The minister shook his head.
You told him when l was leaving and
all about it, suppose?"
There was nae secret, was there?" de-
manded Mary.
Mr.. Burnett looked at her seriously.
"As like as not" said he, "he lust
wished to know when the man of the house
would be away. Mind and keep the doors
locked Mary, and if he comes back don't
let him into the kitchen, whatever cock

He knew that Mary was sensible
woman, and, having given her this warn
ing he forgot the whole incident-tilI
later.
TUESDAY was fine and warm. per-
fect day on which to start a Jour
ney, and about midday Mr.. Burnett was
packing couple Of bags with a sense O.
pleasant anticipation when a telegram ar
rived. This was exactly how it ran:

burgh to-day. Will pick you and luggage

lie was delighted with this change in
his programme, and at once countermand-

making scenes and a currant cake for tea
"This Mr.. Taylor will surely be wanting
his tea before he STARTS" said he. Though
it's likely he won't want to waste too much
time over it, or it will be dark long before
we get to Edinburgh. So have everything
ready, Mary, but just the infusing of the
tea"
Then, with an easy mind, feeling tina.
there was no hurry now, he sat down to
his early dinner. AS he dned he studied
the telegram more carefully, and it was
then that one or two slight pecuiari.ies
struck him. They seemed to him very
trIflng, but they set him wondering and
smiling little to himself.

genial and friendly and appreciative of the
scenes and the currant cake that he beoan

pleasant gentleman to inger in his mind
There remained persistent little shadow

yet more thoughtful companion. He
seemed to think of every mortal thing that
the minister could possibly need for hi.

and the buzz of machinery is my game, but
can safely say thjs-that yom will have
no difficulty in getting passport"
Mr.. Burnett again gazed at the water in
silence. Then he looked up and said, with
a serious face:
II must really tell you, sfr, Of a very
remarkable coincidence. Only few days
ago some unknown friend sent me a copy
of a newspaper with notice of this very
vacancy marked in it."
The Lancashire lad looked almost thun-
oerstruck by this extraordinary disclosure.
"Well, I'm hanged" he cried, adding
hurriedly: eff you'll forgive my strong
language, sir"
ut seems to me to be providential," said
Mr.. Burnett in a low and very serious
voice.
With equal solemnity the stranger de-
clared that though not an unusually good
man himself, this solution had already
struck him forcibly
At this point the minister became co.,
scious of the distant ringing of bell.
and recognized, with a start, the strident
note of his own dinner bell swung with
vigorous arm somewhere in the road
ahead. He shook hands cordially with the
stranger, thanked him for the very inter-
esting talk he had enjoyed, and hurried
off toward his overlooked roast
The stranger remained for a few mo-
ments, still leaning against the parapet.
His jovial face had been wreathcd in
smiles throughout the whole conversation;
he still smiled now, but with rather diff
ferent expression.

CHAPTER II
The Chauffeur

M R. BURNETT was somewhat slow in
Ava coming to decisions, but once he
had taken an idea to do a thing he gen.
orally carried it out. In the course of
week or ten days he had presented himself
as candidate for the vacant church of
Myredale and made arrangements for an
pearing in the pulpit there on certain
Sunday in August. He was to arrive in
the islands on the Thursday, spend the
weekend in the empty manse, preach on
Sunday, and return on Monday or Tues
day. His old FRIEND Mr.. Drummond, in
Edinburgh, hearing of the plan, invited
HIM to break his journey at his house. ar

ty the north train on Wednesday night.
Accordingly, he arranged to have tran

tie was rcticent man, and in any case
had few neighbors to gossip with, so that.
as far as he himself knew, the Drum
monds alone had been informed of all these
details. But he had in the manse a very
valuable domestic who added to her more
ordinary virtues passion for conversa-
ton.
On the Saturday afternoon before he
was due to start he was returning from
walk when he caught glimpse of a mans
Inquire disappearing into a small pine wood
at the back of his house, and when Marv
brought in his tea he inquired who her
visitor had been.
"Oh sic a nice young felly." said Marv
enthusiastically. "He's been soger,
wounded at Mons he was, and walking to
Berwick to look for job"
Though simple, the minister was not
without some sad experience of human
nature, particularly the nature of wound
ed heroes tramping the country for Jobs.
II hope you didn't give him any money"
said he.
He never askit for money!" cried Mary.

Senate committee on ths King bill have
testified to certain harmful endeAvors by
members Of the alliance and to indica-
tions Of design in their work. Their
political aims, their obvious sympathy
for Germany, the propaganda conducted
by them, the efforts to spread the use
Of German, all have had baaeful in
fiuence.
Contribution Of $4,000 to the Red
Cross is a token Of appreciation by the
members Of the disbanding alliance that
they owe a debt to this country. A sub
scription to the liberty loan might have
been a more direct attestation Of 10y
atty. But the Red Cross offering is an
outright gift and is to be appreciated
and accepted in the spirit Of its tender.
There is no room in this country for
hyphenated citizenship. The German
American Alliance should have been dis
banded the moment the United States
went to war with Germany. Tho fact
that it did not abandon its organization
until faced with the prospect Of formal
cancellation of charter stands as re-
Election that can be removed only by
the most scrupulous good citizenship
henceforth.

The assal-Emperor's Plight.

Up to date Emperor Charles Of Aus
tria has not denied the authenticity Of
the letter to Prince Sixtus Of Bourbon,
written year ago, in which, suggesting
peace overtures to France and England,
he acknowledged the French claim to
Alsace-Lorraine and agreed to Belgian
restoration and indemnity and also to
Serbian restoration and extension to the
Adriatie. The vassal-emperor has mere
" denied p general terms Clemenceau's
declaration that he had recognized the
French claim as just Perhaps he will
let the matter stand thus, hoping that
in the rush of present matters the ques-
ton of year-old indiscretion will be
overlooked. Prince Sixtus, who is
Charles brother-in-law, is now serving
in the French Moroccan army, and thus
tho means by which the emperor's let
ter reached the government at Paris is
evident. This fact raises strong pre-
sumption in favor Of its authenticity.
Until it is disproved it will be accepted

70 render IN account Of its stewardship
this year. IL wants the auditing In No.
venbsr to reflect popular knowledge Of
| the actual record made.
To supplement this it is suggested that
| the President also do . little talking;
that he resume the receptions he et one
time accorded newspaper correspond
ents, and through them take the public
somewhat into his confidence about war
work.
THIS would undoubtedly make for
"copy," and the press naturally vel.
comes good "copy." But good "copy"
is not the leading consideration Of the
press at this time. 1t has, Of its own
motion, been foregoing excellent copy"
ever since the war began. 1t has rea-
soned that the public's interests were
its interests, and has governed itself &C.
cordingly.
But the press, with Congress, has
awakened to the necessity for change,
and is willing to lend itself to what
ever change or changes may be consid-
cred serviceable to the country. 1t will
welcome :: larger use of its columns by
the President.
The criticism may not be altogether
deserved, but it persists, that the Presi-
dent, not only as respects war business,
but other business, holds himself too
much aloof from Congress; that he does
not encourage the teamwork between the
executive and the legislative depart
ments of the government which is es-
sential to the best work Of both. Hope
is often expressed that he will mend
this, and the suggestion often repeated
that now is the accepted time, and the
war the proper inspiration, for such an
overture by him to the legislative rep
resentatives of the people.

Children's Year.

Beginning Monday q campaign of re-
search into the health Of children up
to six years of age will be conducted
throughout the United States, as fea-
ture of "children's year" The purpose
of this is to lessen the sickness and
death rates among the little ones. The
aim is to save 100000 infant lives by
means of the spread of intelligence con-
corning infant feeding and care.
The work Of the next ten days is de-
signed to furnish statistics as to actual
conditions. 1t is hoped to secure the
weight and measurements of every child
up to six years Of age, to ascertain what
percentage are undernourished OF unde-
veloped. There arr in Washington, it
is estimated, $4,000 children Of these ages
and If the psrents Of Washington re-
spond as they should to the call that
number of measurements and weights
will be recorded.
This will not be an examination" in
the sense Of submitting the child to
treatment. There need be no hesitation
ON the part Of any parent about taking
. child to one Of the established stations.
To do so is not to indicate that the child
10 undsrfed or underdeveloped. The
weights and measures Of children of all
conditions Of health are desired. 1t is
hoped that this research will be so COM
plsts that the percentages recorded viii
stand ~ an accurate indication Of the
state Of the child health Of the Dis
trict, as Of the country.
In sense this is war measure. The
children up to six years Of age win not,

Clean Up the United States.

From the PhiIadslpAia IHQuirsf.
For years far-seeing German propA-
gandists have laid their plans to Ger
manise the United states. They have
established newspapers to boast Of Ger
man sfnoienoy and to portray the de-
mocrAcy Of America a. q weak and
sordid thing not TO be mentioned in the
same breath with the liberty and the
.'kultur" enjoyed under the imperial
istio government OF Berlin. They have
pushed their propaganda into the pull
pits Of many German language
churches. They have invaded the
schools with text books Of the most
dangerous kind. They have encouraged
German immigrants to speak German
only and send their children to German
schools. They have done this for 4
purposs--to dominate the United States.
