ferent expressions as have the clouds

eyes and mind upon one thing, that

the same" Whereat Charmette, being
very much In love with Billy, fastened
both upon him and her expression was
a happy one indeed. Then when he
would lay his brush aside with a lit
tie weary sigh and tell her that they
were through for the sitting, she would

upon the top Of his head as she puck

herself upon the canvas.
'And do really look like that,
Billy?" she would half whisper while
he was slipping an arm around her
slim waist. Whereat he would say:
"Yes, dear-only of course much
prettier. But / will bring that fact

tidy things up bit as he washed his
hands, then away they would go chat

derful time so soon to come when Billy
would be of age and receive his heri-
tage in America, for when that day
came they were to be married and he
was to take her back to his own land.
"And 1t happens to be next Thanks

what the term meant to those born In
his country across the sea. For Char
mette, being Belgian girl, had never
heard of it until the coming of Billy.

APOLOGY AND EXPLANATION

We regret that here has so far been
no detailed account of the fair in the
Star. The Stars solitary reporter,
who is editor, proof-reader, telegraph
editor, headline architect and few
more things beside, has never yet had
time to more than hit the high places
while going thru the fair.
If the fates are propitious, he will
try to size the fair up in detail this
afternoon, and write story about it
for tomorrow or next day.

A Fierce Yell Bursting From His Lips
hand, fierce yell bursting from his
hot as flame as he realized that they
were charging.
Dimly he was conscious of showers
of invisible things that passed him
in hurtling flight. Huge clouds of
dust arose on all sides and where there
had been level ground suddenly
yawned great pits; thunderous explo-
sions deafened him and he staggered
before the impact of blows of COM
pressed air. On every side men and
horses were going down in groups, in
heaps, in whole windows like wheat
before hail. Before him in a clump
of trees was something that belched
and roared like a dragon, and before
his scattered senses told him that it
was battery he found himself in a
wild bayonet conflict with a pale
haired young man who wore a spiked
helmet, and almost at the mouth of the
belching monster of the brush. Then
as they thrust and parted, suddenly
the fair-haired man went down and
Billy leaped on, not knowing what had
made the other fall, yet vaguely con-
scious that his bayonet ran red. Then
a great darkness engulfed him.
1t was evening and he was lying
upon the bank of a stream that ran
close by his old home. At his side
the brook was tinkling like bells and
the GOODNESS of it's waters was upon
his face. Lord. but he was thirsty. and

Harvest and Peace
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH

Not only for the harvest yield
We stripped from stalks in serried
ranks,
We look across the quiet field
And raise the anthem Of our thanks.
The moonlight hes along the hill
Below a silver river flows
And all the night is sweet and still.
And all the land in calm repose.
Not only for the bounteous store
Of garnered grain we offer praise,
But for the quiet sea and shore,
The nights Of rest, thepleasant days.
As year by year our acres bloom,
AS year by year our hocks increase,
Afar from war and wars red gloom,
We look upon a land at peace.
