half ago, quietly and deliberately at first, but as he neared the end of the speech even the immortal Patrick need not have been ashamed of the humble old orator. who, as he pro- gressed, became more impressive:
 The war Is inevitable-and let it come I repeat 1t. sir, let 1t come 1t Is vain. sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry 'Peacer 'Peacer but there is no peace. The war Is actually begun. The gale that sweeps from the North will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms. Our brethren are already in the fieldl Why stand we here idle? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet as to be pur- chased at the price of chains and sIav- cry? Forbid 1t Almighty God 1 know not what course others may take, but as for me; give me liberty. or give me death !"
 Patrick Henrys life was fuli to the brlm. As governor of state that ex- tended as far west as Illinois, as one of the most eminent jurists in Virginia, his time was well taken, and he was glad enough to retire early to Red Hill.
 During the last years of his life Pat rick Henry's fame drew many visitors to Red Hill and he welcomed all with gracious hospitality. In 1794, Gov. Henry Lee appointed him United States senator to fill an unexpired term. This he declined as he did also many other fiattering offers.
 One June morning in 1799, Patrick Henry realized that his end was near, and drawing his silk cap over his eyes he prayed earnestly for his family, for his country and his soul, then his great spirit departed even as he sat in the three-cornered chair.

Varied Uses of the Lemon.

Baked lemons for colds and fiaxseed lemonade as used by New England grand mothers are we'll known. Many a diva threatened with hoarseness beats up the white of an egg with the juice of a lemon, with sugar or honey, for a quick and sure remedy And for head ache a famous writer often takes the juice of one whole lemon squeezed in cup of strong black coffee.
 California and Florida both produce wonderful lemons, which in size and quality compare with airy imported from the tropics. The sweet lemons of Spain, which are eaten as freely as oranges in the southern part of Spain, and in Morocco. where they also four ish, are delicious, indeed. In Italy, southern France and Sicily the lemons attain an unusual size.

 "Aw, chuck iti"
 "'It's a fact. got here not two minutes after you left. The girl was stin there. It was someope else. Sid ney was not out of the hospital last night She attended a lecture, and then an operation"
 Joe listened. It was undoubtedly relief to him to know that 1t had not been Sidney; but if K. expected any remorse, he did not get it.
 'If he is that sort, he deserves what he got" said the boy grimly.
 And K. had no reply. But Joe was glad to talk. K. got it by degrees-his mad flight into the darkness, until his gasoline gave out; his resolve to walk back and surrender himself at Schwit- ter's, so that there could be no mis- take as to who had committed the crime.

RECOGNIZED END WAS NEAR
old Man Ready to Give Up When He Could Not Bite What He Thought
 Was "PIug." M

One day last month when trade was dull, grocery clerk procured piece of sole leather from a shoemaker, painted it black and laid it aside for future use. Within few days an old chap from back in the country came in and inquired for plug of chewing tobacco. The piece of sole leather was tied up, paid for and the purchaser started for home. At the end of the sixth day he returned, looking down cast and dejected, and walking into tho store he inquired of the clerk: Mem. Der that terbacker I got here the other dayY" "Yes." "Well was that new brand?. 'No, same old brand" Reg ular plug terbacker, was it?" "Yes." "Well, then, it's me; it's right here in my jaws" sadly replied the man. T knowed I was gittin' purity old. but was allus handy in bitin' plug. never seed plug afore this one that couldn't tear toepieces with one chaw sot my teeth on this one, and bit and pulled and twisted like dog at q root, and I've kept biting and pulling for six days, and thar she am now, the same as the day you sold her to me r Seems to be good plug" remarked the clerk as he smelled of the counterfeit. "She's all right it's me that's failing !" exclaimed the old man. Pass me out some fine-cut and I'll go home and deed the farm to the boys, and git ready for the e."-From an aged Bostonian's scrap book.

time 1 was uitting waiting, I kept thinking it was you who were operat- ing Will he really get well?'
 Tt looks promising"
 q should like to thank Doctor Ed wardes."
 The nurse was long time getting the ammonia. But something had hap pened to K. that savored of the mar vicious. His faith in himself was com ing back-not strongly, with a rush, but with all humility. He had been loath to take up the burden but, now that he had it, he breathed sort of inarticulate prayer to be able to carry it.
 Sidney held out her hand to him.
 ''What should do without you, K. p she asked wistfully.
 "All you have to do is to want me-"
 His voice was not too steady, and he took her pulse in most business like way to distract her attention from it. But, as he rose from the chair be- side her low bed, she put out her hand to him.
 ssK."
 "Yes, dear"
 "He was out with CarIotta. He promised, and he broke his promise"
 "There may have been reasons. Sup pose we wait until he can explain"
 'How can he explain?" And, when he hesitated: T bring all my troubles to you, as if you had none. Somehow, can't go to Aunt Harriet, and of course mother-Carlotta cares a great deal for him. She said that I shot him. Does anyone really think that?'
 Of course not. Please stop think ing"
 She stirred restlessly.
 "What time is it?"
 "Half-past six"
 ''I must get up and go on duty"
 He was glad to be stern with her. He forbade her rising. When the nurse came in with the belated ammo nia, she found K. making an arbitrary ruling, and Sidney looking up at him mutinously.
 Miss Page is not to go on duty to- day. She is to stay In bed until fur ther orders.''
 "Very well, Doctor Edwardes."
 The confusion in Sidneys mind cleared away suddenly. K. was Doc tor Edwardesi It was K. who had per formed the miracle operation-K. who had dared and perhaps won! Dear K, with his steady eyes and his long surgeons fingers! Then, because she seemed to see ahead as well as back into the past in that flash that comes to the drowning and to those recover ing from shock, and because she knew that now the little house would no longer be home to K., she turned her face into her pillow and cried. Her world had fallen indeed. Her lover was not true, and might be dying; her friend would go away to his own world, which was not the Street.
 K. left her at last and went back to seventeen, where Doctor Ed still sat by the bed. Inaction was telling on him. If Max would only open his eyes, so he could tell him what had been in his mind all these years-his pride in him. and all that.
 With sort of belated desire to make up for where he had failed, he
The Pulaskian., 1917-08-10

put the bag that had been Max's bete noire on the bedside table, and began to clear it of rubbish-odd bits of dirty cotton, the tubing from long defunct stethoscope, glass from bro- ken bottle, scrap of paper on which was a memorandum, in his illegible writing, to send Max a check for his graduating suit. When K. came in. he had the old dog collar in his hand.
 Belonged to an old collie of ours" he said heavily. 'Milkman ran over him and killed him. Max chased the wagon and licked the driver with his own whip."
 Ills face worked.

"I Thought You Were the Police" the barkeeper got my gun out of my pocket. And"
 After pause: Docs she know who did it?''
 "Sidney? No"
 "Then, if he gets better, she'll marry him anyhow"
 Possibly. That's not up to us, Joe. The thing we've got to do is to hush this thing up, and get you away"
 s'rd go to Cuba, but I haven't the money"
 K. rose. T think I can get It."
 He turned in the doorway.
 Sidney need never know who did it."
 "Pm not ashamed of it." But his face showed relief.
 There are times when some cata- clysm tears down the walls of reserve between men. That time had come for Joe, and to lesser extent for K. The boy rose and followed him to the door.
 "Why don't you tell her the whole thing 1.-the whole filthy story?" he asked. "She'd never look at him again. You're crazy about her. I haven't got a chance. It would give you one."
 "I want her, God knowsl' said K. But not that way, boy"
  
 The five thousand dollar check from Mir. Lorenz had saved Palmer Howe's credit. On the strength of the de- posit he borrowed money at the bank with which he meant to pay his bills, arrears at the University and Country clubs, hundred dollars lost throwing aces with poker dice, and various small obligations of Christine's.
 The immediate result of the money was good. He drank nothing for a week, went into the details of the new venture with Christine's father, sat at home with Christine on her balcony in the evenings. With the knowledge that he could pay his debts, he postponed the day. He liked the feeling of a bank account in four figures.
 Christine had been making a fight, although her heart was only half in It. She was resolutely good-humored, ignored the past, dressed for Palmer In the things he liked. They still took their dinners at the Lorenz house up the street. When she saw that the haphazard table service there irritated him, she coaxed her mother into get ting a butler.
 The Street shifted at the butler be- hind his stately back. Secretly and in its heart, it was proud of him. With a half-dozen automobiles, and Chris tine Howe putting on low neck in the evenings, and now a butler, not to mention Harriet Kennedy's Mimi, 1t ceased to pride itself on it's common placeness, ignorant of the fact that in its very lack of affectation had lain its charm.
 On the night that Joe shot Max VII. son, Palmer was noticeably restless. He had seen Grace Irving that day for the first time, but once, since the motor accident. The girl had strange fas- cination for him. The sight of her walking sedately along in her shop girls black dress had been enough to set his pulses racing. When he saw that she meant to pass him, he fell into step beside her.
 T believe you were going to cut mel Still in the store?"
 "Yes." And. after a seconds hesi. tation: I'm keeping straight, too"
