Paslint's Hew Teacher By Julia R. Burr. Mrs. Ewing was in the kitchen when she beard the front door slam. She went ' Into the front room and found it to be her daughter, Pauline, who had just come from school. "Well, dear, how did you get along at school today?" asked Mrs. Ewing. "Not very well," answered Pauline. "Mrs. Bant has gone away to teach another school and we have a new teacher and I just hate her." "Why, Pauline," said her mother, "why do you say that you hate her? Don't you know that is wrong?" "Well," said Pauline, "if I can't say that word, I'll have to say that I don't like her. Today at school Max Moore the boy who sits, behind me pulled my hair and stuck me with pins and every time I turned around she would scold me. She wouldn't let me explain and kept me after school tonight. None of the girls like her." "What is her name, Pauline?" "Beverly White," replied Pauline. "Beverly White!" exclaimed Mrs. Ewing. "Yes." said Pauline, "Do you know her?" "No, I don't know that I do," answered her mother, "but the name sounds familiar." v Next morning as Pauline was starting to school, Mrs. Ewing handed her a note which she told her to give to Miss White. She also gave Pauline some money and told her to go to the picture show after school. Pauline gave the note to Miss White, and this is what it said: "Dear Miss White: "WH1 you please call on me after schoool? "Mrs. Ewing.!' Miss White called after school as Mrs. Ewing wanted her to. She explained the incident of the day before and said that she was making the boy stay in at recess and for a half hour after school. She also said that it was against the rules of the school to whisper and talk in class without the consent of the teacher. Miss White said that she liked Pauline and that she reminded her of some one she had once known. "Miss White," said Mrs. Ewing, "will you tell me your history from your childhood up? It may help you and it may help me to know it." "Ob, Mrs. Ewing," said Miss White, " I have always wanted to tell someone my history and now I'm sure. I'll have a sympathetic listener." "Indeed you will, my dear," said Mrs. Ewing, heartily, and so Miss White told the following tale. 'I am now eighteen years old. When I was a little girl of five, I lived with my parents, and my only sister who was ten years old. My father was a rich merchant. "My sister's name was Mary. One night I was awakened by some one coming into the room. It was a burglar. 1 tried to wake Mary, but as she was a sound sleeper, I could not , . "In trying so hard to get her awake, I forgot for a moment and sat up in bed. Just then the burglar turned around and saw me. Before 1 had time to call out he

German soldiers are sick of the war. This is being proved often these days ever since the allies' great offensive began. The Huns seek hiding places in buildings and shell holes when their companions are retreating and wait for the allied soldiers to discover them. The Hun in the picture is the first one of four German soldiers to come piling out of a cellar when they were sure the British had driven the Hun forces out of a village.

"He finished his burglary and then picked me up, carried me down the ladder out of the window and I don't know how far on, but it seemed hundreds of miles out in the country. "Finally- he tok me to a house where there was a kind lady who had five children of her own, and there I wasxraised. To this day I have not found my parents." "Thank the heavenly father, my prayer is answered," said Mrs. Ewing, and she threw her arms around Beverly White's neck, crying joyously. "Beverly, you are my sister." The two sisters were once more happy, but Beverly was the happiest Then they decided that Pauline should not know about this relationship until she began to like her teacher. The next day, Pauline came home a happy little girl.

I am to think of a name for it by tomorrow, and mother, I have changed my opinion of Miss White for I now see the right side of her, and I love her dearly. Max Moore said he was sorry he did that to mty and he wants me to be his friend." "And are you?" asked her mother. "Yes," replied Pauline. "Pauline," began Mrs. Ewing, "Miss White is your aunt." And then she went on to tell how it all had come about. That night a very happy little girl went up to bed, and as she was finishing her prayers, she added, "and God, please bless my Aunt Beverly."

Boy Scoots Are Called to Help in Fourth Loan .President Wilson has written a personal letter to the Boy Scouts, telline how he. and all the na-

ttional officials, are depend'ng on the Scouts to help make the Fourth Liberty Loan a great success. In the three former campaigns, one subscription out of every twentythree which were brought in, had been secured by boy scout;i. The letter to the president of the Boy Scouts, Colin H. Livingston, follows: My Dear Mr. Livingston: The active service of every scout and official enrolled as a member of the Boy Scouts of America is depended upon to help make the Fourth Liberty Loan a success. The fact that scouts secured 1,322,64 subscriptions, representing $203,169,000 in the previous compaigns is a convincing testimonial to the value of organized boyhood for the kind of patriotic boyhood that is worth while. I am informed the Boy. Schouts rendered other valuable service throughout the country to the local Liberty Loan Committees. j I beg every member of the Boy Scouts of America to realize that the service rendered by the boys has been greatly appreciated by the i whole nation and that not only are the officials of the treasury and of various other Liberty Loan committees are looking to them for effective work in the fourth campaign, but that the whole country, which is already proud of them, expects it. There is no better way ! in which they can show their de sire to help win tne war. Cordially and sincerely yours, WOODROW WILSON. Another letter which shows the place the Boy Scouts are holding in the estimation of men of America today, comes from the boys' national hero: American Expeditionary Forces, office of the Commander-in-chief. Colin H. Livingstone, president Boy Scouts of America, Washington. D. C. Dear Mr. Livingstone: To the splendid army of four hundred and forty-two thousand American Boy Scouts the American Expeditionary Forces send greetings and appreciation for all you are doing for our great cause. Upon you will soon fall the burden of our civilization. Every act and thought of yours, in keeping with the scout law, will help to make good citizens and good soldiers. Obey it in letter and spirit and all the older scouts who are fighting for you and all we hold dear will shake hands with you as comrades who helped them win the war. Three cheers for the Boy Scouts of America! Sincerely yours, JOHN J. PERSHING. The Richmond Boy Scouts of Troop 3 are anxious to take in more new scouts, and any boys over twelve years may see Scout Master Vlgran about joining. During their membership campaign last week, sixteen new scouts were added to the enrollment, making the total group now include forty-two workers. The following are the new members: William Marshall, Raymond Bailey, Elbert Apt Frank Cunningham, Dale Hawkins, Ernest Arnold, Vernon Ward, John Craig, Robert Craig, Eari Holdman, Forest Beach, Earl Taggart, Forest Webb, Robert Minor, Elbert Woodhurst, and Frederick Luring. HE MEANT WELL. . The hospital has a new nightwatchman, but for all his newness he was right on the job. So when he heard a French bugler disturbing the calm of early morning, with some wierd, but shrill call, ho at once ran out with his lantern and forcibly ejected the bugler from the premises. "Don't you know that this is a hospital?" . The bugler probably did; anyway he tried to explain, but the watchman was too mad to understand French. Then the watchman went back to the hospital, swinging his lantern with the easy assurance that he had done a good job. He swung himself and his lantern into the inner office to receive congratulations. "Put that light out," yelled the adjutant "Don't you know that they have just sounded the air alarm?"
