panionship. One evening Mrs. Gran
dali sent little Dot over to the place
with dish of the first strawberries
of the season, newly picked from their
own home garden. MIR. Crandall and
the masked man had got as far as
bowling to one another, but only at a
distance. The kind-intentioned Gran
dali hoped to break down the barrier
of reserve with the recluse. He pitied
his loneliness and hoped to become
neighborly.
A sharp scream caused Mrs. Gran
dali to rush to the street a minute or
two after little Dot had started on her
errand.
"Oh, my darling! My, darling"
she screamed, as she saw amid a
cloud of dust great touring car and
an excited crowd gathering.
"She is safew called out a voice
suddenly, and the speaker and some
others drew back as there emerged
from amid the confusion the masked
man.
He carried little Dot in his arms.
She was white with fright, but smil-
ing up at him murmuring lovingly:
ooh, you good man-to come just
as was being ruined Overt"
A little lad followed with the dish
filed with dust and berries. Then
there were explanations. The auto
mobile had borne down Unexpectedly,
the masked man CHANGED to be at his
garden gate. He shrank from the
staring crowd, without word,
placed Dot in the arms of her adopted
mother and disappeared, followed by
the ardent thanks of Mrs. Crandall
But there was a great ado the next
day. Dot insisted that she must go
and see her friend. Young as she
was, she recognized debt of graft
tude to the stranger. There was an
iron-grated door in the wall of the
next place abdtting on the Crandall
grounds. There Dot stationed her

mock in the, next garden, telling
stories to the masked man.
That was the beginning of rare
companionship between the lovable
little Dot and the lonely world
weary recluse. All through the
golden month of June, hour after
hour, the strangely mated twain
would wander over the garden. To
this charming little sprite who was
not at all repealed by the mask he
wore, the recluse seemed to pour out
all the love and sympathy of his ma
ture. The Crandalls had not the
heart to deprive Dot of this great
pleasure. Besides, he took pains in
teaching her to read, he filed her
mind with wondrous nature stories.
Then one day Dot came home in
tears.
"He is going away" she sobbed,
land shall be so lonely"
At the barred gate that evening
Mr.. Thorne met Mr.. Crandal and told
him that business would call him
away for a month to a distant city.
He expressed his gratitude for the
company OF the little child who had
brought so much of sunshine into his
dreary life.
1t was joyful evening when Dot
saw light once more in the solitary
old house. She could scarcely sleep,
so anxious was she to regain her old
friend. The barred gate was kept :
locked, however. For fully a week
the recluse was not seen about the
grounds. At dusk one evening he
passed the house. Dot ran out i'm
petuously to greet him.
She returned with white, fright
ened face. She was trembling all
over. Amid great terror she gasped
out:
"Oh, papa! Oh, mamma! 1t isn't
Mr.. Thornep'
what is that, my child?" inquired
Mrs. Crandall quickly.

WILSON ISSUES
WORD OF WARNING

Sides in War.
UNITED STATES FRIEND OF ALL
People Who Are Natives of other
Countries Reminded that They

WASHINGTON, Aug 1s-Addressins
the American people, President Wilson is
sued a statement in connection with the
European war, warning citizens OF the
United States against that deepest, most
subtle, most essential breach OF neutral
ity which may spring out OF partisanship.
out Of passionately taxing sides"
The president is understood TO be deeply
concerned because naturslized Americans
who come from countries now at war
have taken sides IN public discussions
in the United States OF the European
war. On previous occasions he has
publicly spoken sgains; what he termed
"hyphenated American declaring that
citizens OF the United States should be
Americans only, not Grlsh-American,
German American, or other ciassifea-
tons OF the sort. This feeling Is under
stood to have prompted the Issuance OF
his statement today.
The presidents statement follows:
My Fellow Countrymen: ] suppose
that every thoughtful man in America
has asked himself during the last troubled
weeks what influence the European war
may exert in the United states, and
take the liberty OF addressing few words

fects on us viii be and 10 urge very
earnestly upon you the sort OF speech
and conduct which will best safeguard
the nation against distress and disaster.
The effect OF the war on the United
States will depend on what American citl-
zens say and do. Every man who really
loves America will act and speak IN the
true spirit OF neutrality, which is the
spirit OF impartislity add fairness and
friendlinsss to all concerned. The spirit
OF the nation, In this critical matter will
be determined largely by what individuals
and society and those gathered in public
meetings do and say. on what news
papers and magazines contain, on what
our ministers utter In their pulplts and
men proclaim as their opinions on the
streets.
