Vermont's two institutions for care
Of tuberculosis patients are now filled
to their capacity, with waiting lists of
those needing to get the benefit OF the
instruction and treatment there af-
forded. Under such conditions, it does
not seem probable that Vermont can
afford to reduce anything whatever in
the outlay for the upkeep and mainte-
nance of these institutions. If pos
sible, there should be further out
lay to make possible the extension of
the splendid work.

So far as action was reported in the
press of the state, not single town
meeting in Vermont was shown to be in
favor Of the present speed in state ex-

large number of towns put themselves
on record in favor of reduced state ex-
pcnditures. That ought to be a good
platform on which to elect town repre-
sentatives.

A Very Easy
System

One Of our patrons has tried several
plans for keeping record of all his income
and expense during the year-but he has
found all of them lot of trouble to keep
up-to-date.
But ne has fine system now.
The bank is keeping this record for him.
He deposits all his earnings in the bank and
then he writes checks for all the money he
spends. Even for his pocket money he
writes check once in while and marks
it mise. Exp"
When he wants to know the amount Of
his income he looks at his handbook.
When he wants to find out what he is
spending, he looks over his Cancelled
Checks. BY sorting these old checks into
several piles he finds what he is spending
for food, clothing, fuel etc.
That plan is easy. 1t is safe and business

Presently he settled himself
down and we began talking. He's

didn't talk about the war. He talked
a lot about the effect of the war on
people and on institutions, and that

Tell you one thing, though, just

talked about how sickened he was

in this war, is passing through the

ing to emerge with higher, nobler,

he put out his hand and squeezed
Sabre's in his intensely friendly grip;
and destiny put out its hand and
added another and vital hour to
Sabres ultimate encounter with life.

His leave ended with the one thing
utterly unexpected and flagrantly
impossible.
Arriving in London about nine,
he stood on a street refuge to let by
cab coming out of the station. AS
1t passed he saw its occupants-two
women; and one saw him-Nona! OF
all incredible things, Mona!
She stopped the cab and he hur-
ried after it.

On the following morning he
crossed to France, there to take up
again that strange identity in whose
occupancy his own self was held in
allegiance, waiting his return. Seven
months passed before he returned
to that waiting identity and he re-
sumed it then permanently-done
with the war. The tremendous fight
ing of 1917-his participation in the
war--his tenancy of the strange per-
sonality caught up in the enormous
machinery of it attended for him in
the great break through of the Hin

CHAPTER /.
Said Hapgood-that garrulous
Hapgood, solicitor, who first in
this book spoke of Sabre to a
mutual friend-said Hapgood, seated
in the comfortable study of his fiat,
to that same friend, staying the
night:
Well, now, old man, about Sabre.
Well, tell you it's a funny business
"a dashed funny business, the posi-
ton old Puzzlehead Sabre has got
himself into.
Look here, this is April, April
1918. Well, old Sabre got knocked
out in France just about five months
ago, back in November He copied
it twice-shoulder and knee. Shout
der nothing much; knee pretty bad.
Thought they'd have to take his leg
off one time. Thought better of il,
thanks be; patched him up; dis
charged him from the army; and
sent him hOme-very groggy, only
just able to put the bad leg to the
ground, crutches, and going to be a
stick and a bit of limp all his life.
VERY well. That's as he was when
first saw him again. That was back
in February. Early in February,
two months ago. There was good
old me down in Tidborough on bust
ness-and remembering about Old
Sabre having been wounded and dis
charged, blew into Fortune, East and
Sabre's for news of him.
"Of course, he wasn't there. Saw
old Fortune and the man Twyning,
and found them in regard to Sabre
about as genial and communicative
as maiden aunt over a married
sisters new dress. Sort of handed
out the impression that he'd been out
of the business so long that really
they weren't much in touch with his
doings. Rather rotten, ] thought it,
seeing that the pocr beggar had
done his bit in the war and done it
pretty thoroughly, too.
Well, | hoped it over on the rail-
way and walked down to old Sabre's.
Found him bit down the road from
his house trying out this game leg
of his. By Jove, he was no end
bucked to see me. And talk! He
simply jabbered. | said, by Jove.
Sabre, one would think you hadn't
met anyone for a month the way
you're unbelting the sacred rites Of
welcome He laughed and said,
Well, you see, Pm a bit tied to a
post with this leg of mine
H.
well, old Sabre took me into a
room on the ground floor where
they'd put up bed for him, him not
being able to do the stairs, of course.
