A pathetic little episode comes from a town in France through whicli thou- sands of our troops are always pass- ing. Funerals are frequent, and the authorities noticed that a. woman of $0 years attended every burial of a British soldier and placed a wreath upon the grave, She Met her has - band in the Franco-Prusaian war, and her sons and grandsons have fallen in the present campaign. So, having Iost her own men, she de- cided to. re resent the mothers of the gallant British lads who had given their lives. Now a place at the graveside is always left for her: Love is likely to make a fool of a man, but moat men are willing to take chances. This most valuable of farm books costs you not one cent.

Pat had called him into her boudoir immediately after he had returned from Les Ambassadours. She was at the moment admiring her aunt's neck -lace, and hurriedly shoved it into her drowsing table drawer when the butler entered. Had Pat observed the gleam in the butler's eyed, she might have pre- vented subsequent eventdl and, as it was, she vvaia a bit eueplcioua oP hie aetlons, That evening, during the ball her aunt was glving the girl had reason to recall the butler's nervous conduct—{or when her aunt went to the wall -safe and discovered the jewels missing,Pat observed- the butle@r. stealthiy leaving her boudoir at' al - Most the same moment. Hurriedly searching in the drawer of her dressing table, Pat discovered that the jewels were gone. Her plan to furnish Sphinx Kelly with some- thing to. do had worked beyond her own anticipations. Mrs, Van Nuys was reporting the robbery to Sphinx Kelly when Pat joined the group. "It is so forunate you are here, Mr. Kelly," said Mrs. Van Nuys, "Now you can go at once to work upon the case. I'll reward you well if you re- cover the jewels." "Yost are so wonderfully clever, Mr. Kelly, I am sure you will find the jew- els " said Pat. `II wonder if you mean that," was Kelly's only reply, as hehurried away to examine the wall -safe and conduct an investigation. Pat, meanwhile, began to do some detective work on her own account. Donning a light wrap to .cover her evening grown, the girl Left by an in- frequently used door and was soon in the gardens, where bright moonlight made the surroundings almost as light as day. Pat hurried around to the servants' entrance, and waited, hidden by the shrubbery, until her vigil was rewarded by the appearance of Jaeques, the butler, who hastened along the pathway to a remote cor. nee of the gardens. Pat followed speedily, but with great caution, and nearly ran into Kelly who had, likewise, started to in- vestigate the grounds. Kelly dodged into a summer house, while Pat con- tinued on her way cautiously among the trees. The girl was crossing a •rustic bridge, when she heard voices below, "At the Cafe Chat Noir, in -.one hour," Pat heard in a voice she realiz- ed eves Jacques'. And as she listen- ed her eyes fell upon a man standing behind a tree, who was likewise inter- ested in the conversation that wa be- ing carried on under the rustic bridge, "We'll be there," said the voice strange to Pat. "I71 take the swag and we will dispose of it there."

She watched the man behind the tree, as he disappeared amid the undergrowth, Then Pat hurried back to the house: Excusing• herself oh the plea of slight illness, Pat reassured her alit that her jewels would surely be recovered. Then entering her boudoir, she chang- ed her evening gown to street dress, end unobserved, left the Van Nuys home, in a cab, bound for the Cafe Chat Noir. 1'Thts will be quite an adventure, I'm thinking," Pat said, half aloud, communing with herself while the cab rattled along the deserted streets, There was another cab hurryingby another route to the Cafe Chat oir, Ko11�1's assistant had reported to his chief; in the summerhouse, the eon- versation he had heard between the Apaches under the rustic bridge.

Fortunate Ending to a Seemingly 'Un- avoidable Tragedy. When Mr. Ralph'Pulitzer returned to the French aviation field after a flight with an expert pilot, the day threatened to end in tragedy. As the aeroplane came to a stop a mechanic ran up with a pneumatic wheel. He spoke a few sharp words to the pilot, says the author in Over the Front in an Aeroplane, and the pilot asked me to get out quickly. I'jumped out; the machinisteerambled into my place, carrying the pneumatic wheel, and with a rattle and a roar the aero- plane rolled across the field and leap- ed into the air again. I joined some aviation office and asked what was the matter. They pointed to a machine a few thousand feet above us and explained that in leaving the ground it had lost ono of its pneumatic wheels. The aviator was ignorant of the mishap, and un- less• they warned' Mien fit time his ma- chine would turn turtle and kill him when he tried to make his landing. My pilot had gone up to meet him in the upper air, and by waving the wheel at him indicate his predicament and warn him to land on -the left wheel and the tail of his machine. "Unless he understands before he lands be is a dead man," said the of- ficer.• That was a dramatic spectacle—one aviator on guard high in the sky in complete unconsciousness of the death that awaited him) another, climbing nearer and nearer, then circling nand and round in narrowing circles. Fin- ally the first machine started down. "He understands," said some one. -"No, he doesn't," said the others. "Get the ambulance ready!" ordered the aviation captain; and the engine of the motor ambulance began to chug with a most sinister effect. We all stood powerless and watch- ed the machine spiral down. As the man made his glide, men stood in the field waving spare wheels at hien to make sure that he would understand. But no. Instead of landing tilted to the left on the sound wheel, he made his landing leaning over a little to the right where the wheel was miss- ing. As the great machine touched the "earth it buried its nose in the ground; the tail rose and rose until it stood perpendicular, and then fell for- ward in a somersault, so that the plane was lying on its back. "He's finished. Get the ambulance!" ordered the captain. We all started at a run across the field toward the 'motionless aeroplane, with the motor ambulance following close on our heels. As we got to the wreck a figure crawled out and began to complain at not having been warned in a way that a sane man could un- derstand. How the aviator escaped will always remain a complete mys- tery, but Ms escape made a thrilling ending to an ut.forgetablo.afternoon. "THE WORLD DO MOVE."

NEW METHOD OF SUBMARIN TELEGRAPHY - Hundreds of Horses Swift to Gema Balder and Beat Hoo• Against Her. "What happens when a German sea raider is scouring the Atlantic, sink ing merchant vessels; is graphical' portrayed in the story of the destruc tion of shipping hy the German com morce destroyer Puyme, as related b Capt. A, Anderson, of the Norwegia steamer, Hallbjorg, which was sunk by the raider while on her way Prom New. York to a French port. It was the Puyme, according t Capt. Anderson, which sank • th British steamer Voltaire, Georgic and Mount Temple and accumulated her prisoners on the Yarrowdale, on which vessel they were taken to Germany Among them were many Americans since' released. Sacral.* of Animal Life. , Pathetic scenes attended the sinlc- a ing of the Mount Temple and the Georgic, both of which carried hun- dreds of horses and dogs. "The Mount Temple," said the Cap- tain, "had on board 760 horses and a number of dogs. When she was sunk it was painful to see and hear many hundreds of horses and dogs strug- gling and swimming about, a confused mate in the foaming sea, "Another appalling sacrifice of ani- mal life took' place with the sink- ing -Of the Georgic which carried as part of her cargo, 1,200 horses. Tie horses were maddened by the ex- plosion of tho torpedo which heeled the Georgic over, wrenched them- selves loose and, uttering terrifying sounds, plunged into the sea. Some of them reached the Puyme and beat with their forefeet on the vessel's side in a frantic attempt to climb to safety. At last the crew were ordered to shoot the horses with their revolvers. This shooting continued for half an hour. System of Telegraphy. Describing the appearance of the German raider when she sank the Hallbjorg, Capt. Anderson said : "The rail of the Puyme suddenly dropped and the vessel which we had' taken for a harmless English met< ehantman revealed herself now as a modern German warship with several gone pointed at us. We saw several torpedo tubes. There were two 6 - inch guns, fore and aft, and two. of the same kind on a lower deck. Later we found that the cover over the Pnyme's emergency steering gear concealed another big gun," After Capt. Anderson and the other prisoners of the sunken vessel had been placed on board the Yarrow- clale, the Germane .went cruising with the Puyme, and the captured British steamer St. Theodore, "We noticed," said the captain, "that on the following morning strange apparatus with long wires attached was -'east overboard at dif- ferent places and the wires connected with the Yarrowdalc's chart cabin. This was a system of submarine c telegraphy which would transmit and t receive orders at a distance of 150 t miles. Vire were connected with • the t Puyme all the time. If anything sus- q picious appeared on the horizon the t news was immediately forwarded to j tho captain of the Puyme." Preserving Eggs. During the spring eggs usually re- tail around 30 cents a dozen and often Less. Six months later the price will be double or treble. Spring eggs can easily be kept over until the high price season by putting them down in water glass, which can be purchased at drug stores for about 25 cents a quart. A quart of water glass mixed with twelve quarts of water that has been boiled and then cooled will be suffi- cient to preserve about fifteen dozen eggs. A stronger solution should be used for eggs that are to be held six to eight months or longer. Stir the water glass and water mix- ture until thoroughly mixed, Use a stone jar that has been thoroughly cleaned. The eggs should also be cleaned. Cover the bottom of the, jar with eggs stood up on end, the small end down, Pack the eggs so they will cover the bottom. The eggs can aII be packed at one time, one lay- er upon another, or the packing can be done from time to time. Pour in the ixturo so the top layer of eggs will be covered fully two inches. A thin eating of paraffin poured over the a op of the water glass mixture, when f he jar is filled, will prevent evapora- ion, otherwise the mixture will re- a wire replacing as often as evapora- ion makes it necessary. Store the ar in a cool cellar. • All covering for the child shpuld"be ob washable material, and kept olefin and! well aired, Heavy comforters ehouldl nob be used.
