tory, in bringing universal peace to a war-torn world, it
marks the beginning of this great country arming itself
not only for its own protection but to get itself with its
high ideals, in shape to become a mighty factor in forc
ing the world to be at peace. America recognizes that
in the family of nations none have rights superior to the
others. It believes the smallest nation has the same rights
as the largest. It believes that right, not might, should
rule in deciding questions between nations just as it
should between individuals, and because it is great and
strong, it wants, with the aid of others like it, to guaran
tee the fullest liberty to the weaker members of the
world's family. Whatever sacrifices you are called on to
make will be in this cause, the most noble that ever moved
a nation to take up arms, the most unselfish in history
since time began. So it is good bye we say to you with
laughter on our lips, to hide their trembling, and seal the
fountains from which tears come. When you come back
we shall laugh again, but then we shall not forbid the
tears to mingle with our laughter nor be ashamed for
them. Good bye until we meet again.
W. J. Bryan cannot see that there is anything for this
country to go to war with Germany over. He advocates

The new government in Russia is showing more sense
among ifs leaders than any similar movement in history.
Instead 4Ca savage intolerance such as is usually shown
by successful revolutions and all kinds of atrocities the
new government is displaying remarkable conservatism.
Every citizen, is placed on an equality, and the deposed
ruler is treated with consideration and humanely. He is
apparently deprived of nothing save his liberty, and this
only as a matter of precaution until the new government
is solidly entrenched.

CHArTGK V
Two days after Mrs. Thurston's call
I met her on the stairs as I was re
turning from market.
"If you and Air. Randall are to be
at homo tonight we will come in for
a little while,'' she said as we sepa
rated. "Po," I replied, "1 will let you
know if Mr. Randall has made any
plan for the evening. If you don't
hour from me come in early."
When Tom came home 1 told him
what Mrs. Thurston had said, and my
reply.
"I loft you n loophole, dear, if you
want to take advantage ot it." I
told him remembering what he had
said about the end of our cozy even
ings. "Let them come. We'll have to
know people some time, and may as
well start with them."
It had seemed strange to me that
Toin had said nothing anent my meet
ing any of his friends tho people he
know before, wo wore married. He had
been in New York for some months
and I was sure must have made many
acquaintances in that time. But ono'e
when I had spoken of it, he had
evaded the subject in such a way I
had not since mentioned it. He had
said:
''The people you refer to. Sue, are
out of our class. Financially 1 mean.
There is no use introducing you, we
could not keep up our end, and 1
won't be a piker.'.
Now when Mrs. Thurston introduc
ed her pleasant looking husband I
wondered if Tom would think him be
neath his notice; for while a pleasant
gentlemanly fellow enough, he was ob
viously Tom's inferior in every way.
Thurston Flatters
"Helen, Mrs. Thurston has told me
of you Mrs. liandall, and she hasn't
commenced to do you justice,'' Mr.
Thurston said to me as he bowed low
over my hand. "
"Don't pay any attention to Wal
ter," Mrs. Thurston called merrtlv,
"he's a sad flatterer."
But I had jaid attention, and T en
joyed his compliment. One of the most
curious of human weaknesses is that
we all enjoy tlatterly. We are ready
io swauow any exaggeration it it
iers to us in flattering tones.
That Tom was entertained was ob
vious as the evening wore awav. Ho
told stories, joked, and laughed" more
than he had since wo left Atlantic
City. Had ho mistaken his feelings,
and was he, too. glad to meet people
with whom we might be on friendly
terms? Then another thought brought
a little stab. If he was mistaken about
wanting to be alone with me, was it
proof that he had begun to care less
for me?
"Can't we have a rarebit, Sue!"'
he asked, interrupting my musings.
"My wife is a famous cook Thurston"
"Certainly we can," I replied, de
lighted at his commendation, just as
Mrs. Thurston broke in:
" You will have to teach me to make
some of the nice things you know
how to prepare. I am not much of a
housekeeper."
" Vou don't stay at home long
enough to keep house," her husband
interrupted, but good naturedly.
"I'll gladly show you anything I
know," 1 replied.
A Good Time -
Amid much laughter and chattering
we all adjourned to tho tiny kitchen
where 1, lacking a chafing dish, made
a rarebit in a saucepan. It turned out
very well indeed, and they praised it
unstintedly. While it was cooking Tom
had slipped out to the comer and
brought in some bottled beer, so that
t we had quite- a feast. It was nearly
re-! midnight when the Thurstons went
nonie, nnn quite that betore we retired.
"Did you eujov themf" I asked
Tom.
"Very much indeed. Thurston is a
plain sort of a chap, but he's all right'
he replied.
"What about herf ' '
"I'm not so sure about her. She's
rather spoiled I imagine. I wonder
who she was before she married. It's
queer she doesn't know how to cook"
Tom returned, unfastening his collar.
"She was a buyer or something for
a millinery house, I imagine from
something she said," I replied. "I
wanted to ask her, but didn't quite
like to."
"That would account for her not
knowing how to eook. Well yon can
teach her all right. That was a dandy
rarebit. '
