that saggod beneath him, and eyes filled
with tears
With great difficulty he dragged himself
to the street door, but could not open it.
Everything turned black before him and he
had to lean against the wall to keep from
falling. Only the fear that Anna might
discover him enabled him to make his way
to the street. If the secret service agent
were to him now he would not have
recognized Vilbushevitch His face had
grown CHASTITY pale and had been distorted
from his intense suffering
When he had somewhat recovered from
the shock of his surprise and the pain of
his establishment, he felt strong desire
to discover how and when it had all hap
pened that Anna had fallen in love with
Leggin. To be sure, he would feel no better
If he knew all this, nor would it alter mat
ters in any degree. But the thought ap-
peaed to him strongly.
Only two weeks before he had introduced
Lcggin to Anna. Leggin was a pretty good
fellow, but nothing much else; not any too
handsome, or clever educated And yet
In two weeks. He had come, seen, con-
quered.
Vilbushevitch thought further. Why had
she held aoof from him? Why had she
not fallen in love With him? Neither be-
fore, in their home town, nor now. And
they had been so intimate during the re-
cent months. And she had been so good
to him.
He sank into despair. He was a wretched
man, most unhappy one.
Why, why had the Ochranka pounced upon
him? Why had it singled him out from
all the employees Of "The Free Thought"
The reason must lie within him. 1t was
impossible for a woman to fall in love with
him; all he was good for was to be taken
as promising spy.
Without he tortured himself with
the most narrowing thoughts and felt more
wretched than ever before. Even suicide
came to his mind, or the idea Of getting
wildly intoxicated. But when he had mer-
cilessly grieved himself with the idea that
nobody loved him he recalled his mother
that old woman in the faraway village, who
loved him so deeply and so genuinely
And that night he took the train to his
mother.

TNHERE was peculiar appropriated
81 ness in the choice of Senis as
the place where the armlstice
should be signed for this was the
place the Germans declared at the begin
ming of the war they would mako "the
French Louvain." They did not quite fulfil
their intentions, but some of their most
brutal deeds were committed there, enough
to make it most fitting that it should be
selected as the spot where they would put
their signatures to the acknowledgment
of defeat
Senls before the war was a small and
ancient village, twenty-five miles northeast
of Paris, lying on both sides of the Nonette,
tributary of the Aisne. The slumbrous
and peaceful centre of quiet farming dis
trict. it has a place in history from the
fact that in 1893 a treaty was signed there
between Charles VIII and Macmillan of
Austria. And on that distinction it had
rested for 1926 years. But on September 2,
1914, the Germans came.
They signalled their coming by first
shell at quarter before ! in the after
noon. From then on until 4 o'clock there
was a veritable rain of shells, a pitiless
bombardment. The Germans had placed
their batteries at CLAIMANT, something less
than two miles distant, and chose as their
target the spire of the Senlis Cathedral
They have denied it since and, probably,
will deny it again, but the fact remains
that all the houses destroyed in that pre-
liminary bombardment of Senlis were di-
rectly in line with the cathedral, while the
bell tower and spire Of the cathedral itself
suffered from the bombardment.

n pride upon the battle he had waged,
when he wanted to proclaim it before
a merry gathering Of his friends, amidst
wine and song, ne suddenly stood before the
world, written down common spy, who
had drawn a dogs salary for contemptible
service. No chance to defend himself. I'M
possible to wash himself clean of it. No
body would believe him. He whose name
had been inscribed upon the list of spies
was branded for ever
One person would have believed him: his
mother. But shortly after his departure
she had died suddenly. If she were alive
he would go back to her, tell her the truth.
and under her consoling soothing caress
he would in one way or another endure the
grave burden that life had imposed upon
him.
Or if Anna would love him, She. too
would have believed. But now she. ton
would think that he had been a spy! She
the girl whom he had loved, would now
thank God for rescuing her from him.
He shuddered.
How could he get them to hear his side
to believe him?

the whole truth of his experiences with the
Ochranka. With trembling hand, while his
eyes burned with tears that fell upon his

and staining the paper

while to the beating of his weak heart.
Once 1t rad freed him from the burdens Of
military service; perhaps now it would free
him from the burdens of life. 1t was so
weak, and it seemed that at any moment
it would break
He listened a little while, and then he
shot himself. 1t seemed to him as if with
that bullet he placed seal of truth under
his signature. In the last moment of con-
sciousness left him by the fatal shot a
sweet feeling of peace streamed through his
being and banished all pain with its
delight.

A Growing Concern.

A representative of the Expositor
visited II. p. Dinners fur rooms on
Monday and was surprised TO find
such large stock OF raw furs as he
has on hand. In 1908 Mr.. Dinner
started buying furs on small scale
and each year since that time he has
been increasing the business, and il
has grown to such an extent that his
purchases run away up in the thou
sands of dollars each year. He has on
hand at the present time hundreds of
skunk, fox, mink, muskrat and other
pelts, bought early in the season and
according 70 the latest market reports
these goods have taken a sharp up
ward jump, and the prospects are
good for Henry to clear up a nice
bunch of money on this years busi-
ness. The territory covered by him
in buying furs extends pretty much
over the eastern part OF the state, and
his increasing business is due to a
large extent, to the high prices and
fair dealing he gives to his customers.
Here's hoping the business may in
crease as much during the next ten
years as it has in the past.

Letter From Ellery Weller.

A letter from Ellery Weller pub
lished in the Croswell Jeffersonian
of last week gives some interesting
items concerning FL Paso, Texas. The
camp is located at the foot of Mt
Franklin, six thousand feet above the
sea level. The mountain is forty-two
hundred feet above the camp. They
have had two snow storms with about
two inches each time, but what FL
lery dislikes more than the snow i:
the sand storms, which come Otter
and are very disagreeable. His opinion
of the country is that it's the worst
ever.
Ellery's Yale friends will be infer.
ested in learning that he has left the
infantry and joined the Quartermas-
ter's Mechanical Repair Unit, No. S0E
which he says is just like working ir
a large garage. He gets out of al
military training and will not b'
obliged to go into the front line
trenches while in France.

Presentation of Flag.

After the morning worship, at the
Presbyterian church last Sunday all
attendants remained to witness the
presentation of new flag to the church
from Miss Doering's class, the Loyal
Women.
Coming up from the basement, the
bunch of Loyal Women marched two
by two, opening ranks along the aisle
to allow the passing through of the
Boy Scouts and the little ones of the
Primary rooms carrying flags.
A song was sung by the little people
followed by "The Message of the Flag
given by Mrs. Edward Andreae and
the presentation speech by Miss Doer.
ing. The elders, trustees and Rev
RheingaDs received the emblem and
thanks we're returned by the latter.
A patriotic recitation was given by
Frances Fuller, and class of girli
sang "Y our Flag and My Flag"

sive, and the gift of the dag which ia
made of handsome all-wool bunting

DUST OF THE EARTH

PLAYS given by the Seniors and Jun
iors are two annual events which have
stirred the people of our little city
with the greatest interest for years
past and probably will for years to
come.
The interest centers greatly in
those who portray the characters of
the play because they are OUR own,
they belong to us, these young peo-
pie, getting an education in our high
school. Their work in this part OF
the literary line is amateur, of course
but sincere, and we all appreciate
their efforts and find them, as actors,
as good as many who have had years
of experience.
The play put on by the Seniors this
week Monday evening, after a few
weeks of hard work in rehearsals,
proved, as advertised, to be one of the
best ever. The auditorium was filed
with spectators who gave unstinted
attention and praise throughout the
four acts of Dust of the Earth" an
interesting story, filled with humor
and pathos, well brought out by the
different characters. Miss Mccall,
English teacher trained the cast for
the play and her ability was proved
by the excellent manner with which
all the parts were taken. The cast of
characters and synopsis of the play
were published in last weeks issue
Of the Expositor We congratulate
all concerned in this event on the sue
cess attained.

RED CROSS DANCE

Going back to old Central hall for

times. Central hall has not been Used
for entertainments in long time but

comfy.
A large company was present and
everybody danced with light hearts

ington, violins; Hilton Tice, mando-
lin and Archie Ludington, drums,
comprised the orchestra with Mrs.
George Young and Clifford Hutton
assisting Mrs. Staley.
Before the close of the evening
sandwiches and coffee were served.
The hours spent were felt to be pleas
ant ones and the pleasure was great
er in knowing that a goodly sum
would be turned into the Red Cross
fund.
Net receipts, $67.00

AND SON BANQUET
A Decided Success Financially, Intellect.
ually and Good Things to Eat.

The Fathers and Sons banque
given in the dining room of the
Methodist Episcopal church Tues
day evening was attended by one
hundred forty-eight fathers, mothers
sons and daughters. After the meal
which was served by the ladies oi
the church, was over with, those as
sembled repaired to the auditorium
upstairs and spent an hour or two
listening to speeches, music by the
orchestra and selections by the boys
quartette.
II. A. Williams acted as chairman
and in his pleasing way got off a
few jokes and then introduced Rev.
Raum, of Alma, who took for his
discourse, "Our Homes, Its Friends
and Its Foes" He handled this sub
ject in a mastery manner and his
hearers listened most attentively.
DIR. Shaw, of Port Huron was next
introduced and his talk was along
the same line of the boy and Nthe
home and commended the Y. M. c.
A. in their splendid work in this
country and over seas.
Chairman Williams believed it
only proper that our ministers pres
ent be called upon fof three mif1-
ute talk each, likewise Prof. Drouyor,
superintendent of our public schools.
Rev. Geach, of the Methodist Epic
copal, Rev. Crandall, of the Meth
odist Protestant, Rev. Rheingans of
the Presbyterian and Rev. Charles
of the Disciple each gave some inn
pressions and experiences from his
boyhood days.
AT the close of the exercises ex-
pressions were heard from every
quarter that much good could not
help but come from this gathering
and the speakers and those who took
part in the musical program were
complimented for the fine entertain
ment furnished.
