tons in st. Thomas Catholic Church,

The Young Peoples business meeting
and social at the parsonage on Thurs
day evening was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present. The picnic suppe
served by the young women would
do credit to their mothers and We are
sure the young men more than did
their fathers credit in the eating there
of. These Sabbaths are being given
to a study Of the work of the church

Bess raised her magazine and
peered covertly over its edges at the
handsome masculine face across the
aisle Not that Bess was an impress
sionable young creature; strange faces
rarely interested her, but there was
about this one some peculiar magnetic
charm which drew her own eyes un-
willingly.
Resolutely now she pursued her
reading as the miles flew by. A sensa.
tion of being observed forced her to
look up again. The man was regard
ing her wonderingly. as though trying
to place her among past acquaint-

she severely reminded herself. The

car window impatiently. Back there in
town some mutual friend had but to

and one is in duty bound to be pleas

ooh, wellm-Bess abruptly arose
and made her way to the diner. This
was really tlR "last call to the dining
car" There was but one unoccupied
table. Seating herself. she studied the
menu. AS she hesitated over its CON

though apology were necessary for his
intrusion.
Silently Bess nodded; then, at the
mans evident diffidence, she flashed
smile.
You have a perfect right to the
only vacant chair" she said. After
that silence seemed a foolish formal
ity. The man was a journalist, she
learned. and his conversation proved
TO be as interesting as his appearance
had promised. After the meaA 1t
seemed but g natural sequence that
he should transfer his suitcase to Bes-
sizes side Of the car and continue the
conversation there.
The hours now fiew by as quickly as
the miles. Bess dlmpled and smiled,
glancing up into the mans attentive
eyes, and wondered again at that
sense of familiar companlonship.

at the thought Of losing forever, in the

out hope of seeing you again. Your

But Bess was resolute. Tomorrow,
perhaps, he would laugh at the incl

about it,
"Good-by." she said, smiling, This
is the end of short but pleasant ac-

The car was emptying. The man

Would it? Bess was very doubtful,
ms she caught a last glimpse of his
broad-shouldered figure before tho
train whisled her on in the darkness.
And If fate refused to be obliging,
would she forget the last few hours
as easily as she had prophesied?
Long she sat before the fire in her
room that night. From the flames a
mans dark eyes seemed to be re-
preaching her, and the vision would
not be banished. Where was he now
And would he try to find her? But the
hope was not to be enteIained. This
was a prosaic world, where people
went sensibly about their duties. Day
after day she would go back and forth
teaching in the sch0Olhouse ON the hill,
and nothing beautiful or unusual
would ever happen. Then suddenly
Bess sat up listening. Some one was
calling; she was wanted-"Long-dis

How do you do?" came a deep,
well-remcmbered voice. This is your

They do not allow time for one meal

less than five hours should elapse
between meals. If you are troubled
with indigestion correct your habits
and take Chamberlain's Tablets, and

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan of ssising foodstuffs
Swned by householder. Nor 10 there
any policy Of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite Of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly to issue ofdcial de-
malls of rumors that the government
intends Communicating preserves and
canned goods put up In American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
BY pro-German propagandists and part
" By conscienceless grafters, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving pncticsd on greater
scale than ever before in the nations
history, oflcials In Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
Housewives that foods 70 saved are
theirs, and thsirs alone.
