"With fear and trembling."
"Because ?"
For answer Uoyco Livingston took

lie had reason to say "Dear wom

veritable mother to him. The worst
of It wns, It struck him, she was post
tlvely proud of hlrn. Ills Juvenile
plcndllloes she had never .chlded. As
he grew older nnd some of his wild
capers came to her notice, she passed
them by as the evanescent nnd un-
nvoldnble ebullition of growing man
hood. Itoyce felt thoroughly ashamed
of himself.

strictly."
Itoyce was not destined to see his
nunt when he arrived at Ferndale the
next morning. The old family servant
met him at the door and greeted him
with genuine pleasure In her face. She
was Mary Barker, true as steel to her
mistress and loyal to all of her kin.'
The house was In sterling order, a
royal breakfast lay spread, specially
prepared for one, and he obviously
the honored guest. When she showed
him Inter to his room he, found. It
newly furnished, n box of cigars on
n stnnd, everything ncccsslblo for
comfort and luxury, a check on his
dressing table for one hundred dollars
nnd beside It n little stack of paper
Blips inclosed by a rubber band.
They were his college bills nnd all
marked "Paid." A little note said:
"Enjoy yourself after your hard term.
I shall not see you today, ns I am con
fined to my room." Itoyce was over
come. Not n word of reproach, the
way.clenred for perfect freedom from
care or" annoyance. lie swallowed a
big lump In his throat and registered
a renewed solemn vow to mend his
reckless wnys.
But youth is youth and loneliness n
bore, nnd towards afternoon Itoyce got
tired of rending nnd strolling In the
garden and lounging about.
"I hope my nunt Isn't sick, Mary,"
he remarked to the old servant.
"Oh, bless you, now!" was promptly
responded. "You see, Oils Is the twenty-eighth."
"Of what?" demanded Itoyco bo
wlldercdly. "Of June. Why, don't you know?
Oh, I've put my foot in It! I
thought" nnd Mary darted away,
flushed nnd discomposed.
"A mystery here I" soliloquized
Itoyce, and then forgot all about It
when he reached the village billiard
room, met some old village chums,
went to n traveling show that hap
pened to bo In town, and started'for
home at nearly midnight
A night key had been trustfully left
oj) his dresser by bhs confiding aunt,
nt Itoyce counted on getting to his
room quietly. When ho enmo to search
for It, however, he found thnt he had
lost It somewhere from his pocket, He
recalled old boyish days and a cer
tain low window at the rear of the
house. Itoyce started around tho wing.
Then ho halted In sheer amazement,
lie had never known Its upper room
to be occupied, It hnd been kept al
ways locked up. It was occupied now.
A shade at on open window was flut
tering In the. strong night breeze and
he could see plainly Into the lighted
room beyond.
A remarkable picture met his per
plexed vision. His nunt sat In the
center of the room. She was .arrayed
In tho garb of a bride. Veil, wreath,
dress, filmy, almost cerle-llke. she was
garbed ns if for a wedding ceremony.
Except thnt the delicate filaments of
nppnrcl were old, yellow, In places
frayed out and torn, she might bo a
bride awaiting tho call to tho altar.
She sat rigid, though graceful, her
set sad eyes, her whole pose ono of
expectancy, ns though each moment
sho nntlctpntcd the arrival of her
bridesmaids. Then tho curtain flapped
close and tho strange startling pic
ture was shut froin view. Royco
rubbed, his eyes, ho mnrvclcd. no
reached ,hls room by the old surrepti
tious route. Then ho toy nwake, grop
ing vainly In his mind for a key to
this uncanny mystery.
Ills nunt greeted him nt tho table
next morning, hej" old gracious, kind
ly self. Sho was still a beautiful wom
an, under forty, nnd not n trnco of her
faco that she had been keeping a
weary vigil that surely commemorated
some vivid event In tho long gone pnst.
And for tho first time thnt afternoon
Itoyco learned of the romance In the
life of his nunt Ten years ngo she
had been engaged to. n man named
Itolfe Gregory. Tho marriage day was
set, tho evening arrived. She wns nil
ready for the ceremony when n note
came from Gregory. lie bade her
farewell 'forever ho could not marry
her. He would love her to tho end of
life, but n great .barrier had been
raised ngnlnst nil future happiness.
And Aunt Mnrcla still loved bcr re
creant lover, thus Itoyce reasoned, else
why this nnnunl vigil, remindful of
the expectedly most happy moment of
her life? Itoyco began nn Investiga
tion. He located Itolfe Gregory in a
city five hundred miles nwnj. Ho de
voted the money Aunt Mnrcla had
given him to ferreting out this man.
Itoyco found Itolfe Gregory lending
n lonely bachelor life, n sod, cheerless
man of forty. Ho formed his acquaint
ance, ho lenrned his secrets.
On tho eve of his wedding bis father
was confronted with a prosecution for
fraud In his business. In no way could
It be nvcrted snve through money. In
no wny could tho money be secured
except through Gregory's marriage to
an heiress who loved him. He made
the sacrifice, his wife lived two years.
Since then he hnd lived a hermit life
existence, ashamed to seek' again the
only woman he had ever loved.
"There Is someone to see you In
the parlor, Aunt Marcla," Itoyce said
one day, 'n broken, penitent man with
n sad, snd story to tell. Yon will
listen to It?"
"Is It Itolfe Gregory?" she spoke,
nnd sweetly, patiently.
"Yes, Aunt Marcla."
"I knew ho would come back to me
In time," she sntd simply.
He hnd come hack to remain.
Their tears mingled and then their
klssest Time hnd not soured them.
It hnd mellowed them, had mnde them
patient nnd forgiving, nnd a future
hovered.
It was a future hallowed by another
Issue: the regeneration of Itoyce Liv
ingston. He hnd done n grand act In
bringing those two starving souls to
gether, nnd, somehow, a new ambition
and manlier Impulses came Into his
young life.
CHINESE DISLIKE SOLDIERS
Unlike the Japanese They Have a Con
tempt for the Professional
Fighting Man.
The well-known olden dislike of,
even contempt for, soldleps common
to the Industrious masses of China,
In town as in country. Is based on
their experience that the" soldier Is n
loafer most of the time and n terror to
the country when war Is In the nlr.
They have not glorified valor or quite
grasped the benuty, not to say the
duty, of dying for one's country, al
though when they do fight they face
death with n great Indifference.
Discussing this phase of the Chinese
character, Yono Noguchl, tho Japanese
writer, says Jn the course of n recent
nrtlclo, according to East and West:
"This Chinese hatred of soldiery busi
ness or the encouragement of effemi
nate Indolence Is well explained In n
famous ballad written by Po Chu-i
called 'The Arm Broken yid Man.'
This old man was not Informed till
he received In his youth an order to
become a soldier and Intentionally
broke his arm In order to bo excused
from such a duty. Although his arm
pained badly on a cold or rainy day,
he was glad to be thankful for It, for
while his friends had been killed In
the battlefield, he alone could enjoy
n long life. What a different sentiment
from that of us Japanese, whose loyal
ty to the flag and the Imperial house
Is taught to begin with the slighting
of our own lives."
Didn't Want to Wish.
"Infernal hot day, nnd makes mo In
fernally thirsty," growled the colpnel,
sinking Into tho club's biggest arm
chair one afternoon. "Tell them to

knew tho old gentleman's hnblts, but
the ancient warrior was equal to the
occasion. "Sir," ho.sald, fixing tho sug
gestor with a fiery glare, "I said thirsty
not dirty."

Rlchter.
Here is told how the
systems of Switzer
land and Australia
are conducted, and
how the. people of
France look upon it.
What is proposed for
the United States
HE Swiss army Is n citizen army. That
means every Swiss citizen Is liable to
do military service If ho Is physically
nnd mentally fit. This accounts for tho
fact that Switzerland, with n popula
tion of 3,SOO,000, maintains the lnrgest
armed force In Europe proportionately.
France conies second, nnd Germany
nnd Sweden third."
Thus runs nu exposition of the Swiss
mllltnry system, as prepared by tho official Swiss
bureau In tho United States for tho American
Defense society.
"The-Swiss military forces," tho article goes on,
"consist of three different divisions. These are
tho auszug, landwehr nnd Inndsturm. To tho
auszug belong the young men from twenty to
thirty-two years of age; to the landwehr, tho sol
diers from thirty-three to forty years of age, and
to tho landsturm the men from forty-one to forty
eight years ..of age.
"Swiss citizens who nre unnblo to do their mll
ltnry service because of residence In a foreign
country, have to "pay n regufar military tax.
Previous to the war this tax was six francs per
man per year, but It has .been doubled, temporar
ily, on account of the nation's great expenses
brought on by the war. In addition to this mod
est tax there Is also a taxation at tho rate 1.00
francs per 1,000 francs of private fortune and, In
certain cases, on every 1,000 francs of half an
Inheritance coming to n man from his parents or
grandparents. The maximum military tax in
normal times is 3,000 francs yearly. The mnxl
mum under temporary war taxation is 0,000
francs. At the age of
eight years the Swiss
schoolboy begins his
course of physical 'train
ing, which Is gradually
developed until he Is six
teen years old. Then
come the cadet corps, In
which tho boys undergo
all the preliminary exer
cises and where they re
ceive thorough and sys
tematic instruction in
rifle shooting. The rifle
used in tho cadet corps
Is, of course, a smaller
and lighter model than
the regulation army rifle.
Rifle practice for the
youngsters Is accorded
in regular military fashion, Including range ana
field work. Preparatory work for young men be
tween the nges of sixteen nnd twenty years in
eludes athletics, marching, care and use of the
sen-ice rifle, and target practice. These prelim
inary training courses are taken usually by young
men who hope to win commissions in tho regular
array.
"Military Instruction Is given nt tho expense of
the Swiss Confederation by n special Instruction
corps. Recruiting schools are established In dif
ferent cities throughout the land, and while there
Is no choice In the service, each man Is at liberty
to decide whether he would like to belong to the
Infantry or cavalry. Cavalry soldiers generally
have to provide their own horses.
"Men Intended for the Infantry havo to serve
for 05, days In a school for recruits; cavalrymen
;have to servo for- 00 days ; field and mountain ar
tillerymen 75 days, engineers, 75 days; transport
men, 42 days, and ambulance men, CO days. The
cavalry and all the forces of the auszug have to
take a yearly repetition course lasting 11 days.
Landwehr forces now have their exercises every
four years. Special courses and training natural
ly are required In the cases of soldiers who are
desirous of advancing to higher grades.
"Regular rifle practice each year is required of
every soldier, and If a man does not nttaln the
required mark ho Is ordered' to do special prac
tice work under tho supervision of Instructors.
These rigid rules, nnd tho natural enthusiasm of
tho Swiss for rifle shooting, nre responsible for
tho unrivaled position they hold In the world ns
crack shots. There Is hardly a village which has
not Its rifle club, and local, cantonal and federal
shooting matches are held nt regular Intervals.
"Switzerland was able to retain for the sev
enteenth tlrao out of 18 the world championship,
on tho occasion of the rifle-shooting contest In
Vlborg, Holland, in 1014. It may bo remembered
that In 1913 the Swiss were victors at Camp
Perry, Ohio. The ono world's contest they have
lost was held In Turin, Italy, In 1898.
"In tho Swiss army every man Is allowed to
keep his rifle and uniform nt home, and when tho
mobilization order Is given, tho entire army can
bo ready for action within tho shortest notice.
Tho yearly inspection of armament and equip
ment at which every soldier, without exception,
has to appear,' Is an effective preventive against
.any posstblo neglect In that line. However, there
Is no fear that n Swiss S"oldlcr would In any1 way
neglect that which has been Intrusted to him by
his country ; his rifle is his hobby nnd, his uniform
receives the constant care one would give to a
precious pet
"Only the Instructors, tho general staff nnd a
few other officials receive n regular salary. The
officers are paid only for the short period they
nro called upon for training, nnd the common

They come to understand
ono another's feelings, to
know the qualities of one nn
other's manhood, nnd to have
n common patriotism among
them. This has meant much
to the French republic. In
no other great army In the
world Is there such n spirit
of comradeship as between
officers nnd men of the
French establishment. Ono
might expect thnt record to
be held by the United States.
But it Isn't; our regular
' army is patterned after the
British system, which Is
nn aristocratic system.
United States Senator Chamberlain has pre
pared a bill for the establishment of universal
military service in this nation. It is not unlikely
that our country will have universal service
within a few years, considering lessons learned
from the European war, from our own experience
In various wars, and from the widespread feeling
that the United States should have systematic
preparedness. If universal service comes, the
plan of work probably will be evolved from the
Swiss, Australian and French systems.
TO GET FANCY PRICES.
soldier, when on duty, hns nil his expenses paid
nnd besides that he receives a dally compensa
tion of 10 cents. Recruits receive a dally com
pensation of 10 cents."
In tho early days of the European war It would
have been of tremendous advantage to either
France or Germany to violate the neutrality of
Switzerland by sending troops across her terri
tory in flnriking movements against the enemy.
But little Switzerland wns ready and waiting to
punish nny such International outlawry. Bel

In Australia all males between eighteen and
sixty years nre liable to military service In time
of war, according to an ortlel'e by Bertram
Stevens In Collier's Weekly. Every boy not
physically unfit passes Into the junior cadet force
nnd undergoes phjslcal training rind eleraentnry
drill for two years; nt fourteen becomes a senior
cadet and serves four years, completing 40 drills
each year; at eighteen enters the citizen soldiery
and Is liable for 10 days' training every year for
seven years and one parade in the eighth year.
At the end of 1914, three years after the compulsory-training
law went Into effect, Australia
had more than 87,000 senior cadets, about 4S.0OO
junior cadets in training, together with 51,000
citizen soldiers. That country hns a population
of a little more than 5,000,000 about as many
persons ns live In New York city proper.
By 1033, Australia will be a democracy In which
every healthy citizen has been trained to take bis
plnce In tho firing line, and would have to do so
were his country Invaded.
The princlpnl difficulty about the Inception of
the compulsory system arose from the boys them
selves. The Australian Is halfway between the
Briton nnd the American, but ho Is more individu
alistic than the Briton. He objects to restraint
nnd hates to call a man "sir." At first many of tho
boys resented discipline, their easy-going parents
did not help the authorities nnd there were many
prosecutions' for evasion of drills. When It was
seen that the government wns In earnest, how
ever,' tho 'boys nnd their parents accepted tho
plan nnd now seem to like it.
Authorities sny there Is already n marked Im
provement In the physical and moral character
of the youth, and generally a tendency toward a
ense of responsibility.
Americana who have seen tho French republic's
system of universal service In operation say that
It is not only an effective means of national de
fense against foreign enemies, but, quite ns Im
portant, Is a very practical organization for the
prevention of class prejudice. Tho poor fisher
man son from Brittany likely ns not will have
for his bunk mntq during their period of training
the son of n Paris banker. The rich and poor,
the aristocrat and commoner, nre thrown con

To secure n fancy price for eggs, you must bi

Don't leave an egg In nest for nest egg. You
might accidentally get one In gathering nnd send
It to your customer then good-by customer. When
the breeding season Is over sell all the roosters,
or If you have a few good ones you wish to
keep, pen them up. Then you can get a fancy
price for infertile eggs, which nre in great de

and dry well, so they will not shine. Keep all
small nnd Imperfect eggs nt home. Fill each
layer with eggs of the same size, they look so
much better that way. Pack carefully, so they
will reach the customer In good condition, and
absolutely guarantee every egg to be fresh. You

Baltimore Has Demonstrated . That
Division Fences May Profitably
Be Done Away With.
It has already been convincingly
demonstrated, here In Baltimore, thnt
the scheme of tearing down division
fences- between city home backyards
and developing the unobstructed
stretch of space thus provided as n
continuous flower garden or n grassed
lawn, Is no chimerical or Impractical
dream. It has been demonstrated be
cause It has been done on several back
stretches and partially accomplished
In hundreds of Instances. By partially
accomplished wo mean those Instances
where two or three or four adjoining
householders have thrown their back
yards Into n common nnd developed
the enlarged spaces Into flower gar
dens. This backyard park Idea, de
veloped to the limit of polontlnllty,
would mean the tearing down of nil
fences on both sides tho midway alley
and beautifying nil the yards upon
some hnrmonlous scheme of orna
mental gardening.
There are comparatively few block
centers In which this complete schemo
of ornamentation can bo realized, for
the reason that many owners wish to
build n garage, a stable or some other
kind of outbuilding In tho backyard
nnd fronting along the alley. While
the placing of rear buildings In one or
more of the backyards of n block In
terferes with the complete realization
of the backyard parking scheme, It
need not prevent the partial carryr
Ing out of the plan. And as to back
buildings, their ugliness nnd inhar-
mony can be greatly modified by
planting climbing roses or other climb
ing vines nlong their sides nnd rear
ends. There Is nothing so utilitarian
not even a stable that every thought
of benutiflcatlon should be abandoned

FIRE PREVENTION PAYS WELL
Safe Construction Lowers Insurance
and Reduces Depreciation
Repairs Cost Little.
If the walls and roof of tho house
are of fire-resistant material fully CO
per cent of the fire hazard Is overcome,
says the writer of an article on "Com
mon Sense Home Building," which Is
published in the June Issue of Con
struction. In the Interior it Is not nec
essary to eliminate wood from the fin
ishing. There Is no objection to trim
on doors nnd even tho floors above the
first may te of wood)
The basement should, by all means,
be cut off from the rest of the house
by a masonry floor, protected stairway
and fireproof doors connecting with
the first floor. Partitions should be of
flre-rcslstlve material In order to check
the rapid spread of flames. In other
words, think of fire ns It really is and
use common sense In the construction
of the house.
In most localities a house of this
typo Is credited with a noticeable re
duction In Insurance cost Naturally,
too, the cost of maintenance Is re
duced, painting and repairs are not
necessary. Another saving factor la
the matter of depreciation. A frame
house with wood shingles, built as they
nre today, will depreciate Just three
times as quickly as a masonry house
with a common-sense roof.
