Work forced me on the way and early
in the day compelled my feet
To follow him. He led me through
the rough and tedious length
OF paths of toll; he placed on me the
load that taxed my strength
And babe me forward. Through the
morning hours and thro' the
heat
Of blazing midday; over pathway
rugged, rough with stone,
Sometimes in treacherous ways where
Danger lurked nearby to leer
Upon the traveller; often fierce foes
contended with me, Fear
Assaulted; then through the solitudes
I went for miles alone.
The evening hailed me from the west,
Desire whispered low of rest,
But l was urged still on and on-foot-
sore and weary, into fading
light;
And suddenly before me in the very
path l pressed a vision shone,
The little cottage with its cleaning
lights like welcomes bright,
TIL inviting freshness, purity, and
charm of quietness serene
Through all the day Work held this
spot in mind for me, had led
My footsteps so that when the dusk
with softening shadows fell
l should have come, prepared by
WEAKNESS, to greet this scene
Of sacred isolation, rest, refreshment,
where the hope is fed
On heavily mama TO ranother day Of
labor. Then I knew twas
well,
The toilsome day, the weary way, to
reach this haven; could give
Yet other days of work and struggle
stern but to achieve
A worthiness for such reward the
homeward-traveling ones re-
ceive-
The well-earned rest in which to
store up strength to bravely
LIVE

Gently employed in a cracker factory,
was arrested last night in his fur
nished room. at S22 West Eleventh

he is accused by the San Francisco
police of stealing, is worth, Achillas
saws. from SIS 900 to 100000.
-"Who should know better than ! who
wrote it p" demanded Achillas.
According to his story. Achillas and
a man whose periidy he did not then
suspect, were inspired 20 write the
comments. When the work was COM
plete Achillas recognized its merit and,
finding his co-worker less appreciative,
he saws. he was able to earn enough
by working in San Francisco streets
with pick and shovel to buy the others
share.
Thrusting the precious manuscript
into his bosom. Achillas fastened 20
New York. Here he obtained work IN
the National Biscuit Company's factory
and began to cast about for that con-
noisseur OF publishers who should have
the comments for, say $4,000.
But his fellow artist had not been
idle. and D. A. White, chief OF police IN
San Francisco. presently informed the
New York police that Achillas was IN

agents of the German Towing Company,

London. July 1s.-The most de-
tailed description Of the British block

address at the American Luncheon
Club. SIR Frank Is the head of great
publishing firm, a member OF the

Committee on Detention OF Neutrai
Ships, presided over by Lord Peel.
Sir Frank called attention to the
fact that the blockade was not estap-

March If, 1915, and that the total
stoppage of Germany's enormous trade
all done through neutrals. was gigan-
tic and difficult business. lie re-

Says Col. Buckner.
EMPLOYEES RUINED
TONS OF EXPLOSIVES

Never Able to Fix Blame
on Any One.

Wilmington, Del. July l9.-The clos
ing argument in the suit for the pos
session of s56,O0O,OO du Pont Powder
Company stock was delayed to-day
while Colonel Edward G. Buckner'
veteran of the powder business and
OF the United States Army, and prom
inent figure in the du Pont corpora
tion. told Of issues of the European
war that have been fought out in dark
ness on American soil.
Colonel Buckner, head Of the mill
tary sales department, testified that the
du Pont company had to be on the
alert TO keep itself out Of the hands OF
a syndicate of German bankers, after 1t
began making powder for France.
The witness also threw sidelights on
the campaign of certain interests TO
damage the product of the powder COM
pany, and gave the additional lnforma-
tion that in the early days of the
war, before the conflict settled down
to something like settled status. the
company had insured its profits,
through Lloyds and other concerns, so
that it might be guarded against loss

tion shipments. ~

"We had much tc consider" Colonel
Buckner said, latter we had entered
into our first contracts We were un-
able to guard ourselves even against
our own employees. We made many
10000 pound lots of powder with the
utmost care. packed it carefully. and
submitted it for the official inspection
Of foreign agents only to find it had
been damaged or made unacceptable IN
various ways"
Nails we're put into powder packages,
Colonel Buckner said, foreign sub
stances were slipped in with the fin
ished powder, and holes were made in
the packages, so that quantities OF tue
powder would leak out.
Very often, the colonel continued,
powder plants would explode without
reason. 1--WE were never able TO fix
the blame on any individual" he con-
tinued, "but the situation was one that
was eloquent in many ways. We had
Congress to fear. too. at the outset"

able witness yet summoned by the de-
