 "Pm going away" the boy said, in rather mournful tone.
 T hate to have you go. just love to know you're here, if don't see you. Only wish you was older and knew mOre." s, E N.E-
 There was half moment of silence. She ended it by saying:
 Ann and I are going to the spelling school tonight"
 "Can go with you?" t-.
 Could you stand 1t to be talked to and scolded by a couple of girls till you didn't care what happened to you?"

 "I won't. Does she love him?'
 "Devotedly; but she wouldn't let him know it-not yet. I reckon he'll be plumb anxious before she owns up. But she truly loves him. She'd die for him."
 Girls are awful curious-nobody can tell what they mean," said Harry.
 Sometimes they don't know what they mean themselves. Often I say something or do something and won der and wonder what it means. Did you ever ride horse sitting backwards when you're going one way and look ing another and you don't know what's comingT she asked.
 "What's behind you Is before you and the faster you go the more danger you're i'm" Harry laughed.
 Isn't that the way we have to travel in this world, whether we're going to love or to mill?" the girl ask ed, with sigh. We cannot tell what is ahead. We see only what Is behind us. It is very sad" A
 Harry looked at Bim. He saw the tragic truth of the words and suddenly her face was like them. Unconscious ly in the midst of her playful talk this thing had fallen. He did not know what to make of 1t.

how to snow It. He's never told her. I reckon he's mighty good, but he don't know how to love girl. Did you ever see an elephant talking with a cricl-- et?" @ ,-.. .....- ..
 "Not as I remember" said Harry.
 "I never did myself, but if I did, I'm sure they'd both look very tired. It would be still harder for an elephant to be engaged to a cricket. I don't . reckon the elephants love would fit the cricket or that they'd ever be able to agree on what they'd talk about. It's some that way with Abe and Ann. She is small and spry; he Is slow and high. She'd need a ladder to get up to his face, and I just tell you it ain't purity when ye get there. She ain't got a chance to love him."
 T love him." said Harry. q think he's a wonderful man. I'd fight for him till I died. John McNeil is noth- ing but a grasshopper compared to him."
 That's about what my father says" Bim answered. "I love Abe, too and so does Ann, but 1t ain't the hope to die, marvin love. It's like a mans love for man or a woman's love for a woman. John McNeil is handsome he's just plumb handsome, and smart, too. He's bought a big farm and is going into the grocery business. MT. Rutledge says he'll be a rich man."
 "I shouldn't wonder. Is he going to the spelling school?"
 "No, he went off to Richland today with my father to join the company. They're going to fight the Injuns, too."
 The shell sounded for dinner. Bim started for the road at a gallop, way ing her hand. He unhitched his team and followed it slowly across the black furrows toward the barn.
 He did not go to the spelling school. Abe came at seven and said that he and Harry would have to walk to Springfield that night and get their equipment and take the stage in the morning. Abe said if they started right away they could get to the Globe tavern by midnight. In the hurry and excitement Harry forgot the spelling school. To Bim 1t was tragic thing. Before he went to bed that night he wrote letter to her.

"GLoRY" OF WAR RIDICULOUS
Chaplain Who Was With the British Forces in France Makes Some
 Pertinent Observations.

Making boots is more glorious than killing men, asserts the Rev. Studdert Kennedy the liberal English clergyman who was known to the British forces during the war as "Woodbine Willie" "a designation he has since used as a nom de plume. Mir. Kennedy, says the Literary Digest, who was an army chaplain, came out of the war with shocked conscience and new convic- tions, and his sympathy has been with Tommy Atkins as he Is at home, fight ing a different fight now that the war Is over. When he read the words, "The Glorious Dead" on the cenotaph in London, MT. Kennedy said he felt somewhat bitterly about 1t, because there is such danger of missing the real meaning of their glory" There is something wrong when a man is called glorious because he wears kha- ki, and a "bolshy" and a selfish schemer because he wears overalls. AS the Challenge Uondon) quotes him from a recent sermon, the former army chaplain declares that many per sons who were willing to sweep floors for Tommy, spit fire at the working man. Yet they are the same man. We call going into the army going in- to the service Don't you go into the service when you make boots? It is more glorious to work as a shoe cobbler than to kill men? he argues. But a man makes good boots for 30 years, brings up his family decently, and-gets the sack. Who thinks about his glory?" Much talk about military courage is stupid sentimentality," says MT. Kennedy for-
 "A great deal of the courage in bat tie is not Of the highest order at all. What we want today is the courage of moral conviction. I don't want to detract for a moment from the bravery of our men. I love them. But it was a great deal easier to face death In battle than 1t is to face ridicule in civil life. To suppose that all men died glorious deaths is sheer send- mentality. I have seen them shiver- ing with fright like trapped rabbits. Nothing will cover up the fact that war Is degrading, dirty, filthy busi- ness. We must simply refuse to be bamboozled by shams."

Judge Mayer Modifies Order
of Dissolution, Made
in 1918.

The New York. New Haven and Hart
resentation in the directorate of the
Boston and Maine Railroad when Judge
Julius NJ Mayer. in the United States
District Court, modified the dissolution
order of October, 1918. Under the 1919
order the New Haven was required to
separate itself entirely from the Bos-
ton and Maine. and at the time of that
order it held 81 per cent. of the stock
in the latter road. Attorney General
Daugherty came to New York and APP
peared as a special witness in the case.
Under the new modification order the
New Haven road may name five di-
rectors for election to the board of the
Boston and Maine. The New Haven's
present stockholding interest in the
Boston and Maine amounts to % per
cent. At the time of the 1918 decree
the stock held by the New Haven was
turned over to trustees appointed by
the court.
Attorney General Daugherty urged
the granting of the New Ravens APP
pication and announced the policy
OF the Department of Justice to be
one of "minding its own business"
He stated that he had a pronounced
opinoin OF what his own action would
have been with respect 10 the filing
of the original antitrust law complaint
against the New Haven. In the pres
ent action. however he said he was
not thinking of the "duress and preju-
dice" which resulted in the consent of
the New Haven being given to the
dissolution decree. He stated also that
the present policy of the Government
is merely to exercise the necessary
supervisory authority"
A meeting of the stockholders of the
Boston and Maine will take place on
Tuesday and the order signed by Judge
Mayer assumes considerable Importance.
as new directorate is to be elected at
that meeting. Officials of the New
Haven who appeared before Judge
Mayer yesterday alleged that there was
an effort being made by the holders of
the preferred stock in the Boston and
Maine to bring the New York Central

that conferences had been held with
A. II. Smith, president of the New York
Central to bring this about.
