Travers was looking backward over
his life, as he sat, revolver in hand,
before the mirror in the upper room
of his closed house, and it was
strange how all the interests Of the
mature mans life narrowed to those
Of the boy of long ago.
Pictures flashed across his mental
vision and he saw himself again, a
little boy, standing before that same
window and holding his fathers
hand.

girl across the street," he asked his
father.
Because this is a Puritan town,
sonny" replied the man.
What does that mean, father"
ASK your mother, SON."
But it was long before he learned
that the man across the street was
famous atheist lecturer and Stunned
in horror by the narrow society of
the little place, whose Ostracism ex-
tended to the loyal wife and the little
girl.
Travers' father had been willing
enough to be friendly with the man,
but it was the women who ruled the
town, and he had shrugged his Shout
ders and gone his way, as the rest
of the men did.
From his window upstairs the lit
tie boy had stared at the girl, and for
hours the children would watch each
other, ignorant of the cause that pre-
vented them from playing together

Busy With Recruiting Work

Despite the fact that Battery A, Field

brought up to this strength it has been
decided to keep the men in one battery
until full war strength is reached. The
field guns of the local battery were
loaned to the Bethlehem steel works
early in the summer and have not yet
been returned. The Bethlehem works
organized battery but could not get
guns for this summer, therefore. the
local artillery loaned theirs for in
struct.on during the annual encamp-
ment at Tobyhanna. Pa. While wait
ing for their guns the local outfit is
going ahead with foot drills, and every
Thursday night the broad streets in
the vicinity of Union station are the
scenes of much activity and they at
tract a good deal of attention from
passersby who stop to watch the drills.
