PLEA THAT SELDOM FAILS
Large Sums From Generous Trav-
elers DIOR Our Soldiers"

Not the least important of the meth.
DDS by which our soldiers at the front
are kept literally supplied with those
small luxuries which cost little, but give
~unbounded pleasure to the brave fight
ers, is the persistent efforts made by
the women collectors who meet the
trains to and from Paris and make col
lections among the passengers. "For
our soldiers, please" is their plea, and
the response is usually immediate and
generous, especially when the carriages
are filed with men, women and chill
dren on their way to the country or the
sea for an outing.
"For our soldiers, please" With this
plea they approached the people in
other pleasure resorts surrounding the
city. Clad in the Uniform Of the Red
Cross, which is in itself an appeal,
these women approach the travelling or
pleasure-seeking people, armed with
the money boxes, and are irresistible.
The spirit of unity and the spirit of
gratitude combine to make the efforts
of these collectors so notably success
full, and thousands upon thousands of
francs are daily gathered in the great
centers.
Everyone, the working women In the
ammunition factories, domestic serv-
ants and the ladies of the higher class
of society are combined into a union to
assist the country and the soldiers who
are daily risking their lives on the field
of honor.-From ILLUSTRATION.

son, accompanying the words with a
peremptory wave of the hand. He
would fain have kept this a~ffectionate

nized grewsomely that just at present
ne was not able to keep himself. To
his surprise, the dog refused to bulge,

unused Hudson. 1.-THE animal wishes
me to go with him. Why? Where?"
To the strange persistency Of the
collie Hudson gave attention now. The
animal released his hold of the coat
the moment Hudson changed his
course. Now, quite animated and wag-
ging his tail in a satisfied way, the dog
trotted ahead of Hudson.
"Our canine friend seems to have
some use for me, / see, and I'll follow
the adventure to the end" decided
Hudson.
1t pleased his fancy and 1t made
Hudson forget his hunger, for he was
hungry. He was neither discouraged
nor hopeless. His was too bright a
spirit for that. He had come from a
country town, an orphan, with only a
brief experience as a clerk in a local
general store, and had for two months
found a position in a city business
place. The firm had failed. Since
then. with empty pockets, the daily
program, had been a quest for new EN-
ployment.
Bad as the situation was. Hudson
had inherited from 1t a most pleasing
memory. 1t was one of Hazel Ross.
She had worked in the same Office. She
had liked him, seemed to have few
friends, and there was an undertone
of sadness in her life that made Hud-
son believe she was under the stress
of trouble or sorrow. He had, how
ever, intruded on this, although
a mutual confidence and interest had
grown up between them. Then the
break in employment put an end to
their pleasant eompanionship.
The sweet, patient face of Hazel
Ross. her gentle guiding ways, had
made a better man of him. They had
inspired the hope that some day he
might reach the crest of fortune and
ask her to share LIES experience with
him.

Very soft satin, crepe georgette, or
other supple materials are demanded
for these frocks, which would not be

Benefits OF sleen.

Sleep is not a matter of convenience,
but a necessity. 1t should be made a
comfort and the sleeping should
be the most pleasing place to its occu-
pant of all places in the house. Far
more time is spent in the sleeping room
than in any other place during the
course of "a hours. Almost every
healthy adult fequires eight hours
sleep, II the system is kept up to its
highest standards of health. and
many require several hours more The

After a steady progress OF over a

lot In a poor neighborhood. In its CEN
ter stood the wreck Of "A nee preten-
tious mansion. The upper windows
were projected by closed iron shutters.
Below, closed inside blinds shut out
the merest view beyond the old and
dismantled window frames. Every
thing suggested decay and dlsuse.
The dog led the way to a doorless
entrance to the cellar. Its dlmness
caused Hudson to cautiously grope his
way. His guide assembled a flight of
steps and passed down a damp, dismal
hall, hating at a closed door. The
animal looked up into Hudson's face.
"He has done his part. Does mine
lead beyond that door?' Hudson ques-
toned himself.
The animal grew impatient, lifted a
paw and noiselessly tapped at the
closed door. Hudson leaned forward
and listened ~intently.
"Help"
The utterance was weak, but
freighted with agony. Hudson pushed
open the door. Upon q couch in a cor
