THE DREAM GIRL
SI WHY
By LOUISI OLIVER.
(Coprrtvht. IM, br the McClurs Newspa¬ per Syndicate.)
Wlipn the cfir gave a Inrch which MBt J««k with great forc<> against •one one behind hlhi, and he turned to apologise. I)« flininat lout his breath with RurprlM. For there amlMng *rlth amunement was the girl he had been dreaming abont.
Jack waa no senttmentallHt. He was not given to dreaming at all—much. Onljr this girl had got Into his head Home way, how, he couldn't have told, i ond be took to dreaming about her.
One night at training camp he had awakened aaddenly In the barracks to And a doxen fellows bending over him "listening In." i
"Sweetheart I" One grinning bouI had mocked. "Dee ar little aweet- | heart! Oh, mamma t**
"Don't worry, darling. How can I get killed when you're waiting for me," sang another, waving his arms and dancing around on one leg. |
"You devils r cried Jack, springing op. Of the dozen men In his bar- j racks, he was probably the only one who didn't have a real sweetheart.
So now was It any wonder that be was too paralyzed with amazement to ' make the apology he had begun, and coloi«d like a girl under his tanT His , eyes held hers for qalte several sec¬ onds before he remembered. "I beg your pardon," he said, his hand to l his cap. "I hope I didn't hurt you."
"No," she said kindly, "you didn't."
"It's too bad a woman has to stand," : declared Jack. "If you say so I'll pick ; up anybody you choose, and you may I have his seat." I
"No, thank you. I like to stand." !
"Good," Bftld Jack. "I'm with you. Only soldiers, you see, get the habit."
"And I'm trying to get the habit, too." She still fiinllod.
The car stopped. "I get off here," Bhe said. j
"Why, 8p do L" He alighted flrst and turned to help her off. He could do no less—could he?
"I'm going shopping," she explained.
His face fell. "Oh, I had hoped that you were going somewhere that I might—that I could perhaps be of i help."
"Well, you can. If you really want , to be useful, stay by me and I'll And | plenty for you to do before the after¬ noon's over." I
"I'm yours forever," he cried hap- '
Plly. ' !
"I don't want you forever," she said. "But I can make good use of you this afternoon. I need some one to help ] m^ with my family." i
"Your family 1" I
"Don't look so horrified. Tra not ' the mother of ten, nor the wife of any- \ body at all. You see, I've been trying ; to hunt up families of drafted eoldlers ' who need help. There are people too proud to ask for aid. Take the | Caseya I've just discovered. j
"You're a sort of good Samaritan," j eald Jack, admiringly. |
"No, I'm not. Don't call me that," fihe denied impatiently, turning Into a big department store. "I'm going to i get them a few things they need, | though, and as deliveries are slow you may help carry if you wish."
And so Jack and the girl arrived at Casey's, laden like caravan camels.
•"Now, you toll -Mr. Casey a few funny stories to du^er him up," Haid the girl, "while I make a hot poultice, and put things lu the kitchen to rights."
So Lieutenant Jack and the dream girl stayed all afternoon at theCaseys*. I5y five o'clock the Utile bouse was In order, dinner ready, uud a neighbor j Installed to serve It. |
' .jl'Cau't I call u taxicab?" asked Jack, when they were ready to depart. "The cars are so crowded now." |
"No," she refused. "I either walk or use street curs everywhere I go | now. War times!" she reminded. j
"But you spent a fortune on those i people thl-s afternoon." I
"That's it, d(m't you see. I save { where I can. Its a little game of my ' own." , . ,>.-..,,.,.,-^ j
When he put her on the.car, she held out iior hand. "Thank you, oh so much, for nil you've dune today. I'erhaps nuother day I may ask your nssistance. But you see I don't know yet who you are."
Ho gave her a card. "I'm only borne another week," he eald. "Make it soon, won't youT But won't you tell me your name, now?"
"And Isn't It funny," she eald teas- Ingly, after a second's hesitation, "I haven't any. Just call me the Dream Girl,"
That ulght Jack was going over some sport things be was packing away, and unfolded an oki newspaper full of tish hooks, reels and flies, he had brought home in the spring from a fishing trip. And there was a full page picture of the Dreain Glrlt He understood It now. His brain had not manufactured her. He had seen her In the pai>«r and his subconscious self had retained the tmprvsslou.

Hot 'Witer Cast On Stove Doeiti*t Xou«h It
It Is ImpoxslWe to throw a few drops of wafer on a red-hot stove. The water can, never tonch the ntoxc at nil. What Is Keen \n a few drop?- running rapidly over the surface, grnd nally getting smaller as they disap¬ pear. If the drops sre on n perfectly level place one can see under them to the other side of the room, thus prov¬ ing thnt they are not In roninrt with the stove Itself. What actually hap pens Is that the bottom of the drop chnngea at once to steam or vapor on comtAg close to the hot surface, and this mpor is supplied by the drop as It gradaally goes away, Ro the drop rest* on a ctishlon of vnpor until It Is entirely dlsslpnted. This state of wa¬ ter Is known as the spherical stage, and It Is of Interest simply on accnnnt of its pscallarly and seemingly para¬ doxical behavior. The reason why the drop Is not Immediately evapomted or chnnged to stenm Is also very Inter¬ esting. The water vapor that Inter¬ venes between the under surface and the red-hot stove Is « very bad con¬ ductor of heat, and consequently the full Intensity of heat cannot get Into the water Itself, only the amount transmitted through the vapor belns available for that purpose.
BADGE OF SPLENDID SERVICE
How Rsd Cress Cam* to B« Adopted
by Thess Whose Misslen la to
Aid ths UnfsrtMnsts.
Tho Red Cross as a badge of serv¬ ice for suffering humanity dates back more than three hundred years, writes a correspondent to the Evening Post, and its origin must be of interest at this time when it has expanded as a society into a multitude that ministers to the physical needa of our army and navy here and abroad.
Camlllns de Leills was born In the klng[dom of Naples In 1550. After
serving In the Venetian srmy h** w*«nt to the hospital of Ran Olsfomo In Rome with an affection of the log. There he was so mnrh Impressed hy the horters and flith of what was little better thsn a pestho^se that he re¬ solved to devote his life to suffering hnmanlty, "to cure for the plsgne- strlcken and to nnrse the sick In their own homes." At thirty-two he wss ordained s priest and set about found¬ ing a religious order "to serve tile sick."
"They shall wear a red cross upon their brensts," snid Cnmlllus, "to re¬ mind tiiem of the suffering of our I.,ord Christ. This will give them strength and enrwirsgemehl." Pope SIxtns y confirmed the congregation In 1598, granting them In the brief n special permission to wear "the Red Cross." This same red cross Is the badge of service today, worn by every Catholic religions order thnt takes care of the sick. In every part of the world. This red cross has been blessed In the lei*r settlements of Mo- lokai and Madagascar ; In the cholera hospitals of India and the pestllenoe- strlrken lands of the far Bast, as well as on the battlefields of France. In the calendar St. Csmlllas' day falls npon the 18th of July, and at his spe- clsl masa these words are chanted: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."—Tenth's Companion.
How Qsrmany Caw—rvs< Spsesw A conservation of land-space move¬ ment. In Oermany, some time ago, re¬ sulted in the atlllzAtion of dwarf vari¬ eties of ftTilt trees Instead of much of the shrubbery planted merely for orna¬ mental porposes, and la the touting of snail trees close against the walls of brick or stone houses so that the branches could be trained over the walls In the manner of ivy, says the Popular Science Monthly.
Pear trees are pruned carefully and trained to spread out over the walls Jnst like vines, 'The practice Is now common In hard-pressed Oermany, and Is likely to find favor In this country. Pear, plum, and other fruit trees are thtis trained over house walls, fences.

How Aviators Navigate at NIoht.
.Spvernl suhsrrlbprs have written ns asking how aviators find thplr v<rny about St night. Thnngh It may seem Strange to the laymrtn, on a moon¬ light night nn airman can see almost as much as he onn In the dnytime. From a consldershle height villages, roads, csnals, railways, and even fnrms, groups of buildings, and such small things as bridges, factories nnd trenches are distinctly visible. The only difference from daytime visibility Is that the airman cannot see so far, his range of vision being limited, ex¬ cept for large objects, to three or fonr miles, which Is amply snfflcient for or¬ dinary navigation, gived normal Intel* Ilgence, good maps and a little expe¬ rience.—Exchange.
