Their performance justified the COM

said softly. The rest, as I told you,

few moments.

asked you to sign was not Of my doing.
However, we won't go into that. The

He pulled out an order calling for
the payment to him of the amount he
had mentioned and demanded that

the power to help me further. appre-

right now that I won't stand for it"

suspected there was something
fishy about the proposition, but felt
that I could take care Of myself and
decided to see the thing through. I
knew Huyliger would not dare to de-
liver me to the authorities because Of
the fact that had the tell-tale pass

well as my own.
Accordingly said I would be quite
willing to go with him whenever he
was ready, and he suggested that we
go the next evening.

tirely without food and asked him
whether he could not arrange to bring
or send me something to eat while
remained in the house.
I'm sorry, O'Brien," he replied, "but

as best you can. When I brought you

How The Women Can Serve.

No lesson of the war is more fire.
quently. more persistently or more
wisely urged upon US than the neces-
sity for thrift. We must stop vast
ing. We must save and use every
thing. Some of our great industrial
corporations learned the system years
ago, and have practiced and grown rich
by it. Long ago il was said that the
great packing houses used every part
of a pig except the squeal, and now
that the new war taxes begin TO bear,
they will probably use that, too.
We are implored TO save every lit
tie scrap of meat and other food that
in our abundance we have been accus-
toned to throw into the garbage can.
There are toothsome dishes to be made
by second cooking, skillful flavoring
and appetizing additions. The French
women, even the peasant women, prac-
tice the art-why not we? The an
swer is simple because many OF our
women do not know how. They may
have learned 10 save the bone OF leg
of lamb and the meat on ii, but when
they serve it they either put il on the
table cold or merely warm il in the ov-
en-. In either case their men-folk
eat il with sour looks and grumbling
comments. The French housewife
would have made it into one Of half a
dozen kind Of stew, and her men would
have eaten it with relish and with
compliments for the cook.
All Of our women ought TO learn.
Unless they do, all the lessons of
thrift and saving that they are hearing
will be disregarded and soon forgot
ten. Among all the possible useful
enterprises 10 which women may de-
vote themselves in time Of war there
is none that would be more perma-
nently beneficial than great nation
wide campaign to teach our women to
make the best OF scraps.
The basis of the enterprise should
be good free cooking schools in every
community and women should be
urged to attend them by systematic
campaigning as thorough as that which
made the Liberty Loan successful.
As for teachers, there are already wo-
men among us who know how,-Amer-
leans and a fair sprinkling Of French
and Italian women,-and the women's
vocational colleges are doing their
part nobly in adding to the number.
Many who would be capable OF in
structing would be glad Of the en-
ployment and the pay. And would
it not be helpful perhaps TO bring to
America some Of the homeless and
destitute widows of France ?

Unpardonable Discrimination.

Not often does editorial comment
exhibit greater appreciation Of home
talent and more withering scorn Of
those so benighted as not to appraise
it at lis true worth than we find in
the following paragraph attributed to
a Kentucky paper
. Then came the contest Of solos.
Miss Bessie Farrier of Plainville rem
dered in a most beautiful manner that
classic solo, Sing On. She displayed
remarkable power and training, and
she is possessed of wonderful voice,
which will some day make her famous.
One of the judges, specialist n mu-
sic, ranked her first. The decision
af a specialist in music counts far
far more than the decision Of a Judge
who knows nothing about music.
She was followed by Miss Ruth
Kackly of Hill City, who sang lit
tie sentimental love song, All that |
Want in this Wide, Wide World Is
You, You, You. The song is old and
by no means classical. Two OF the
judges, however, ranked her first.
Apparently they could not appreciate
good music. We deem their decision
of little value, for they are very igno-
rant of music. Plainville is ready at
any time TO meet Hill City again in
vocal music, providing We can have
competent judges. AS it was, many
people of Hill City said that Miss
Farrier should have had all firsts.

The Pup and the Boy.

Not many moons ago father and a
mother were cited before a Wiscon-
sin county court on account of the be-
havior of their only child, a boy OF
ten.
Both parents wore an air of COM
plete innocence. They argued that il
their boy had done the wicked things
Of which he was accused some one
else had taught him, and that the
blame lay on the parents of the boys
who had exerted evil influences on
their child rather than on themselves.
They were clearly vexed, and init
mated that the action Of the court
was nothing but persecution.
During a recess Of court, the pros
ecuting attorney, kindly Christian
man, was able to draw the father into
a little sociable chat II was not long
before he learned that the idol Of the
mans heart was young Scotch COL
lie. A friend had given him the pup.
The dog was so attractive and intelli-
gent and was of so pure breed that
its owner took most excellent care of
it. He never let the puppy mix with
the ours Of the neighborhood, lest it
might acquire their bad habits. In
order to provide the necessary exercise
he took the collie for stroll each ev-
ening. 1t was no easy matter, for his
hours were full but so far he had
never omitted day since the dog had
been his property. With all his care,
the man felt sure his pup should grow
into an exceptionally valuable animal.
When court convened, the attorney
put a few straight questions to that
man. How much time did he spend
with his boy ? How hard did he try
to see that the boy had only the right
kind of company =? How did the lad
spend his idle hours and with whom
did he habitually associate
10 those few question neither father
nor mother had one satisfactory an
swer They had let their boy run at
large and play with any child he hap
pened to meet. Ever since he had
been able to run about his father had
spent no time with him, even on Sun
days.
"You ought to raise pups, not boys"
remarked the attorney. "You're bet
ter fitted for it,"
An angry father left the court room.
But few weeks later when he and
the attorney met again the father was
ready to thank the lawyer for the les
son and to promise that hewould prac-
tce with more diligence the art of
being father to boy
