Thero have been a good many week-end
parties up thero lately, on account of the
camp, of course, and I'm afraid the place
will seem rather dead in mid-August
after camp bleaks up. Goodness knows
what will become of the ulilcprs then, for
they will bo sent thither and yon. and
perhaps not c -n have tlmo to say fare
well to their wives and families.
I heard only recently of two young
women who traveled from their homes In
Georgia to Texas to sco their husbands,
who were on the border there. They
were told they might see them for a
week. They were nearly heartbroken
when they reached there to find that
they would only be allowed to see them
for one day, and that they would not even
bo permitted to stay nt tho border, but
must return to their homes that night.
Yes, this Is war In real earnest and
there Is much suffering ahead for us all,
I fear.

I was, for Billy Rowland has been pretty
steadily attentive for some time and
every one felt sure It would be an engage

the three sisters and made her debut the

Mabel Norrls Dickson, Dorothy Roberts
Bullitt, Elizabeth Roberts Clay, Rachel

Billy Rowland seems to have borne a
charmed life In his early days. I do not
believe I have ever heard of any one
person having had so many terrible ac
cidents and living, and yet here he is as
"rl-'-t as a trivet." Do you remember

The good-hearted Frenchman's scheme
worked without a hitch Tho cart was
broken up for firewood, the linrncss burnt,
nnd tho dogs taken u mile Into tho country
by Maertz. who sold them for a couple of
francs, and came back to a certain ruined
priory by a roundabout road.
Ireno and Malny had gone there already.
The place lay deep In tres and brushwood,
and was approachable by a dozen hidden
ways Although given over to bats and
owls. Its tumbledown walls contained uno
complete room, situated sonic twenty feet
above the ground level, nnd reached by n
winding staircase of stono slabs, which
looked most precarious, but proved qulto
sound If ued by a sure-footed climber
Here, then, tho three dwelt elevifi weary

with food, deposited at fluslt in a fosso.
and obtained when tho opening bars of "La
Ilrabaneonnc" were whistled at a distance
The air Itself wns n guarantee that no Her
man was near, because the Uclglaii national
anthem Is not pleasing to Hun ears
A tvped note In the br-sket formed their
solo link with tho outer world And what
momentous Issues were convoed In tho
briefest of sentences!
"Nuinur has fallen after a day's bom
bardment by a new nnd terrible cannon "
"Ilrussels has capitulated without tc
slstancc "
"After a fierce battle, tho French and
English have retired from Charlerol and
Mons "
"Tho retreat continues. France la In
vaded. Valenciennes has fnllen."
On the eleventh morning Ilalroy hid
nmong tho bushes until tlin dally banket
was brought. Monsieur l'ochard hlimclf
tine would contilve to meet Maeitz, mj the
girl did not know where her lover was
hidden
The Frenchman started visibly when Dal
roy's voice reached him ; but the latter spoko
In a tone which would not carry far. "I'm
sorr to seem ungrateful," he said, "but we
nre c 'owing desperate. Do us one last
favor, monsieur, nnd we Impose no more on
your goodness Tell me where and when
wo can cross the Meuse, and tho best routo
to take subsequently Sink or swim, I, nt
any rate, must endeavor to reach England,
nni madcmolsello Is equally resolved to
make the attempt. i
"I don't blaino you," came tho sorrowful
reply "This is going to be a long war.
Twenty yeais of deadly preparation ure
bearing fruit I am sick with anxiety.
Hut I dare not loiter In this neighborhood,
so. as tn.your affair, my advice is that
you cross the Meuse tomorrow In bioad
daylight. The bridge Is repaired and no
very strict watch Is kept. Make for N'l
velles, Unghlen mid Oudenarde. Tho Bel
gians hold the Antwerp-aand-Houlcia line,
but are being driven back dally. I have
been thinking of you. If you delay longer
you will at the best be Imprisoned In
Belgium for many months. Aro you de
termined?" "Yes."
"Do you want moneyT"
"We have plenty."
"Farewell, then, and may God protect
you!" '
"Is there no chance of nearlng the
British force" was Dalroy's final and al
most despairing question .-
"Not the least You would be following
on the heels of n quick-moving and vic
torious army. Progress Is slower toward
the coast. You have a fighting chance that
way; none the other Oood-by, monsieur.'1
"dood-by. best of friends!"
The sudden collapse of Namur and tho
consequent failure of the Anglo-French
army's Initial scheme had served to alter
this shrewd man's opinion completely Ills
confidence was gone, his nerve shaken. The
pressure of the Jack-boot was heavy upon
him. Dalroy was certain that he walked
away with a furtive haste, being in mortal
fear lest tho people he had helped so
greatly might put forth some additional
request which he dared not grant.
Next morning they left the priory grounds
separately and strolled Into the town, keep
ing some fifty yards apart It was only
after a struggle that Jan Maertz relin
quished the notion of trying to see Leontlne
before going from Huy. but the others con
vinced him that he might Imperil both the
girl and, their benefactors. As matters
juood. her greatest danger must have nearly
vanished by this time; It would be a
lamentable thine If her lover were arrested,
and It became known that he had visited
the villa.
They crossed the river on pontoons. The
Germans were already rebuilding the stone
bridge. They seemed to have men to spare
for everything- That the bridge was being
actually rebuilt, and not made practicable
by timber work only. Impressed Dalroy
more forcibly than any other fact gleaned
during his Odyssey In a Belgium under
German rule. There was no thought of
relinquishing the occupied territory, no hint
of doubt that It might be wrested from
thelr-clutch Iri the near future. He noticed
that the postolflce, the railway station, the
parcels vans, even the street names, were
Germanised. He learned subsequently that

that meant Another long train of closed

of It to Maertz. the three being on the road

Heron, and tlio carter promptly sought In

"So." guffawed Mnertz. "tho swlno know

To Dalroy's tecret umnzement, Irene, who
understood each word, laughed with tho
others Campaigning had not coarsened,

Tho faimcr spat nppmvnl "I've been

"Is the rond to Nlvelles fairly open?"
Dalroy ventured to Inquire
"One never knows. Anyhow, always give
tho' next lllago as our destination. If
doubtful, travel by night"
This rounrel was well meant In the
silent bitterness of hours yet to come, Dal
roy recalled It, nnd wished he had profited
by It.
Rnughlv speaking, they had set out on a
fifty miles' tramp, which tho men could
hae tackled In two days, or less But
the ptpeneo of Irene lowered the scale,
nnd Dalroy apportioned matters so that
twelve miles dally formed their program,
with, ns the entreprenurs say, power to In-rreai-e

"Let mo see." mused the girl aloud 'The
Germans have never fought tho British In

"That Is correct."
"And how far nvvav Is Mons?"

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
THAT OTHER fiOAT
By Farmer Smith
"When two soldiers are fighting and have
nil tho world to roll around In. why do they
manage to fall on poor little me?" asked
Billy Bumpus of himself, as he sat under
an apple tree a little ways away' from the
artillery camp where he had been making
Ills home.
"1 begin to think I'm the most important
thing In all the world ! When there Is any
thing going wrong around the place I get
the blamo for it. When there Is anything
good going on I get the blame for not
doing It.
"And there you are !"
BUly ate a little tuft of grass and then
continued to talk to himself:
"1 suppose I had no business In that tent
Sergeant Dill Tickle what a name ! I
bet he Is sour. Maybe Dill Pickles are
sweet. Who cares7
"But "
"I wonder where Uiat other goat Is? To
think there Is another goat In the army!'
It makes me chilly to think of It.
"Haven't they enough trouble without
bringing another troublo-maker here to gle
mo trouble? Two troubles do not make a
right. t
"Wnlt until I get hold of him ! 1 bet a
I win ti.io w t inim-Ejcu itiuuncy uiai lie
wns laughing nt me when I fell into that
Dill Pickle to a plnk-cyed monkey that he
bluo water. I'll fix him. He must have
been a coward, to have looked at me doing
all thote things and never let on.
"Ho may have been the pet. O-hoo! A
goat for a pet ! But ho may be gentle, like
I was before I landed In tlfe nrmy. I'll
fix thnt fellow If I ever get hold of hlra."
BLIM!
Billy butted a blade of grass Just to show
how good his iilm could be.
"Funny, In this world, what starts you
to do something. I might sit here for the
rest of the day, yet the very thought of
that other fellow makes me get up and
hurry down to butt him. Poor fellow !"
Billy started down the hill on a run. and
when ho reached Sergeant Dill Pickle's tent
he found It empty once more.
BiUy peeked here. Then he peeked there,
and nil the time he was hunting for the
othr goat. .
"Hey, there' If you are hiding from me,
come out and I will butt you to smithereens
right now," Billy was shouting at the top
of his leathery lungs.
No answer.
"You coward I Come out and do battle."
fairly yelled Billy.
Silence.
"My language Is too mild," thought Billy.
"I'll run around and find that rascal."
He looked under the cot he looked out In
the back yard. He looked everywhere,
Then he said, "I guess that coward Is so
small he can't be Been."
'There Is one place I forgot to look," said
BUly, Jumping up on a small (aVIe. "He
may be hiding here, somewhere."
Billy turned his head suddenly and. sure
enough) right In front of him stood the J
omer goai. a least limy mougnt be was
other goat.
Then things began to happen RAP

ED VARE FIRES
IN NELLY'S ALLEY
Can'l Blamo Him for Felin? Hf"
mains, Though, Senator Say
With Grin
ii
NOT 'IN' ON GARBAGE FIM.
After the manner of Mohamet, KeU
Alley has come to the notice of Stat -.tor
Ed Vare, since his street cleaners woutl
not come to Nelly's Alley.
Tne uvE.vtNa Ledobr's story of filth i
ditlons In the neighborhood of VaiVs
nome resulted not only In "Immediate a
lion" from Chief Hlcki. of the Stieet Claa-
lng Bureau, but It resulted In Vare'a - -missal
of one of his foremen.
Senator Vare said today that be thofct
this man waa responsible for the condition
of the street at the entrance of Nelly.
Alley.
"I think the dirt was sprinkled and swept
out of the alley, all right." he explain,
"but the gang of men who followed !
sweepers and shoveled th dirt vp wre V
on the Job. It Is the business of the forV
man lo see that they are on the Job,W ,
thero was no excuse for this man, so I first
him"
Senator Vare offered an original explana
tion of the reduction of fines this montk.
They are $600 less than they wer last
month
"That's because the problem of securllHf "
men Is not so acute as It was In April'anr ""
May," he asserted
"Early In the summer we had a bunch of
green, inexperienced sweepers and drivers.
They were responsible for a lot of tl
fines Now they understand their buslnea
better." y
Senator Vare was asked It he had aV
interest in the Penn Reduction Company,
which has the garbage contract for the city,
and declared that he had not. V
"I don't own a penny's worth of stock In
the concern, so you can't make ra re
sponsible for tre dead cat that lay on mfl
btreet sweepings," he ended with a grin.
Nelly's alley Is enjoying a mlnlator
reformation. Dr. Bernard Kahn says that
It Is almost too good to be true. The street
cleaners and garbage collectors single it out
for special attention. Now the children
can play on the narrow little streets wltht
out being exposed to diphtheria, Infantile,
paralysis, or typhoid fever. For Nelly's
alley has come to the political mountain and
Is receiving "Immediate attention,"
URGES WOMEN TO DROP
"STYLES" DURING WAR
Defense Council Committee Abjo
This Action to Release Men
for National Service
WASHINGTON, July IS.
Uncle Sam today asked women to aba
don "styles" during the war. The de-
fense council women's committee launch,
the appeal: ,
"Wear the clothes you have so man
power now engaged on feminine fads sad
fripperies may be released for real war
service at home or abroad.
- "Buy at reasonable prices regard
of style. Don't refuse to buy a gown be
cause there's too much or too little mate
rial In It. Let' us make use of what w
have. Allow the unenlightened men to ta4
fault with you. Do not draw on the labor
market to create useless things; It la poor
political economy and poor patriotism-
Insistence of woman on "something
exclusive" to tickle her vanity and open
the floodgates of envy In the next-door ,
neighbor's house was strongly advised
against in the committee's statement.
Women rushing into khaki also was de
cried, because "it puts the women In cosb
petition with the Government for millions
of yards needed for troops."
The wisdom of using up present tyl.
nnd having fewer styles during the re
mainder of the war to conserve man-power
will be Been by American women, the com
mittee believes. Mrs. Joseph Lamar, wbo
Issued the statement, said:
"America's women are whole-heartedly
devoted to the nation's Interests and wjil "
make real feminine sacrifice of style ta
help Undo Sam win the war."
