the former was younger and more
lightly built. The similitude was
present in the like shivering form,
overcoatless and shrinking from the
cold, in the ravenous eyes fixed upon
the tempting edibles displayed to view
beyond the glittering window frame.
He was a counterpart of Bert in all
this. He visibly stood for penniless,
suffering, mayhap desperate human
ity.
AS by magnet Bert was drawn to-
wards him. AS though the forIorn
wayfarer was of the closest kin, he
could not resist the compelling infau-
ence of interest, sympathy, aye, poor,
as he was, sympathy and help! Bert\
came to his side The other looked
him over keenly. Then he recognized
fellow unlucky one.
Looks tempting, doesn't it?" he
challenged quite cheerily. IF there

whimsically-'o if we had a bricki"
NO need of that" retorted Bert in
like affected reckless vein. "See here"
and he shook the paper bag in his
hand. If we had a warm spot some
where we could divide"
Il can fix that" declared the other
with hungry alacrity, and he led the |
way down the street and through a by |
lane to the warm room of a big factory |
The air was warm from the proximity /
of the great furnaces. There was
bench and no one denied them the
shelter and warmth
Bert's new acquaintance devoured
more than half of the rolls with an
avidity that indicated long previous
fasting, Then he rolled two cigarettes
made up of the scrapings of his pock
cts and the twain indulged in a com
Portable smoke
At glance Bert discerned that his
companion was young fellow of good
breeding and education. He said his
name was Henry Newton, but was not
inclined to go into his past history.
I'm derelict, stranded Just now,
like yourself he observed, but he
listened with interest to Bert's story.

marked drearily. You've got mother ,

Desperate Situation.

This is an extract from a letter just
received from a little southern town
THE post office has been moved,
and the boxes have been changed to
open with combination locks. This
morning, when l was in town, I saw
the jeweler trying to file his way into
his boX-and on Sunday they found
Cousin Mays old negro, Uncle Zeb,
down on his knees on the floor before
the combination, hat off, and hands
clasped in prayer.

He felt It would be extravagant to
call In man for a little job like
replacing a broken window pane, so
he took the measurements very ac-
curately and went to the hardware
store to buy the glass.
Quite simple job" he explained
to the storekeeper; in fact, a child
could do the thing in a few minutes"
An hour later he presented himself
once more at the store. the proprietor
of which greeted him cheerfully with
the query:

word that you will favor votes for
women"
Yes, replied the man who dislikes
argument.
What are your reasons for doing
so?"
It's cheaper. If I say I'm not in

The people Of the norta are Teutons,

read the newspapers of their Dutch
neighbors though the two may con

The Walloons of the South are nerv-
Gus, of dark complexion, volatile; a
pleasure-loving lot. They are not much
given to farming and dairying, but
go in more for manufacturing, mining
and the industries. The first coal
mine ever worked in all Europe was
opened at Liege by the Walloons.
The Flemlsn portion of the popu-
lation, first cousins to the Germans,
compose about four-sevenths of the
nation, while the Walloons, related to
the French, make up three-sey enths.

rice, cheese or sardines. preserves or
a cake Of chocolate. a half pint of

weather set in, nip OF brandy in ad-

Troops entrenched even within hum

the food is nearly frozen by the time

What we need in the trenches this
freezing weather, almost as much as
the food itself, is heat. One night our
corporal came up to our squad and
invited us to come into his trench at
midnight for a cup OF hot coffee. We
laughed at the joke. Yet we felt
enough curiosity to go.
Taking an empty can OF timed
beef, the corporal poured into it some
grease and olive oil. He then dug
q little hole in an earthern ledge he
had excavated in the side Of the
trench. In this hole, he placed the
lid Of can. The bullets were then
drawn from two cartridges and the
powder emptied into the lid. Our
cook next put match to the powder
which fiared up, poured in the grease
mixture and placed q piece Of rag in
the middle as a wick. Two bayonet
cases were stuck into the earth aslant
and met above to serve as crane
for the tin bucket containing the cof-
fee. It seemed slow work to us but
at last we drank our. piping hot cof-
fee, which tasted to US like nectar.
Since then, every man has taken

The Picnic Hamper

Picnic refreshments range from a
bite" carried in the pocket to an
elaboration served from the latest in
hampers. And, indeed, the hampers
vary from more or less simple bas-
kets to wonders containing every
possible convenience and elegance
says an exchange. Motor picnics are
great fun, as the participants may
picnic far from the maddening crowd.
Sandwiches are time-honored picnic
foods being compact to pack, dainty
to handle and easy to eat There is
no limit to their variety and with
little fruit and tea, coffee or lemon
ade, the al fresco feast is complete.
Most of us think the picnic feast is
a mistake Let there be dainty food
and enough of 1t, but when 1t comes
to bothering to take tables, table
clothes and a great quantity of food,
the picnic has vanished. Such a meal
might better be gotten at home and a
short excursion made into the green
wood afterward.

Under America
Continued from Yesterday
Or a Strange Journey to the South
pole. BY Charles II. johnson.

The old gentleman smiled. You
are on board the Mercury, with my
son and myself" he replied. I'VE
picked you up in the water near
Hamlin, and you have been uncon-
scious three days
Tom was astonished and then it all
came back TO him. The box" he
muttered. where is it?" The man
patted him calmly on the head and
spoke soothingly. There, there" he
said, don't worry about it; we've got
it."
Then Tom felt himself become in
sensible, and the next thing he knew
he was sitting dressed in a large arm
chair, and the same roaring and
rushing sound was in his head.
The old gentleman was sitting near
him and was looking at him. A
young fellow of perhaps eighteen was
standing a little distance away. This
was not the same room that Tom had
seen before, and this looked like
dining room, except there was not
single window in 1t.
There, you're better, now" said the
man, chow do you feel, Thomas"
Albright" replied Tom, except
for strange roaring sound in my
| head"
oh, that's the submarine" laughed
| the boy. You'll get used to that
soon"
Then, as he considered Tom at last
| strong enough to listen, the man told
| him all about everything.
He was an inventor, one Arthur
| Ward, and, with his son Lawrence,
had constructed a strange submarine
in his home town in New York. He
| had come down as far as Florida with
| his son and then they had taken Il
| strange underground channel that ran
| right under the earth. They were
| travelling in d slanting line south, and
! also deeper, and deeper, into the bow
| els of the earth. They had been sail
ing past Hamlin, four days ago, when
Toms body hit the craft and, knock
| ing in a box that was broken, sent
| the alarm to Ward that fish or
| other creature was outside. They
were Just in time to save Tom, and
for four days he had lain unconscious,
| now and then raving about a box.
| Although they had humored him,
neither of the Wards had seen any
box. The only mark of identification
that Tom had was a ticket with his
| name on 1t, and thus they had been
! unable to even locate his relatives.

CAREFUL PACKING WILL KEEP PICNIC
BEVERAGES EITHER COLD OR HOT

The question of securing a supply
of hot tea or cold lemonade during
an outing is one which may be solved
in various ways. The simplest of all
plans, however, is the making of a
hay basket For the purpose it is
only necessary to secure a good sized
basket, a bottle and quantity of hay.
When the tea or the lemonade has
been made the tea after a suitable in
terval for standing, is strained away
from the leaves. The tea must be
poured scalding hot into the bottle,
and, in order to prevent the glass
from cracking. it is a good plan to
first place the vessel in an oven for
a short time, so that it becomes thor
oughly hot, says an exchange.
Without any delay the bottle with
the tea must be packed away into the
basket. After carefully corking put
the bottle into the basket in the most
convenient position. 1t is very likely
that it will not stand quite upright,
and in this case it must be placed in
the basket slantways.
