Jack's letter to Mra Htewart, with its description of their rtieetlng'ln the French hospital, dropped unheeded to the floor of my old. friends little sitting room. My thoughts flew back to the night when Katherine and both wrakeful and hungry, had grown confidential Interdepartmental Board on Nitrate Plant to Be Taken Over District. bQ pcivsoe ONCE there was a lasy bes who lived with hi Mamma and Daddy and brother and sister In a hols In an apple tree. Ulster Daisy He and brother Lenny Uee worked all day long, i but Willie Lee as always too tired to1 work.

Willie Be was a vsry lasy bee. One dsy the Queen of tha Beee placed a sign where all the bees must see It. Tire sign read; "All lasy drone bees must leave the colony tomorrow," Ho lasy WIUIs Bee had to leave Ills Mamma and Daddy and his horns and go out alone into tho world, lie soon grew tired and sat down to rest on a log. "Hello, tilts Bee," called a vole from the other find of the log. "Whet the trouble? Ahd a big Black Ant came from behind a pile of sawdust and looked up at Willie Hee.

Im hungry," Willie ilee replied. "Well, If you will help me for a few minutes 1 will give you some of my lunch," said the big Black Ant. Willie Hee did as he was told and then they sat down to eat. It was ths fret thus Ulle Hee had ever worked for hla lunch, and It seemed to him that broad end butter never tased quite so good. He began to think that working wasn't ao hard after all, for the big Black Ant seemed to be so happy working From that day on Willie Uee worked for his daily bread.

One day while Willie Hee was on hie way to work be rami upon a Drone Bee sitting on a pebble crying He was In the same trouble Willie Hee had been before he learned to work. So Willie Bee showed him how to work and then the Drone Hee was happy. This gave Willie Bee an Idea, Each day ha sent ths Drone Hee out Into the woods In search of other Drone Bees, and before long Willie Bee bad a big band of Drones and they went from field to field doing all the good they could. While the prone Hees were working one ilav a tramp Hee happened to come A Committees Are Appointed and Plans Made to'Show Off Warrior River. ijljlll over a chafing dish supper, and I had been startled by a glimpse of a kodak print of Jack in her scrap book.

In the conversation that followed 1 learned that she was the half-sister Mark Karle, Jack's dearest triend, with whom he had been on many trip, and that from her brother tale and photographs of Jack she had made him quite a hero of her girlish imagination. Indeed, 1 half suspected from her manner that she had a distinct romantic Interest In him. I had often heard Jack speak of Mark Karie's ltttle sister. Indeed, In the old day when 1 looked upon my cousin Jask as my brother and my own especial property, I had been secretly a little uneasy at the Interest he displayed In his chum's pretty ltttle sister whom he had never seen. Hnougb of the old sisterly jealousy lingered at, the time Katherine and I had our talk to make me hesitate about giving her a thanca to go to the French front as a nurse.

Dicky's brother-in-law, tile eminent surgeon, Dr. Edwin Bralth walte, was about to sail at the head of a hospital unit, and It only needed a word 1 runtime to gratify at once Katherines longing to aerve France her great grandfather was an officer In Napoleon'a army and the aecret desire to be near the hero of her dreams, which I suspected. Glad er Sorry? 1 Was I glad or sorry, I wondered, a picked up Jacks letter again, that I had crushed any feeling I might have had In the matter, and had spoken the word to Dr. Braith walte that resulted In Katherines joining the eminent surgeon's staff of nurses? It seemed a pity to have these two meet only to be torn apart so soon by death. You Bee, letter to Mrs.

Stewart went on, "when good old Mark Earle and I roughed It together I was migntlly attracted by the photographs of his little sister which be carried around with him, and by letters to him, which he always read aloud to me. I remember wondering occasionally whether If my feeling for Margaret had not been so strong I might not become even more interested In Marks sister. My love for Margaret however, always put any lesser emotion to one side, but tne memory of the little girl always was like a fragrant flower In my life, and I hate always kept her picture." (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) WILLIE READS THE NOTICE. by and told Willie Hee that the big Brown Bear that lived in the woods was planning to destroy WlUle Bee's old home and to steal all their honey. So Willie Bee and all the Drone Bees flew back to the colony, reaching there just In time to see the big Brown Bear climb Into the apple tree.

Willie Bee, followed by his comrades, flew at the big Bear' head with a terrible buss, striking him on the nose and eves wkh their tiny swords until the big Brown Hear bowled with Pam arid dropped to the ground and ran away. The Queen Bee shook Willie Bee's hands and thanked hint for hla help and said if Willie Bee and his comrades would like to stay she would pay them well. So the army of one time lasy llees was rewarded by the Queen for saving the colony and were made soldiers to protect It. My! but weren't WllUe Bee's Mamma and Daddy glad!

If they are to have part In (11-lectliig the spirit and the methods that shall be adopted for the defence of our republic Labor Should Stats Stand.

"Some plan will bo adopted Whatever the plan may be it will affect wags earners primarily. If In this formative period the labor msivement shall clearly enuni late what part It ts willing to take In defense of the republic. It will be In a position to have a voice in deciding the whole plan of national preparedness foi defense, but If the labor movement should hold aloof and refuse to proclaim a lonstructive program, all wage earners will he forced to accept conditions and methods determined by those who do not understand or evmpathlse with the alms or purposes of the labor movement. "Either duties and service In connection with national defense will be Imposed upon the workers without their advice When formulating these plans, or labor must make fhi an opportunity for emphasising the tremendous service ihat It has rendered to society, both In peace and In war, and for demanding that all plans be In harmony with ths thought that human life and human welfare are the ultlmaie purposes which both peace and war serve. "Wage earners, She great masses of the people, have the right to demand that the Interests of humans shall under all circumstances be made paramount to the Interests of property.
