(Copyright, 1915. Star Company!
The drive was not as bad as Jane
Hardy had feared it would be. The
day was perfect, and Augustus
Reeves drove a good horse. The ten
der yet vivid green of late June was
everywhere. The recent rains had
freshened the earth and all nature i
seemed in gala array.
"What is so rare as a day in June!"
Jane quoted, with a deep breath of
delight in the beauty of the world.
Her companion looked puzzled.
'TVhat did you say?" he queried.
"Oh, nothing," the girl replied, i
suppressing an inclination to laugh, j
"But you did say something," her!
companion insisted 'something |
about a day In June. What was it?" I
"I was just quoting Lowell's lines J
about a day that must have been
something like this."
"Lowell? Oh. yes, 1 guess I know;
who you mean a man who wrote 1
poems, wasn't he? It seems to me
that I remember having to learn •
pome piece of his from the Fourth j
Render when I was a boy. I sup- i
pose It's all right to teach children 1
such things, but I don't see that I
they do much good, because we're j
sure to forget them as we get!
older.
"Of course with you It's different, j
for as you're going to be a teacher |
you have to be up on poetry and |
such studies. But it's not like that!
with a man."
Again Jane suppressed a smile, j
She recollected with a nappy thrill ;
that Ned Sanderson would have!
fallen In with her mood and that |
lie would have continued the quota- j
tlon that she had begun. For he j
loved poetry and was "up" in all i
such things.
How lie would laugh if she told |
him how puzzled Mr. Reeves had
been by her reference to Lowell's
.Tune day! Yet this man sitting by
her was considered a success, while
Ned was only a "poor chap." Ho
had spoken in that way of him
self.
He had a low estimate of his own
worth. That he had not been able
to go to college was. one of his
chief regrets. Just as he had fin
ished preparatory school his father
had died. Thus Ned had become
bis mother's only support. A year
later his mother had died, too. So |
Ned was very lonely. Tet he never i
talked of hl9 loneliness but Just
made the hest of his life and of all
connected with it.
Reeves Asks Her What
She Is Thinking- About.
"What are you thinking about?"
Reeves asked suddenly. "You look
as solemn as an owl."
"Do I?" she parried, smiling
brightly. "On such a day as this
one certainly need not feel solemn.
It Is simply lovely. Just look at
those hills."
"Yes, It is a nice day," Reeves
agreed. "Not quite warm enough
to ripen the berries very fast but
It's nice for driving. Don't you like
this horse? It's one I raised from
a- colt. This buggy I bought last
Fall."
Jane had wondered wlyvt she could
converse about with this man. but
now that he had touched upon th»
subject of his own belongings lie|
talked long and volubly. When he |
liad reached the house of the per-1
son who owed him money anrl had
collected the sum In question he J
returned to his buggy, smilingly!

THURSDAY EVENING,
"1 was thinking." he remarked
"that we might drive around home I
by another way than the one we
came. What do you say to that?"
He evidently expected her to look
pleased and Jane tried to do so.
"That must be as you think best,"
she replied. "I do not want to take
i too much of your time."
"I'd like to know who has a bet
ter right to it." he returned gal
lantly. "Get up, Dick!'
Dick, the horse, thus admonished,
broke into a rapid trot. Jane, re
membering that "the other way
t around" was longer than the route
j by which they had come, was glad !
'to remind herself that she could 1
| keep her companion's tongue going
I Just by turning the conversation in \
| the direction of his own Interests j
j and affairs, and then she could lean j
i back and enjoy the fresh air on her :
face and feast her eyes on the beau- 1
ties they were passing. So she i
asked some idle question about bis j
: farm. That was eonugh and he |
(talked of his fields, the yield ot liis i
| fruit trees, the number of his cattle, j
' So interested did she seem, that as |
j they neared Milton he made an- j
j other unexpected proposition.
"You haven't seen my house ex-
I cept from the main road since you
] was a child, have you?" he re
; marked. "I guess I'll drive you
j round by that way now and see how
! you like It."
j "Isn't it getting very late?" she
j objected faintly.
; "Pshaw no!" he returned. "Any
| way, it'll only take a few minutes
j longer."
j He Drives Jane Vp to
: His Front Door.
Yet when he had driven her up to
I his front door, he insisted that she
' alight and see how the inside of the
house looked. Careful of his own
reputation for propriety, he sum-,
moned the middle-aged woman, who I
was combination housekeeper and
liouseworker, to show Miss Hardy!
"what a fine big sitting room and
dining room and kitchen there was
on this floor." He made no sugges
tion that the girl view the upper re
gions. His sense of decorum made;
him stop short of that.
Jane, confused and uncomfortable, !
tried to say what was expected of
her as she eyed the carpets with I
' huge garlands of roses and the |
i shiny black horsehair furniture. J
The place cast a chill upon her and ,
she was glad to emerge into the i
outer air. The sun was getting low
in the West and she commented on
this fact.
"It's late and I must hurry home,"
she said. "Mother may worry."
"Oh, she knows you're safe with
me. I guess." Reeves assured her as
he helped her into the buggy and
seated himself beside her. It's a
nice house, isn't it?" he remarked,
dancing back at his home. "But
it's lonely for me there by myself.
I sometimes think it's a pity that
somebody else isn't getting the good
of it too."
There was nn awliward silence.
Jane, looking straight ahead of her.
felt that Reeves was regarding her
keenly from time to time. She was
vexed to feel the blood rising to her
cheeks and thankful that every
| minute was bringing her nearer
| home. If she had to drive much
longer with this man she felt that
she could not stand It.

Suggests Organization of
Commission From Neutral
Nations to Stop War
Washington, D. C., Nov. 18.—"We
want the world to realize that war is
not only utterly ruinous to every in
terest and hound to dstroy a nation,
but that it is preposterous and ridicu
lous instead of glorious," said Dr. Da
vid Starr Jordan, while in this city
attending a conference of officials of
the American Peace Society.
The society is fostering a plan to
bring peace in Europe through the
organization of a joint commission of
neutral nations to serve as a court of ;
mediation, and to the carrying out of
this project is making a campaign for
members and funds in charge of
George W. White, treasurer of the
society, in Washington.
"The practical movement now is this
one to bring the war to an end. If
we shorten the war by one day it
would save the lives of 25,000 people
and save money enough to pay for sev
! eral hundred such commissions. After
| the war we should start plans for
j making peace enduring."

Poe, brother of "Johnny" Poe, the late

fortune, has received a letter from a
captain of the Black Watch giving a

The letter gives In detail all the op~

was left of it was finally relieved after
being in constant danger of annihila

"I must say the men went marvel

laughing and joking as they went up
and passed our entanglements. Our
casualties started directly as we show

"Scott. Pearse and Stirling were
wounded quite close to me as I was sit

and did what I could for him and got
him down into the trench.
"Eventually we determined to push
on, and went up what#is known as '
South Street. The village was in a I
terrible, state—srarcely a house left 1
standing; communication trenches I
ran up every street connecting with
cellars, and these had been filled with
Germans—they were filled with Ger

enemy any l rest, and throwing from
two to six bombs into every house or

"We found a few men working up
and down some houses in the village,
but no Black Watch men were to be
seen—they had all gone."
After describing the desperate posi

on Hill 70, which has often figured in
the dispatches, the writer says:
"Twice (Hiring the day did'l see the
Germans bring up machine guns, and
twice r took out the sixteen or twentv
men we had with us with a view wo'f
making any small counter attack I
could should they attempt to enfilade
our line; but In both cases thev had
been seen by our front line and both
parties were scattered.
"It seems now a perfect marvel that
the Germans did not make some at

a counter attack with one company
and four machine guns would have
forced us off the hill at any minute of
the day."

And I felt pretty blue, and then

And put it in—and say!
That evening I read in the Tele

An advertisement for a chauffeur
And I answered it, and it was

And then I got several replies to
