Lilies of Peace

OF beautiful Easter lilies that
open your hearts today
In the dusk of the proud cathe-
dral, or the village chapel
gray.
I look at your creamy petals and
your buds of pearl and
snow.
And think of the sitting trenches
DER the wide Atlantic's
flow.
Where the soldiers wounded and
weary. unshaven and I'M
shorn.
Crouched like beasts In their bur-
rows. wake to the Easter
morn,
And their only Easter anthem is
the rumbling cannon
wheel.
And In place of the Easter lilies
are rows of cruel steel.
I think OF the ruined affairs with
broken debris strewn,
The roofiess walls that totter
a-gape to the sun and
moon,
The bells in the battered towers
that hang so sad and still,
The silent pipes of the organs.
the darkness and the chill.
The empty aisles and the silence
where once the music
poured.
In a silver flood of gladness to
greet the risen Lord.
And kneeling among the lilies
fragrant and pure and fair,
The white and wondrous lilies. I
breathe an Easter prayer.
lord OF the Easter morning. In
thy compassion great,
Bind up the bleeding nations and
cleanse their souls of hate.
To Europe's war-worn people
their ravaged homes re-
store.
And bid the fields of battle grow
bright with flowers once
more;
And let these Easter lilies that
glorlously unfold
Beneath the painted window OF
saints in blue and gold,
From snow-capped Fujiyama to
purple isles OF Greece,
Bear through the world n mes
sage OF everlasting peace"
--Minna Irving in Leslie's.

CLIPPING HORSES IN SPRING
Heavy Coat Of Hair Causes Much
Sweating, Which Is Enervatlng
to Work Animals.

A good many horses come through
the winter season with heavy, rough
coats that are not shed when spring
work begins; the result is they are un.
comfortable when at heavy work. A
heavy coat of hair causes much sweat
ing, which Is enervating to the horse
and consequently produces an unnec-
essary drain upon his strength and
vitality. Nor is this all. A horse that
sweats freely during the changing
weather Of spring is very apt to take
cold. Rough, shaggy coats should be
clipped in the spring before heavy
work begins.
There are excellent clippers on the
market for this purpose, and they can
be bought ut very reasonable prices.
A good clipper will pay for itself in u
single season on almost any farm, and
sometimes 1t will do much more than.
that. If team is laid up with bad
cold for a few days when work is,
pressing the loss of work may become
very expensive. This should be avoid
ed by the use Of clipper and Incl
dentally also make the horse more
comfortable.

USE or BACTERIAL VACCINE
Vaccination as Preventive for Strangles
and Distemper Being Extensively
Employed.

The vaccination of horses as pre-
ventive for strangles or distemper is
being extensively employed. 1t has
been found that the cause of the dis
ease warrants the use of a bacterial
vaccine. This gives assistance to ma
lures own efforts of protection and
forms the logical means of preventing
strangles as well as other diseases
caused by specific organisms.
The outcome of the vaccination of
horses has In some instances been dis
appointing. 1t Is possible that in such
cases the bacteria has deteriorated or
become ineffective, or that the results
are complicated by secondary infec-
tons In the latter case 1t Is advisable
to use bacterins that will combat the
secondary infections. These are called
mixed bacterins, and contain a vari-.
ETY. of killed bacteria commonly en-
countered In such diseases.
In case distemper appears, all
healthy animals should be Immediately
injected with streptobacterins. The
administration of bacterial vaccines
should be made by competent veter-
marian, as improper administration
may not provide proper protection and
so result in Irregularities. Bacterins
can be obtained from manufacturers
of various biological products.

Nearing Hollis Siding there was a stop
for hot box. Helen was one of the
first to descend for investigation.
When the long work train again pulled
out those who noticed that Helen Daw-
son was not on the flats" believed that
she was In the caboose where the rid
ing would be somewhat easier.
It was Joe Dawson who discovered
that Helen was not on the train, and
the discovery was not made until near
ly twenty miles had been traversed.
Then one of the men on the rear fiat
car told OF having seen Spike" Daw-
son and Behrens In conversation,
crouched In the end of gondola. The
scattering OF angry men that ensued
was immediate. Dawson cut across to
the main line where 1t was feared
Behrens and his crowd might attempt
to board another freight. But nothing
practical was done because nobody
knew OF anything practical to do.
Tom Dawson, his face white and set,
1890 repeater over his arm left
the train with bound when it had
been backed to the spot where the pre-
vious stop had been made. Like a
hound he picked up the trail and uner-
ringly he followed 1t mile after mile
across the rough country. Sometimes
only broken bramble guided him.
Washing her hands in the caboose
after tinkering with the greasy hot
box, Helen Holmes was not prepared
for the startling events that occurred
in quick succession. Humming tune
as she reached for the roller towel,
the young girl heard a step and turned
to welcome one Of her friends, only TO
gaze into the evil visage of "Blll'
Behrens.
Before she could make an outcry

called the tragic death of old Sleepy
Dog, the Klamath Indian chief, slain
by Holmes In fit of rage, and he
knew that every acre of Holmes lum-
Der holdings really belonged to the
heirs of Sleepy Dog.
Now he realized that Helen Dawson,
the fighting LASS of the Lumber
lands" was not only Holmes legitimate
daughter, but real heir to property
held in his name, which property, II
the truth ever came out, would revert
to Little Bear, the son of old Sleepy
Dog.
A broad grin broke out on the wind
tanned visage Of Bill Behrens. For
once in his life, at least, he had an
idea. He would marry Helen himself.
There would be nice little abduc-
ton, n day or two of confinement In
the Deerlng cabin out on China Flats
perhaps little threatening might be
necessary. That drunken old ex-preach-
err on the edge of the clearing would
tie the knot.
As the idea took form Behrens broke
into laugh. Here was his chance
his long sought chance to even mat
tiers with dollar" Holmes-the hard
est taskmaster In the world. Behrens
would marry his daughter, claim her
rights under the law, compel Holmes
to recognize him as q social and finan-
cial equal. 1t was fascinating Idea.
When Holmes started for Capitol
City with stephen In the big automo-
bile that had just been purchased for
Florence Holmes, the lumberman's
fashionable wife, Behrens already had
his plans fairly well In hand. An hour
later he was in conference with
Spike" Deering, head of the most
disreputable band of rufilans that ever
disgraced countryside.

train started for the now nearly COM

fifty or more new hands from Capitol

Thirteenth EPISODE

Rupert Holmes, millionaire lumber
man, was startled out Of his usual
imperturbability His face evidenced
the emotions that stirred him. Here,
indeed was crisis. For years and
years he had planned and plotted to
defeat the aims of the independent
lumbermen, which II realized would
ruin him, and In every instance he had
been thwarted by the quick wit OF
mere slip Of girl--Helen Dawson.
Half an hour earlier, Holmes had
bitterly reproached Helen's half broth
er, Stephen, with having paid $37 900
to Dawson, the Valley Railway extern
sion contractor, In defiance of orders to
the contrary. The young fellow had
replied in bitter anger that the debt
was a Just one and that he had paid
It for that reason.
Another thing" announced Stephen,
defiantiy, "some day am going to ask
Helen Dawson to marry me-"
It was this announcement that had
caused dollar" Holmes to turn white
to the lips.
The thing most to be dreaded by him
had come to pass. stephen, the apple
of his eye, in love with the one girl
in all the world with whom marriage
was impossible. There was only one
thing to do. Stephen must be got out
of the country on one plea or another
and during his absence the girl must
be disposed of. 1t was time for ac-
tion--immediate action ut that.
With n determined gesture, Holmes
pressed the electric button at his side.
The pale-faced secretary, whose weight
of criminal knowledge seemed to have
sagged his thin shoulders into mel
ancholy curve, merely nodded when
Holmes demanded the immediate pres
ence of Behrens.

ron, as Behrens entered, hat In hand.
"That Dawson girls got to be put out

grinned Behrens. II told you she was

II know all about that" interposed
Holmes with wave of his hand
"What we've got to do now Is to
get her out OF this. 1t isn't what
she has done in business way, you
understand. The reason is that Steph'
en- wants 20 marry her"
Behrens' little, sharp eyes mar
rowed to pinpoints. He emitted q
iong-drawn whistle, as indicative OF
his understanding that here, indeed
was dilemma that would require al
Holmes ingenuity and determination
for Its solution.
'Why, Helen's his half sister. She's
the legitimate heir to all your money

Far above the high-backed pew the
minister's voice intones the Easter
text.
Stretch as she may her fat little
chubby neck, baby Anne cannot see
the minister; so she gives herself over
to thoughts of glories Of her new Eas-
ter toilette; round, pink-faced maid
en- she is, sitting straight and proper
as becomes her years; she counts ex-
actly five; in new little gown, low Of
neck and short of sleeves, and very
round, short, little skirt; a monstrous
scoop bonnet, tied with fat pink little
bows under her fat, pink little chin.
Admitting contemplation Of her two
white-stockinged legs, projecting from
beneath stifly starched pantalettes, is
intermingled with pleased anticipations
of soon beholding the fat pink, also
green, blue and red eggs, awaiting her
at home after the Easter service.
The minister's voice soothes like lap
ping waves; Of sudden the proPrie-
ties of 1916 are forgotten; little Anne's
golden head falls against her grand
mothers shawled arms, and she
sleeps!
