False Friends-A Modern Fable.

From the Philadelphia North American.
A certain merchant who had suffered
grievously from business depression was
one day gratified by the appearance at
his establishment Of a group of his best
customers. Already owing him for heavy
bills Of goods and DESTROYS Of purchasing
trade, these customers came to propose
a longer term Of credit, agreeing that II
he would arrange a credit loan to them
they would leave the entire sum in his
hands, to be drawn against for goods he
supplied.
Having a vast surplus both of merchan-
disc and money on hand, the ~storekeeper
was delighted with the chance to make a
turnover with his stock, and promptly
began to talk business.
Some mischievous persons Of the neigh
borhood, however, objected to the plan.
For personal reasons, they wanted the
prospective customers deprived of the
goods, and they expressed their discon-
tent with the proceeding by loud and
abusive cries, calls for the police, threats
of boycott and showers Of brickbats
aimed at the shop windows. For they not
only called the buyers opprobrious names,
but bitterly denounced the merchant al
so, declaring that he should shut the door
In the faces of his customers and let his
goods rot in his warehouses. as evidence
Of the higher neutrality.
And the angular thing about his agi-
tation was that the disorderly persons
protested that they were the merchants
dearest friends and were trying to de-
stroy his livelihood for his own good.

Cape Cod Canal a Busy Waterway.

From the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
An idea of the value of the Cape
Cod canal to shipping is given in the
fact that more than $500 vessels have
passed through this waterway since it
was opened in the summer of 1914,
each Of these vessels saving something
like 70 miles of travel and avoiding
the dangerous route around Cape Cod.
One of the largest Of these vessels was
the Tenbergen, a Dutch steamer Of
1896 tons. Many government vessels
have passed through the canal, among
these being the submarines KS and
KS. which made the trip from Bos-
ton to Newport at an average rate Of
II miles an hour. Only As minutes
was required by the two submarines
in making the passage through the
canal.

no warning outcry-only a stricken
humble penetrated through the band
ages that wrapped his jaws and the
lower part Of his face. A sanitaire
found him and pointed the way to the
tent. Can you get there without

the stained bandages came a wordless
humble and the man nodded. /,
1t was some two or three hours
later that the sanitaire who had &C.

He put his hand on the mans arm
to draw him along; at that touch and
the friendly compulsion of it the
wounded man jerked back, dragging
his arm free. His wound, it seemed,
he could bear, but not hands laid upon
him. He hesitated. as If he would

Then the firing party, ten men and
an officer, tramped up. halted with a

toward it, exchanging a salute with
the officer in charge.

they settle there and roam no more. The
young mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts Of love. The hours pass too
swiftly for them when they are by her

at everything she hears; goes into rap

With devotion's plant, the words are on
