 1Oh, God" she prayed. give the boys wee arms strength this night! Just this one night - give him strength to save all those. poor"
 Daddy! Daddy! O-o-oh, Daddy!
 The awful cry of mortal terror shrieking storm; and hearing 1t, Mona, Lendoon gave back cry for cry, as she frantically screamed:
 "Oh, God, Neil my boy!" before falling unconscious across the sod- den threshold
 The kitchen clock shruck s, just as the woman on the couch in the front room stirred uneasily. At the first movement of his wife, Brian Lendoon bent over her.
 The Irish-blue eyes opened wearily.
 Have they brought hin1-our little .Neil-home she sobbed brokenly.
 Brought him home-it is? Indeed. then, he brought himself home-and me into the bargain" proudly. Lis bravery this night. there'd not be enough left of Brian Lendoon to hold a decent wake over!"
 She lifted herself weakly and clutched his arm, searching his face sharply.
 Am I dreaming, Brain-or is it true that you are with me. and that our Neil is-is-alive?' she choked, unable to question him further.
 Never a scratch on either of us; and owe my life to the boy-God bless him! Listen!" Throught the tain partition came the boys shrill treble, telling the story to sympathetic Tim Murphy.
 You see, Tim - he was saying, just as I'd managed the switch. l the big yell let out of me; and glory belt brought him back to senses just in time for him 5to roll off Athe track before the train shot by. Yes, sure-'twas the fine yell, I gave!" re- peated Neil, in frank admiration of the voice capable of producing such a fine yell" in time of need.
 Through blinding tears, Mona's eyes asked the question her trembling lips refused to frame; and Brian answered:-
 Tt was tramps-bad luck to them that put me on the track, after beat ing and robbing me of my pay"

 ''"Tis not for the likes of me to be blaming ye, Mona. You had good reason to be mistrustful of me!'' he returned sadly. For men are but weak creatures; though I'm not wanting another experience, such as crippled the boy!" with a shudder, ''No-Tm thinkin' the one lesson was enough for Brian Lendoon!" huskily. But I'd no right to doubt you Bri- | an" persisted Mona penitently, "and you so steady all these years since that time.

 And his wife nodded agreement Boston Record.

the locality where it was supposed to have been being nothing but ice cov- cred sea, places no discredit upon Pearl or the other results of his Polar expedition. It has simply been proven that what misled Peary was an op- tica1 illusion. since MacMillan in his report says that he gained the same impression that Peary did at a dis tance, but closer investigation, the reason for making the trip disclosed nothing but vast tract of ice.
 MacMillan thus verifles Peary even though what was supposed to exist at a distance does not exist. The result is not however barrenless for while a new land always increases interest even in the far north the fact that there is none in that part of the Arc- tic region increases the portion of the globe about which certainty exists.

MAG WILLIAMS FIND,

Not every Arctic expedition results in the accomplishment of its purpose, but from the reports from the Mac Milan party, even though the object of the search was not found, an i'm pression which has prevailed concern ing certain territory has been cleared up.
 From such observations as Peary was able to make on his Polar trip it was his belief that there was a tract of land to the west of his route which had not been previously mentioned. It was given the name of Crocker land and with a desire to make certain of 1t and know more about it MacMillan was sent to establish or disprove the fact.
 That .MacMillan now sends back 'vord that there is no eCrocker land.

FOLLOW LII UP

It doesn't amount to much to get together and talk over conditions. ex- isting shortcomings and advisable steps for their improvement and let it go at that. Talk is cheap, but it needs to be followed by action if re- suits which are desired are going to be obtained.
 This is the situation which sur rounds the Pan American conference. Many valuable suggestions have been advanced. The need of better rela- tions has been emphasized over and over again and suggestions made as to how it can be accomplished. Now it remains for the real work to be done. There are obstacles to be over come which it is well to tackle early and hard, but which 1t must be real ized cannot be removed in a minute
 Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department sizes up the situation well in this respect when he points out that the conference has disclosed the advisability of making it an annual affair with endeavors in the meantime to solve existing problems. It will never do to continue to dream over the possibilities of improvement The problems cannot be left to solve them- selves. There must be a concerted attack based upon the revelations which the conference has secured. Un- less this and all the other nations keep everlastingly at work in behalf of the desired improvements they will not be obtained. An excellent start has been made and if all the countries put their shoulders to the wheel in meeting present demands and in giv- ing support to future conferences the relations of the Americans cannot do otherwise than grow better.

Stories of the War

of shells and immediately sent back the mechanics. It is owing to the French IS guns that the French army has done so well.
 At the front we read in the British newspapers of workmen at home going on strike for another half-penny an hour, or because they are asked to do bit of extra work. What would hap pen if a battalion refused to go into a trench because they had only had a day off after doing forty eight hours What would happen to the Empire if there were sue ha spirit at the front ?
 ''The men in the trenches look upon these fellows at home as stark, staring mad. Strike ought to be absolutely unheard of.
 Tt is a long lane before we reach the turning, and a thorny path that we have to tread in the meantime. But people at home must see to it that more munitions are turned out. Lord Kitchener must have his 300,000 men today rather than tomorrow.
 We must win, but we have got to break down a machine which has been preparing for 45 years. We must let the French know that this country is going to fight with the whole and not with quarter of it's power. Those who talk about its not mattering whether they live under the German Emperor or the British King should see the terrible sights I have seen! Only a strip of water separates us from it!"
 Distribute Papers by Airship.
 When the Germans moved into St. Quentin last fall the bottom dropped out of the newspaper business so far as that city was concerned.
 It therefore devolved upon the Ger mans to supply this need, along with many many others, and they have done it to some extent by the publi- cation of the Gazette des Ardennes. |"
 The Gazette however. has served more than to supply St. Quentin with news as seen through German specta- cles, and it's circulation" thanks to the aeroplane, extends far beyond the borders of the city and even beyond the German French fighting lines.
 The French, since the beginning of the war. have not published the lists of their losses as have the English and the Germans. The latter explain this as due to the peculiar temperament, which would be vastly depressed at an exact knowledge of the terrible cost of the war, and not spurred to extra ef- fort as in the case of the Anglo Saxon race.
 The Gazette des Ardennes, how ever, whenever, it is possible con- tains French death lists giving them feasible names and when not feasible figures and numbers.
 Immediately after each issue of the Gazette there is an airship ascension and one or more German f1iers, loaded with copies of the French paper, fly over that part of France held by French troops and drop the little journal in populous communities The French authorities are far from pleased at this bit of newspaper en- terprise, yet have found no way of stifing 1t. So the Gazette con- tinues to appear about once a week, and the aviators continue to make their flights.
