Find Raids Difficult.

That the Germans are finding it more
difficult each time they try to reach the
capital is indicated by the fact that
only one raider succeeded Saturday
night in penetrating the defenses of
London. and it is pointed out that his
experience was not a pleasant one, as
bombs on the way in to tighten his ma
chine and to dodge the anti-aircraft
gunfire and pursuing British airmen.
Compared with other raids this, per-
haps. was the mildest yet. although the
night was ideal for flying. there being
moonlight and starlight and little wind.

pleaded, but was too late. Sanueps
mother awoke and ran to Crecaeba's
room to learn what was wrong.
When she heard that people were in
the house she called for help. A
policemen came, but he was too late
the gipsies had fled.
Crebaeba did not sleep wink that
night In the morning they found
that she was very sick. The doctor
was called, and after a thorough ex-
animation he said that the fright of
the previous night would probably
be fatal to her, for she was suffering
a very weak heart. The doctor was
not mistaken Crebaeba's sickness
developed into heart disease, from
which she never recovered. After a
half year of sickness she died, but
"Sherber" was ON her lips to her very
end.

ADVANTAGES FOR THOSE
WHO ENLIST.

Numerous inquiries have been
received at the various recruiting
offices throughout the state in re-
gard to the advantages a man en-
listing now has over the man who
waits to be drafted. An erroneous
impression seems to be prevalent
that registered men can enlist at
any time, and avoid being called
by their local boards. Such is not
the case, however. Registered men.
regardless of what class their local
board puts them in, and regardless
of the fact that their local board
is willing to give them a release,
cannot enlist in the Army. Enlist
ments in the Army must come
from men outside of the draft age,
namely from Is to Fl and from 81
to 40 years of age.
The only advantage the man en-
listing has over the man who goes
into the Army by means of the
draft act is that he has choice of
the branch of the service he likes
best. A man enlisting in the Regu-
lar Army is trained more rapidly,
as the U. S. Regulars are able to
absorb from IS to so per cent of
their enlisted strength in new
recruits. The men train side by
side with veteran soldiers, and in
consequence make much more rapid
progress than they would if sur
rounded by raw recruits, with little
or no previous military training.
The big advantages in the Army,
as in civil life go to the man who
is there first, to the man who is
best trained and most efficient. The
sooner man gets into service, the
better are his chances of winning
the stripes of non-commissioned
officer. Increased rank means in
creased pay, and the pay for enlisted
men in various branches of the
service ranges from $1,000 to $131.

around to find out why I was crying.

he felt sorry for me and went out to
look for it. He couldn't find it, so
he prayed to the moon and I found
it. Would Samuel do that?. 49,. I
wonder why all the children look at
me so much T.. Suddenly her
thoughts were interrupted by a noise
that she thought she heard down.
stairs. She remained silent for a
moment to listen carefully, and sure
enough there were familiar voices
downstairs. She listened and almost
stiffened with fright. Could it be
possible? Could they be here now?
But it was fathers" voice she heard
downstairs. No, she could not be-
lieve it, for it must be impossible
Suddenly she heard someone creep
ing in her room, and before she had
time ito cry out familiar voice said
to her in a low yet distinct way:
"Crecaeba, have you forgotten me,
Sherber, whom you loved so dearly"
She quickly raised her head, and
there before her was Sherber at her
bedside.
Crecaeba did not know whether to
call for help or to remain silent. In
fact she was too excited to do any
thing. Just then, while she was hest
tating what was to be her next step,
Sherber was there at her bedside
pleading with her. "Why, Crecaeba,
have you left us? he began "Didn't
we treat you we'll? Anyhow didn't
l do all I could for you? Didn't I
always pray for you? Do, Crecaeba,
come back, for I love you So! Come
back to the tent and you will always
be with me. shall keep you near
me all the time, just as you do your
own 1ocket. Do, Crecaeba, come
back for my sake, for feel SO sad
without you. Could you feel happy
without me? The gods told me
something about you every night
when went to bed. Did you ever
think of me?"
Sherber could say no more, and
he wept bitterly. Crebaeba, too,
joined in the weeping, for she felt
as bad as he did. While they were
quiet for moment the father" of
the tent entered, intending to take
her with him, for they had found
where Crebaeba was and came to
take her back to the tent so that she
would again sing and dance for
them and in this way enrich them.
When Crebaeba saw him she be-
gan to yell "No! No! Mop

lonesome. During her stay with the
gipsies she had become accustomed
to their tent life and their mode of
living. And now she was brought to
an entirely different atmosphere, to
which it was difficult for her to adapt
herself. While with the gipsies she
made many friends who were very
dear to her and whom she missed
very much. She longed to see the
father" ard the mother" of the
tent She longed for the Gypsy songs
and dances, but of course all these
were out of the question now. Es-
pecially did she long for Sherber, and
no wonder. He was always so kind
and gentle to her and paid SO much
attention to all her wants. Could
she possibly ever forget him? Would
he ever forgive her for her actions
towards him? How sad she felt and
bitterly she wept when the gods adj
vised her to flee, and now he was no
longer with her. 1t might be that
she would never see him again. It
almost brought tears to her eyes
when she thought how sad Sherber
must feel
AS time went on she thought less
of these things City life began to
attract her The boys and the girls
in the town being anxious to know
all about her past life made friends
with her and were indeed surprised
to hear how many interesting stories
about the gipsies she knew and was
only too glad to tell them.
One night, however, while she lay
in her bed near the window she found
herself annoyed by peculiar thoughts.
Perhaps it was due to the full moon
which was shining in upon her
through the open window, for a full
moon was sign of JOY for the gip-
sizes. She tried hard to drive the
thoughts away but found it impos-
SlDle lney continued despite her
urwillingness." What are they to me
anyhow, she thought to herself And
who are they in general? 1t is true
they are very kind to me; they clothe
me neatly and take good care of me,
but is it possible that they do all this
simply out of kindness to me?..
Wasn't Sherber nicer to me than
Samuel? He was always so interest
ed in me, and whenever he would see
that I was not feeling very well he
would 60 out in the fields at once
and pray for me. Samuel never does
that. remember one night-it was
just night like this, the moon was
shining brightly and the stars were
