1W J. lrsson In thn war for shut-Ins for
all those who suffer tho pent-up piln
of body and soul that comes to men
and women deprived of nortnil
health.
There Is the Rreat lesion that lielns
of use In the world Is. after all, thn
thine that counts. It Is tiufiht to us
by the. soldiers who come out of the
war crippled and broken In body but
whole In spirit And that spirit, shin
ing through their faces, makes them
plunge Into work of learning a new
Kind of usefulness, with a smile that
bfls no self-pity In It

Except for the time he looks up to

purposeless as the hinds and feet

Would they more studious be
And chase frivolity from their heads.
Then misunderstanding would cease.
And put the "lrofeasor" at eise

How lo Encourage Him
Dear Cynthia Tn what waj would sou ad
vise me to encourage a boy? I do not know
how to go about It I love him and think
he tares for me Ho Is leaving here In two
Weeks 4KNB T.
The fnct thit sou let him tome to nee

quently Is encouragement When jou
are with him nhovv jour pleasure by
being interested in the things he talks
about nnd in nn thing that pertains to
him There Ir no other real way to en
courage a man Appearing to run after
him Is apt to discourage him from fur
ther attenlons.
The Navy Camouflages Too
Dear Cynthia I would like to tmy a few
words about the use of rouge and powder.
The person who thinks it a crime to use
them Is surelv old fashioned and should not
belong to these times Young men of this
age most certainly do not pkk out the girls
with the shins nosesat least the young
men I know do not Imagine n I " call
ing a girl who uses rougo nnd powder
totrse' The least I can say Is that auch
Ignorant rgotlsm la very childish
Using rouge and powder is only a small
form of camouflage Our navy has adopted
camouflage hut under the colors Is hidden
the real thing And the girl who us s rougo
and powder often has u heart of gold

-- blackness Crawling, crawling over
tho ground, pulling themselves along
somehow, casing themselves over rough
nesscs, dragging themselves up when
thoy could nnd sinking quickly lo tho
earth to lie quiet when a blinding beautl
ful star shell burst suddenly over their
heads, lightening the ground underneath
Its radiance with a strange flare
Scott felt strangely alert and uncon
scious of what ho was doing. The
strangest thoughts went flitting through
his brain Ho kept thinking of football
nnd of the foolishness of his school
days Ills mind lenped from one thing
to another, but all the while he was
conscious of what was happening, and
alert to the slightest sound. Onco Barney
whispered to him In tho blackness ns
thev nlmnst ttuchcd bodies, and Scott
even liuglied at an absurdity of
Tinrnm'o i:prv thing seemed so strange
and unreal and jet so perfectly natural.
There was no wind, for tho breeze
that had sprung up in the early evening
had completely died down. Therefore,
every sound carried, and the men had
to be doubly careful Once as Scott
edged carefully nlong ho touched the
clenched lingers of a llgurc almost dou
bled up and half burled in a shell lvjle,
but It did not seem to shock him, It
seemed too much a part of things ns
they were ,.,.,
As a certain distance beyond tho Al
lied trenches, tho men separated, and
from then on there wan wire to bo cut,
and thercforo even more caution had to
bo used Onco Scott crouched in nn
unbearably uncomfortable position sim
ulating the unnatural stiffness of death,
while two dim figures passed quite close
to him It ould have been as casv
thlni- to hive takin them lunaware, bit
Stott resisted tho temptation It would
have meant a personal triumph at the
price of the knowledge that he was de
termined to take back
Stretching his head over the edge of
the shell hole, Scott saw them disap
pear in the direction of the Herman
trendies, and he then began his perilnu
journey again Tho night was cool, but
he was hot Drops of perspiration stood
out on his forehead, and he was forced
to stop every llttlo while nnd brush them
away 'J ho snap of his (.hears sounded
deafening ns tho wires fell away before
him Lvery Fccond he expected to be de
tected and tired at, but ho was not
afraid
And now ho was very close, so close
that he could almost make out the
enemy's parapet that loomed darl.lj just
ahead, and strange to say the first thing'
that recorded Itself on hls memorj was
the fact that he had a'ctuallv crossed
No JIan's Land, that territory where un
known perils lurk, that, horrible and vet
fascinating btretch of land that ho hajl
watched bo often from the comparative
safety of the trenches He was out on
II alone now, 't stretched about him like
tin open sea over which strange unusual
crafts vvera scattered, and which spoiled
the evennef-s of the surface He won
dered where Birncv was, and Billy
llepp, and even smiled 'a little at the
remembrance of Bainej's foollshnets In
the darkness lney were splendid bojs.
Clod grant thej did not lose their lives
that night, thought Scott, remember

was waiting to give up teaching to be

A little closer. Just a little closer, and
he would be able to hear, end Scott

there was a inutteied exclamation fiom

main unrecognized so that his mission
might not bo entirely in vain. Ills Idea
was to remain perfectly still for a long
time probably unnoticed, but he was
too close to tho German trenches to bo
able to make this ruse successful, and
It wasn't until he heard voices near him,
that realized his danger. Then ho be
gan to edge away in the opposite di
rection as fast as possible, driving
ahead on his hands and knees, of drop
ping flat and crawling. If ho could once
gain tho open spaco without being
actually sighted he might make n run
for it,
Suddenly a man reared up In front of
him, a horrible figure In gray with a
raised bejonet. Scott was oi his feet
In n second parrying the thrust. The
next Instant he felt his own bayonet
plerco through soft flesh and ho laughed
aloud It seemed strange to see the
figure fall. When they had practiced on
tho diimmlea there had been more re
sistance than there ws,s here. Why, the
blade hnd gone In so easily, and once
ho had thought he could not kill a man !
Then Scott heard a sudden shout and
the next mlnuto three figures loomed up
startling near to him. He was up In an
Instant running free, back In the direc
tion from which ho had come A rain
of bullets like drops of hall swept over
him and post him, and suddenly there
wan a stinging sensation in his thigh,
and a rush of something warm that
flowed down his leg He was suprlsed
to feel himself still running on. Why
hadn't he dropped? Hadn't he been shot
In the leg and wasn't he necessarily
wounded badly? Then came a blinding
pain In the back and he dropped for
ward on his face Tho first bullet had
passed through the fleshy part of his
leg, leaving a clean bullet wound, but
tho second had found Its mark, and
Scott It.ijmond lay with the other
strange craft on tho open sea of No
