The Voice of the

In a little town in the plain of
Brabanconne, the summer twilight
filled the winding streets with shad

dresses, and red kerchiefs trundled
their two-wheeled carts of flowers.
The scented breeze was cool. Here

roofed houses. The tower of the
cathedral rose against the snnset sky
like a misty 'dream and yet a dream
Immovable. Its sculptured saints

Then with the stealth' of dairies the
tiny notes played. In the sir. Softly
at first, the magic music descended
till, swelling like bubbles of light, It
burst In a silvery Shower. ’Every
where green shutters opened to let in
the winged notes. Pedestrians paused,
then hastened their steps toward the
foot of the church, there to" receive
the sweetest benediction of' the
chimes. Slowly the music faded,
melted into the shadows and the per
fume of the night v c ' !!'
The million stars, wakening from
their daytime sleep, blinked till their
eyes were bright," returning * the
twinkle of the lights within the win

:PROT^CTION FOR ANIMALS. '
The first official order of the new
minister of arts, M. Jules Destree, was
for the Introduction in all the elemen
tary schools of Belgium of courses
tending to prevent cruelty to. animals.
The ministry circular points out that
such courses are particularly neces
sary now as a measure to offset any
tendencies toward cruelty that the war
may have left. M. Destree also an
nounces that the government will give
support to all the Institutions and so
cieties established, for the protection
of animals.

; HARD LOT.
In the middle ages lepers were
shown less consideration In Europe
and the East than animals because
of the fear that disaster would attend
their very touch. Thus It was that
the. miserable sufferers were wander
ers, going from place to place with
their hooded gowns and their tinkling
bells In hand, to warn the “clean'’
that something “unclean” was ap
proaching. Time and civilization made
the sad lot of the leper more endur
able; no longer is he scorned and
driven from place to place by those
who follow the command of self
preservation. Every country has pro
vided colonies and- institutions where
the victims are free to move about as
they please, without bells or hoods or
other - distinctive marks. Humane
methods have replaced the barbarous
practices of other countries, and now
through the application' of the per
footed chsulffioogi’a preparation thero
is hope held out to many who could
see only hopelessness as their lot In life.

“Ah’s gwlne. Ah’s gwlrie. Gimme

He peeked cautiously over the top.
Seeing no activity from the German
line he crawled over and finally stood
erect.
“Come on, Jumman,” he quavered.
Then he waited. Silence reigned su

“Come on, yo’ cowards!” he shouted.
feeling safe at last “Come on out
heah an’ meet yo’ master. Come on,
show me somethin’, Ah’m waitin’.”
At that moment a German artillery
man dropped a shell within a dozen
yards of Wash. The explosion blew
him unhurt back, into his own trench.
“What yo’ got ter say now??’ taunted
a companion.”
Wash considered. . - -
