Anti-Railroad Men.Mass meetings were held along the

lines of the turnpikes to protest against railways. It was urged th at they were of doubtful utility. Political orators delivered harangues against the injustice of bringing “an untried experiment” into vogue to “ruin the great Industrial Interests which cen­tered in wagon transportation.” In some Instances United States senators and representatives made these speeches and were elected solely on the strength of being “untl-raliroad men.”

I But the progress of the railroad was so gradual th a t there was no sudden

I and violent destruction of the wagon | transportation interests. The grand j old Conestoga wagons, “prairie schoon- I ers,” died a slow and natural death.

B ut the tavern-keepers who allied themselves with politicians to hold back progress have maintained the al­liance ever since the days when “Black Hawk” came to Philadelphia.—Phila- delpkia Ledger.

PNEUMATIC TOOLS ARE BESTOne Man Can Do as Much as Two

Hand Laborers In Packing Ballast Around Railroad Ties.

W ith the use of pneumatic tools for packing the ballast around rairood ties, as tried by an eastern railroad. It is claimed th at one man can do as much as two hand laborers have done hitherto, nnd the work Is more thor­ough and lasts longer. Each a ir com­pressor Is made to operate four pack­ing tools, which a re driven by rnpid hammer-blows delivered on their up­per end. The operator keeps the tool In contact with the ballast, and the material is thus forced into small spaces not easily reached In hand work. The compressor and Its gaso­line engine are carried on a small car, which is easily lifted from the track nnd replaced. W here the working space is limited, as in cuttings, the compressed a ir may be carried through Iron piping, and it Is found th at the packing tool can be operated with un- dimlnished efficiency from 1,000 to 1,- 500 feet away from the compressor.

MOVEMENT OF FREIGHT CARSIn These Days of Stress Sensible

Thing to Do Is to Use Them Where Most Needed.

The w ar bonrd of the American Railway association has introduced another novelty in railroad operation. I t has ordered the immediate move­ment of empty freight cars from roads where they are not needed to roads which need them, despite own­ership. Heretofore, all attem pt to regulate the movement of empty freight cars has been in the direction of returning cars to their owners. I t was often the case th a t roads would hold cars of other roads to their own use, no m atter how greatly the other roads needed them. I t hus even been charged th at some companies made It a policy to keep down their equip­ment and commandeer the equipment of other companies. The_ sensible thing, of course, in th e s e ^ a y s of stress Is to use the freight cars where they are most needed, regardless of ownership.

TO BUILD ALASKAN RAILROAD

(C o p y r ig h t , 1917, b y t h e M cC lu re N e w s p a ­p e r S y n d ic a te .)

Sleepy desolation settled more thick­ly on the courthouse square a t placid Euclid Comers as the m ercury stead­ily rose in the tube and the county sent sizzled under the' fierce summer heat. Even the few horses hitched out­side the general storejwhlle their mas­ters dawdled on the steps with oljj Zcb Marks, were too lazy to brush aside the flies th at swarmed about their sweaty flanks.

In the old courthouse across the square the county clerk and his single assistant, perched upon their high wooden stools, scrawling nt the docket, bemoaned the fate that kept them there while the summer recess afford­ed some of their more fortunate breth­ren a chance to get away to ' cooler climes. But off In one corner of the old gray building. In a small chamber, rather Imperfectly cooled by a large electric fan. lounged one Individual who seemed to care not whether the rest of the world was sizzling. For be­hind a desk, heaped high with law books, stenographers’ copies, hi u prints and papers of every description, his feet encased In large, roomy p il­fers. nnd resting on the desk before him. a huge silk “kerchief” wrapped about his seamy neck, and an old green eyeshade perched atop his broad, hu­morous nose, old Judge Bates sat drowsily staring a t the printed page before him. his thoughts a far off.

And Into his muslngs. aa if It were a dream, there stole the sounds of the rustle of a womnn’s dress, and sud­denly he turned his head toward the half-opened door, nnd brought his feet abruptly to the floor. For a young, de­liciously cool little apparition In a thin blue frock, revealing a white, rounded throat and a slender, graceful flgflre from the top of her glorious golden head to the tip of her tiny slippers, advanced toward him. a troubled look in her big h 'ue eyes.

“Well, bless my soul!” exclaimed the Judge, kindly, rising nnd extending h*s horny brown paw nnd grasping her slim white hand cordially; “little Ruth Marat on. What brings you In town today?”

“I—came—for advice,” faltered the girl nervously. \

“Well, this lg f l i^ place,” said the other, smilingly. “Here—sit down.” And he graciously brushed the dust from an old arm chair nnd beckoned the orphaned daughter of his old law partner to be seated. “What la the trouble?”

She regarded him a moment In doubt, thep plunged ahead.

“I—er-f\1 —er.” she stammered, nnd he leaned forward and patted her hand reassuringly.

“Go ahead.” he urged. In a kindly tone. “Doh’t be afraid. Ruth. You're Just like m.Amvn daughter. Is It—er— a love affair?”

She stared nnd looked Into his keen eyes before replying.

“Y—yes.” she admitted, blushing fu­riously. “I—wanted to know If I could —that is, can a young m anr-go buck on you whenever he wants to?”

The old Judge whistled.“So,” he exclaimed. “Is that It?

Who’s the feller? Is he—all right. Ruth?”

“I—I don’t know as I ought to tell you.” she continued, “hut I thought maybe I could sue him for breach of promise.”

“W hat!” almost yelled the judge. “A daughter of Srm Mnrston suing a man for breach of promise? Never. My dear girl, where’s your pride? The Idea!”

She dropped her eyes and blushed more furiously limn ever.

“Well. I thought—” she started, then broak’ng Into tenrs. she cried, through clenched hands, “but. judge. I love him so! And I do want him. l ie ’s so fine, so noble. And maybe It’s my fault. He—”

“Come, come,” he soothed her. “Brace up nnd tell me all about It. Breach of promise suits never bring ’em back. Maybe there’s another way. Tell me. wife’s the man? And what’s the trouble?”

“It's John Summers.” she answered brokenly, nnd the Judge Jumped again.

“Not th at 5'oung feller th at’s prac­ticing law over th’ way?” demanded the Judge, Incredu’ously. "W hat Well, see here, he’s a nice boy. Tell me the rest.”

“Well.” she continued, "he was go­ing with me until papa died. Then he started to grow cold. He stopped com­ing to the house, except once In a while, and then he didn’t come a t nil. And—nnd now he’s going with the girl next to us. They moved here from the

city six months ago, ana lie’s boarding a t her house. They’re always together. What can I do?”

The Judge bit an end off his ping o f tobacco and settled back In his cluilr to think. Young John Summers! Why, he was one of the brightest and finest young men that practiced before him. Upright, honorable, always cour­teous to the court and considerate to his clients—what few he had! There was something back of i t But what? For a few moments he shut hi8 eyes,

“See here,” he told her, “you leave this to me. I’ll ’tend to It.”

“But. Judge,” she demurred, gently, “I—I have no right to trouble you— about th a t You—”

“Never m ind!” he Interrupted, run­ning Ills hand contentedly over his broad, bald pate. ”Jes’ leave It to me. Us old fellers don’t have much fun these days. Nothin’ new to Interest us. This here business will give me something new to think about. Now. you jes’ run along, and come back here—let’s see—a week from today, that’s It—a week from today.”

And he settled back again In his chair nnd seemed to he drowsing. She started to speKk. then cheeked herself, nnd, looking at hliii doubtfully, half lovingly, she tiptoed from the room and closed the door.

A clean-limbed young man, with a girl at his side, emerged from the Burns cottage, laughing merrily. They swung down the village street in step, lie carrying a suitcase, and she a lurge box. On the opposite side, from be­hind the wide trunk of an ouk. there stepped a gniy-hulred but vigorous old gentleman, and, staring after them, he shook his flst a t their backs menac­ingly.

“Well, John Summers,” grated Judge Bates between Ills teeth, for It was he who had been watching the house op­posite for nearly an hour. “So, you're Jiltin’ Ruth, eh?” He started to mut­ter something else, when a sudden res­olution Belzed him and he swung across to the watched cottage and rnug the hell.

“Judge Bates!” exclaimed Mrs. Burns In surprise, as she opened the door. “WhaU-brlngs you here?”

“I want to see young Summers.”, he answered, jumping a t an excuse.

“Why, you Just missed him.” an­swered the woman ; “he and Katherine Just left. She’s going back to, the city for six weeks. He’s taking her to the station. You see. Kit’s going to marry John’s brother. He works up In the city. Wanted her to come up and help pick out the furniture.”

Judge Bates stood nnd gasped. She stared nt him in umazeraent, nnd he caught her stare and brought himself back to earth with a bump.

“Can—I—er—would you.” he stam­mered confusedly, “show me his room? I—er—I’d like to see how the young man Is fixed.”

“Why—no!” answered the surprised Mrs. Bums, taken aback at the un­usual request. “Tills way. Judge.”

Judge Bates prowled about John Summers’ room, nnd several times paused nnd took various photos In his hand, then set them down without com­ment. Five minutes Inter he left the house, hut n humorous twinkle hnd set in lhe corners of his keen old eyes nnd there wns n grim set to his lips, ns he ambled buck toward the courthouse.

At Present 136 Miles of Road Between Seward and Fairbanks Are in

Daily Operation.

Of the 460 miles of railroad to be built by the United States government from Seward to Fairbanks, Alaska, 136 miles are now in operation, with daily trains. The estimated cost of construct­ing the 460 miles of road Is $25,642,000. Approximately $1X000,000 will have heen spent by the close of the present fiscal year. A force of about 4.000 men is employed and work bos continued throughout the winter.

It wns early morning, three day* Inter, ns Judge Bates sat across Ids desk from John Summers. For several seconds he hnd stared nt the young man silently, then he broke into speech.

“You’re a funny mlxfnre. Summers,” he wns saying. “You’re a whopping big fool, nnd a durn fine man. I klnda reckoned you was u hit proud. But th’ fool part of It Is—stoppln* speak In’ to n girl jes’ ’cause she’s got money an’ you haven’t. Hang It. hoy. haven’t you got gumption enough to he lookin' for­ward?

W hat’s the m atter with you?”

“But I haven’t hh much ns Ruth hns. Judge.” stubbornly persisted the young lawyer. “And I don’t want her for her money.”

“Stop!” thundered the Judge, bring­ing bis flst down upon the desk. “Stop before I—before this court loses its temper. Now. see here, you proud young fool, God bless you. I’m trus­tee for Ruth’s money nnd her two brothers nnd sister, besides. Now I’m getting too old for th at Job. I t’s about time It went to a younger man. The law allows 7 per cent commission on the estate. That, with what you’ve got now, will he as much as Ruth's goL D’ye see?”

“Yes. but—” John stnrted to pro­test. but again the Judge exploded.

“No huts,” he snapped; “you're ai> pointed trustee for the Mnrston estate —to take effect at once. I t’s—It’s an order of tb 's court. And what's more— ye'll, find Ruth over there In the next room.

The second financial milestone has been reached in the prosecution of the war, to make democracy safe and to make all nations, whether great or small, safe in the enjoyment of their rights on land and sea. A second loan totaling at least $3,000,- 000,000 is offered for public subscription. Money provides the sinews of war; bank­ers, munition makers, manufacturers, farmers, transporters, producers of all classes and financiers vie with each other, cooperate and rival each other, in providing what the necessity of war demands.

Above all these on a distinctly high plane, is the man power of the country, our patriotic young men, in the morning of their lives, selected because of their physical perfection and personal prowess, go to the front to find perhaps a soldier’s grave or a sailor’s rest in the grim old ocean, or to return perhaps broken and maimed to carry the red badge of their sacrifice throughout their remaining years. This is the measure of service rendered to their country by our soldiers and sailors.

We have reached a period when every man of honor must be willing to strain a point to help the United States, and we who are left behind are asked to furnish the funds to finance the war. We are offered a four per cent largely tax-exem p bond of our government—a good security, a good interest return and a glorious cause to be supported by the proceeds. The response of the country shop Id, must and will be spontaneous; the coffers of the treasury must be kept full. Very little sacrifice is involved in buying a government bond.
