Suddenly as she sat there by the
roadside. sobbing, a man approached.
she could see him clearly. only a
vague. big shape. II he should see
her-It was so dark. SO far away
from any help. She shrank back
against a tree for shelter.
But as she did so a twig snapped
under her feet, and she stumbled,
with soft little cry. The man stop
ped short.
Who's there? ?" he called sharply.
IL was very strange, but all fear
left Anita the very moment she heard
his voice. OF course. she would be
safe with him. He was a stranger
to her, yet she was safe. she knew.
It's /. Anita North" she called
back, and her voice still trembled
bit and was thick with tears.

helped her out to the road. and quite
suddenly he flashed a pocket light
before her face. revealing her swol-

After that they walked back to

passed lighted windows where happy
family groups were gathered about
the supper tables, but neither one OF
them even noticed. Or if Anita did
so, it was only To reflect that never,
never again need she envy them,
never. never again would she be
lonesome.
And the strangest part OF it all was
that she forgot entirely that he was
only Carlton Davis Of Carterville, and
not to her "class." I doubt whether
she would have cared if this had
been true, but it wasn't. For the
next day he remembered 10 her

A German Pillbox
(From The Hatoation Gasette)

(From The Ha,oaton Gaxette)
THE Hermanns Soehne may be per-
n fcctly innocuous society in its char
ter aims and its constitutional the en-
deavor to perpetuate German ideas and the
German tongue among citizens of and resi-
dents in the United States may be so con-
sidered but the local branch of that society
has been conducted in manner opposed to
the present interests Of the community and
the nation.
"The Advertiser" some months ago called
attention to some of the things done by this
society In the light Of the investigation
under way we will repeat what we know to
be facts regarding the local Hermanns
Soehne.
Included in the membership of this
cety are some 100 per cent Americans, jcal-
GUS of their Americanism and anxious that
they be implicated in nothing that would
bring them undcrF suspicion. These mem
bers have been afraid that others of the
Hermanns Soehne might blab out their true
war sentiments in some moment of excite
mont and taking advantage of the cover of
the German language compulsorily used in
all meetings of the lodge. Accordingly, two
resolutions were drawn up. One provided
that the business of the lodge be conducted
in English during the period of the war in
order to avoid suspicion and possible
trouble; the other an alternate resolution
in the event of the first being voted down
or ruled out was to the effect that all meet
ings Of the lodge be suspended during the
period OF the war and committee be em-
powered to transact all necessary business
The Hermanns Soehne, it should be remem-
bered, is a fraternal organization. with GER
tain sick benefits and funeral expensc nav-
ments due members, and the 100 per cont
American members desired to retain mem.
bership in order not to forfeit, unless tbev
had to, what money they had paid into tho
treasury.
Each resolution was offered and each uyar
summarily ruled out of order. Tho nrea;d.
ing officer refused to permit either to be nut
to vote. Being thus rebuffcd, some Of tho
American members rendered their resipn,-
ton, appreciatnS tho fact that thew could
not remain members of the lodge and kccn
themselves s1s suspicion. Again thew
were rebuFcd, and they were told that their
designations would not be considered.
