I was out walking the othor day and ovory way you look are llttlo towns and churches that wero built hundreds of yoars ago, and for conturios past tho plcoplo had gono to church ovory Sunday. Thon camo tho ruthless Gor mana who blew up tho towns and with tholr big cannons shot down all tho pretty llttlo churches. When they sighted a church they shelled it, for they know womten and rhildren would congregate thoro for safety, nnd they would rather kill defenseless womon and children than men because It was safer for thorn.

" tH REE DREAMS 1 I BT MlSADftENTlJRE j By JACK WALTON. 1 I By GERTRUDE L, TUNELIU8. 1 (Copyright, Ills, Wcittrn Ncvippor t'hlon The old lawyer carefully searched tho library, but no later "will" could bj found. The one reposing In the safe could have no special valuo be cause across Its hack wns written In bold letters. "This will Is void. A later document may be found, leaving all to tho nleco whom wo have, learned truly loves us," It was a perplexing situation. Tho twin orphaned nieces, Mary and Mar tha, had lived slnco Infancy, upon their relatives' bounty, and Undo Horaco and Aunt Jane had denied them noth ing. Roth girls enjoyed the same ad vantages; both hnd objected tor.dorly when tho drawing of tho will was dis cussed. . "Do not let us talk about such things," murmured Mnry. "Do ns you think host with your property," Martha had unsolllshly nd vised. Tho first will divided the estate equally between the sisters why the elderly cotiplo had soon fit to change their minds was a problem. Vaguely troubled, tho girls aided In tho search, with no success. Alone, (hoy locked into each other's faces. "Had ellher ono of us grlovcd them?" nsked Mary. Martha shrugged her shoulder. "I think wo'vo boon pr6tty grateful," lie suhl, "staying with them night af ter night. And Uncle Horace was not tho easiest porson to tnnnugc, after Aunt Juno went. Ilowovor, what dif ference does it mako7 Either ono of us should bo willing to divide with the other." "Of course, dear," Mary hastily ngreed, but a lino showed between her pretty brows. She was thinking anx iously about the mon whom Martha was determined to marry. Ills ex travagances wore well known. Tho division" of property Mary considered Just, but she wished wistfully that she might havo been nblo to keep up tho dear homo and to live thoro with old Mammlo Deliawhen Martha should bo married. Earnestly sho looked over tho months that wore gono; could It bo possible that Rho had offended? They had been so good to her, so kind al ways. And Mnrtlm, too, looked back. "They could, not have been preju diced against Lester Illnke," sho re marked xwlth satisfaction, "because they had not hoard of his Intentions. You did not tell, Mary?" Rut as quickly sho laughed. "Of course you wouldn't, loyal soul," sho snld. So weeks went by with no solution of tho difficulty. "P'raps, Mlsslo .Tnno an' Mister Hor aco weren't shuah decided which loved 'em best befonh dey went, honey," Mammlo Delia suggested. "They probably agreed to leave things as they were," he said. And lif ter tho three hnd exhaustively talked tho subject over ono evening, Mary went to her room nnd had a dream; nt least It must have been n drenm, though to her;n,t tho tiinotnlLsoomed very real. Sho.hnd unbandofrhor long hair before tho glass, and turned to sit down In her favorlto rocker, when, In their usual easy way, Aunt Janes and Uncle Horaco entored the room. Roth wore dressed In an old fnmlllnr """- rm in arm moy stoou foi moment looking down upon her . . " ujiuii 111.1 manner, as arm In arm they stood for "fill .... , UOCle, "Oh I Aunt Jane," sho cried, "nnd icle, I havo wanted von so -nimh Rut though both old faces wero illum ined with n wonderful smile, Undo Horace motioned her back; his eyes sought" tho timepiece upon tho mantel. "Oh, not yet I" begged tho girl, "pleaso do not go" But they wero gono. Stupidly sho raised her hend from tho back of tho rocker sho had been asleep. And as sho still sat blinking, Marthn burst Into tho room. Martha's eyes wero wide and dark, her cheeks wero crimson. "Oh. Mary 1" sho exclaimed. "I have had such a tcrrlblo dream, though It wasn't In tho least llko a dream. I was rending before tho fire, when the door opened and Undo noraco came in. Yes, ho did, with Aunt Jane be hind him. They seemed to wait until I could control myself, and then Undo Hornco looked toward tho clock, nnd all at once It camo to me, llko a flash, now was my opportunity to learn about tho will, so I managed to blurt it out: 'Whore did you put tho Inst will?' I asked. 'Who gets the prop erty? Speak quick,' I gasped, but they wuro gone." Trembling. Mnrtlm sank down upon tho bpd. "It was terrible I" sho re pented. Across tho room camo tho telephone call, Mary hastened to nnswer. "Miss Wllklns," came tho old lawyer's volqe "tho hour Is late, but I felt I must call you up. Tho second will has boon found, and through tho strange process of n dream. It Is actually dllllcult to persuade myself that tho experience through which I havo pnssed. was a droam. Pardon roy incoherence th lnddont has unsettled mo. I wns pon dering over our recent conversation, whon It soomod that your old uwl' entered my study. In a businesslike munnor ho lmmodlatoly proceeded to my safe, tripping a spneo benoath a certain drawer; thon he vanished. Carried by an uncontrollable impulse, I hastened to your homo, whero I am npw In tho llbrnry. Dcllft admitted me, and wo havo found the will, se creieu in a recoptacie oeneath therj creted m a receptacle beneath tha very (Copyright, 1918, V.Vittrn Newotapcr"l)nlon.) "A plain nobody," modest Rufus Dow designated himself, but Ada Pourco considered hlni tho bcsttOf men and wns not far amiss, and her father, who was Dow's employer, had, reason to thank this loyal, Industrious 'young fellow for keeping his small and strug gling business allout through all kinds of vicissitudes. Mr. Pearce hnd been too 111 for a year to do much more than assume tho direction of affairs; Ho owned a barge, clumsy, old, and safe for close coast service only. lie lived u few leagues down the Australian coast from Mel bourne, and for twenty years had fol lowed the conveying of Tncrcliandlso from port to port, especially bulk stuff, cutting steamer rutes. The bargo had a sail and n tiller nnd was scarcely sea worthy, and could be operated by ono man. "I've got a cargo-lco," reported Pearco ono day. "The consignors will load and nil care taken off your hands at the othor ond. Pick out a spell of clonr Weather for the go, Ruftis, for I hardly think the cruft will stand mmiy more voyages." Rufus started on ljls voyage a week later. Above the hold, crated, were two hundred ice cream freezers and several barrels of coarse rock salt, for the cargo was designated for & firm en gaged In the manufacture of lco cream. "1 think, myself, the old tub Is at lis last gasp," Rufus told Ada. "It fmu downs her on this trip, mriyUc It will bo a good thing, for wo muko So little. I would like to strike out Into some lew field. It's this wretched pinching and scraping to get a dollar ahead that' Is putting off our murrmge." "Hut It doesn't wear out our love", dear," reminded Ada sweetly. Everything augured an easy, pleas (ant voyage. Tho old bargo behaved ad mirably for two days. The third night, however, tlfty miles from any port, Ru fus f6und himself ln the grasp of a fierce storm. AVlth dismay ho loathe unwieldy craft drift, tho pluythlug, of tho wuves, for thoro wns nothing elso to do. , With daybreak there came a dense fog and a atom northeaster that drove the barge ahead like an arrow shot from a bow. Tho straining craft groaned and shivered. No land wiis In sight, the great broad sail hnd been ripped to tatters and tho rudder had burst Its lashings. Rufus had lost ac count of bearings, the fog did not lift and that night the- wind Increased. In tho utter darkness, Just before day break, with 11 crash the barge struck rocks, the prow was battered lato kindling wood, the bulky mass turned over on Its side and Rufus clung to the upper rail, awaiting daybreak. "It's a coral -reef and an Island be yond," ho calculated, as morulng showed him a coastline fringed with trees. He had mndo up u package of food niul, strapping half a dozen of the freezer pulls together utilized them us a float to get ashore. Rufus sat down and rested whon he reached the beach. The tropical air told him that ho must have voyaged many hundred miles. ' Ho wns blocking out a blind courso along the coast when a blaring trumpet blast, followed by tho clash of cymbals, cuused him to observe a procession nt a short dls tunce. Borno In a palanquin shoul dered by half a dozen dusky follows, all hands nearly nude, was a greut, portly savage, decorated with metal orna ments. Tho luferenco wus palpnble. Rufus hnd landed on some Isolated Island In habited by savages this was their nu gust monarch on a Journey. They might bo cannibals, and at -this thought Ru fus Btnrted to hide, but he wns ob served and put on a bold front, await lug the approach of the procession. Following It wero some cattle yoked together. The procession halted and the king, alighting, studied Rufus with curiosity. Thou ho inquisitively point ed to the Ice renm palls. A bright ihouglit struck Rufus. Through gestures he Imparted to tho dusky monarch that ho would swim to tho bargo and return with something thut would explain the situation. Tho, king nodded and Rufus struck out for the wreck. He returned, flouting a great cake of ice ahead of him, and tied to his shoulders tho cannlster that held tho craft's supply of sugar. One hour Inter Rufus vu at a stago of wild Jubilation. Ho had mude of tho king a real friend and tho latter not only rewarded hlui richly but indi cated that he should bo conveyed to tho mainland. "Yas. I'm hero and tho bargo and Its cargo demolished or devoured," report-' ed Rufus to Ada, and her father ono month later, and ho told of tho wreck.' "And then," ho recited, "I treated theia. Thoy had cows, and therefore milk. I had sugar nnd Ice. I made thom a freezer full of Ice cream. The effect was magical. Thoy had nover tasted the dainty before nnd wero en tranced. They halted right there, un loading Ice and freezors from the burge. They sent to their camp and a whole army Hocked to tho spot. There, was such un lco crouni fcstlvul as Vvus never heard of bofore. Thoy koRt tholr word as to placing me In the way of gutting home and tho king gave me those" and Rufus, drawing out a llt tlo chamois-skin bag, poured Into his hand a dozen or more magnificent dia monds. "And now, Ada" ho exuberated, gayly, "wo enn" get married." i Population of Washlnaton 305,947. Washington clnlms a present popu Utlou of 805,017, police ceusus. : (JEO. R.
