Just three months ago she had left home against her widowed mother's wishes, to come to the city. Had not one of her flattering friends told her she had great talent?. And after that remark how could an artist remain any longer in that dead town of Mld dleville? But this day she thought quite dif ferent. It was spring. time and she longed for the fresh, sweet-scented air of the country, for her mother, her home and, perhaps, some one else. Her last resources was this, to pawn her precious raiment, the money pay ing toward the lessons at the studio. Day after day she had tried to secure a position, as a sketch artist, If with those 30 days she only could find a po sition to free herself of that pawn ticket How she hated and despised herself for having done such an act Her dear mother had embroidered it herself; to gether they had planned and designed the colors, until It had been the admi ration of all her girl friends. Besides, It held such a lingering memory about it that last evening she had spent with Ralph, how sweet and bit ter it had been.

One patted her hair and pulled at . a stray curl, while, the other pulled her belt down in'front and turned sidewise, unconsciously eyeing herself with satisfaction. A young clerk came smilingly to ward the table. "What will you have this evening?" he asked. The men looked at their wives ques tioningly. The woman in white finish ed her sentence and illustrated it by cutting off her head and both arms at the elbows in pantomime while the ene in blue nodded a comprehensive reply- BoLh looked up at the clerk in a slightly dazed way, as though his ap pearance was an intrusion, and then leaned back in their chairs. Each felt the back of her head, and one read justed a corab with both hands. Then they looied at each other, then at their husbands and at the clerk, as If for inspiration.

"Yes, sir," replied the clerk as he turned again to the women. "I don't see how any one can drink root beer," observed the older woman, shaking her head. "It is so insipid."

Plans for after-war colonization of American soldiers on the cut-over lands of the South will shortly be taken up with the: Federal authorities at Washing ton, where Congress Is already con sidering the question.

"What will the nation' do to assist its heroes of foreign battlefields! .to return to peaceful occupations under conditions favorable alike to them 'and, to the body politic?. - "If history of all great wars; includ ing the war between the . stages, re peats itself, a large number . of th returning soldiers, regardless of pre vious occupation, will go to the land; and the coastal plains section of the South, with its millions of acres of idle agricultural lands, offers the one big opportunity for the soldier's home stead, the one big opportunity for tlje South to develop itself,' and in that development to perform a great na tional service," says Mr. Ucker. "It is a matter of common knowl edge," he said, "that at the close of the war between the states, thousands of the soldiers on both sides, accus tomed to the outdoor life of the army, losing places In. various employments, sought homesteads' on the free pub lic domain in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, the Dakotas and other Western states- "That England is anticipating a similar movement of her, soldiers at the close of the war is shown by the fact," says Mr. Ucker, "that Sir Rider Haggard was appointed at the out break of the war by that government to make an intensive study of agricul tural conditions In all parts of the British empire, with view to provid ing ready-made homesteads for her soldiers after cfemobllzation of her army."
