Before the words were out of his mouth

regular Hercules for Btrcngth. On nil
sides were scenes of this sort fathers
weeping on the necks of their soldier
sons, wives embracing their long-lost
husbands, children shrieking with delight
nt "papa's" return-and kissing going on
everywhere It ls a curious thing to note
how tue Frenchmen will kiss each other
first on one check, then on tho other.
They love public exhibitions of this sort,
and clasp each other to their hearts with
great, dramatic, 'vcrye.'
Some of the sights wero quite heart
rending, for thero were many, many peo
ple In that welcoming crowd who waited
the return of their loved ones In valnl
Lots of tho women informed mo they had
not had a line from their husbands for
weeks and weeks, but they trusted In.
"le bon Dleu" that their men ould bo
among thnt crowd.
"Surely, surely my Gaspard will be
here!" one poor woman kept murmuring.
"It is four months since I have heard
from him, but Gaspard loves not to uso
his pen! Ho la a 'mauvals sujet' thus to
cause mo alarm and I shall tell him
so!"
But tho poor young .wife never had the
opportunity to upbraid her Gaspard. For
as I stood beside her a soldier disentan
gled himself from tho embraces of his
family and came toward her. His face
was solemn nnd ono could see that he was
tho bearer of bad news. "Madame," said
ho, "I am desolated to nnd words to tell
you the news your Gaspard is burled In
a quiet field nt Solssons!"
Tho little wife stood as one stunned. It
ls not true!" she muttered. "I Bhall wait
here till my Gaspard comes to me!"
Tho last I saw of her she was still
ttandlng At the barricade, a pathetic lit
tle figure among a crowd of anxious
women. Her face was drawn and white,
nnd her great dark eyes were staring
Into space.
Another woman Informed me that she
had not had word from her husband
since the outbreak of war a year ago.
She was In a state of the highest nervous
tension, nnd as each Btalwart soldier
tripped down the passage between th
barricades and out to the waiting crowd,
sho grew paler and paler. "He is not
there, my husband! Think you that ho
will come, madame?" she kept saying
with a desperate hope.
It la terrible to have to answer ques
tldh such as these.
JOY AND SORROW.
Out In the street the noise was deaf

of Aceplng. The taxi drivers were doing
a brisk trade, for on this day of das.
tho soldiers spent their money freely.
Their pay la but one cent a day-but
Aims cents have been accumulating for

TRADE WAR TO FOLLOW PEACE
Director Wilson Calls Upon Amer
ican Business Men to Prepare
The United States may not be drawn
Into the present European conflict, ac
cording to Director W. P. Wilson, of tho
Commercial Museum, but tho country
will be unable to keep out of tho trade
war which ho predicts will follow peace
between tho countries at war.
His prediction Is made In a bulletin
just issued to manufacturers and export
ers, whom he urges to prepare for the
"coirmtrclal battle that will Immediately
follow industrial peace."
Tho bulletin 'tcclares that, with tho
conclusion of reace, the nations that
buy nnd have had their old connections
broken aro going to take advantage of
the necessities of the nations that sell
to drlvo some pretty hard bargains, and
then asks what the United States Is go
ing to do about It.
It Is pointed out that Germany, Eng
land, Austria and France aro already
preparing for a protracted commercial
conflict, nnd that the French Govern
ment now has Its agents In South Amer
ica inquiring Into commercial possibili
ties. "In the coming encounter for thej
world's trade," (he bulletin says, "the
American business man will be able to
keep In the race only by going after busi
ness In a businesslike way,"

THE DAILY STORY
Cicely's Cure
"YoU?" Cicely looked at him In ueorh.
"Why you couldn't do a. day's work It
you tried."
''That showB nil you know," said Rich
mond, with a laiy laugh. "I don't go
around bragging about It, but I'm not
exactly a weakling."
Cicely sniffed. She had recently taken
up socialism as a fnd Her fads seldom
lasted long, but she made up In energy
what sho lacked In persistency, and Just
now she was filled with a fine scorn ot
the monopolistic clnss, of which Slenton
Richmond was nn example.
"If you're from Missouri, I can show
you," ho answered, mildly. "1 won't even
hold out for nn 8-hour day, either."
"I don't believe It," sho sa1. with a
toss of her head. "Seelng's believing."
"You wait,'' he said, darkly. "Just you
wait, nnd see. Meanwhile, I suppose
you're going to say 'no' again on tho
Siea that 1 cannot support myself, let
lone Jou."
Cicely nodded, sagely.
"Miss I'erkmnn Bays that no girl should
trust a man to support her when he can
not support himself."
Miss Pcrkman won the locnl lender of
tho socialistic cult and Richmond men
tally expressed an opinion ot her teach
ings thnt would not have flattered her
hnd she known. Uut ho shw that thero
wns no use arguing further with Cicely,
Sho was rooted In her fad. He roso and
turned nwny.
"You'll come early tomorrow?" sho
cnlled after him. lie half turned nt tile
gate.
"Perhaps," he said, and went down tho
street, leaving Cicely dazed. Usually it
was ho who begged for tho privilege of
coming early that ho might steal half
nn hour with her alono before tho other
guests arrived.
Cicely was fond of Richmond, but her
varying beliefs had such an unpleasant
way of discouraging matrimony nnd she
could not bo false, to her Btnndards. She
shook her head a little sadly nnd went
Into the house. Of course, Richmond
would come early to tho gnrden party. He
always did.
Uut for once Richmond stayed nwny.
Charlie Luacombe, coming Inte, dashed
up tho walk, a broad grin upon his face.
"Have you seen Richmond?" he de
manded of his hostess. "I Bay, It's the
greatest lark."
"I have not seen Mr. Richmond today,"
said Cicely coldly.
"He's right across the street," ex
plained Charlie "Been thtro all day tn
fact."
"What's that7" asked Tom Heffron
coming up.
"Stcn Richmond on the stone pile,"
"Let no man or woman be ashamed of
honest toll," he demanded oracularly.
laughed I.uscombe. - ''If r,lshi:..acroas
the street. Must be a'bet 'or something."
j f Heffron rncerOfitSBClim walk nnd ncross
jthe street. Presently jMiJ rest of the
guests followed nnd gntfiited about Rich
mond who. In his old -clothes, straddled
a pllo of broken stones to be used fpr
the work on a new building being put up
across the street.
He laughingly nnswered their questions,
as they crowded about him, but he went
steadily ou with his work, breaking the
limestone into bits of the proper sUe.
Cicely wns the Inst to Join the crowd
and the only one who realized the' mean
ing of the trick.
"Sorry I couldn't come to your party,
cried Richmond, "but I had a bet that I
could earn an honest doy8 wages. I'm
holding out pretty well."
"You ought to bo ashamed of yourself,
scolded Cicely. "And on the day of my
party of all times."
" 'The better the day the better ths
deed,' " he quoted. "I do not believe in
hi.ilm- mv llrht under a bushel."
"You needn't let It shine forth from tho(
rock neap, sne scoiacu. i m ujhi.ic
of you, Sten."
"Let no man or woman be ashamed of
honest toll," he declaimed oracularly.
"That's ono of Miss Perkman's pet texts.
I'm getting right in line for radical so
cialism." "If you stop now, you will still have
time to dress and come to the party,"
urged Cicely.
"I know It." he agreed. "butIt's-a day
or die with me. I want to show that my
muscle Is useful for something more than
track athletics. I'll be over this eve-
"Indeed jou won't!" declared Cicely
with nsperlty. "I shall not be nt home,
"Practice what you prepch." he warned.
"Don't preach about the nobility of labor
and then rofuse to receive the laborer. '
"I think you're perfectly horrid," at
clnred Cicely with a stamp of her fpot.
"And I looked for commendation." ho
answered )n mock surprise.
With flushed face the girl turned away.
The others had gone back, and her duty
as hostess lay with them. She missed
Richmond more than she would have
thought possible. He had always been
the llfo of her parties and she half la
mented, half resented his absence,
She was tired after her efforts of the
afternoon, bi'it she put on her prettiest
dress and gave orders that she would
see no ono but Sir, Richmond In case he
should call.
Richmond did call with the calm as
surance that always Irritated her, He
offered her a box of candy.
"I bought that with the money I
earned." he said with a smile, "the first
fruits of my manual labor,"
'I think you'ro horrid," she said by way
of thanks. . , ,
"No. you don't," ho declared Judlclqus
ly, "You are ongry because I put your
preaching Irito practice,"
"You could have done something moro
dignified than breaking etone," she In-
"All labor ls honorable," he declared.1
"Ask Miss Ferkman."
"I don't want ever to see Miss Perk
man again," she said, trying, to keep
back the tears.
"In that case," h said as he took his
seat beside her and folded her In hl
arms, "I'm sorry I was so mean. Will
you forgive me, dear?"
"You don't deserve It," she declared.
"Will your' he persisted.
"Yes," she whispered softly.
"And is It 'yea' to that question I wkeil

This time thero was a, longer pause,
but finally Richmond, leaning over, heard
