But that's only part Of it-and
the whole is quite a yarn.
The date was Sept. 10. 1913.
and the place was Lake Erie.
The American fleet consisted Of
nine vessels, five of them fresh
built of green timber. The Bril-
fish had a similarly poor force.
Flagship of the American
squadron was the Lawrence,
commanded by Master Com
mandant Oliver II. Perry.
The two homemade fleets met
and engaged To the truck of
the Lawrence went the famous
battle flag bearing the inscrip-

small ships soon hauled ahead

remaining gun with his own
hands, rowed in a skiff with his

led the American squadron to
victory.
Then he returned to the hulk
of the Lawrence and received
the swords of the surrendering
British captains.

 Ann's first day in the Temple household was not encouraging: Plunket, the cook, a barrel-shaped woman with z. tiny head and bird- like eyes, plainly resented her presence. Plunket's daughter, Rose, was the parlor maid and waitress; her niece, Beth, was supposed to care for the second floor. The but Ter was Plunket's brother. They formed a solid front and, before evening, had taken on the propor- tions of an enemy battalion to the distracted Ann. Lack of co-opera- tion seemed to be the motto of the battalion and Ann's best efforts met with defeat.
 With the unwilling help of the chauffeur, she rearranged the for- lorn rooms, pulling comfortable chairs forward, placing convent ent tables and lamps near them. She replaced worthless light bulbs, filled bowls with flowers and laid fires.
 This done, she attempted to plan the meals and got exactly mo- where. At 5 in the afternoon weary to the point of exhaustion, she bathed and dressed. At 6 she made MT. Temples highbaH her. self and lighted the fires.

Postage Stamp" War Agreement Expires

FRIENDLY relations between Honduras and Nicaragua will not be affected by the expiration of the "gentleman's agreement" which settled a boundary dispute precipitated by two postage stamps. The two governments re- gently signed a non-aggression pact which eliminates the possi- bility of renewal of the quar- rel.
 Both countries had stamps in- volved in the dispute. In 1885, Honduras issued an airmail show ing the contested territory as part of that nation; but the real trou- ble was caused by Nicaragua's 1887 stamp, above, designating the area as territory in dispute" ." Honduras promptly banned the Nicaraguan issue and Nicaragua retaliated by banning the Hon. duran airmail. Both nations began arming.
 A peace commission composed of arbitrators from United States, Costa Rica and Venezuela brought about a peaceful settlement of the dispute under the agreement just terminated,

Irene said, "Why, Ann Brown-of All people-how are you mixed up in ShiS?"
 MT. Temple went straight to the suitcase. That's It," he shout ed. Lets open 1t, boys, and have a look"
 DO you mind If I sit down?" Ann asked, and Irene pushed chair forward. My legs feel sort of weak"
 "I should think they would Irene turned to her father, T know this girl, Dad. She had nothing to do with the robbery. You didn't, did you, Ann?"
 Gracious, no"
 The men were still in a huddle over the suitcase. John Temple strengthened. "Everything's okay, he said. He strolled across the room to Ann, smiling broadly. well, young lady - let's hear your story"
 The officers departed, Bud look ing over his shoulder at Ann. She said, Good night" and he touched his cap. Two plainclothes men carried the suitcase away. Ann was alone with the Temples m a rather desolate looking room.
 The walls were beautifully dec- orated. the furniture was excel tent, the floor covering thick and rich in color. but there was some thing definitely wrong with the rodrr1. The fireplace was empty and black. There were no flowers, no comfortable litter of magazines and smoking things, the furniture was pushed stiffly against the wllls.
 Mr. Temple sat down. Now tell us about it," he said. Irene dropped to the arm of his chair. The boy-Ann learned later that his name was Blake-stood mood y about.
 Ann related the story. T don't xnow why was so careless in s9king the wrong suitcase" she ended, T always disliked those TWO men, have been Sneaking past shem in the hall for a year. Guess was to anxious to get away"
 "And it's a mighty good thing 10. us tha5 you were" MT. Temple observed heartily.
 T lost everything I own" Ann went on. My clothes and - and -" She stepped, saying quick y, But of course that doesn't matter"
 Blake treasured her. Your stuff is all right. The police found It in those fellows room. Those thugs must have been surprised when they found a girls clothes" He did not smile. His young face was somber and dissatisfied.
 That's fine,' Ann said. and asked, Have they caught the men?" She had a prickly feeling that they were creeping up behind her.
 The boy nodded indifferently. ''They're in the jug"
 Irene had not taken her eyes from Ann's face. T wish some thing exciting would ever happen to me-" she complained.

Second, q boy or girl should seek

Even II an individuals school does
