LOSSES DOWN TO MINIMUM
Warfare Mortality Statistics Should
Give Comfort to Those With
Loved Ones at the Front.

Great as the danger and large as
the losses in the aggregate, the indi-
vidual soldier has plenty of chances
of coming out of the war unscathed,
Or at least not badly injured.
Based on the mortality statistics of
the allied armies, soldiers chances
are as follows:
Twenty-nine chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dying
from them.
one chance in 800 OF losing limb.
VIII live five years longer because
of physical training, is freer from dis
ease in the army than in civil life,
and has better medical care at the
front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to 10 men
died from disease to one from bullets;
in this war one man dies from dis
ease TO every ten from bullets.
For those. of our fighting men who
do not escape scathless, the govern
ment under the soldier and sailor in
surance law gives protection to the
wounded and their dependents and to
the families and dependents Of those
who make the supreme sacrifice for
their country.

(THE END.)
The French TricoIor.

The Tricolor, the French national
standard Of blue, white and red, d.
vided vertically, originated during the
first French revolution. In 1889 the
leaf plucked by Camille Desmoulins
in the garden of the Palais Royal be-
came a rallying sign, and green was
to be adopted as the national color;
but, remembering that green was the
color of the hated Prince d'Artois, they
rejected it on the following day.
They at first chose, instead, blue and
red, the colors of the city Of Paris
and later added the white Of royalty,
that had been faithfully preserved by
the national guard. This new standard
was adopted with enthusiasm. A few
months after taking of the Bastile,
Bailly and Lafayette offered to Louis
XVI the three-colored cOcard as a
badge Of reconciliation with the king.
Thus the Tricolor originated as the
! symbol Of the liberty Of the French
nation, and 1t continued as such even
when afterward the reconciliation
with the king ended with his decapita.

She stepped to the door, only to be-
hold her late companion making of
down the village street In great haste
and evident excitement. Approaching
between the drunken rows of grass
huts was n little knot of people. Even
as Norine watched II grew into con-
siderable crowd. for men and women
and children came hurrying from their
tasks. There were three figures In the
lead, a mal and two boys, and they
walked slowly, ploddingly, as II weary
from long march.
"Esteban Norne cried in a voice

into the doorway with one hand upon
her leaping heart. "Estebanl Look !!

Rosa -
There came shadow, then In the
doorway the figure Of man, tattered
scarecrow of man whose feet were
bare and whose brown calves were eX-
posed through tapping rags. His breast
was naked where thOrns had tried to
stay him; his beard, even his hair,
were matted and unkempt, and the
mud of many trails lay caked upon his
garments.
1t was O'Reilly!
Dumb with amazement, blind with
tears. Norine found herself staring up
ward into his face, and heard him say
ing:
"I told you would bring her home"
The next instant she lay upon his
breast and sobs of JOY were tearing at
her.
The story of Rosa's rescue came
slowly and In fragments, for the news
of O'Reilly's return caused a sensa'
tlon. His recital was interrupted many
times. "As matter Of fact. our get
away was ridiculously easy" he said

this miserable tub we found on the
beach"
.Tu risk anything-a raft, even. Is
there an even chance of our getting
across"
Perhaps. 1t all depends upon the
weather."
When morning came O'Reilly made a
closer examination Of the abandoned
boat. The result was not encouraging,
but he determined TO make use Of 1t,
and the crazy craft was launched. 1t
was necessary to handle her gingerly,
and when she took the water she leak
ed abominably. But during the night
She swelled and in the morning it was
possible to bail her out.
From the point Of leaving It was per-
haps five miles across the sound to the
fringe OF keys which in this neighbor-
hood bOrdered the old Bahama chan
mel with its unplumbed depths of blue
water. Here it was calm, so the run
was soon made.
When the coastline Of Cuba had be-
come a blur astern Rosa crept back
and seated herself beside her husband.
How much love you," she whispered.
'But / never can tell you, for we are
never alone. Was there ever such a
courtship, such a marriage, and such q
wedding journey as ours?"
1t proved to be long, long night, for
the boat, though roomy, was uncom-
Portable. Daylight brought an in
creased breeze which heeled the boat
further. Fortunately the haze was not
thick enough to wholly obscure the sun
and so O'Reilly was enabled to hold his
course. But he did not like the look
Of things. In time there came a spite
full drizzle which completely hid the
sun and left no indication Of the course
except the direction whence drove the
rain.
No one spoke now. Even Esteban lay
silent, shivering miserably upon his
sOdden bed. Rosa finally Strengthened
her aching back and smiled at her hus
band.
"Are we going DOWN." she asked.
"Oh no! This is merely a squall," he
told her, with an assumption of conf
dence he was far from feeling.
Deliverance came suddenly, and from
the least-expected quarter. Out of th'
mist to starboard there materialized {
shape, a schooner driving ahead of th'
wind. The refugees deserted her stimuli

wash, waving their hats and their Gala

This SwindIer Up to Date.

Thought reading was the method
claimed to have been employed by
man in Bengal, India, to win large
sums Of money on the race course. 1t
turned out to be a very ingenious form
Of swindle. Finding man who is in
terested in racing, the confidence man
produces roll Of money, and states
that he won this by his fore-knowl-
edge of the winners on the track. He
then suggests that his friend test his
knowledge. He induces his victim to
hand him sums of money to be placed
on the horses. and then vanishes. In

gall had swindled a number Of peo-
pie Of large sums of money In this

"Of course I will. Well take him

O'Reilly saw little Of his sweetheart
that day, for Norine promptly bore the
girl off to her own quarters and there
attended to her needs, the most press
ing Of which was clothing.
While O'Reilly was similarly en-
gagged in making himself presentable,
he and Branch talked earnestly, with
the result that they repaired later to
General Gomez. O'Reilly concluded by
saying:
"Tve done what came to do, sir, but
Miss Varona Is badly shaken by all she
has been through. She's very nervous
and far from well. Esteban, too, isn't

General Gomez nodded. Miss Evans

"They should go at once" OReilly
said, positively. "That's why we came

"But how7 How can you take two

"Bravol You have a way OF doing
the unexpected. Why not2 / don't
think Miss varona will have 1t in her
heart to refuse you anything"
The old soldier was right. Rosa did
not gainsay her lover, and toward sun
down the city among the leaves wit
messed an unaccustomed scene.
Rosa, very dainty in her borrowed
nurses uniform, was round-eyed
timid; she evoked much admiration
but when she was addressed as Senor,
O'Reilly she blushed to the roots o.
her hair and shrank close to her hus

1t was month later. Quaint old Mas
sau lay doing under an afternoon sun.
Up from the beach came O'Reilly and
his youthful alter ego, Jacket. They
were clad in clean white clothes;
month of rest had done them good.
Jacket was no longer wizened; he was
plump and sleek and as full Of mischief
as a. colt, while O'Reilly's leanness
had disappeared and he filled his gar
ments as q man should.
They turned in through picket gate
and up walk. At the end stood cot
tage with wide porches hidden beneath
Jasmine and honeysuckle and morning
glory vines.
"Look, Rosa' Jacket lifted the
heavy string of fish. "We had stu

O'Reilly had eyes for anything but

Rosa had vastly changed. She was
clad in q charming little muslin dress,
there were dimples In her cheeks, she

breast. O'Reilly held her of and de-
voured her with his eyes.

more beautiful every hour" said he.
Rosa danced upon her toes, and
I tugged at him. "But come quickly and
see the surprise we have. I've been

led him swiftly up the steps, and there
standing beside a chair, was Esteban

Intervention! That would be fine,
Esteban cried.
O'Reilly nodded. "Oh, it's bound t

Norine agreed: I'm sure of it. An
