Sorrow as the

Mty the other day ft cnse nppcareil
'in iha oarers In which a French
woman residing on Long Inland was so
crushed by the deaths of her nearest
relatives In the war that her mind he
came deranged, grief brought on violent
mania and she had to be removed to
tht Insane nsytum.
Her cao strikes one an exceptional
and yet It has a parallel In hundreds of
others which remain' morn or less In
obscurity, but which arc none the less
terrible. N'ews came to this French
woman from her old home In Alsace that
her two brothers had been killed, then
her brother-in-law, and finally her
nephew.
Shortly after the reception of this news
more Information came. It appeared that
her father, aged SO. and her mother,
aged "S, had got In the lino of fire and
been shot down, and that her old homo
had been riddled with shot and burned
with all Its contents. Small wonder then
that the mind of the unhappy woman
should give way under the terrible lossl
Another case appeared recently where
a mother, a Ilussian )womnn, had lost
five sons, one after the other, In tho
war. She did not go mad with grlcr,
though her heart was well nigh broken.
Instead she set to work with redoubled
energy on behalf of the poor soldiers
In the trenches. "My. sons would be glad
to know that 1 am doing what 1 can,"
she said simply, and with the outward
stoical calm which the Russian peasant
woman, accustomed to terrible hardships
and poverty all her life, has cultivated
from childhood.
jCr-Anj Hn she sits all day long. Kniuink,
n' 'knitting, sewing and stitching for tho
O' troops. When t hear of alt these heart
broken, anxious mothers and sisters and
wives knitting with feverish zeal, I think
of Sir James Barrle's famous play,
"What Every Woman Knows," where
Maggie Wylle, the Scotch heroine, de
clares that knitting is a woman's salvu

Reddy and Frisky
THE way to Frisky Cottontail's new
homo In the city seemed very long
to little Reddy Squirrel. He was used
ta going long Jourpeys. but not to taking
Journeys of just that kind. Usually he
traveled in the woods where the ground
was soft and leafy under foot and where
he could stop and rest and nibble some
tender roots any time he wished. But
Billy Robin went so fast that Reddy
didn't dare risk stopping a minute he
had to watch closely and keep steadily
at his running lest he lose his guide.
So when he finally reached the garden
where Frisky lived He was quite out of
breath Fortunately Billy Itobln didn't
expect any "Thank you"; he saw how
breathless Reddy was, so he said, "Yon
der In that golden glow bed U Frlsky's
home. But you had better stay in the
hedge there and rest before you talk to
jilm. Have no fear about going back to
your home. I will come beore night
ana escort you back. Good-bye for now!"
And away he flew. Isn't Billy Robin Just
tho nicest, kindest bird?
Left atone in the osage orange hedge,
Reddy got his breath and began to look
around,
B"t before he had had time to more
than Glance about, a soft stir on the side
at tho thicket made him crouch back
into (the leaves for shelter. Somebody
was coming!
Not a move tMd Reddy make except wtth
his beady black eyes they looked right
and left tn search of danger. Closer came
the soft sound and Itejddy was Just be
ginning to wish he had never left the
woods where he knew what sounds tp
be afraid of when who should slip Into
the heart of tho thicket but-Frisky Cot
tontail himself!
"Was that you making that nolseT"
askvd Reddy breathlessly (there would be
time for a reaj greeting when he knew
he, was safe).

delighted tones. "Was It you I heard in

knitting In your hands, Maggie?" asks
one of her brothers.
And Maggie looks at him, wondering
that he should know so Utile of women.
"It we women didn't knit, we would go
mad!" she sas. "Knitting Is what pre
vents us!"
The women of the world have taken
upon themselves the cry hardest sort
of work, so that their men inn go off to
the front and flslit for home and coun
try. In London, the t'arllamcntni.' Secre
tary to the Hoard of Trade dec'arcs that
tho total number of women registered for
special war service up to April IS was
approximately 17.000 of whom over 6000
had entered their names as willing to un
dertake armament work. In connection
with tho production of nrmaments. some
of the principal factories had Informed
the Board of Trade that they would need
during tho next few months an additional
number of women amounting to 13,000.
It Is a great nnd wonderful thing that
the women of England have such avenues
of work open to them. Without work to
do, tho mental strain of Idle waiting
would bo too much nnd they would break
down under the load of suspense. For
Idlo Waiting Is the hardest thing In the
whole world to bear.
The wealthy Edinburgh lady who Is
running one of the street trolley enrs,
thereby allowing the drler to go off to
the front with the knowledge that his
weekly salary Is going to his wife and
family ns usual, has solved a problem
for herself ns well as for the driver. Foi
In hard work she will have less time
for brooding over the mischances of wnr
which may come to those she loves.
War-time Is n great leveler. For war
means devastation and sorrow and sor
row Is the greatest leveler of all. When
It comes to the loss of husbands, brothers,
nnd sweethearts. It Is true that
Tho Colonel's lady nnd Judy O'Orady
Aro Matt under their skins,
nnd In common work for the common
caueo will find their only salvation.

The Daily Story
Silas of Hebron Valley
John G. Davidson, with his cleanly
shaven, comely face, cleft chin, blue
eyes nnd firm Jaw, might have been from
appearances an actor. He might have
been mistaken for a popular preacher or
a professional baseball player. His age
was, apparently, anywhere between 3D
nnd GO ycais.
He had the air of good living nnd pros
perity which the mnn of the woild Is
supposed to wear.
All guesses ns to his profession, how
ever, would probably hnvo gone wide of
the mark. He wns a senior member of the
firm of D.-n ld.on A Cole, of Wnll Street,
n firm which bore n minor shndv reputa
tion. Even now he was hurrying homo
from n hunting ttlp In Mnlnc, which hud
been cut short bv the tip, Incgulnrly ie
celved, of a big "killing" to be made the
next ilny on the stock oxchnnge.
Despite the suspicion which attached to
him on Wall Street. Davidson's face wns
one people Instinctively liked nnd li listed.
When nt n remote Junction point. Sllns
Ashlar entered the smoker of tho train,
shaking the snowflakes from his ulster
It was midwinter and storming ho took
the sent beside the bioker.
Ashlar was S3, nnd his good-natutrd
face, unchlseled by the stress of city life,
wns round and Immaturcd, jet withal
there wns native shtcwdness In It and
frank honesty.
Davidson wns a man to inspire not only
confidence, but conlldcnces; besides, he
was In the mood for conversation. In the
course of half an hour the country youth
wns unburdening himself to this agree
ablc stronger ns ho hnd never talked to
his closest friend.
"I live over In ilebion Vnltey, In Ver
mont," hn said. "I'm clerk In old man
Brlggs' general store. Been workln' there
since I was 14. The old man wants to ro
tire now, and I'd like to buy his business."
"t see," rejoined Davidson, politely.
Silas beat n tattoo with clumsy lingers
on the window sill nnd smiled with em
barrassment before he proceeded.
"There's there's n girl, you know."
"Indeed; Brlggs' daughter, I suppose7"
"No; Jennie Gardner. We're we're' en
gaged, you sec. That's why I wnnt tho
store."
Davidson's Interest quickened. "Why
don't you run away with the girl?" lie
neked.
"She won't do It; she's afraid of her
father. So Is her mother, for that mat
ter. He's a hard man."
"He'd he satisfied to let you marry If
you owned the store?"
"yes, nnd that's Just some mote o' his
meanness," returned Silas. "He thinks
It's Impossible for mo to buy It or he
wouldn't eay so. All I got's live hun
dred dollars. Brlggs wants two thou
sand. I'm goln' down to New York to
see If I can't raise It. l'vo heard of
money being made pretty quick on Wnll
Street "
"They'd get your hay in about 20
minutes on Wnll Stieet," responded Dav
idson decisively; "I know, because thut's
where I hung out. Hut sec here. Ashlar,
I've got u little sporting blood In my
veins, nnd I've been under dog myself.
Suppose I help you down this tu'-penny
banker?"
"Say, If you only would?"
"Very well. Let's have jour five hun
dred There's something on for tomor
row, and maybe I can clean up your little
pile for you during the excitement. Are
j ou willing to trust mo and take tho
chance?"
Ashlar's answer was to draw, with
tiembllng lingers, u bulky envelope from
an inner pocket nnd pass it over to the
broker, who tore It open and counted
the contents dexterously. There was live
hundred dollars In the package in well
thumbed tens and twenties.
Tho broker stowed the money away and
produced a bit of pasteboard. "There's
my nddrcss," he said, handing the caid
to Ashlar. "You come to .that number
day nfter tomorrow at 10, and I'll have
some news for you."
When at dusk Ashlar, bewildered by
the appalling noise nnd confusion of the
big city, ndventured from the railway
station Into the street, he suddenlv felt
that he had done a foolish thing In In
trusting all his money to a pcifect
stranger. But the remembrance of David
son's face with Its definable attraction
reassured him. "t was a darn fool for
ever thlnkln" of this thing," he mut
tered. "They'd surely bent me If I tried
speculatln' by myself. I guess Davidson
Is square."
The New York & Western episode on
the stock exchange next day was merely
a skirmish In tho great Industrial wnr
fare which goes on ceaselessly In that
silt In the grnnlte called Wall Street. A
few profited, scores were ruined. Beforo
Davidson & Cole had loaded up Irre
trievably with the stock, Davidson
smelted danger, and hnd begun to let go.
His suspicions proved Justified. Tho
story of the light for control wns n clever
fake which had already caught many
small firms. It developed thnt the Silvers
and. the Hlllmans had long since come to
an amlcablo agreement In regard to the
road.
"Then we're out about 63 thou
sand," said Lucius Cole, the morning
after the skirmish, as he sat with his
partner In their private office.
"About 63 thousand," agreed David
son, "and If I hadn't got wise until a
half hour later, we'd been down and out
today."
A clerk ushered in Silas Ashlar. The
country youth was haggard with anx
iety. "The morning paper says you were
hit hard," he began. "My money "
"Your money's all-right," Interrupted
Davidson "I had your little old two
thousand salted before the balloon ascen
sion. Here's your check." Ho handed
Ashlar a slip of paper.
Silas, for a few moments, was dazed
by the good news. Then he began to
stammer his thanks, but Davidson waved
them aside, "Not a word now, Silas. I
want Just two promises of you: That
you'll never monkey with the stock ex
change again; and that you will go home
nnd fix up a wedding wthln two weeks.
Do you agree?"
There were tears In the young man's
eyes. "If Jennie says the word, we'll
be married Insldq 24 hours. This money
shuts her father up. I don't want any
more stock exchange business either, you
bet. I've been too worried the last two
days. God bless you, Mr, Davidson. If
you ever come to Hebron Valley, I'll try
to show how rrich you've done for us."
A dark flush mounted Cole's thick neck
and, overspread his face as the grateful
Ashlar left the office. "Are you crazy,
Davidson?" he demanded angrily "Vht
the devil did you give up that money
for? The fool hayseed would have be
lieved anything you told him." Although
meant as sarcasm, a note of unxlftv
crept Into his high, excited voice at the
next question. "You ain't turning hon
est, are you?"
Tht-rt was more bitterness than humor
n Davidson's smile .is he reolled; "It's
a little lute in the day for that, Isn't it?
But I'll tell you why I did it. If you want
to know. Did you evr stop to think why
I wasn't jnurried?"
"Oh. a girl away back, probably "
"Utad K3ht, Ductus. Hot folks thought
I didn't have money enough, so they sold
her off to a tight-fisted grubber with a
few hundred dollars and a heart like a
hickory nut. It's her daughter Ashlar
wants ti marry. Her nusband don't like
him. and he put the same stumbling
bjoii; jp to the boy that was laid in my
path money."
"Well. I ain't kicking, am I?" snailed
Cole, with a change of front which would
bave pujiled any one but his partner
"You're senior member of this firm,
and you can make an asa of yourself If
you want to But while I was about '
