Bellefonte, Pa, June 8, 1982. OUT TO SEA Seaward and seaward, and sail the barques away, And one shall wait their coming home for many a weary day; And one shall wave to phantom ships, pale, unavailing hands Where feeble watchfires flicker, on deso- lated strands. Seaward and seaward, barques away, But the storm winds sweep the ocean and drown the prayers we pray; The harbor bells are ringing—are 1ing- ing o'er the foam, But who shall say what day the ships shall sight the shores of home. still sail the Seaward and seaward, and so we drift away; Be glad, dear heart, if life has known one withering rose of May; The stars are still above us, the heaven is bending o'er, Thank God for hearts that love us, though we return no more! —— A ———— GOOD DOG (Concluded from last week) He knelt and took Robbie in his arms. The boy's eyelids fluttered, he sighed deeply, trembled—and looked up at the captain. “Safe-o,’ Peepsight cried joyfully, “The bird's gone—crashed in the field yonder. Where are you hit?" “Nowhere, sir. Please lift me up.” Set on his feet, he sagged against the top and smiled foolishly, “Scared me,” he confessed. The two veterans exchanged glances. “Well, it requires a certain quality of courage to confess that,” Peepsight observed. “However, the next time you get frightened, Rob- bie, don't faint. When the army is attacking is just the time we nead you on the job.” Peepsight strolled over to the burning plane and watched the flames consume the dead aviator, “They go forth to Valhalla in a burning ship—like the Vikings of old,” he thought. He uncovered to his dead enemy and threw a clot at Andy, who, raised to a high pitch of excitement, was barking furiously at the pyre. Rebuked for his barking, he fled for comfort to Rob- bie, who was now at the edge of the river washing the dreadful signs of battle off his face and blouse. Gras- by stood by, watching him with a grim smile. “By the way, Robbie,” he called, “nobody knows you fainted except the captain and me. When the plane came over, everybody scattered ex- cept you and Enderly. You two stuck by your horses, and when that plane fell the other riders for- got their teams and ran over to it like a lot of curious schoolboys. A good driver never deserts his teams. Remember that.” “I'm glad my father wasn't here to see me flunk it,” Robbie quaver- ed, “He'd have been terribly asham- ed. He drove a lead team of mules in Dyer's battery in the Philip- pines.” “I knew him,” old Grasby de- clered. “We called him String Bean Stewart. I drove swing on the same piece and he kept me busy cursing him. Lazy dreamer! He wouldn't keep his team in draft. You are four times the lead driver your old man was, Robbie.” “Perhaps.” Robbie countered; “but then Dad was brave and I'm not. Oh, Sergeant Grasby, I'm terribly scared,” “Nothing surprising about that, Robbie. I've seen your father so frightened that one day when we received the order to mount and knew we were going to auvance through heavy rifle fire at close range, he climbed half-way up his horse, collapsed and fell off.” “He never told me about that.” “He wouldn't. He was ashamed of it because it changed his name from String-Bean Stewart to Billy the Flop, and finally we got to call- ing him plain Flop Stewart. never change. Pe that you faint or you'll inherit your father's nickname.” “But how can I help it, top?” “You can help it. A soldier has to whip himself before he can whip the to be ashamed!” Robbie came back from the river brim, looked at Tod Enderly and turned away. “I'll never be able der much of that,” he cried broken- ly. “It’s the blood. I can't bear it. Even at home when they killed a steer it always made me sick. I don’t think Father can stand it, either.” “Oh, no. Flop Stewart got used to it, son. Not in a hurry, but event- ually. He succeeded in licking him- pelt au: never knew a man who a er . Hello, 's been blessed, gr Jou Ayay It was even so. Andy had had the ast inch of his merry tail shot half off. It was dangling, The excitement was over before Andy had become aware of his wound. Whimpering a Muti, he called Robbie's attention to Grasby took out his pocket-knife and handed the weapon to Robbie. “Trim your dog's tail,” he ordered crisply. “Oh, you do it, top!” Robbie cried, terrified. “I—I couldn't do it—hon- estly, top.” “It's an order,” Grasby said stern- ly. “Trim off that dangling vertebrae and put a first aid dressing on your dog's tail” “Oh, Sergeant Grashy—please, please don't make me do it! I can’t stand blood, I tell you.” “Silence! How dare you talk back to me! “Trim that dog’s tail all nice and orderly or I'll have Peepsight unsportsmanlike Soldiers never to stand up un- | coward. He hates cowards.” i . Robbie took the knife, clamped | Andy's body between his knees, “Open your eyes and look at it,” He pulled a first-aid packet out of his blouse and handed it to the boy. “Get busy. Cry all you want to, but cry wide-eyed. curse you!” Weeping, wide-eyed, as per orders, Robbie tied up Andy's damaged tail, | Immediately Andy took the end of SOY. his tail in his mouth and tore the bandage off. Grasby laughed. “He'll lick the wound and keep it clean, Robbie. Take him up to the medical detachment and have some iodine put on it.” Robbie picked up Andy and fled with him. Grasby looked down at Tod En- derly. “Thus endeth the first lesson,” he murmured. It was Andy's custom to fall in with his master’s squad at all dis- mounted formations. The section chief would about-face and call: “Attention to roll-call, Private Andy Stewart!” “Yip! yip-yip!” Andy woud an- swer, which was as close as he could come to saying “Here!” Of course this was not exactly military, but everybody enjoyed it and none more so than Peepsight, who always encouraged anything that tended to keep up the battery's morale, and in order to lend official authority to the practice he had solemnly issued a battery order to the effect that Andy must be report- ed present at all formations, as a precaution against losing him. This evening Grasby observed that Andy had a neat wound stripe painted in bright yellow paint, on his right shoulder. Peepsight noticed it also, so immediately after retreat he issutd an order authorizing the wearing of a wound stripe by Pri- vate Andy Stewart! The battery took the road again after supper. Until midnight they toiled through a wood, along a road where the traffic was in the wildest state of confusion. Thus far the road had been free of shell fire, all of the arrivals pass- | ing high over it and bursting in the | country off to the right. But sudden- ly interdiction fire came down on! that road. Crash! Crash! Crash! Four in a row. The battalion bugler | sounded “Halt!” The shells burst a hundred yards in front of Robbie among the ammunition lorries and in the light of the second burst Rob- bie saw the ruin the first had wrought. He closed his eyes—and a hard hand closed over his boyish thigh and squeezed it hard. “Open your eyes!" Grasby ordered calmly, “Keep them open! We'll get three salvos and then they'll shift —up the road or down it. Mighty accurate shooting, I'll say.” The fire shifted up the road. “For- ward!” Peepsight ordered, and mechanically Robbie gathered his team and squeezed his mount, fight. to n ing with the animals plunging, remembering their wild in a mechanical way that he must not put them abruptly into draft. The fragments w ed around them in the darkness, but if any- body had been hit Robbie did not know it. Grasby rode beside him and the pressure of the veteran's knee against him was wonder y reassuring. And then, just as they came well within the danger zone, Sie ne ited > them and down e —to Battery-—and Rob- bie heard the hoarse ay com- ing up the line of section chiefs. “No casualties in B Battery!” “C Battery halted and remained halted,” Robbie heard G say.

He had not bothered to erect a camou- flage, for he had taken up his firing tion in an orchard and the wide- ung, leaf-laden branches screened the guns very effectively. A little rolling ground sufficiently high to afford good concealment for his gun flashes—or flash defilade, as it is called—rose and two hundred yards in front of the position and in a thicket on the crest of a hill a quar- ter of a mile in front and on a flank Peepsight studied rounding country through his field glasses. In the grass a few hundred yards down the reverse slope Andy was questing furiously backward and forward, with high head and me: tail, quartering “birdy” ground, Sud- denly he flashed into a point and held it. The partridge whipped up and over the thicket where Peepsight and his detail lay. Andy marked with anxious eye the direction of the flight and resumed his work. When no more partridges were to be found he remembered that one had escaped up to the thicket. A hundred feet from it, scenting his friends, he entered the thicket and lay down beside Peep- t “Hold him, Dunnigan,” the captain “If he | gets playing around here he may tip off our post of command to an astute enemy observer.” Even as he e four bangs” landed without preliminary warning, a hundred and fifty yards out front.

Presently a direct hit set it afire! “Where's Andy?" said Nobody knew! The firing cessed and the detail crept back up the hill. There was no sign of Andy, for he, displeased at the reception accorded him, had fled over the crest again. In the wide valley below he saw a vineyard. He had been in France long enough to know that partridges lurk in vineyards, so he went down, double-time, to investigate. There were bees or droning beetles in it scout a grain-field farther ahead. In the grain-field he took a head- over & man who did not appear notice him.

Then he tied a duplicate of it in the brass ring of the collar. “A tin-canned dog goes straight for home,” he told the corporal grimly. “Face him west.” So the corporal faced Andy west and the captain struck him rudely and yelled, “Scat, you poor little devil!” Andy sprang ahead-—and im- mediateiy felt a pain at the end of t BES g his tender tail.

Cannoneers were wiping off new ammunition and placing it handy to the guns when Andy came over the hill. The executive officer saw him coming-—heard him, in fact! “I've heard of German atrocities,” he declared, “but I'm hanged if I'd ever believe they were low enough to tin-can a dog. Look at poor Andy.

For many years she was head of t the school of home economics at During the World War she was in Washington as director of the home conservation division of the national food administration. She was widely known as a magazine editor, public speaker and author. Miss Van Rensselaer was born in Randolph, N. Y,, on June 21, 1864. She received her A. B. degree from Cornell in 1909. Before going to Cornell, she was a public schoo! teacher in Western New York. For six years she was school commissioner of Cattaraugus County. Long before Cornell University had even a department of Home Economics, Miss Van Rensselaer had organized a well developed extension rogram for the farm women of the State which was part of the exten-' sion service of the college of agri- culture. This work began with read- ing course bulletins for the home and soon grew into clubs co of women who met to study together the bulletins and the programs for study outlined in them. As this work grew in importance, instructors from the college under the direction of Miss Van Rensselaer went out to the communities to per- sonally help these groups with home econc:nics problems. In 1907 the Department of Home Economics was organized at Cornell and courses were offered to students in residence at the university. At ' this time Miss Van Rensselaer and had no difficulty in locating the tar- gets and their approximate coor- dinates on the map. When the firing data had been swiftly computed and checked the telephone transmitted it to the guns. “Number one! On the way! Num- ber two, on the way!
