they are all anxious to know what it

The shrapnel that got me was moth

the size of that in an auto. 1t went

Kept on going to the left, and have =
cut there from six to eight inches
long and only six stitches. The nurse
has taken them out for me, about five
minutes ago, and l am up and writing
already.
One of these shells that they send
over has 2S4 shrapnel in it, besides
the shell itself. The shell that got
me only landed about ten or fifteen
feet away and I was lying down flat
on my stomach as l heard it coming
and knew it had my address ON it
They say all you have to do is to
give them your name and address aud
they VIII find you, and L sure do be-
lieve it. But one thing about it is
that the Americans give them at
least twice as much as we get, as you
can tell all the shells that go and come
and you get so you can duck them
pretty good. l thought 1 had dueked
mine but a stray one got me.
The Americans sure stopped that
drive on Paris and drove them further

affair. But the next morning, Just
as she vas happily dreaming of some
old castle which she was to re-deeor-
ate. Brian woke her;
.'YOun have to hurry if 1 am to
have any breakfast" he told her.
For a moment Ruth lay trying to
realize where she was. II was only
half past six. She had been sleeping
until eight; then her coffee and bath.
But this WASH Aunt Laura 5. This
was home, her home and Brian's. So
she sprung out of bed, threw on a
kimRoa and hurried into the kitchen
to the once more unaccustomed and
nnweleome task of getting breakfast.
All day, Ruth's thoughts were very
busy.
81 reckon, the first thing, we all
will be hearing you have gone into
business. l hear it is quite a fad up
No TIL"
Peggy Sutton had all unconscious
ly set her thoughts in motion. Now
they wandered on and on of their
own volition. Try as she would. Ruth
could not divert them into another
channel.
She went to the drawer where she
had laid it, and took out the cheek
her aunt had given her.
"She said it was no more-not as
much. perhaps-as she would have Civ
en- a professional. She SAYS my work
is equal to theirs. Audit is twice
as much as Brian earns, ever in his
best MONTHS
All thru the day she wondered.
Then:
"Why notl'' she said to herself,
g Others do such things because it is
a fad with them. Why not do it be-
it is necessary and-because you
love it-had rather do it than-thisl"
looking around the kitchen, and, be-
cause Of her straying thoughts burn
ing her arms as she lifted the potatoes
from the stove.

in her face. 81 won't say anything
to Brian until l see if anyone will
have me. Then / can hire this sort
Of work done. Ugh-how | loathe it!''
as, once again, she burned herself on
the hot dish.

MRS CLAIBORNE PAYS RUTH
GENEROUSLY FOR HER WORK.
CHAPTER XIV.

-
Finally the room was finished. Ruth
had been South a month. At first
Brian had written eheerfnlly, almost
gayly, about keeping bachelor hall, etc.
But the last two or three letters had
told of his lonliness, and had wonder
ed when she was coming back.
"You haven't left me for good, have
yqsi, deari" he asked, pretending to
joke, because if you have, | shall
set the police on to you with orders
TO bring you back. But really, Ruth,
! don't believe you have any idea Of
how lonely l am, or you would pack
up and come by the mex train. /
can't bear TO go home, lately; it grows
more and more lonely without you. .
81 really must gol" she told her
aunt. at a good in Brian 10 let
me come, and / feel abominably self
fish when l think of him there, all
alone, while ! am having a glorious
time here and being waited on like
| used to be. / reckon You all have
most spoiled me again"
Her aunt did not urge her to re-
main. But she figured up what she
would have paid a decorator for the
work, and insisted that Ruth take a
check for the same amount.
The laborer is worthy of his hire,
you know, - she quoted.
"But LOVED to do it'll" Ruth re-
turned, "And really would you have
paid a really truly professional man
all that2'' the check was a large one.
Yes, perhaps more.
This second parting was in some
respects harder than the first had
been. Ruth had so easily slipped back
into the old groove; so readily fallen
into her old habits of luxury, and had
been so loving, as well as beloved,
that they could not bear to see her
go. Nanny Rachel, especially, lament
ed long aud loudly, She had expected
to return with Ruth from the moment
she knew she was coming South. Her
disappointment was very keen, and she
took no pains to hide it.

: The aggravating thing about the war maps publish
ed in the newspapers is that they never have any of the
towns located on them that are mentioned in the dis
patches. 1t is impossible to locate the line of battle from
the maps. Another fault is that too much attention is
given to the thousands Of places that are not mentioned
and the prolixity of detail prevents anyone finding any
hing any place on them that would throw any light on
the dispatches.

1t is all right of course to lool. ahead and provide
for the boys when they return from France, but the idea
that they will have to be taken care of in any great num-
.bers, is a mistaken one. Most of those who have gone
left some gainful occupation, had some position, or bust
ness, and to these most will return. 1t is not a helpless
los of broken down old men who will return, but strong
vigorous young men, able, and more able than ever after
their experiences, to face the world of business. Of course
there will be som come back whose sphere of usefulness
will have ended through wounds or sickness, but these
will be taken care of generously by the government. Those
not called to the war, will find the boys who come home
will make them hustle to maintain their standing in the
business world, for they will be some hustlers themselves.

Germany tells Spain she will continue to sink Spanish
ships no matter where they may be found, or in whose
service they are. At the same time she hopes Spain will
not take offense at a little thing like that, for the reason
that Germany feels she has a right to do anything she
can to win the war even to starving her friends. She ex-
presses the hope that Spain may in time get to liking the
treatment. Probably Spain will, but no other country of
any size would, unless it is Sweden.

BIG SUMS 60 BACK
 TO MINING CONCERN
 UNDER DECISION
UNITED STATES COURT RENDERS VERDICT THAT AGENT CANNOT PROFIT FROM HIS RELATION SHIP WITH COMPANY AND OR DERs ss7,ooo RETURNED

Capt w. s. Overtan. United States army, retired, son-in-law of General Anson Mills, who has been litigating for many months in San Francisco courts over the affairs of the Presidio Mining company, of west Texas, has just scored a notable victory, accord ing to the San Francisco Examiner of November s, which says:
 Declaring that an agent cannot profit from his relationship with a corporation, master in chancery liar " M. Wright yesterday filed a report in the United States district court ordering William s. Moves, general manager; l.. Osborn, former secretary and others to return sS7.550.62 to the treasury of the Presidio Mining com pany.
 "The report will come before Judge William C. Van Fleet for confirma- tion and, if upheld by him, it will indirectly affect the investigation of Howard NJ. Payne, former federal re- ceiver of the oil lands, as the master directly defines the law in regard to persons profiting through positions of trust He holds that all money ac- quired in this manner must be re- turned to the principal.
 Capt. w. S. Overton, U. 8. A., one of the minority stockholders of the Presidio Mining company. brought ac- tion against w. S. Moves, Osborn, B. S. Moves, J. w. F. Peat and L. M. Doherty, charging mismanagement, misappropriation of funds and, in the case of Osborn. embezzlement. Capt. Overton claimed that the majority stockholders and directors had manip- ulated the affairs of the corporation for their own benefit, in pursuance of a conspiracy.
 Judge Van Fleet upheld this con tention and ordered W. s. Moves to return certain mining property which he had acquired by using money from the mining cOmpany's treasury. He then ordered the case referred to the master for an accounting.
 "The court held that Moves had no right to make secret profits, though in some cases the mining company was not injured"
