Posy was compelled to think Of some
thing else to give and she racked her
brains.
The children in the neighborhood
told her what grandmothers liked
gloves and automobiles and new slip
pers and bridge prizes-but they did
not realize that the plain kind Of
grandmother was different from the
great-grandmothers. Posy began to
understand that some great sacrifice
was needed. Eventually the way Of
It became clear to her inner vision.
For long time 1t seemed to her
that she could not give up her most
cherished possession. She had had Il
so short q time and It was SO shiny
and SO altogether delightful. Never.
theless. as the days passed and there
was no substitute found, there seemed
to be nothing to do but to yield up on
the altar Of love that which the little
girl held the dearest among all her
treasures.
The day came for the great-grand-
mother to 60 home again and there
could be no postponing the evil hour
now. What had to be done must be
done-and done cheerfully for the love
one bore.
So 1t happened that great-grand-
mother found a wee box in the tray
Of her small trunk and she questioned
Posy's mother.
What is this, Lucy?" Posy's
great-grandmother asked. at is not
mine"
II gave It to you," Posy spoke up
open 1t. It's nice"
So great-grandmother opened the
wee box and lifted out to view-Posy's
tiny toothbrush.-Chicago Daily News

GIFTS FOR AN ANCESTOR
ey BLANCHE HARPER.

Posy's great-grandmother had come
visiting. To Posy ii was the event or
a lifetime. She devoted herself to the
entertainment of the little old lady
with all the earnest enthusiasm OF her
own four years. No other little girl
in the block had a greatgrandmother.
though they were as well supplied as
Posy herself when it came to grand
mothers Of the ordinary kind. So,
realizing the blessing that was hers
alone, Posy spent many minutes plan
ming pleasures for the visitor.
1t was a disappointment that the
bathing beach had no attraction for
great-grandmothers, when everybody
knew what delightful sand houses
could be built and what deep wells
dug on the shore OF the lake. But
Posy was philosophical and set her
mind to work to think OF other Joys
that might be offered to one who grew
tired easily and liked to keep out OF
the sun. Moving pictures, she discov-
cred, hurt the eyes, and toy depart
ments in big stores wearied with walk
ing so there seemed to be no enter
tainment possible for distinguished
people such as ones great-grand'
mother.
There remained nothing but gifts,
and at four one does not have unlim-
ited pocket money. Posy was fond
Of her own possessions. but she was
willing to sacrifice all she had II she
might please the great lady. So she
went over the list Of her choicest be-
longings In the hope of selecting some
thing pleasing.
There's my valentines. mother" she
said, suppressing a sigh. Great
grandmother can have all OF them,
even the one with red hearts on"
81 think she will be glad to know
you would give them" her mother told
her gently. But perhaps there might
be something she would enjoy more"
Posy pondered the matter for a day
or so and then screwed her unsel1sh
courage to the sticking place.
There's my postcards" she said
bravely. I've got an awful lot OF
them and they're so pretty. Great
grandmother can have them all, every
one"
The venerable lady was pleased and
showed 1t, but unfortunately she had
brought only a small trunk that lacked
sufficient room for such a marvellous
collection as Posy had to offer. 1t
would be q pity to take any Of the
cards away If they all could not go
and so they were left in their box.

REFUGEES STAY AT
BEST PARIS HOTELS

Paris. Aug. 29.-Only 200 Americans
were ready to take the special tram
which left Geneva for Paris yesterday
through an arrangement made by the
American Embassy with the French
government.
Other special trains will he run on
Sunday and Monday for the beneht or
Americans in Switzerland who still
wish to leave, but it appears that the
number remaining in the country Is
greatly reduced and smaller than had
been estimated.
The Americans have been arriving a,
Paris on the regular trains at the rate
of from $50 TO 200 a day during the
last ten days. The Hotel Mems Asso-
citation by agreement has given inc
refugees who stopped here overnight
while on their way to French or Eng
lish ports accommodations at the best
hotels for 81 80 day.
The military administration mas pro.
vided vans TO transfer the baggage or
the travellers, which is not examined
if il comes under the conduct OF the
American Embassy. Also for those
vouched for by the embassy no pass
ports are required, and all the usual
conditions for travelling are waived.

Atrocities and BelittleS
North Sea Battle.

Count Johann Won Bernstorff, Ger
man Ambassador TO the United States.
issued Statement. yesterday on his
arrival from Washington in reference
to alleged atrocities by the German
army.
"1he traditions Of the German army
are above all attacks in this respect"
he said. 1T is absolutely unjustifiable
TO suppose that Zeppelin bombs were
thrown against anything, else but
Notifications. Women and children
should not remain IN besieged for
tresses Not the slightest harm was
done to anybody in the open city OF
Brussels, whilst on the first day of the
war French aeroplanes bombarded the
open city of Nuremburg.
at is inconceivable that any Of the
powers who have Joined the coalition
formed solely for the purpose of at
lacking us should desire 70 give US
lessons on methods of European war
fare after having called Oriental races
into the struggle and after having sent
colored American and Indian troops to
France to fight their battles for them"
The German Ambassador said he had
not received official confirmation of the
report of the destruction of German
cruisers in the North Sea. II do not &C
count 1t in any sense a great naval
battle" he added. at seems that an
entire British feet attacked and sank a
few German ships doing outpost duty"
The Chamber of German-American
Commerce issued a statement yester-
day in the form of an article from the
"koelnische Zeitung," leading news
paper of Germany. which accuses Bel
gians of cruelty. In part it states:
Here in Belgium we experienced
treatment by Belgian civilians, mer.
women and half-grown boys, which We
never experienced before, even while
fighting negroes in our colonies. In
the first few days many of our men
were wounded or killed by civilians
sniping from everywhere, and the wom-
en- were as active as were the men.
"A house used by US as a hospital
was flying the Red Cross flag. In the
evening we put there five wounded
German soldiers. The next morning
ali five were found stabbed to death"
