He Wandered On and On.

He wandered on and on, and by the
time he decided to shout for aid he
was at least ten miles from anywhere,
right in the heart of the most desolate
tract in all that wilderness. He slept
somehow that night, and the next day
was the most terrible of all. The Sec
ond night he became delirious-but
through it all he knew that he hated
Molly.
HE had no more knowledge of the
passage of time, but toward evening
he came suddenly upon little desert
ed place in the heart of the forest.
There had been a clearing there once,
and there was still a tumble-down log
cabin. Tarrant approached, trying to
pull himself together sufficiently to ap-
pear intelligent, when suddenly there
emerged from the cabin the most beau
tifuI girl that he had ever seen.
N "Tarrant was not in a condition to
appreciate feminine beauty just then.
but there was some quality in the
girls face that seemed to stun his
faculties, so that he could only stare
and stare at her. 1t was not so much
the physical beauty as the sweetness
of soul, the usefulness and sadness
that set his heart beating tumultuous-
ly, and, at the same time, seemed remi-
niscent of something. He felt that he
had seen the girl before-this country
woman dressed in homespun dress.
ct was impossible, of course. Tar
rant began to wonder whether rein
carnation was true, and whether he
had known her in some previous exist
ence that had slipped from his mem
DRY with his birth. Suddenly he real.
lied that he was behaving rudely. The
girl had turned away and gone inside
the hut.
''Tarrant went in, but, when he en-
tered at last, after knocking repeat
eddy, he found the hut empty. He de-
cided that the girl, alarmed at his be-
havior, had gone out of the back.
Being a gentleman, of course he
could not stay, but he could not resist
taking some bread, rather stale and
dry, and some cold bacon that he
these into the forest and made a raw
enous meal. Then, tired out, and in
ured to mosquitoes, he fell asleep.
cit was earliest dawn when he
awoke. He opened his eyes in aston
ishment, and at first he could not re-
member where he was. Then, all at
once, he saw the girl again, standing
where he had seen her before, at the
door of the cabin.
He approached her very courteous
~, raising his hat. This time she did
not run from him, but stood still and
smiled He apologized for having
frightened her the night before, and
asked her If she could direct him to
his hotel.
HE must have presented a terrific
spectacle, all scratched, dirty and
bruised from his long tramp, and with
the wildness Of delirium still in his
eyes. But the girl only smiled again,
and stretched out her hand, indicating

A factory has been established at

MEMORY OF A KISS.

I cannot tell what the woIEs yreae
In which his love were told;
I only know that heard him
And that my heart grew bold
He kissed my cheeks red roses
And held me to his heart.
Oh, henceforth, dear, together,
No more, no more, to partl
Oh, the roses of summer withers
All beauty will fade away,
But true love will last forever
Forever and a day.
It is natural for young people to
meet, be attracted to each other, seek
the companionship of each other and
drift into love-making without a.
thought as to the outcome of the af-
fair.
Parents will allow their young
daughter to enjoy the society of her
beau quite uninterrupted and even
keep quite mum of the fact that they
saw the young man kiss the girl good
night as he babe her good-by on the
doorstep. Not word could be said IL
the young couple we're betrothed, but
good deal should be said If they are
l.
more sacred than the first kiss of love
a sweet, modest maiden receives from
her lovers lips.
To the man 1t may seem light in
cident-quite part of love-making.
To a maid it means the awakening of
her untutored girlish heart. The kiss
is fleeting, but the memory of 1t Will
linger for all time, so wonderful, so
sacred is it.
The girl who weds her first and only
lover lives a life quite apart from the
woman whose lips have yielded ac-
acknowledgement to half score OF
beaux, who have come, made love,
wearied of the pastime and gone their
way. The true sentiment of the kiss
Is lost upon her.
Girls who indulge in kissing games
at picnic or party grow up to young
womanhood without the proper rever-
ence for the exchange of loves most
sacred seattle kiss. There are
young men too noble to ask for such a
bond of affection when they are not
engaged to the young lady. There
are other young men, and plenty OF
them, who tell the girls that this is
part of the love-making. Il rests with
mothers to warn unsOphisticated
maidens that this is far from the
truth.
Girls who permit the freedom Of
kisses soon lose not only young
mans respect, but his confidence as
we'll. He soon wearies of her and
bows at the shrine Of the girl who
holds her kisses too sacred to give to-
anyone save the man who has pro-
posed marriage to her and has been
accepted.
Too much cannot be said to warn
young women against the danger that
turks in permitting such familiarity.
Seldom, or never, do men marry the
maidens who do not frown on such a
caress offered them.
More girls lose lovers because OF
kiss indulgence than is supposed; it
turns more men than it wins. The
man who is really in love and who is
refused kisses is all the more anxious
to marry and take the girl to home
of their own, where they can kiss to-
their hearts content. With no one to
advise--DON'T.

U
GOVERNMENT
BY MASS MEETING.

Resolutions were adopted at mass
meeting in Atlanta, Ga, Saturday
night asking the recall OF Mayor
Woodward and six other members OF
the board of police commissioners
who recently voted to remove James
L. Beavers as chief. The circulation
of petitions to obtain the necessary
signatures was begun Immediately at
ter the meeting. The object of the
movement was defined by speakers as
"the redemption Of a righteous man
crucified Beavers was charged
with inefficiency and INSTRUMENTATION
by the board and removed from head
of the department.
Believers in law and order through
out the United States have ever re-
garded the doctrines of initiative. ref
erendum and recall as mischievous,
to say the least. If the world is to
be dominated by mass meetings,
governments, in the end, will be as
ropes Of sand. 1t means mob rule,
nothing more.
No public official is minus friends,
no matter how corrupt or inefficient
he may be, and when his superiors
find him a misfit and are compelled
to denote or remove him, he will
always have some apologists. We
know nothing concerning the case Of
the Atlanta police chief, but the Ian
guage used by his friends in his
defense is calculated to bring smiles
"a righteous man crucified." If he
was insubordinate, as charged by the
Mayor and members of the police
board, his removal was justifiable.

by the German Ambassador at Wash
iington, that his country desired peace.
The same is doubtless true OF all the
others.
"But if separat, peace has been
offered Russia and refused, it is a
sign Of lack of Encouragement on ac-
count Of the Warsaw catastrophe and
indicates firm Russian belief that
the outcome of the war will be favor
able to the Allies. The fact that Rus
STA is under engagement to the others
in the alliance to remain in The fight
until the end, would possibly not be
felt binding under circumstances. But
that Russia entertains the ideas OF
separating its interests from those OF
France and England and Italy, is NOT
to be believed.
"The alleged fact for the Russians
is ind cation of the deep-seated desire
of the Teutons to break the lines OF
the Alliance, whether or not they cal:
break through their battlefronts.
German strategy is cease!essly at
work and it is at work to bring the
war to close in the only way that
Germany sees for it to close, namely
by the breaking up of the alliance of
it's foes.
Gust what is the military condi-
ton of Russia the experts are not
agreed. But if this story Of 4 prot
fer of separate peace is no. wholly
unfounded, it would seem to point to
large degree of assurance remain
ing in the country that has borne the
brunt of the battles upon the east

THE CASE OF
BELGIUM.

]. Bernstorff, the German Ampas-
sador to the United States, is sending
from Cedarhurst, N. Y, a pamphlef
of 139 pages entitled "The Belgian
PEOPLES War a Violation of lnterna-
tional Law Newspapers through
out the country have received copies
with the request that the editors give
its contents as we'll as the ambassa-
doris letter the widest publicity.
The editor of the Gazette has not
perused the document closely, but Il
can be stated that the bulk comprises
affidayits of German soldiers and
others of what the Imperial Govern
sment of Germany regards as overt
acts on the part of down-trodden Bel
gians in ''violation of international
law" together with court proceed
ings and Investigations.
The first paragraph of the docu'
ment is about all that it is necessary
to print. 1t is as follows. "1mmed-
lately after the outbreak of the war
in Belgium savage fight was started
by the Belgian civilians against the
German troops, fight which was .
fragrant violation of international
law and had the gravest consequent
ces for Belgium and her people. +"
The book tells of battles with inhabl-
tants of several cities of the captured
country.
The case of Belgium is destined to
go down in history with that of
bleeding Poland, the slaughter of the
innocents and other pathetic chap
tiers. From statements made by the
British Foreign Office, it seems that
the Teutons had for some time prior
to the present war covetous eyes
fixed upon Belgium. 1t was said by
high official that the Netherlands
!. are not equal to the task of govern
ing and developing certain colonies,
but are destined to be drawn within
the orbits of greater nations" Sig
nifcant words.
The violation of Belgian neutrality
will ever remain blot upon Ger
many. The latter was pledged to
respect the neutrality of the little
kingdom, but repudiatd the solemn
compact by invading it when it was
to her interests to do so. The Bel
gians were naturally indignant and
fought in defense of their firesides.
But it was child against man,
and the latter prevailed. But the
action of the Belgian civilians was,
in German eyes. sin unto death,
and while the smaller nation is
wounded and helpless the captor IS
engaged in futile attempts to make
it appear that Belgium has been gull
ty of a violation of international law
because her people fought the invad-
ers in the streets. Should the un-
likely occur and the mailed fist"
come down upon our peaceful coun-
try if we fight for our homes, we,
too. will be guilty of the same crime
