Tess reached the little fire alarm box
by the door and before any one could
stop her she had smashed the glass
and turned the key around.
Twelve noon found the girls making
for the stairway in a panic of fear, the
fear of the paper box worker. And
the stairs were filled with the peril
of death, rising clouds of choking
smoke that drove them back. Toms
voice above all called them to the
freight elevator, and Tess was leading
them like a lot of sheep to safety,
when she missed Telka--- She went
back into the smoke just as the fire.

1t was Tom who found her, still
gripping the fainting girl in her
strong young arms, her ankle twisted
in her fall; and he carried them both
to safety. The next day as the steam
er turned slowly up the river in the
flood of late May sunshine Tess snug
gled closer to the broad shoulder be-
side her. There had been a cheer
given for the girl with the red hair
who had given the alarm in time at
twelve noon, but she hardly heard it.

Long Island Suburbs.
BY NIKSAH


Long Island is the safety valve and
salvation of New York. 1t is hard
to see how the big city could get thru
a summer without this hundred miles
of breeze-swept sand. which 1t can
reach in a few minutes by bridge or
tube or ferry. -sTs a
1t is a matter for endless admiration
how Long Island has been made to
meet the needs of New Workers OF
every taste and income. 1t has cheap
beaches where anyone may get
swim for a quarter, and exclusive
beaches where ten thousand year is
regarded as poverty. 1t has sporty
beaches, full of cafes and music, and
quiet beaches where old ladies knit
on shady porches. 1t has millionaire
suburbs from which the many are in
geniously excluded; and middle class
suburbs with their neat little cottages,
looking like advertisements out of
paint catalogues, stuck primly in the
middle of correct little lawns; nd
suburbs for those who have Just
enough money to get out of town in
the summer Most of these latter ar
situated in the lagoon district between
Rockaway beach and the island
proper. They stand on stills in the
shallow water, in the midst of wide
green salt meadows. They are I'M
painted, for the most part, bnt tanned
into soft grays and puppies by the sea
air They are alive with children,
and stout fishermen with long poles
decorate all the wharves, while the
narrow channels between the houses
are full of rowboats and little launch
es. There is more picture and color in
this bit of Long Island than in all
the rest of it put together.

The senate showed wisdom IN vot-
ing down the proposal to tax letters
and postal cards l cent each. All the
money received from such tax prob
ably would have been required to
meet the deficit in postal receipts
which would have followed. Another
reason is that the tax would have
fallen upon those least able to pay, the
wage earners. 1t would not have af-
fected merchants. bankers and others
who are extensive users of the mails.
They would have added it to the cost
of doing business and passed it on to
their customers. In their effort to
place the war tax burden upon in
comes and excess profits the senators
are on the right track. In so doing
they will put it where it can not be
easily shifted and probably will not
be more easily evaded than many 9TH
er forms of taxation. 1t will be nee
essary. however. for the government
TO have a care lest in regulating prices
it cut down profits so that there will
be little left to tax.

Mary Jane Learns Something.

Sunday morning, bright apd early.
Mary Jane was up and out to the
barn to see if the baby chicks had
eaten all the good corn-cakes She had
given them. She peered into the
nest and poked her finger fearlessly
between the soft-feathered chicks.
Not a scrap of corn-cake did she find
They did eat it ALL I knew they
were hungry" cried Mary Jane. Rap
PLY, then she strcked the downy head
of her favorite little chick. ''Tll take
care of you, even if your mother IS A
selfish. old, greedy thing. Eating.
herself, without feeding her babies!"
And Mary James eyes snapped her,
indignation!
"I'II get some breakfast for YOU,
chickies, some brf akfast in a minutei"
sang Mary Jane, and she ran gaily into
the house.
But her own breakfast was lust
ready. so mother persuaded her to
wait and eat while the orn-cakes
were hot Now they are too hot for
chickies.'' mother explained, Mary
Jane sat down to her own breakfast
Whats this about chickeps?' ask
ed Mary JAMES aunt, who had ar
rived the night before for a visit. II
didn't know that>you people kept
chickens"
Mary James mother laughed. We
don't" she FASTENED to explain. These
chickens Mary Jane speaks of are
some brand new chicks that she has
found in the barn across the alley
And they are the loveliest little
things you ever saw" interrupted
Mary Jane eagerly; they came from
their shells only yesterday and their
mother didn't feed them one bit so
1 did"
.'Of course their mother didn't feed
them,' laughed auntie; ''she knew
betteri Chicks should not eat a bit
for three days!'
Mary James eyes opened wide. But
these chicks ate the corn-cakes 1 gave
Them" she cried. They ate every
scrap!"
II wonder now?" said auntie
thoughtfully. when we have finish
ed breakfast We'll go and see-"
MARY Jane could hardly eat a bite
after that-she was SO inpauent--and
she thought her father and, auntie
would never finish visiting. But fl
nally they were all thru and she and
auntie went out across the alley to
the barn.

security of the world could be MADE
effective only by the abolition OF
Prussian military autocracy. at what

caused many people to save money
who never did before. Hundreds
have signed an agreement to buy a
liberty bond, and are steadily putting
away so much of their salaries each
month in order to pay for it. Those
people are, not only helping the gov
eminent, but they are helping them
selves-for they are contracting the
saving habit, and, later on, when they
are not saving for liberty bonds they
will save for something else.
Under these circumstances, the best
thing that could happen to us would
be a call from the government for an
other loan It might be hard at first
to sacrifice the joy rides, cocktails,
bridge and furs and broadcloth. but
we would soon get used to it-even
the business men-and at the end of
the war we would be a cleaner, clever
er and more us-minded people.

The New Republic puts forth a plan
for distributing the next liberty loan
which is worthy of consideration.
We have in our postal system, it says,
an instrumentality thru which an APP
peal could be presented. within a
week, to almost every person in the
country. We should now raise the
postal savings rate to 4 per cent, in
vesting in government bonds the saw
ings as they come in. When each ac-
count has reached a specified mini
mum, say one hundred dollars, we
could exchange it for a four and one
half per cent bond. thus gradually
diffusing such securities among the
population. Every post office. and in
the larger cities every substation.

thing would be gained if every letter
carrier were required to sell savings

DIN SPUR RE 9h MOMENT

Right Now.
When re recall we bruised a knee
Last winter slipping on the ice,
We only sigh and murmur, Gee,
How nice"
It's true we ripped the coat We wore,
It's true cursed the luck of 1t,
It's true we ragged and fumed and swore

Now. while we fan a fevered brow
We fondly think of that same ice.
And oh, to slip upon 1t now
How nice!
An urchin squalling in the night
Doth hardly fill us with delight.
The yowling of a ribald cat,
We're very seldom pleased with that.
The photograph our neighbor owns
But only riles us with its tones.
The grinding of the dentists wheel
Somehow unnerves us a great deal.
Yet worse the office boys who choose
To whistle and wear squeaky shoes.

They live their lives of pleasant ease,
They have few worries, woes or cares,
They travel when and where they please

There seems but little on their mind
They seem to live without a hitch,
In fact, they always seem to find.

We envy not the rich mans show
Of ease and all. Tho, by the way,
