"Indeéd I will! ry, ma'am," Mrs, understood how Crawford had soon matters were; had to having his wife work, even though it made him more comfortable, Mr. Mandel was waiting at the sta- tion, "Just on time!" he said pleasantly, as he took her bag and helped her into the train. He had two seats in the parlor car, on the shady side and both of them. His own luggage also had been placed in the car before her arrival "Phis is comfortable," Ruth' said sank back in the chair, and the porter in response to a motion from Mr Mandel, brought her a has- "Travelling is hard enough at any time and under all circumstances, I believe in being as comfortable as and don't you wor-| DEL. sock for her feet, possible," he returned, then picked up a magazine and was soon buried in its contents. Ruth was -thankful she did not have to talk. Her mind was full of her own affairs. She could not for- get that gasp she had heard when she first told Brian she was going away, and she felt decidedly uneasy as to what he would say on her re- turn, He would be terribly put out, that she knew--perhaps angry. But he would have nearly two days to think it over. Perhaps he would be sensible and not be so angry as she feared. With an unconscious sigh at his lack of sympathy in her venture, she also picked up a magazine, She had failed to notice the sharp glance Mr. Mandel gave her when he heard that sigh. Neither spoke announced, Then he laid aside magazine and said: "Suppose we go right in. 1 re- served a table, and the food will be better if we go at once." Ruth rose obediently. She had travelled so little, was really unfa- miliar with dining cars to such an extent, that she, like a child, consid- ered it a treat to eat in one She ordered a very simple lunch- eon, which he insisted upon supple- menting with a dish or two, until luncheon was his "You will find your appetite when you commence to eat," he told her. "One always does when travelling." Luncheon finished, Mr. Mandel went into the smoking car and did not reappear for an hour. He had chatted pleasantly through luncheon, not mentioning business, and so pre- venting Ruth from doing so, although there were 'several things in connec- tion with their errand to Newport she would have liked to discuss, "Perhaps he doesn't believe in talk- ing business when he's away from the A ------------------ A At a TALKING "IT would not care to handle boys in France who were not getting lét- ters" that was the burden of Ms lecs ture. And he was in a position to know... He had lead men for two years out there, until twice wounded and gassed, he was rendered unfit for further service. Since that he has spent his time saying just this "Write letters.' He deseribed the entrance into Langemarck after the tide of poison gas has swept over it; of men lying i dead with their throats torn open in their last frean- zied effort to breath; of a little child jammed through a window pane and left to wriggle out its little life there; of the ghastly green pallor which made the faces of the dead seem like the phantasmagoria of a horrible dream; of ravished women gone insane; of the aged reduced to jibbering lun- acy; wild horrors of war out running the power of words to describe or imagination to conjure. ~~ With Lorna Moon IT OVER The Letter Which Keeps Him Sane. cold' night, about, and to banquet He told of the 'long while the rats scamper the *'cooties" that' begin whe one wants to sleep; of the grey moraing, and the word to attack, of .the thoughts-that pass through the mind of the soldier, as he stands one foot up on ibe trdnchiside and a band graspitig! the peg really to spring over at the word of command; of hig thoughts when he is hit, and and he is left out there, net daring to signal for help lest a Hun sharps shooter see and end it for him, Stretcher bearers at last! Thank Jod! Then rest, a clean bed, a quiet ward and a woman's voice, Heaven again! But before a 'blighty' wound leads him back to quiet he must have letters. Letters that tell the simple homelike things. They keep him sane. As he passes through the mad- ness of war, he must constantly be reminded of of home, lest forgetting that exist, he also go mad. This is no surmise, reader of mine. This is a fact proven by the countries which have been in war much lon- ger than we--the men who fill the military asylums for insane are the men who did not receive letters. they Ponder that fact, and neglect to write to your soldier if you dare! - School ; Girls' Nerves 'When an undue amount of nervous energy is con- sumed in the brain there is bound to be failure of the other functions of the body.

It may be interesting' to know that the author, a Montrealer, is, through his father, the late Francis Stuart Douglas Thomson, of Dun- fermline and Montreal, distinetly re- lated to Thomson who wrote "Rule Britannia."

So she content- ed herself with reading the maga- rines he had provided and in looking out of the window She never had been east of New York and so was interested in all she saw. After Mr. Mandel returned from the smoking car, she asked a question which proved her unfamiliarity with the country through which they were passing. "Have you never port?' he asked. "No, I never have been much of anywhere," she confessed naively. "Aunt Louisa didn't much believe in girls leaving home. I reckon thought it wasn't good for them, She and 1 visited New~ York once before 1 was married, and we, my husband and I, stayed at Atlantic City for a while. You see I am not much of a traveller." "So I see!" he replied, looking at her with an added interest. It was wonderful that this delicately nur- tured southern girl, who still "reck- oned" when she talked, should have become so proficient in an art to which he had given many years' hard study. From that time until they reached the end of their journey, he pointed out all places of interest they passed, giving her a little sketch of that part of the country at the same time. "You will revel in New 'England homes," he said explaining that, as one went further east, the homes] were still filled, with gems of old-fash-| joned furniture; chippendale chairs, and windsor tables and cabinets, In fact he made himself so entertaining that Ruth was almost sorry when they reached Newport, and she bade him good-night in the hotel to follow the boy to the room reserved for her, To-morrow Famous Ocean Time, been to New- Ruth Drive Sees Newport's for the Kir st | A AY Putnam's Extractor Rids Your Feet Of Sore Corns No substitute has ever been devis- ed that gives the quick, painless re- sults you get from Putnam's Painless (Corn and.

Trinidad, too, and the whole of the British West Indies, is abstaining from use of imported goods. This has caused the population to change its whole menu, for many foodstulfs were for merly imported. Now the people eat home-grown plants that only the ani- mals ate before. They like the new diet so well they say they will never again import any staple food except cornmel. Sendai Little Profit in Salt. A recent investigation by the bu- rean of mines proves that a salt fam- ine in the United States !s unlikely, says the Popular Science Monthly, At the same time it was established that owing to the low price of salt and the abundance of its supply there is but Httle profit in the salt industry, al though the American salt works have supplied in recent years practically all the salt consumed in the United Stotes.
