LOVES CODE BY SEARCHLIGHT
Ferryboat Captain Nightly Signals
Little Deaf and Dumb
Daughter.

Searchlight flashes, mysterious and
battling, seen nightly for several weeks
off the Richmond and Berkeley water
fronts. which have puzzled East Bay
residents and even made them uneasy,
are now explained. They indicate no
fell plot; they reveal no piratical ac-
tivities. They are simply 'Iove code"
between a lonesome daddy and his
lonesome little girl. the San Francisco
Chronicle states.
The daddy is Capt. H. F. Dunningan
of the Santa Fe ferryboat San Pedro,
and the girl is his twelve-year-olu
daughter Florence, q patient in the
State Institute for the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind at Berkeley. Happily she re-
she sits, her nose tlattened against the
pane of her window, waiting for the
messages that come to her across miles
of land and wafer.
There appears u finger of light.
painting half-circle against the
clouds; daddy is saying: Hello"
Three short flashes, Love from dad
dy." Then, as the San Pedro swings
out of range, the light sweeps the sky :;
that means "Good-night, with love and
kisses"
But the most welcome of all the sig
nails is the stream of light held stead
lily against the window, through which
peers the little face. That indicates
that daddy is coming on his weekly
visit, and then little Florence is in the
height of bliss.

cotton goods, including cotton crepe,
gabardine, basket weaves and novel
ties, besides cotton and mohair mix
lures. Cretonne is available also in
this class. Then there are the unusual
woolens and silks, and several special
weaves in silk for sports skirts. But
the particularly interesting separate
skirt just at this time is that one
which the home dressmaker under
takes to make for herself in anticipa-
ton Of her spring and summer time
needs.
The several cotton fabrics are shown
in very attractive models, demonstrate

Graves of European Soldiers.

In the first months of the war a man
was commonly buried close to the
place where he fell. Wherever there
has been hard fighting there are many
low crosses sticking out of the ground
in the fields, in cottage gardens, in
corners of farmyards and orchards,
even on roadside strips Of grass.
Where the ground has changed hands
good deal you may see, quite close,
the gabled cross of the Germans, with
'Hier ruht in Colt" (Here rests in
God), and the beaded wire wreath Of
the French with Mort pour la France"
Oiled for France), and the plain lined
cross Of the English 'in loving memory"
of one or more officers and men.

CHAPTER XVI.
Capitulation.

Grimly Whitaker sat himself down
in the kitchen and prepared to wait
the temperance of his wife-pre-
pared to wait as long as life was in
him, so that he were there to welcome
her when, her paroxysm over, she
would come to him to be comforted,
soothed and reasoned out of her dis
torted conception of her destiny.
He pondered the situation for hours
then he rose, assembled the stairs,
tapped gently on the locked door.
MARY" he called, with his heart
in his mouth-"Mary
Her answer was instant. in accents
sweet. calm and clear.

golden web of minutes. They did not
move. Round them the silence sang
like the choiring seraphim.

AS rat catchers in the trenches no
animal, not even the ferret, can COM
pete with the terriers and spaniels that
have been taken to the front in large
numbers by the French. Some months
ago an army order announced that each
soldier fetching rat-catching dog to
the trenches would be entitled to two
extra days leave on his next permits
sion, and since then nearly every man
going back to the front has taken a
dog Of some description with him. Be-
sides the two days leave the owner Of

Pansu Is Master of Spirits.
Thrift and Parsimony.

Many people mistake thrift for par
simony, but they are as far apart as
the poles. No one admires miser; no
one should initiate him. Food, raiment
and shelter are the first necessities of
civilization. When they are sufficient,
then all other things will come to the
normal man or woman. Their minds
will find proper food for thought and
both their minds and bodies will find
relaxation in proper and healthful
amusement. But the pleasures that
are most satisfying are those that
come from successful work. All 9TH
ers are transitory and fleeing. And If
a mans soul, or a woman's either, will
not grow and develop on the farm, it
will shrivel and sink anywhere else
and be forever lost.-Myron Fl. Bent,
b Syracuse Post-Standard.
