Then she returned to Mrs. Chaplin
and, sitting by her bed, tried to
soothe her by allowing her to talk
of what was on her mind.

John Butler with the circumstances
of her husbands death. You see,"
the matron went on, "he never used
to bother much about a pistol. He
always kept one, but / never saw

CHAPTER LII.

CHAPTER LII.
There is form of excitement that,
in some natures, shows itself in an
unnatural calm.
Such was the excitement that
Elizabeth Wade felt at this juno
ture. Breeding and training had
taught her a self-possession that
would have done credit to a ma
tured woman of the world. Her
histrionic talent also stood her in
good stead now. She told herself
that she had a part to play and
must play it well.
Had she doubted her lovers in
nocence she would have found it
harder to maintain an equable eN-
|, terror. AS it was, she stayed her
soul upon the certainty of his guilt
lessness and the knowledge of his
love for her.
So she was able to talk sooth-
ingly to Martha Chaplin as she un-
dressed her and helped her into bed.
The matron, appolled and horri-
fed at what had happened, was not
the heart-broken being she would
have been had she loved her hus-
band better and feared him less.
After she had cried for awhile her
thoughts turned longingly to her
boy.
IF I could only see Clifford"
she moaned at the end of an hours
talk.
II will telegraph for him at once"
Elizabeth told her. 1T was stupid
of me not to think of this sooner"
Going softly downstairs, she
started towards the rear hall where

her step Butler came out from the
dining room. Through the open
door she could see that Mr.. Miller
was still there.
What can 1 do for you, dear?"
Butler queried in a low voice.
She explained that she wished him
to send telegram to Clifford

You can telephone it to the

queried, taking out a pencil and |

THE CALL FOR OUR SONS
The international Sunday School Lesson For Octo-
Der 20 Is abraham Giving Isaac to
God"-Genesis 221-14
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Secretary Daniels tells of a recent
visit to the Naval Hospital in Brook
lyn, where he saw a returned ma
rine, with one leg shot off. A rela-
tive had said to the lad, after hear
Ing his enthusiastic account of the
battle. But it's too bad you lost your
leg"
II did not lose my leg" responded
the marine, II gave it,"
That is the spirit which makes
great So ints and great soldiers. 1t
is the spirit which has wrought mir
acles in our lands at war. Surren-
der and sacrifice are the two wings
by which our people have risen to
new attitudes of life. We have en-
tered upon the heights of possibili-
ties of the human soul, because We
have learned to give up all the
things we priced most, even includ-
ing our sons.
This is the mood that makes the
present Lesson of Abraham's gift of
his son Isaac on the altar of sacrifice
an appropriate and timely one. 1t is
the same mood that sends our SOL
diers thronging to the sacrament of
communion in camp and at the
from an embarkment camp who ask
ed Il Y. NJ. C. A. man, shortly be-
fore midnight, if they could have a
communion service that night. A
chaplain was awakened, rejoicing at
the opportunity, and he prepared the
"" hut for the sacrament. By the
time it was ready, there were hun
dreds of soldiers quietly gathered to
partake of the memorials of the Su-
preme Sacrifice, and the service was
impressive beyond words. By three
o'clock that morning the boys were
aboard ship, bound for France.
When the Son Left Camp
In the same address wherein he
related the incident of the soldier in
the Brooklyn hospital, Secretary
Daniels told another story, which
dealt with what he termed the most
sacred and impressive experience of
his own life He had gone to Guam
tico, the marines training camp, the
night before a detachment of five
thousand men were to embark for
France Long before daybreak the
men were aroused, and a large pro-
portion of them assemble for
farewell communion service-shar-
ing, as they went forth in the train
of Christ to offer their bodies in life
or in death, to help redeem the

TOUCHED THEM ALL
Grim Men of War Affected by Pa
thetic Scene.
Only the Passing of Little Coffin on Its
Way to the Cemetery, but for
Time II Held Up Traffic in
Channel Port.

There was some noise along the
1etty and yet more noise in the wide
and narrow streets of the town
changing street cars, whip-cracking
! fiacres, yelling newsboys, honking
taxis, and soldiers and sailors tramp
ing the pavements: Noise enough and
of the kind BETTING a channel port
in war time; but for time at least
we heard the noise let down and the
hustle softened.
In a wide street of shops appeared
white-haired priest with a white
crucifix held high before him. Be
hind him was another priest reading
from book of prayer Two laymen
came next, bearing a little white paint
ed table with d little white coffin-a
cheap board coffin-resting on it, There
was canopy of plain white boards
over the little coffin. There were a
few white blossoms on the canopy and
beside the coffin a few lilies-of- the-val-
ley-only few
Two other laymen followed the cof-
tin-bearers. All the men were bare
headed. Three wOmen-young wom-
en- and young mothers to look at
followed the two men, One of the
young women was in deep black. A
group of little girls followed the young
woman. Two very old women came
last. No more than that. walking
through crowded street at two O'Clock
of bright day!
1t was on us almost before we saw
it. Men took off their hats as it pass
ed; women blessed themselves. Some
times mems lips murmured a short
prayer, always the women did. The
soldiers and sailors, when they were
French, saluted nearly always: the
British sometimes. The officers, if
anything, saluted more profoundly
than the enlisted men and, when they
did not stop dead still, held a hand
to their caps for eight or ten PAGES in
passing.
Two soldiers were talking with two
girls of the streets One of the sol
diers took off his cap One of the
girls stopped talking to say a little
word of prayer. Both soldiers faced
about and all four gazed in silence for
long after the little cortege had pass
ed on. Then the first soldier put on
his cap, all faced about and resumed
their talk, but more slowly and not
quite so loudly as before.
An English Tommy was driving a
street cara swearing Tommy that
you could hear a block away. He
came on the mOurnerS from behind.
He was in hurry, and by changing his
bell he could have crowded by. But
he held the car in check, nursing it
so as not to brighten the two old wom-
en- in the rear-until they came to
wide square. Here there was room.
He changed his bell, not too loudly,
turned on the juice. and hurried to
make up for lost time.
Men are being killed by the mil
lions over here, and other men who
have been there-these very men on
these streets-will tell you that they
hardly turn their heads to see one
more killed. But child is different

also neceSSitates broody hens for this
purpose, or else investing money in
artificial apparatus such as incubators
and breeders. Such an investment is
often too great to prove profitable with
the average small flock. If chicks are
raised, they must be fed throughout
the summer and no return will be oh
tanned until the pullets begin to lay in
the fall. except that the males can be
eaten or sold.
Buying New Stock.
When pullets are to be purchased, it
is well if possible to go to some farm
er or pOultryman who may be known
to the prospective purchaser. In some
cases 1T may pay to make arrange
ments with the farmer to raise the de-
sired number of pullets at an agreed
price. Where the householder does not
have an opportunity to go into the
country for his pullets, he can often
pick them out among the live poultry
shipped into the city to be marketed.
The advice of some one who knows
poultry should be sought in making
such purchase to make sure that pull
let's or young hens are obtained, and
that the stock is healthy. Often the
local poultry associations are glad to
help the prospective poultry keeper TO
get stock by putting him in communi
cation with some of its members hav-
ing stock for sale. Sometimes the
local board of trade or chamber of
commerce is glad to help to bring to-
gether the prospective purchaser and
the poultry raiser.

require much additional expense or a
great deal of extra work to protect the
trees. In making this statement it is
assumed that the orchard is being

can be brought about in neglected or
