LAUGHED AT REAL HEROISM
Soldier Insists Authorities Conferred
Decoration for Deed That Was
Merely Second Rate..
He had come back with the croix de
guerre, but he would no.t talk about
how he won it. 6f course his family
and friends knew the formal citation,
but they wanted him to tell them the
details, and he modestly and persistently
evaded them.
"I think it's simply silly," declared
an irate cousin in her teens. "What's
the use of ducking and dodging, and
pretending you're not a hero, when
you know perfectly well you are?"
The worm turned. "Yes, of course 1
know I am," he assented coolly. "The
trouble is, they didn't give me my
cross for the right thing. Do you expect
a fellow to tajk about his heroism
when he gets a decoration for doing
what lots of other fellows did who
weren't lucky enough to be noticed,
and then finds the bra\*est thing he
ever did, or ever expects to do, treated

I was a hero once. Before we were
ordered abroad, I was invited to luncheon
by my colonel's daughter. Now,
you know I am a country boy from an
inland state. It was the first luncheon
I'd ever attended?and the first time
I'd ever been served raw oysters. I
hate shellfish, and when I saw those
six, soft, slimy, slithery horrors set before
me I nearly fainted. But I didn't
know whether anything much was to
follow or not; and I couldn't decline
a main dish under the eye of my
hostess. I shuddered with disgust. I
wasn't sure they would .go down; I
feared they might come up. But?1
ate those oysters, all six, and smiled
as I ate them! She told me so two
years afterward, when I confessed.
Now, I call that true heroism. But it
wasn't what I got the cross for."
"Maybe," said the saucy young
thing in her teens, "it's that you're going
to get the girl for."
"No," sighed the unappreciated
hero, "she agrees with the rest of you
and General Mangin. She only iaugh'j

Death Took Old and Young.
During the war the London Times,
either wittingly or unwittingly, published
innumerable items about: the
very old men and women in the British
empire- who were dying off. Their
great age. their longevity, formed a
melancholy contrast to the slaughter
of youth then going on in Europe. Dur
ing six months in 191S, .SI2 persons
over one hundred years old died in the
British isles, but the figures of young
men who fell during that time before
the $uns of the enemy and who died
with inf'jenza mounted toward a million.

A VAGABOND LOVE !
By MILDRED WHITE.
? ' -g
Gloria opened the casement and step
ped out into the pillared veranda. Pres
enily. when Aunt Prudence was not
looking, she would fly across the lawn,
like a bird released from its cage, then
?then she would seek him. Honestly,
j * to herself, the girl admitted it.
; When one could tind, by just walk '
ing down to the bridge, all the joy
of pent tip dreams, why not dare a
j little, for that compensating -pleasure?
! There wps much to endure in her
.Lied, monotonous life; compensation
was deserved.

The girl's eyes softened in anticipation.
For a little while he would pretend
not to hear her step, or be aware of
her presence. Then, suddenly, all
eagerness he would turn with his dear
welcoming smile.
She could see in fancy, the graceful
disorder of his attire?the velveteen
jacket, the soft shirt with its
j collar opened at the throat where he
j held so caressingly his violin.
Gloria thrilled anew, at the thought .
of the dark eyes bent upon her, as he
swayed the bow. "A song of love to
you," he would say, while the low music
which followed filled her with
: emotion.
"A vagabond," the villagers called
him, "a poor adventurer living by his
wits."
Their ridicule and mockery stung
i her cruelly. He was her wonderman,
j whom none save herself could under|
stand. Some day, she meant to run
j away with him, to be his wife when
i he should ask her, sharing willingly
j his care-free life. She knew that trying
to influence Aunt Prudence or her own
. father tr? her viPW-noint. WOuld be Un
availing.
How strange the girl thought
with a sad little smile, that this reck!
less romance should end her sheltered
girlhood. No young man of the neigh!
borhood, however promising, had been
j allowed to call.
j "His daughter must make no unwise
attachments," her father decreed.
Gloria happened to meet the stranger
one morning on the rustic bridge.
| At her glance of surprise toward the
I old violin which he carried, the man
{ motioned her silently, as one ac|
customed to be obeyed, to a bench on
! the bridge; she had sat there?in a
J sort of a dreaiu, while he played,
j When she thanked the man primly for
I his music, he had laughed carelessly,
and bade her "come again if she liked
! it" And Gloria the prudent, the guarded?went
again.
Almost against her will it seemed at
first?the music lured and drew her.

natural thing. And one day naturally i
also, It seemed, this roaming musician |
spoke of his love for her and yier!
heart went out to him in return.
Many hours of unhappiness the girl j
spent, her cheek pressed against her j
wet pillow; so useless was it to strug- J
gle against this charmed fate, soj
grievously would it hurt those nearest j
to her. v -\

man's idle irresponsibility, making
shift for himself, in an old shack by j
the water's edge. Crude was his furni- i
ture, they said, and he must be poor.!
There were days together when he
failed to come in his worn velveteens
to the village for supplies.
"A little cracked" these same people
considered him, lying alone in the
marshes at night, making weird
sounds on his violin, and this was the
man her successful fathhr and conventional
aunt, must hear of as?her
husband.
r "Must!" Gloria whispered passionately.
For life without this one man's
tenderness?would be to her unbearable.
When she found Fiim again at the
bridge, and was folded close in his
arms, Gloria sobbed out her story. Some
one had hinted about their meetings,
her father was sending her away?to
visit a cousin in the city, hoping^ that
absence would obliterate her fancy foi
him.
The "vagabond" comforted her with
gentle words and caressing touch.
"'I will come to you," he said at
last, "and you shall marry me."
So Gloria went away. She wondered,
troubled, how her lover might send
word to her, and where he would ask
her to meet him. The cousin, of course,
must not know.
It was the suggestion of Aunt Prudence
that some desirable man be
found to take her niece about and by
way of comparison to bring her to
a sense of former folly.
So with this new escort Gloria was
sent to the theatre. It was to be an
evening of music, the young man told
her, with "notables" participating.
Traynor, with his speaking violin, was
alone worth hearing, his imitation of
bird calls being wonderful.
His companion was a listless sort
of girl?the escort thought. When
Traynor came 011 the stage with his
violin, his opinion quickly changed.
v *
Breathless, her eyes sninmg, wiun?
"leaned forward. At the end of the performance.
the obliging and perplexed
young man was abruptly dismissed,
while no less a person than tlie celebrity
possessively took his place.
Out in the starlight Gloria faced
hiih.
"You lived like a tramp out there,"
she accused, "and you never told me
who you were."
Traynor laughed happily. 4
"I was learning and relaxing," he
said. "And?it was so sweet to have
you lu'.c me for myself."

FAMILY MARKED BY ODDITY
London Newspaper Tells of Strange
Fate That Pursued Group Botfc
l|j Life and Death.
There lived at Ipswich in the reign
of William III a family known as the
"odd family," a most appropriate
name, as the following facts prove,
London Answers states:
Every event, good, bad fr indifferent,
came to that family in an odd
year or an odd day of the month, and
evfrry person was odd in manner or
behavior or appearance. Even the
letters of their Christian names always
amounted to an odd number.
The father and mother were Peter
and Rahab; their seven children (all
boys) bore the names of E)avid, Ezekiel,
James, Jonas. Matthew, Roger
and Solomon. The husband possessed
only one leg and his wife only one
arm; Solomon was blind in his left
eye and Roger lost his right in an
accident; James had his left ear torn
off in a quarrel. Matthew's left hand
had but three fingers.
Jonas .had a stump foot, David was
humpbacked and Ezekiel was 6 feet 2
inches at the age of nineteen. Every
one of the children had red hair, notwithstanding
the fact that the father's
hair was jet black and the mother's
white.
Strange at birth, all died as
c+rflncpl v
^"Ov??7
The father fell into a deep sawpit"
and was killed, the wife died five days
after from starvation. Ezekiel enlisted,
was wounded in 23 places, but recovered.
Roger, James, Jonas, David
and Matthew died in, 1713 in six different
places on the same day; Solomon
and Ezekiel were drowned in the
Thames in 1723.

Of the twp old Hawaiian idols lately
found concealed in the earth at Hookaupu,
Paukukalo, one, a female idol, is
in a fairly good state of preservation.
The idol is supposed to be that of Ki- ,
hawahine, the Undine of Maui myths.
Her haunts are the springs at Paukukalo,
the Kauaha pond, and the matchless
pools in the wooded glens
around Pilholo. Makawao.
The legends about her compare with ,
those of the German fairy folklore, i
and around the charms of her person
as she sits combing her wealth of
golden tresses at the edge of some 1
bathing pool is woven many a halfforgotten
Mauri folk tale.
In some of the latest ones she is
reputed to have lured two haoles at
different times on a merry chase only

The Cynical Actress.
The late Oscar Ilaramerstein believed
that the actresses should lead
a pure life.
"Cynical, disillusioned actresses are
no good," he once said at a dinner.
"I remember an actress of mine some
years ago who fell down badly in a
part I'd given her. ,
" 'Look here,' I said the morning
after she fell down, 'all the critics say
you don't show half enough emotion
In the scene where your husband
leaves you never to return.'
"The cynical, disillusioned creature
gave a tart laugh.
"'Oh, I don't, don't I?' she sneered.
'Well, look here, Mr. Hainmorstein,
I've had six husbands leave me never ',
to return.- and I guess I know how
much emotion ought to be shown in
such circumstances as well as anybody.'

Safe Light for Miners.
Nowadays the up-to-date miner carries
a package of electricity about
whllp nndorcrround. It is & ~
small storage battery attached to the
back of his belt, and is connected by
a cord with a lamp fastened to the
front of his cap. The lamp, provided
with a reflector, throws quite a flood
of light in front of the miner. But its'
chief advantage is absolute safety. In
olden days miners (who must, of
course, have light) carried about with
them open-flame lamps. These caused
innumerable disastrous accidents
through ignition of coal dust or gases.
Sir Humphry Davy's invention of a
safety lamp whose flame was protected
by a wire gauze saved an immense
number of lives. It is iu common use
today, but the electric mine lamp is
, beiter and more convenient.
