Postage Stamp as a Step
toward Economy.

MUNICH, Germany, April 90
One of the most easily effected eco
Monies in the postal service, not only
of Germany. but Of any country,
would be the abolition of the post
age stamp, the Neuste Nachrihten
points out. II recommends the SUBJ
stitution of ranking machine for
the postage stamp, and remarks that
the change would save Germany
nearly 25.000,000 a year.
The franking machine by single
operation would not only imprint the
letter with device indicating that
the postal charges had been prepaid.
but would also put on the postmark
and obyiate the necessity of using
the cancelling machine. This meth
cd is already used in Bavaria and in
New Zealand, while the German field
post has taught the people Of Ger
many that the change is entirely
practicable. THE postage stamp"
concludes the Nachrlchten, though
a great invention, is now obsolete.
Germany has invented the ranking
system, and by developing it, 1t will
be doing civilization a great ser
vice."

NJ ED|CAL MEN
BEING URGED
TO ENROLL
Themselves to Meet an Urgent
National Need in England
as Result of War.


LONDON, April 20-All medical
men throughout the country regard
less OF age, are being asked to enroll
themselves to meet IAN urgent ma
tional need" The work of enroll
ment is being conducted by the med
lcal war committees in England,
Scotland and Ireland.
For military purposes the service
age of doctors is up to As years, but
medical men beyond that age can
give their services to home hospitals
and therefore they, as well as doc
tors Of military age, are being en-
rolled.
The idea of making complete en-
rollment is not only to ensure a sat
isfactory medical service for the
army, but also to safeguard the
needs of the civil population. In
some districts, there has recently
been a great scarcity of doctors, due
mainly to enlistments.
Tho medical war committees also
hope to effect an improvement in the
manner in which medical specialists
OF various kinds are being used,
there have been many complaints
that their services were not being
utilized to the best advantage.
The reports of the committees on
the British medical service in the
war zone state that it is very eff
ficient." In none of the main theaters
OF war has there been any lack Of
high surgical and medical skill. Re

about the service in Mesopotamia,

ton.

who obtains all the assistance that
he asks for and can utilize. In
France, the wounded soldiers are
quickly treated at the front hos
pitfalls. and then rushed to England
for further attention. The transport
and other machinery between the
front clearing stations and the great
hospitals in England has been per-
fected until 1t works almost auto
matically.
Doctors who have enrolled for SER
vice az the front have few complaints.
There have been several instances,
however, in which physicians with q
good practice at home. who have en-
listed for patriotic reasons, have
found that neighbor in the absence
has confiscated their practice. One
of the objects of the scheme of en-
rollment is to prevent such injustices
by making the stay-at-home doctor
do his share in caring for wounded
in the home hospitals.

listening to the story of David

The missioner urges David to

and takes seat in the third

into the eyes of a woman seated
across the aisle. To her ques-

blankly at the log wall of his room. Then
he leaned over again, and held the photo
graph in the lamp-glow. The first spell
of the picture was broken, and he looked
at it more coolly more critically. He
turned it over in his hands, and on the
back of the cardboard mount he saw in
distinct writing. He examined it closely,
and made out family the words: Fire
pan Creek, Stikine River, August" The
date was illegible. That was all. There
was no name.
As he turned the photograph over again,
question after question ran through his
head. What had startled her? Who had
frightened her? What had brought that
half-defance into her poise and eyes? She
was young-almost a child, as he regarded
childhood; perhaps seventeen.
He saw now that she had been wading
in the pool: for she had dropped a stock
ing on the white sand, and near it lay an
object that was shoe or moccasin. 1t
was while she had been wading-alone-
that the interruption had come. She had
turned; she had sprung to the fiat rock,
her hands a little clenched, her eyes flash
ing, her breast painting under the smother
of her hair. And it was in this moment
as she had stood ready to fighter fly
that the camera had caught her. She was
creature of those mountains and that
wild gorge, wherever they were, and
beautiful slender as a flower, lovelier

DAVID set his lips tight. They shut off
quick breath, a gasp, the sharp
surge of sudden pain. Swift as his
thoughts there had come transformation
in the picture before his eyes-and an
other woman was standing there: his
wife. His fingers frightened upon the pho
tograph, ready to tear it into bits. The
cardboard ripped-an inch-and he
stopped suddenly his impulse to destroy.
The girl was looking at him from out Of
the picture with such clear, wide eyes,
surprised at his weakness, wondering,
amazed, questioning him.
His fingers relaxed. He smoothed down
the torn edge of the cardboard as if it had
been wound in his own flesh. After all,
this inanimate thing was very much like
himself. 1t was lost-a thing out of place,
and out of home; a wanderer from now on,
depending largely, like himself, on the
charity of fate. Almost gently he re-
turned it to its newspaper wrapping.
He undressed quietly. Before he turned
in, he placed hand to his head. 1t was
hot, feverish. This was not unusual, and
it did not alarm him. Quite often Of late

had half guessed what he would
- find when he began to unfold the
newspaper wrapping and saw the edge of
gray cardboard. In that same breath had
come his establishment. The night had
been filed with changes for him; forces
which he had not yet begun to compre-
bend had drawn him into the beginning
of a mysterious adventure; they had
purged his thoughts of himself. A few
hours had made him the bewildered and
yet passive object of the unexpected. And
now, as he sat alone on the edge of his bed,
had come the climax of that unexpected.
The girl in the picture was not dead
not merely lifeless shadow put there by
the art of camera. She was alive!
That was his first impression. 1t was as
if he had come upon her suddenly, and by
his presence had startled her-had made
her face him squarely, tensely, little
frightened, and yet defiant-and ready
for flight. In that first moment he would
not have disbelieved his eyes if she had
moved-if she had drawn away from him
and disappeared out of the picture with
the swiftness of bird.
He bent closer into the lamp-glow, and
stared. The girl was standing on a fiat
slab of rock close to the edge of pool
Behind her was carpet of white sand,
and beyond that rock-cluttered gorge
and the side of mountain. She was
barefooted. Her feet were white against
the dark rock. Her arms were bare to the
elbows, and shone with that same white
ness. She stood leaning a little forward
on the rock slab, her skirt a trife below
her knees; and as she leaned thus-her
eyes flashing and her lips parted-the wind
had flung wonderful disarray of curls
over her shoulders and breast. He saw
the sunlight in them; in the lamp-glow
they seemed to move. Her lips quivered
as if she were about to speak to him.
Against that savage background Of noun
tain and gorge she stood out, clear-cut as
cameo, slender as a reed, wild, palpi-
tating, beautiful. She was more than a
picture: she was life. She was there
with David in his room-as surely as the
woman had been with him in the coach
He drew deep breath, and sat back
on the edge of his bed. He heard Father
Roland getting into his creaky bed in the
adjoining room. Then came the mission.
