One might wonder wby Anne was so very tam- tionsly sealing up ber abode; one might even suspect Anne of being afraid, but that was not the ease. Anne. ethitney was absolutely and ttricondi- actually alette, for her housekeeper, the good Mrs. Mather, had been ealled away euddenly by the death of her brother and Anne's cottage was nearly five miles -from the village proper. This was suinciently disturbing, but add to this the fact that she had seen that very afternoon a notice stating that a Natant Inmate of a nearby insane asy- lum had escaped—a very dangerous In- mate for whose return live hundred Ateliers was offered, and Anne would no longer seem a timid person, but in- stead n firm advocate of preparedness. Tins was the second summer that Anne had come to Oakdale, the tire' vil- lage tucked away in the hills, away from the hustling, bustling city, where she drew clever illustrations for a cer- tain popular magazine. Anue could not help feeling a trifle wary, bat she went to bed early and soon fell asleep. Some time later—it must have been near three o'clock—she was awakened by a loud shout. She Sat up in bed. A moment's silence and then a Con- fused shontiug and scuffling, tb:en a thud as a a body falling, and once more—silenee. Memories of acts of insane people rushed through her mind in quick suc- eession and she trembled violently. Finally summoning together all her courage she slipped from the bed and looked out the window. To her utter relief she saw nothing at all alarming - "Could it have been a dream?" Anne questioned herself. Then, as once more she crept into bed, she concluded that it had been a nightmare, evidently brought on by her distressing thoughts of lunatics, whereupon she promptly fell asleep tine did not waken until the bright morning sunshine was stream- ing in on her face. She rose quickly and, still tearful of the lunatic's proximity, she decided to spend the day on the lake. So hastily packing a lunch and taking a new book, she went down to the boathouse. Humming a little tune, she opened the door, and then her heart skipped a beat or two, for there, lying full length on the floor, was a man who Seemed to be asleep. The lunatic! And a dangerous one at that He wore the conventional garb of an inmate of the asylum, but even in her fright Anne notieed that he still wore talk socks and good looking shoes. She couldn't see his face very well, for the shadows were striking it and left it in semi -darkness. By this time Anne yeas trembling all over. What should she 'do? • Just then she spied. the ad rifle hanging oathe wall and, without know- ing why, she reached -rarer and picked it up. But her net awakened the sleeping man and Anne felt her heart slip -- Slip until it seemed to settle down in her heels. For the man, with a dazed look in his eyes, sprang up and was about to rush out when he was halted by Anne's rather tremulous call, "Hands upl" • Anne, who had never seen a lunatic before, much less captured one, did not know whether • he would compre- hend the term, but apparently he did, for slowly withdrawing a step or two, he raised his betide. The lunatic was lad end well propor- tioned. Re had light, Wavy hair which was now sadly disarranged, his eyes were deep blue, and as they regarded Anne's frightened face behind the ugly rifle, they lighted up appreciatively. Altogether Anne's lunatic was a very likeable young -man, and a wave of pity invent over her as she thought of his afflictiote Possibly he was insane only at intervals, and this might be one of his rational periods. Fervently taping her surmise was correct Anne told hien to sit down, which he did, inquiring, "Te witat must I be grateful for the pleasure of year. company?" Anne did not reply, but shifted the rifle to a more Menacing position, and thought, "If only 1 can bold him here until some one goes by and. eome to help me." What should she do if he became violent? Ante did not know. 'The lunatic, seated on a low box on the floor, still loOked Somewhat invite. fled, and said to Anne, "Will you kindly tell in why 1 am being kept prisoner here? Not that I object 'with you as jailer, but—" Anne blushed, for it Is very emberrassing to receive compliments from a man you are holding prisoner, even if he Is a lunatic. - At first She decided net to Miser& Mm at all, but fearing that her silence would irritate him, she concluded that she had better enswer hitt questions. "Didn't you bear the noises of a fight here last night?" he asked. Anne trembled, for she thought had attaked some one and that the thoughts or it Woad work him Up. "Why, 3.-yess, I did." she admitted, then, trying to change the subject, elle arid id: "Wettildn't 'roe like isomethieg to eat?"

Anne, who was really tired, of hold- ing the keavY weapon, let it drop to her side, but still kept her hand on it. A silence then fell, and Anne, still keeplug one eye on the road and tbe other on her prisoner, thought aver what he had said. Evidently she had not been dreaming, for he bad been in the fight, but who and where Was the other man? He had said he intended to spend his 'vacation at Oakdale, and Anne found herself thinking how niee it would be if some one like him, in his right mind, of course, should come to the tiny Tillage. They would meet, they would form a mutual fondness, they would tramp the woods, they would ow on the lake, and they would— "Say"—Anne came back to the pres- ent with a thud—"how long are you going to keep a fellow in this coop?" ' Anne didn't know what to say. She was somewhat provoked berself, for it was now long past noterand it was hot and, moreover, she was very thirsty. She felt and looked RS if she wahted to cry and the lunatic said apologetical- ly, "I hope you'll forgive my rudeness, •but I'm telling the truth, honestly, and--" But Anne did not hear hint, ter she had just spied the old mail carrier rid- ing by and in another mordent Anne was pouring out her tale. "Oh, Mr. Johnson, rye got the lunatic bere, and the gun is so heavy and—" "Lunatic I" thundered the prisoner, "So that's what you think I am?" "Lunatic!" ejaculated the old man. "Why, that's Jim Burroughs, yvho's bought the old Pendergast place down in the Village.. The lunatic was caught this morning, plumb tuckered out and in some clothes he'd evidently bor- rowed." Anne stared, then she flushed to the roots of her hair. "Oh, please try to forgive me. I didn't know and I tried to believe you weren't the lunatic, bons estly I did, but—" "Don't worry," replied the erstwhile lunatic. "I really (Udn't mind being prisoner, ander the circumstances." Thus comforted, Anne questioned: "Wouldn't you like to come out sortle day and get acquainted witleme, minus the gun?" Jim Burroughs thought that be would, but at present he thought it ad- visable to shed the garments so kindly (2) left him by his assailant and so with a gay smile and a promise to come again he drove off with the mail carrier. • The next day he made good his prom- ise, and soon after Anne's dream was fulfilled, for they met, they formed a mutual fondness, they roamed the woods, they rowed on the lake, and as all good stories should end --they mar - tied and lived happily,ever after. •••' ee-eee Alpine C' aims Y*4 ,Far From the.

That main discoreries, however, tended. te revolutionize -completely ideas re- garding the use of antisenties. Early in their investigations: It Was found that the old slaee-driverti of the West Indies knew even more about antiseptics than did the mo- dern German. themists. Slaves caught trying to escape were moat severely thraeited to discoUrage such ettetnpts an the part of the otherS. But it was not to the owners' benefit to be long deprived of the services Of such errant slaves, and it was ascertained that, to promote meld recovery, the wounds used to be rubbed with a mixture of sea- water and, lemon -juice. The effect •of juice on the ,blood was, therefore, acalit:ture of common salt and lemon ully studied, It was found that whilst ordinary antiseptics tended to destroy not only the germs, but ales the tissues of the body, and thus actually retarded the recovery of the wound, the old slave -traders' remedy promoted the flow of the healing fields from all part ot the body to the inured part, cleansing as *ell as healing the wound.

AMISSION of Italian "Irre- deal" recently paid a visit to America. The party of the Trentin Section was compos- ed as follows: Dr. Lozenzoni, 'formerly professor of the Italian facility of law in Aus- tria, acting president of the political association of the "Irredentr in Rome, captain of the "Alpini." Dr, Piscel, chief of the Labor Party of the Trentino, president of the Lawyers' Association. of Rove, ereto. Dr. Sartori, deputy at the Cheat' Council of Tirol for the Liberal party. Mr. Cristel, deputy of the County Council of Tirol for the Catholic party. As everyone may recognize, all parties are represeniad in this mis- sion, which was sent to Araerica with the approval of the Italian Govern- ment, but not by the Italian Govern- ment. The "Irredenti" politital' associa- tion takes the stand that one of the racist important war's aims is the lib- eration of all Italian people formerly belonging to Austria. In conneetien with thdt the Trete- tine section brought to America a nice reproduction of the monutuent of the great Italian poet, Dante Ali- gltierc, which the Trentino people erected by small contributions in Trento 22 years ago, and which is regarded as the most bettuttful monu- ment ever erected in Italy to the father a the netiOnal langttage and literature. They ale° brought to America a picture of the great martyr, Cesare MIAOW, Who was hanged by Austria only. because he was fighting, as an htnest Italian citizen soldier, against the oppreesor of his own country, the Treutino, The Mission gave out for the belie.

Here at. last, is admis- sion of the fact of the Marne, IM- preseive testimony, even if open to suspicion in detail. But far mere interesting airidenee has followed. This time it is Kluek who speaks. It was Kluck who come rnaaded the German army which ad- vanced from Brussela to the environs of Paris, sweeping all before it. It was Kluck who crossed the Marne and turned his back to Paris, inviting the thrust of Maunoury, which changed the whole face of the situa- tion. Now neck does not explain Ms clofeat—he admits that it was a de- feat—in military terms. He does not talk about flank or rear; manoeuvre or ebunter offensive -What he Says— and it is significant—is that he was 'surprised; as others after him, he grimly adds, not by French generals, but by French soldiers. That an army could retire for ten days, losing prisoners, guns, becom- ing exhausted, and then, of a. sudden, return to the offensive irresistibly— this was a thing the German mili- tary books never regarded possible, never discussed, never warned Ger- man generals to expect. The material elements are all duly accounted for, but failure to estimate the moral fac- tor lost the battle— lost the war, Muck hints. "We made a mistake," Muck says, with engaging frankuess. The mis- take was not strategic—'it was not that the attaek, coming out ot Paris, was in itself a surprise—the thing was deeper. Kluck, Moltke, the whole German High Command had calculated that the French soldier was beaten; their actions were based upon this assumption. It was beeause of this assumption that Kluelt went south of the Mane and opened his flank to Maunoury. Nearly four year later.Ludentlorff did the same thing, with precisely the same consequences.

An antidote had been known tor some time, but the inetbort first adopted of administering the remedy only after the symptoms had, appear- ed gave very few successful results. Now that it is the general practice to administer the antitoxin to an wouaded men immediately they ar- rive at the hospital, the' disease has been practically wiped out. Another troublesome enemy to the R.A.M.C. is tlie typhoid germ. In one cemetery outside Bloentfons eteiil are. the graves' -of over ,,one thousand tylctims of thia-complaint, who died in the 'Boer Var. Our total fatal casualties in that war from all causes tienounted to 22,500. Of this number, 8,000, or slightly over one-third, were accounted for by typhoid feyer. Happily, the Boer War also saw the first successful at- tempts to prevent 'typhoid 'fever. by means of inoculatton. Although in- oculation is not yet Crate universal in the British artny; the vast major- ity of Men have had the serum in- jected; and figeres prepared to the end of 'lune, 1916 , showed that the death -rate among the — fortauately few—unprotected was seventy times as great as ainongst the protected. The results of the inoculation have, therefore, been extremely succeseful, although the conditions of modern trench warfare. in France and- Bel- gieln have favored the develop;- inont' of this disease.
