When loyalty was In the eye
That melted in my own.
It was not hard to part from him
When courage filled the heart OF him
Who left me thus alone.
The only tremor in the word.
The final word-was that which stirred
My soul to fervent prayer.
Though woman weak, no thought re-
belled
Against his going-for he held
Me brave as l was fair.
Ny hand was steady for his sake,
Captive in his, how could it shakeC
We kissed ard clasped-and parted.
No overflow of anguish marred
The moment-ah! it is not hard
To part with men Strong-hearted.

The failure of many Knox county
motorists to comply with the gov
ernment's request to .'efrain from
using gasoline for Sunday pleasure
riding has led to public statement
by Ensign Otis, chairman of the Pub

Knox county may be kept off the
Stacker list as he expresses it, Mr.
Otis asks all public spirited citizens
to note the license numbers Of cars
which are in use on Sundays and re-
port the same TO the Public Safety
Committee. The city newspapers
will then be asked to publish the
names Ct the car owners. If automo- i
biles are used lngitirnateiy the owners
are asked to mail statement to that
effect to the Public Safety Commit
tee, and the explanation Will be CUB
lished with the name. The public is
much interested to see how this prop
osition will work out
Coal in large quantities, mostly
sof. coal. is arriving at Bangor, but
not in the big four masters and Eve

cars are scarce and a barge here this
week was obliged to unload a cargo
for an upstate mill into storage, for
lack of cars.
Slender business on the Boston &
the winter schedule two months
ahead of the usual time, with the re-
suit that there are now but two boats

ton, although the summer traffic has
by no means ended. The patrons
calmly accept the situation as an out
come Of the submarine invasions, and
derive some consolation from the I'M
Official report that the night train is
not to be withdrawn from the Knox
& Lincoln Division. as was the case
last winter.
