A Study of Rats.

A careful student Of the rodent
tribe writes: NO single point bet
ter illustrates the sagacity of the
rat than the way in which it ears
an cgG. 1t bites through the she'll
and chips off small fragments as
neatly as a squirrel opens a nut,
consumes the entire contents with
out splitting a drop and then sits
up and ticks itself clean like a cat.
Rats will steal the eggs from I'M
der a setting hen. Their method
of handling eggs is also character
istic. An egg is as large for a
rat as a barrel is for man, and
much moro fragile. Yet there is
evidence of the fact that they pass
eggs along from one TO another
although not probably. as has often
been reported, by forming long
lines. like A bucket brigade. The
operation is naturally a difficult
one to observe. but apparently il
takes two rats to each egg. One
holds the egg in its paws, passes
il on TO the other. and then runs
ahead to take it once more in its
turn The same device seems to
be employed to carry an egg down
stairs, the one that has the egg
passing it to a companion stand
ing on the step below.

Women and the Loan

They used TO say that business,
women couldn't saYe-that every
cent above actuaI living expenses
of food and shelter went into
clothes. trying TO I've up to the
standard of dressing that was set
by more well-to-dO women. But
it was astonishing now, with the
right kind of impetus. girls all
over did save for the Liberty loan.
Some of them, perhaps Injured tc
the practice of dispensing with
lunches when new dress was the
object, pursued the same tactics TO
make their Liberty Loan subscrip:
ton. But for the most part work
ing women all over have taken the
lesson of wise saving out of the ef-
fort to subscribe for Government
loans. They've cut down on super
fluous extrayagancCs. They've laid
aside one or more dollars a we=S
for Liberty loans-and never missed
the money!
Subscribing to the Victory Loan
isn't a contribution. It's a sound in
yestment 1t not only is a profit
able way of placing whatever money
she saves from her income, but 1t
gets the business woman into the
habit of saving and selecting wise
investments for her money.
OF course, the business woman
is quickest to realize that generous
subscription to the Victory Loan IS
as great a necessity now as the
subscriptions to the earliest loans.
The war is practically won. But
the expenses of achieving the vic
tory are still with us.
The sacEitCeS made by men who
have come back partially helpless,
by women who have relinquished
their men and bravely stayed back
to face loneliness without allevia-
tion-these things cannot be paid
for, but by means of. a generous
subscription to the Victory Loan al
least We can sec that such material
relief as is humanity possible -
given promptly to these heroes.
The Victory Loan should be par
ticipated in by business women
more overwhelmingly than amy
other of the war loans. They. have
made sacrifices to subscribe gen
crously to the previous loans-this
is the most cheerful of all the debts
we can pay to Uncle Sam. The
business woman should be magnIfi-

Marriage by Force.

The courtship and marriage Gus
toms among the Greenlanders were,
% early times, simple and Uncere-
uonious. When a lovelorn youth
Ssde up his mind as TO the girl he
->anted to adorn and be useful in
lis hut OF ice or snow, he went TO
her house and dragged her forcibly
10 his own domain, where she was
expected TO stay without any fur
Their marriage ceremony.
u an affluent bridegroom, he
would perhaps soothe her lacerated
feeling by presenting her with a
new lamp or some other article OF
household utility. No matter how
willing and even eager the bride
was to marry q young man, Eski-
mo etiquette demanded that she
should resist every attempt to drag
her TO her new home, and she must
weep and vail bitterly openly while
there. Indeed, she must continue to
weep and wall for some days, run
10 her own home, only TO be drag
Eed back again.
It is said that this extremely sim
rle marriage ceremony IS the only
one still in use on the cast coast
Of Greenland, and the laws govern
ing the divorce are as informal as
the laws Of marriage.

Him to Let Her Know

ct wasn't Neal" I declared again
to still my own doubts.
After aIl-could it be Neal? Nir-
ginia-Jims beloved sister-had
flung back at Neal the. circlet OF
diamonds the bow had given
Phoebe as token of his love before
he went off to The last of the
training camps. He had gone with
every high thought of service
abroad; he had given our mothers
ring to Phoebe as a sign OF his
love-a betrothal - and Virginia
had flung it back at him.
She had bruised him, taken from
him Phoebe's pledge. Jim
was Virginia's only and beloved
brother. even as Neal was mine.
1t was Virginia who had enlisted
TeTry's aid at the time Jim so
sorely needed woTk-so it was Nir-
ginia who had really brought about
the whole Norreys situation. Thus
my mind reasoned, but my heart re-
jected it.

at wasn't Neal" I declared again,
firmly this time. He wouldn't do
such a thing out of a revengeful
spirit-and he wouldn't just let it
slip accidentally. 1t wasn't Neal.
Id sooner suspect-Virginia." Be
fore 1 could add what was on the
tip of my tongue, "And ! don't sus-
pect Virginia." Jim whirled on me.
"Jeanie again. he cried. Cant
you leave her alone? After all,
she's the one. person who under
stands me-the one human being
whose love doesn't seem to bring
me misery"
"Jim-Jim, don't say that. You
don't mean it. You don't" I cried
with tears standing hot and burn
ing at the brim of my eyelids. "of
course, don't think it was-Jeanie.
But you shan't say she's the only
one who understands you.
Only last night, dear. we found
each other again. After all our
disagreements, we came home TO
each other again-and knew that
we belong to each other. Isn't
there enough faith to make that
love worth something"
Faith? When you've lied to me?
Faith? When the very money
we're living on was earned through
one OF your lies?'' stormed Jim.
I got up and went to his side.
7 laid my hand or his arm.
"Jim-will you sit down and
listen to me-" 1 asked.
He threw of my hand and limp
ed to a chair on the far side Of the
room. There he sat with chin
thrust forward aggressively, so I
knew his throat must be taut, as
ViTginia's white throat always be-
came when she was at high ten

He Has a Title and Estates.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAN:
l am nineteen and belong 70 a good
family. I am deeply in love with q
man of forty-hVe, OF foreign birth,
who, owing TO home troubles, came TO
this country under an assumed name.
He is the son OF an English nobleman
OF high rank and will. after the death
Of his father, return to his home and
take the title and estates which are
his by law. ] am the only one except
a lawyer who represents him in this
country, who knows his secret. He is
highly educated and appears to be very
fond OF me. Do you think il is right
for me 10 encourage him?
ANXIOUS.
! think il would be highly risky
for you to think of marrying this
man without thoroughly investti-
eating his record. Numbers of girls
have been deceived by imposters
claiming TO have prospective TITLES
and estates and who have proved
to be thoroughly discredited men.

IN an agony Of denial.

Not Terry-for Jim had wanted to

in order to verify some part OF his

not poor Betty. And that left

A clergyman while passing
through a street in Edinburgh came
upon a rouEh-looking and gigantic
goldman who was persuadinG his
horse 10 move along more expedl-
uously. The horse had taken a
stubborn fit, and the goldman was
very excited and COUGHING his SEN
timents in language which was
simply appalling.
The clergyman was little man,
but rash. for he rebuked the coal
man in a manner that left absolute
IL nothing TO be desired.
II cannot understand" he said, in
winding up his eXpostulation. what
YOU mean by using such narrowing
expressions"
The rebuke was lost upon the
goldman.

same time patting the clergyman

hand, neither could l understand

There was no rejoindcr, and the

.Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

~F COURSE, a dog can run
. faster than a pig, and very
~ soon Tom Thumb was far
ahead Of Puss Junior, who, never
theless, kept urging on his fat
steed. The queer little man watch
ed them until they disappeared;
then he went into his house.
Now the dog every once in =
while put his nose to the ground so
as not to lose the trail.
DO you think you can find the
little maid?' asked Tom Thumb.
Leave that TO me-" replied the
dog, and he kept on at a good rate.
Some distance behind them Tom
could hear the pig painting and
grunting as he tried to keep up.
Are you all right?' Tom THUMB
called back to Puss Junior. why
don't you ask me-" said the pig.
I'm the one that's doing all the
work"
Suddenly the dog turned up
lane and then stopped at the door OF
A pretty little white house, and as
soon as Puss Junior arrived on mis-
pig they both dismounted and
knocked on the door.
The door opened and the light OF
the lamp on the table shone upon
4 funny little old woman. What
do YOU wish, my dears?" she asked,
looking at Puss Junior and little
Tom Thumb.
We've come to fetch the little
maid who lives with the queer little
old man who's candle always goes
,ut.7 said Puss Junior. And just
then a sweet voice from another
room called out: Tell them to wait,
Grandmother, please; I'll be out in
a minute" So the old lady asked
them in, but Puss said. I'm afraid,
ma'am, to leave the pig; he might
run off" And then Tom said: I'm
afraid my dog might run away,
100" So the old lady left the door
open TO make things more cheer
full, as il was growing very dark
and gloomy outside.
And when the little maid ap-
peared the dog barked and the pig
SFunted, and after that they ali
started off for the little maids
home. And pretty soon she looked
I'D TO the sky and commenced TO
sing in a low voice:
81 have a little sister; they call her
Peep, Peep;
She vadcs the water, deep, deep,
deep;
She climbs the mountains, high,
high, high.
Poor little thing, She has but one
eye
she's talking about that bright
star" said Puss Junior. And the
dog barked and the pig grunted,
as If to say, You are right, Mr..
PUss Junior"
