With every nation of any size in
Europe plunged into a war that will
criss-cross, saturate and implicate the
little nations not directly involved,
says a writer, what will become OF
the United States on this continent
of peace?
"In Washington" goes on this au-
thority, students of military and nav
al strategy view the outlook for the
war to become world wide, resulting
in the survival of the tittest, with
mingled apprehension and awe, with
a dash of relief because Germany is
involved to the extreme limit.
Japan is a possible antagonist of
the United States, through the oppor-
tunity presented through the decla-
ration of var between Germany and
Great Britain.
.Japan's attitude, like Washing
tons, is one OF watchful waiting. No
one can tell which way she will jump,
or when. Washington is keenly IN

thanking fortune that the Panama
canal is so nearly finished that the

Things That Helped Ne
Fidelity.
BY a Busy Housewife.

Fidelity.
A rosebush grew by a crumbing wall
AT the end of a lonely lane,
Where a solemn silence ruled DER all
And the tangled grass and the weeds so tall
Withered for lack of rain.
But the rosebush bloomed all the summer through,
With each chalice upheld for the morning dew.
Away from the world was the roscbush there
And for years it had bloOmed alone:
With no one to welcome the blossoms fair
And no one to breathe the fragrant air
Or to watch how the branches had grown,
But the rosebush heard not encouragement call
And the blossoms hung thick on the moss grown wall.
Twas enough for the rose that the sun shon> right
And the dew fell soft and warm,
Its mission it was to reflect the light,
TO gather sweet fragrance out of the night,
And strength from the buffeting storm.
TO a higher power twas left to decree
What the blossoms should find as their destiny.

the end, he went back and read 1t for
the second time; and then, spreading
it upon his knee, sat looking at 1t in
silence.
''Well?" said Hill, desiring, at any
cost. to come to the point.

"And she?"
Hill merely pointed to the paper.
"She has been distressed about you
for some time," said he, "and as you
were unwilling to relieve her mind,
she decided that you were being VIC
timized In some manner, and so set
Pc me to find out the cause Of the
trouble"

why did you not come here this way,

Vanderpool arose and began to pace
up and down, silently, appearing to
consider ,the proposition that the
younger man had just made. Then he
stopped abruptly, shooting a direct

coIors of Music.

There has just been installed at
Queens hall in London a color organ
for representing musical effects in
terms of colored lights thrown upon
a screen. which has been designed ex-
pressly for the deaf. Each note played
produces corresponding color, and
the color combinations are said to
cause the same delight to the deaf
ear as the harmonious sounds of a
composition do to the normal ear. The
organ was devised by Prof. Wallace
Rimington, and among those who have
become very much interested In the
project is M. Alexander Sciabin. a Rus
sian composer, who has achieved a
foremost position in European musical
circles.

CHAPTER XVIII.
And Counterplots

When Pedro and Sam Hill separated
on the night of their Jersey adventure
the latter made straight for Jones
street, accompanied by Beau-Jean, and
upon reaching the refuge of the rear
tenement tumbled into bed without
more ado, and for seven hours slept
the sleep OF the Just, his head upon
an improvised pillow of quilting-be-
meath which his hand grasped the pre-
cious document that Iris, as he thought,
had sent him.
Very possibly his repose would have

had it not been for the activity of Gun.

mediately below. These ladies', their
household duties, as usual, entirely
neglected, were loudly applauding Old
Nita's efforts to instruct Koko in
new accomplishment; namely, to use
as cymbals the lids of two fish kettles
strapped to his front paws.
Now the clash of cymbals, no mat
ter how amateurish and uncertain the
performers efforts, is not conducive
to slumber to say the least of it; and,
therefore. with a groan of protest,
Sam returned to consciousness of all
that had befallen him, and all that
was yet to be undertaken While he
washed and shaved he pondered deeply
upon how he should set about getting
the information that Iris desired. AS
he drew on his boots he still won

with the knotting of the silk bandanna
about his throat. But at about thi
point hunger began to distract his at.
tention, and SO, deciding that he
would be able to think more collect

Koko dropped to his all-fours at this
intrusion, glad to be rid of the encum
bering kettle-lids. which Old Nita un.
