FOURTH EPISODE—(Cont'd).
Jacques submitted his strong shoul-
ders for Pat to use in climbing high
enough to dislodge -'The Dawn of Lib-
erty' from its hangings and making
all possible speed, "The Purple Mask"
and the prize winner Jakobski bad, by
his wealth determined on, had soon
changed places and were hung safely
behind the heavy drapings.
As a final touch of her achievement,
she hung a purple mask on the corner
of the frame which surrounded "The
Dawn of Liberty." Then the daunt-
less: girl and her faithful assistant
made good their escape.
* * * * * *
The ceremony of , awarding the
grand prize attracted a great throng
to the Academy. • So sure were the
judges of their procedure, that they
foolishly made no effort to examine
the painting, and nobody disturbed the
draperies that- hung before the ex-
hibits.
With much pomp and dignity, the
judges announced that they had given
their award to Exhibit No. 24—and as
they made their declaration, the
drapes were drawn aside. They had,
fortunately for their reputation, made
the designation by number instead of
the title of the subject—for before
their eyes, under the number 24, hung
"The Purple Mask."
The crowd applauded the decision,
and having once made it the judges,
despite their chagrin and a.stonr@h-
reent, could not reverse themselves.
Paul Duvelle was beside himself with
joy, and in his excitement he would
have exposed Pat to the suspicion of
being his model.
Pat had adroitly lost herself in the
crowd, where Paul could not easily
find her.
"How glad I am that you have won,"
said the girl when, a little later, she
congratulated the young artist. "We

all in fantastic garb and in high

-•Jakobski, half wild in rage and dis-
appointment, because his plans had
been frustrated, determined that he
should be avenged upon the perpe-
trator of the trick that had so decid-
edly upset his ambitions.
There were always henchmen at
hand to do his bidding, and Jakobski
had Paul followed to his studio when
he went home in triumph ;with his
prize. Jakobski's man learned of the
celebration—and Jakobski determined
to be present.
He had most of the afternoon in
which to formulate his plans, and kept
his servants busy in perfecting details

Won."
of the arrangements. Whmesevening
come Jalcobski had everything re-
hearsed and ready to proceed. With
a party of burly henchmen, he burst in
upon the revelers at Paul's studio sud-
denly and unannounced.
"We are gendarmes" shouted Jak-
obski, "and you are all under arrest,"
Pat was, at the moment, standing
in the middle of a table, passing out
cakes to the throng, dancing around
in her joyousness and inspiring the
revelers in their marl fun. When
Jakobski and his gang burst through
the door, Pat waited only for the an-
nouncement ho made.
Then she smashed the lamp hang-
ing over her' head, and threw the
studio into darkness.
'Sphinx Kelly was in the thickest of
the fight. Somebody opened the door,
and the crowd surged out of the studio
and down the stairs.
Sphinx Kelly seemed to be the epe-
cial object of attack, and Jakobski's
men kept him busy repelling their as-
saults. In the scramble and lighting
Pat managed to avoid collisions, and
was near Jacques when she saw Kel-
ly fighting his way, against odds, as
y he descended the stairway to the
street.

The girl noticed a door that led to

listened intently to the scuffle and
sharn voices that reached her ears
from the room below. She heard
heavy doors slide -upon their rollers.
Then Jajcobski and his gang scrambled
to get away.
In a moment Pat heard a voice, that
she easily recognized, shouting 'for
help from the room below. Command-
ing Jacques to aid her, the girl used
an axe that was fortunately at hand
to chop madly a.. the' thin planking of
the floor beneath her feet.
The first sharp blows made an aper-
ture through which Pat could look
down upon the room beneath her. The
horrified girl beheld a sight that near-
ly made her faint. There was Kelly,
striving madly with his baro hands, to
tear the boards from the wall and
. make a foothold and handhold to save
himself by climbing from a terrible
fate.
The floor of the tightly sealed room
in which he madly struggled, was
slipping from under him, sliding in
two parts, under the walls of the room
—and beneath was a huge tank of
water, alive with vicious alligators,
which surged madly about in their
eagerness to reach their prey.

AMERICAN REPUBLICS IN WAIL
Attitude of Mexico Continues' to 'lie
Uncertain.
In population the greatest of
American republics are the United
States, Brazil and Mexico. In size
they stand in the same order, except
that Argentina takes the third posi-
tion, writes Prof. Jones, of Wisconsin
University. Tho attitude of the
greatest Powers of the New World in
the great war is, of course, of great
interest to all parties to the conflict.
The United States, with her popula-
tion of 101,740,000, has already put
herself as a combatant on the side of
the Allies. She has done so without
any prospect, without the possibility
of a material gain comparable to the
'sacrifice which she will make.
We are greatly interested of course
in the attitude of Brazil, the largest
of Latin American States, our most
important South American .commercial
coifnection; and in that of Mexico, our
nearest Latin American neighbor and
of greatest commercial importance to
us of all the mainland republics. The
nations are typical of the groups into
which American Powers have fallen in
their attitude toward the war. The
Milted States is at war; Brazil has
broken with Germany and seems to be
drifting toward war. Mexico still re-
mains unconvinced.
If Mexico added -herself to the Al-
lies there would be no neutral coast on
the Atlantic anywhere in North
America. The West Indies are either
openly at war C,ith Germany or under
the de facto control of the belligerent
powers, and the Central American
States with Atlantic coasts have all
avowed their intent to co-operate with
us.

THE ELUSIVE SUBMARINE.
Thousands of Inventors Striving to
Find the Antidote.
A development of the war which
will receive special attention from the
histi rian is that which is connected
with the mobilization of inventions
for fighting purposes. In Germany
science was harnessed to the Moloch
of destruction before hostilities be-
gan, and all the resources of tech-
nichal knowledge were brought to
bear for the purpose of devising new
methods of killing. It was the use by
the Huns of poison gas and similar
contrivances which awakened the Al-
lies to the necessity for mobilizing in-
ventions and the imaginative enter-
prise of thoughtful men and painstak-
ing investigators.
As a r€sult there were established
in France and England boards of in-
vention connected with the naval 'and
military departments, for the examin-
ation and trial of such plans and pro-
posqls as seemed to be of value. By
thele measures the -flow df invention
was directed to channels from which
it was hoped might issue a provision
of new weapons and new kinds of
munitions helpful to the forces by land
and sea.
Just at present the attention of in-
ventors is directed particularly to -
Ward finding an antidote for the sub-
marine, It is said that the Consult=
ing Board of the United States,receiv-
ed in one week more than two thou-
sand letters, each containing what the
writer believed to be a solution of the
submarine menace. How many letters
the British Board of Inventions has
received on this subject has not been
made public, and yet it is manifest
that no device has been discovered the
practical 'application of which is an
assured success. The explanation of
this unsatisfactory state of affairs
seems to rest mainly in the inability
of the inventor to grasp rightly the
factdrs in the problem..
To overcome the submarine it is not
sufficient to be able to 'obstruct its
passage in certain limited areas, or
merely to be prepared to deal with it
during its. brief intervals of emer-
gence. Something more is wanted
than this. The real solution of the
problem will depend upon the possi-
bility of discovering its whereabouts
under water and making that discov-
ery either on the surface or in the air.
This is the fruitful field for investiga-
tion, and this is clearly the direction
indicated to inventors as the line along
which to devote their thought and
study if they are seeking an antidote
eo the submarine peril. The limita-
tion thus set up not ton1y narrows the
scope for euggestion but the number
of persons whose equipment by train-
ing and experience is likely to fit
them for the task. In osier to save
themselves from an inundation of use-
less or impracticable schemes it is
surely worth the while: of the various
investigating boards to issue to would-
be correspondents some rules by which
the latter might be guided in making
suggestions. Much disappointment
would thereby be prevented and much
waste of time and trouble.
A LIFTING HOPE.
There is no prison d the mind,
Death's sting is drawn when we can
say,
"Visions and dreams alone can bind
To -morrow's hope with yesterday.
The violet lifting lovely Bead,
The red, pd rose blushing fair,
Grow beet in cities of the dead
And from the grave of man's de-
spair.
There is no .prison of tho mind,
There's no death when the sting is
drawn;
Prieetior or prince, dream on and find
Your darkest hour before the dawn.

Tlie Economy of Rest,
"I rest for, one-half hour each morn -
Imo" said My neighbor when I asked
her how she did her housework so
easily. This woman lives on a farm,
does all of her own housework, in-
cluding the laundering, helps ears for
the garden, raises chickens, and wee
for ewe children, ono 'five and the oth-
er seven years ora, yet she never
seems tired or nervous and her house
is always neat, •
"After breakfast I wash the dishes
and piit the house in order," she con-
tinued, "then'I care for my children,
bring from the garden what vegetabe
les -I will need, then do my special
work for the day—cleaning, baking, or
ironin'g, as it may be. At ten o'clock
Igo to my room, darken it, loosen my
clothing•,nd lie down fax a half hour,
If I am v i'.y tired 'I sometimes go to
sleep, but even if I do not sleep I rest,
I try,to forget all about my work and
Just let go find rest. The children
understand that I am not to, be dis-
turbed, and are willing to play without
Mamma for half an hour.
"When I get up I feel like new; so
I start the dinner and then clean my-
self up a little. After dinner ,I
finish up my work, but I always have
an hour off in the afternoon too, and
generally two, or even three.
"I try to get as much as poesible
done before my forenoon rest period.
I work as hard and fast as I know
how up to that time, but try to plan
my work to make as few steps as
possible. In that way I get the big-
gest part of my work done by ten
o'clock."
"But can you do that on wash days
too?" I asked.
"Yes," she replied, "if .I hurry and
the washing is not. too big I am all
ice.
through by that time, If I am not
through I just let the clothes soak
while I rest, then finish when I got
up.I'ven few

Strawberry Shortcake.
Mix 2 cups flour, , 4 teaspoonfuls
baking powder, ee teaspoonful salt, 2
tablespoonfuls sugar and sift twice.
Work in 1/4 cup butter with fingers.
Add eel cup milk gradually. Put on
board, divide into 2 parts, and roll out
to fit the cake tin; using the least pos-
sible flour to roll. Put one part on
tin, spread lightly with melted butter,
then place other part on top. Bake 15
minutes in hot oven. When baked,
separate and place between cakes one
quart of strawberries mashed slightly
and sweetened. Decorate top with a
few whole berries.
'Canning Advice.
When canning, pickling and pre-
serving do not use any powders or
preparations for keeping fruits or
vegetables. Itis not difficult to keep
fruits or vegetables, but it is absolute-
ly necessary to sterilize the contents
of each jar for sufficient length of
time to kill all spores, germs and
bacteria, 1
The use of alum and its equivalents
in pickling is positively injurious and
must not be thought of. If you will
follow carefully the directions in any
good cook book you will find that the
pickles will have a good color, be crisp
and have a delicious aroma.'' This can
only be obtained by careful up-to-date
methods,
Fruits may also be canned without
sugar, or syrup may be used in place
of sugar. Fruit canned without sugar
may have the sugar added just before
using. For successful results it will
be necessary to drain the liquid from
the canned .fruit, acid the sugar and
bring to bail. Cook for five minutes
and then pour over the fruit; this fruit
will not equal that which has had the
sugar added at time of canning.
•
Preserving Rhubarb. •
Rhubarb may be canned by the cold
water method. To do this, wash the
rhubarb, remove tips and root ends
and cut in inch -long pieces. Fill the
cans as tightly as possible, of course,
cans must be sterilized, and fill to ov-
erflowing'fvith cold water. Seal at
once and set in a cgol dark place. The
natural acid of the,rhubarb prevents
the growth of bacteria.
To can by the hot water bath meth,
or, as sterilizing in the boiler is call-
ed, wash the _rhubarb and cut in inch
pieces, plunge in boiling water for two
minutes and then clip in cold water,
Pack the cans as tightly as possible
and pour in a thick syrup till cans ov-
erflow. • By thick syrup is meant ,a
syrup made in the proportion of four
pounds of sugar to three quarts of wa-
ter, boiled until it is hard to "pour it
from;,the spoon. The syrup should be
boiling when poured on the rhubarb.
Proceed as in canning any product and
sterilize fifteen minutes.
Fruit combinations .that may be
cooked with rhubarb include Pineal/ -
Fie, raisins, dates;' orienges, apples and
prunes. Peel and cut rhubarb, and
cover with• the amount of sugar 'e-
quired, and let it stand in warm place
until sugar is melted. Add desired
fruit, cook until, when tried in a
saucer, it is - of jamlike consistency.
Use two pounds- of rhubarb to one
pound of fruit and three-quarters
pound of sugar to every pound of mix-
ed fruits. Dp not cook rhubarb ire tin
saucepans.
CCIANGED BRITISH MANNERS. -
Contrast Between London and Brus-
sels Under German Occupation.
Striking changes in British man-,
ners have resulted from the constant
presence in London of thousands 'of of-
ficers and soldiers on leave from the
trenches, according to'one of the at-
taches of the Commission for Relief
in Belgium, who has recently, eturned
to New York from duty in Brussels,
Amsterdam and London. The tradi-
tional aloofness of the Englishman,
always so noticeable to Americans,
has disappeared and he is as approach-
able as a Kansas City drummer in a
Pullman smoking room.
The men on leave are trying to en-
joy what may be their last vacation,
and every one else is out to help them
do it. The whole city is constantly in
a holiday statte�,, of mind. A sort of
cheery light Kea`rtedness is abroad, a
spirit of comradeship that seems to
.pervade the whole nation and every
class of society.
The things that were formerly
worth while seem to have lost their
importance. The struggle and rivalry
of that time which now seems so far
away has been superseded by a de-
termination to do more than a bit to
make the way of one's fellow mortals
.
little more easy.
y
London, the war capital of the Al-
lies, is far more interesting than Brus-
sels, where, on the surface, life seems
to go along in its normal course with
very little to mark the chief city of
a conquered nation. Though there
are
no horse drawn vehicles to be seen
and no automobiles, except those of
the German military officials, the
street cars are in,operation and the
Belgian police and fire departments
are performing their usual functions.
The army of occupation is composed
of men physically unfit for active ser-
vice—wounded men who are unable
to return to the trenches; mere boys
or men past the age limit. The sol-
diers are for the most part well be-
haved, but there has been absolutely
no reconciliation between them and
the Belgians. No one takes the slight-
est notice of a German uniform. On
the streets, in the cafes, they are left
absolutely to themselves. By not so
much as a glance is their presence
ever recognized.
FIRST ATTEMPTS TO FLY.
It was in 1678 That the Earliest Real
Trial Toole Place.
Although it was Leonardo da Vinci.
the great artist, who produced the
first "heavier than air" flying machine,
it was a blacksmith named Besnier
who first tried to fly. Leonardo da
Vinci puttered around and didn't get
off in his 1480 A.D. attempt. Like-
wise Veranzio in 1617 "foozled" when
he attempted to fly in a parachute ar-
rangement.
But in 1678 Besnier, the blacksmith,
got tp looking at the heavens and,
like Darius Green, said: "The birds
can fly, and why can't IV'
The villagers "kidded" him merci-
lessly as he talked and worse when he
started -Making his - flying machine,
but Besnier was determined.
His scheme was to place light
boards on the ends of two long poles;
to put the poles over his shoulder, to
chain the rear end of the pole to his
feet and then to launch himself into
the air with a swimming motion, his
arms and feet giving the wings an up
and down motion that would shoot
him aloft.
It was a fine scheme,•and one day
when he was ready he invited all the
neighbors in and led them to a hill.
He put the poles on his shoulders,
gave a "whoop" and, leaped' over the
edge, working his hands and feet like
a clog in the water. The women
shrieked and the little boys cheered
and the cows in the pasture bellowed
and ran --and Besnier, the smith, with
a great flopping of wooden wings
came thundering down to earth, brok-
en and splintered and ready to cry.
Bosnier's example was enough, and
no more efforts to soar, were made un-
til the nineteenth century.
"The entire object of true educa-
tion is to make people not merely clo-
the right things, but enjoy the right
things."—Ruskin.

ENGLISH GIRLS
SCORN SLACKERS
600,000 MORE MEN NEEDED BY
• FIRST O1 JULY.
Thousands of Men From Forty.one to
Fifty Years.are Offering
Their Services.
With 5,000,000 mere. reported now
serving in the military establishment
and about a half million in the navy,
Great Britain is already casting about
for mor=e resource's of man power.
Never was
maw of war so'vor-
ciouse in its demantheds for cannon fol -a
der, says a London writer. Gen. Rob=
ertson, Chief of Staff, has demanded
that he be provided by July 1 with
600,000 more men, and they will be
forthcoming. The military authori-
ties have issued an invitation to men
from 41 to 50 years old to volunteer,
and the results thus far have been as-
tonishingly good. Tens of thousands
of men within these age limits offered
their services et the beginning 'of the
war, and were disgusted when they
were rejected. Despite all that is heard .
and printed about shirkers, it ie alto-
gether probable that Britain still has
as many men who have thus far been
rejected despite their willingness to
assist at it has men of. military age
who managed deliberately to evade
service.
The combing process out ccs
s is now in
full swing. Conditions on which men
may be exempted from military ser-
vice are being constantly tightened.
Contempt for Shirkers.
Everyweek makes
it harder for a
man under 40 to give a good account
of -himself ex khaki. When it gets
noised about a neighborhood that a
particular young man has been before
the tribunal and secured an exemption,
either temporary or permanent, the
measure of his essentialness to his
civilian industry pretty promptly be -
conies also the measure -of his non -es-
sentialness to the young women of
that locality. That particular young,
man suddenly discovers that bright
eyes are 'averted as he passes, and
skirts flirt contemptuously in the
other direction. The girls whose bre-
thers are at the front or in the train-
! ing camps or in the hospitals, either,
at home or in France, or sleeping the.,
last sleep under the white crosses in
France, don't care much for the shirk
ers. '
I asked a young woman how the,
girls of her set treated the exemptees.'
"I don't know any exemptees," she re-
plied acridly.
• "Literally or socially?" I persisted.
"Both," was the reply. "I used to
know some men who are now shirkers;
whenever one of them happens my
way I do what I can in my feeble
fashions, to make him understand that
L am sorry I ever knew _him. I3e is
apt not to happen in my vicinity,
again,"
Men Over Military Age.
Two new groups for the voluntary
attestation of men over the -present
military age of 40 have been opened
up. The first includes men, whether
single or married, between 40 and 45;
the second, for either single or mar-
ried men, between 45 ' and 60. The
country has been plastered with post-
ers appealing to men in these groups
to come forward and enroll. For the
present at least no compulsion will be
resorted to in enlisting men for these
classes, though it is whispered that it
may be necessary later.
The purpose of this voluntary re -
1 eruiting of the oldsters is to replace
younger men who are behind the lines
in France and will thus be released
for service at the front, A consider-
able proportion of them will also be
trained for service in the home de-
fence. For these various employments
they will be assigned, according to
their medical classification.
The latest census indicates that
there are in England, Wales, Scotland
and Ireland nearly 2,500,000 men
within these age limits, The propor-
tion of rejection among thein for phy-
sical reasons is expected to be con-
siderably larger than among younger
men, possibly as high as 50 per cent.
