You see, it is no different with

Tim. Men hate to grow old just as
badly as you do. In fact, l some
times think Annie is perfectly con-
tent to be the mother of her children
and to grow old as they grow up.
Now, there is that little diVil Of
a Margaret Ann - why, she's got
more notions in her head from going
over to that school with Mrs. Sy-
mOne's children. I think it is all
wrong myself. Why, do you know,
I think she is going to be ashamed of
her father? The other day she told
me I must get up out Of my easy
chair and stand when her mother
came into the room.

to see that little girl of ours. Why,
Miss Margie, Mrs. Symone's little girl
for all her wealth and advantages
can't hold a candle to Margaret Ann.
She's got all her mothers good
sense, too, and her sense Of humoT

last spring, wasn't it,"
well, I suppose he had a good
reason for not doing it, l said. Tim
looked at me rather queeTly and l
wondered how much he really knew
about the twins.
Say, Tim, will you ask Annie to
come over here some day next week
and bring the children?"
Sure I will, and l think she will
come. She has been talking about
you for a long time, but you won't
tell her about the Murphy girl, will
your"
"Of course, I won't, but it is not
your sake, but for Armies that l am
keeping it, I said with a smile, for

We'll, you know she is bit of a
terror when she gets going and l
didn't do her nor any one else a bit
of harm"
Perhaps it was because l came up
behind you just in time, Tim"
Tins Irish eyes sobered and he
said, Perhaps it was. If we could
only see the little sins that are not
committed because some one or
something interrupts at the right
moment l am afraid we would find
more of us are saints from lack of
opportunity than because of strictly
moral purposes"

me, where he had to leave me hur-
riedly to make his train.

to break the power Of the allies by the

German statesman has declared that
everything is being staked on this proco-
dure, though hazardous to Germany's re-

the British themselves declare, it is Ger

Much drab and dour weather, biting

West Front Activity.

Almost as though in answer to the
German submarine campaign Of ruth
less naval warfare the British troops
on the western front have for several
days been smashing at the Teuton lines
in a manner to indicate disposition
to force the fighting early. Several as
saults have been launched, all of which,
according to London reports, have Melted
territorial gains and yielded consider
able captures Of prisoners. The latest
British attack is particularly interest
ing, as it suggests that it is the intention
Of the allies to continue their offensive
operations in the west at about the
same point as that chosen for the as-
sault of last July, the region of the
Somme and Ancre rivers. This move
ment resulted in the British occupation
Of the hill at Sailly-Saillisel which viz
tually dominates the wood of st. Pierre
Vast. Against this hill the British had
moved several times without success,
but yesterdays advance gave them pos
session of it, and from it they may domi-
nate the German position in the wood,
which has been made very strong and
which may be the scene Of tremendous
struggle when the allies undertake its
capture.
Naturally the land movements of the
allies cannot have bearing upon the
submarine warfare directly, but it is
significant that this resumption of west
front fighting in mid winter has coin.
cidcd so closely with the enlarged sea
operations of the Germans. 1t has been
frankly stated in Berlin that the policy
OF ruthless naval campaigning is the eul-
m:aatirg effort OF the central powers
