week at the. home Of her brother at
the beach resort.
Outside, homeward bound, the fresh
evening air cleared his besOtted brain.
He shrank within himself as he ana
lyzed the treachery he was about to
commit. In business way he had an
income sufficient to cover all reason
able expenditures of a modest house
hold. The rose-guarded home of Es-
telle was her own. With love regnant,
it would become paradise of delight.
But Eudosia Willis, her butterfly life,
allured him. He would never have TO
toll. The sensuous beauty of the
stately woman would fill his life. On
the one hand, simple love; on the
other, lavishness, luxury, the ready
requisition of change, excitement-all
the alluring enchantment of opulence.
81 will write few brief lines to Es-
telle. 1 will confess to her that 1 am
unworthy of such love as hers. Poor
girl Wretched, selfish craven II But
the die is cast
When he reached his own room his
hand came in contact with the rose in
his pocket. He flung it carelessly on
the bureau, went to bed, tossed un-
easily for time, and finally went to
sleep, feeling that he had sold his soul
to the evil one.
His dreams were not pleasant ones.
He awoke in the morning unrefreshed
and frrif -
was on his mind.
I'll get through with it at one
dash," he muttered, "and send the note
to Estelle. I'll leave the city, so my
determination cannot be weakened.
Wealth, luxury, society," would be a
fool to barter all this for love-"
How the sweetness of past hours at
the rOse-hung garden came back to
him! Passing the bureau, he reached
out and casually lifted the rejected
rose.
Within it the soul of tears fingered,
Their moisture had kept the flower
fresh as when it was plucked. The
strong, vital scent Of the rose made
the man reminiscent. Farther back
than Estelle ran the swift grouping
thoughts of Marvin Farr. They used
to have such roses, all purity and
beauty, at the old homestead where

and he was about to become a pol
troon, traitor, ruthless desecratoI |
of the holy pledges of love. He wa.
vered, dimness came into his eyes
He fell to his knees by his bedside and
burst into tears.
When he arose his face was calm,
his eyes wore new expression Of re
solve, mingled with contrition. With
a steady hand he indited a note to Ar.
thur Bond, to inform him that circum
stances prevented his accepting the In
vitation to the beach resort.
The dewdrop sank deeper into the
heart of the rose, to become a part OF
it-of the rose which was to become
a cherished secret memento to Marvin
Farr through all the years to come.
And after, when gentle, loving Es
telle was by his side, there seemed to
be with them a spirit that blessed
them. The dewdrop had performed its
mission and the soul of Walter Os-
borne was at rest.

DRIVING RIvETs SLOW WORK
Not Only That, but Enormous Number
Of Them Are Needed In
Steel Ship.

The largest single item in the labor
of fabricatfng a steel ship is in the
riveting of her hull; therefore the
driving of rivets is taken as a standard
of size and of progress by most of the
shipbuilders. To build 10000 ton
ship a week means the driving of
about 650,000 rivets in that time. The
Union shipyards of San Francisco, as
at present equipped and freed from Ia
Dor troubles, can drive about 100000
rivets, although in a record week it
drove All, 900 rivets; the four next
largest yards in America-at Fore Riv-
er, Mass, at Newport News, Va, at
Camden, and at Philadelphia upon the
Delaware-ean drive 100000 to 275.000
rivets a week each. A half dozen
smaller steel shipyards will drive from
$4,000 to 10000 each seven days.
Riveting, despite all the inventions
devised to speed 1t up, remains hand
work and slow work. A riveting gang
consists of two men and two boys
the riveter, his ''holder-on," the passer
boy and the heater boy. The gang
drives from 300 to 875 rivets In the
course of a ten-hour day and is tired
lat the end Of 1t. But when you know
that 1t takes four men all Of a working
day to drive an average of little less
than 300 rivets, you can begin to see
the full size Of the labor problem Of
driving at least 850,OO0 rivets a week
necessary to turn out 10,000-ton
ship at the end Of that length of time.
In other WORDS, you need 1900 men for
the riveting gangs alone.
Look at the matter from another an
gle, writes Edward Hungerford in Har-
per's. Ten ships week-the tremen-
dous program for 1918 to which we
stand cOmmitted-means 6,50O,O00 riv-
cts week. And the rivet capacity of
our five greatest yards-with total
working force of $4,000 mon at the end
of 1917-was but 1,350,000 rivets a
week. And riveting represents only.
about 20 per cent in the construction
Of ship.

Dickens and the PIGS.

Charles Dickens, writing of his OBJ
servations in trip to this country, de-
scribed as one of the incidents which
attracted his attention to the numerous
pigs he saw summing themselves in
downtown streets. Long before the
time of which he wrote pigs had been
a source of much revenue, and many
were the protests that followed the ac-
ton of passing an ordinance prohibit
Ing the keeping of them.

poIIies for Little Jan Girls.

In February each year there is &
birthday celebration in honor of all lit
tie Japanese girls. To call this cele-
blation a "doll festival" would not be
a misnomer, for it is then that every
girl receives dolls from all Of her rela-
tives and friends. 1t is then, too, says
the Galveston Tribune, that the mother
allows her little girls to feast their
eyes upon dolls that have been in the
family for many generations. There
are no birthday poles put up for the
little girls, but they get many gifts and
Goodies" Of things to eat. When the
birthday celebration comes to close,
all of the best dolls a little girl gets
are put away carefully, and she may
not so much as take a peep at them
again until February comes once more
and there is another celebration.

Tractors In Cochin China

The French government of Cochin
China has become interested in the
employment of caterpillar tractors for
the cultivation of rice. A as horse
power track machine valued at more
than $1,000 United States currency was
purchased Geographically. If the ex-
pertinent is successful, larger orders
will follow. Everything depends upon
whether the tractor can operate in the
soft rice-paddy fields of Cochin China.

When packing glass or fine china

both of these materials to swell, and
this swelling automatically fills up the
creviees, thus wedging the packing In

RED CROSS HELPS

TIDlNG PEOPLE OVER PERIODS
OF STRESS.
Home Service Sections Render
Many Kinds of Assistance to
Soldiers and Sailors
Dependents.

About 10000 dependent families of
American soldiers and sailors are re-
ceiving material assistance or advice
from Home Service Sections of Red
Cross Chapters in the Atlantic Divi-
sion Of the Red Cross. This state
ment was made by Alexander M. Will
son, Division Director of Civilian Re
lief. Three states, New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, comprise the
jurisdiction of the Division.
The majority of the families which
already have applied to the Red Cross
were in need of temporary assistance
to tide them over until such time as
the Government, through It's War Risk
Insurance Bureau, was prepared to
provide for them. The Red Cross is
giving many kinds of assistance.
to these families assistance which
ranges from outright gifts of money TO
free medical aid and advice.
Every week the number of families
reported as seeking help from the Red
Cross increases. The Red Cross is
well equipped not only to assist the
families already under its care but
1t is prepared, it has announced, to
render service to many others. II
wants to be informed Of the plight OF
all persons experiencing want Oh
worry as a result Of the absence Of
husband, father, son or brother who
is in the service.
Various Kinds of Help.
People who are waiting for then
allowances may feel that the Govern.
ment is slow" said Mr.. Wilson, "but
when we consider that the War Risk
Insurance Bureau was organized in
Washington only about the first of
November, that the checks were being
issued by the last Of December-then
we feel that the Government has or
ganized this bureau with incredible
speed.
"While the Home Service Sections
of the Red Cross are prepared at all
times to render all the help they can
for dependent families, 1t is in stu
alton such as this, when dependents
are waiting for allotments from the
Government, that the Red Cross can
render the most effective assistance
to the families of our fighting men,
"Our work has infinite variety.
What is more, it is confidential. We do
everything, from giving families out
right gifts Of money to making merely
a small loan or tracing a check or let
ter"
Where it is found that children be-
tween the ages of fourteen and six
teen have been sent to work the Red
Cross makes it possible for them to be
returned to school, even paying tut
ton for them at some practical
schools, he said.

schedule for next season, the annual
meeting of the American league was
adjourned last night to meet in

summer to join ship yard leagues
was sidetracked entirely despite the
advance information from President
Ban Johnson that a resolution at
lacking the offenders would be in
troduced. 1t was left to the judg-
ment of each of the club owners to
take whatever action thought neces-
sary.

ing the continuation of the present
national commission and expressing
confidence in ; August Hermann.

adopted, the season will open on
or about May /, 10 days later than
usual, and close on September 80.

" Bismarck, N. d., Dec. 13.-J. R.
Waters, state examiner, yesterday
sold the PAGER. Major Ong, 2:051a, to
DanieIson Bros, of Glyndon, Mimi,
at which is reported to be a long
price.
Major Ong has been one of the
most consistent race horses that has
appeared on western tracks for some
time and, while he did not always
win, any horse that beat him knew
he had been in a race. The Major
took his record in 1914 at Columbus.
o., in the third heat Of a hard fought
race against the famous PAGERS;
Single G and Russell Boy. In this
third heat he was officially timed the
last half of the mile in 5Ssl seconds.
In 1915 he was shipped across the
mountains to the Panama exposition,
where he won the exposition stake in
2:041z, beating the famous California
mare, White Sox. The last season
Major Ong was started in Is races
and he was Ii times in the money.
