Ann Morgan was trying to get hold of herself and finding it tho hardest proposition she IuhI over attempted. It wan u struggle to reach out for com mon sense after the blind unreason of affection, and there wan nothing to help except thu newness of tho life about iter. It way an If she had gone buck to tho very beginning of things, in a way she had. She aud her father were living outside a French village in a weather-beaten house across the bor der from New Hrunswlck, with a cook stove, two bevla, a rough table and a couple of chairs. Her father was like a boy in this environment and did the cooking, while Ann made a determined effort to find a glimmer of light, other wise called sanity, in the darkness thai oucoiupassed her. When she reached St. Attegat. dur ing tho early days of June, she had been too indifferent ^o care for the qunlutucsa of her surroundings. iler lather iiad been alarmed about her health. and the family physician, un able to discover cuuko for her Illness. 1 1 ?t (I Hent her where he knew the air wuh sweet and pure. As she nil i listless under the shadow of a sugar maple. Ann thought of his words. She had honestly tried to bring herself Into^toueh with the life about her. but health was as yet too far away for her to have any other feeling than one of Indifference. Iler lite was primitive in the ex treme. She was miles from a ralb road and the mall came but once a month. Slitf and tier father were de pendent upon it neighbor. Mr. Chandler, for (hut ami he bad brought it for the llrst time that evening. There were no letters. .She had expected none, but the longing of the spirit cunnot always be subjected to pride and there were times, like the piesent. when It seemed' as If nothing mattered but the sight of the man she cared for. And she had given him up. The cruelty of It was that she had learned she was burv the means to an end. had stumbled upon the knowledge within a week of her wedding day. In the Corcoran art gallery she had paused beside the entrance to one of the rooms when the murmur of voices caught and held her attention. "No. 1 do not love her." she heard. "Fortunately I am Interested In no other woman.* else It might go hard with me. Iler father Is wealthy. She is rich In her own tight and I will be able to gratify ambitions hitherto mere ly dreams." As he finished speaking two men en me face to face with Ann and she looked directly Into the eyes of the man she had expected to marry. Pride eanie to her nld In her elTort to adjust herself to her i^w outlook upun ; life, but In the end she was bundled olT to St. Attigat. and here she met Mr. Chandler, with whom her father found congenial companionship. lie had a way of watching her that was disconcerting, and this. In time, made i her conscious s he was not good to look at. She became oversensitive about her lack of color and one dav rum maged through her trunk for her van Ity box and was chagrined not to lind It. j '1 his Incident marked a change. Im perceptibly the outdoor life was ttutk- 1 Ing a difference in Ann. She titok long walks and would stroll oft for hours alone. One evening -he did not return. ^Chandler, with her father, found her on the edge of the river ? with a twisted ankle and dislocated shoulder. She had slipped from the ; rock where she had been fishing, she , told them later. When they discovered her Mr. Mor- 1 Kiin promptly went ro pieces. She was ' all he had. and if anything happened to her lie was of no more use than a ha by. Mr. Chandler carried her home with about as much feeling as If she i had been a bundle of rag?. she thought. In the moment when a glimmer of rea son made her try to recover her dignity and slip from his arms. It was then he gave her a little shake and told her to lie still. Just the merest Jingle, hut It sent needles of flame all over her. and she knew nothing more until she was on her bed with the two bending over her. Between them she was made com fortable; yet she was not comfortable In her mind. She could not under stand the odd look In Mr. Chandler's ey?s when she had first oj>ened her own. and now. after a month of Inac tivity. she was still puzzled. She had not seen It since. He Rave her under standing and pleasant friendship, but that was all. And she had begun to care. The thought troubled her. Was she lacking In constancy that she could so soon forget one man for another? But as she looked back upon those feverish days, she told herself she had been In love with love. That, she knew, was not the real thing, and she had discov ered this, here In the midst of na | ture-? had learned to distinguish be tween the false and the true, and with all her heart she prayed that the thLpg that makes life perfect would come to her. And It came unexpectedly, as so often happens. She was nlon*, trying for the first time to walk about the house. cllnKing to whHtever ofTered sup port. when she heard footsteps. Turn ing hastily, she saw Mr. Chandler standing In the doorway with anus out stretched. Me said no word and she did not spenk. but with shining eyes and heightened color she limped : strnl^ht Into them sod hid her fact agulust nl? coat sleeve. | (Copyright 1*17. by tb? MrCluM N?vcp* r per Syndicate) ~ ? : ? Soldier Boys Use the Regulation Blue Envelopes. o n... ? Must 8<0n Certificate on Outside That Content* Are Personal or Fam ily Mattere Only. The blue envelope hus made a big hit with Kummy. It Ih the one feature of the array's fluid censorship regula tions to which ho gives a kind word. Not that the censorship Inhibitions are unreasonable or Irkfcoine especially to tilm, but boon use It is the soldier's proverbial and Inalienable right to "beef" against tho censor, writes a correspondent with the American ex peditions ry forco in France, > The provision regulating the blue envelopes rends as follows : "In order that men may forward personal or family letters without the necessity of having them read by o? fleers knowu to thorn personally, such letters tuay be inclosed In tho author ized blue envelope and sent directly to the \bnse ceusor through United States army postal service." Only authorized envelopes supplied to organizations at the rate of one per man per week may be used. More than one letter, however, may he for warded in the envelope, but ull the letters must be from the sume soldier who signs a certificate on the outside of the envelope to tho effect that the letters Inclosed relate to personal or family matters only and do not refer to military subjects. "It's n great stunt," said one dough hoy. "You see if mo and tho missus want to have a little tiff on paper I don't want the captain to be knowin' all about it. What do I care if some fellow miles away, whom I'll never see in my life, reads It. I guess it will seem like a little hit of home sweet homo to him !" Or, as another put it: "You know any time a fellow writes his girl, of course he has to gush a little. Maybe spring a little poetry and sometimes, by gosh, you mean it. Believe me, you get mighty lonesome over here hearing a lot of chattering you don't know*nothin' about. And when her picture is lookin' down at you from the wall and the moon is helpln' out the candle to light the room and you get thlnkin' of the night you said good-by, it's powerful helpln' to sit down and write her all about It" The blue envelope Is a development of this war. It Is new In our service. The French and English,, though, have been xislng It for quite a while, and as we have adopted In many respects tho censorship regulations of the English army, the lady In blue, as the envelope has come to he called, came with them. Today she Is the one popular member of her family. No Food in Seventy Hours. Not n bite of food for 70 hours was tho terrible experience of a native who was admitted to tho Krugersdorp hospital (South Africa). The man had been severely burned about the Ie?:s in a tire in an outlying village, and with t ho other Injured persons had been placed on a passing freight train to be taken to the nearest hos pital. The man pulled a tarpaulin over himself, and so, when the others were removed, he was overlooked. Tho train arrived at Krugersdorp during a Saturday evening, and the truck was shunted Into rhe station yard. The whole of Sunday and Monday the native remained without food or wa ter, under the tarpaulin, and he was only discovered on Tuesday afternoon when a checker went his rounds. Rail way men were on the point of placing mealies on the truck when they no ticed a movement under the sail, and the native, semiconscious nnd partial ly demented, waa found unable to move much. On close examination it was found that his lower limbs were in a terrible state, and he waa re moved to the hospital. Japanese Make Paper Clothes. Underclothing made of finely crisped or grained paper is manufactured in Japan. After the paper has been cut to a pattern the different parts are sewn together and hemmed, and the places where the buttQnholes are to be formed are strengthened with cal ico or linen. The paper is very strong and at tba same time very flexible. After a garment has been worn a few hours it will interfere with the perspir ation of the body no more than do gar ments made of cotton fabric. The paper is not sized, nor is it impermea ble. After becoming wet the paper is difficult to tear. When an endeavor is made to tear it by hand it presents almost as much resistance as the thin skin for mnklng gloves. Certainly No Harm.
