HAVE A LESSON IN FRENCH
Family and Friends of Young Indian.
apoIis Officer Learn the Meaning
of "Sans Origin"

The son of a prominent Indianapolis
business man recently received com
mission and was called for service in
France, relates the indianapolis News.
The family and many friends of the
young heure9ant were anxious to learn
Of his safe trip across, and the father
received many Inquiries about his
sons welfare during the weeks of 81
lence following his departure.
Finally a cablegram was received
and the word was passed around that
the soldier boy had landed safely.
Someone thOughtfully inquired just
where the cablegram came from, ana
a close inspection of the message re-
vealed what was thought to be either
the port of landing or the headquaf-
tiers of American troops. 1t was writ
ten plainly enough, across the top or
the message-"San SOrigin." Specu-
lation was rife; office associates
brought out aliases maps and encyclo-
pedas were consulted TO find out, II
possible, whether the young officer was
near the scene of activities, at a port,
or in the south of France. Finally
someone with a knowledge Of French
spoiled all the fun by informing the
eager group that "Sans origin" was
the French equivalent to somewhere,
or, literally, without origin. The +a-
BILE operator who had copied the mes
sage had merely divided the letters
In the two words at the wroDg place.

CHAPTER VII.



CINCE nothing in this world is abso-
lutely immutable - the human
emotions least of all perhaps
Billy Louise did not hold changeless
her broken faith in Ward. She saw it
broken into fragments before the evi-
dence of her own eyes and the frag-
ments ground to dust beneath the
weight of what she knew of his past
things he had told her himself. So she
thought there was no more faith in
him, and her heart went empty and
aching through the next few days
But, since Billy Louise was human
and Il woman-not altogether because
she was twenty-She stopped after
awhile, gathered carefully the dust of
her dead faith. and, like God, she be-
gan to create. First she fashioned
doubts of her doubt. How did she
know she had not made a mistake,
there at that corral? Other men wore
gray hats and rode dark bay horses;
other men We're slim and tall, and she
had only had a glimpse, after all, and
the light was deceptive down there In
the shadows. When that first doubt
was nodded and she had breathed into
it the breath of life so that it stood
sturdily before her she took heart and
created reasons, a whole company of
them, to tell her why she ought to give
Ward the benefit of the doubt. She
remembered what Charlie Fox had said
about circumstantial evidence. She
would not make the mistake he had
made.
So she spent other days and long,
wakefu nights. And since it seemed
impossible to bring her faith to life
again just as it had been, with the
glamor of romance and the sweetness
of pity and the strength of her own in
nocence to make it beautiful faith
indeed, she used all her innocence and
all her pity and little of romance and
created something even sweeter than
her untried faith had been. She had a
new element to strengthen 1t. She
knew that she loved Ward. She had
learned that from the hurt it had given
her to lose her faith in him.
That was the record Of the inner
Billy Louise which no one ever saw.
The Billy Louise which her little world
knew went her way unchanged except
In small details that escaped the no.
tice Of those nearest her. A look In
her eyes for one thing: a hurt. Iues-
tlOnlng look thSk Sas sometimes re,

Cotton Industry in China.

China's cotton industry is being rev
olutiOnized by the introduction of I'm
Gle Sans most modern machinery and
methods. The first cotton mill is in
the republic using American power
and equipment and the latest methods
in spinning and weaving are now al
most ready in Tientsin. They are own
ed by the Yu Yuen and Wha Sing Tex
tile corporations, both financed by Chi
nese capital and employing only ma
tive laHoP. Construction on two more
plants, one for the Hou Sung Textile
company of Shanghai. and the other
for the Dee Yee Textile company of
Wuchang, has also been started The
capacity of each of the mills at Tient-
sin is 10000 to 10000 pounds of cot
ton yarn daily, using short staple cot
ton grown in North China. Each Of
the mills has capacity and equipment
ordered for double this production.

WANTS2,OOO,OO
Government Plans Vast Army Of
Youths to Help Nation.
Working Reserve, Organization Of
Young Men Between Sixteen and
Twenty-one, to Aid Uncle Sam.

A drive to enroll 100000 boys in
the United States Boys Working Re
serve is in full swing. At the confer
ence of directors of the movement re-
Gently reports indicated that the vast
majority of high-schoOl boys of Amer
ica will be enlisted in the registered
army of patriotic youths between six
teen and twenty-one years. organized
under the department of labor to help
Uncle Sam in field and in factory, to
win the war.
The government at Washington in
making an inventory of possible sour
ces of labor supply has discovered
great war labor reservoir in the shape
of boys. There are more than 5,OOO,-
600 youths between the ages of sixteen
and twenty-one, of whom nearly 2,OOO,-
600 either are idle for a substantial
part of the year or are employed in
some occupation which does not help
to win the war.
This is the boy power that the Boys
Working Reserve is mobilizing. Every
boy who jumps in and helps do the
work of a soldier who has gone to the
front has a chance to earn a bronze
badge of honor bearing the great seal
of the United States, numbered and
registered, with his name, in the ar
chives at Washington. The national
insignia can be earned in anyone Of
three separate units-agricultural, In
dustrial or vocational training.
Farm training camps each to con.
tain so to 100 boys, for intensive in.
structiOn in agriculture were recon-
mended to the conference of one state
by the committee ON national inten-
sive training. It recommends also:
'That there shall be established in
agricultural colleges or schools courses
of training in agriculture, and that In
high schools and in other schools
where there are boys of sixteen years
of age and over, there, shall be estab
lished like courses to secure a reason
able efficiency among the boys fol-
work upon the FARMS"
All the schools are to be given q
chance to cooperate in every patriotic
endeavor of the states and nation.

through that and on beyond, still run
ming. Farther down was a grassy
nOok-On beyond the road. She went
there and hid behind the willows,
where she could cry and no one be the
wiser. But she could not cry the ache
out of her heart nor the rebellion
against the hurt that life had given
her. If she could only have burned
memory when she burned that clip
ping! She could stin believe and be
happy If only she could forget the
things it said.
Phoebe called her after long while
had passed Billy Louise bathed her
face In the cold water of the Wolverine,
used her handkerchief for towel and
went back to take up the duties life
had laid upon her. The DOCTORS team
was hitched to the light buggy he
drove, and the doctor was standing in
the doorway with his square medicine
case in his hand waiting to give her a
few final directions before he left.
He was like so many doctOrs-he
seemed to be afraid to tell the whole
truth about his patient. He stuck to
evasive optimism and then neutralized
the reasSurances lie uttered by empha-
sizing the necessity of being notified if
Mrs. Macdonald showed any symp-
toms of another attack.
Billy Louise ran into her own room,
grabbed can Of talcum and did ret
wait to see whether she applied 1t even
ly to her telltale eyelids, but dabbed
at them o. the way to her mothers
room.
Doctor says you're all right, NOM
mie; only you mustn't go digging post
holes or shOveling hay for awhile"
mo, l guess not!' Her mother re-
sponded unconsciously to the stimula-
/ tiOn of Billy LOuise's tone. II couldn't
dig holes with teaspoon, I'm that
weak and useless. Did he say what il
was, Billy Louise?" The sick are al.
ways so curious about their illnesses.
"Oh, your lumbago got to scrapping
with your liver. l forgot the name he
gave it, but it's nothing to worry
about" Billy Louise had imagination,
remember.

to worry about if he had it, her moth,

added tentatively.

she had not care beyond the proper
toasting of the bread and brewing o.
the tea.

She did not think there was anything
Ward could do, and she thanked him
for Offering TO help. There was moth
ing, she said pathetically, that anybody
could do. Even the doctors did not
seem able to do much except tell her
lies and charge her for them No: she
did not need any money. THANK you
just the same, Ward" That was about
all. 1t did not sound in the least like
Billy Louise.
Ward answered the note then and
there and called her Wilhemina-mine,
which was an awkward name to write
and cost him five minutes of cogitatiOn
over the spelling. But he wanted it
down on paper where she could see it
and remember how it sounded when he
said it, even if it did look queer. Far
ther along he started to call her Bill
Loo, but rubbed it out and substituted
Lady Girl with capitals). Altogether
he did better than he knew, for he
