soldiers who had enlisted for shorter

In this war our people are really
united. They are ready to do their
duty. The ten millions and more who
qualified for service on Tuesday are
already az the governments disposal.
The minute percentage of real slack
ers will be rounded up. Public opinion
is practically unanimous in demand

more eligibles in sight when the pres

The public has been a little over
fearful about the draft experiment.
The latter has proved a phenomenal
success. And it has been so successful
because it meets exactly the needs and
temper of the hour. The country is
unreservedly for it as the only prac-

Ronald Thorpe, his gun over his

Lost, indeed, he was, and had been
for the last two hours. He had come
to Elburne the evening previous on a

the city newspaper on which he was
an editor. He had heard great things
Of the small game in the vicinity. He
had started out first thing that morn
ing to test the truth of the sporting op-
portunities Of the district.
There had been signs Of game pleas
ants and quail. He had stirred up a
covey, but the birds were speedily too
distant for even experiment. Ronald
noted their course of flight. He start

eagerly pursued, struck mucky soil, re
gained solid patch of land, then q
swampy waste, and here he was, all al
sea as to the direction of the village
and well done out.
Ronald fancied he noted a clayey
bank, with open water beyond, little
ahead. He made an effort to reach 4

halted sharply.

affrighted eyes greeted his vision.
Their owner awarded startled glance
at the badge on the lapel of the vest
that Ronald wore and vanished among
the long reeds, splashing a swift course
through the water. The badge was one
that came into requisition In the city
when Ronald did special reportorial
duty.

Thus far Ronald got in his challenge,
starting precipitately after the refu-
gee, when vivid cry rang out. 1t

II was distinctly feminine. Ronald
turned, ever chivalric, and traced Its
source. He breasted the tall willow
sprouts, to stare in amazement. Lying
where her slim, graceful form meshed
the willows beneath her, was a young
girl Of about eighteen. Her dress was
in tatters, her hair tangled and I'M

her ragged dress where they covered
her knee, and her face was picture Of
the keenest pain and distress.

Ropald, and he lifted the frail, light

that 1t was a signal.

Air Tools Effect Saving.

Six dollars instead Of twenty-four
dollars per thousand brick is the diff
ference In cost which has been effect
ed by city street commissioner In
New York state in tearing up an old
brick pavement and cleaning the
bricks by air tools, rather than by the
old pick-and-shovel method, according
to the Engineering Record. By the new
method old pavements can be torn up
at the rate of four square feet in If
teen minutes, taking out one brick at a
time or prying up several at once, as
desired. Breakage is stated to be
much less than when the work is done
by hand. Previous to the development
Of this method it took ten men to tear
up and clean 1000 brick per day at a
cost Of twenty-four dollars. In the
new system the cost is reduced to one
quarter Of that.-New York Journal Of
Commerce.

House of Mystery to apprehend the girl
