said that he was fireman by
trade and so was Immediately put
to work.
After two days had passed, the
sea was choppy and the waves were
whitecapped. The barometer was
rapidly falling and the wind was in
creasing in violence.
While preparing the vessel for
the storm Wesson was sent up by
the mate to the crows nest to
place the signals for the night. He
had already made enemies with all
on board the ship, but most of all
he hated the mate. He sWOre ven
gence.
Four hours passed and the wind
was a hurricane The old south
western had broken and was now
at its worst. The masts on the
ship creaked while the winds
shrieked through the sails.
Rain poured with never ceasing
violence and the lightning flashed
wildly in the sky, followed by ear
splitting thunder One wave rose
after another nearly swapping the
ship. Great pillars of waves rose
and fell.
The storm was at its height when
a crash was heard from amid ships.
The ship reeled under the blow and
settled rapidly.
The sailors were doomed. The
life boats had been torn from their
davits so violent had been the
wind
On the following morning the sea
was calm. Wreckage could be seen
floating here and there on the sea-
On closer observation three men
could be seen clinging to a spar,
the only survivors of the storm.
The men proved to be Wesson,
the mate and sailor named Jones.
The spar to which they chung was
! evidently from another ship be-
cause it bore the name LA Marie.
The ate and Wesson had been
quarrelng when Wesson hit the
mate with stick The blow
! stunned the mate and he sank to
rise no more 1t had been a cruel
! cold blooded murder
My Cod" cried Jones.
Shut up" snapped Wesson. "or
you will share the same fate"
A sail hove in sight and they
were picked up. Jones Immediately
told the captain of the ship the
deed that had been done, but Yves

son told the captain that Jones had
gone mad from exposure.
A week later trial was held,
but Wesson proved to be such
good liar that hewas found not
guilty. Some days later Wesson
got into a quarrel over card game
in a saloon and killed a man. Jones
happened to be in the village and
told the seamen Of NELSON'S former
murder.
The mob of men seized Wesson,
bound and dragged him through the
streets ard to the summit of a high
cliff.
When he learned the nature of
his punishment he plead with them
to release him. He cried out in
fear and horror and finally went
into hysteria raving like maniac.
Two men dragged him to the edge
of the cliff and hurled him over.
AS he was being hurled through
space a voice in the mob called out
La Marie" The only answer was
the wailing of the ocean breaking
against the rocks.

The Mother

1t was a cold winter day and the
ground was covered with ice. A
poor old woman, ragged and gray,
and tremt ling with age, stood at
the corner afraid to venture across
the crowded street. She waited for
long time; but the hurried lines
rushed past her with an endless
stream.
After while some school boys
came half sliding, half running
along the street They were glad
not only because school was out
for the day but because it was
showing.
1t was the first snow of the sea-
son, and they were talking of the
sport they would have sliding down
the hill side. Past the poor old
woman they hurried without a
thought of her trouble. Only one,
the gayest of them all, saw how
weak and timid she was and
stopped to help her.
Let me help you," he said. With
llNAl hdllu lSolilIS, vi Ills
arm ne guided her across the
street. He did not stop to hear
her thanks, but with light happy
heart he fastened to join his COM
panions who were by this time
quite distance in front of him.
Two or three of the more
thoughtiess boys were ready to
laugh at him for helping the wo-
man.
Hello, Frank" said one of them,
was that YOU mother?"
NO he replied, but she was
somebody's mother His compan-
ions made no answer for they were
in the wrong.
That night when the old woman
knelt down in her humble home,
the prayer that she said was: God
be kind to that noble boy and bless
him in every time of need.-Con-
tributed by Pearl Bryant, Findley

The Retribution

1t seems from a certain point Of
view that the just suffer more than
the unjust, and sometimes the I'M
just enjoy the pleasures that those
who endeavor 70 do right should
have. This is not always true how
ever-perhap5 never, but from time
to time the supernatural power has
entered and punished far more
swiftly and severely the criminal
than any court could have done.
Such is The case in this narrative.
The captain was seated before
the foreCastle consult some charts.
He was an old man, straight as an
arrow, probably six feet tall, steel
gray hair, weather beaten face with
shaggy eyebrows; in fact he was a
typical mariner of the South seas.
The ship was the good ship Vul-
can, a three-mast Vessel, one Of the
old type that piled the South seas.
She was just going out of sight of
the port Dukar of South Africa,
bound for Liverpool.
There was a good breeze perhaps
too good for low banks of clouds
could be seen on the horizon. The
captain glanced up from his charts
and scanned the sky. A frown
slowly settled on his face as he
watched the clouds in the south
west. However, he resumed his
study of the charts after barking
! out rev orders when a scuffling
! was heard, the door of the hatch
way opened and two figures
emerged from the shadow of the
stairs holding third.
What is all this" demanded the
captain, rising from his chair.

mate holding the prisoner firmly

THE STORY OF MRS. SCOTT.

Mrs. Mary Scott was the most en-
We'd woman in all Jonesville before
the war. Strangers visiting there
would always want to hear her
story and to see her home. She had
been the leader of Jonesville socie
ty. Her husband har been the rich
est man who had ever lived there.
Before the war a visitor could al
ways find her at her home, but
now she is hard to find She is al
ways working for some patriotic
cause. The people have come to
look upon her as their best friend.
If the stranger is fortunate she
will hear Mrs. SCOTS story In
1917, her only son who mshe loved
with all her heart enlisted as an
aviator. She had protested bitter.
ly, but her son could not be per-
suaded to remain at home until he
was drafted. After he had gone to
camp the letters she wrote to him
were filled with her grief. He tried
to thingk of some way to make his
mother see why he had enlisted,
but it was of no use. Whenever
she visited him she always COM
planned bitterly
In spite of this Martin Scott soon
won the praise Of his officers by the
, intelligent way in which he worked
and he was soon made captais
One morning when only one of the
machines was in use sudden wind
came up. Martin knew that the
man would never be able to bring
his machine down in safety, SO he
ran quickly to his own machine and
started for the other airplane which
was drifting to and fro. Martin was
| able to tell the man in the machine
what to do and he was able to
bring it to the ground in safety,
! but the machine in which he sat
caught in tree. He was unable to
free it and knew that there was not
much hope. Suddenly the machine
burst into flames and the wind had
become much stronger, blew it to
the ground where it burned for a
long time. When the people were
able to reach it they found nothing
but wreckage and the charred body.
Mrs. Scott was gone and could
not be found until the day of the
funeral. Martin was buried with
military honors and everyone
mourned for him as every one that
knew him loved him. When Mrs.
Scott heard the sad news she was
, i'll for many days.
After he recovery she was much
changed While she was sick it
seemed to her that her son had
come to her and made clear the
reason why he had enlisted and
asked to help carry on his work by
doing things that would the United
States win. She had come to real
ize what we are fighting for and is
doing all in her power to help.

CorUinced?

The trench life in France is an
exciting one. For this reason, com
bined with many others, Frank Con-
lay had chosen to be a defender of
the STARS and Stripes"
At this moment. Frank was sit
ting on an old barrel in the front
line of trenches, reading a letter
from home. Standing beside him
was his best friend, Duke" Harri-
con. The boys knew him by no
other name than Duke"
Conlay put the letter in his peck
ct and started to light his pipe.
Duke gave him such a punch in
the side that the grunt blew the
match out After an apology, Duke
called Coalays attention to a bunch
of soldiers near by, who were fin
gering a medal which had been be-
slowed upon one of their fellow
soldiers for bravery in action.
Duke smiled. Gonlay grunted con-
temptuously.
On the following day Duke found

was Zero Hour" in thirty-five
minutes the men would rush over
the top for victory
Already the artillery had started
the barage fire. The outposts were
playing tunes on machine guns, and
the great human birds lowering in
the air seemed to be playing tag.
At the rear of the trench an ambu-
lance wagon had come up and the
stretcher bearers hoped out and
started to do their various duties.
You see that big fellow there"
asked Conlay, indicating the per-
son by pointing a long finger at
him. The man whom he men was
about six feet tall and looked to
weigh about one hundred and
eighty pounds. He was a young
looking fellow and well built
Yes answered Duke, what of
it,"
We'll, sir, that fellow is big
enough to take four Fritzes on all
at once, and there he is handling

yellow streak, that's what he has.

Nov listen. Conley," said Duke,
soothingly, that boy is all right
What would the wounded men do
if it wasn't for them to pick the
poor fellows up?"
"All that's all right in it's place,
Duke, but that big fellow belongs

never could tell you anything, any
way"
At the appointed time the bell
was rung and the fellows streamed
over the top screaming their war
cry and charging down upon the
German trenches otter a run of two
hundred yards, they jumped down
into the German trenches and then
began hand to hand battles. Many
men were killed on both sides, but
when the Americans returned to
their trenches they had thirty-six
German prisoners to their credit.
Suddenly cry went up that the
first lieutenant was missing and i'm
mediately dozen men started into
No Mans Land to find the missing
officer. They had not advanced
fifty yards until they found a
stretcher bearer that had been
wounded, dragging the body of the
unconscious officer towards the
American trenches.
Two weeks later the stretcher
bearer was well. and the first man
to shake his hand was Frank Con
lay. Duke stood in the background
and chuckled to himself.
