! NAN ViSITS EUROPE By DOROTHY DOUGLAS. Copyright. 1914. by the McClure New! paper Syndicate. When Nan went on her first \ isi- t Europe she had not the slightest hir that she would arrive in a land hrow into the horrors of war. She ha taken her trip across the ocean on long delayed holiday and had expccte to find only joy and merriment, fo .Aan naa a way 01 meeuiig uai'pmco half way wherever she went. But in Belgium she had ;led fror 'the ad\ance of the common enem into Paris and from the gay city sh had enjoyed a scant three weeks whe with, hundreds of other American she had scrambled onto safer En* lish soil. London was a haven of refuge t Kan, who had smelled the smoke c battle and heard the boom of dii tant fire. She had seen pitiful litt! families of Belgian refugees iieein along the roads from devastate homes, leaving behind them all beat ;ty and all hone and going they kne^ ;not where. But London was waiting with ope arms to receive all of the weary reft ,gees from the courageous little coui 'try, and Kan found herself again fatto face with the realities of wai There were no less than a dozen r these Belgians sheltered in nospitaui bomes in Norland square. It was in the acre of green par belonging to the square that Nan b< came acquainted with little Jea Leman, a Belgian child who had bee brought over from the J vastated cit of Louvain. Jean's mother was a French lad? who was sleeping beneath a flowe garden in Belgium. Her father wa a soldier, Maj. Albert Leman. From that moment on Jean an Nan became fast friends. The romped and played and went on Ion 'bus rides through the city and ou Into country lanes. When the wounded soldiers bega to arrive in trainloads, Nan could n more have left the city of Londo than she could have cut off her ow right hand. She simply had to r< main. Something held her, she kne1 not what. It was during the sixth week of th war that Nan discovered little Jea Leman's photograph on the front pas of the Sketch. Major Leman wa anxiously seeking news of his littl girl and had asked the papers to a: sist him in the search. Nan did nc watt to have her breakfast but wet quickly Into the boarding house nes ;door in search of Jean. Nan explained as swiftly as poss ble In her improved French that Da< dy Soldier was in London and that h was looking for his little girl. "We will go down this mornin when you have eaten your nice breal fast," Nan told her and went off t ascertain the location of the King E( ward VII hospital and the quickes way of getting there. Jean chatted incessantly on th Inurnpv down: she was so excite that Nan felt her own calm engu her as if for the purpose of steadyin the child. Consequently, when the arrived at the hospital and ai proaobed the big Belgian office whose head was swathed in bandage and one arm pinned in like fashio to his side, it was Nan who displave a most wonderful calm. Major Lema broke down emotionally ? perhap more than he had during the entlr weeks of fierce fighting?when Jea was swept intd his uninjured arn Over her head, which he held agalns his breast, he looked at Nan and mad awift apology for having converse In a foreign tongue. "One is apt to forget convention i: -moments of great emotion," he addec "In a moment I will thank you fo having cared for my little Jean." "You are not going away from m again, are you?" Jean was asking he father. 1 "Yes, dearie, as soon as this arm i better, and the more often Miss Nai ny brings you down to see mo th sooner I can get back to help the sol diers at the front." So it was that during the long hour of convalescence Nan came to kno^ love. The emotion was so great an wonderful that Nan was shocked a her own weakness before the attack. Jean did not know what her fathe and Nan were talking about, nor wh her father swept Nan so suddenly int his arms, but she smiled for the pit ture was pleasing and Jean knew tha all was well. Light Humor. In the latter half of the eighteen! century one of the members of a llttl scientific society in Liverpool, Enf land, laid a curious wager. He bet brother scientist that he would read newspaper by the light of a farthin dip at a distance of 30 feet The B. S finding the feat difficult at even a sizt 'of the distance, cheerfully accepts I the wager. The layer merely coated the insid o ah allow wnnrian hnx with ftlODin jpieces of looking glass, so as to for] ,a concave lens, placed behind his fartl lng dip and readily deciphered th small print at the stipulated distance The experiment was witnessed by Liverpool dockmaster. He was a thin] ing man and saw great possibilities i this learned Jest He stralghtwa adapted the principle to lighthouse r quirements and forthwith the model reflex light, with its miles of reflecte range and untold life-saving power aorang into being. < 1 LygTOywgm f|| "Cured" | t. i| Mrs. Jay McGee, of Steph- M t z.
