Reciprocity.

Men are enlisted for the labor that
kills-the labor of war. They are count
ed, trained, fed, dressed and praised
for that. Let them be enlisted also
for the labor that feeds. Let them be
counted, trained fed, dressed. praised
for that Teach the pillow exercise as
carefully as you do the sword exercise
and let the officers of troops of life be
held as much gentlemen as the officers
of troops Of death, and all Is done. But
neither this nor any other right thing
can be accomplishment can't even
see your way to it-unless, first of all,
both servant and master are resolved
that, come what will of it, they will do
each other justice. People are per-
petually squabbling about what will be
best to do. or easiest 10 do, or advise
ablest TO do, or profitablest to do, but
they never, so far as hear them talk,

He advanced toward her.
'I've heard something more about

The girl made a quick retreat across
the length of the big room in which
they were standing to the big bay win
dow that overlooked the porch.

she exclaimed hurriedly. at would

a million and half" And he tangled
the keys again.
They left the big house, with its big
rooms, big bay window and big veran-
da, and turned away. Wilson consult
ed a list which he had in his pocket
and then directed their steps into a
quiet pretty, little side street where
the houses were mainly cottages with
miniature gardens and lawns in front
and where a general air of homely
coziness and comfort seem TO prevail.
In the middle Of one of the squares
stood an especially attractive little
home, with tiny veranda and tree
or two in the front yard. The house
seemed to have saucy air, as though
1t were saying to every one: I'm all
nice and coy. Don't you wish you
