It has outlived It's sentiment, my
DEAR" said Mrs. Moore quietly. at
was given to me years ago by my first
sweetheart. He married another, and
SO did I. I was very happy, too, with
your dear father. Take the sixpence.
1t would have been yours, anyway,
some day"
So Celia took the sixrence and noted
with a thrill that the date was the one
required in the advertisement-lS70.
It would indeed be wonderful If it
should happen to be the missing half
! for which the mysterious L. K. b. ad-
yertised. Visions Of her mothers res
toration to health made her quite hap
J Ply again.
That is how it happened that Dick
Worthing was thrilled at receipt of
little unsigned note in familiar hand
writing, bearing an address that was
strange to him, for the Moores had
moved since the estrangement. 1t
couldn't be Celia, though" be told him
self.
At seven o'clock Dick rang the bell
of apartment B, his half of the broken
siXpence in his vest pocket.
Celia Moore's pale face greeted him
at the door.
"Why-I-er-Dick! she cried all
in a breath.
And Dick gasped about the same
thing, only his exclamation ended in
Celia's name.
II didn't expect you, Dick" MUIR
INJURED Celia as she led the way to the
little parlor, but her eyes were very
glad. So glad, indeed, that Dick put
his arms around her then and there
and declared nothing should part them
again.
After a long, long while Dick re-
membared something.
Funny thing, darling, I didn't know
you'd moved" he exclaimed. II in
tended to call at apartment B."
This is apartment B." explained
Celia, equally amazed. you didn't
come about a sixpence"
II did. That was your letter after
all?"
So after many explanation Celia
brought forth her half of the sixpence,
and marvellous to relate, it fitted Dick S
half perfectly.
Did your Uncle Joe know all about
me and about my mother?' questioned
Celia at last.
Dick nodded. ":Of course! l couldn't
talk enough about you, l remember
| he once told me that he used to know
girl named Celia Dupee, who had
married a man named Moore"
THAT was mothers name-and,
Dick, your Uncle Joe must have been
her first sweetheart! And perhaps he
guessed that she still had the broken
sixpence, and in sending you after it
why, he was mending our broken en-.
gagement and making you happy,
tool"
BLESS his heart!" muttered Dick
with misty eyes, But, dearest" he
added, with a shudder, he was taking
some chance in reckoning that your
mother would keep that half of the
siXpence."
Celia smiled wisely.
"Your Uncle Joseph understood
women" she said.

A Community's Job.

It is little use for the local editor
to waste his lungs and sprain his
spine on trying to boom town when
the citizens all stand around with
their hands in their pockets and in
differently wait for something to turn
up. If the capitalists or business
men do not put their shoulders to the
wheel and do little boosting 1t is
useless for the editor to try and boom
things. He can write boom articles
until he gets bald headed, but If the
citizens themselves do not tako hold
and push the town will forever stick
In the mud. Of what use is it for the
local paper to suggest improvements
and new enterprises If the suggestions
are never acted upon? One man can
not boom a town. 1t requires the
concerted action of the citizens. When
one man shoulders a town and at
tempts to carry it there are always
a lot of cranky kickers ready to jump
on top of the load.-Valley Times.

MUCH TIME FOR PREPARATION
Three Months Needed to Make Ma
chine Gun-War Department Has
1sO,ooo,ooo Cartridges on Hand.

The government small arms fac
tories have a maximum productive
power of $500 rifles day and pri-
vate concern at New Haven and lion
of 1000 a day, or in all a million a
year.
1t takes three months to make a ma
chine gun and four to make a field gun
or howitzer.
American munition plants can turn
out 3O,OO0OOO rifle cartridges a week.
In fact, they are doing it. The war
department has 180,O0O,OO0 cartridges
on hand.
To make smokeless powder takes
from thirty days to five months, &C
cording to the size of the grains. The
largest grains are an inch and
a. half by an inch, used in big guns.
Drying the powder is what delays the
manufacture.
1t takes three months to make a
shrapnel shell. The task Is in the
manufacture of the fuse, which re-
quires expert workmanship.
It takes six months to make tor
pedo, the submarines weapon, and
the cost is $500. The projectiles
must be tested with great care.
Submarine mines are easily and
quickly made.
It takes only two or three weeks
to make an aeroplane. 1t takes lon
ger, however, to train aviators to run
them.
Il takes six months to make a SOL
der out Of a raw recruit

To Make All Shoes Comfortable.

Everyone hates to break in new
shoe and doubtless with this idea IN
mind two Milwaukee inventors, Harry
M. Klingenfeld and Arthur H. Inbusch,
have patented No. 1,14O,599, a machine
for breaking in shoes in which, there
is an endless belt travelling oTer a
suitable base and leglike levers have
suitable foot portions to receive the
shoes and are operated to move in
stimulation of a walking action upon
the travelling platform SO that the
shoes may be actually broken in by
Walking movement. - Scientific

Solid Alcohol Fuel.

The raw fuel, solid alcohol, is a
helpful means Of enjoying hot beV-

Special small stoves are constructed,
under which can be burned the small
container of solid alcohol. This needs
only to be lighted with match and
the fame is put out by placing the
cover over the can. 1t is hot fuel

BARBED WIRE IN WAR.
II 10 Used In Various Ways and 10 |
Deadly Defense.

Il 10 Used In Various Ways and 10 .
Deadly Defense.
Barbed wire is today as necessary a
part Of an army's equipment as pom
toons or trenching tools. In war barb
ed wire is used in various ways, but
its main object is man stopping. 1t Is
interlaced with ground pegs in front OF
trenches for the purpose Of tripping
charging troops, it is strung across
bridges and main roads to prevent the
passage Of cavalry, and it is used fol
fencing In camps to guard against
rushing tactics on the part Of the en-.
envy.
Whenever possible barbed wire en-.
tanglements are hidden in long grass
or In hedges, SO that advancing troops
will be trapped while the enemy rakes
their lines with shot and shell. Barbed
wire concealed In underground Is par
ticularly deadly where cavalry II CON
cerned, for the wire grips the horses
hoofs, causing them to fall on the
spike strewn ground.
At times certain roads that 1t IL de-
sirable to have passable to townspeo-
pie have to be rendered impossible to
an army. To accomplish this zigzae
fences Of barbed wire are built from
one side of the road to the other until
they form a maze. A peasant with
time to spare can pass this barrier by
laboriously threading his way through
the narrow zigzag passage left open
but an army Of several hundred men
especially II they have guns or are
mounted, must halt to destroy the en-
tanglement
The barbed wire used for military
purposes possesses long, jagged joints
which inflict most painful wounds or
the body, especially when men and
horses fall on to them headlong, as &C
often happens.-Philadelphia Press
