wrapped herself up and descended to
the street by his side.
For an hour or more John drove
steadily westward, scarcely speaking
more than Il chance word. 1t was twi-
light when he brought the car to a
Standstill. Louise raised her veil and
looked up.
"Well?" she asked inquirngy.
He pushed back the throttle on

Her fingers played nervousy for

drew it higher up.
"Well, when l left your house the
first time this afternoon, | went
straight back to the prince. l pointed
out TO him that after what had been

"Was that all that passed between

"Not quite" John replied. "He
asked me what concern it was of mine,
and | told him l hoped that some day
you would be my wife"
She sat quite still, looking down
upon the flaring lights. She was filled
with restless desire to escape, to

other tale has 1t that the men at Fort

Many letters have been written to

Care in use Of Candle.

Utmost caution must be used In OBJ
servance of the Christmas eve cere-
mony of placing q lighted candle be-

bers of the various membership drive
committees hope to see in every
home. !.
In a telegram received by John
Leslie, chairman of the division mem
'bership drive committee, George 8.
Fowler. national chairman for the
membership drive, urged that all pre-
cautions be taken to prevent fire dan
ger.
Members Of the National Under
writer's association. he declared, had
called attention to the fact that the
ceremony might lead to additional fire
hazard. Where lighted candles or
lamps r placed behind the candles,
Mr.. Fowler urges that curtains be re-
MOVED. A better plan. he declares. is
to place an electric light bulb behind
the service flag or to raise the shades
and allow the light Of the room to
illuminate the flag. If the6eaprecau-
tons are taken there Gamble little
danger of fire. -.
