 She flew down the hall to the living room. Monohan stood just within the front door gazing irresolutely over his shoulder. He took step or two to meet her. His clean cut face was drawn into sullen lines. deep flush mantled his cheek.

She felt and fought against slow yelling of tears to her eyes, Before she sensed that she was betraying herself Monohan was holding both her hands fast between his own gripping them with a fierce, insistent pressure, speaking in a passionate un- dertone.
 Why should we have to beat our heads against a stone wall like this?" he was saying wildly. "Why couldn't we have met and loved and been hap py, as we could have been? It was fated to happen.

COMMANDEER ALL TIN.
Navy Department Seizes All Stored
 in New York Warehouses.

Washington, Nov. 2S. Protest by canners against government com mandeering of tin revealed today that the Navy Department had com mandcered all tin in New York warehouses.
 The Navy Departments action was prompted by the intense com petition for tin, which has resulted in forcing up the price within a month from 5i to 80 cents a pound. Tin cannot be bought in open mar kei now, because of British export restrictions, and it is said that firms having government contracts re- quiring the use of tin will be in serious straits unless some action is taken to remedy the situation.

 It will be noted from the above
 figures that electricity, ehlmney' and flues and exposure show the
 highest percentages in the prevent | able or partly preventable fires. Un- doubtedly this class of fires could
 be largely reduced by adequate building laws on construction ano
 installation.
 Stoves. cigars, cigarettes and
 matches are responsible for large
 percentage of fires, as can be seen
 from the figures. These could be l prevented by the exercise Of care.
 Fires caused by hot ashes, rubDish and litter. fireworks, open fires, open Iiohts etc.. could in nearly every instance, be prevented by llttle thought and labor and some small
 expense. II would be the part off wisdom to spend little money for a metal ash container a wire screen to go before the open fire or Tor safe lamp. The cost of these artl- cles is small when compared with the loss of a home and it's contents.
 Cities and towns thruout'the coun- try. as we'll as various industries, are spending vast sums of money for equipment with which to fight fires. Also large sums goI to employ firemen to save property, which. two out of three times, has caught fire by some act of careless ness of because proper precautions have not been taken. This money is well spent and these departments are absolutely necessary. In many instances a fire has gained suclI headway that all the department can do is to keep it from spreading to other property. And even tho it is put out, there is the damage re- sulting from water as well as from he flames.
 How much better it wonld be to spend some of our money hy way of fire prevention than to spend it all 1n apparatus to put out our homes | and manufacturing plants after they | nave caught fire thru earelessness IT neglect. A little more money | ,pent on the roof will make 1t fire proof. A few more brick will suf- lee to build chimneys or flues from he ground up. By looking after it, he electric wiring will be done | A few cents will provide screen for the open fire place or metal can for the hot ashes. Metal 0 go under and back of wood and 'Oal stoves does not cost much. iurely, in such matters, "an ounce f prevention is worth pound Of ure."
 These are small matters, and, to many, may not seem worth while. let they are matters of vast inn 'ortance. By looking after the mall details your house may never urn. If they are not looked after may be that you will be awakened 1
