Why Katie "Fired Herself.

Katie's course from the door OF the
restaurant kitchen to my chair was
as direct at that OF an arrow shot
from n bow.
She paid no more heed to the little
waiter seated upon the floor with the
broken dishes of his tray scattered
around him than she did to the out
ragged proprietor. who. at her tempes-
tuous entrance. had left his scat at
the desk in the front and rushed to-
ward our table.

Rv this time Katie was clinging To
me. much To my embarrassment
grooming over me. her fingers gingerly
exploring my bruised forehead. She
royally ignored the protesting pro-
prietor. presenting an uncompromis-
ing back TO him.
"Oh. vot happened to you. my dear

"No. Katie. am all right now

TO maintain justice and liberty for
the world" said NJ. LOucheur. "For
nearly five years her richest provinces
have endured continual martyrdom.
And yet by her own means the ruins
are reviying. houses arise from the
ground. fields are covered with promis-
Ing crops. The populations of the
devastated areas believe that they can
rely on the spirit OF solidarity OF all
those who have measured the magnl-
tude OF their sacrifice and under
stood their unquestionable right TO the
fullest reparations."
