ON equal terms.

On coual terms.
The room was literally wrecked be-
fore Burton resolved to bring matters
to Il climax. once and for all. Excrting
his great strength to the utmost, he
wrenched himself free, delivered IL
mighty punch and Parkins went down
like q stone.
BY this time Jane was overcome with
terror. She wept bitterly and could not
control herself, even when Johns pro-
tecting arm was around her shoulders
The mere sight Of Parkins lying in
sensible on the floor seemed to shake
the wits out of her. Selling her hat
and coat, she ran out of tho building,
and Burton could do nothing but fol-
low her, wondering where she was
going and how he was to restore her
f-possession
At that unlucky moment he saw Mrs.
Kctchum coming down the street. and,
remembering that she was reputedly a
leader Of the Sunragist party, decided
that he might safely intrust the fright
encd girl to her care.
There never was woman moro
perplexed than tho keeper of no
torious dive when the mayoral candi-
date introduced Jane and began a
hasty explanation.
This young lady, as you see, is very
greatly upset" he said. "It will be
personal favor to me if you will take
her to your house and safeguard her
there until other arrangements can be
made
At that, though tongue tied with as
constituent. Mrs. Ketchum thought she
understood. She nodded agreement,
whcreupon John hailed Il taxi, put the
two women inside and handed the
driver some money But the fog of
doubt was rapidly evaporating in Mrs.
kctchum's brain. All men were alike,
she reflected. so she favored John with
Il knowing wink as the vehicle drove
off. thereby mystifyinE him greatly
until he remembered that suffragettes,
like the Pharisccs. are not as other
people.
Meanwhile. Parkns slowly recov-
cred his sense. The fight and tho
knockout had partially cleared his
drink-soddcn wits, and the one thing
he craved for now was revenge. Every
other consideration yielded to tho de-
mand that his powerful and seemingly
successful rival should be Inundated.
He avoided both Maloney and Bur
ton. The former thought him busy
rounding up the boys" The latter
was too cngrossed in election work
to think of causing a row between the
partners at that crisis. Moreover. he
allowed for the fact that Parkins was
drunk, and had been punished suf-
iciently already.
So a vindictive scoundrel was left
free TO work out his desperate plan.
At the psycholog lcal moment he rushed
around TO Burton's supporters with the
specific instruction that their candi-
date was to be turned down"

owe a tribute to those who are des.

Blood is being ruthlessly wasted
in the arena of war in Europe. War
has no value to place on human
blood. Grows and vultures have
better idea of its worth than the
giants of war.
But here in our Christian coun-
try blood, at least, has a value
Some who have tided the ftful Pc
riod of infantile paralysis may need
$5 for an ounce of blood, but in
nine cases out of ten the volunteer

his lips that each drop will save
human life -Commercial Appeal.

What ihe School Year Means.

The opening of the school year
is vital date to all children. To
many of them it is the one chance
to get foot-hold in life. Their
homes may not be helpful. If
they fail to get what the school has
to give, their whole lives will be
spent amid scenes of failure and
misery.
The school offers the open door
of opportunity to all. If it's ad-
vantages are grasped to the utmost,
a larger life opens. But it is
pathetic fact that many children
can't seem to get into touch with
school work.
II their parents have permitted
them to be little street Arabs these
wild habits will accompany them
to the school room, They irritete
the teacher, and drift into an atti-
tude of hostility and rebellion.
They make little progress in their
books, and are the ones who drop
out at an early age to 60 to work.
An obligation rests on teachers
and school authorities to be very
patient with these little ones.
There may be in their hearts the
germ of fine qualities. If they can
but be won to spirit of work and
cooperation, the whole current of
their lives is changed.-Yazoo Sem

The Price of Blood.

(-rhe cheapest thing in Europe
to-day is the blood Of healthy men,
who go to the front and sacrifice
their lives on the altar of greed,
ambition and evarice.
The price of blood in New York
today has no commercial value, but
it has Christian value, so sweet,
80 inspiring that when man or
woman gives it up that others may
be saved it is something inspiring
to contemplate.
1t has been discovered, through
the intricate methods of science,
that the blood of child, man or
woman, who has been cured of
infantile paralysis, is the serum
necessary to cure others who may
be suffering with this same dan
gerous af1iction.
A call was issued by the health
department of both Brooklyn and
New York for donations of such
blood.
The call was followed by an
other offering to pay S. for any
volunteer who would yield little
of his blood that others might be
saved.
For $5 man who bad recently
recovered from an attack came to
Lewis L. Delafeld, Jr, chairman
of the serum committee, and gave
10 ounces Of blood. He received
only S.. When this was handed
to him he modestly requested that
it be paid the next volunteer, who
possibly might need it more than
he did.
Talk, of your modern martyrs,
your ideal of Christian charity, here
you find it so perfectly illustrated
that our hearts 60 out with spirit
of love for those who will do so
much that others might be saved.
It is true that they have walked
through the valley of the shadow
of death, and because of their
thankfulness for having come
through in safety feel that they
