have been the way the sunshine, sift-
ing through the interlaclng boughs and
forming the roof Of the forest path, fell
on them. Some such idea occurred to
Joe as he sat In moody meditation,
but his heart was too heavy to let him
dwell on any such problem as whether
girl can have hair Of two different
shades.
"Has-has Paul Mccormick anything
to do with this7" he ventured finally,
raising his head.
A firm, slightly rebellious expression
crossed her face, but 1t was gone in
flash and superseded by one that was
closely akin to pity.
"Yes, he has" she told him. 81 may
as well tell you 1t all, Joe. You see,
after Mr.. Mccormick was here last
summer we kept up correspondence.
You and me was engaged at the time,
and perhaps I ought to have told you
then; but didn't think either him or
me was serlous-until a month ago
when he proposed to me by letter. The
letters had been getting more and more
friendly of late, and I was not so
much surprised when he asked me to
go to Cleveland and marry him.
"When he was here he told me all
about life In the city; about his yachts
and his automobile, and the beautiful
home he was going to build. And he
made me think lot; though OF course
1 didn't suspect he intended for me to
live In that house. It didn't seem pos
slble then, and 1t don't now, that rich
man like him would want to carry me-
I always thought a heap of you Joe,
and we would have got married next
week, just as we planned only for his
proposal. You see, marrying him offers
me a chance to live the life 1 have
dreamed about so often. Please don't
feel too bad and don't think harsh Of
me, will you, Joef"
Joe stood up and placed his straw
hat firmly on his head. He held out
hand and tried to grin pleasantly.
THAT'S all right, Mae" he said. ~
don't think harsh Of you. When are
you goin', If may ask, and can
carry your things to the station for
your
Tomorrow" she answered. "He
said to wire him II was going, and
he'd be at the station to meet me In
Cleveland. l decided to send a tele-
gram just before 1 get on the train
here. Az for you going to the station
well, / think 1t best we say good bye
here and now"

He was an angular young fellow,
with hair that bordered on the yellow,
and he wore striped green and red
shirt, blue overalls and boots that were
like the proverbial snow shovels. His
eyes were gray, and he had just few
freckles peeping through heavy coat
of tan. Altogether he was not I'M
prepossessing. Dress him up in "store
clothes" polish his shoes and his
speech and his manners, place him in
ballroom and he would have no trouble
In filling his card.
Eyes, Joe, I've got to. You see, all
the prospect before me here is hard
work on a farm. If marry you I'm
just farmers wife. What I want is
to see the world, to live in the big
city, where there are scooting auto
mobiles and changing street cars, and
lots Of lights and operas and those
things"
He grinned rueful sort of grin and
rested his chin in his hands and his

The Way to Know.

The way to really know you have
grown old is not to look at the gray
hairs in your head or to feel sore
when some kid gets up In O street car
and offers you a seat. These things
may happen to you while you are still
really young from every viewpoint on
earth except your years.
But, there Is one sure way to know
you are old. and that is when you
hear a brass band going down the
street and you don't care to follow 1t.
If ever that Indifference hits you, be
sure that the halcyon days have passed
forever as far as you are concerned
When anyone, then calls you grand.

How to Make a Service Flag.

Perhaps 1t is due to the familiar pic
ture of Betsy Ross with the first Amer
ican flag spread out upon her lap and
George Washington and two Of his
friends looking on that gives US such n
bias to the handmade flag, but never
theless, sentiment attaches TO It that
belongs to no machlne-made produc-
ton. Very properly, we should feel
about our service flag In this way. An
12x12-lnch service flag may be made
from one and n third yards Of four-lnch
wide red ribbon, ten inches OF white
ribbon and enough blue to form the
stars 10 which you are entitled. Cut
the red ribbon into four pieces, two Of
1S inches length and the other two so
that they finish on four and hnlf
inches, allowing for senms. Sew these
strips together inserting the white
piece for the field. Then applique n
blue star, or embroider II, according TO
desire. The white field will be varied
in size in accordance with the num-
Der OF stars used.

LONELY ISLAND REMEMBERED
 BY RED GROSS

KILCHOMAN, Island of Islay, Dec. 26 Correspondence of the Associated Press).-This lonely little wind-swept island off the west coast of Scotland, scarcely more than dot in the North Atlantic, yesterday observed Christmas for the first time since it's young men. went off to war, more than four years ago. And in the observ- ance it did not forget to place flags and flowers on the graves of the American soldiers who lost their lives vixen the transport Tuscania was tor pedoed, early in 1917 and the trans port Otranto went down after a colli- sion last October.
 The island people did not expect much of a Christmas, but Santa Claus went to them through the flying squadron" of the American Red Cross in London, and his personal repre- sentative was Lieutenant James lief fries, New York business man, who lives at Summit, N J. The Christmas party brought to Islay half dozen big packing cases. There were candy and toys for the children, pipes and tobacco for the old men, cigarettes for the soldier sons who were home for the holidays, and comfortable things for the women. Pajamas, night shirts, underwear and bed linen found I their way into the boxes. Besides there were bundles of American and British silk flags to decorate the sol dier graves, and a plentiful supply for Memorial day, next May. The distri- button of gifts was made from the schools on the island.
 Little Maggie McPhee, scarce 16, saw soldier struggling in the water, end dashing into tho surf, pulled him | ashore, unmindful of tho fact that she wore her best Sunday dress and that her heroism reduced it to a shapeless ruin. Lieutenant Jeffries learned ot her plight, and yesterday she was given wonderful creation of green which had been selected with the ut- most care by the women of the Red Cross.
 Two dozen American safety razors, with blades enough to last year or two for each razor, were given to the constabulary, who helped the stricken Americans. The pipes and tobacco were for the old men who brought all their knowledge of the sea into the work of rescue. The candy and toys were for the children, who, forming in procession, placed the flowers and the flags on the sol diers' graves, and who, because of tl-eir admiration for the Americans, may be trusted, Lieutenant Jeffries feels, to carry out the same mission on next Memorial day.

(by Associated Prcss).-Lady Rhondda, president of the Women's Industrial League, an. nounces in letter to the newspapers that the object of the new league ia to to organize industrial women workers or all classes so that they may speak With one voice on matters of common concern in the employment of women ill industry.

French Flags the
Sim Fein Regime

London, Wednesday, Oct. %
Speaking at Wallasey, Kheshire, to-
night, Field Marshal Viscount
French, lord lieutenant and governor
general of Ireland, made a bitter at
tack upon the Sim Fem government
of Ireland. Among other things he
said
"The self-constituted, illegal and
insane Sim Fem government is pos
sessed of great secret army called
the Irish Volunteers,' to which are
attached assassins whose business it
is to murder police and soldiers who
question their DEGREES in any COM
munity. The people are frightened
into screening the offenders and
courageous efforts on the part of the
police are abortive. We are anxious
to give self-determination and to be
faithful and just to all, but little can
possibly be done until law and order
are established. When the people
hear of Coercion l hope they will
consider the matter in a just light"

Eek to Be Tried
Here Before Federal
Charge Is Heard

James Arthur Eek, in jail here
awaiting trial Monday on four indict-
ments, charging robbery and false
pretense and grand larceny, will not
be turned over to the federal authori-
ties at Little Rock until he is tried
here. This was decided yesterday by
Judge w. 3. Sorrells, who denied a
petition filed by ]. f. Clifford, rep
resenting the National Security COM
pany.
This petition recited that the secur-
ity company is surety on d bond for
$4,000 to assure Eck's appearance in
the federal court at Little Rock, and
asked that Eek be surrendered to the
United States marshal.
Eek is accused in the United States
court of using the mail to defraud.
He was brought here when released
at Little Rock on the bond. The
charges against him here grow out of
charges by John Mink, an Illinois
farmer, that he was swindled out of
$4,000 by Eek and several confeder-
ates. Eek denies these charges and
declares he will prove Mink's allega-
lions unfounded.

Forage Poison Is
Fatal to Cattle

Fayetteville, Ark, Oct. pa
forage poison which kills large num-
bers of cattle in the South in some
years is very prevalent in Arkansas
this year, according to the plant
pathologists of the Experiment
Station of the University of Arkan-
sas.
This poison is caused by an ergot,
a fungous disease, of very common
wild grass, field paspalum, which re-
sembles "crowfoot" grass. The err
got suggests, in appearance, small
rather dirty white popped corn
grains scattered over the heads of
the grass. Some heads have only a
few while others are covered with
them. Cattle eating these heads be-
come weak and nervous. They have
a staggering gait, and when excited
are apt to fall. In this weakened
state they often die for want of food
or water, or fall into streams and
drown.
Cattle should be kept away from
badly infected areas. A circular de-
scribing and illustrating the dis
ease is being prepared by the depart
ment of plant pathology, EXPERIMENT
Station, University of Arkansas.

her nervousness disappeared.
