Vermont did her duty by the govern
ment and the boys overseas in the
fourth Liberty loan. She was the first
New England state to reach the mark
and pass it, although by some mix.up
in reports the official honor may go to
Connecticut. Vermont did not wait UNI
til the last day, which is more to her
credit than it would otherwise be be-
cause the state has been saturated with
Spanish influenza, which has unavoid-
ably hampered the work of soliciting
Franklin county reached its goal be-
fore the rest of the state had arrived
That speaks we'll for the loan directors
and the people Of this section. 1t will
not be lost on our men at the front. To
State Chairman Morse and to all the
workers and subscribers in the state a
word of commentator is not out of
place. They saw their duty and did it
quickly in the face of great obstacles.
Thus does Vermont once again live true
to her traditions.--St. Adams Messenger

"Of all your dead old places to spend

pretty Marie De Isle to her chum as
they sat on the sands of beautiful

well" said Pauline, you know
every summer resort Is quiet these
days, as this is war time. you cost
remember, and, besides, I knew you
needed good rest, and that is prac-
tically the reason we are here"
"I'll tell you what I'll do. just to have
little fun" said Marie, and opening
a small leather purse took out snap
shot, taken about week before while
playing tennis. I'm going to bury this
in the sand and perhaps some Romeo
will come along and find It."
"Oh you silly little goose" said
Pauline. nobody would ever think of
coming down to such deserted place
as this; but IL 1t will please you, why,
go 10 it." And as the girls finished
their task, they wended their way
home, leaving the picture 10 its fate.
In the meantime, Lieut.. Gilbert Dex-
ter, who had been on active duty in
France and was granted short fur
Tough, arrived at the Bloomdale Inn,
an attractive little boarding house. As
Gilbert's home was in the West, and
his time was limited, he decided he
would spend his few days in recu-
perating. and chose Hillcrest as de-
iightful place to rest.
Next morning Gilbert started out
bright and early, to observe the little
town; and, 1t being a warm day, nat
urally made his way to the waters
edge. Being a little fatigued after his
long hike on the dusty roads, he picked
out secluded spot to be alone with
his thoughts and to enjoy the beautiful
surroundings and the cool, refreshing
breezes from the lake. Finally his
thoughts wandered back TO dear old
France, and as he tapped the sand with
his cane, whistling to the popular tune
of "oyer There" pictured the boys.
Suddenly he spled white piece OF
paper, and as he brushed It off. noticed
1t was picture Of a very pretty girl.

conversation with the crowd he spoke
to Marie personally.
Marie was fiabbergasted to hear him
mention her name; in fact, she was SO
surprised she came near topping of
the landing into the water. But after
a little explanation he brought forth
the snapshot with her name on the back
of it. Marie blushed as she knew she
was guilty.
1t was not long before party OF two

she was glad that such an exceedingly

Dexter was the finder
The rest Of Gilbert's time was spent

love. AS his furlough drew near an end
he dreaded to part with his new-found

that Pauline would be the bridesmaid
