hand, trained by the years of pinch

into a safer position. He smiled at her
action; then his arm closed about her
spasmodically and he swallowed a
lump in his throat.
The afternoon was waning. Gradu-

stole the gardens June-time spirit of
drowsy repose.
They leaned even closer to each
other. The gray of the old mans hair
mingled with the gray beneath Ange-

closed. Then even as Angy wondered
who would watch over the slumbers of
his worn old age in the poorhouse, she,
too, fell asleep.

A Cleveland attorney took the Medi-

his first time across the water, and
he stated on his return that he would
have had a perfectly glorious time but
for the silly questions asked him by
customs officials. 1t was on the pier
at New York that his woes came to a
climax. The officer looked up in
amazement. open your trunk,

TN clothes for little girls as we'll

'f~ur-cloths" (by which name the new
pushes are called) will be found ex-
~ceptionally good. They are woven
more supple than ever, in a greater

Pushes are used for coats, for neck
pieces and muffs and for hats made to
be worn by children, big and little.
They answer all these purposes for
grown-ups and furthermore are COM
bined with cloth or velvet in street

Muffs and neckpieces, much to be

a hat or cap to match, and they are
simple enough in construction to be

A hat of notified plush, In cream

pink plush and trimmed with a fat

A wide black lace in princess design

Revers of satin are set on the bod

CHAPTER III.
The Candidate.

The Candidate.
The butchers boy brought the It'd
ings of the auction sale in at the
kitchen door of the Old Ladies' home
even while Angy and Abe were lin
gering over their posies, and the in
mates of the home were waiting to
receive the old wife with the greater
sympathy and the deeper spirit of
welcome from the fact that two of
the twenty-nine members had known
her from girlhood, away back in the
boarding-school days.
"Yop," said the boy, with one eye
upon the stout matron, who was criti-
cally examining the meat that he had
brought. "Yop, the auctions over, an

you, Miss Abigail? You won't find
a better, nicer, tenderer and more
juicier piece of shoulder this side Of
New York. Take it back, did you say?
All right, ma'am, all right" His face
assumed a look of resignation: these
old ladies made his life a ~martyrdom.
He used to tell the "fellers" that he
spent one-half his time carrying orders
back and forth from the Old Ladies'
home. But now, in spite of his meek
ness of manner, he did not intend to
take this cut back. So with Machia-
vellian skill he fastened on with his
gossip.

Just this seems to be what the

NOT THE LAST WAR

Few Americans who have studied
the European conflict at close range
return with any false notions about
disarmament, at this juncture, being
an insurance against war, or with
the idea that the struggle now being
waged is the last great war.
Irwin Cobb, for example, having
been for some years engaged in
newspaper and magazine writing and
having seen previous service as a
war correspondent, is not of a
panicky temperament. In answer to
question put to him at the Ma
tional Press Club, he said: "This is
not the last war. 1t will breed q
whole spawn of wars"
Neither is Mr.. Cobb lacking in
patriotism, but with characteristic
journalistic frankness he remarked
to another questioner, "One million
volunteers from the United States
would stand no show against $4,000
German soldiers. This applies a.
we'll to 100000 men from any othel
country"

of it's glamour, and to paint it il
sordid, gruesome colors. He has no
