Dinner ran of uneventfully, II emil
vened by the quenchless animation Of
the Dowager Dragon, but Miss Car
teret, manifesting little appetite, sat
out the meal with downcast eyes, mute
save when courtesy dictated speech.
Later she found herself seated by her
Dragons side on the lee Of the prone
made deck, in darkness save for the
beams from lighted ports. For little
the girl relished all this with gladness.
But presently her spirits sagged again
and she grew drowsy, and fingered
from her bed only to please the
warm-hearted old woman who had
edopted her pro tempore-"oE suspi-
son." - Mrs. Beggarstaf put 1t. not

Billy Bunny and His Friends

Well, after Billy Bunny and good,
kind Uncle Lucky woke up the next
morning. for they had slept all night
in the Luckymobile a. told you IN
the last story. they ate their breakfast
and then they started of and by and
by they had an adventure A gypsy
camp stood close TO the roadside and
just as they came up. an old woman
walked out Of a tent and said Don't
you want your fortunes told? Wen.
as Billy Bunny had. never had his FOR
tune told and Uncle Lucky had forgot
ten whether he had or not, they got out
OF the automobile and sat down on q
log while the old gypsy woman looked
at their paws.
You have a very long life line, MI.
Lucky Lefthindfoot, and lots OF money.
she said with a grin, and you're going
to have lots more"

tlenan rabbit, for want to build q

"And you will grow up to be great
soldier" she said to Billy Bunny, and
then Uncle Lucky gave her two carrot
nickels and said goodby.
Il wonder where all that money is
coming from" said the good. KIND OLD
gentleman rabbit, and then they heard
a deep voice singing:
"oh. am king Of the Builfrog Pond,
Ker-plunk, ker- chunk, kerr PUNK!
And III never stir a foot beyond.

Then Uncle Lucky stopped the aut0-
mobile and he and Billy Bunny got out
to make the acquaintance Of this hap
by frog king. And weren't they surpris-
ed to find that he ives the brother Of
Uncle Bullfrog, who lived in the OLD
Mill Pond. He had heard all about tho
two rabbits and wAs delighted to SEQ
them.
...Sit down on the bank and I'll set
you a watercress sandwich and some
pond lilly milk" cried the Frog King.
and he waved bullrnsh wand up and
down and whistled through his fingers
and then q dozen tadpOles swan up.
And then they SWAN off again ana
when they came back they had water
cress sandwiches and pcnd-lly milk
enough to go around ana some besides
to give to the Lnckymobile. only auto
mobiles don't drink anything but gaso-
lene, so they gave what was left 70 q

And then Uncle Lucky took OH ME-

King and Billy Bunny took a chocolate

WHAT DID NE "sACRiFicE"7

II former 81 a day man now draw
ing $40 q week working on a machine
making shells were to come to you
complaining that he was sacrificing for
mis- country would you believe it when
YOU looked out OF the window and saw
the very pick Of the country marching
away as privates at $50 a month to
dare battle and privation and stand
knee deep in muddy trenches?
Why if that fellow refused to work
at such wages TO keep the fighting men
in the trenches supplied with ammuni-
ton you'd call him a Stacker and de-

guard and made to labor. You'd call
him a coward and a loafer. Now hon

os right at that. The fellow would be-

It's a poor rule that doesn't have
wide application. Don't talk OF sacri-
fee in connection with the purchase OF
a liberty bond. There's just the same
amount of sacrifice in Il that the mu-
milton worker makes when he stays
safe in the factory and draws added
wages because his country is in ener-
sency. And all that is true of a man
who refuses to work loading ammuni-
ton for the men in the trenches is
Just as true OF him who. being able,
refuses to buy bonds which are merely
food and ammunition for the men who
are to fight for us. We ought to see
that. For 1t is true as Scripture. The
man who is to stay at home at good
wages and war profits isn't sacrificing
when he buys gold dollars. dollar for
dollar, and gets interest on the buy.
A gold dollar doesn't pay interest.

they do pay a little interest and VIII

whenever the owner wants to cash

SOWING WITHIN CANNON SHOT.

The graduate this June comes out
from the shelter of the school to face
strange and peculiar conditions. The
world is in an uproar emergency al
TO be wondered at If the graduate shall
be confused and stunned when ne
faces il. He is like recruit hurried
forward from peaceful pursuits TO De
plunged into din and danger and tur-
MOL Of battle.
The colleges are depopula,ed by en-
listments. They are to be further de-
cimated by CONSUMPTION. II is impos-
sible 10 take million young men out
of the country without depopulation oil
the colleges for college men always go
forward when the great call comes
the best OF them. There will De thou
sands Of vacancies in employments OF
one and another kind. Not only the
classes of the higher schools but the
ranks of labor and service everywhere
will De demanding men.
Some of the high school graduates
will enter the armies. some will take
the vacant jobs. Some will go to col
lege.
The youth that goes to the army VIII
simply lay down present prospects TO
avail. his return. He will serve ana
come back TO take UP life where ne
lief, il. And provided that he keeps
his complete manhood while he serves
he will be a sharp competitor when ne
does come back, for little things will
not alright or check him when ne
starts after anything he wants. he
will have gone by little things N MS
dealings with vital things.
But there are thousands who Tor
variety of reasons and causes Will not
and can not go TO war. They need be
extremely careful in their outlook on
the future. II they intended TO take
college course they should not permit
themselves 10 % nci<a--So ~ -
ing present advantage. The colleges
must be kept up. That is process OF
conservation as necessary as other
conservative processes. We shall need
educated men and those with special
knowledge even more than before; and
the individual who is to succeed in the
competition that viii ooH1e after the
war is TO need special training more
than ever If he is TO succeed.
The high school graduate OF 1917
needs to hold his poise. He must look
on beyond the present and TO the end
of the war. Over in France the peas
ants are farming within sound Of the
cannon and even within range Of the
great guns. Perhaps the push Of battle
may send armies to trample out their
seedlings and destroy their plans but
they are doing their best. That is
what the 1917 graduate must do. He
must keep on in the sound OF the can
non doing his best making his plans.
Ii emergency later calls him TO change
or abolish his prospects that is on the
knees Of the gods: for today he must
cow and plant and hope for harvest.
