There is one difficulty that presents itself to the ordinary mind. If we curtail busi- ness we to thee extent curtail the ability of the people to earn or save. Suppose, for instance, that the manu- facturers and merchants of this city were to refrain from the making or sale ot what might be considered non- eeseutials what would be the effect upon the prosperity of the people?

That TROUBLE IN IRELAND The British Government has evident. ly determined to use the milled fist in ita dealings with the Sinn Vein con spiratore and traitors, and Perhaps not a moment too soon, if the infOrmation In the possession of the Government is correct. The appoineinent of Mr. Shortt as Secretary for Ireland, end of Gen. French as Lieutenant -Gov- ernor bee paved the way for this new policy. The Home Rule bill has been held up and conscription has not been put in force. Yesterday Dublin Castle sprung a surprise on the country when French issued a proclamation to the people declaring that a treacherous conspiracy existed to throw the coun- try into the hands of the Germans. Before ining the proclamation the military authoritiee 'caused tile arrest of Prof. Edward da Valera, the . chief conspirator of the Sinn Fein traitors; Countess Markieviez, a woman who has taken a prominentepart in creat - lag unrest in reland; Dr. Dillon and beveral other suspects. The proclama- tion announced that treasonable coramunieations had been held by disloyal men with the, German array, and it le 0 said that it was the intention of the Germans to Wel an army in Ireland to cm -operate; with a Slun Fein upris• Ing. The proclamation called upon all loyal subjects of the King to aseist in the suppreeeion of the conepiracy and to defeat the treaelteroue attempt of Germany to defame the honor of Irish- men. It aIso• asks them to assist in carrying on the War and in securing volantary recruits for the arnty. Hav- ing tutted thie proolamation and 'made tbofte arrests, Gen. French and the Government May now be expected to act with decision and put an end, as far as possible. to the unrest which has been created by these potential rebele.

Hartigan% confidence in his young friend wile so far undisturbed. He was the only occupant of the room. Out of deference to the day the tainda were pulled down, and the elec- tric lights turned on. Hartigan sat by a window with a glass of bear and a leathery sandwich before him -the latter out .of respect to 'nut strange late which illerdaine that men may not drink witheut also eatingon a Sunday. The07window looked but on .Twelfth street; and Hartigan was eontinually peeking around the edge of the blind. Elation Wail writ large on hist sanguine fea- tures. "Hey, boy!" he cried.

"Back inside five Minutes," said Hartigan. In a daze Neil watched hint go,' and watched him to ' the corner tifrough the crack of the blind. The instant he disappeared in Sixth ave- nue the young man's sub -conscious- ness galvanized him into action. Leaving money on the table to pay for what they had ordered, he hastened out of the Place. He darted across the street to ,the door marked 52 and rang the bell. It was a shabby, old fashioned English basement house, unnaturally tall and thin as if it hal been squeezed under heavy lateen' pressure. The effect was heightened by the round arches over all the narrow winnows. The old house se3med to be saying, "Oh!" as if the pressure hurt. There was a fence in front, of iron under a hun- dred coats of paint, with a gate which opened with a wheeze and shut with a clang like a cracked bell. Neil stood in the vestibule, suffer-' tug a very torment of impatience. He had a vivid .mental picture of Harti- gan hurrying e to la's destinktion and hurrying back, while he was coinpell- ed to stand still. Would they never come? More time would surely be lost Inside.

The door was finally opened by a fat woman with a hard eye. "What's the matter with you?" she demanded crossly. "Mee Miss Rose Raleigh live liere?" asked 'Nell breathlessly. . He made no pretence of conceeling his agitation, but there was no infect- ing this mountain of flesh. She look- ed him up and down deliberately be- fore replying, "She does." "I want to see her. It's very im- portant! Tell me her room and I'll go right up." The fat woman blocked the door. The malignant treature guessed hota to madden him, and became slower and slower.

She afflicted Neil like some horrible nightmare shape. "Never mind the name!" he cried. "She will know who it is." Clearly, she would have liked to close the door iu his face, but she did not quite dare. Nei' came into the hall. She commenced to raise her enormous bullenfilhe stairs a step at a time. Nei' watched her, grinding his teeth. Meanwhile he was making desperate, futile calculations of the number ofeateps it would take Harti- gan to read). Jefferson Market Court and return. "I suppose Laura lives on the top flea!" 'he thought with an ihward green. . „However, the fat lady proved to have no intention of putting'herself to the trouble of more than one flight. From the landing overhead Neil heard her call: "Miss Raleigh!" and pre- sently heard the dear and silvery re- pty that made his heart jump: "What is it?" In accents or strong scorn: "Here's a young -man asking for you. Hte,says it's itapoeta.nt, arid to bring your lilt." Therrhvas no stupid antagonism in Laura's. actions. Almost instantly and with blessed relief Neil heard her flying steps oA the stairs, nearer and nearer down three flights, ewift and sure as a sa.ndhiper's run ,on the beach.

A few by- standers started to run after them *in uncertain fashion. Thero was no sound but the running feet, It was in one of a row of the old- fashioned, smallish brick buildings with which the street 'abounds that she had disappeared. There are shops on the street. level and flats above; old-fashioned, respecta.blo Irish New Yorker's live there. Hartigan left the uniformed man to watch the street door. He and Nell found themselves In a parrow black hall, and bounded' on upstairs. Doors stood open on the landings, ad voices and pointing fin- gers urged them on mg "If they weren't so damned respecta- ble 'they wouldn't be helping the po- lice," Neil thought•hotly. They heard a dtior slam above. There were four flights of stairs. A door blocked the topmost. It open- ed to their hands, and they found themselvee out on a.flat. roof amidst a tangle of clbtheslines. There was no sign of the girt. Hartigan halted for a moment, un- dectded, There were half a dozen or so of the little buildings with roofs on. the same level, divided by low par- apets. At each ead of the row was a much taller building with a, blank wall offering an unscalable barrier. There was a score of chimneys to, hide behind, and in, each roof was a sort boefcT,panionway leading to the floors lo "We've trapped her up here all right," said Hartigan. "And if shd goes down through one ef the other buildings Conley will nab her .on the street. You go to the right and ill go to the left. Look behind the chimneys. Holler if you • see ani - thing." Neil nodded, and obeyed, praying with his whole heart that she might be on his side. .A. few residents of the floors below ventured up the stairs behind them, and stood around outside the door, prepared to duck inside if matters got too warm. Everybody was asking everybody else what was the matter. Neil cursed them in his heart for idle busybodies. Behind the farthest of the lit- tle houses containing the stairs Neil 'found her. There she crouched, white and pant- ing, a hunted thing, and dared not look up to see who it was had found her. Neil's heart was wrung at the sight. "It's I," he whispeeed swiftly. "Don't give up. Stay where you are for a few minutes. I'll try to lead them away," She looked at him with eyes full of gratitude. Neil flung open the door around the corner from her and shouted. Harti- gan came vaulting over the parapets with amazing nimbleness. Tne slat gratings which protected the tin roof creaked and slapped under his flying feet.: Neil stood holding the door open In such a way- that Hartigan was blocked from looking around the cor- ner, if it occurred to him to do so.

The largest and most important Village In Palestine Which the British expedition- ary force has oecupted in Khar Yunis. The name translated become slmsdy John's Tavern, and here there must have been front of old, a melting place on the great caravan route from Egypt to Sy- ria. The villa.ge lles midway between Rafe. and Gaza, separated frem the sea by two or three miles of rolling aorta dunes. Around it on every side is a belt of trees and orchards a mile or more in depth, and the water which makes possible this sudden blossoming of the plain Is pumped front ancient wells lying In the midst of ita lanes, On the wooded hills above Khan Yunis and set low amid the trees rises another village with the Biblical name of Beni - Seta, Whether this place, or Khan Yun- Is Itself, actually goes back to the Bible timeIs not certain. Local legend claims that Delilah, the wife of Samson, collie hence, but that story may be prompted by jealousy of Gaza, which has certain connection •with the hero of the He- brews. The one historical event certain- ly connected with the place is more re- cent. It Wria here that Napoleon at the oetset• of his bold Syrian campaign was nearly captured. His advanced guard, which he had sent from Raga to occupy the place, missed 1ts way, and he arrived before the village with his personal min- us) only, and found it defended by some Arab cavalry. But, trusting to boldness and his "star," he charged with his score of men, and the Arabs took to flight. Khan Yunis is a typical Arab village, with clustered mud houses and narrow tortuous lanes and a 'miniature bazaar. The ono building that stands out aboyo the crowd was converted' by the Sultan Barkulc from its former use as a Chris- tian church, The lion of the Knights of Saint John, the famous philanthropic or- der which protected Christian pilgrims In the Iloly land before the Crusades, 18 still marked on the portal, risnd the Kuflie lettering of the Korean verses does not hide the Norman arches. The ruin needs conserving; for some time it has been a store of building material for the strong men of the village, and the sheikh's hut close by is splendid with marble slabs that have had better uses. Opposite the ruin is the village school, wherethe fike, or dominie, teaches the young boys to read the Korean in the 1,•000 -'year-old Wig -song.

The great meeting place of Khan Yunis to -day, however, is not the boozer or the cafe. Nearly all the older men are assembled from early morning outside the tent of the military governor and squat on the groundfor hours. Since the British occupation a remarkable, system of communistic production and distribution has been introduced. Many of the fields of the fallaheen cannot be cultivated owing to military movements, but the goovernor pools the products of those that are worked ansl give their. yield, and, he rations, so' far as neces- saryg the native Inhabitants. •Time Is notgprecieus atno•ng the Bedouin, and the distribution is a half-day employment for the heads ot the families. And sehile the sheikhs are congregated around the' tents of the Khadi, the women and the .younger men aro gathered around the wells where they draW their rations of Water, Thoy come with the empty pe- trol tins and .goolas (large earthen pots) which keeps the water cool 1n. arid sum- mer, loaded on their heads or on denkeya, and a few Sinai pollee, picturesque in their brown headscarves and jerseys and bandoliers'keep' as good order among thein as 'the city constables keep In the traffic outside Saint George's hall or the Mansion house. .:' The people are well content with the Beitish occupation.

Their cat- tle, sheep and goats were for the most Part left to them by the Turk's'. The kine aro well favored though srnall-far bettAs than any which Egypt produces. Strict measures are taken to proteet the in- habitants and their property from any 'moltseatIon by soldiers. In the evening, about the hour of sun- set, the village ia at its liveliest. The sheikhs sit in the courts ef theig huts anddiscuss the dIstributien of the daY and tho news of the war, which no cen- sorship can keep from passing among the Arabs. The young ganante grIa.tch the street, some of their rough sheepskin coats with colored' keffyert (headscarves), held by the black woolen eordi otherb replersdent In yellow robes and turbans.

I am tired of the ceaseless struggles To clirab life's rugged hill, The pathway seems so narrow And thorns bedeck the way. I long to go back to the green fields Wnere the children are at play; There I built my glorious castle, And dreamed my"dreams aewa-eg Like the bubbles tliat elloat on the waters. se ' It burst sort Of sudden, it seems, And nothing was left save a memory Of my beautiful palace of dream's. I am tired of planning and toiling In the crowded world of men, Building hopes that so quickly are shattered, And building all over again. Let me drift back once more to the country - In the meadow the lambs frisk and play, And the blackbird, high in the tree tops Sings merrily her lay. And there by the little brookeide, Again as a child I will play, Where in the springtime of ray youth I dramed my dreams away. Minard's Liniment Cures Garget In Cows. SOME WAR -TIME RECIPES.
