THE PLOT A New Serial of East and West By Virginia Trrhnne Vnn de Water Copyright, 1918, Star Company CHAPTER XI John Butler sat motionless for some time after Elizabeth Wade had gone into the house. He was think ing very hard. This past week on the farm had done wonders for him, he reflected, He was more light-hearted than lie had been since leaving college._ Yes exlstance here was delightful. Yet, as he mused, he realized that, while his experiments on the Wade farm had been intensely interesting, he had not uiltil this past hour felt the keen enjoyment of life of which he was now conscious. Could his in terview with this girl have mad 6 this difference? Of course she had nothing to do with it! he declared impatiently. Un til to-night he had not even consid ered her enough of importance to talk to —not until he had roused her anger. By Jove—but she had looked pretty then—with her cheeks flush ed and her eyes flashing! He recalled that at the time of his arrival he had regretted the presence of a young person in this household. He had seen her from his window and had supposed, from her appear ance, that she was of his own class, and had been vexed at the thought that he would have to be on terms of equality with her. Later, when he had been introduc ed to her and had learned that shej was the young cousin of whom the farmer's wife had spoken, his annoy ance had vanished. His only inter est in her then had been that she re .minded him of someone he had met —but of whom he could not remem ber. After which the farm and work had b'anished her from his thoughts. Yet here to-night he had been talking to her as if she belonged to hif, own world, in spite of the fact that she was Mrs. Amos Chapin's cousin and protege. What difference did that make? he argued. Suppose the, girl was of humble origin and had not had such advantages as his sister has had, might it not be well worth know ing? Mentally he compared her wit! his sister. Surely thia girl fron Mauch Chunk was quite as refinei in speech and bearing as was Alici; Butler. She certainly was far pret tier. • A Favorable Comparison "She's lovely!" he exclaimed in voluntarily. A guarded movement at the end of the veranda brought him to his feet, and in three strides he was at the spot whence came the sound. But ! nobody was in sight, although Nig, the half-witted Pole's great dog, was sulking around' the corner of the I house. Doubtless he had been ly ! ing in the cool earth of the flower I beds, and his rising from there had | caused the rustle which Butler had j heard. I The man had started back toward | his seat when a sudden yelp from the | dog and a rough "Get out of here, you darned beast!" broke upon the silence of the night. A moment later Amos Chapin appeared at the foot of the steps. "I just met with that dog of his," he explained, frowning an grily. "And I'll be blest if'the an imal didn't snap at me as I passed him. I gave him a kick that he'll not forget soon. Talak swore at me, t guess, but I didn't wait to make sure. I told him the other day I'd shoot that brute if he didn't keep him from under foot." "Was Nig with Talak?" Butler questioned. "I saw the dog roam-| ing around here just niw, but he was j alone." "Well he was with his fool-master 1 when I met him," Amos affirmed. | Toe pair are inseparable. Talak • chains the dog up when he works | in the field, but at other times hei has him with him all the while un less I interfere, He's an awful fool." "Why keep him—Talak, I mean?" Butler asked. " I can't see that he is particularly valuable." "If he was he wouldn't be work ing for the wages I can pay him," Chapin retorted. 'I keep him be cause he will do as I order and will not try to think for "himself. If I am boss here I don't propose to have a farmhand that knows more—or thinks he does —than I do." John Butler made no rejoinder. He was no farmhand, but a director i of scientific farming, henfce It would i be foolish for him to resent the slur he might suspect lurked in the far mer's speech. Perhaps Amos realized that his words were rather indiscreet, for he spoke again after a minute or more amicably. Not Too Much Money "You see. Wade hasn't any too much money anyway, and he don't feel like putting much of it into the farm. If I owned It, like he does, I'd not mind paying money out. Surely, he added more cautiously, "if he can afford to have an expert like you come here, he could hire more farmhands." Butler spoke impetuously, "You, are mistaken, Mr. Chapin! Dr. Wade! pays me nothing. I am here for the! experience. The life in the opep j air and privilege of directing things as I please are worth much to me at this junction. I cannot explain— but the business end of the affair is perfectly satisfactory to both Dr. Wade and myself." His manner was stiff and Chapin replied gruffly: "Oh I know it's none of my business! I'm only the one that's stood by young Wade through all these years when the place didn't pay. But I don't intend to lose by this deal." •Butler would not quarrel Just now. Too much was at stake. "I did not fancy," he said, coldly! "that Dr. Wade will let you lose. lie! is not that sort of a man —as I hap-, pen to know—being his friend." The implied reproof had the de- \ sired offset. Chapin dropped the subject and after exchanging a few remarks as to the heat of the past day and the likelihood of rain to-i morrow, the pair said good-night on apparently good terms. But the conversation had made each secretly more antagonistic to-! ward the other than before. (To Be Continued) Skin Tortured jJMJJ Babies Sleep Cuticura All dnjf liata: Soap 26 ointmt 26 and 80.

ELLIS Over in Br?tain a visitor is im i pressed by the remarkable emphasis i that is laid upon tha leadership of President Wilson. It Is not in the United States, but among our allies, that one tinds the clearest recogni tion of the place that this modest civilian and ex-schoolteacher has made for himself as the interpreter and voice of civilization's highest conceptions and convictions. He has rendered articulate for all the allied nation the profoundest sentiments that animate them in this gigantic struggle. All the world around, in benighted Russia and far Caucasia, Woodrow Wilson is a name known and trusted and honpred. Whence comes this power and wisdom'.' No school of professional diplomacy traineji this man. He is not witnessing the flowering of any deep-sown plans for world-domin ion. No combination of warriors or statesmen has put him into his unique position at the forefront of mankind. Wherein, then, is the ex planation? The answer is at hand. President Wilson is a Scriptyre saturkted sion of the manse. His ideals are those of the Bible. His spirit is. that of simple Christianity. He dared to apply the principles of Jesus to international relations. The origin of the new standards of statecraft, and of the essential aims of the allied nations in this war, is nothing less than the Bible. Upon this point, of the peculiar place of the Bible, President Wilson has put himself clearly and repeat edly on record. One .may find his words hanging upon the walls of Young Men's Christian Association huts all over France. Consider the pertinency of this quotation, from him: "I am sorry for the men who do not read the Bible every day. I wonder why they deprive themselves of the strength and of the pleasure. It is one of the most singular books in the world, for every time you open it some old text that you have read a score of times suddenly beams with a new meaning. There is no other book that I know of. of which this is true; there is no other book that yields its meaning so per sonally, that seems to tit itself so intimately to the very spirit that is seeking its guidance." Behind War's Wheels The world war colors our entire thinking. We see everything in re lation to this all-transforming strug gle. When we seek to look dispas sionately upon the conflict itself, and to discern its real causes and issues, we behold that it has become a war for ideals that have come into the world with the New Testament. The common thinking of civilization has become so saturated with the teach ings of Jesus that men deem His standards of righteousness and Daily Dot Puzzle 3 k- 2 - 9 ' L 3b. .. . re— -; •' •/ •v 7 9 M 3 39 { V .13 lo r~ ~s4o. * / 42- . 21 • '7 . • 4 A 'W i* 44. '' W So , I is for Indigo Bunting— Draw from one to two and bo on to the end. mercy and brotherhood and good will supremely worth fighting for. This 'growing book has a grow ing power in our time. The explo sion in Europe has blown up or shaken t down many conventional standards. But it has left the Bible jin u new place of fnfluence. Not merely is it true that the publication and circulation of Bibles has been vastly increased; some of this due to the zeal of home churckes which have not yet felt the real impact of • the war, and some of it is owing to la genuinely heightened desire to jread the Book. In a more general i sense, the Bible has come to its own. (The standards now accepted are those most clearly taught in the Scriptures. Before the war, certain material philosophies claimed the right to su persede the old volume. Where are they now? The chastening experi ence of these four years is driving human hearts away from fads and innovations and self-indulging theo ries to the simplicities of the Book which has given us what is best in our civilization. Self-sacrifice, serv ice of others, high conceptions of conduct for men and for nations, the sanctity of truth, mercy to the weak, a lavish offering up of life itself up on the cross of a holy cause—whence come such ideals as those except frofn the Book of books? Our tumultous times are learning the truth that Whittter sang: "We search the world for truth; we cull > • The good, the pure, the beautiful From graven stou* and written scroll, From all old flower-fields of the soul; And', weary seekers of the best, We come back laden from the quest. To find that all the sages said Is in the Book our mothers read." Back to Old Fashions It took the lightning flashes of the world storm to reveal to men and nations whither they were drifting. One province in Canada had, all un known to its British-born citizens, come within one per cent of being controlled by an unsympathetic for eign immigration. The story of how Germany had entrenched herself at the world's strategic centers is now general knowledge. Ideals and stan dards that can be called nothing less than pagan had likewise insinuated themselves into our common life. Few Christians suspected how far our day had gone toward the en thronement of un-Chrlstian ideas and usages. Free love, infidelity, an tipatriotism, industrial and social anarchy, we now perceive, were real perils of civilization. The brutalized German theory that strength has no obligations to weakness, and that the superman or egotist is above all moral restraints, had found its way Into much of our literature upon "success." Likewise, made-in-Ger raany theology, which we now see to be increditably arrogant, un truthworthy and unfruitful, was steadily undermining the faith of Christendom. Now, humbled and contrite, we perceive that the old, old paths of honor and sincerity and brotherli ne;-s and reverence, which the Bible proclaimed as the way of life, are the only safe roads for the feet of the race. The simplicity of good ness; the integrity of our homes; the chastity of our characters; the worth of country and flag; the child like faith in God; the followshlp with His Saviour Son: —these have emerged anew as the desirable goals of life. Myriads of minds are giving j thought to the reconstruction of the I world after the war. All aim, whether consciously or not, at con forming It to the high and altruis tic standards of the New Testament. ! And a first factor In the rehabilitation ! of society is the careful training of I the young in the study of the Bible. Despite its hundred years of useful ness, the Sunday school never has had such a work as lies before it to-day. National and international conferences on a new world order I may sound more Important; but the Sunday school teachers have the real work to do. A plain, practicable plan for meeting all the fresh prob lefnb that the war has thrust into our thinking is to teach boys and girls, men and women, to follow the NO ADVANCE IN PRICE f ATARRH j** For head or throat Co Catarrh try the dk vapor treatment tiWISX 25c—50c—$1.00 fashion of Jesus, as set forth tn the Bible. Persihin# and Gladstone Boys especially need to be im j pressed with the attitude of really I great men toward the Bible and re ■ ligion. They should hear, as I have | heard, Lloyd George, the Free , Churchman, publicly asking his fel i low Christians to pray for him; or Admiral Beatty calling the British nation lo prayer. General Pershing's message to his soldiers in France is also a message to the world: "Hardship will be your lot, but trust in God will give you comfort; temptation will befall you, but the teachings of our Saviour will give you strength. Let your valor as a soldier, and your conduct as a man, be an inspiration to your comrades, and an honor to your country." William E. Gladstone uttered this testimony to the workability of the Bible; •"What crisis, what trouble, what perplexity-of life has failed or can fail to draw from thia inexhaustible treasure-house its proper supply? What profession, what position is not daily and hourly enriched by these words which repetition never weakens, which carry with them now, as in the days of their first utterance, the freshness of youth and immortality? When the solitary student opens all his heart to drink them in. they will reward his toil, •and in forms yet more hidden and withdrawn, in the retirement of the chamber, in the stillness of the night season, upon the bed of sick ness. and in the face of death, the Bible will be there, its several words how often winged with their several and special' messages, to heal and to sooth, to uplift and uphold, to invigorate and stir. Nay, more, per haps, than this; amid the crowds of the court, or the forum, or the street, or the ma'rket-place, where every thought of every soul seems to be set on the excitements of am bition, or of business, or of pleasure, there, too, even there, the still small voice of the Holy Bible will be heard, and the soul, aided by some blessed word, may find wings like a dove, may fly away and be at rest.''

Police in Ireland Seize Many Guns Out in Country Ixhhloii —A press association dis patch from Dublin says the police of Ballinasloe, county Galway, have raided farm houses within a radius of 50 mlte£, seizing hundreds of Runs and arms of various descriptions. The raids wore carried out simultan eously and extended into the adjoin ing: counties of Roscommon and Kings. There was no resistance, ex cept in a few instances where the presence of arms were denied, but the weapons afterward were sur rendered. The country people were surprised, not expecting such drastic action in view of the recent procla mation of Viscount French, lord lieutenant of Ireland, calling for re cruits. There also were a number of ar rests in the outlying districts in con nection with alleged opposition to the discharge of police duties and the carrying out of the recruiting pro clamation.
