The war in the near east has been
responsible for number of little sto-
ries about the inhabitants Of the Bal

One Of the latest and most pathetic Of
these tells how a soldier leading a
horse stopped before the door Of a
peasants house in Old Servia. The
householder came forward, smoking a
long pipe.

Not the Tragedy She Thought It Was.

Things are not always what they
seem, as wealthy old lady recently
discovered in Paris. While passing
along the Rue Cardinal Lemoine she
saw a crowd gathered round an omni-
bus. Elbowing her way through to
the front, she was Mortified to see two
legs protruding from between the
wheels of the vehicle. The rest of the
dreadful story was too obvious. With
a piercing scream the lady fell faint
ing into the arms of some of the other
spectators. The commotion caused
by madame's fainting fit took the in
terest of the crowd away from the
man beneath the bus, who, in mis- turn.
dropped his spanner and crawled out
to see what the counter-attraction
was. When the old lady recovered she
would not believe that what she had
seen was only the driver tightening
nut under the omnibus. They are
hiding the truth from me-" she NUT
tered as she continued her walk.

AN AVERAGE COUPLE
That Was lust Why They Loved
Each Other So
Much.
BY HENRY p. BENTON.

In the first days Of their engage
ment Ralph and Cynthia loved each
other to distraction. Ralph Blair
was twenty-five, and had q pros
porous future in thu office of the tele-
phone company; Cynthia was Just a
nice American girl of q well-to-do fam
lily. The. , could not have been q
more average couple in the world.
That was just why they loved each
other SO much They had grown up
in the same circle in the same town;
they had always been expected to
marry, and they we're to be married
at the end Of the year.
II tell you. I'm as happy as a king,
old man." said Ralph to his chum,
Peterson. 1T seems as though I want
to sing all the time"
How long have you been en-
gaged?" asked Peterson gloomily.
1.-TWO weeks" answered Ralph
ecstatically.
''Wait till it's two months" said
Peterson darkly.
Henry Peterson was rearly thirty.

permanently blighted by an unfor-
tunate and mysterious love affair a
year previously. The discriminating,

First Idea of Steam PIowIna.

The idea OF the use of engines and
machinery to pillow the ground seems
to hav originated with David Ram
sey ana Thomas Wildgoose in 1913,
but the motive power they proposed
to use is not quite clear. Francis
Moore in 1863 first attempted to use
the steam engine for this purpose.

When he awoke next morning he
hoped that the tie would look better
by daylight. Instead Of which Il
looked worse. 1t was not only yellow
and red. but it had a pale green
stripe in the fabric. which Ralph had
not noticed in the gaslight.

out the youngest bookkeeper at the
Office. "Say, Blair, you ain't married,

ing up a ledger, and the youngest
bookkeeper discreetly withdrew into
himself. But Blair cod not avoid
overhearing whispers which seemed
meant for his ears. In the street,
too, boy looked at him and, with
his eyes fixed on his throat, asked for
light.
The naxt morning, when he was
not wearing the tie, he met Cynthia
in the street. Her manner was cold,
to say the least. Ralph resumed his
neckwear, and. returning to the Office,
encountered Peterson, who grinned
maliciously.
The final blow was the matter Of
the haircut. Ralph had incautiously
remarked that his hair was growing
long.

perching herself upon the arm of his
chair, what are our lives going to
be-"
ITO be?" repeated Ralph. "why-
lives, l suppose"

nodding. But are they going to be

aspiration, and filled with sublimity,

a political banquet.
1t had been great evening. At last
1t seemed that life was about to give
him what he most wished for. His
dearest ambitions were, apparently
about to be realized.
He had been called on as a stanch
Conservative to add his quota to the
already wonderful array Of brilliant
perorations of seasoned statesmen and
| admirable speakers. Kingsnorth had
excelled himself. Never had he spo
ken so powerfully. Being one of the
only men at the banquet who had en-
joyed even brief glimpse Of Ireland
he made the solution of the Irish ques
ton the main topic of his speech
