THE MODERN FUNERAL " ^

How exalted the dignity of that profession whose members havethe hallowed privilege of composing those lifeless features and mem-bers and making beautiful even in death the clayed casket that onceheld an imperishable jewel—the immortal soul.

How honored that vocation which admits its members into theafflicted home the sanctuary of sorrow.

How noble that calling whose members dread no disease, how-ever malignant in its contagion; who shrink from no service, howeverpainful and repellent it may have been rendered by catastrophe.

Not only skill but character must mark that calling.' He mustbring to his gracious offices respect for tho dead and courtesy, delicacyand sympathy for the living.

"Whereas there are within the State great re-sources that lie wholly undeveloped while theproduction of all things Is dlmlnshed or retardedby distance from markets ; and

"Whereas because our producers and th«consuming publi<: have alike suffered enormouslosses in the last year by transportation shortageand fuilure; and

"Whereas because by reason of these conditionsthe transportation situation constitutes on emerg-ent need ; and

"Whereas a number of States have joinedlu the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater As-sociation, having as Its object the early undertak-ing and completion of this improvement: There-fore be it

"Hesolved by the Senate and House of Repre-sentatives of the State of North Dakota, that theState of North Dakota Is properly associated luthe above-named organization with its neighbor-ing Commonwealths In pressing ta advance thisuiidprtuklng. and that the action of the governorlu so declaring is hereby approved and confirmed,and the participation of this State by the governoreii<) those who represent him in the council ofthese States Is approved;

"Ites-olved, that the representatives of thisStnte in the Congress of the United States berequested to facilitate and expedite in every pos-sible way the prosecution of this undertaking forthe economic freedom of n landlocked continent."

there Is nothing In the plan or scope of the en-terprise which goes beyond well established en-gineering precedent, or calls for constructionsthat are experimental, and regarding whose ul-timate cost there Is any serious doubt; that theopening of this great water-way by canal, canal-ized river, and deepened channel, thereby en-abling a i deep-sea ship to load at Duluth and notbreak open her hatches until she reached Ham-burg, London or Marseilles, Is as certain of beingtaken In hand as It Is that the sun will rise dally.So It aslts: "Why not today?"

Tho project Is an International one. Canada,at Its own expense (about $60.000,000) Is recon-structing tlio Wcllnnd cunul between Lakes Erieund Ontario, In order to give ocean-going shipsaccess to Lake Erie. Thanks to the enterprlwe ofCanada, tho problem broudly reduces Itself tosubmerging certain rapids lying In tho Interna-tional waters of tho St. Lnwrenco river betweenLake Ontario and St. Itcgl.i, and then dealing Ina similar way with that stretch of tho river ex-tending from Ht. IteglH to Montreal. Tho esti-mated cost of tho Internat ional river ImprovementIn $((0,000,000 nnd of thu Canadian river, $M>,000.-000. Tho establishment of power plunt sltcawould entail additional expense.

Lost—A PrivateSecretary

By FREDERICK HART

ass sss. 1921. bjr MoClurfttNewapaptr Syndicate.)

"Mr. Collins 1" The name was acommand—a roar from the Inner office,where Hezekluh Hawkins, senior part-ner of the tlrm of Hawkins & Doollttle,engineers, held solitary sway.

"Yes, sir—right here I" The youngman who spoke these words was pleas-Ing to look upon. He was tall andslender, with light hair and a mouththat seemed' forever to be about totwist Itself Into n grin. But there wasno grin on Ills face as be hurried to-ward the sanctum of his chief. "OldMan Hawkins," as the outer officecalled him, was in one of his tan-trums, and woe betide the employeewho would keep him waiting! Collins,the private secretary, betook himselfto the olllce with all haste.

Hawkins glared at him as he en-tered, but could find, no immediatereason to rage, so he merely raspedoat, "Sit down I" and jerked a letterfrom a pile that lay before him.

"These fresh railroad people areraising the dickens with us on rates,Collins," he growled. "This Is the sec-ond letter I've had from them. Nowwe want the bridge job and we're go-Ing to get it—but It'll be on our ownterms, and not on—ouch I Holy gin-ger I"

"What's the matter, Mr. Hawkins?"Collins was Jolted out of his usual at-titude of patient llstenlng.CJIr. Haw-kins pounded on the desk aEoTTavedaloud.

"Gout's the matter! Don't standthere grinning like on Idiot 1 Do some-tiling 1"

But Edward Collins could think ofnothing to do, and as a result he be-came tlie recipient of a storm of ragethat lij'jde all the other storms he hadwcntlr-^1 pale into Insignificance. Atlast Hawkins, breathless, ordered himout of the room, called for his car,and went home.

The next day Collins received amemo from big employer that caused

"My Foot'* the Matter! It Hurt.lIt Hurt.l"

him to pull n very long fncit. TlientenoKninher nuked him what wan tliotrouble.

"Trouhlel I ' leuty of 111 The oldimin'H laid up w i th Hint Koilt of hl»and I've not to KI> out to hla country|ila<-e ani l help him w l l h hl» work.Holy Hiuokel Tliat'H a iili'ilatint. pron-peclI"

"No, Indeed—I'm awfully Interested.Do tell me some more." And Collinsdid.

Three weeks later the situation wa»unchanged. Thnt Is, it was unchangedas far as Mr. Hawkins* gout was con-cerned, but there was a decided changeIn the affairs of Edward Collins.

Formerly he bad spent his even-Ings reading or wandering over thegrounds alone; but now he seemed tohaunt certain spots. It was a peculiarfact that Miss Evangellne Hawkinswas nearly always near those spots.He was also given to mooning about,and Mr. Hawkins found some causefor complaint In Inattention. It mighthave been noticed. In addition, thathe cherished a withered rose In adrawer of his dresser. Thfs rose hadbeen worn by Miss Evangeline Haw-kins nt a small dance given at thehouse one week-end. She had droppedIt and_ he had picked It up. All thesesigns, of course, mean nothing In par-ticular. "*•

And then one day he lost his note-hook and Miss Evangellne Hawkinsfound it.

An hour after he had discovered hisloss he came upon her in a^Iittie sum-mer house In the garden. She wasreading something—his notebook I Witha sign of relief he approached. Sherose, and smiled at him—a little un-certainly. "Here's your book," shesaid.

"Thank you 1" He was relieved thatshe had found It.

"What neat shorthand you make!"she said.

He blushed crimson. "I—I've had agood deal of practice.*

"Did you know." she said Idly, "Iwent to a school once' nnd learnedstenography? I thought I'd be useful.I can still read It."

The red 'In his face deepened."Let me read some of yours—Fve

been looking It over and I can read Itvery well." She was turning the pagesas she spoke. He became consciousof a wild desire to grab the book fromher hands and flee; but he remainedrooted to the spot.

"Here." she said. " "Dear Sir—Yourletter of the 15th received—I love her.In reply would sny that—she Is thesweetest girl In the world. We areunable to make any other terms thanthose stated in our ias"t communica-tion—Of course, I have no chance, butmaybe ' "

He found his voice. "Plende, MissHawkins, don't torment me. Ishouldn't have done It, I know—Ihaven't any right—but I couldn't helpIt—won't you give me the book "

She handed him the book, and heleft her without a word.

If by "Making the World Christian"the lesson committee means the con-version of the world In this dispensa-tion by the preaching of the gospel,then we submit that they are In error,leading the people Into false hopes.The main t'eit chosen for our studypictures are the glorious coming agewhen Christ shall reign over the wholeearth. Before this will take placeChrist shall come in person and de-stroy the works of the devil nnd bindhim and cast him Into the. pit (Rev.19:11-21; n Thess. 2:3-10).

I The Reign of Messiah the King(Isn, 11:1-12). ,

"No," said the landlady stonily, "I'msure I don'i Jtnow where Miss Fordwent to—some one said she had givenup her position and gone out West toact In the movies, but I'm always bnsyand can't keep track of folks afterthey leave my house. Are you theyoung soldier she was engaged to?"

Dick Reynolds nodded."Yes—you look like the picture shei

had on her bureau. She read that youhad been killed In action and so she.Just got pale and sick and went away.Sorry."

"Thank you," said Dick- as he turnedaway. He wro,te a letter to Marcla,addressed it In care of her old employ,crs, marked It to be forwarded'andwaited. At last after months offruitless waiting and searching hefound a position In Chicago. Nightafter night he went to the movies, hop-Ing for some clew, and then therecame a time when he saw a well-acted screen-drama—and his ownMarcla being kidnaped by a darkvillain In a black evening cloak.

"Ain't U awful 1" shivered a girlsitting next to Dick.

tier companion giggled. "It -looksreal, but -taln't"

Dick found It difficult to believethat the characters were not real withMarcla's face so clear, so "agonized.He saw the villain carry her away Ina black motor car to a greasy lookingtenement, where several .well dressedpeople seemed to threaten her life.

. She had appeared at Intervals In thepiny, nnd while there was a vague fa-miliarity about'her face and even hergraceful walk, he could riot moke upbis mind whether It was his Marcla Ornot. Her face was made up a little,as was his own, and both were partof a grotesque looking company. Someono told him her name—ElizabethJayne—and because he was afraid tohave his dream shattered, he did notpursue the subject further. Then Itdawned upon him that this was thegirl he was to rescue—surely, hewould know then!

He played his part' extremely welland found a strange fascination In thework; the girl looked at himi once ortwice with a faint show of Interest,but the grease paint disguised himwell. Then came the moment whenDick, tlie bad man, was to kidnap thehero's sweetheart. Dick mounted hishorse, dashed up to--the cabin door,shot the hero.with a blank cartridgeand swooping down, gathered thegirl's slight form In his arms anddashed nwoy to the big tree, where hehad been told to await the blare of thedirector's • megaphone. "That wasflne," sold the girl, cordially, as theystopped under the tree. "Set me. down,please." -

"Finding's keeps," grinned Dick,looking her straight In the eyes. "Oh I"she cried, then, "DickI" and she washugging him tightly.

"It's In our? picture," grinned Dickas he rode up to the director. "I Justfound my girl after five years, and—

Man at Post Office Window Literal InObeying Injunction! of Clerk

In Charge.

The stamp clerk at the Grand Cen-tral post office says he has seen manyfunny 'things during bis 15 years atthe window.

A foreign-looking man stepped up tothe stamp window the-other day andhanded the clerk a letter with a 2-cent stamp on It. It was overweight,so the clerk banded It back and said,"Two cents more." ,

"No understan'," snld the man.. "Two rents," repented the clerk."One, two I i Two cents 1" And heheld up two fingers. After repeatingthis several times, the customerseemed to understand and- produced2 cunts, for which he was given an-other 2-cent. stamp. Thereupon hehanded the letter back to the clericand turned to go away.

"Hcrel" called the clerk, "put thestamp on here. It needs 2 centsmore."

"I gceva you two da cent 1" ex-claimed tho man.

"Yes, but put the stamp on' hero."And tho clerk pointed to tho cornerof the letter.

The man's face brightened with un-doratandlng. "Oh I" he said, and lick-Ing; the stamp ho vory carefully stuckIt on top of tho other one.—Now YorkSun.

WITHOUT GASH

By CLAUDIA MAY FERRIN.

(141. 1911, by UoClur« N«w«p»p«r Syndicate.)1 A raise In rent brought consterna-tion to the Butterflelds. The'pair bad,spent a most restful vacation, off at anunpretentious resort where' moneymight be flaunted or withheld at pleas-ure. Allan had staked-his last "V" onthe surety of his being retained as oneof the essentials' at the office.' Sophiaknew she could handle the'housekeep-ing problem ns aflrbltly as many an-other. But here was seven dollars moreto be looked out for twelve times peryear. .-*. ' ' '

'We shall movel'* declared thebread-winner. "I cannot give Mltmlckthe satisfaction of that much moregasoline. Pack up,, while things ar»topsy-turvy from our getting off.'

"But have you money for the vans?"sobbed Sophia.

"Vans—nothing I We'll carry the stuffThere are plenty of tenements two;squares back of us."

"Not Jn thntrhudhole!""Tes—right where the pavement Is

planks and sawdust. But, mind'you,.not In one of Mlnnlck's shanties! I'lllook out for that. I'il hlre'an apart-ment during lunch hour. We'll be set-tled by tomorrow night."

Sophia had been taught, while un-der her mother's eye, to obey the maleside orihe house. Yet, like her moth-er, she cherished her few pet secrets.All that day she busied herself, follow-ing Instructions. When evening cameshe assumed a position at m window,whence she might watch alternatelythe simmering meal and the street.Allan appeared around the corner, lateby five minutes, trundling a wheelbar-cow.

"Whatever are you doing?" she de-manded, meeting him on the landing."Where did you get that?"

"I hired It—for a quarter. One ofthe boys will help balance the stuff.Is everything ready?"

Sophia protested, hysterically. Al-lan swallowed a minimum share ofthe meal awaiting, when he fell tonailing boxes and rolling rugs." "Perry will begin at 6:80 In themorning. One or two more loads to-night, and n finish tomorrow evening—how's that? I'm paying him fiftycents. Th6 whole move costs less thana dollar. Eh, girlie?"

"Be careful of that one, please 1 Tea,It's the heaviest of the lot

"I'll haul It myself," consoled thedevoted one. "Seel That weighs twohundred, I'll wager. I dldn't»know wehad that many dishes.". "It isn't china." But tlmt was oneof her secrets. She turned to a safertopic. "Bettor carry those • mirrors.Couldnlt I take care of the small onetomorrow?"

"Sure I Carry brlc-a-brac all "day Ifyou like. The unlcyclo Is not licensed."

, "The—the—what?"Ho was ready to* accompany Perry

upon the second trip. The heavy boxwutf chosen us tho burden of the hour,Sophia, solicitous to nervousness, rc-monstnitvll until they wore off. Allanbalanced tho unusual weight with tlifcconfidence of an adept.

''Let's go In tho street," suggestedthe boy. "Tim teams have quit, mostof them. Tho curbu ut the crossing uroa lot of bother."

Allan discerned the wisdom of theIdea when ho .essayed to make thosharp drop, off the pavement. Tho con-tents of the box'rattled wurnlngly. Hopaused to rest when tho llrat crossinghad been made. Perry offered to rv-llovo him.

"Think I'd bettor kcop my word," re-minded tho husband. "If I tilt thethliiH tho row will remain In tho fam-ily." ' ,

SOMETHING TOTHINK ABOUT

By P. A. WALKER

HUMAN NATUREIs one .boast that Is pretty

nearly universal. You probablynever met a man or a woman who; If oc-casion gave opportunity, would not saywith considerable show of pride, "Well,I know..human nature."

They mean when they say It thatthey think they can solve the causesof human a'ctlon, .that they can ac-curately point opt the whys andwherefores that Influence our relationsone with another, our acts and our at-titudes. .

Frequently these renders of .humannature will ascribe a questionablemotive for any kind of an act,-good,bad or Indifferent. They would haveyou think that the chief force at workIn the world -Is evil, the commandingpassion selfishness.,

It Isn't true.-There Is a good dealof good In the world.

The great majority of people areanimated and Influenced by highmotives and splendid desires.

The really! bad man or woman Is theexception. . ' .

• \ *' •Human nature ns a whole Is of a

kind that really makes life worth liv-ing. , • ' ' -V

Elihu Burrltt, the learned black*smith, wrote down this wisdom: "Nohuman being can come Into this worldwithout Increasing or diminishing thesum total of human happiness."

After all, the moat of our lives andthe most of our endeavors are to helpIn the general scheme of things.

The corner grocer may be cross andeurty sometimes,'but if you only knewIt he sent a basket filled with thingsgood to eat to the woman down theetreet whose husband Is sick In the.hospital. Human nature In his case Isdominated by 'good.

And as tt Is with the grocer so ItIs with the butcher, the baker and thecandle-stick maker, with the ministerend the sinner, with everybody.

. . « ' • » ' • •It Is a splendid .thing, a'helpful

thing, to seek the good side of people,to find out their bettor qualities andencourage them., , , '

There Is some bad In the best of us.There Is a lot of good in .the worstof us.

Human nature Is very much like a"garden. In It'we plant seeds,

Some sprout and grow Into splendidflowering .plants that give everybodypleasure. Some come up useless weeds.

If wo plant kjndnejtj&nd cUfirlty. andlove, the garden will be worth-while.

If we plant envy and greed andmalice and hatred nnd jealousy, It willnot prove a soqrce of much joy to any-body.

Nobody can plant or tend the garden

but you. Nobody can take from yonthe credit for the flowers and you can-not shift to another the blame for thegrowths that are worthless.

» * *Try to know the good Bide of human

nature. Try to cultivate It and, en-courage It.

If a motive la In question give Itthe benefit of the doubt and believe Itwas good until It Is proven to be bad.

It says In the book of Genesis thatwhen the Creator considered his workHe pronounced that "It was good.'

Unless there Is a greater power thanthe Creator It must have remainedgood.

Anyhow, It .'la sort of satisfying tobelieve that Good la more powerfulthan Evil and unless we have tochange, let us keep on thinking so.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS

"QROQ."

AT FIRST glance there would" appear to be little connec-

tion between the word "gros-graln." applied to heavy silksand ribbons, and "grog," thepallor's slang for drink. But bothof them were connected with Ad-miral Edward Version of theBritish navy, the man whogained fame for the capture ofPorto Bello during the war withSpain In 1739 and for whomMount Vernon, the home ofWashington, was named.

To the men of the Britishnavy, however, he owes hisgreatest fame to the fact thathe was the first to order rumand water served 'to the men oPhis- squadron, beginning' thispractice on board his own ship,the Burford. Previous tothis time, the ndmfral had ac-quired the name of "Old Grog,"from his habit of strolling alongthe quarter-deck in a "grogram"cloak — "grogram" being theBritish sailor's corruption of theterm "gros-graln." Because ofthe nickname of the man whooriginated the serving of rum Inthe navy, the drink was called"grog"—and "grog" It Is, to thisday.

POOR BETSY,

By JACK LANTON.

(©, 1921. WMttrn Newspaper Union.)

Barrie flat. In a brown study, thapages of his manuscript scattered be-fore Mm. Tlirough an open windowof the wide room of the country homehe bad rented came alluring scents andsounds of summer time. Work evadedhim: Troublesome realities againprotruded to the banishment ofromance; he moot settle this affair ofthe brown-eyed maid at once. Betsy,was becoming too much of an obses-sion, when he could not writeseriously for pausing to remember someIngenious remark of fiers, or to smileat the recollection of ber childishadoring gaze,—It was tinje to stop.

Bflrrie was sure that Betsy's gazewas adoring, for had net women wor-shiped him everywhere?

There was Pauline, back In his owuworld, waiting for his coming back,to win the approbation of her.Wealthyfather. Pauline would have a greatdeal of money some day.' Probablywith the very advent of her marriage,but first,'—that father must be assuredof Barrle's success In the literaryworld. Barrie had made a 'good start,which was one reason why the foolish,women were ready to Idolize him,hut—It would need an assured posi-tion to launch him fairly, and Pau-line could provide that position.

He would have to drop the smallrustic Betsy person, and overlook thematter of her wounded heart. ^Theyhad spent pleasant times together Inthe picturesque garden of the deserted,big home, where he often elected ta>write. 'He had been told that It'sowner, a frail and elderly woman,spent most of her summer at the sea-side, her pretentious old country homeremaining vacant during the period.

It was an Inspiring spot with afountain trickling over gleamingstones, and a rustic bench In the arbor.Betsy too, had loved to wander throughthese gardens, afternoons, when hersimple tasks were completed. Betsykept house for her humble father laa quaint shabby little place down thelane. And Barrie, collecting his pagesof manuscript, and folding, them away,remembered—not contritely, but withan old triumphant thrill, certain swiftshy glances of Betsy's In response tosome laughing tenderness upon hispart, startled glances they had been,as at some minor discovery." .

Iiove was In her soft eyes Barriewas sure, whenever he jslartled herfrom a day dream, sorrow too per-haps, In that she understood •their separate ways. Set he feltIt expedient to go to her nowand tell her of Paullfie. But flrst,—he.must know for,a certainty of herlove, ' Why r^-Bnrrie could not navetold; still,he must know. So he foundher In 'the quaint parlor, and sang toher. If Barrio had not determined tobe a writer, his voice might havegained him fame. It was a voice oftenderly sympathetic quality, part ofhis charm for women. So he sang-hismost thrilling love song for little Betsy,anil eagerly watched her face. Howas unprepared for the sudden changethat came over It, at his repeatedwords.

"I love yon, OI I love you."Ilurrle had expected Betsy to grow

rosy red and glimpse "him with herstartled eyes, but for her to growwhite, BO quickly white was anotherthing. Then, presently, with her headbowed upon the old piano, Belaybrokenly urged him to gol

"Please," she begged, *'go now—atonce." '

GAME rV

WASHINGTON.—Senator Shieldsof Tennessee lins introduced a

bill In congress to establish n sanc-tuary/or sanctuaries for game ani-mals and for birds nnd fish in thenational forest reserve. In Introduc-ing It he said, among other tilings:

Mr. Shields—There are n greatmany sanctuaries for pamo, or gamepreserves, established in the nationalparks of the United States In tbeRocky .Mountains and the MiddleWest which nre accessible to the peo-ple of the states lying west of theMississippi river and lying adjacentto the great Appalachian range. Theact of congress passed in 1011, com-monly known us tbe Weeks luw, es-tablished forest reservations especial-ly for the purpose of protecting thewatersheds of the great navigable

for Eastern Statesrivers which have their source inthe Appalachian mountains by profectlng the forests anil restoring thedeforested arena. The commission haspurchased something short of 2-.000,-000 acres In those mountains, and thetitle Is now vested In the UnitedStates and under the control of theAgricultural department. Of these2,000,000 acres some 400,000 acres arelocated In New Hampshire, 387,000 InVirginia, 320,000 in North Carolina,300.000 in Tennessee, 163,000 InGeorgia, 130,000 In West Virginia,130,000 In Pennsylvania, 62,000 in Alahntnn, 30,000 in Arkansas, 32,000 InMassachusetts nnd 19,000 in SonthCarolina. Eventually some 7,000,000acres will be purchased. *

These lands, while primarily pur-chased for the purpose of protectingthe watersheds of navigable rivers,are also intended as recreationgrounds for all the states lying eastof the Mississippi river. I believethat It Is of great Importance andgreat interest to the people of a|l thestates lying east of the Mississippithat further .purchases be made forthe original purposes provided In theWeeks law and that game sanctuariesbe established upon them for thebreeding and protection of game,birds and fish. ,

Mandate: New International RelationWHAT Is a mandate? The man-

date is asserted by Internationallawyers to be a new principle In in-ternational relations.- In theory amandate is an order from a league ofthe civilized nations of the world toone of those nations, making It re-sponsible for the welfare of a certainnation or piece of territory consid-ered to be less civilized. Th.e Idealof the mnmlnte Is that the civilizednations, Instead of exploiting thebackward ones, each as It can, shouldcare for them and be responsible tothe whole world for the results.

In practice a mandate Is permis-sion, given by the powers which wonthe late war to one of those powers,to supervise the affairs of some back-ward country. The rrtamlntory na-tion enjoys certain advantages In thatterritory, but It also has certain re-sponsibilities to the League of Na-tions, which, If enforced, would raisethe development of backward coun-tries -to a higher level both from theeconomic and the humanitarian pointof view. Of course, In this matter,everythlnpr really depends upon what,

._thc council of the lengue wants to donnd Is able to do.

The mnmlnte also seeks to keepone nation from exploiting exclusive-ly a backward territory, and lo give

the other members of the league cer-tain rights in it. But It does not dqns much for the nations which arenot members of the league.

The council of the League of Na-tions acknowledges three chief kindsof mandates. The A class mandatescover former Turkish possessions, In-cluding Mesopotamia. The B classmandates cover Islands of the Paci-fic, sputh of the Equator, and the Cclass mandates cover islands In thePacific, nortft, of the Equator. ThePalestine mandate Is In n, sense afourth kind. '

It Is sometimes said that A, In man-dntory language, stands for oil, and'C stands for cables. In the adminis-tration of (he B class mandate, there-fore. If anywhere, will be seen exem-plified that high International altru-ism which is supposed to be the me*five of the mandate.

"Most extraordinary," said the coro-ner. "Strychnine^ doubtless. Wecan't do much for him, I'm afraid. Wemight try' some mustard and hot wa-ter, Mrs. Arthurs."

"Take your time, Lll," whiskeredArthurs. "You mny save your coun-try a long board bill." But LillianArthurs' abhorrence of Gardiner's per-fidy had been overwhelmed In a waveof sympathy for a suffering fellow be-ng. She hurried to the kitchen, while

the men of the party died down thestairs and out Into the yard. JohnHarris wag the lust to leave thelouse, and he walked slowly, withbare, bowed head, Into the group whowere excitedly discussing the amazingutnr'events had taken. He took norart In their conversation, but stood aIttle apart, plunged deep In his ownnward struggle.

At last he turned and called hiswife In the kitchen door. "Bring Beu-ah," he said.

The two women joined him. Atfirst Harris stood with face averted,but In a moment he spoke In a clear,qalet voice.

"I haven't played the game fair withyou two1," he said, "and I want to sayso now. Perhaps It would be truer:o say that I played the wrong game.

Twenty-five years have proved It wasthe wrong gome. Now, without apenny, I can start Just where I start-ed 25 years ago. The only differences that I am an old man Instead of a

young one. I'm going to take an-•ther homestead m.d start again, atthe right game, If Mary will startwith .me.".

She put her hand In his, and hereyes were bright again with the fireof youth. "You know there Is onlyone answer, John," she whispered.

Harris called Trovers over from thegroup of men.

"There's one thing more," he con-Inued.' "When I started I had only

wife to keep, and I don't Intend to;ake any bigger responsibility now.Allan will be having a homestead ofits own. Jim Trovers, I am speaking:o. you I I owe yon an apology forsome things and an explanation forsome things, but I'm going to squarethe d«bt with the only gift I haveleft."

The light breeze tossed the hair ofBeulah's uncovered head, and theIght of love and henlth glowed In her

face and thrilled through the tinelymmetry of her figure.

"Take her, Jim." he Raid."Ehe Is a goodly gift," said the

roung man reverently."You think BO now," said her father.

'You know nothing nhout It. In twon-ty-flvo years you will know Juut .hoxvgreat a gift she IB—or she will not boworthy of her mother."

EInrrlH and his wife were gazingwith uiiKcelnK cyt'H Into the moiintaliiHwhen Arthurs Imuilcd them a letter.4It came In the mull which tho boynirought out thlfl morning," ho Bald,'and 1 forgot all nhout It until thlHnlnute."

of the house.'Gardiner's gone I" he exclaimed,

as he came up to tile men.Some of the party removed their

hats."Oh, not that way—not that way!"

exclaimed the doctor. "I mean he'sgone—skipped—beat It. If you under-stand, -Most extraordinary I I wastaking bis pulse. It wns about normal,and he seemed resting easier, so Islipped downstairs for the antidote.When I went back—I was only gone omoment—there wasn't a sight or soundof him.", Sergeant Grey conducted a swiftexamination, not of Gardiner's room,but of the one In which Allan wns ly-ing. He was rewardeil by finding thelittle slip of paper, with a few crys-tals of powder still clinging to It. Thecoroner examined the crystals throughhis magnifying glass; then, somewhatdubiously, raised them on a moistenedfinger to his tongue, end after a mo-ment's hesitation .swallowed In an Im-pressive, scholarly fashion.

"Saccharum album!" he exclaimed."Common wblte sugar I Most extraor-dinary!" • , .

But Sergeant Grey was at the openwindow. It was only an eight-footdrop to the soft earth, and to tbe po-liceman there was no longer any mys-tery In Gardiner's disappearance. Themock suicide was a carefully-plannedruse to be employed by Gardiner If theworst came to the worst.

"I want all of you men, and a horsefor each," said Grey, quickly, turningupon them like, a general marshalinghis officers. "There are a dozen differ-ent trails he may follow, and we mustput a man on .each. I will give Imme-diate pursuit, In the hope of ridinghim down before he can throw ns offthe scent, and I will leave It to you,Mr. Arthurs, to organize the posse andscour the w%ole country until be Is lo-cated."

Grey knew that the main road, Iffollowed far enough, dwindled Into apack trail, which In turn semed to loseItself In the fastnesses of the moun-tains, but In reality opened Into a passleading through -toe range. Be gaveGardiner credit for knowing an much,and concluded thntlhe fugitive wouldmake a bolt straight through themountains-.' ,"7;}< :'

An hour's harif'riding brought himInto a tremendously rough country,where the trail at times was nothingmore than o narrow dcfjle or ledge,and obcer vvnltg of rock rose thou-sands of feet above, their, giant edgescutting the blue sky like the teeth ofa mighty saw. Far below, n ribbon ofgreen and white, the river rolled In Itacanyon. Hero nnd there n thin streamof water sprayed down tho mountainside, cutting a damp, treacherous beltacross the trail.

Gray-Is the pre'domlnntlng color othe moment. If there Is any doubt ato the truth of this sweeping state-ment, writes n New Cork fashion cor-respondent, then visit the smart res-taurants at any hour of the day 01take .a walk up Fifth avenue or anyother street and note what Is seenThere Is so much of this shade, Indeedthat one' stops a moment to wonder,Just how long it will last and whatthe next change In / color will beThere are signs pointing toward thelighter shades of tan,- for now and thena champagne gown or coat or cape Isseen, and It brings a nice relief fromthe preponderance of the various'tones of gray.

Just now If n costume Is not allgray from tip to toe then It seems totake pride In having some touch ofgray about It, If It Is only the featherdrooping from the brim of the hut orthe shoes of gray worn with a frockthat Is- otherwise quite dark andconspicuous^ Gray, Indeed, has takenits place along with the shades of darkblue and black as being an acceptedout-of-doors color ns well as a favoritetone for wear within doors. It Isgood for the young nnd for the old.In fact, It recognizes no class or dis-tinction as to age or stature. It Is theall around good color of the season,and women are making the most of Itspopularity to use It In every possibleway.

Hat, Shoes, Gloves In Gray.One of the favorite methods 'of wear-

Ing gray when the whole costume Isnot In tone Is to have the bat andshoes and gloves of that color, each ofthem matching each other exactly Intone. Not a few of the gray silkcrepe dresses are adorned, with fringe,and this Is always In, the same toneas the materials from which the frockIs fashioned. Gray -capes and thoseof that color combined with one por-tion of dark blue are among the smart-est that are to be seen upon thestreets. One Is a.model fresh from theworkrooms of Jenny In Paris. Its up-per section Is made In gray woolly ma-terial and the lower section Is madeof some thick material In black em-broidered with threads of the graydrawn through It to form a plaid de-sign. .The cape Is one of those newlines that ore quite scant In width andperfectly straight In line, hanging froma little yoke that fits the shoulderssnugly and'supports n straight collar.

Tho hat worn with the cape-showshow large the hats cnn bo worn whenthey reach the limits of the Frenchfashion for this season. Indeed, thereIs no limit to tho extremes of widthwhich they attain, and even then theydo-not remain content, but must su-perimpose at that exaggerated linotrimming of some sort that makesthem 'appear even wider. In this In-stance It Is a looMcly arranged pom-pom of stiff little feathers, but oftenIt Is an OHtrlch puff or a bow of tulloor a drooping feather or some straybits of (lowers or fruit hanging fromIbe edge. Tbe brlum droop cither ntboth tddcH or all the way round, us(be case may be. Tbe trlmmlnga uro

The serge dresses are made on thsimplest of lines. Really they havthe slightest amount of fit and thsmallest amount, of material to makthem notable. ' Bnt they ore apto he embroidered In some way otrimmed with little facings or edgingIn some bright color of silk or sllbraid that gives them that fresh chlwhich makes them notable.

CHAPtER EIGHT—Continued.—12—

"You men should know that everyDtrlke Increases the burdens of thepeople. Every day your Idleness liftsthe price, of their necessities. Idle-ness Is just another form, of destruc-tion. Why could you not havelistened to the counsel of Reason InJune Instead of In September, nndthus have saved these long monthsof hardship and bitter violence? It'was because the spirit of Tyrannyhad entered your heart and put yourJudgment in chains. It had blindedyou to honor also, for you men wereworking under contract If the unionis to command the support of honestmen. It must be honest. It wasTyranny that turned the treaty withBelgium Into a scrap of paper. Thatkind of a thing will not' do here. Letme assure you that Tyranny has noright to be In this land of ours. Souremind me of the Prodigal Son whohad to know the taste of husks andtho companionship of swine before became to himself. Do you not knowthat Tyranny Is swine4 and the fodderof swine? It Is simply human hog-glshness.

"I have one tiling more to say andI am finished. Mr. Blng, somo timeago you threw up your religion with-out realizing the effect that such anact would be likely to produce on thiscommunity. You are, no doubt, awarethat many followed your example.I've got no preaching to do. I'm justgoing to quote you a few words froman authority no less responsible thanGeorge Washington himself. Our his-tory has made one fact very clear,namely, that he was a wise and far-seeing man."

Judge, Crooker took from a shelf,John Marshall's "Life of Washing-ton," and read:

'"It Is substantially true that virtueor morality Is a necessary spring ofpopular government and let us, withcaution. Indulge the supposition thatmorality can be maintained withoutreligion.

"'Let It Simply be as,ked where Isthe security for property, for reputa-tion, for life, if a sense of religiousobligation desert the oaths which aretho Initrumenta of Inveitlgatlon In

.court* of Justice!'"Let me add, on- my own account,

that the treatment you received fromyour men will vary according to theirrespect for morality nrul .religion.

"They could manage very well withan Inellgions master, for you are onlyone. But an Irreligious mob Is a. dif-ferent and highly serious matter, be-lieve me. Away back In the seven-teenth century, John Dryden wrotea wine sentence. It was this:

" 'I have heard. Indeed, of torno varyvlrtuouo penona who hive ended un-fortunately but never of a vlrtuoUBnation; Providence U engaged toodeeply when the c«u«e become! gen-eral.

" 'If virtue Is the price of a na-tion's life, lot us try to keep our ownnation virtuous."*

Mr. Ding and his men left theJudge's office, in a thoughtful mood.Tho next day, Judge Crookur mot thenlll owner on tho street.

"Judgo, I accept your verdict," Baldthe latter. "I fear that I Imve. beenrather careless. It didn't occur tomo that my example would ho takenBO seriously. I havo been a prodigalnnd have ronolvod to return to myfuthur'H IIOUHO,"

"I wonder who came," said theShepherd. •

"I guess It was the Blngs," theclock answered.

Just then It struck seven."There, I guess that's about the end

of It." said the little clock."Of what?" the Shepherd asked."Of the nineteen hundred nnd eigh-

These reflections of the little clockwere suddenly Interrupted. The Shep-herd's mother entered with a merrygreeting and turned on the lights.There were many bundles lying about.She came and kissed her son and beganto build a fire In the little stove.

"This'll be the merriest ChristmasIn yer life, laddie boy," she said, asshe lit the kindlings. "A great doc-tor lias come up with the Blngs to seeye. He says he'll have ye out o' doorsIn a little while."

"I went over to the station to meet'em last night. Mr. Blenklnsop hasbrought us a fine turkey.- We'll havea graii' dinner—sure we will—an' Iaxes' Mr. Blenklnsop to come an* eatwith us." '

Mrs. Moran opened the gifts andspread them on the bed.

FORESEE NEED OFCLOSE PRUNING

Jersey Taxpayers Insist UponSome Prompt Measure of Re-

lief From Burden.

FARMERS OPEN A DRIVE

Little Uprising In Remote Section May

Leaven Whole State—View WithAlarm Mounting Expenses of

Government anc? Living.

Trenton.—That serious considerationhas already been given the subject ofhrgh taxation appears from manysources, and the pressing need for amethod of lifting the load from theshoulders of the average taxpayer Iscoming- home to those who will be responslble for the financial status of thestate next year.

It Is just possible that that littlemovement begun by ji group of 30farmers in the distinctly agriculturesection of Burlington county, known asWesthumpton township, where, withnone of the luxuries of city IJfe, no fireor police protection and no costly overhead or municipal payrolls and streetlighting, or sewers, there Is ^ tax rntiof $32.90 upon the $1,000 of valuationand the valuations placed at a highmark means much.

These farmers "met recently and dlscussed the whole situation, decidingthat the time for action by the merecitizen had arrived and that it was neeeasary for the man who pays to showthat he has a voice In the operation o:his government. With this purpose -Inv!er» they determined to examine thewhole financial-situation of the coun-ty to acquaint themselves with thedetails o f . state government and towork out some remedy for the spend-ing disease which has spread with suchcostly virulence for some years.

That movement may be but the fore-runner of a state-wide organization ofproperty owners spurred Into life andaction by the rapidly mounting cost ofliving, no matter ta what section of thestate one may Move and have his be-ing. With the tjonernl downward trendof prices for foodstuffs nnd practicallyeverything thnj ;;oes Into the averagelife of a citizen there Is evidence of agreat nnd burning desire upon the panof property owners everywhere to getB little cheer out of the long-delaye<cut In the tax bill.

Leaders of the two big parties realIze fully to' what extent the roovemcniIs gaining momentum and they knovhow powerful It Is certain to bccomionce It gets Into full speed ahead, nndthey will undoubtedly stress this gravesituation In the conferences and counells 'they ^wlll hold In the comingmontlis when the policy for the fallcampaign Is to be outlined.

Senator Jqscph -II. Wnllworth ofCamden county, who has been n-memher of the Joint Appropriations Com-mittee of the legislature for1 two yearsHurt may possibly be chairman nextyour, foresees a marked reduction ;

the ntntn'H revenues for the next fiscalyear beginning July 1, which will meana drastic cut In the annual appropria-tions by the next legislature. Ni> mat-ter which party may be In control, thistf**od will be faced nnd the people ofthe state will not tolerate any dodging!>f the IBHIIO. Senator Wnllworth lays^special stress upon the fact that tillsyear's totnl appropriations of morethan $1:1,000,000 IN the record for New

hut that it wr.s madehy the revenues assured froi)i varioussources, Home of which will be reducedtiy Ininfciiso cuts.

Senator Wallworth of Camden coun-ty and Assemblyman Guthrle of Mer-cer, who were appointed to the com-mission, were at the state house prcss-Inc Chairman Mackny to move. TheCamden senator said that much criti-cism had been aroused over the lethar-gy of the commission, especially Inview of the fact that coal prices haveremained at the high level, with com-modities of all kinds showing a down-ward trend, and that it is necessary tomeet these criticisms with some showof Interest and activity.

Tom Holbrook's"Bride"

.stooping over tlie purple•Bters, did not hear the steps of thesmall. b'oy along the grassy path.

"How plentiful the asters were thisyear," she thought, "and how nice thatthe house would look so pretty justWhen Tom was coming home." Shewondered If be would think she wasgrown up at la-it with tier hair tucked<md In 'that new evening dress—black—*o make her look older.

"Telegram, M'ss Nancy, sign here."said the freckled urchin tt-ho had latelytaken the responsibility of being a/|"messenger."1 Nancy scrawled her name. Th&n shelooked at the oblong of yellow withsurprise. Who on earth? She toreIt open. The words danced beforeher eyes for a moment in the sunlight.

"Florence and I arrive tonight ontheC:10.

"Tom Holbrook."She read it over again trying to

Understand. Florence—what could itmean? The knowledge swept over herIn a white, blinding flash. Tom wasbringing home his wife!' Her knees felt like water, but shejnpved away, away from the sunlightflat glared down at her,- always fromthe old garden with its tangle of fallenleaves and autumn flowers.

Like a wounded animal she creptInto the house, and she was glad thatshe was alone, that Aunt Myra hadgone to the village and Lucy was toobusy in the kitchen baking to notice. •

She went through the dining roomand looked at the silver that she hadpolished this morning—for Tom. Howlovely everything looked—the waxed

. mahogany, the pewter on the old cup-board that had the sheen of silver, thesun streaming in through the bay wln-

j <lcj\v and falling on the shelf that heldall the gay blossoming things!

"What 1" she cried/ "You don't meanto say •" She was so startl«-.l her-self that she did not see the stnln ofcolor that crept to Nancy's auburnhulr.

"And he never let us know a thingabout It. Sprung It on us thinway "

A little breeze torched the soft graycurls that showed about Aunt Myra'Btemples, but her "face with Its pleasantwrinkles looked older nnd grayer andmore tired.

"I think,", said Nancy, stooping topick up a pink smartweed that wasencroaching to the very steps of theporch, "that we'll have a lot to do, tomake It pleasant for her, so that shewon't feel strange."

Aunt Myra tightened her pressureon the girl's nrm but she said noth-ing. It was not going to-be so easy toaccept Tom's wife when she had al-ways hoped that things would turn outanother way.

But Nancy did not give herself an:other moment to think. There were BOmany tilings to do. Tom would notwant his own shabby, comfortableroom up under the eaves now, butthey must have the guest room.

Nancy put on the best spread "md.covered the top of the high-boy withthe old lace cover that was laid awayin lavender. Still it looked bare some-Iiow, and she was "not satisfied untilshe had brought the madonna fromher own room and stood It on "thewhite mantel and laid logs for a fireIn the brick fireplace. Then she putthe asters—the bridal pink—on thetable—and the low-boy -In—two-jarsover the mantel, and stood back toview her work. It did look prettyand comfortable and sweet, shethought.

And suddenly the gray walls hearda strange sound, for Nancy had slippeddown and was burying her head Inher arms while the tears she had heldback all day strangled her, chokedher as though they were fiery drops.

'I hate her! Hate her! Hate her!"Nancy cried passionately.

But some one else had heard thosestrangling sobs besides the cold graywalls. It was Tom Kolbrook whokneeled down beside her and touchedthe red hair softly.

'Why, Nancy, girl, what Is Itr heasked.

She turned her face to him, tear-stained, marked by misery and triedto smile.

didn't agree with me, and as I had Dotbeen educated to do any other kind Itook the easiest way."

"Easiest?1 was asked."Not always;; most times terribly

hard," she answered. N

each of the cross strips D. The lowerends of this trellis have been madelong enough to • drive 'several InchesInto the ground.

The/nu-slmped trellis In Fig. 3 mayhave as many flngers as yon wish toprovide It with. The flngers-are allpart of one piece of board separatedby three dowel-sticks. , Fig. 4- givesdimensions (or the board .required fora four-finger trellis of the size shown,also the locations for holes for tbedowel-stick separators. Dse dowel-sticks 3-16 Inch In diameter for Sepa-rators. Bore the holes through: tbepiece, edgewise, before ripping tbefingers apart. With the flngers sepa-rated, slip separators A, B and Othrough the boles. Pull the fingers .apart, two at a time. nnd.nail them to 'separator A, first, with tbe. distanceof 2 Inches separating them (Fig. 6),then nail them to separator B, leaving

Inches between .the flngers, then to

ring strips are just the thing for rails.A, B nod C, and lattice strips are ofthe right size for strips D and E.You will find the length dimensions InFig. 2. After preparing side rails A,place them upon the floor or Work-bench with their ends at the distancesapart Indicated. Then cut cross railsB and G of the right lengths to fitbetween them at the points Indicated,and nail the side rails to their ends.Next, cut strips D and nail them toside rails A at the places shown. Youcan cut them longer than.Is necessary,and trim off the ends.after nailing

separator C, leaving 5% Inches be-tween. With careful bending, you willfind the work of assembling easy.

For tomato plants. Fig. 7 shows arow of easily made racks. The racksare made so they can be folded npas shown In Fig. 9, for storing duringthe winter season. It takes but littlemore -time to make these racks thanmakeshift ones,, and once made theywill last Indefinitely. "

Use laths for vertical and cross-strips A and B (Fig. 8), and buy %-Inch stove bolts for fastening together.Bore holes through the strips near theends for the bolts to slip through (Fig.0), nnd drive n double-pointed tackInto the ends of cronspleco B and Intothe side edge of vertical piece A.

THE GUINEA HENS

IT WAS four days since the GuineaHens had been placed In the barn-

yard and the animals were still puz-ellng over their queer looks.

"Who ever heard of hens with faceslike those?" said old Brown Hen. "Sowhite and those flery red ears. I thinkthey look frightful."

Just then Hed Rooster came strut-ting across the yard as fast as hisdignity would allow. "I have somenews for you," be said, pausing forbreath.

"There Is a circus down the road,"he said, "and I heard the farmer's boy

bay that he saw queer things downthere, nnd one was a clown with awhite face painted with red In places."

"Oh, those new hens look just likethat." broke In old Yellow Hen. "Nowwe know what they are. They areclowns and cmnc from the circus."

"They better go back where theycame from." said old Yellow Hen, "forno hen In this barnyard will hnve any-tltlng to do with them." ,

That night when the hens went tobed It was very, very dark, and thosethat had little ones cuddled them closeMnder their wings.

The new hens—they were GuineaHens, which, of course, you haveKuessed before this—went to ned awayup In the branches of the nearby treesas they always do, and If anythingdisturbs them they (quickly cry with

When the sentence tlrst quoted Isuiml.

a loud squawk something that soundslike "Go back I Go back."

Bob Dog, the collie, was asleep, andhe did not bear a sound, but theGuineas did, and In the middle of thenight came their loud cry of "Go back 1Go back I"

"Don't yon know any better than tomake that silly noise In the middleof the night?" scolded Brown Hen."You (ire rightly named clowns, butI am sorry you are hens as well."

Bob Dog awoke, too, and with abound out of his house he came bark-ing with all his might, and In a minutehe had by the leg a man 'who had comecreeping toward the henhouse to carryoft the hens In a bag.

After the excitement was over BobDog told the hens what had happenedand how the new hens had given thewarning or he might never have caughtthe robber.

"If It wasn't for that awful cry theymake," said old Yellow Hen, after acall on the Guineas, "they would bevery nice companions,

"But It was the cry that saved uslast night," said Mrs. .Brown Hen. "Ishall never again judge any one fromappearances."

CALLING CARDS

Nothing la BO difficult but that It maybe found out by seeking.—Terrence.

A WRITER on social usage hascalled attention to the fact that

In the countries of Europe the eti-quette of the calling card Is clearlylaid down by social law; In this coun-try It Is left in the air.

If there were but a congress of cus-tom where some one could go and In-troduce n law setting forth the occa-sions on which the calling card canwith propriety be used and the occa-sions on which It cannot be used bowmuch confusion could be avoided! Asthis cannot be done, we can only dpour best with our calling cards, andtrust to luck and Instinctive good tastethat we will not break such laws asthero are.

In some sections of the country ItIs customary for newcomers' to niakothe llrst call, and ns cards are the em-blems of calls the rules regulatingthem can he grouped with those regu-lating card usage. In most sectionsIt Is customary for tho old resident tomake tho llrst call. In still otherplaces It Is usual for a newcomer tosend out at-home cards to such per-sons as she chanccH to meet and de-sires to become acquainted with.

It Is usual, however, In most places,for the old resident to make the llrntcall. It IH essential for the paruon

tilled on to return this llrst call orelso run the r|sk of being called rnile.The newcomer who waits for othersto call on her, no matter where nho Is,will do better than thu uowcomer whomakes llrst calls where this Is not cus-tomary.

Here are a few hints which shouldbe observed In tho etlquutto of cardusage:

Call or leave, cards after teas, also,unless you are sure that custom ofthe neighborhood exempts you fromthis duty. In some of the big cities,among many groups, cards are not re-quired after teas. But an unnecessarycall or card can never be objected to.

Send cards when It Is Impossible toattend a tea for which cards have beensent

Leave cards or call at the home ofthe mother of a bride whose weddingor reception at the house you have at-tended.

Married women leave a card oftheir own for each woman of thehousehold, a card of their husband foreach married woman and 'another forher husband. Young men or bachelorsof any age leave cards for the doughter of the household and for hermother.

Here are five "don^ts" about cards:Never regret an Invitation on a

Never leave a card without makinga call on uny one's <liiy at home.

Yank PrincessMay Be

Widow of Ralph Thomas May SeeHusband Acclaimed King of

Albania.

LOSES HEART TO PRIMEPrincess Vlora Is Granddaughter of Eu-

gene Kelly, Millionaire New YorkBanker—Her First Husband

Wag Frank Jay Gould.

New York.—Princess VIorn, former-ly Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould and morerecently Mrs. Ralph Thomas, may bethe first American to be addressed as"your majesty."

If she attains the throne of Albania,as seems possible, she bids fair toeclipse socially Princess Anastasta ofGreece, formerly Mrs. William B;Leeds, who, through her marriage toPrince Christopher of Greece, hasclimbed the royal ladder higher thanany other American woman.

1 Princess Vlora Is In Nra York "onbusiness," while her royal consort.Prince Vlora, Is at their house In Parisarranging plans to ascend the throneof his grandfather.

The father of Vlora, Fcrid Pasha, Isprime minister to Abdul Humid, andIs working quietly wltli Turkish lead-ers.

She Prefer) Paris."What will you do In Albania, where

most of the men are poijgamlsts andaddicted to bloody feuds!" I asked herIn her apartment In the Hotel Lenorlc.

"I don't know," she sold, smiling,"perhaps remain most of tbe time Inmy Paris home with my two children—Helen, who's nineteen, and Dorothy,who's seventeen—who are now Inschool In Switzerland."

The prlncesa_was Helen MargaretKelly, granddaughter of the million-aire New York banker, Eugene Kelly.She .was married at 'eighteen to FrankJay Gould and after divorcing himmarried Ralph Thomas, son of themigar king. After a brief married life,he died suddenly In 1014, leaving herseveral millions.

During the war she sailed for Paris,where she became a war nurse. Whilerecuperating In Switzerland, she toldme, she met Prince Vlora, who wasbrooding over tbe fate of Albania andmeditating schemes for Its restoration,

Loaee Her Heart"He told me sad stories of Albania,"

ehe continued, "of Its wild scenery ondthe plcturesqueneaalof.lts people. Hewas a delightful chap and I confessthat I lost my heart to him. We weremarried quietly. '

"Whether tho prince will becomeking of Albania Is not certain. It Iswell known In diplomatic circles, thatthe problem of flmllnff a entlafactoryruler Is a hard one. The prince Is* ttionatural rult'r and la mapping out Illscourse In Paris anil London now.

"Albania Is tho roughest country Inthe Balkans, a country ot wild moun-tains, entirely without railroads. Theonly towns are situated on the coastof the Adriatic. The entire populationIs less than 1,500,000.

"The people consist malnly'bf fiercemountaineers, walking arsenals ofrifles and knives. They are Moham-medans In religion and confirmedpolygamlsts."

The princess explained that shortlybefore the war Prince William ofWled, -with German nnd Austrian back-Ing, succeeded In getting Installed asking of Albania nt Durazzo. He neversucceeded, she said, la winning the al-legiance of the mountaineers, becauseEssad Pasha and local chieftains werehostile to him. So he returned to Ger-many. Since then, the 'Italians haveoccupied more of Albania and Joinedhands with the allies, operating fromSnlonlkl.

"I am here to assist my husband Inmy own way," Princess Vlora said. "Ifhe wants the throne he can have It

"I am very much In love with himnnd will help him all I can, but I thinkI would prefer to spend most of mytime In Paris.

"My mission here Is to rest and tosee certain friends on certain mattersof Importance." '

J $230fttnce 1014, It was an-nounced by the GovernmentLoan organization.

It Is estimated that on Feb.1. 1921. the total wealth of thecountry was $3UO,UOO,UOU,UW.This Is an Increase ot *50,UOU,-000,000 during the last sevenyears.

If this wealth were dividedequally among the 107,000.000persons In the country eachwould have $2,800. In 11)14 eachwould have had $2,504.

Also Planned for Pacific.

Washington.—With Atlantic andPacific fleet air forces mobilized atbases on the two coasts, an Intensiveprogram of summer .and fall maneu-vers Is being planned by Cnpt. WilliamA. Moftatt, director of naval aviation.

Starting with the joint army andnavy bombing testa off the Atlanticcoast, designed to test the offensivevalue of aircraft against naval ves-sels, navy flyers will be put throughseveral months of stiff exercises.

Early In July tho naval airship ZR-2,purchased In Great Britain, will fly tothis country In charge of nn Americancrew. A great aerial demonstrationwill mark her arrival. Detachments

Test Mooring Mast.The ZK-2 will then skirt the coast

southward, passing ov«.r the principalcities to Philadelphia, then proceed tothe giant navy hangar at Lakeburst,N. J., and be "anchored" to a "moor-Ing mast," the first device of this kindto be erected In this country.

Experts from Great Britain willsuperintend the ereitlon of the mastwhich will be a steel structure about160 feet high with a swlveled bridleat the top to which the nose of thedirigible will be moored, permittingthe ship to swing always nose to thewind. The structure will cost about$50,000, and probably be fitted withnn elevator to carry the crew of thedirigible to and from the ground.

After being thoroughly overhauled,the Zlt-2 will undertake a cross-country cruise to show the ship totho people.

Wil l Pans Over Many Cities.Present plans call for n trip to Chl<

cago and return, nt least by way ofthe southern border of tho UreatLukes, and If cities west of CJlilcugoprovide mooring facilities tho cruisemay bo extended Indcflnltely. Theship can make n round trip to Chi-cago without refueling.

The One True TestThe one sure way to determine actual motor car value iaby a thorough, exhaustive demonstration.

In the show room, you can tell at a glance whether a carsatisfies your artistic demands. The next step, then, ia toget out on the road and discover what lies under the hood.Power, Speed and Endurance are qualities of action thatonly a ride can establish.

We suggest just this course in judging any Paige 6-66model. We go one step farther, however, and invite youto compare it with any other car—at any price—on theAmerican market Take the comparative demonstrationsfirst. Then inspect the price tags.

Paige, remember, is the stock car speed champion of theworld. • And the motor that you will find under a 6-66hood belongs to Paige and Paige alone. Don't forget that.
