advantage of its comforts, the while he
bewailed the loss Of unconventionality.
1t was there SO was he. Why notg
The idea of fighting appealed to
him. Not only to his patriotism, but to
his love of adventure. Life, as he was
living itSheld very few thrills for him.
Gladly would he seek field for them.
The hum drum, well-ordered existence
which Ruth liked, and which perforee
he led, had no attraction for him-and
had less, as time went on.
He had told the truth when he had
told Ruth that she had robbed him of
ambition. 1t may have been, probably
was a sign of weakness in his char
acter, that he would not work for his
own sake, his own advancement; as
well as for needed money. But in this
Brian was not unlike many others.
Take away the incentive, and man
deteriorates. So Brian had deteriorated.
He had grown more careless in his hab-
its. He had gone back to those he in
dulged in before he knew dainty Ruth.
He had also grown thoughtless of his
speech and manners. 0ftentimes Ruth
had sighed, and wondered what had
come over Brian. Never thinking for
a moment that she was in any way to
blame for the change.
Yet Ruth, as the some unquiet in
stinct warned her, watched and won
dered at the change, but never spoke OF
it.
She was bit too frightened Of It
TO want TO talk.
She thought Brian surely wrong in
his feeling that we would soon be at
war. OF course she was as good an
American as he, and woul dnot dream
of making a Stacker Of him. But il was
time enough to talk of it when il had
been deeided-not now just because
Mollie-her thought halted, then sped
on with lightning rapidity.
1t had been Molhe King who had
put it into his headl OF course it had.
Mollie planned to go, and she wanted
to take Brian with her. Ruth s jealousy
of Molly flared up hot and agonizing.
She was sure she was right. Brian had
spent more time than she knew at Mol
lie s, intuitively she thought that per-
haps he had taken those English Off
GERS there too--those men he would not
bring home because they knew he could
not afford to live as well as they were
living. How did they know what he
earnedl They must be friends of Mol
lies.
She made up her mind to ask him.

RUTH BLAMES MoLLIE FOR
BRIAN'S ANXIETY TO FIGHT.
BY Jane Phelps.
CHAPTER CHI.

CHAPTER CHI.
Ruth conforted herself with the
thought that if it SHOULD happen that
America entered the war, and if Brian
SHOULD go, he would then think and
plan for her--not because she needed
it, but because he loved her. That he
felt there was nothing to plan, no rea-
son to be solicitous of her because she
was perfectly able to take care of
herself, she would have resented. Yet
that was exactly Brian attitude.
Brian Hackett figured that he had
married woman who preferred bust
ness to domesticity, and, such being
the case she was capable of looking out
for herself without any help from him,
That just because she was woman,
Ruth wanted to feel that he was anx-
ious over her, would not have occurred
to him.
He never thought of her as really
feminine and helpless. II was always
as needing nothing he could give her.
This, in way, tinged his manner to
her, and as the time passed, it had be-
come habit to think of her as a bust
ness woman more frequently than as a
wife.
Brian was the sort Of man who
shouold have married clinging, domcs.
tic woman. He would have petted the
afraid-of-a-mouse kind-have hurried
home to protect the timid kind, afraid
to stay alone. He would have joyed in

PEMMICAN FOR EVERY DAY.

No story of the North or account of dash to the
pole would be complete without its pemmican Pemmican
be it known, is more less edible compound whose
basis is dried meat Formerly it was made chiefly Of
reindeer flesh The productis extremely useful in cold
regions where long distances traversed food is
scarce, and facilities for transportation limited
Now, after year two of solemn scientific expert
men the wise old owls at Columbia college have perfect
led process for drying meats They announce that meat
prepared has been kept for year, and at the end of
that tme after soaking in water was found to be just
good fresh meat One of the great advantages of the
dried meat is the reduction in bulk 1t is said that only
onewefth of the shipping space is required which would
be needed for an equal ration undred
to the credit of the Columbia professors that they
tried the meat their tables before sending it to
be tried on the soldiers.
Drying meat as old as time The Indians used this
method So did our grandmothers. Science has merely
modernzed the process and made practical it's application
on a large scale.
Coffee was the latest commodity in general to 60
skyrocketing in price And it seems to be due to certain
welknown spectators in food products jumping and get
