Meantime, the opera house had filled ",
with people from everywhere, who had
bought every seat in it; and MANY others
stood in the aisles. And the orchestra
played, and a thousand lights were shining
like diamonds, and many thousand peonrs
were clappng. 1t was a wonderful scene.
And every one present was subscribing &c,
Liberty bonds and waving their flags when
they paid for them, to show they were
happy.
Then the moment came for Edythe and
Maybelie to go on the stage. They climbed
out of their box and stepped boldly to A
place IN the centre, and Madame promptly
threw her bouquets at them and made Mr..
Grey clap. But no one else clapped them.
The people just stared with surprise at
their hair and red dresses.
Then the two began singing.
Now Edythe and Maybelle we're excellent
girls in their way. They had strong. will

way. Still believing, quite wrongly that
Madame was their head nurse or something,
he said to himself that the kindness of
their hearts knew no bounds. AS a matter
of fact, he did not at all wish to be married,
as his house was a small one and he liked
chocolate cake for his breakfast. But on
privately looking over list Of the Red
Cross's officers, and on noting how famous
and unselfsh they were as group, he
decided it would be unpatriotic to question
it's actions.
Nine. Papreck and Edythe and May
belle moved into his house, and
Madame made terrible scene when she
found Jane Grey lived there. She said Mr.
Grey had never told her one word about
her. This was very true. On the other
hand, when she saw him staring blankly
at Edythe and Maybelle, she remembered
that she had never told Mr. Grey about

street and around the corner, and several

wealthy old hairdresser named
Nine. Papreek She had hair.

She had also three daughters. The two
elder daughters she loved, and the young
est she hated Nine. Papreek wore rich
clothes, and she never dressed any ones
hair. All she did was to sit in corner
by the door of her shop, and keep putting
UP her prices as fast as she possibly could.
She was naughty and cross, and wore ear
rings as long as your arm, and she dyed her
hair three times month, a new color each
time And her two elder daughters were
named Edythe and Maybelle Papreek, but
her youngest daughters name was Jane
Grey, and she slept in the pantry
Jane Grey was really the step-daughter
of Nine. Papreek. Her own mother was
dead. She was a good little girl who had
saved every penny she could, until she
had so many she had bought small Lib
erty bond. Her father was a near-sighted
florist, with taste for the opera. He was
extremely badheaded and gave half of his
money to the Red Gross each day. How,
you ask, could such an agreeable man have
married La Papreek? I will tell you. In
his near-sghted way he walked into
Madame's parlors one morning, because she
had hung Red Cross flags on the heads in
her windows since that was much cheaper
she found, than making a cash contribu-
uon MIR. Grey, seeing these, thought the
shop was a Red Cross headquarters, where
he could make his daily contribution with
out gong downtown. So he handed all
the money he had with him to Madame at
her desk. He then bowed and departed.
The next morning he walked in again and
repeated this action. Soon he got in the
habit of it. Madame was much mystified.
She fancied at first that he wished to
nave his bald head replanted, and she or
aered Miss Frizz, her assistant, to rub it a
ntte. But this only confused Mr.. Grey,
mough be thanked her politely. He backed
aastily out of the establishment and didn't
come back for ten days. He couldn't figure

YNCLE SAM has recently added to
the equipment of the army medical
u J corps a unique dental motorcar
Although Camp Upton, with its
thousands of soldiers, has an elaborate den
tai equipment, with twenty-five chairs at
the dental infrmary, five more for the depot
brigade and three at the base hospital and
a staff of assistant dental surgeons, there
is still need for the dental motor ambu-
lance; for among the thousands of soldiers
who pass through the cantonment there arc
many who for various reasons cannot go
to any one of the three permanent Offices.
For instance, when a Western regiment
reached camp recently, prior to embarka-
ton, it was thought that there were mcnin-
gifts carriers among the soldiers. The
suspected companies were quarantined and
the men were restricted to a very limited
area Obviously, they could not visit the
dental office to have their teeth cared for,
so the dental Office had to come to them
The dental motorcar made this possible.
Then, too, some Of the units are quar-
tered long distance from the camp centres
The remount station, with its 1000 horses,

course, mere mile and a half is nothing
in the life of a soldier, but it does take
time to do the distance, and this time null

A Two-Blade Rudder

COME interesting tests have been made
- recently with dual rudder, illus
trated in Popular Mechanics" in an at
tempt to demonstrate the possibility of
eliminating the reversing turbines of
ships. The action is described as follows:
For normal cruising the plates are
folded together. double steering wheel
is employed. When locked, the two mem
bers turn as one. At other times, when
the two wheels thrown in opposite d.
rections, the leaves of the rudder are adj
justed to desired angles. The equirment
gives boat brake that is quick a, ting;
it enables reversement of direction with
the engine running full speed ahead, and
permits craft to be turned in its own
length. The demonstration boat is able to
reverse direction from full speed ahead in
nine seconds

She has need of all her brains to bring
her little family to maturity. The woods

having been accustomed to discuss plans
with good Mr.. Grey in the old days before
the latter married. Although Mr. Grey was
a florist, and ncar-sighted at that as |
said, he had many ideas on finance, and
was always sincere. SO the Controller OF
the Treasury had valued his advice very
much. Mr. Grey was shovcling coal on
the sidewalk when the Controller arrived,
and he suggested to the Controller that
he stay outside and talk with him there.
But the weather was windy, and when they

The Controller said he was delighted to
hear this, and he went back to Washing

Three weeks later exactly. the night of
the concert arrived. Edythe and Maybelle
were excited. They wore handsome red
dresses and long necklaces of Connecticut
pearls, and a great deal of hair of all
colors, and extremely tight gloves. They
had practised a number of songs with
bell-ringing accompaniments, and they each
had tambourine and therefore felt sure

An eel was caught in Scotland some

appear to have been an exceptional find,

According to Captain James Clements,
dental surgeon Of the nth Division, and in
charge of the work at Camp Upton, this
motor Office has shown itself absolutely in

With its complete equipment, no case is
too severe to be treated, fact which is adj
mirably borne out by the records of the
office. AS many hundred patients have
been treated in day.
The dental chair with its fountain cusp-
dor, is similar to the chairs found in any
we'll appointed office. Conveniently located
at one side is the familiar bracket table
for instruments, while in front Of the chair
are the electric motor and extension arm
