Williams period of peculiar sensi- tiyeness dated from that evening, and Jane in particular caused him q great deal of anxiety. In fact, he began to feel that Jane was modification which his parents might have spared him. with no loss to themselves or to the world.
 For one thing, her passion for bread and butter covered with apple sauce and powdered sugar, was getting to be serious matter. Secretly William was not yet so changed by love as to be wholly indifferent to this reflection himself. but his consumption of 1t was private. whereas Jane had formed the habit of eating 1t ill exposed places, such as the front yard or the sidewalk.
 Mrs. Baxter was pleasantly engaged with a sprinkllng can and some small tlowerbeds, and Jane, having return ed from various sidewalk excursions, stood close by, her hands replenished yirh the fayurite food and her chin rising and falling in gentle motions. Upon this calm scene came William, plungiug round corner of the house. furious yet plaintivc.
 "You've got to do something about that child." he began. "l cannot stand it.
 Jane looked at him dumbly. not ceas- ing. however, to cut, while Mrs. Bax- tes thoughtfulIy continued her sprin- kling.
 "You've been gone all morning, Wll- lie" she said "I thought your father mentioned at breakfast that he expect ed you to put ill at least two hours day on your mathematics and

That was pleasant wasn't ito be walking with lady on the public street and meet mem Der of any family looking like thatH | Oh. lovely"
 In the anguish of this recollection his voice cracked. and. though his eyes were dry, his gestures wept for him. Plainly he was about to reach the most lamentablr portion of his narrative. And then she hOllCred at me! She hollCred. oh, WiN-CC"" Here he gave an imitation of Jane's voice, so damna- tory that JaLe ceased to eat for seV- eral moments and drew herself up with a kind of dignity. "She hollered, 'Oh'

Col. Roosevelt declared that what

added;
Fight to Finish
"The duty incumbent on both of
our nations is to fight until we win
the peace of overwhelming victory
Our common purpose is to break the
offensive strength of the Prussianized
Germany of the HOhenZOllerns, so as
to restore France what Germany took
from her, SO as to free every people
now tyrannized over by Germany or
by her vassal allies, Austria, Turkey

when the world is safe for orderly
freedom, for all the free peoples great

governments Of their choice, then, and
not until then, our purpose in this
war will have been achieved"
