One Of the features of the news from Europe is the way in which the women of the warning countries have turned out in the fields to cultivate and harvest the crops, while the men are fighting. The sight of women doing farmwork in this country was once conside incongruous and primitive. In Europe it has always been common The majority of the aliens who do servants work in this country no doubt used to hoe and rake and mow in the old country
 Of recent years. as foreign labor has come to the United States, 1t, IS not so unusual to see women doing farmwork. In many districts, as you go along a country road, you observe a baby carriage drawn up by the side of the way, in sight of the. mother. who is Iaboriously helping her hus- band found the family fortunes
 Also many women of American de- scent have been learning during the past few years that there is an open ing for them in many departments of farm work Market and fruit gar dening are such chances. The high price of meat has created an enor- mous1y increased demand for farm vegetables and kindred products
 Many a school teacher who has left the farm to work for $40U a year in some high cost of living town. would have done better to start a ht-s tie enterprise of raising vegetables or

It was in regard to paperinE the rooms that we fell out I wanted the entire suite in a rich warm red. He objects declaring that would drive him to drink 1t would play so on his nerves.

Please an- swer soon as he suggests that we put the question to you.

 Red is a. beautiful color in wall pa- per if one, has means to gratify the changing of it when the eye becomes tired of it. The best way would be to have each room of a different color scheme, each choosing alternately, fl 1t is possible for a mutual agreement. Talk it over with fr1ends also with different decorators. A little red goes a great ways on the walls.

CHAPTER XVII. 4 Girl With One Idea.

VT was the following day that, lean-
 Ing against the window grating of
 iron, she was astonished to find A it bending before her. She looked more closely and was astonished to find that one bar had been cut cleanly through She examined the remainder of the bars. They appeared absolutely untouched, but when she pulled harsh 1y at them every one gave way. Ready made was her means of escape.
 That night, fully dressed, she stood beside the window looking out over the moon sp1ashed patio. 4 furtive figure detached itself from the shadows and crept toward her. Strangely enough it did not frighten her to recognize the butler.
 She crouched in the opposite side of the room listening to the faint tinlk1e of snapping iron bars as the man de tached the ends from their sockets. the opening.
 Breath1essly she watched his ap- proach. There was nothing undecided about his movements. He was swift; he was certain; he was sure. Not a motion, not a step was wasted. He was almost over the bed when Lucille sprang from her hiding place behind s the door
 Instantly he turned, his head darting from side to side like that of giant reptile. He did not speak. Slowly his hands opened and closed, while grin crossed his face, widened his mouth a hfdeously inhuman grin. She tried to cry out, but her lips were frozen shut.
 He had almost reached her side. With gasp Lucille grasped native vase that. stood near and brought it down on his head with crushing force. As he sank to the floor with moan

IF SHE HASN'T
 BOUGHT THE RING

'sMaidens, like moths, are ever caught
 by the glare;
 And mammon wins his way where
 Seraphs might despair ?
 There are few young girls whose eyes are not caught at one time or another by glittering gew-gaws. It generally isn't the girl who has the full purse and can buy what she wants, but the maiden who has to count her nicI1eIs and has saved long and faithfully to purchase what she desired.
 The Jeweler's window is a vision of delight to her. It is generally the daughter of the poor who has the greatest craving for the pretty bau- bles aIluringIy displayed therein. Many a day she looked at a ring which areposed in a ruby velvet case. Every time she passed the shop she had ventured in to look wistfu11y at it and tiTnidly asked the very lowest price. From sixty dollars the 5eweler came down to twenty five by slow and easy stages, declaring that at that price 1t wouldn't remain an hour in his
 window. e
 That settled it. When the girl left the store, she was the proud possessor it to her home folks with all her gir1- ish g1ee. Much Of her joy suddenly, left her heart when she saw how woF- ried her mother looked. and how grave | her father became.
 That twenty-five dollars would have bought you three pretty little lawn, l noWer-sprigged dresses for summer and a new hat as well,'' said her mother. s.It would have paid her board four weeks at a country place" commented her father taIo! Hot Look at the girl with a cheap gingha am dress sporting a diamond ringI' shouts her little brother. The carpet of the living room is weefu11y worn She cannot stand the remarks of the fam l fly at the dinner table that less than 1 twenty-five dollars would have bought 1 a new one That sum would also have bought a new sewing machine for poor old mother, who has to take every stitch by hand and often signs Wearily for the want of one.
 Just then, to add to the girls dis comfort, her mother gets a letter from her kinfolks. Oh! such g tale of woe as the reading of it unfolds. Uncle, who was hurt is saving carefully for i the purchase of a wooden leg. It's only twenty-five dolIarsi but that's a
 whole lot when a person hasn't tf.
 Aunt Ann needs to go to the dentist; she suffers day and night with her 1 teeth, but it would cost at least twer1- I ty-fve dollars, so the poor soul will 1 have to suffer and wait Each mem ber of the family turns the gazes at 1 her iri silent rebulze. Ohl if she hand't bought that ring! It's hanging about ] her neck by a blue ribbon, She can not wear it about her daily tasks Het, friends declare that small chip though it is, 1t couldn't be genuine 1 at that price The girl who buys fooIis111y and beyond her means pays
 dear for her folly She should consult l her folks before making costly pur- l chases if she would have a light heart
 and not lifelong regret.
