stamp Profiteerinu Slow.

The lowest Lilliputians in the whole
hierarchy of international finance are
probably the stamp peddlers. There
is hardly a person who was born on
the other side who is not dabbling in
some angle of foreign exchange, but
the stamp men seem willing to oper-
ate on the most fractional margin Of
profit. Up and down the market
streets of the italian sections they go
every Saturday night, displaying
stamps that were made in Italy. They
offer them to shoppers, generally fol-
lowing a boy who sells writing paper.
No doubt they are to encourage early
replies to letters in which they are
inclosed. Occasionally a transaction
involving a half-sheet or so Of stamps
may he seen, so that small amounts
of money may also be sent in this
way to friends on the other side.-New

CHAPTER xII.-cOntinued.


Ramsey looked logged. I'm not
goin' around always arguln' about
everything when arguin' would just
hurt peoples feelings about something
they're all excited about, and wouldn't
do bit O. good in the world-and you
know yourself Just talk hardly ever
settles anything-so l don't
"Aha p Fred cried. II thought so!
Now you listen to me"
II won't. T."
But at this moment they were inter-
rupted. Someone slyly opened a door,
and a SNOWFALL deftly thrown from
without caught Ramsey upon the back
Of the neck and head, where 1t fiat
tened and displayed itself as an orna-
mental star. Shouting fiercely, both
boys sprang up, ran to the door, were
caught there in a barrage Of snowballs,
ducked through it in spite of all dam
age, charged upon a dozen besweatered
figures awaiting them and began a mad
battle In the blizzard. Some of their
opponents treacherously joined them
and turned upon the ambushers.
In the dusk the merry conflict
waged up and down the snow-covered
lawn, and the combatants threw and
threw, or surged back and forth, or
clenched and toppled over into snow
banks, yet all coming to chant an ex-
temporized battle-cry in chorus, even
as they fought the most wildly.
'Who? Who? Who?" they chanted.
"Who? Who? Who says there amt
goin' to be no WARP"

wouldn't mind. I'll miss these walks

He chuckled. That's funnyp
"Why?"
Because we've only taken four be
sides this: two last year, and another

"Good gracious! Is that all? 1t
seemed to me we'd gone ever so
often!" She laughed. "I'm afraid you
won't think that seems much as If I'd
liked going, but I really have. And,
by the way, you've never called on me
at all. Perhaps it's because I've for
gotten to ask you"
ooh, no." Ramsey said, and scuffed
his shoes on the path, presently ex-
planning rather huskily that he never
was much of a caller; and he added,
cor anything"
swell, you must come if you ever
care to-" she said, with a big-sister
graciousness. 1.-THE Dorm chaperon

one and you'd like her. You've prob
ably met her-Mrs. Hastings

much of a 49," He paused, fearing
that he might be repeating himself,
and too hastily amended his intention.

and call on her"

''Why, when we were in school half
the room used to be talking about how

"No, mol" Ramsey protested, again
too hurriedly. Il never called on her.
We just went walking"
A moment later his color suddenly
became fiery. ST don't meant mean

of coufse-I mean we did go out walk
ing, but it wasn't walking like-ike
this" He concluded with a fit Of
coughing which seemed to rack him.
Dora threw back her head and
laughed delightedly. Don't you apollo

A Soldiers Honor.

The memory of the soldier Maillet,
who was sentenced in 1915 to death In
contumaciam for having deserted to
the enemy, has now definitely been
cleared Of all stain by the Mourges
Military tribunal. Maillet's case was
pathetic. He fell in battle and his body
was afterward identified among others
buried at Auberive on the Marine. On
hearing that her husband was a de-
serter Maillet's wife died Of grief and
her two orphan boys were taken care
of by their grandfather. The COM
mune of Checy, his native village,
now lays claim to the honor of pay
ing for their upkeep.

The recent minor reaetionsry move

due 20 efforts Of traders 20 take sd-

changes checked temporarily at least,

easier yesterday.
