tion, and she took the profered gift. 'fYou-are very goo--" The sentence was left unfinished as she buried her head in her arms and her shoulders shook convulSively.
 Absolutely overcome" thought Bob with much sympathy. Some time later, when she seemed to have recovered and had promised to lead wprthier life, he led her,t the door and sent her away, then returned to his dis- turbed slmber, inwardiy regretting that girl with such lovely face should be mere thief of the slums. All that night and all the next day he thought of her. He was disgusted with himself for not getting her address and man aging to see more of her, if only to be of pecuniary asSistance-and then the unexpected happened. A letter came from Betty. Betty was Bob's sister who lived some distance away with the rest of his family, but who was in the same town, with friends, at the pres ent time on visit As he opened the henvelope a rather crumpled greenbaek futtered out of it and as 1t was bill of the same amount that he had made a gift of the night before, he | haStened to read sister Bettys letter 1 for an explanation.
 Dear Bobbie-it ran-I am return l ing the enclosed, with much praise .,r 1 your generosity and many thanks from my friend, Margaret Allan, a perfect ] dream of a girl, whose acquaintance you made under such strange cireum- l stances. They have a perfectly de- l lightful club over here and last night 1 they initiated Margaret-Q suggested l the initiation as you probably suspect, | for you remember had a key to your 1 apartment)-and that's why she played l burglar.

 will tell you that she was very favor ably impressed, if you won't get toe coneaited, and, of course. I can arrange 1 8 meeting if you wish. But oh, Bobby.
 what will happen to you if I introduce you to Margaret? Love from Betty" It hardly needs to be said that, al
 his eager request, Betty soon arranged for the meeting, and Margaret, witf her irresistible smile and altogether charming manner, was even more won. 1 derful than he had pictured she woult
 be.
 The acquainta nee ripened into friend
 ship and the friendship grew deepe, and stronger until one day Bob said very tenderly, to Margaret:
 Don't pretend you're a lady, Mar
 gsret, for you're only a little burgla
 after all. Margaret dear, do you know
 you have stolen my heart?"
 But Margaret, her eyes beaming witt

HOLLANDS POSITION.

The position of Holland these days Is by no means sn enViable one. That country has clung tenaciousIy to neu- trality from the opening ot the war. It has had an opportunity to watch the way in which the belligerents on both sides have conducted their part in the war. It knows full well how Germany completely tossed aside it's solemn promise to respect the neu- trality of Belgium, to say nothing of its other unjustified war tactics and it knows full well how the allied na- lions have in marked contrast shown their regard for the neutral nations.
 Time and again has Germany made demands upon Holland for the letting down of ita neutrality bars. It has insisted upon the use of the railroad over Dutch territory which reduces by many miles the distance between Ger many and Antwerp and it has threat ened that it would disregard Dutch rights unless it's demands were com- piled with. Under the guise of re- stricting such use of the railroad to operations which do not involve war work, which restrictions are of course not respected, Germany has gained advantages to which no war rules give 1t the right. Whatever the al- lies have secured have been accord ing to rules agreed to by all nations during times of peace.
 But now with It's bases on the Bel gian coast blocked Germany is threat ening to establish base in the river Scheldt running through Dutch ter. ritory to Antwerp. It isn't a ques. ton of the right of Germany to do so it is a matter of necessity. Undel such conditions Dutch rights an1oun to nothing. It is a case like Bel gium's. Under the circumstance. knowing full well the attitude of Ger many there ought to be little question where Holland stands concerning thil threatened move. It isn't believed that the Dutch are bit more ready 10 accept any such affront and dis. regard for its neutrality than the Bel

belief that if the exigencies of the conflict require us to call for fresh efforts Japan will live up to it's ebli- gations. while at the same time the German press is demanding that the Czecho- Slevaks who fought in the Russian army be prevented from leaving Russia with arms to join the allies. Simultaneously the cadets of Russia are asking for help from the allies.
 Germany has unauestionably gained great advantages from the peace which it has made with Russia. even though it may not have come tip to expectations in all respects. It is im- portant from the standpoint of the Russians that they undergo no great CT strangulation, while the allies must realize that in the extension of as- sistance to their former ally it is nec- essary to reestabiish. an eastern front and strike at the enemy from that di- rection. It is therefore of no little importance that the Russian question should be decided as early as possi- be and do it sensibly. It is a situa- tion where the future should not be determined by negligence but by &C., tion.

It has never been quite decided whether Bob was wakeful that night or whether the burgleri being an in experienced burglar, made too much noise, but everybody does agree that though the burglary itself was unsuc- cessful, the affair turned out in a way that pleased all concerned, and much better, to be sure, than had been ex- pected The whole thing began when Bob awoke with an awful start to dis cover that there was surely burglar in his apartment Now Bob, having his own ideas on the management of burglars, soon had his very bright, hitherto unused, and, he feared, un- and stood ready to draw the curtains separating his room from the small living room adjoining 1t.

 "Ah!" A very adnairing and ex, | tremely amazed exclamation from Bob ! as the burglar. or perhaps we should say burglafess, faced him. Bob knew 1 how to manage some species of burg Jar, or thought he did, but this partic. | ular specimen bafhed him.

SAVING ON COAL,

While the coal administration is telling the country. and particularly this part of it which has suffered so much in the last year from lack of fuel, that there must be a saving of GO 0Go.oo0 tons this year if the supply is going to be sufficient to get through the coming winter. it is not too early to start such economy.
 To save that much coal at a time when industry is being driven as never before is no small task, but there are many ways and great many people to get results. In crder 70 give the city of New York protec- ton against possible air >dids by the enemy there has been q curtailment in the street and display lights. There is of course no more certainty that such raids would be conducted upon Jhe metropolis any more than upon Boston and other large points along the coast where not a little work is being done in the way of war pro- duction. It is entirely possible that more real harm could be done war wise at some small city than by dropping bombs on New York city.
 The cutting down in the lighting, however, is going to mean saving in New York and inasnuch as no particular locality is expected to do all the saving it can be appreciated that if there was curtailnent of 7, certain amount of street lighting throughout all New England it would mean nc small amount of coal for next winter. Where lights are no; i necessary it would be far preferable that they should be eliminated and | the fuel saved than that we should keep on flooding our cities with lights
 which can be dispensed with ant make the shortage all the worse next
 winter. If we must save we might a: 1 well start in now.

UNIFIED NAVAL CONTROL.

An English naval authority. A. S. Hurd, is pleading at this time for the establishment of a unified command of the fleet of vessels under control of the allies in the Mediterranean. At the present time certain portions of the navies of the United States, Great Britain, Italy, France, Japan and Greece are operating in the Mediter- ranean much the same as did the land forces of the entente countries dur ing the early years of the war. Each one is under separate command with the lack of unified action and guid- ance. The control of the naval opera tions in the Mediterranean have for the most part been delegated to the French. In the North sea and about the British Isle and France it is in the hands of the British, while in the Adriatic the Italians are in com mand. This has been because the re- spective nations in charge have by far the larger number of warships in those localities, but even as 1t has been recognized as necessary on land there is need for supreme control in the Mediterranean of the forces which are operating by water, and he one to be placed at the head should he the one who is best quail fed for the task of directing the worl regardless of the country to which hs belongs.
 As good results are to be gained from the closest cooperation on watel as on land but an added reason fol the change is furnished by the fac that the Russian Black sea fleet has been turned over to the Germans ant there needs to be every precautioi taken to block that menace as vel as to fight the submarines.

FLAG DAY,

This is Flag Day. We have always been proud of Old Glcry but never more so than we are today when our flag stands for so much and means so much to every American. Our na- ttonal emblem is not only waving ever united country but for the first time in our history it is being carried at the head of courageous, deter mined and growing army in Europe which is fighting for the maintenance of our rights and the rights of hu- uianity. It stands wherever display cd for the principles of our grea country, for liberty and justice, for the relief of the oppressed and the extension of democracy. And it is iii behalf of the principles which it rep Iesents that it is today being followed by our troops abroad and not for con- quest

It is sound judgment that our manu- lecturers display in calling upon the government to supply coal to those in their employ. So far the needed sup ply is far behind. It is time the cen tral authorities got busy. New Eng land does not want a repetition of last seasons suffering, and to allow it will

 true.
 Of our emblem: the Red, White

 tvs flag
 A flag that is loved everywhere In the front for the right and back
 ed up by our might. With all doing his or her share. This Flag of the Free welcomes you. shelters me; Now gladly we answer the call. That asks us to fight for a cause that is right: To make the world safer for all. The American Flag is a beautiful flag The fairest of flags that fly. It is artfully spun from the red of the sun And the white and the blue of the sky. Who'd take out one star, or cut out one bar? Strike him down who'd incite such 8 crime; \ For our Red, White and Blue
 flag for me, flag for you-- Must last til the end Of all time.
