I think l saw through their game

There was considerable hesitation on

at all, Mr.. O'Brien," said the former.

ONLY MADE MATTERS WORSE
Small Girls Efforts to "Fudge" on Un-
fortunate Remark Could Not Be
Called Successful.

A number of women were discussing
Liberty bonds one afternoon in a neigh
bor's house. Almost unnoticed a little
neighbor girl had entered. AT this
point in the discussion she exclaimed
"Well, my aunt says she might just
as we'll buy a Liberty bond as TO be
taXedr''
Her remark caused a good bit of
comment. One guest, who has son IN
the service, became very indignant,
and exclaimed:
1.-The ideal Buying a bond to es-
cape taxation! That's patriotism for
YOU: That makes me tired-anybody
as able as she is to buy bonds, or any
thing"
With that last remark the speaker
FLEW" out of the house.
The little girl, beholding the strife
and bad feeling she had stirred up,
tried to fudge" on her remark, eX-
planning that it wasn't her aunt who
made the remark, but some other Wom-
an. The neighbor women held her TO

she finally burst out with:
We'll, you don't know how much it
costs my aunt to live; and how much
its costs her to take that trip to Nj

The laugh with which +he women
greeted this innocent remark was suf-
ficicnt to send the loyal and innocent
girl running from the room. Truly, her
lines had not fallen in pleasant
places" that afternoon.

SEEMED TO UPSET THEORY
Meat Eater Had No Chance at All
With Vegetarian Supposed to Be
Meek and LoWIy.

Many Of the things we are quite sure
of are probably not true. For instance,
one cannot rely upon the theory that
the diet controls the man-that the
vegetarian is, by virtue of his diet,
meek and docile, while the confirmed
and habitual meat eater is ferocious
animal when aroused.
Mr.. Brandon, in our block, is con-
sistent vegetarian-not only believes
in it, but urges the merits Of his sys-
tenn upon his friends. He was ecstatic
about the fine, tender spinach he was
permitted to enjoy, and made the
neighbors weary singing its praise.
says a writer In the Seattle Post-Intel-
ligencer.
Well, yesterday morning when I
slipped over to pay my meat bill, Mr..
Brandon was wrangling with the
butcher about his account. 1t appears
there was q cipher too much in his to-
tai, or something-it was $40 and Bran
don thought 1t should be 81. Well, any
way, the butcher lost his temper and
called Brandon a liar, and you ought
to have seen that vegetarian land on
the butcher He banged him first on
one side of the face and then on the
other, slammed him down in corner
and kicked him in the ribs; 1t looked
like he was intending to take the
butcher apart when the help inter
Tered.
If man can work up that sort of
action on spinach, radishes and gra-
ham gems, why should anybody buy
meat? And another thing, what was
the ferocious meat eater doing while
the vegetarian was at work on him?
Nothing, absolutely nothing! No, in
deed; he didn't even have time to get
mobilized. 1t seems to be plain that
this theory Of vegetarian docility has
got to be revised.

as best you can. When brought you

possession, would not only have paid
the penalty myself but you would have

Gus q proposition. Why don't you go
out by yourself and buy your food at
the stores? That would give you con-
f1dence and you'll need plenty of it

border"
There was a good deal of truth in
what he said and 1 really could not
blame him for not wanting to take any
chances to help me in view of the rela-
tons between US,
"Very wel.," said; "Tve gone with
out food for many hours at time be-
fore and I suppose l shall be able to
do so again. 1 shall look for you to-

The next evening he came and 1 ac-
companied him to another house not
very far from the one in which 1 had
been staying and not unlike it in ap-
pearance. 1t, too, was a substantial
dwelling house which had been unten-
anted since the beginning save perhaps
for such occasional visits as Huyliger
and his associates made to it.

Yes, Dixmude was the younger sis

to tired eyes a like prospect of green

crowd. The same old North and Roman
bridges, the bridge of the Peage and Of
the Alice, which spanned the Krekel-
beck, were never trod by feet hurrying
from one table d'hote to another. The
calm burghers of Dixmude had cross

summer to plunge again into the In
spiration which came to him from the
old walls peopled with old memories,
and it is largely thanks to him that
Dixmude is still living for US, though
many of his finest pictures have, alas,
been destroyed by the fury Of the
Hun.
Monday, market day, was the most
animated of the week. On that day
Dixmude was alert at dawn, reused
from it's customary repose. The good
women of Essen, Of Woumen, of Caes-
kerke, the jovial dealers from Rou-
lers and Poperinghe, drovers from
Ypres and Furnes shouted their
broad jokes at one another as they
pressed on to the Woumenstraat. The
butter market presented just before
the war a spectacle as stirring and
as picturesque as it had presented for
centuries, and with little difference. I

cupation was entered as that of a
sailor. My birthplace we gave as
Spain, and we put my age at thirty.
AS matter of fact, at that time
could easily have passed for thirty
five, but we figured that with proper
food and a decent place to sleep at
night, l could soon regain my normal
appearance, and the passport would
have to serve me, perhaps, for several
weeks to come.
Filling in the blank spaces on the
passport was, as 1 have said, COM
paratively easy matter, but that did
not begin to fill the bill. Every genu-
inc passport bore an official rubber
stamp, something like an elaborate
postmark, and 1 was at loss to know
how to get over that difficulty.
Fortunately, however, Huyliger had
half of a rubber stamp which had eyi-
IDENTIFY been thrown away by the Ger
mans, and he planned to construct the
other half out of the cork from q wine
bottle, He was very sllillful with a
penknife, and although he spOilt a
score or more of corks before he sue
ceeded in getting anything like the
result he was after, the finished article
expectations. Indeed, after we had
pared it over here and there, and re-
moved whatever imperfections our re-
peated test disclosed, we had stamp
which made an impression so closely
resembling the original that without a
magnifying glass, we were sure, it
would have been impossible to tell
that 1t was a counterfeit.
Huyliger procured a camera and
took photograph of me to paste on
the passport in the place provided for
that purpose, and we then had pass
port which was entirely satisfactory
to both Of US and would, we hoped,
prove equally so to our friends the
Huns.
1t had taken two days to fix up the
passport. In the meanwhile Huyliger
Informed me that he had changed his
plans about the convent and that in
stead he would take me to an empty
house, where l could remain in safety
until he told me it was advisable for
me to proceed to the frontier.
This was quite agreeable to me, as
had had misgivings as to the kind
of a priest would make and it seemed
to me to be safer to remain aloof from
everyone in a deserted house than to
have to mingle with people or come in
contact with them, even with the best
of DISCUSSES.
That night 1 accompanied Huyliger
to fashionable section of the city,
where the house in which l was to be
concealed was located.
This house turned out to be q four
story structure of brick. Huyliger told
me that it had been occupied by a
wealthy Belgian before the war, but
since 1914 it had been uniAhabited save
for the occasional habitatiOn of some
refugee whom Huyliger was befriend-
ing.
Huyliger had a key and let me in,
but he did not enter the house with
me, stating that he would visit me in
the morning.

these places, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The types of fountain
pens, having points which disap-
pear by turning a section of the
barrel, sometimes leak because of
wear. To remedy this, soak the
pen in warm water and permit to
dry, particularly inside. Then apply
oil on the spindle that is revolved.
Heavy cylinder oil is the best for the
purpose. The lubricant should be
worked through the bearing from end
to end. The pen is then refilled and
excess oil wiped off.
