A Sensitive
 Lover
By SARAH BAXTER

Barnard was walking the floor. When a man walks the floor with knit brow 1t Is evident there is some thing on his mind. And there was something on Barnard's mind-a good deal in fact. He was a worshiper of Miss Brayton, and Miss Brayton was very i'll. Barnard had heard that the doctors were deslrous of making the experiment of a trnnsfusion of blood, but had not thus far found any hearty person who was willing to give up his or her blood for the purpose.
 Barnard had offered himself to Mss Bruyton. and she had refused him. Be was now ready to give her his blood or his life, If necessary, but would not this be placing her under an obligation which might cause her to re consider her refusal? It seemed to him like taking an unfair advantage of her; that 1t would be an obtrusiOn, an un- gracious act, rendering him liable to q charge Of trying to win her by unfair means. Besides, Barnard had always said that unless the girl he wanted wanted him, and th&t very badly, he didn't want her.
 How would 1t do for him to give her his blood without her knowing from whom the gift came? Barnard stop ped short In his walk md tugged at his mustache. Then he took up his hat. crammed 1t down on his head and hurried away to Miss Brayton's physician.
 After au interview 1t was settled that the invalid should receive Bar nards blood without Knowing t. This could be done by performing the op- eration in a room dimly lighted, with Burnards face covered. No one but the doctor and the couple operated on need be present, and the identity of the blood given need not be divulged.
 The operation was performed, and Miss Brayton regained her health and strength. Barnard had the satlsfac- ton of having saved her life, but saw no more evidence of a predispOsitiOn for him than before Indeed, 1t was not long after the operation that he heard she was engaged to a man whom he had feared as a rival This threw Barnard into despOndency.

MERELY PITY.

The practical weakness of the vast mass of modem pity for the poor and the oppressed is precisely thatit is merely pity. The pityis pid- ful, but not respectful. Men feel that the cruelty to Ihepoor is a kind of cruelty to animals. They never feel that it IS injustice to equals. Nay, it IS treachery to comrades.

DEsERTER SAYS RUSSIA LET ONLY RAW TROOPS

Philadelphia, Dec. 4-When Rus sia ran short oI ammunition last summer and her forces were rolled back from Galicia, the veteran fight CTS of Ter first line were with drawn and boys and untrained con- scr.Dts were sent to take their places with orders to hold back the Ger mans as long as possible, according to Max Adler, a deserter who is at the home of his sister here after making his way safely through Si- boria and Japan. Adler's wife and three children are now prisoners in Russia
 "OuIy 20 cartridges were given each Of us when we went out to fight" said Adler. We were told net to fire on any Germans un- less they got within 100 yards of us Then, when we had used all of the 20 cartridges we were told we would have to fight with clubbed rifles, bayouets, fists and teeth. Not one of Us had had more than five weeks training, and it was our iub to hold back the Germans un- til the first line troops were sup

AMERICAN KULTUR

Americans probably have not yet recovering sufficiently from their surprise to take in the full meaning of the wireless dispatch from Berlin, 8 few days ago, an uounctng that the Association of G. .rman Mechanical Engineers had recommended the adoption of the United States system of elementary education for their country.
 The surprise is a double one. The essence of German kultur is educa- tion. The world has long been taught to believe that no systems of education are equal to those devel- oped and practiced in Germany. It is Germany's pride and boast. Yet here is a national association of technical experts in one of the branches of practical work in which Germany uuQuestionably excels de Iiveriug an impeachment against that assumption.
 Again, while most Americans be Iicve and assert that their own country stands first in the world in nearly all things, they are singular lv skepticaI on that point when particulars are considered. We send our singers, cur artists, our scientists to Europe to get their final training. People who want the best often refuse American goods for European products. This ten deucy to beIittle what we have at home and exaIt what is to be ob- tained abroad applies specially to education.
 Now that highly educated, prac- tfsal Germans have confessed our elementary school system to be bet t.r than their own, perhaps we shall be encouraged to. believe it too. and to extend the same kind Of belief to other things American  about which we seem to doubt - Cleveland Leader.

Ancient Trade Unlono.

Seven thousand years ago there were trade unions in Nineveh and Babylon, and so strict were their rules that in some cases the penalty of death was inflicted for infringing them. Each mans work was strictly defined, and even the number of hours that he was allowed to work was stated in the charter of his guild or union. Later exactly the same state of affairs eL- isted in Pompeii, and inscriptions hGVo been discovered stating specific ap- poIntments of officials to trade unions.

The daily Alaskan., 1915-12-15

present, Barnard heard a young lady near him say that there was very pretty romance between Miss BraytOn and MT. Mortake Barnard pricked up his ears, but failed to learn what the romance was. But a week later he met friend who asked him why he had not got in ahead of Mortlake when Miss Brayton was i'll and offer her his blood. Thus 1t came out that Mortlake had saved his fancee's life.
 This was a romance with Yenge- ance. Mortlake had undoubtedly won the girl by claiming to have saved her life at the risk of his own.
 That evening Barnard was walking the floor in more dlsgruntled state of mind than before. His rival had beaten him by a lie, and he was not in position to set the matter right True, he had only to refer the matter to the surgeon who performed the op- eratlon, but this would be interfering between a girl and her lOver-a dog in the manager business that was far be- meath a man of BarnOrd's sensitive honor. On the other hand, what right had he to permit the girl he loved to marry a man who had lied to get her?
 Barnard, being in quandary, remain ed in a Qumdary. These sensitive fel- lows who keep themselves in the back ground are usually overlooked by girls who, did they know the facts, would most assuredly prefer them. Barnard was too refined in feeling to save ei- tber himself or the girl he loved.
 But one morning Miss BraytOn, be- ing Indlsposcd. sent for her physician. During his visit she told him that there was a certain secret which she knew he was pledged to keep, but she knew 1t all the same, Then she an nounced to him her enga agement
 "I congratulate him. said the doc tor "He took considerable risk for you and deserves you.
 "How he must have loved mel
 q fancied he was doing It for love-
 Tt would have been ungraciOus for me to refuse him after the sacrifice he made for me"
 "You have got a fine fellow. l took a fancy to Barnard the moment l laid eyes on him.
 "Barnardr'
 Yes, Barnard. You're engaged to Barnard, aren't you?"
 Miss Braytons eyes grew as big as butter plates
 Was it Mir Barnard who saved me?'
 "Why-ycs-I thought you knew"
 The cat was ont of the bag.
 Soon after this revelation Mortlake received note from his fancee stating that she must break her engagement with him. since she had discovered that she could not love him.
 Barnard heard that the girl he loved was free, but since she had pledged the doctor to keep mum he had no idea of the cause of the breaking of her engagement. One day he received a note asking him to call. He did so, and Miss Brayton frankly told him that In refusing him she had mistaken her feelings. Barnard was not slow in giy- ing her an opportunity 10 correct the mistake. They were married, and it was not till the day after the wedding that his wife told him the secret
 "Why didn't you tell me that be- fore?" he asked in an injured tone.
 Because l didn't propose that you should indulge in any more nonsense" "
