To aay thst PanI Ellsley was a hap¬ py yonng man ts only putting it mildly. He had health, strength, good loolis, and had been fairly successful In busi¬ ness since graduating from college four years before.
Realdes all this, he had fallen tn love with Arline Maynard during the last year, and he now realised that life would mean nothing to him nnleas she shared it His Income was safOcicntly secure to enable him to support a Wife, even the independent and capable kind he knew Arline to be. ' The girl of his choice was an artist, and although only twenty-four, already had had enough success to make her sure of a secure place in the world of art.
Paul was very happy Indeed that pleasant summer evening as he went toward Arllne's home, intent on ask¬ ing her to marry him. He found her father and mother on the veranda, and they told him Arline was in her studio. He said he would announce himself.
"Pani is in love with Arline," smiled Mrs.   Mnynard  at  her husband.
"I could not ask a better man for her," he replied. "He is as serious and steady as any mnnstwice his age. The men downtown say there is no nonsense about I'aul Ellsley. I am sure Arline likes him."
Expectantly, Paul tapped at the stu¬ dio door.
"Come In," called the sweet and fa¬ miliar voice.
She was nrranjclng some paintings nnd frreeted him with a pleasant "Good evening!"
Paul's attention,  nfter greeting Ar¬ line,  wns centerod  on the pliotograpli of n remarkably hantlsonie young man. j It wns placed in a conspicuous position ' on a table, and I'nul'.'i heart sank with- ! In him when he rooJlzed thnt he had ' never   seen  the  picture.      Arline  sat down   btslde  him,   nml   let   her  gaze wnnder to the handsome face nnd then i to the canvases nround the wall. I
J'nul could not siieak. To himself ' he snid : "He mu.st be nn artist, whom she met When she wns painting In Provincetown last summer, nnd he has won her awny from me. So .talented a girl could not cnre for a business man. I wns n fool to think she could be happy with me."
Poor Paul wns so wretched thnt the words he came to speak were left un¬ spoken, nnd he went awny very short¬ ly, going out by another door so as not to meet her father and mother again. All he wanted now was to be ulone with his poor wounded heart.
The next night Sallle Edwards call- I" ed him on the telephone to remind him that she was waiting for him to come to her house to make plans for an en¬ tertainment in which they were both to tftke pnrt. Needless to say, Paul bad lost interest now, but as he could not give the reason why he went to meet Sallle as a matter of course.
The- first thing lie saw as he entered the cozy living room of the Edwards house was a duplicate of the photo¬ graph he hnd seen on Arllne's table. It hnd been plnced on the pinno, •jigaiiist n rare Chinese vn.sc. Paul wns amased, but as Sallle did not mention the picture, neither did he. Sallie hnd another engngeiiient, so they hucrled- wlth   their plans.
In a short time, which seemed long to Pnul, he found himself wiilklng home in a dnze. Did Arline love n nian who wns evidently untru** to her . —or wliy should Siillle have the same new pliotograph? What should he do? Tell Arline. No, ho wouldn't do thnt; there wns not enough evidence agn4ust the villnln.
He liad prevjou'^ly nccepted nn Invi¬ tation to dine at tlu' home of hl.s chum, Hoy J-iandres, tlio following night. He would rather have stnykl at liome with his sorrow, but lie knew tliut Iloy would fetch liini bodily. Anyway, It might help to kill time. Killing time was all that life meant to him, now that ^v hnd lost Arline.
Hoy's sister, Peggie, was the only one in tlie living room when he ar¬ rived. She greeted him us a l>lg broth¬ er, and went on arranging some vnses on tlie mantel. Then she turned to n table on which were seme books, and— oh, horrors! Waa lie seeing things! No, a lemonade was all he^ad had to drink, and that wouldn't make him see the same handsome face of the photo¬ graph in Arllne's studio uud ou Sal- lie's piauo. The third time. Why, the man waa a gay Lothario I
Something must Ue done. He niuat tav« Arline from the ckttchea of a wratcti who was obviously Staking luve to acorea of other girls. It waa mad¬ dening! What was be tu do? Peggie picked up the photograpti, looked at It amHIugly, aud put it back carefully. Paul waa as fond of R^gjrfe as be waa of Roy. It was bis duty to pro¬ tect her us be would bia own abMar.

Ever since his mother'* death, when he wns fifteen, he hnd taken all his problems to her. Tes, he would fell Annt Mcrgxret Perhapo It would he better for her to Inform th^ three girls—no one knew how mnny more there were—s.id mnke them un¬ derstand thnt there was a deceiver abroad In the land.
The comfort of this decision enabled him to sleep nnd to flnlnh his work next day, so thnt he wns nhle to go to his aunt on his way to dinner. He hnd telephoned her thnt he had something most Important about which he must consult her.
She would   not fall  hiro,  he knev Wasn't It one of the very good thing.-* of his life that  he conid   always de¬ pend on Aunt Mrtrgnretl    Bless her I
With high tiopes he leaped up the steps of her home. The door was soon opened. He rushed Into the library where she often sat She was there as usual, bnt the smile of greeting be had for her froze to one of horror.
For there on the mantel, facing him. was the handsome face he had grown to detest, smiling at him.
He reached ont to o chair for sup¬ port Steadying himself, then tragi¬ cally pointing at the picture and look-

DEAR LORD, I am but an old-fashioned reporter, very much of a hack and unskilled in the ways of the literary fellows, albeit I do know the true meaning of several Words of our com¬ mon tongrue. Away back in my Pennsylvania hills, in the valley where the bald eagle makes hie nest, was I reared, and there brought up in the stem ways of that faith which, by Thy grace, I still hold firm as to soundness. There also had I instilled into me a love of country and devotion to American ideals which are, thanks to Thee, a very large part of my being. True, true, I have frequently in the past slipped on slippery paths, know¬ ingly. Even now in the grey years do I offend nor feel sufficient repentance for the offence. Yet dare I pray, and this my prayer:
n^EVER let ma a quitter b«l Awake or aileep. at work or play, may I never have ttiougtiti of Peace and ever be Impatient and even autplclout of thoae who talk of, pray for, or preach on anything contrary to a complete and lastlna victory for the united arms of my country and It* asaoclate*. Let ma be always young of heart, cheery, hopeful with the hopefulnete born of national faith, conttanMy attuned to the aplrlt of the Republic, to that no throb of Ita great heart ahall find mine unresponelve. Keep me always to primed for the fight that he may know and understand the American father never expecte the son to dare and to do for country what the father himself is not ready and eager to do and to dare. Lastly, Lord, no matter what may be my personal thoughte, however difficult of understanding eome thinga are, let me be generoljs enough to shove my hand Into that of an Englishman and tell him I am glad to recognize aa a truth of cur¬ rent history that the English know how to die; how to die, dear Lord, in defense of their own and of another man's home; how to die for those eacred principles to maintain which my country Jumped Into a uniform and pledged its soul to fight side by side with the Engliah and the French, the Belgian and the Italian, the Arab and the Moor. Amen.
Paul  Could Not Speak.
Ing repronchfully nt the sweet-fnced. luiddU'-nged w<iiniin who hnd come for- wiird to kiss iiliii, he exclaimed:
"And j'ou,   too, Aunt Margnret!"
"Well, Cnesnr," nsked his surprised reliitt\e, "what do you mean? 'Et tu, Hrute!' Are you plny-actlng, my dear?"
"Oh, Aunt Margaret, I came to you for help nnd I fln<l you In the tolls of the nreh-vlllnln of the age. See that mnn over there?" pointing a scornful finger at the photograph. "He lias won Arline from me; Snrllle and Peg¬ gie are his victlni.i. too--aud then you. Oh, Auntie, dear, how could you be so deceived?"
"Come," said his aunt, "sit beside me." She led lilm to a sofa. "Now tell me nil about it."
Paul told her of his love for Arline, and that he had been sure his love wns returned until he snw the picture on the table. He told of seeing the snme likeness In the homes of Sallle and Peggie.
"Then here. Aunt Margaret. I came to ask your aid In undeceiving these girls; to let them know to what kind of mnn they hnve given their hearts. This Is more than 1 can bear!"
In.stend of l)elng crushed with the torrent of words nnd their significance his nunt lennod her head back on the sofa and laughed until she cried. Poor Paul thought she was hysterical with grief imil mortltlcntlon.
At Inst she rose, walked to the man¬ tel, took the iilcturc from it, looked at it critically? nnd snid:
"He Is hnndsonie. Isn't he?"
"Yes; and you all fell for n lot of wuvy hair and n perfect proflle," de¬ nounced Pnul.
"Come, dear," ns she put the picture back; "you have suffered enough. 1 will tell you who he Is. You know about the new Walton Stock company"i \V«'II, he is tlie li-adlng man. The man¬ agement gave his photograph to every woman utteiulliig the Wednesday mat¬ inee. We liked his actin;;, hut he nev¬ er heard of any of us. The photograph represents n courtesy from the man- a;:i'ment; thnt is nil, dear. Now rim along to Arline and ask her what you intende<l asking her the other night I nni sure you will be welcome."
Paul seize<l Ids aunt in his strong young arms, and after kissing her fu riously, he ran out of the house, sinm- uiing the door after htm as he weul on his way to arline. ".
ROAST BEEF APPETITES
AND BEEFLESS MENUS
If you mnke up your mind that you ¦would like roast beef or a steak for lunch, enter a restaurant and %id that there are no beef dishes on the menu, don't feel that you are abused. You will find other meat dishes just ns tasty and nourishing on the list. It you feel tempted to rebel, just stop for a moment to consider the plight of It¬ aly, one of America's comrades In ilie war, who is doing such splendid work driving back the Austrian invaders. So grave has the food situation become In Italy that three meatless—not Just beefless, or just porkless, or just mut- tonless days, but all three—thnt Is, m-e--a-t-l-e-s-s days, have been in effect since May 15. While Italy is not such a heavy meat-eating nation as some of her Allies, nevertheless the three meat¬ less days a week come pnrticularly hard at thte time liecanse the con¬ sumption of grain has been also cut down. Bread and macaroni form two of the principal foods of the Italian people, and the consumption in these foods Is now about one-quarter less than last year. While the sacrifice you make when you tnke some other meat dish In place of beef may not mean much to you. It does mean a great deal to our Allle8,iwho ai^ depending upon us partly for their beef supply.
niennt to he u food, Into a confection by heaping suKin- on it. Some sugar- lovers even pur sugar on cantaloupe. This Is like siirinkling sugar on candy, for cantaloupes contain a high percent¬ age of natural sweetening. Our Allies in the war need all the sugar we onn spare, and every spoonful YOU save lielps to supply this need.
P. S.—If you doubt that eating sugar in large quantities Is positively harm¬ ful to your health, ASK YOUB TAM- ILY PHYSICIAN.

FEEDING A SOLDIER IN YOUR HOME AND IN TRENCH

Onr hats off to' Texas, the largest state in tl»e Union. Since April 1.") the saving of wheat in that state has amounted to n<'arly 15.000,000 iwunds of flour, or enough to feed the Texas boys In tlie National Army, the regular Army, the Navy and Marine <'(ir|ts for an entire year. This is the splilt which will win the wnr. Think of thi.s, if ycm are one of the persons who soriie- tlmes feel a regret that the .«io-cnlled Wnr Hread has replaced the white broad since America entered the world struggle for democracy and freedom. Here's another thought: Sup|Ki.se you were dining in your home with a sol¬ dier nnd there were two slices of War Bread ilnd two slices of white bread on 4he platter, which kiiid of bread would you want the soldier to have? llie white bread, of course 1 In fuct, you would Insist that he take It and would feel Insulted If he refused. How glnd- ly, then, should you sacrifice whlto bread for the American soldier who la 3,000 miles away In the trenches and the soldiers of the other Hberty loving nations with whom he is fight¬ ing slioulder to shoulder:

Second    Inatallment    of    a     Popular Catechism of Food Doctrine.
Why is bread cheaper in England? Because the British government has subsidized the bread.
How much does it cost the British government?   $200,000,000 annually.

Whnt percentage of the brend baked in the I'nlted States Is bnked at home? Sixty per cent, is home bnkwl.
Why hns the Food Administration standardized the size of the bakery loaf of brend? To reduce the cost of bak¬ ing and distributing, to give the pub¬ lic u square deal and to flx competi¬ tion upon price.

BUND FRRNf'H .«»nT,mKRS ;» —Training of dogH to lead the i i blind hns become nn Important Institution where fhousnnds of nnimnls will evpnttinlly be pre¬ pared to lend xlahtle^s soldiers. The work Is being done nnder the direction of the military au¬ thorities by smnteurs who owned kennels of police and hunting dogs before the war.
Rerernl hundred poodles are ]J continuually trotting about the neighborhood and through the village, some of them "grndn- ates" of the big training school, leading "polhis" who left their sight in the trenches or In the battlefield. This real experi¬ ence puts the flnifhlng touch to the dog's education. The | [ training is divided Into two pe- riods, during the first of which the dog learns what Is called "carriage," or road behavior, ab- atlnence from quarrels and re¬ sistance to temptations to play¬ ing with other dogs, neglect of garbage boxes and butcher ahops. ¦ Next he Is taught to avoid obstacles and how to pick his way across the street with regard to vehiclus. Then he is turned over to a sightless hero of the war and kapt under obaervation for a few days to make sure that his training is ^ complete.
?      The bllnd^ man, too, reqntrea a   little  training   with  the  dog, for he finds it an entirely diffei^ ent matter to follow the string after  having  been   led  by   the arm.    Guided  by a person,  he ^ abandons himself to his condnc tor and loses all notion of self reliance, feeling that he Is domi-   '.\ nated by another will than his ©w».    Consequently   he  insuffl* clently  develops   hla   remnlning  g | senses to make  up for the one  £ i thnt is lacking.    Led hy a dog' which must be ordered, no mat¬ ter how efficient his training, he develops the sense of touch and *; hearing with  remarkable rapld- i- ity through the  necessity of re- J;  nialnlng constantly attentive.

Rut there is one thing left. We shall lenrn how love conquered that.
Betty Barstow was a very prettF girl, but spoiled. Perhaps that why she merely Innghed at .Teroma OlIbpTt, a young>superintendent In bar father's mill, when he fell foolishly, despel-ately, pitifully In love with h«r.
"Betty," he plead, "no one ever Iotc4 ns I do. Ton see It's the only thing I live for. Other people hnve been ll love, or thought they were, but It was nothing to this. Can't you feel It? Don't you see It, that I can't live wltll- out you? Tonll find It out some day, why can't you give me a little hopet"
Betty   laughed.     "Kventnally,   wliy not now?" she quoted from an adn tisement.
Jerome colored.   "You're cruel. Bat* ty.   You don't mean It, I know, but I hurts awfully.    I can't stand It longer.     I—I'm going  to enlist and hope I get killed."
But   Betty  had heard  that befi and It  worried her not.
He did enlist In the aviation coi That was the next thing Betty hea of hIro, and he was gone without aa ing good-by.
Then she grew thoughtful.   Perha she  had   been  a  little  unkind.    Sh really  hadn't  intended  to go so far] ^e hnd  only meant   to tease him little nnd  make It up the next  tlai( he came.
"He doesn't deserve any credit f< going,"   she  said  to   her  father   cm morning.   "He went because—hecan he was  cross abotit something, I bi lleve."

Henri Blln in La Nature gives some Instructions about their cultivation. The tubers should be planted as soon as the frost Is out of the ground, at a depth of from two to three Inches, in rows about 12 inches apart and about nine Inches between tubers. As soon as the shoots appear they are to be harrowed; in May they are to be earthed up and again In June. The cultivation is like that of potatoes.
They may be harvested by the end of October and the harvest will  last until the end of Mafch, for frost does not Injure the tubers at all, so they , short distance away from the farm may be left In the ground all winter. 1 Afst, In her motor car, nnd let them

But there were others who could her work and she wasn't satisfied, wanted something distinctive.

How Soldier Sacrificed Himself.
Corp. Homer Wheaton, the first Sy¬ racuse (N. Y.) boy to be killed In ac¬ tion in France, lost his life by throw¬ ing his body over o/ grenade knowing that It meant instant death to him, but In doing so saved the lives of four comrades near by. This Information was given by Sergt. Edward Creed of the lOlst regiment, who has Just re- tucned from the trenches.
Sergeant Creed says the five were In a dugout preparing for a raid In No Man's Land and were heavily armed with grenades. One fell to the floor, the pin dropping out, aud it would explode In five seconds. Corporal Wheaton without any hesitancy leaped forward and dropped on the bomb to .save his comrades. He made no ef¬ fort to grab It, but deliberately sac¬ rificed his life to protect th'e others. It exploded, instantly killing him.
