Marcel added, while Bourke gasped
for breath, that the gentleman in ques-
ton had spoken to him alone, in the
absence of other walters, and had
been fobbed off with lie.
But why-Bourke wanted to know
had Marcel lied to save him, when the
truth would have earned him hun

Because" Marcel explained coolly,

Now the Irish have their faults, but
ingratitude is not of their number.
Bourke, packing hastily to leave
Paris. France, and Europe by the first
feasible route, still found time to ques-
ton Marcel briefly, and what he
learned from the boy about his ante
cedents SO worked with gratitude upon
the Irishman's sentimental nature that
when. On the third day following, the

Marcel, rejecting that Bourke' S
reckoning was still some louis shy,
made no bones about pleading guilty.
Intercepted, the culprit deposed that
he had taken the money because he
needed it to buy books. No, he wasn't
sorry. Yes. it was probable that,
granted further opportunity, he would
do it again. Advised that he was ap-
parently case-hardened young crimi-
nal, he replied that youth was not his
fault; with years and experience he
would certainly improve.
Puzzled by the boys attitude,
Bourke agitated his hair and won
dered aloud how Marcel would like it
if his employers were informed of his
populations.
Marcel looked panied, and pointed
out that such course on the part OF
Bourke would be obviously unfair; the
only real difference between them, he
explained, was that where he flched
louis Bourke filched thousands, and
if Bourke insisted on turning him over
to the mercies of Nine. and Papa
Troyon, who would certainly summon
sergeant de vile, he, Marcel, would
be quite justified in retaliating by
telling the prefecture de police all that
he knew about Bourke.
This was no chance shot, and went
home When, dismayed. the Irishman
clustered, demanding to know what
the boy meant by his damned impu-
dence, Marcel quietly advised him
that cre knew what one knew if one

Covington, Va. vi am very glad to
say DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is the best medicine for women. I
have known about it for over twenty
years. I began using it for female
trouble and it did so much good that
I had great faith in it. I used it be-
fore the birth of three of my children.
1t made me comfortable, built me up,
and made me over from shadow 100
lbs. or less) to I45 lbs, and was
correspondingly stronger at the same
time. Again, I used it as a tonic at
about forty-fve and it worked wonders.
1t built me up and did more than any,
thing else. l am better and stronger
every way and feel deeply grateful to
DR.. Pierce for this woman's medicine"

The truth that everybody Shout
observe a. he progresses through
this uncertain world is that there's
good in everyol e; that no man
lives who has not in his nature
somewhere some good, and it !:
the duty of every body to find thai
oft the first thing; and very often
he will find that the good is the
MOTOR part of the mans makeup
To discover the good qualities OF
another is not only a service to
that other but to oneself also.
Indeed. man who will not see
any good in Others is himself Il
mean man. His heart is cold anu
his brain is scant. But if he sees
whatever worth there is in others.
his sympathies enlarge and his
views broaden. There is the great
good in seeing good in others Ii
makes a man of one and lifts him
above the sordid levels of life.
If we wanted to test the MANI
Illness of man, we would get bis
opinion of his neighbors. If there
was one of them in whom he saw
no good we would mark him down
We would hardly expect him to see
the same good in all, but If hf
would anaiize his observations
closely and seek an equilibrium Of
conditions he would find NJ serious
difference among them; not St
much difference as to raise feel
ing of more dislike than friendliness

Meat Prices to

The British Embassy is supply

We have ii period of higher price s

trade experts have been ha guessers

i 9 $i0 hogs and eaisly $40 beef by

ever, tndy since war started.
"Nhy | g"t the notion that
prices are Certain to tend pretty
steadily upward is that Germany
and Austria are using every effort
to get all the meats and dairy sup
plies from HoIIond, Denmark,
Switzerland, and Scandinavia The
need is pressing, and these are the
only sources on which the interior
empires can draw. These four lit
tie countries, it happens, have
been heretofore supplying a large
part OF the meat and dairy neces-
saries of Great Britain. | get the
impression that the competitor be-
weea Germany and Britain, each
trying to keep these supplies away

and numbers of animals to a low
roint, and that there will soon
have to be heavier drafts on the

Aeroplane Building
In A1nerca

A dozen or more aeroplane fac
tories are located in this country,
at Buffalo and Ithaca, New York ;
Boston and Marblehead, Mass !;
Dayton, Ohio; and in New Jersey
and California The Curtiss plant
at Buffalo is perhaps the largest in
the world. Together with the
Burgess Company. of Marblehead,
Mass. with which the Curtiss Com
pany has recently combined in
order to be able to take care of the
large number of war orders receiv-
ed,) the two plants are credited
with capacity of ten machines a
day. This rate of output compares
favorably with that of the com
bined factories of France, which IS
thirty machines a day, and the
factories of Great Britain, which is
twenty-five machines. The Curtiss
Company recently closed an order
for SIS, 100000 worth of aeroplanes
for the British government. Another
odrer the from same source report
ed last month was for twenty en-
ormous triplanes, costing SIS 600
each. France, it may be remarked
is appropriating the huge sum of
SIG, $50, 900 for aviation alone, for
the second quarter of this year.
When it is that at this rate the
appropriation for the entire year
would be over $66 900, 900, the im-
portance of aviation in the war
will be realized. American flying
schools, also are busi!y engaged
teaching men to navigate the air.
During the winter season these
schools are located mostly IN the
South at Newport News, Va /,
