' Our country, with its Allies. IS Waging a great war for iustice, for the protection of small nations in the enjoyment of their rights, for continued and growing free- dom, and for the maintenance of its pledged word of honor. Much destruction and desolation are be- ing caused. Lives are being lost by the thousand. Canada’s first contingent is now in the thick of it. Some will fall sick: many may be wounded; some will pay the last full measure of devotion to their country and its cause. The Red Cross Society exists to succor the sick and wounded in war. The need of Red Cross ser- vice is great and growing greater as the war goes on. The price of progress towards lasting peace is very, very dear. It costs lives, homes, health, and much besides. Canada‘s part in the process of payment, through giving for Red Cross work, is mercifully light and easy, even when all have given to the extent of really feeling it. The soldiers and sailors pay the price exacted bv the desolating struggle from week to week. What they paid in blood at (1 did in sacrifice a month ago was not enough for them. Shall we say it was enough for us? What they are doing and suffering and was enough for us? What they are doing and suffering and achieving have put aside, for the time, all their thoughts and plans for individual welfare, comfort and safety. They don’t hesitate to establish precedents. But thev are precedents of heroic sacrifice for our country and its cause. for our principles and ideals that thev may be upheld. Farmers, indixidually as well as through their Institutes, Clubs. and Cheese and Butter Factories. are in a position to help very greatly. Their business does not suffer from the war. Prices of nearly all farm products have gone up. \Vhile labor is scarce there is time to think of the boys at the front and to send to the Red Cross Society a gift to be spent for the sick and wounded. Farmers are generous ’c senti- ment and generous in giving when their hearts and heads point the way. This is a case when they do A RED CROSS APPEAL TO THE FARMERS --wd- so point clearly, persuasively and urgently.

"Lend us money. do you mean?” He fell lnto the trap. “Yes.” he said. “I'd do that if you‘d let me." She gave Just the suggestion of a sneer and turned deliberately away. He moved away. She watched him. Then she called him to her. Some- thing in the man attracted this strange nature. She could not analyze or de- fine the attraction. But the impelllng force was there. He went to her. Ethel spoke to him for the first time softly, almost caressmgly. “Chris. some time. perhaps in the dead or night. something will snap In rueâ€"the slack. selfish. luxurious me. that hates to be roused into action- and the craving for adventure will come. Then I’ll send for you”! He seized her hand fiercely. “Let me take you away out of it all." he cried. She withdrew her hand slowly. “No.” she said. “nOt just now. I'm not in a bolting mood today.” He took her hand again, arid this time she did not draw it away. He said in a whisper: “And you'll go with me?” Ethel stretched lazily and smiled at him through her half closed eyes. He felt the force of the unspoken re- proof. ~‘1 beg your pardon.” he said humbly. She went on as if she had not heard the on'ensive suggestion. “So you see we're both. tn :1 way, at the ‘cross- you!" pleaded. “Until the time comes for amputa- tion ?” “Why should we wait?” he cried. “It will give us the suspense of ex- pecta lion.” “Well. I don't want you to have any illusions about me. Chris. I have none about you. Let us begin fair anyway. It will be so much easier when the end comes.” “There will be no end!” he said pas- sionately. “I love you-love you with every breath or my body. every thought in my mind. every throh or my nerves. “Don't! Don't!" And he dropped her hand suddenly. I lo€e you!” Hé kissed her hand re- peatedly. “I love you!” He took her in his arms and pressed her tp him.

Who was she? How long had she been in the room? ' Ethel turned to Brent. He was quite pale now and was nervously stroking his slight mustache. Ethel was furious. It was incredible that Brent could have been so indis- . creet. How on earth did that creature get there without their hearing or seeing her? : Ethel went straight to the demure Little figure, sitting on the chair. Peg’ a journey to England was one or the nnhapplefit memories of her life. She undertook the voyage deliberately to please her father, because he told her it would please him. But beneath this feeling of pleasing him was one or sullen resentment at being made to separate from him. I - State ol Ohio, City of Toledo...’ Lucas County. I 3 Frank J.
