came heard as the thunder of q million
feet upon the training grounds. The

these time-worn, fiaccid things leaped
suddenly into living color. The flag
became brilliant and strange to see
strange with meaning that seemed
new, meaning long known, yet never
known till now.
And so hearts that thought they
knew themselves came upon ambushes
of emotion and hidden indwellings of
spirit not guessed before. Dora Yo-
cum, listening to the "Star-Spangled
Banner sung by children Of imml-
grants to an out-of-tune old piano in
a mission clubroom, In Chicago found
herself crying with a soul-shaking
henrtiness In a way different from 9TH
err ways that she had cried. Among
the many things she thought Of then
was this: That the banner the chill
dren were singing about was In dan.
ger The great country, almost O con-
tinent, had always seemed so untouch-
able. so safe and sure; she had never
been able to conceive OF d hostile
power mighty enough to shake or even
lar n. And since so great and funda-
mental thing could not be injured, a
war for its defense had appeared to
be, in her eyes. not only wicked but
ridiculous. At last, less and less
vaguely, she had come to comprehend
something Of the colossal German
threat and the shadow that touched
this bright banner of which the immi-
grants children piped so briskly In the

Sad browning Accident at Fairfield

Fairfield, June 1.-THE second drown
yesterday afternoon about two o'clock
when Miss Rachel Lowe was drowned
off Days Point. at the lower end of
Bunker Island. Miss Lowe, in COM
pany with Miss Areta McKinnon went
to the island to go in swimming. Miss
Leone Harrington and Miss Faye
Keene, who live on the island knew
that the water was high and the cur
rent swift, so they went down to warn
them When they reached the bank
Miss McKnnon had lost her footing
and gone out into the current. The
girls on the shore rushed to the home

Reta had drifted down the river
some distance, but they worked their
way to her and when only a few feet
away, she went down, and did not
come up again.
But 1t was not Reta who was the
unfortunate one, for Rachel had gone
to her assistance and got her ashore,
but was not able to keep her hold
on her and was carried back into the
current.
The affair is a particular sad one,
as Miss Lowe was a member OF the
Junior class OF Lawrence high
school. The Junior Reading was to

A long while Dora sat with the let

and took 1t upon her heart to wear.
That was the place for 1t, since 1t was
already within her heart, where he
would find 1t when he came home
again. And she beheld the revelation
sent to her. This ordinary life OF Ram
sey's was but the outward glintlng OF
a high and splendid spirit, as high and
splendid as earth can show, And yet
1t was only the life of an everyday
American boy. The streets OF the
town were full, now, of boys like Ram

At first they were just boys I'm uni
