hearty He set plate of bread and
bacon in her lap, then opened a glass
jar of jam.
The woman ate and drank slowly.
She was too tired to be hungry, and
meanwhile the young man sQdatted
upon his heels and watched her
through the smoke from a husk ciga-
rette.
"Have you had your support" she
finally inquired.
''Who. me? oh, TIL eat with the
help" He smiled, and when his flash
ing teeth showed white against his
leathery tan the woman decided he
was not at all bad-looking. He was
very tall and quite lean, with the long
legs of horseman-this latter feature
accentuated by his high-heeled boots
that reached only to his cartridge belt.
His features she could not well make
out, for the fire was little more than
bed of Goals, and he fed it, Indian
like, with twig or two at time.

She extended her cup and plate as an
invitation for him to share their con-
tents. please eat with me-"
But he refused. 81 amt hungry" he
affirmed. 'Honest!"
Accustomed as she was to the diff
fidence of ranch hands, she refrained
from urging him, and proceeded with
hes repast. When she had finished she
lay back and watched him as he ate
sparingly.

Shortly after this the old lady died

Forty thousand dollars was left,

nieces, and the house to a charity.
Bertha took home the antique cam
dlestick believing the aunt, whom she
still thought had really loved her, had
had some motive she had felt to be

money. But indignation was rife
among her friends, and one of them

Bertha, the one who most needed it.

Then Adele let drop a few words that

The old jokes are often better than
the new. Years ago a Cincinnati mer-
chant used to have Il sure-thing joke
thai he worked on his friends with
great success. He would meet Il man
and start criticizing the mans personal
appearance, and would wait until the
man got good and hot under the collar.
Then the merchant would rub it in by
offering to bet that the other man
didn't have whole shirt on his back.
The bet was always eagerly and indig-
nantly taken, and the merchant, the
victim and the Stockholders would re-
tire to q ROOM There the victim would
take OFF his coat and vest and display
his shirt. The result was always the
same. The Stockholders had to admit
that the victim did not have a whole
shirt on his back. Half of the shirt
vas on his back, and the other half
on his chest.

THURSDAY, MAY 81 1917

Jules Cambon, General Secretary OF
the French Ministry of Foresgn Al
fairs, seems to take cheerful view OF
the Russian situation in the light OF
the recent assurances Of the Russian
Foreign Minister.
The simple truth, as it appears at
this distance, is that the Allies, while
hoping of Russia something much
better than the worst should really
discount the worst. 1t Is not reason
able 10 expect much assistance from
Russia during the rest Of the war, even
if that Power does not arrange a sep.
arate peace. Germany is making a
desperate effort 10 take Russia from
among her active enemies, and Ger.
many's intrigue to that end is as evi.
dent now as it was in the reign of the
Car. Notably significant fruits of this
intrigue are seen in the suddenly ex-
pressed and persistently reiterated
avowals in Russia for peace without
annexations or indemnities. Even the
official assurances of the new Govern
ment with which Mr. Cambon profess
es so much satisfaction are qualified by
repetitions Of these ayowals. Mean
while SO palpably Of German inspira-
ton is the proposed Socialist peace
conference at Observation-Disclosures in
Russia-that our own Government is
taking steps to prevent the participa
ton in it by American delegates.
1t is the opinion Of many leading
newspapers that Russia is out oft.
And whether or not the Allies share
that opinion it would be the part OF
wisdom TO prepare with the conduct Of
the war on the assumption that she
may be out Of it.
