Then she must learn to crmxch close to -the ground or hide in a deep hole when a shell screamed. Most important of all, she bad to be taught to go swiftly from one place to another with a message in a little pouch which was tied around her neck. One morning, before daybreak, as little Mignon was dreaming pleasantly, she heard her master’s voice calling: “Come, Mignon. You and I must fight this day for France.” ‘With ‘a glad little cry, she sprang up and followed him as his regiment marched to the firing line. The battle was terrible, but she never left her master's side. At last word came that the German guns had destroyed the French tele- phone wires. Unless the French com- mander could get a message to his men on the other side of the field, the battle wouid be Iost “That is easy,” said Mignon's mas- ter, as he patted her head. “Here is a brave little messenger.” When the pouch with the message wase securely fastened at her neck, Mignon's master whispered in her ear: “Go, little M:guon. I know you will not fail. Have I not taught you my- self? Go! You fight for France!” Off she darted. The soldiers watch- ed her run swiftly for a few yards and then crouch as a shell exploded overhead. Once they thought she had been killed by a German gum, but when the smoke lifted they saw her far in the distance, dodging and run- ning forward. At lagt she arrived safely with the precious message. The day was won for France! Later, Mignon's regiment was pa- raded before the great general to be honored for bravery. And Mignon was there. She, too, received a Cross of War, “for,” said the soldiers, “if it had not been for Mignon, we could not have won.” IRENE STEWART, Age 12. Jewett City. Fishing in Japan.

Then a small trench is made in the top of each ridge and In each trench two or three rowssof cuttings from the main stali are laid end to end. ‘A machine has been invented for covering the cuttings though on the smaller plantations this is still done by hand.

Her Prayer Was Answered. One evening as the sun went down Brigid sat with Sister Dera, a holy nun, who was blind, and they talked of the love of Jesus Christ apd the joys of Paradise. Now iheir hearts were so full that the night fled away while they inlked together, and neith- er knew that so many hours had sped. Then the sun came up from behind the Wicklov Mountains and the pure light made the face of the cafth bright and gay. Then Brigid sighed when she saw how lovely wera earth and sky, and knew that Dora's eyes were closed to all this beauty. So she bow- ed her head and praved. A extended her hand and sighed as the gen- tle sister.
