The father had laid no restrictions
upon her, in giving her this floor for
her use. Rights which he ignored she
could afford to appropriate. Dressing
sufficiently for warmth, she lit a
candle. put out the light in her own

There was an inner door, and this
some impulse drove her to open. A
small closet stood revealed, empty
but for one article. When she saw
this article she gave great gasp:
then she uttered low pshaw! and
with a shrug of the shoulders drew
back and flung to the door. But she
opened 1t again. She had to. One

There is nothing better than an earth

SOME GOOD IN VIVID COLOR
Frenehmen Found Their Red Caps
Useful In Signaling to Their
Alert Comrades.

The French have. with the oncom.
ing OF winter, put into use the recent
ly adopted great coat for infantry. It
Is not. as heretofore. n dark blue. but
blue-gray. The French have left
to their British allies the khaki color,
and they could not adopt tho gray
green hue which had already been
chosen by the Germans. So they ac-
cepted a blue. which is neutral and
from n distance scarcely visible. II
blends with the fog OF the morning
and the smoke OF battle.
As for red. II Is now definitely pro-
seribed. The vermilion military cap
Is covered with blue. So the foot sol.
diers hereafter clothed In shaded
foggy wear will attract less attention
lie Paris. II red offers in tImc OF war
greater danger TO the wearcr. II may
on occasion present some advantages.
The other day wounded soldier re-
counted how he and several OF his
comrades wandered into a position In
advance OF the French lines. As they
were taken for Germans every timo
one stuck his nose above the trench
they drew the FIRE OF our soldiers. All
at once an idea came to them. Thcy
put on the ends OF their bnyoneta
their red caps from which they had
removed the cover. The firlng ceased
and they were enabled TO return 10
