effort every town and village of the Empire has bad its list of heroes. Men from the office, the counter and the workshop, who never thought it possible that they would be called upon to fight, have gone to the battles which last weeks and are fiendish, because of the modern weapons employed. No volume can bring before our notice the names of the many, many thousands who have given up their fives for the sake of an ideal which, in comme with all great ideals, is in- visible,"

Carry- ing a small roll of notes in her hand, she was accosted in the street by a man, who informed her that the notes ought to be "chopped," and offered to have the needed "chopping" done for her. She foolishly gave him the notes and he disappeared up a staircase after toll- ing her to wait his return.
