THE SACRIFICE
OF YVES,
THE FISHERMAN
By MAXINE AuDoIN

+ HAT fellow Yves has never known
what it was to have mother
Or a father, much less single friend
With him the most important fact was
hat he was strong; his two arms
we're all he had to keep him from
starvation. He was handsome, but he
lid not know it, nor would he have
cared if he had known it; his regular
features and proud carriage told OF
noble blood.
The men in the village hated him
because he was stranger, and be-
,ause his courage was greater than
heir own, and they were jealous, too
because his good looks pleased the
women. Both men and women feared
him. Why, he did not know or care
Yves lived in a stone cabin that ne
lad built himself during the winter
when the fishing season was at ar
end; he carved little boats and play
things that he sold during the sea
son to tourists. And because he never
spent his money in getting drunk al
the tavern, the villagers called him
stingy
Furthermore, they hated him be
.ause one terrible night during the
equinoctial gale, when not a single
sailor dared to go out, Yves wen
alone in his light boat to the rescue
Of a schooner upon the rocks. Aftel
this their hatred redoubled; but hatret
is not enough to kill man who de
sires to live.
One evening, it was three wears aft
er the rescue of the schooner, Yve'
was alone in his cabin, when he heard
feeble cries outside the door. 1t wa

DIR. Anita Newcomb MCGEE, who was
an acting assistant surgeon in the war
with Spain and has been commissioned
supervisor of nurses in the Russo-Japa-
nese war, is home on visit. Il only
hope America will never have to fight
Japan" she says. I'VE nurses were
treated royalty. We were presented to
the empress and Che officials. When We
were ready to return at every town on
the way to Nagasaki the children were
allowed a holiday from school to see us
pass through and we were met by OFF,
Gals all along the way. We worked side
by side with the Japanese nurses. Their
methods are very similar to ours, only
they are not quite SO methodical and sys-
tematic as the American nurses. They
pay more attention TO the whims Of
their patients"

little girl. huddled closely together apd
moaning piteously. Yves carried them
into the house, and, piling the wood
upon the fire. prepared a great bed
of seaweed for them In one corner.
But the woman had suffered too long
from the lack of food and the cold.
Early the next day she died. Then
that fellow Yves adopted the little
girl, frail figure of 13, with big
pleading brown eyes. Her name was
Margariton.
After this winter night new life
began for the lonely Yves. To him
Margariton became a whole family.
She was society, she was his daughter,
his sister, his companion, his friend,
she was his idol, before whom he
Frustrated himself in perpetual adora-
tion
There was nothing too good for her,
and the money he had earned so pain
fully was scattered gladly for the
finest stuffs for her dresses and beau
tiful lace and gold chains. Nargariton
might we'll have become selfish in the
midst of such loving worship, but
there was no room for aught save
grateful affection in her warm little
heart.
Not far from their cabin. the rock
cliffs, sloping gently on either side
made room for a tiny beach of finest
sand. where in one corner rose a
stream of purest water.
One summer afternoon Margariton
her pitcher poised upon her head, was
following the narrow path that led tc
the spring, when she heard a voice
calling TO her. Turning, half fright
ened, she saw a young man, an artist
sitting on the rocks before his easel
For a moment the painter stood lost
in admiration of the beauty of the cir
before him; then, as she was abou
to hasten on, he stretched out botr
hands. pleadingly. regardless of tn,
| fact that he was still holding hi:
palette and brushes, and cried:
Young lady, l beg and entreat 20,
to remain just where you are, withou
moving, If only for an Instant"
Gladly" said Margariton, blushinl
rosily.
The painter Immediately disappeared
behind his canvas and the brushes fiev
fast as he worked. Half an hour late
he asked his model to inspect his mrs
sketch.
Margariton FASTENED to his side, he

the sight of the canvas on the easel sb,
stopped short in ecstasy, without wort
to express her rapturous admiration.

Dealing with Army Desarters.

Officers of the regular army have
made strong complaint of the frequency
with which enlisted men desert. This
is a not uncommon feature of military
experience in time of peace. Soldiers
weary of the monotony and routine at
the posts where they are stationed and
frequently take French leave" APP
parently some one has been giving the
matter pretty close study, says the
Troy IN. " Times, for scheme
has been suggested which promises to
lessen the number of assertions, or at
least the number of court martials for
desertion. A change is to be made in
the manner Of recruiting for the army.
1t has been noted that the largest per-
centage of assertions is among very
young reciv,its. They quickly discover
that many Of their preconceived notions
of soldiers life are erroneous, and &C
cordingly take themselves on without
ceremony. The new plan is to receive
the recruits and drill them for several
weeks, subjecting them to all the re-
strictions of army life, but without
giving them uniforms or swearing them
In. In this manner they will get a
taste of the experience that awaits
them, and IL they conclude that they do
not like it they may run away. AS they
have not taken the oath and do not APP
pear on the army rolls, they cannot be
called 20 account and court-martialed.
The army simply drops them and puts
in their places men who are more re-
liable. The system involves no par
ticular harm when the country is at
peace, for in reality the army is better
off without men who would be pretty
certain to desert If they had chance.
In war time it would be different. But
in war time the matter generally settles
itself. The men who then enlist.do SO
because they want to fight, not for the
purpose of deserving as soon as an OPP
portunity offers.

Our Money in Canada.
LOUISIANA
coLrAx-

Canadians are going TO retaliate on
the people of the United States said
a traveller from the dominion, reports
the Washington Star, lin the matter
of the circulating medium. For years
past United States silver and paper
money, especially the former, have
circulated freely and TO large ex-
tent in Canada, and the same is true,
to a smaller extent, however, with re-
spect to Canadian money in the bor-
der states. Canadians naturally pre-
fer their own money for business pur-
poses, but up to this time have had no
aversion to United States currency.
Recent experiences of many OF them
in this country, especially those who
sition, have caused a decided change
of septiment They found that Cana
dian money is regarded with suspicion,
generally refused, and If accepted at all,
heavy discount is charged. The WIS.,
itor's national pride is assailed in a
very vulnerable spot-his pocket-and
on his return to Canada he generally
avoids American money whenever pos
sible. Last summer thousands Of Cana
dian business men and women visited
the st. Louis fair. To most of them
1t never occurred that they should
change their money. They used SO
much American currency at home that
they naturally supposed their own good
Canadian bills would be welcome un-
der the stars and stripes. But they
were not, and the refusal of the peo-
pie at st. Louis and other cities to
accept the dominion cash, together with
the greed of the money changers, caused
inconvenience and loss. When these
people got back to Canada they deter
mined to soak the intruding United
States currency whenever and wherever
they found it. The feeling gained
strength from the business and bank
ing, as we'll as from an emotional stand
point. AS result strong efforts are
being made to procure legislation to
exclude the undesirable money, so that
the field may be left clear to the Cana
dian banks and government"
