O "Why Has This Thing Com* Upon Us ?nd Our Ohlldrant" Question on Lip* of Belgian Refugees. Along the straight, glistening road, through a dim (trend** of drooping trees, u tunnel of faded green aud guld, dripping with the misty ruin of u late October afternoon, a human tide was flowing, not awlftly but sure ly. with the patient, pathetic slowness of weary feet and uuinb bralu* aud heavy hearts. Yet they were In haste, all of these old men and women, fathers aud moth* era and little children; they were fly 'lng as fast as they could, either away from something that they feared pr toward something that they desired. .For that was the strange thing? t'he tide on the road flowed' In two di rections. Some fled away from ruined homes to escape the perils of war. Some fled back to escape the desolation of exile. Out all were fugitives, anxious to be gone, starving .along the road one way or the other, and making no more speed than a creeping snail's pace of unutterable fatigue. ? I saw -many separate things In the tide, Henry Van Pyke writes* in Scrib ner's. A boy atraluing to push a wheelbar row with his pale mother in It. and his ^wo little Alsters at his side. A peasaut with his two girls driving their lean, dejected cows .back to some unknown pasture. A bony horse tug ging at . a wagon heaped high with bedding and household gear, on top of which ..sut ,the wrinkled grandmother with the tiniest baby in her arms, while the rest of the family stumbled alnnKslde ? and the cat was curled up on the softest coverlet in the wagon* Two panting dogs, with red tongues hanging out and splayed feet clawing the road, tugging a heavy-laden cart while the master pushed behind and thie woman ' polled at t^e shaft. Strange, antique vehicles crammed with passengers. Couples and groups and sometimes larger companies of fpot travelers. Now and then a soli tary men or woman, old and shabby, bundle on back, eyes on the road, plodding through the mud and the mist, under the high archway of yel lowing leaves. ? All these distinct pictures I saw, yet it was all one vision ? a ylslon of humanity with its dumb companions In flight ? infinitely slow, painful, piti ful flight I I saw no tears, I heard no cries of complaint. But beneath the dumb and patient h^ste on all those dazed faces I qaw a question : '"What have we dqne? Why has this thing come upon Us and our chil dren?" Somewhere I heard a trumpet blown. The spikes on the helmets of a little troop of soldiers flashed for an Instant, far down the sloppy road. Through the humid dusk came the dull,?dlstaut booming of the unseen guns of con quest in Flanders. That was the only answer. Fatal Engine Fumes. The poisonous character of the fumes arising from a gasoline engine may be appreciated hy the following: extract from a recently published 1 hook. "If a gasoline engine, produc ing B cubic feet of CO per minute w;ere allowed to run in a tightly-closed gar age that was 12 feet high, 15 feet long * a# d 10 feet wide ; that Is, having a ca pacity of 2,750 cubic feet, it coUtd pro- , auce an atmosphere, if the latter were thoroughly milled, containing about 1< percent CO In about five minutes.

Freeze to the house that guarantees you an honest dollar's worth for a dollar. This is the only basis On which a n^rcantile business can stand.
