establishments. They thought he was
Joking at first, and laughed pleas
antly; but when he declared his seri-
business they informed him that there
was no chance for any but the native.
No white man could work for the ma
tive wage. Then he tried the hard
ware shops and ship chandlers-na-
tives. 1t was not pride on Williams
part; he would have dug trenches
with the devil himself II there had
been white mans wage in 1t. His
idea was to get enough ready cash
to cable Burns. He dared not ask
the doctor to lend him money. The
man might turn about and refuse to
trust him further. And the clerk at
the consulate had limited that he
could not afford to lend anything ex-
cept his good will, and William was
grateful enough for even that. He
must find a white mans wage for
week or SO. Must.
He returned to the hotel at noon.
Ruth's condition was unchanged. He
remained two hours at the bedside,
then renewed his quest for work. At
five he found himself on one Of the
piers. What drew him toward
group of white men he did not know.
1t was one of those mysterious
lunches" Perhaps it was their ex-
cited gestures. At any rate, he APP
preached. Three of the men We're
officers off some vessel in the harbor,
and the fourth was a landsman.
II tell you Jason's gone to the pal
ace at Johore. He's the only expert
I've got the only man in Singapore
who could handle your work just now.
The sultan is installing new plumb
ing. It's four or Ave weeks job,
and can't call him back for a Job
that isn't worth more than three
thousand rupees, probably good deal
less"
But, man, can't you dig up some
one for US? We can't wait~for your
expert to return and we can't put
to sea with fresh water tanks aleak
and the piping broken God knows
where! l can't afford to have any
native tinkering around my ship. It's
no ordinary Job. Why can't you ham
die 1t personality"
Simply because while I manage a
shop I'm no expert plumber. Jason
Is probably the only man in Singa-
pore who knows anything about ship
plumbing"

Ship plumbing! williams heart
leaped thunderously. So much de-
pended upon his address. He called
1t bluff. He would have exchanged
year of his life for ten minutes Of
that old fearlessness. If he could
keep his voice steady, mask his anx-
iety He stepped forward.
Pardon me. but are you looking
for an expert plumber? I'm one"
The four turned upon him abruptly
and rather resentfully. They were
English. Hidebound in their dislike
and suspicion of all things which did
not conform with routine, they in
stantly looked upon William as an i'm
pertinent bounder. But williams
bold front and good clothes dissi-
pated their first impression that he
might be a beach comber. One Of
the officers saw him for exactly what
he was. an idle tourist. He decided
in this instance to discount formal
ity in favor of common-sense.
You are an American. 1 fancy?"
II am, and I'm an expert plumber.
Couldn't help overhearing your talk.
I've nothing to do, so I thought

dull between boats, and Rallies isn't
lively joint just now. And 1 know
something about the insides of
ship"
Which was perfectly true. Like all
skilled mechanics. William was of an
investigating trend. He could pass
a Corregio or a Titan without a
thrill; but a piece of strange ma
chinery hypnotized him. Due to the
friendliness of the Ajax's chief en-
gineer, William had familiarized
himself with that marvellous network
OF pipes which sprawls hither and
yon between the decks of all big sea-
going steamers until he knew them
as the lines in his palm. So he was
not throwing his dice blindly.
The chief engineer-for William
recognized his stripes-looke at his
watch. After all, the situation was
quite as unusual as this young mans
offer. 1t was no time to dodder, I'M
less he wanted to lay up in port for
weeks. 1t might be that he had
fallen into a bit of genuine luck.
Five o'clock. I suppose I'll have
to take a chance. Step aboard the

Display of Ribbon.

WHEN the war started and Gen.
Peyton March, chief of staff, first
appeared before the Senate military
committee in connection with mill
tary legislation, he wore single rib
bon on his coat, denoting his cam.
paings in the Army. Now. together
with ribbons denoting foreign decora-
tions as well as some given him in
this country, together with service
bars, he has three rows Of them over

you've got good working plan Of
the piping?"
Yes. Queer game. Usually the
carpenter and the assistant engineer
could have handled the job. They
left the ship at Saigon. Lascar crew
good servants. good sailors, but not
up to job like this. And everybody
in Singapore Is on some other job.
Worse luck"
At seven o'clock william had 10.
Gated the vital spots. The port side
of the main deck, forward and amid
ship, would have to be torn up. The
job would take perhaps eight or ten
days. He would depend upon the
manager for helpers. He would give
his services as expert for two hum
dred dollars; they could accept it or
decline it, as they pleased. The man.
ager, seeing his profits dwindling-
but forgetting that he was in luck
to have any profits-swore roundly
that the price was exorbitant
Give 1T and have done arguing"
cried the chief engineer. We're in
a badly rotten hole, and this chap
seems able to help us out. The whole
job will come to about two hundred
pounds. Our lines give you a deal Of
business. man. and for once I fancy
you can cut down your profits a little
to save us time"
The manager finally agreed to the
terms, and William started back to
town. The sweat he wiped from his
forehead could not be charged to the
heat. Two hundred dollars There
was something in this Irish luck,
after all.

THE TIE

TIME day when the captain re-
turned to the front with the
stock of knitted things which
he had gone to Paris to pro-
cure Sergt. Vernot received as his
share-besides leggins, gloves and q
chest protector muffier. a pretty
muffler made out Of soft and delicate
grayish blue wool.
His pleasure was extreme-in the
first place because in the monotonous
life Of the trenches any surprise Is a
great event, and an agreeable sur
prise, recalling life behind the front,
assumes a tenfold Importance And
In the second place because Charles
fce-that is to say, a man already
subject, although only twenty-five
years old, to the sensitiveness to cold
which is induced by a sedentary oc-
cupation, like scratching on paper.
And, above all, he was a bit Of poet
in his leisure hours. He, therefore,
shivered a little more than his COM
rades. and 1t was with genuine salts
faction that he unfolded and tried on
at once the welcome muller, so soft,
so fluffy, SO blue-a coquettish adorn-
ment for q mudstained soldier like
himself.
Something white attracted his at
tention. Fastened to one end, like
a butterfly. was g. little card, which
contained these words, written in
fine hand:

ageous and recover my country. That

who thinks Of you. Madeleine Deck
err, Sainte Odile Bureau"
An Alsatian! Charles Vernot, who
had been in the Argonne for two
months, awaited impatiently the mo-
ment when he should penetrate into
that Alsace of which he had often
dreamed, which he hoped to do what
he could to reconquer and which
irresistible charm.
AS he stood, deep in thought, with
the little card in his hand. something
very soft caressed his cheek, some
thing still softer than the flossy gray
ish- blue wool. He examined the muf-
fier carefully and found long blond
lock. silky and fine, which the knitter,
either by inadvertence or through CO.
quetry, had imprisoned in her work.
Thereafter, during his hours Of in
action, Charles Vernot did not find
time heavy on his hands in the
trenches. The card and the blond
hair Of his Alsatian furnished him

All through the long night william
sat by the bed. Sometimes he cracked
the artificial ice for the nurse, or he

the nurse when three o'clock came
around. You need sleep. lots of 1t.
II you're going to help me. You'll
have to do something in watching
during the day, until the crisis is
past"
William had not engaged any room
for himself at the hotel. His idea
had been to seek out some nearby
boarding house. He wanted to leave
Ruth with a sense Of absolute free
DOM She alone was regist cred, and
only as Miss Warren. In other parts
Of the world this would have COM
plicated affairs, but not in Singapore.
Dumbly he went down to the out

chairs. He fell asleep almost imme-
diately. He was aroused at dawn by
the Chinese scrubs.
Upstairs there was no change. The
nurse slept on cot in the veranda.
while William watched and changed
the Ice packs until nine. The nurse
then relieved him.
He began to consider his finances.
He had thirty-six rupees-about
twelve dollars. Ruth's checks would
be so much waste paper until she
could properly indorse them. II she
died No: God wouldn't do
that! And he had believed that trip

He had only stepped into the ante
room. Twelve dollars! His only hope
lay in the promise Of the consul gen.
eral.
He went back to the annex of the
hotel. where the Offices OF the Ameri-
can consulate were located, and asked
to see the consul general.
HE is away" said the clerk.
when will he be back?"
Il can't say. In a week. maybe:
he may stay a fortnight. The Sultan
Of Johore Is giving a hunting party.
The consul general left rather unex-
pectedly last night. But there is
seldom anything of Importance going
on in Singapore at this time OF the
year."
Seldom anything Of Importance"

quill, but with the immense regret
which slumbers in the soul of so many
spinsters, until Charles Vernot's let
tiers began to disturb her peace Of
mind.
She abandoned herself tenderly to
that correspondence, which. without
obligating her in any way, might
bring little comfort to a poor SOL
der. AS he had never seen her and
probably would never see her, and
would never know how homely she
was, she expressed freely to him all
those charming and delicate feelings
which she had in her heart and which
she had never expressed to anybody
else, for fear of being laughed at.
Sometimes, however. in the midst Of
this Towering Of her soul, she became
suddenly afraid. Suppose he should
arrive some fine morning on leave
or, perhaps, after the war? Suppose
he saw her?
But he never saw her. One day she
received a big envelope, sent under
military frank. as usual. but not
addressed by him. She found in it all

"Mademoiselle, l regret to announce
to you that my comrade, Sergt. Vernot,

without suffering. In accordance with
his desire, send you these letters"
Madeleine read no more. The papers

tears, was lost in thought.
He was dead. He would never see
her He had departed, carrying with
him the illusion of having been loved
by beautiful young girl. And she
retained the treasure of sweet
dream, which no shadow and no de-
ception had furnished. Her unknown
friend would never belong to an
other He had gone. with his aureole
of heroism, and beyond the tomb in
his glory, he would remain hers.
Thanks to him. she had known the
sweetness of loving, of being loved
and of weeping for one dear to her.
Into her lonely life he had cast o
flower and had then passed on. But
that flower would be hers forever. 1t
would never fade.
Madeleine picked up the letters and
got out those which Nernot had writ
ten to her. Having tied them together
with a silk thread and a strand of her
long blond hair, she deposited them,
as in a coffin, in a mahogany box, ex.
haling the discreet perfume of ap an.

A FRENCH WAR STORY

scrawled on the pages of his notebook
in intervals between bayonet attacks
on the 'neighbor opposite"
He was never wounded. The blond
lock against his check seemed to be a
talisman. 1t became, at, the same
time, an obsession. constantly recall
ing the unknown donor, giving him
the illusion of an invisible presence
and the passionate desire to know his
faraway well-wisher. He wrote to
her at the Sainte Odile bureau. with
out any great hope that the letter
would reach its destination.
There are miracles. The letter ar
rived. A still greater miracle hap
pened. He received an answer-mod-
est, reserved, delicate and charming,
like the blue shade Of the muff1er. A
correspondence ensued. into which
each put little OF his or her heart
and fancy and in which, out of the
threads of discreet phrases. was fash
toned the strand of an unavowed love.
When the war is over" Vernot said
to himself. Il shall go back to Paris.
l shall see her. and If she is what
hope she is, shall marry her. Be-
fore knowing her in person 1 shall
have known her in heart and mind"
But inasmuch as a soldier In war
time must be prepared for all event
ualities, he put her letters in an en-
velope which he carried next to his
breast and on which he had written:
IF l am killed, please send this
package to Mile. Madeleine Becker.

form her of my death"
The Alsatian who held the other end
OF the thread-the other end of the
strand of hair-was one of those per-
sons without age. who. it seems, were
never young. Was she twenty or
forty? Or perhaps thirty? Her deli
cate and tender soul was hidden be-
meath body without grace, a face
without charm. having no other
adornment than her blond hair, of a
warm tone which the sun turned to
gold.
Never had any young man lifted his
eyes as Madeleine passed by. She was
one of those who pass unnoticed, who
attract nobody's chances. A well
meaning relative had once asked her
to marry him. because. being an or

old DEER HUNTER
| RECOUNTS EXPLOIT
Kills One Deer anc Wounds Another
AT Distance of 155 Yards With
Old Fashioned "Hog" Rifle.

Mr.. Chadwick's steady aim down
went the deer. When they went
to it they found it dead. shot
just thru the shoulder.
They then looked for the first
deer but could not find it. Mr..
Chadwick was certain he had
struck it with his bullet, and the
blood on the ground told the sto-
ry. They trailed it to pine
thicket, and Mr.. Chadwick, hav-
ing reloaded his rifle with pow
der and ball. a slow process, in
structed his companion to wait
before the part of the thicket
where the deer had gone in,
while he went around to the 9th
err side to head it off in case it
went thru. Taking up his sta
ton on the other side of the
thicket he had not to wait till the
deer came slowly out, ard when
Mr.. Chadwick's gun again spoke
it was dead deer.
Mr.. Chadwick first bullet had
passe thru its head from ear to
ear, which was close shooting for
distance of 155 yards with a
"hog" rifle. But these old guns
were close shooters, when in the
firm grasp of the hunters of fif-
tyayears ago, Mr.. Chadwick is
now close to seventy years old,
and he loves to recount these ex-
ploits of his younger days. Time
was when the woodsman did not
have to go far from home to get
a deer for venison, and Mr.. Chad
wick says that often he has gone
only as far as his back fence
rows and shot a deer before
breakfast. He said that in win
ter when needing meat he would
sally fourth with his rife, shoot
a deer. draw the entrails, bend
down a sapling and fasten the
deer to it and let it swing up out
of the way of varmints, and 60
on and kill other deer, hanging
them up in the same manner, un-
til he had as many as he wanted,
And in his smokehouse was Of
ten seen the sight of three or
four deer hanging there just as a
farmer would hang hogs today.
1t was great times in the woods
then with the trusty hog" rifle,
which was peerless for singing
lead, but hard on the deer.
