NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT
George Really Couldn't Get Interested
Over Probable Loss of Another
Persons Boat.

They were tossing about on the wild
and restless firth in small open boat,
at least a hundred feet from the
beach. He was struggling manfully
to battle with the surging waves and
to pull for the shore; she was sitting
in heap in the stern of the frail
bark, holding on like grim death and
mentally vowing that she would never
again be tempted by her sweetheart's
daring spirit to venture so far from
land.
II know we shall go over" she
shrieked, as the boat gave another
lurch. ooh, George, try and manage
it %
Il WILL" replied he firmly. 81 could
get along splendidly if the waves
didn't make it go all ways at once
Don't be afraid, Sarah. We're getting
nearer, aren't we?"
"a little. Oh, George, what shall
we do If the boat is lost?'
Don't worry yourself about that,
my DEAR" said George soothingly.
"You mustn't upset yourself about
other peoples business. 1t isn't our
boat"
And he continued to fight with the
cruel, remOrseless waves.-Rehoboth

CARE FOR DISABLED
Government to Look Out for
War Heroes.
Arrangements Made to Provide Voca
tional Training for All
Soldiers.

Observation-Disclosures Sam is going to
do more for his disabled soldiers and
seamen than any nation ever did, and
the arrangements to care for the nearly
two hundred thousand men disabled
in battle or through disease or acci-
dent in camp are near completion.
When this army returns there will be
no need for public charity which might
mar self-respect.
The federal board of vocational edu-
cation, operating under the vocational
rehabilitation act, will restore health,
and in the case Of permanent injury
teach trades that may be followed.
During the process the pupils living
will be paid he will receive q wage
and in addition his dependents will be
paid an allowance.
But it is for the decision of the SOL
der or seaman and his relatives
whether he elects to take the course.
When the course is completed the
board will obtain suitable employment
and keep an eye on the man so that
his interests may be guarded. The
status of the man during the period
of training is described as follows:
''The amount of monthly compensa-
ton paid will be equal to the sum to
which he is entitled under the war
insurance act, or a sum equal to the
pay of his last month in the service,
which ever is the greater; but in no
case will a single man or man living
apart from his dependents receive less
than, $50 per month, inclusive of the
sum paid dependents, and man liv-
ing with his dependents receive less
than $75 per month inclusive of the
sum paid to the dependents.
'The man whose disability does not
prevent him from returning to employ.
ment without training will be given
the course of vocational training
which he chooses.
'The taking of the course of train
ing or the actual earning power of the
man will not in any way affect his
compensation. Upon completion Of
his course he will continue to receive
the compensation prescribed by the
war risk insurance and as long as his
disability continues"
Men in service or their relatives
should make inquiries at once. They
may address communications to the
federal board OF vocational educa.
ton, Washington, D. c., or to any of
the IA district offices located through.
out the country.

it's as he took the Long Island train
for New York. How Ellen would de-
light in their little cottage, and exult
in the Surprise that her husband was
not a groom, but a full-fedged coach
man.
Larry boarded the immigrant ferry
boat, and 1T was not till he had
reached the immigrant building on
Ellis island that he found that the Ced-
rfc, the steamer on which Ellen was
coming, was day late.
A whole "a hours to spend without
Ellen! Larry wandered 'disconsolately
through the long bare halls of the
building, stopping to look at the
newly landed immigrants in their cage
like compartments, and thinking of
the time when he had been like them
In one of the halls a girl was talking
to blue-cOated official, and biting her
lips to keep from crying. She was
young and slender. with deep gray
eyes.
I'm sorry" the official was saying
kindly, "but we haven't been able to
get any word Of the aunt who was
to meet you, and you're too young a
girl to work alone in the CITY. It's
against the law. If your aunt doesn't
come for you, you'll have to go back
to Ireland to your own people"
"But they're all dead" said the girl
"Shure, there's no one belonging to me
at all except this aunt in New York
whom I've niver seen. An if she doesn't
come for me" the girl broke off with
a sudden sob, so childish, so piteous
that Larry, in spite Of his happiness,
felt his heart ache for her.
tits a shame, it is" he said to him
self. "a poor young bit of thing like
that! Faith, if my Ellen was only here
we might think of something to do for
the girl" And on his way back to New
York Larry determined to speak to
Ellen about the matter. Women's
wits were much better than mems In
such cases.
Next morning he was early at the
island, and instead Of waiting in the
immigrant building tramped I'D and
down outside that he might catch the
first glimpse of the boat that was
bringing Ellen to him. Presently he
deserted it and his blood raced at the
sight.
He stood as near as he could to the
gangplank and anxiOusly scanned the
faces of the immigrants crowded on the
deck; but Ellen's was not among them
Larry was filed with an anguish Of
apprehension. Then his heart leaped.
He had seen the CLINT of Ellen's red
gold hair! For an instant she faced
him, their eyes met, and then she
turned and spoke to man beside her.
He laughed and pushed back his cap.
AS he did so. Larry recognized him.
1t was Tim Kearney. They were com
ing down the gangplank now, and FL
len, TO steady herself: put bare red
hand on the railing On her fourth
finger cleaned a plain gold wedding
ring.
Larry was too stunned to speak.
Dazedly he turned toward the immi
grant building. He knew not what to
do, or where to 60 The mOckery of
1t all swept over him-the fruitless
years of planning and working; the
little house that he had meant to be
so happy in. Worse than ALL the shame

Larry's
Wedding
IN
BY Constance Darcy Mackay

copyright, 1918, by Mcclure Newspaper
Syndicate)
When Larry Donovan was promoted
from foOtman to cOachman and moved
from a room over the stables to a trim
cottage with fine view of the Hem
stead's lawn, he felt as if the summit
Of his ambition had been reached. If
genius is a capacity for hard work,
Larry could well lay claim to it, for
he tOiled early and late with a peril
nacity which set him high in the es-
timatiOn of his employer, and enabled
him to put by snug sum by the time
he had been in America three years
There was only one thing wanting to
make Larrys happiness complete, and
that was the presence of Ellen
O'Meara, who was already on her way
from the old country. A month ago
Larry had sent the money for her
transportation.
Ellen was the belle of BallymOran,
and his winning her was to be viewed
in the light of great triumph. For a
while 1t had been nip and tuck as to
whether she would marry him or Tim
Kearney. But Ellen had chosen Larry.
and in the letters she wrote him from
time to time there was no mention of
Tim Kearney.
"Shure, her hearts all mine," said
Larry to himself, and as the day Of
Ellen's landing approached his JOY be-
came more apparent.
Indeed, the whole Hemstead house
hold took great interest in Ellen's
coming. The servants knew her age
to dot, that her eyes were as blue as
the lakes of Killarney, and her hair
like FURNISHED copper.
The morning of his wedding dawned
clearly and Larry was in iubilant spr-

Truth About the Desert.

The French, who have been the
greatest explorers of the desert, have
corrected many false ideas about the
desert. The most conspicuous and
persistent of these errors has been
the notion that the desert is a vast
area of sand. The French have
proved that this is not so. In fact,
only about a fifth of the Sahara is
covered with sand.
The greatest desert in the world is
about as large as the United States
and Alaska together. The sand areas
in the desert are somewhat larger
than Alaska; and the rocky table
lands forming most of the desert are
somewhat smaller than the United
States. In other words, the Sahara is
made up of about 100000 square miles
of sand and 100000 square miles of
rock surface.

SUGAR Production.

Although the average acreage Of
sugar cane per farm outside of Louis
lana is quite small, this crop is so
generally grown in some of the South
ern states that the total acreage for
an entire state may be surprisingly
large. In Georgia, for instance the
cane patch per farm is only two
fifths of an acre, according to an es-
innate by the bureau of crop esti-
mates, and yet the estimated total
acreage of the state is 81 300.
