they did not understand, when they
should obey the orders of their SUI
periors. OF late, their clatter had been
about the extra taxes for the recent in
crease of the standing forces by an
other corps. The public was bovine
with parrots head. Yet it did not
admire the toiling OK, but the eagle
and the lion.
AS his car came to the park his eyes
lighted at sight of one of the dividends
one feature of urban life that ever
gave him a thrill. A battalion of the
128th, which he had ordered that after
noon to the very garrison at South La
Tir that he had once commanded, was
marching through the main avenue.
Youths all, Of twenty-one or two, they
were in muddy-grayish uniform
which was the color of the plain as
seen from the veranda of the Galland
house. Where these came from were
other boys growing up to take their
places The mothers Of the nation
were doing their duty. All the land
was a breeding ground for the divi-
dends of Hedworth Westerling.
At the far side CT the park he saw
another kind of dividend-another
group of marching men. These we're
not in uniform. They were the unem-
ployed. Many were middle-aged, with
worn, tired faces. Beside the flag Of
the country at the head of the process
sion was that of universal radicalism.
And his car had to stop to let them
pass. For an instant the indignation
of military autocracy rose strong with
in him at sight of the national colors
| in such company. But he noted how
naturally the men kept step; the
solidarity of their movement. The
stamp of their army service in youth
could not be easily removed He real
lied the advantage of heading an army
in which defense was not dependent
on mixture of regulars and volun-
teers, but on universal CONSUMPTION
that brought every able-bodied man
under discipline.
| These reservists, in the event of
war, would hear the call of race and
they would fight for the one flag that

then had any significance. Yes, the
old human impulses would predomi-
nate and the only enemy would be on
the other side of the frontier. They
would be pawns Of his will-the will
that Marta Galland had said would
make him chief of staff.
Wasn't war the real cure for the
general unrest? Wasn't the nation
growing stale from the long peace? He
was ready for war now that he had be-
come vice-chief, when the retirement
of His Excellency, unable to bear the
weight of his years and decorations in
the field, would make him the supreme
commander. One ambition gained, he
heard the appeal of another; to live
to see the guns and rifles that had
fired only blank cartridges in practice
pouring out shells and bullets, and all
the battalions that had played at sham
war in maneuvers engaged in real
war, under his direction. He saw his
columns sweeping up the slopes of the
Brown range. Victory was certain. He
would be the first to lead great mod
ern army against great modern
army; his place as the master of mod
ern tactics secure in the minds of all
the soldiers of the world. The public
would forget its unrest in the thrill Of
battles won and provinces conquered,
and its clatter would be that of ac-
claim for a new idol of it's old faith.

and possibly some previous practice,
the feat was sufficiently practicable
In that case, Edith, might actually
have heard and seen what she had
since attributed to imagination.
But what end could be served by
these repeated attacks upon her sen
sibility?
A cause is sometimes discovered by
examining the effect. Now, what Ell
feet had been produced by these at
tacks? The first had frightened
Edith excessively; the second -
made a slighter impression-thl's lar
the effect had been confined TO her;
but the third-for only a third fright
could / attribute her scream of ter
ror-had brought her father ard my
self from our rooms. Instantly, some
thing like the truth flashed upon M
mind.

Lo U'''lp8 4g the mystery with this
ny, ~ assumed that the thief had
ss~~.,ched me close the door upon Van
Hoeck and return to my room; that,
after allowing me sufficient time to
get into bed, but not to fall into sound
sleep, he made the attack upon Edith,
opening her door beforehand to pro-
vide speedy means of escape and to
allow her cry to be distinctly heard;
that, having succeeded in terrifying
her, he had sped down the stairs in
the left block, passed through the Ii
brary and dining room, and assembled
by the stairs in the right block about
the same time that | might be sup
posed to have reached Edith's room,
and that, reckoning upon my keeping
he Great Hesper under my pilloW. and
leaving it there in my alarm Apon
Edith's account, he had expected to
have possessed himself of our treas
ure. If what | thus assumed was the
fact, then indeed this plan might have
succeeded but for Van Hoeck's pru-
dent insistence upon my strapping the
diamond to my wrist.

Ignorant of what had occurred in

paced my room, thinking how terri
BILE the fright must have been that

had said to me, and these words COM
ing back to my mind, l asked myself
if the attacks upon Edih might not
be part of complicated scheme to
obtain the diamond.
Such a plot was the more possible
because it seemed impossible. An act
of legerdemain succeeds or not, ac-
cording to the skill with which the
conjurer fixes our attention on false
train of operations while he works out
the actual feat. AS | made these re-
Elections, j took the Great Hesper
from the pouch on my waist strap,
and buckled it in its case upon my
left wrist; then / doubly-locked the
door, saw that there was oil in the
lamp, put box of wax matches be-
side it on the table, and finally opened
the long-bladed knife Van HoecE had
given me, and stuck it between the
mattress and the side OF the bed

was particularly wide, with four

loose at the head: it faced the

Between the right side of the bed
and the wall was a square table--on
which stood the lamp-with the sad

Mccoy, Sparta, Wis.-"I was troubled
with psoriasis for nearly two years.
Portions of my arms and limbs were
affected mostly with it. 1t appeared

SUGGESTIONS FOR ICE TRUST
Just a Few Reasons Why There
Should Be an Advance in Price
Of Summer Necessity.

The ice trust having offered a silver
loving-cup for the best excuse which
might be invented for raising the
price of Ice after the cold winter, we
hopefully submit the following:
1. The ice being so thick and heavy,
1t costs more to handle 1t.
2. The blocks are so large that there
is great waste in cutting them up for
the retail trade.
3. The ice is so cold it freezes solid
in the storage houses and is very diff
cult to get out.
A. AS the winter has been so cold,
the summer will necessarily be very
hot, and the demand for ice very
great, so that it is doubtful If there
will be enough to go around.
5. The ice being extra thick, extra
cold, and extra quality all through, it
is only proper that an extra price
should be demanded.
6. The price of ice never had any
relation to the cost of production, any
how.-Life.

A SONG OF THE FLAG.

(By Denis A. Mccarthy
Here is my love to you, flag of the free,
and flag of the tried and true,
Here is my love to your streaming stripes,
and your stars in a field of blue!
Here is my love to your silken folds wher-
ever they wave on high,
For you are the flag of land for which
t were sweet for a man to die!
Native or foreign are all as one when
cometh the day of strife;
What is the dearest gift we can give for
the flag but human life?
Native or foreign are all the same when
the hearts blood reddens the EARTH
And native or foreign, t is love like this is
the ultimate test of our worth!
Native or immigrant-here Is the task to
which we must summon our powers;
Ever unsullied to keep the flag in peace as
In wars wild hours.
Selflshness, narrowness, graft and greed,
and the evil that hates the light,
All these are foes Of the flag today, all
these we must face and fight
Symbol of hope to me and mine, and to all
who aspire to be free!
Ever your golden stars may shine, from the
east to the western sea!
Ever your golden stars may shine, and ever
your stripes may CLEAN
To lead us on from the deeds we do to
the greater deeds that we dream
Here is our love to you, flag of the free, and
flag of the tried and true;
Here is our love to your streaming stripes,
and your stars in a field of blue!
Native or foreign. we're children all of the
land over which you fly
And native OF foreign we love the land for
which It were sweet to diel

HAD NO RATIoNS TO SPARE
Good Reason Why Confederate Com
mander Was Willing TO See His
Prisoners Escape.

When, at Gaines Mill in 1852, the
Fifth Texas captured two whole regi-
ments of Union soldiers, the Texans
were all very proud of their achieve
ment One of them has described an
amusing scene in connection with the
surrender.
When the Union officers gave up
their swords TO Colonel Upton they
were so prompt in the duty that he
was compelled to lay down the frying
pan which he carried in place OF
sword and hold the weapons presented
in his arms.
Just then he noticed a commotion at
the far end of the captured regiments,
That was near the timber, and squad
Of the prisoners were making an eff
fort to pass by "Big John" Ferris OF
Company b. who stood there unaided,
endeavoring to intercept them.
Springing upon a log, the armful of
swords dangling about in every direc-
ton, Upton shouted:
John Ferris, what are you trying to
do now?"
Il am trying to keep these fellows
from escaping" yelled Big John.
Let them go, you fool" shouted
back Upton. Wed rather fight than
feed them!"

but with a union of IS stars blue ground,
representing a constellation" According
to tradition the first flag after the new design
made by Mrs. Betsy Ross in Philadelphia
There is much uncertainty both as regards the
origin and as regards the first use by the army
and navy of this new fag-probably however, 1t
first used at Fort Stanwix on August 6, 1777
No change made in the flag until January
1894, when two states, Vermont and Ken
lucky, having been admitted to the Union Gin
1871 and 1892, respectively, congress enacted
that after May /, 1875, the flag of the United
States be Is stripes, alternate red and white, that
the Union be Is stars, white in a blue field"
No further change was made until 1918, when
five states. Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, In
diana and Mississippi, having been admitted to
the Union, congress enacted on April 4, that
from and after the fourth day Of July next the
flag of the United States be 10 horizontal stripes,
alternate red and white, that the union have 20
stars, white in blue field" and that on the
admission of every new state into the Union one
star be added to the union OF the flag and that
such addition shall take effect on the fourth Of
July next succeeding such admission" This law
still remains In force. The manner in which the
stars we're to be arranged in the union Of the
flag was not prescribed and ever since flags have
differed considerably in this respect. The rule
followed in our first expansion flags of 1875 of
arranging the stars that the whole number
formed large star was abandoned as new
stars began to appear on the flag, and the stars
were placed In rows. This Is the form OF the
flag today, whose stars tell the marvellous story
of our continental expansion and whose folds
voice the spirit of freedom and justice on land
and sea-
Hail brightest banner that floats on the gale!
Flag of the country of Washington, hail!
Red thy stripes with the blood Of the brave;
Bright are thy stars the sun on the wave;
Wrapt in thy folds the hopes of the free.
Banner of Washington! blessings on thee!
Traitors shall perish, and treason shall fail:
Kingdoms and thrones in thy glory grow pale;
Thou shalt live and thy people shall own
Loyaltys sweet, when each heart is thy throne;
Union and freedom thine heritage be
Country OF Washington. blessings on theel
On July T. 1912, by the addition of two new
stars one for each of the two new states OF
Arizona and New Mexico, the total of stars
reached 4S and the end of the chapter was
reached. There can be no more states admitted
to the Union as all the territories Of continental
United States have now reached statehood. and
the only possibility of additional stars being
added is the partition of Texas into two or more
states, which was reserved as constitutional
right by that state upon its coming into the
Union.

Interesting is the story of the flag and the
better to understand it It is necessary to go back
several centuries. Prior to the Revolutionary
war the flag generally used in the American colo
MES was OF course that Of Great Britain though
at different times in different colonies minor
variations were introduced. The first English
nag TO appear In what is the United States
was the red cross Of st. George red cross upon
white held-and under this emblem various at
tempts were made to establish colonies in the
new world In 1906, after the union between
England and Scotland the white cross Of St An
drew added and the field was changed from
white to blue. Under this flag the Mayfower
sailed under II were established the first perma-
nent Anglo-Saxon settlements In the new world,
and the flag generally used in the colonies,
when any flag was used at all, down to 1907.
Previous to this in England the flag underwent a
change The field was changed from blue to
crimson and the crosses OF st. George and St
Andrew, which had covered the entire field, were
placed in the upper left hand corner. In 1907
Great Britain adopted for the whole realm the
union flag of St James. During the early part of
the Revolutionary period each colony used an
emblem OF its own-frequenty the coatof-arms
OF the colony with the addition OF some such
notices as "Qui transtult sustnet," or George
Rex and the Liberties OF America" One flag
which often appeared from 1907 to 1776 was
known as the pine tree flag, and under 1t some
of the battles OF the Revolution on land and sea
were fought. Both at this time and earlier the
