REASON FOR HIS DRAGGING
British Soldier Felt He Had to Lie
About His Wonderful Deeds
In the Field.

An officer was surprised one day
when searching the letters of his de-
tachment to read In one of them a
passage that was something like this:
I'VE have just got out of shell-fire
for the first time for two months. 1t
has been a hard time. The Germans
were determined to take our field bak-
cry, but, by gee! we would not let
them. We killed them in thousands"
This was letter from one of the
bakers to his wife. None of the de-
tachment had been a mile from the
base, and they had never seen a Ger
man, except as a prisoner. My friend
knew the writer we'll. and could not
help (although It was none of his bust
ness) asking him why he told such
terrible lies to his poor wife. The SOL
der said:
It's quite true what you say, but
it's like this, sir. When my wife and
the wives Of the other men in the
place where I live are talking 1t all
over in the morning couldn't think
to let her have nothing to say and the
others all Dragging about what their
men had done with the Germans.
That's the way Of 1t, sir."-Manchester
Guardian.

thought. they were neither one aware
OF 1t. They were glad that they were
just living. and moving swiftly In the
open air, glad that 1t was showing,
glad that the light was beginning to
fade, that there were other vehicles
in the park, that the world was such
bright and happy place; and they
were quite pleased. too. to be to-
gether
1t was still light, though the electric
lamps were beginning to fare up
through the thin snow veil, when they
rounded a rocky drive, and came in
view of little lookout house perched
on a hill.
"Oh!" called Gail, Involuntary put
ting her hand on his arm. 81 want
to go up there!"
The work of Edward e. Allison was
well-nigh perfection. He stopped the
runabout exactly at the center Of the
pathway. and was out and on Calls
side of the car with the agility of
youngster after a robins egg. He
helped her to alight, and would have
helped her up the hill with great
pleasure. but she was too nimble and
too eager for that, and was In the
lookout house several steps ahead of
him.
When she was quite finished with
the view, and turned and went down
the hill, one Of her tiny French heels
slid, and she might have fallen. had 1t
not been for the ironlike arm which
he threw back to support her. For
Just an instant she was thrown fairly
in his embrace. with his arm about
her waist, and her weight upon his
breast; and, in that instant, the fire
which had been smoldering In him all
afternoon burst into fame. With a
mighty repression he resisted the i'm
pulse to crush her to him, and handed
her to the equilibrium which she in.
stinctively sought, though the arm
trembled which had been pressed
about her. His heart sang, as he
helped her into the machine, and
sprang in beside her. He felt saw
age Joy in his strength as he started
the car and felt the wheel under his
hard grip. He was young, younger
than he had ever been in his boyhood;
strong, stronger than he had ever
been in his youth. What worlds he
might conquer now with this new
blood racing through his veins. 1t
was as II he had been suddenly thrust
into the fires of eternal life, and en-.
dowed with all the vast, irresistible
force of creation!

proffering the envelope which no one

w. T. Chisholm was suddenly re-
minded that the vestry had a moral
obligation in the matter under discus
sion. He was president Of the Males
tic Trust company, and never forgot
that fact.
ITO what use would you devote the
property of Market Square church,"
he gravely asked.
"The erection of a terminal station
for all the municipal transportation In
New York" answered Allison; Sub
ways, elevateds, surface cars, traction
lines! The proposition should have
the hearty cooperation of every citi-
zen."
Simple little idea, wasn't It? Gail
had to think successfully to compre-
bend what stupendous enterprise
this was; and the man talked about 1t
as modestly as If he we're planning to

ut seems to be a remarkably lucra

and was rewarded by a snort from
Manning. Allison frankly guffawed
The balance of the sedate vestry was
struck dumb by the impertlnence.
Gall felt the eyes of the Rev. Smith
Boyd fixed steadily on her, and turned
to meet them. They were cold. She
had thought them blue; but now they
were green! She stared back into
them for moment, and little red
spot came into the delicate tint Of her
oval cheeks; then she turned deliber
ately to the marvelously beautiful big
transept window. 1t had been de-
signed by the most famous stained
glass artist In the world, and its sub
ject lent itself to a wealth of color.

GERMAN SOAP FROM SUGAR
Discovery That Promises to Be Of I'm.
mense Importance to Country In
the Midst of War.

The discovery is announced Of a
method Of manufacture Of soap from
sugar, Of which Germany has plenty,
instead of from oil, which is scarce. In
the past 1t has been possible to use
sugar only in soaps that had little
value. BY the new method. it is
claimed, the soap produced is not
only fine and delicate, but 1t acts as
efficiently in salt water as in fresh
a fact that may make the soap valu.
able for the navy.
Articles that formerly had to be
sent to chemical laundries can now be
washed with the new kind of soap.
The finest kinds of silks, 1t is alleged,
not only are not harmed by it, but
their colors are brought out brilliantly
and as new. In addition. the sugar
soap seems to be responsible for a
minimum of the wear and tear occa-
stoned by old-fashioned cleansing
soaps.

ously.
Much obliged. Allison" accepted
Sargent heartily; that is. II she'll go
with you"
Thank you" said Gail simply. as
she stepped out of the pew.
The gentlemen of the vestry rose
as one man. Old Nicholas Van Ploon
even attempted to stand gracefully on
one leg, while his vest bulged over the
back OF the pew in front Of him.

permanent member Of the vestry,"
smiled Manning, the patriarch, as he
bowed his adieus. We've been need

Willis Cunningham, the thoughtful
one, wedged his Vandyke between the
heads of Standard Cereal Clark and

Sargent" was his thoughtful remark.

turned Gail graciously, looking up into
the organ loft. where the organlst was

They wanted to come to the Cele- bration of the Fourth of July at Skagway, but had no means of get ting to the railway except by walk ing. But small matter of that kind failed to deter them from their contemplated journey, and they set out on foot, reached a deserted shack on the first night, where they stayed over and pushed on the following morning to their destination catching the excursion train from Whitehorse on July 3d.
 They stopped at the home of MT. and Mrs. Henry Friedenthal while in Skagway and had most de- Iight-ul time during their stay. On their return home after the celebra- tion was over, they followed the same course as when they came out -mushed to the deserted shack, where they passed the night, and then on home the next day.
