There were no signs Of life. The

with shaking hand. No one answered.
He backed away like man In q trance

Suddenly the door opened and an
aged woman servant appeared In an

took one step toward the child and
then halted. He was stranger to his

doubtedly her mother had told her
many times during the Boche occupa-

and that she must avoid them.
The horizon blue uniform of France
meant nothing to this tot. The half
blind eyes of the old nurse had recoK-
1ized her master, and she held out her
hands to him, repeating, "Monaeurl

OLD TIMER
 WANTS ID FIGHT

One of the most interesting men to visit Skagway for some time is F. H. McDevitt, who although nearing tho age of the three score mark in life's allotment of years. join ed ua with the 211th (B. c. Sec tlon) o. 5. Battalion c. E. F. "Am. Legion and went over there to do his bit towards downing the Hun.
 Hs saw service. He went over the top. But there came a time when he was suddenly whirled a round, and when he regained con seriousness, he was in Calgary, Canada, suffering from shell shock.
 Mac" tried 1t again, and even got back into training camp in England, when he there allowed some unguarded word to escape him which diYulged his age. He was sent home. Now he is frothing at the bit to get back. He says in an unassuming way that the world owes him nothing, while he owes the world a whole lot. He wants 70 pay up, and he thinks that he is just as good a man as far as fighting is concerned, as lots of the youn. men who have been chosen to 50 over,, and they would be more valuable to the world than he would be in case of an eVentuality.
 He has promised himself that he will go back to see the finish of the serap, and he says that he has R huHch that he will get there.
 Mfr. McDevitt is a most interest ing taiker, and recounts in a most pleasong manner many incidents of the great conflict which one does not find in the magazines or daily pauers-
 He will be a passenger south on the Princess Sophia tonight for the states where he intends to put into action his plan for getting another whack at the Hun.

SEVERE CANADIAN SUGAR RE
 STRICTIONs

Reports that the Canadian Govern ment Is placing no restrictions on the use of sugar and that citizens oT this country, merely by crossing the border, may purchase in large amounts, are emphatically denied Dy the United States Food Admintstra- tion,
 The Canada food board recent ly issued a statement calling for reduction of Canadian sugar con sumption to IF pounds per per son per month-half a pound below the "honor ration9 requested in this country by the United States Food Administration. All regulations governing the use or holding of su- gar will be rigidly enforced, the Canada food board has declared. It is taking strict measures to prevent hoa rding, Tn most cases imposing jail sentence as well as a heavy fine Manufacturers are strictly curtailed iR their use of sugar and house. holders are prohibited from pur- chasing In quantities which would warrant consumption of more than the requested allowance.
 Citizens of this country would be running 8 serious risk If they at temoted to purchase sugar in can ads. Although restrictions there ara placed upon the purchaser rather thar upon the retail dealer, severe penalties are provided for attempted exportation to the United States without an individual export h- cense from the Canadian War Trade Board, which will grant export h- censes only in cases which meet with the approval of this Govern ment. Supplementary actionl along this line has been taken by the U- nited States War Trade Board, winch has prohibited importation  tior without an individual import license. Persons attempting to bring sugar from Canada to this country would be faced with the possibility of heavy fines and jail sentences should they be appre- hended by the customs authorities Of either country.
 Ia addition to restrictions upon the manufacturers and Limitations upon household use the Canadian food authorities have ruled that no person shall use more than 25 pounds of sugar to 100 pounds of prepared fruit in the manufacture of canned fruits for sale. This' Of course, does not apply to jama' jellies, or marmalad'e.
