“Where's Butler gone with that girl?”
“For a walk, I guess,” his wife re
plied,
“It's time they waw hak”™ he
grumbled.
“What do you care? his wife rea
soned, gently. “Don’t bother so much
about things, pa. It's not good for
you.”
“it's easy enough for you to say,
‘Don’'t bother,’” he retored. “You
don’t need to bother. You don’t have
to work the way I do ®n another
man’s place and get no credit. Well,
it's coming to an end now."
His wife looked up eagerly., *“You
mean,” she said, “that you're going
to give up the farm, or”- as he shook
his head-—"what do you mean?"
“l mean I'm going to buy the place
my?elt If it’s possible,” he sald. 'T've
told yvou all slong that 1 meant to.
Now I've about got it scttled.”
She could not answer immediately.
When she did shie gave no slgn of the
disappointment that was tugging at
her heart-strings.
She was thinking of this now as
she got supper for Butler and Eliza
beth,
She had always hoped against hopa
that Amos would change his mind
and move to town--preferably Chi
cago, where she could be near Clif
ford as long as she lived, Now that
was out of the question. Her hus
AA A Y
band had, in some way that was mys
tefious to her, secured the money
with which to buy the farm. He and
she would probably end their days
here,
Well, she must try to bear her lot
cheerfully, and not to think about it
now. The duty of this minute was to
call the younge people to supper. 1f
pa would only let that young man go
and “wash up!”
She started across the hall to sum
mon KEilizabeth. As she did so her
husband's exclted volee reached her
ears, At the same moment Kliza«
beth’s door opened, and the girl hur
ried down the stalrs.
“Oh, Mrs. Cnapin;” she gasped.
“What Is the matter in there? What
can they be saying? Then, as the
matron ocaught her hand nervously
“Mr. Chapin must be very angry —he
must-——»"
She got no further, for the sound
of & shot rang through the house.
Pushing past the terrifled woman
who tried to détain her, Elizabeth
rushed to the small room back of the
parlor. Opening the door, she stopped
short on the threshold,
In the center of the room stood
John Butler, as white as death. At
his feet lay the body of Amos Chapin,
blood oozing from a bullet wound in
his temple.

OU'VE counted upon the fingers of your hand, and the other one,
Y and back into the first one again (there are so many of them),
the Allied armies, with a grand, fine swelling of the heart, be
canse they are so many. White and Black, and Yellow, and Red, and
Brown, welded together, to wipe out the direct descendant of Attila and
his barbarians! The Black, the Yellow, the Red, the Brown, have lined
themselvés on the side of civilization and fair play. The shock-headed
Fiji Islanders have written themselves down civilized enemies to the
wild-man Hun.
But there are subtler armies in the field. The man with his hand
in his pocket at home, the sweating riveter, the girl who winds bandages
and mends endiess clothes for soldier and foreign baby-—in this, my
little townu of New Rochelle girl-and-women hands turned out twenty
thousand garments for French and Belgian children; some cleaned and
mended from used ones and the rest brand-new, in a little over a week!-—
the man and the woman on the farm; the minister: the artist; the man
with the gift of words on a golden pen; from the greatest high one in
the land to the Mttlest low one: we're all in one army or anocther, back-
Ing our boys up with every hit of the good and endurance in ns.
And here's another army-—it goes Into the fleld in a folding leather
case under the tan blguse over a million soldier-hearts. And it helps
him thrash the Hun. It's a feminine army—of old faces and young—
they face one another mostlyl from the two sides of the case when a
fellow opens it to look,
They are warm pivals—his mother and his sweetheart—rivals in
loving him-—helping him to stand in sunshine and remember that there
Is laughter and love waiting for him-—rivals in willing him to victory—
rivals in gifts and letters and the “cheer” ecall across the sea—friendly
rivals! They ‘uy rivalry in an army makes for efficiency!

Pass Your Ideas |
HELP OTHERS WITH TEWEEHEREN gt
By Dr. Wm. A, McKeever,
One of the Nation's Best Known So
| ciological Writers.
| HERE are thousands of parents
T among the readers of my arti
cles who possess in the aggre
gate as many perfectly good and
helpful ideas about child eulture. Why
not pass these on to me in order that
I might place them before many oth
or thousands? ;
The best life s a game of give
and-take. The successful teacher is
helped by her pupfls, the able speaker
I 8 inspired by his audlence, the wide
awake parent learns as much from
his children as they do from him. So
the helpful writer on the problems of
young humanity must depend for his
matertnls‘upon those who struggle
with these problems and so discover
ways of solving them.
. And now, dear parent, why shoud)
you take it all and give back none?
Do you not count one? Wisdom re
garding the child comes not neces
sarily from the genius and the schol
ar, the wise and the prudent, the per
gon of any supposedly high or special
caste, but is born only of experience.
If you are dealing constantly with a
child, you are quite as likely to stum
ble upon a valuable idea or method as
any other person. Ideas are not sim.
ply thought out: they are found out.
[deas in your own fleld of endeavor
are almost, if not quite, your great
est asset. Shey freshen you, renew
you, stimulate you to go on with your
work.
So with myself. I am hungry for
ideas about child rearing. Not in a
thousand ycars to come will the whole
truth about the human young be re
vealed to the living, Doubts, mys
teries and misgivings will continue to
baffle the minds of the wisest of men“
and women as they continue to try '“1
fathom the depths of the manifold
nature of the ordinary child. l
Wherefore, considering in its en
tirety this never-ending problem ot
’hflnmng up the next mmdon.‘
where shall wisdom be found and
where 1s the place of understand
ing? Wisdom is to be found In the
patient trial and error of ten thou
sand devoted caretakers of the youug,
and the place of understanding 1s lo
cated in as many good parentw'
hearts, warm with affection for the'
little ones. But how may we bring !
‘all this mass of scattered wisdom to- |
wether, and how summon all this se
cret understanding into one great
united body of truth? Indeed, it Il’
precigely that question which I am |
here trying partly to answer. ‘
And, moreover, when you learn to’
regard your child-rearing as a eall-
Ing, when you learn to think of your—{
self as one chosen of God to bring |
your offspring into the world and to |
care for it through many anxious years {
~-then you will have proper r«-spect!
for the divine ealling of parenthood |
and you will desire to shout your new !
ideas to others from the hilltops and
desire theirs to come echoing back to
PR N
Again, T say, pass your {deas along.
Often a most helptul idea cownes from
a writer who appeals for help in deal
ing with a diffieult problem. Yours
will be most welcome in that furm.'
Or, If you have a naw or unusual way |
of teaching a child to spin a top, to
eomb his hair, to play with a dog, to
put on his clothes, to say his prayers,
to save his pßunies, to be lhuuphtt’ul‘
of this mother, to respect the truth, to
take care of a doll, to love his work,
to look after his own health, to-—-but
is not that enough? '
The editor of this paper will be glad
to have you write him giving a word |
of eriticlsm of these articles, oflerlng!
a suggestion for their lmpm\‘emenl.
and contributing your Bit in the form
of &n jdea, Or, address me in his
care. Iy some such means 1 shall
finally receive your idea, shall work!
it in with many others of its c!au.’r
and finally, withholding your name |
an ldentity in the strioctest confldence,
shall send your contribution on its
tappy way among the thousands of
my readers,

The Baby’s Fortune—(Continued.)
18, Shacklett had often boasted

ghe made no concealmant of her
belief that the Sandedge were higher in
the social scale than the Shackletts, Mr,
Shacklett could remember this even if
he had forgotten where the money had
been hid. Indeed, his mind dwelt upon
it,
“You ought to know where we put
the money, You were there; you helped
to do it. If the Sandedges Is so mighty
much bester than the Shackletts, why
't you mind where we put the monay?
Hey? Tell me that You're a Sandedgey
and 1 ain’t nothing but a plain Shack

A flash of memory had revealed to them

Now it happened that while Private
Chadwick =vas enjoying his soup under
the gentle auspices of the ladies who
had invited him to he their guest, his
comrades in the trenches and round
about had recelved some news that
scemed (o them to be very bad indeed.
It was In the shape of a rumor meraly
the forerunner of facts. The news was
to the effect that General Johnston was
{ about to be removed and General! Hood
| vut in his place. The news had not yet
{ appeared In the newspapers, and it had
irenched the soldiers before it came to
the ears of their officers How, nobody
knows. The commander of a brigade in
Virginia made the rounds of his camp
one night. He saw considerable bustle
| among the troops—fires burning and
! and rations cooking. Inquiring the cause,
| he was told that the brigade would re.
| ceive order to march before sunrise the
| next morning, The brigadier laughed at
l this, thinking it was a joke on the men,
but when he returned to his headquart

orders for his brigade to rove at dawn.

removal was well known to the private
| soldiers before the newspapers had
printed the information. The news was
| not very weall received {)or, in spite of
| the fact that they had been retreating
{ from Dalton to Atlanta, the men were
| well enough acquainted with the tao
| ties of war to know that these retreats
| were masterly, and they felt that thesr
| general was gathering all his resources
{ well In hand for a decisive battle at
ltha proper moment,
