Wanted 4 Soldier
By Olive Roberts Barton

Mr.. Brindow had not a pretty
mother. be il said with all due re-
spect TO her memory, neither had
he a sister who went beyond the
specification of plain; even Mrs
Brindow, chosen when past her
early youth, had every other quail
fication except beauty, not an ear
mark of feminine loveliness. And
as for Mr.. Brindow himself, he is
better left unsung.
Therefore when Tinette was born.
an elhn creature with exquisite blue
eyes, sunny hair and skin like the
creamy petals of an Ophelia rose,
and with it all a dear little Cupid s
bow mouth that invited all who saw
to kiss her. Mr.. Brindow could not
understand how It had happened.
He assured himself that he was
asleep and that sOmeday the fairy
spell would pass. and he would dis
cover that the child that had been
born to them looked like every
Brindow for generations had look
ed and by all rights ought 10 look.
But the days passed and the
miracle not only remained but grew
more and more fascinating with
each hour. The little pink hands
and the wee ee-cornered smile
gripped his prosaic work-a-day
heart with a love so pathetically
intense that he grew afraid of it.
In other words from the minute the
little girl made her debut into the
world. he lived for nothing else.
Nothing was good enough Tor her,
not even a name. bLs she had TO
have something TO be known by and
the pTettieSt picture he and his
wife could find in all the books
they pOred over. was oae in fairy

creature reposed peacefully on a
lily pad, and she was called Tine:te.
SO Tinette it was. and she lived
and grew and was patted andpam-
pered and almost ruined 10y both
parents who stood willing slaves 10
obey every command.
But Tinette. although tempera
mental and lovins, had enough OF
good solid Brindow stock to keep
her from being utterly spoiled. and
as she grew up the result was per-
lection. or as near as one can find

Naturally. although it broke their

over $500 tons lightweight capac-
ity which were already afloat and
Immediately assigned them TO the

Included in these requisitioned
vessels were y ships in Great lakes

task was accomplished and the
ships rejoined in less than three
months from the time the ~ -Iact

Another difficulty which faced the
United states in the task OF putting
TO sea vessels TO Offset the ravages
of the U-boats was the repairing OF
the "willful damage" done TO the
former German ships by their Of
ficers and crews before the ships
we're seized. This cost millions of
dollars, and in many instances call
ed for the highest engineering skill
to make and replace parts of foreisn
built engines and boilers removed
or broken.
Every Seized Vessel i'm Service.
Indica TING that the task has heen
attended by success. the statement
was made Tuesday by a prominent
official connected with the shipping
board. that every seized vessel was
now completely repaired and in
service. Many of them have made
as many as three and four round
trips through the war zone.

only one cure for love affair that
he knew-marriage, but not to the
chosen one
one evening he brought a guest
home to dinner. 1t was quite cas-
ual, unprecedented of course. Mr.
Glider was spending the week in
town. and Mr.. Brindow thought it a
shame TO have him at a hotel when
his own guest room was idle
Mr.. Glider was not young. but
neither was he old-the one thing
that impressed the observer was his
substantiality-if one may use the
word. To be plain, he looked rich,
dressed rich and talked rich: and
was rich.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brindow exchanged
glances of quiet satisfaction over
the salad when with patriotic ferver
he exclaimed, Yes, sir. moneys go
ing TO win this war. and [ for one
am willing to do my share! I've
$4,000 worth OF Liberty bonds this
minute and am ready to take more

And when the Red Cross was

Then the y. NJ. c. A got turn
and the family learned he had con-
tributed generously.
Mr.. Brindow beamed. WHY. I
say, Glider, if every American were
like you there wouldn't be any
war; he exclaimed.

GERMAN RESERVES NOW
THOUGHT 0vERESTIMATED
Rsck1essness Of Crown Prince on
Marne Causing Worry for
Ludendorn.

PARIS. August 11.-Important rear
guards are being sacrificed by the
Germans to insure the safety of the
main armies. and there is a well de-
fined feeling among military critics
here that the German reserves are
not as important. or numerous as was
originally thought. The recklessness
with which the crown prince threw
them into the battle Of the Marne,
drawing also from the stock of his
royal cousin. Crown Prince Rup-
precht of Bavaria, is believed to be
causing Gen. Ludendorn some worry.
A temporary lull may be expected
in the lighting on the present lines,
as the Germans are desperately striv-
ing to save their material and retire
their troops to the old Hindenburg
line and rectify the front where they
intend to make their stand.
This is the fourth Sunday since the
allied high command wrested the
initiative from Won Hindenburg and
Ludendorff. and apparently Paris is
already becoming as calmly confident
in victory as 1t was dignified and
stoical in times Of reverse. The news
papers contain no egotistical COM
ment, now that the immediate danger
to Paris is removed, but express con-
tentment at the turn the operations.
as regards the conduct of the war
in general, are taking.
