CHAPTER VI Continued.


The chancellor was In his old smok-
ing coat and slippers. He made an
effort to don his tunic, but Hedwig,
on Mathilde's heels. caught him in the
act. And, after glance at her face,
he relinquished the idea. bowed over
her hand, and drew up chair for
her.
And that was how the chancellor Of
the kingdom learned that Captain Lar
isch. aide-de-camp to his royal high
ness the crown prince, had disap-
peared.

watching him with wide. terrified eyes.

that there is trouble. And 1t is not
like Captain Larisch to desert his
post"
"A boyish escapade. highness," said
the chancellor. But. in the twilight,
he gripped hard at the arms of his
chair. "He will turn up, very much
ashamed of himself, tonight Or tomor-
row.
That is what you want TO believe.
You know better"
He leaned back In his chair and con-
sldered her from under his heavy
brows. Milky gone, perhaps TO join
the others who. one by one, had felt
the steel of the terrorists. And this
girl. on whom so much hung. sitting
there. a figure of young tragedy.
"Highness,1 he said ut last, IF the
worst has unprecedented that / do
not beiieve-it win be because there
is trouble, as you have said. Sooner
or later, we who love ours country
must make sacrifices for 1t. Most of
all, those in high places will be called
upon. And among them you may be
asked to help"
Il? What can do?" But she
knew. and the chancellor saw that she
knew.
1T is Karl, thenT
III may be King Karl, Hedwig."
Hedwig rose, and the chancellor got
heavily to his feet. She was fighting
for calmness, and she succeeded very
wei. After all. If Milky were gone,
what did it matter? Only
There are so many of you" she
said. rather pitifully. "And you are
all so powerful. And against you there
is only-me."

for him all the rest of my life, even if
he never comes back. You may marry
me to whom you please, but shall go

/ shall make Earl the worst wife in
the world because hate him."
She opened the door and went out
without ceremony, because she was
hard driven and on the edge of tears.
That night, the city was searched for
Milky Larisch, but without result.

every four mule colts born last year
only two were born this year. The eff
feet of this curtailment will not be felt
Immediately, of course. A mule is not
usually good working animal before 1t
has reached the age of three years.
while the best mules are not initiated
into the field of labor until five years
old. So the greatest mule-shortage is
still four or five years off.
Nevertheless, the Bureau of Animal
Industry is already taking steps to COM
bat it. There is no telling how long
the war will last, says Mr.. Bell, horse
expert of the Bureau, Someone has
said that the last seven years of the
war will be the worst. A mule short
age at any period of the war would
handicap both the army and the
farmer"
For this leason the Bureau is at
tempting to impress southern farmers
particularly, with the need for raising
their own mules. In most of the south
ern states it is an entirely new propa-
ganda, and some of the farmers are re-
garding it obviously. The South at
present according to one agent of the
Department of Agriculture who has re-
Gently returned from tour of that Sec
ton, is mad on the subject of raising
pigs. The pig clubs, promoted by the
department, have engendered a spirit
of friendly rivalry between various
communities, and pigs and plgownlng
have become matters of civic pride. To
own pig is a necessity to the southern
farmers social status as owning a
Liberty Bond. And this, in spite of the
fact that in many instances the appetite
of the pig makes him doubtful asset.
1t IS with some reluctance, therefore,
that the southern farmer may be ex-
pected to turn from pigs to mules. In
the first place, he has mastered all the
scientific principles of pig-raising, so
that now the average southern pig is a
noble specimen of his race, while the
breeding of mules is practically un-
known to him.

The Mules of War
By Frederick J. Haskin

q WASHINGTON, D. c., March 28-
Among the calamities threatening the
American republic are muleless days.
Farmers are already experiencing them
in some localities, but the present
scarcity is nothing compared to that
predicted for the future, unless the pro-
duction of mules is increased.
Just how great misfortune muleless
DAYS would be is not realized by most

HandiCraft OF the Blind

The Maryland Workshop for the
Blind stands for the betterment OF
the condition of those deprived Of
sight, along all lines. 1t aims to make
this unfortunate class self-relant, self
respecting and as far as possible, self
supporting; to help them to help them
selves through work, and above all,
not to pauperize them. At the corner
of Fayette and Paca streets, Balti-
more, Maryland, may be found this ex-
cellent institution. Here daily, like
self-respeCting citizens of the world,
come one hundred and fifty blind men
and women, who toll cheerfully and
efficiently Many of them are from
the counties. To all are given equal
opportunities, and the same handicap
during instruction.
Here too, may be found competent
and willing instructors, for the most
part blind, who having mastered the
difficulties which beset the blind, by
example and precept, help others to
overcome. Chair-caning, brOom-mak-
ing, Misunderstanding, piano tuning,
weaving, basketry, and switchboard
operating are some of the crafts
taught.
We have one hundred men on our
waiting list. To these will be added
those, blinded in battle who will come
to US from lover there" The Gov
eminent has decided to make Balti-
more, the first station, and to send
soldiers, after convalescence, TO we'll
established, existing institutions.
Much may be said of the aptitude,
infinite patience, and efficiency, of the
blind
Many of these men are heroes, who
play their quiet part well, in these
epoch making days. For them, no
blare Of trumpets, nor the lure of the
battlefield, but, as surely, will they re-
ceive their "cross Of war" their need
OF praise, good and faithful soldier,

Visitors are assured of a cordial well

plant serves to convince the surprised
patron of the excellence of the crafts

are perfectly caned; no better brooms
are manufactured anywhere; the same

TO CONTRIBUTE LARGELY
Maryland's Share of Liberty
Bonds Is S3S,OOO,OOO.

Baltimore, Md, April l. -Marylan1's
allotment in the next Liberty Loan, the
campaign for which opens next Satur-
day, will be $38, 259, 600, according to a
bulletin that has been issued by the
Federal Reserve Bank for the Fifth
District at Richmond.
The apportionment for Maryland is
as follows:
Resources S544. 911, 900; Per Cent.
29.43; Quota $38, 900, 900.
The bulletin announces that practic-
ally the same plan of organization will
be used in the coming campaign as in
the two previous ones. THE only
change" it says, ''is that the country
has been made the unit of organization.
THE Central Liberty Loan Commit
tee controls in each state, and in every
county of each state there is county
chairman. 1t is expected that local
Liberty Loan Committee will be form
ed in every town and city, and the most
effective work cannot be accomplished
unless this is done. 1t is our deep con-
viction that this is a solemn duty of
every community.
There is only one method that will
insure success in the coming campaign,
and that is an active personal canvass,
and in this particular every man is his
brothers. keeper and should put forth
his best efforts.
1.-THE test has come to US all-'Choose
you this day whom you will serve
self or country"
Bankers yesterday expressed great
satisfaction oyer the allotment for
Maryland, and predicted that the State
would subscribe its quota with COM
parative ease. They had been expect
ing that it would be larger. The
amout subscribed by the State during
the last campaign was $4,000, 900. and
the organization for that campaign was
not nearly as perfectly formed. as the
one which will start the drive next
Saturday.
A singular situation has arisen In
Baltimore on account of the fact that
many people are anxious to subscribe
before the drive begins.
1t is probable that banks will record
applications during the next few days,
and when the drive opens, have the ap-

INDUSTRIAL DESERTERS.

The time has come when the man
who leaves his post in American in
dustrial life for technical enforcement
of his prerogatives must be branded
as a traitorous Industrial deserter. We,
the people of the United States, through
our government, are employing mill
lions of men in the most exacting serv-
ice that involves risk of life itself for
many and unimaginable hardships for
all, and their maximum pay is $35 a
month and board. National self sacri-
fee and cooperation should be our
watchword. Every man who does not
help binders the victory of democracy.

Memories of My Last Fishing
Trip.


I've wandered to the river, Jim,
I've sat beside the brook,
And IN the ripping ripples, jim,
I've dropped my worm and hook,
But the speckled trout have left the
streams,
The clubs are all the go,
For I've not had nibble, Jim,
Since twenty years ago.
| took a trip to Cherry Creek
And dropped my hook and bob,
But scarcely had took my seat.
Till the gnats were on the job;
They tangoed all around my ear
They pierced me high and low,
The sting was just the same, dear Jim,
AS twas twenty years ago.
| thought I'd cross to the other side,
And wandered down the stream,
To where l found crossing place,
A large but messy beam,
But the same old wood was IN the beam,
1t tottered too and fro,
The dive | took was Just the same,
AS twas twenty years ago.
The bee that buzzed among the flowers,
Close by the hemIock tree,
In hunting for the sweetest sweets.
Made head on dive for me,
Ny carbureter began to work,
l threw her out of low.
The speed l made was just the same,
AS twas twenty years ago.
l passed down by the old mill dam.
Long since gone to decay,
The mill that spanned across the creek,
Had all been torn away,
But the same bull frogs were IN the
stream.
They neither come nor go,
The song they sang was just the same,
AS twas twenty years ago.
But now I've sold my fishing rod,
My hooks | gave the boys,
And if you'll judge from what I've said
I'm seeking other joys,
But when the spring time comes, dear
Jim,
If angling | would go,
hope to catch the speckled trout,
Of twenty years ago.

Somehow or other it is hard for
some of us to realize that work is not
a curse that the man who would find
real happiness can find no better place
to seek it than in his work Work Is
play when approached in that manner.
But we have been making ourselves
believe that work is unpleasant merely
because 1t is work. We can never reach
that bright place in the sunlight Of sue
cess which we call the "top of the lad

that attitude Nobody ever has, and
nobody ever will.-Industrial Conser-
