He stopped to pick the fallen toys

With two Of the opposite sex against

But the silence was complete one
One In which spoken words and
thoughts were unnecessary. After a
moment Wallingford leaned forward
and compelled Sylvia's eyes and while
he did so he took her right hand and
removed the ring and put 1t firmly on

DEMONSTRATION IN METZ

Great stress is being laid in France upon ag-
itation that has prevailed in Metz lately, the New
York Sun says 1t started one Sunday evening
when a local association called La Lorraine Spor-
tive attempted to give concert in a room in a
hotel which it had hired for the purpose. No
sooner had M. Samain, the president, arisen to
make an address of welcome in French than an
inspector of police and eight constables took pos
session of the stage and announced that the con-
cert could not be held because it was a public
meeting and contrary to law.
There were loud protests, but in vain. Samain
and the leader of the orchestra were arrested
but the musicians went on playing They played
the "Marche Sambre ct Meuse," which is French
air. The trumpets sounded French fanfares. The
police ordered the audience to dispense; instead
1t hootei the police and shouted "Vive la Lor-
raine!" Finally it marched out singing the Mar
seillaise," the trumpets still playing
Samain was held prisoner for more than week
The police endeayored TO get y full list of men,

its committeeman, NJ. Sehl was arrested however

1t is said the order for the police action came
from the central authorities of the annexed pro-

that it was designed to provoke demonstrations

aboard naval craft. The most dignihed entry
Is that made by the animal which has been spe-
officially designated in advance as the official mas
cot of warship and is brought aboard
with due ceremony at the time the vessel Is
placed in commission Often such a mascot is
a native OF and donation from the state or city
after which a warship is named as, for instance
the handsome white goat which was presented
to the battleship Kentucky by citizens of the blue
grass state when that craft first went into com
mission.
Another favored manner of introduction for
pets aboard warships is by transfer from other
craft This is apt to occur only when one YES
sci is being placed out of commission and another
and newer craft is being placed in commission at
about the same time, and presumably at the same
navy yard There have been instances when en-
tire crews have been transferred thus from one
snip to another, and when a warship is
merely being laid up for repairs and will retain
skeleton crew" aboard IT usually happens that
there Is quite a contingent of buejackets to re
shifted to some other floating home. These boys
naturally like to take with them their pets or
mascots, and the officers of ships to which they
are thus transferred can seldom find much fault
with mascots thus enlisted since such veteran
pets are experienced In all the ways of life aboard
a warship and there is danger of them max
ing trouble, as do some newcomers until they get
their sea legs"
Many a cat dog has begun honorable
career as a mascot" rather ingloriously by wan
dering aboard stray waif; being allowed
to remain suffrage and finally winning place
in the affections of large portion of the ships
company. After ALL however, the method most
commonly in vogue in the recruiting OF mascots
is that whereby the individual bluejacket takes
aboard ship pet that has caught his fancy on
shore. Under such circumstances the tar who
has discovered the mascot is accounted the owner
so long as the pet remains aboard ship, and his
rights of ownership are recognized however
much the other jackies may pet the mascot or
teach him tricks
The officers of warship usually prefer to have
every pet thus individually owned for It makes
individual aboard responsible for the animal
for his feeding. etc. and for his behavior. In
deed, there many advantages to the
scheme that many ships it has become tht
custom to designate one enlisted the

the common property of the crew. The problem
of feeding mascot is not one that need give
anybody any concern for, may be imagined,
the average naval mascot is hopelessly overfed
by his indulgent masters, but the responsibility
for keeping pet in his proper place aboard the
vessel and seeing to 1t that he behaves, is diff
ferent matter. Especially must sharp watch
be kept his department If there be several
pets aboard, for then the animal jealousy that
usually appears under such circumstances is
famed to fierce flame, and freeforall fights on
deck would be a daily occurrence, save for the
vigilance of the bluejackets detailed to keep
order
Many persons who seldom visit United States
warshps have long been of the impression that
dogs and cats constitute almost the sole repre-
sentatives Of the animal kingdom holding posi-
tions naval mascots. This is very far from
being the case To be sure these household IA
vorites do head the roster, numerically, of naval
mascots but they are by no means in majority
In the whole census of pets afloat On the CON
trey find included in the census OF the mas
cots of Uncle Sans navy pretty nearly every AMI
NAL that could be mentioned, except the ones that
are too large to find quarters aboard ship and
the very wild ones which are too ferocious to be
tanned, even by the Establishments of the blue
jackets. Furthermore. a wide variety OF birds
have proven their eligibility to classification as
naval mascots.
Among the more or less dumb companions Sc
lected by Yankee tars to help enliven life aboard
our warshps there might be mentioned bears
Shetland ponies, monkeys, pigs, geese, oeeF'
ducks, mice burros kangaroos, raccoons, canaries,
parrots an endless variety of tropical birds. and
almost all the small fur-bearing animals. A war
ship spending most of her time along the sea-
coasts of the United States may have a small and
circumspect lot of pets aboard, but let a vessel
go on a cruise to the tropics or around the world
and she is likely to home with veritable
menagere aboard. Once home ports are reached
however, such collection is rapidly Trimmed out
for many of the sailors send to their homes on
shore or bestow upon friends the living trophies
they have brought home particularly the birds
and monkeys and the quaint little dogs that are
brought from China and Japan.
1t is more than is to be expected that the
pets aboard our warships are rule possessed
of a wonderful line of accomplishments. When
a warship is engaged in extensive cruise the
majority of the men aboard have, at one time or
another, plenty Of leisure at their disposal, and
they devote a considerable portion of il to teach
ing tricks to the pets aboard, Many persons who
have witnessed the really wonderful stunts
done by naval mascots or have noticed fourfoot-
ed mascots marching in parade with a naval
battalion, and conforming to all the military or
ders given have gained the impression that the

TO nail a dozen pets that vie with one announcer
for the homage due a ships mascot.
The number of pets or mascots aboard snip
depends somewhat on the good nature OF the
captain for the commander of the warship has
the say as to whether not any prospective
pet BE- allowed to find home aboard the craft
Indeed the naval reguations-that bulky blue
bound volume which lays down the law for every
thing in the navy-dignifes this subject of pets
by devoting a paragraph to it. In this reference
to pets in the naval book of etiquette it is set
down that the officer of the deck (who CORE
spends to the officer of the day at a military
camp must not allow any pets to be brought
aboard unless the permission of those in author
fly the vessel be obtained.
However it is only an exceptionally grouchy
commander who makes any objection to the
presence on board of any reasonable number of
pets. Indeed many an officer with natural
fondness for pets, has come to have genuine af-
lection for fourfooted friends aboard ship. More
over, the presence of pets helps to keep the sea
men contented. And finally 1t is Just as well
for an ofhcer--considering the well-known super
stitions of tars-to recognize that ancient tradi-
ton of the sea which declares that the presence
of certain animals aboard a ship will bring 1t

Almost any pet having found a domicile
board a floating fortress speedily advances to the
dignity of mascot" no matter whether the
aforementioned pet belongs to one individual iii
the ships company, or is the property of the

be mentioned that there are several different
ways in which pet or mascot may find berth
