the Following: "Of course the presi-

LONDON, May g. (Sunday.)-The
Observer, one of the most influential
Sunday papers in London, editorially
praises President Wilson's course III
going slowly in the matter of protest
ing to Germany over the sinking Of
the Lusitania. 1t says in part:
Americas course is difficult, but
none can fairly accuse Wilson of pus-
illanimity If he decides against forcible
action. Despite the grievous wrong.
we hold that the United States has
reason for prudent restraint. 1t would
be a blunder if the Americans per-

Hours and hours Ruth sat alone by
the kitchen fire waiting for the last
sound of life 20 die out in the house
that she might rake up the embers and
lock the doors, for she was a notable
housekeeper. this brave young girl. and
took her invalid mothers place as far
as possible in all things.
But while she was sitting alone by
the kitchen fire she heard "A soft rap
at the window, and, looking up, she
saw Johns face in the moonlight, ear
nest and smiling as he beckOned to her.
In the instant the thought flashed
over her, proud and decorOus Yankee
: girl that she was, that he had been
spending the evening with Miss Greg
Ory, and it was worse than impertinent
/ for him to call there on his way home.
/ She would not answer his summons.
She thought he would go away, and so
i he did-from the window, but only to
come quietly IN at the door.
Sitting down on the settee beside
her, he spread his hands over the dy-
ing embers to warm them and said,
with n slight shiyer:
at is chilly out tonight. Ruth. and
l have been thinking Of you"
She turned up her nose a little at
this; but, dreading to hear anything
more that she would think was false,
she told him very quietly:
II saw you go down the lane with
Miss Gregory early this evening. 1
should think it most likely that you
had been thinking Of her since then"
John turned and looked at her, lots
of fun brimming up in his brown eyes.
But when he saw how tired and sad
she looked he answered her gently:
"NO, little girl; have been thinking !
Of you, as l said, and the last thing l |
did before coming here was to drink |
a cupful Of tea and eat Il piece of pie |
Of your making. While l drank the |
tea l was thinking-no doubt it will /
sound foolish to you-but l was think
ing how every one Of those little grains
had been cuddled in the palm Of your
hand as you measured them out. and
the pie was as sweet as though you
had stirred the mince with your finger
before putting it between the crusts."
Ruth was laughing and blushing Ot
his foolish words, and he, enjoying her
confusion, put up one hand and drew
her head down ON his shoulder.
81 don't know what you mean" she
said presently. Il haven't turned cook
for Miss Gregory"
NO" he interrupted her; Il forgot
that you didn't know where l had
been. Tom Gregory was thrown from
a colt tonight, and they thought his
leg was broken. His sister came across
lots for me to go down there and see
what l could do for him. We didn't
like to stop at your house for help,
because you had so much company, so
we went and got Ma'am jefferson and
took her over with us. We made the
boy as comfortable as we could, and
she said no bones were broken. So
then l went home with her. and there
was the fire your care had frightened,
and the tea and the pie"
The girls heart was beating very
fast as John said, MY Thanksgiving
will be complete. Ruth. If you will
promise to he my wife"
After they were married she told him
hat the pie had been made on pur.
pose for him.

The whir Of the loom. the clack of the mill,

For the horse Of flame on the road Of steel
And the wireless voice that makes loud
appeal.
For our busy marts and our busy streets,
Where the white, black, brown and yel-
