knocked the bottle of peach |
brandy from the tabls to the foor, |
Mechanioally, Candler started to
flcl it up. Before he could stoop to
do so, Arthur Broce was at his side.
His face was white, his eyes flashed,
“What does this mean?™ he de
manded, ‘
Mildred stepped in between the two
men. “It doesnt mean anything!”
she exclaimed, trylng to laugh, “Hx
cept that we were drinking Tom's
health because he ls going away to
morrow, and®——— ;
Tom interrupted her. “Walt, please,
Mildred. If there are any explana
tions I can make them.” ‘
"I am glad” Arithur smeered, thn.l;
you appreciste that youn, not she,
should explain” |
“And 1 decline to explain!™ Tom
burst forth, his face flushing with
anger. “Unless Mildred wishes me
o \
¥ dom't wish you to!” Mildred de.
elared. “It's nobody's basiness but
yours and mine!” |
"Mildred!* Honors interposed. “He
Quist! You do not know what you
“re saying.”
1 do know'™ the younger girl re
torted. “1 am saying that 1 have a
right to do us 1 please, and Tom had
& right to drink with me, too”
“Even though he wears the uniform
of the United States? Arthur ques
toned dryly, But words were ad
dressed to the man, not to the.ghl
“It I 8 Interesting,” Tom comment
od, “to see how the uniform iy re
spoacted by a man who is oot willing
to wear #!*
The taunt emt, and Bruce winced.
“You cur!™ he muttered. Then, as
Tom stepped threateningly toward
him—*“Yes, 1 mean that! If you
want to resent it, we will settle the
#score when the ladies have left us
alone. Unless,” with a harsh laugh,
“you wish to take refuge behind the
law forbidding one to strike & man in
uniform.”
Chandler Tuod slghtly, “We are
muking much out of nothing, Bruce,
and both are talking m-m’ and fool
ishly”-~his tone changing from anyer
to conciliation, “You do not under
stand the situation. 1 did, for the
moment, forget that a soldier must
not drink, and I took a tiny glass of
harmless cordial with Mildred—just
A 8 a little farewell ceremony-—for |
am leaving tomorrow,
“Then, simply because we are old
s, I kissed her on the cheek—as
would have kissed my sister. That
A 8 the extent of my offense. Yot may
this as an apology if you wish.
: I known you were looking on, |

perhaps, 1 would have asked
permission.”

“Why, she comes te see me,” replied
sistor, as much amazed as amused. ‘
Here Miss Becky transferred her pipe
from her mouth to her trembling hands, ‘
olosed her eyes, and began to nod her
head emphatieally, “Sally may tell you
that,” she sald, solemnly, “and you may
belleve it; but she can't fool us, and
she won't git narry theip of our money."
“Much money you've got!” exclalmed
Mrs. Beshears, with kindly sarcasm,
“She thinks she's mighty smart,” sald
Miss Becky, reaching over and touching
Mins Polly on the knee.
“Don't she, though!' exclalmed Miss
Polly,
1 was ourfous to know how Mrs. Be
shears woukl compose this senseless
quarrel; but 't was the easlest thing in
the world. She placed her hands over
her face, sighed deaply, and turned (nl
Bister Jane with an alr too solemn to
be duplicated on the stage.
“Jane,” sald she, “there's a vacant
room at your house. It's not a big
roomn, but it's big enough for me. I'll
Just send my things up there and come
along myself after supper. As I'm not
wanted here, I'll go with you. We'll
see, then, If money will wake the nig
gers o the morning, and make Polly's
and Becky's coffee and sweeten It There
too much money here for me "
Hy this time Miss Poily and Misgs
Beeky were sobbing, and if their tears!
had meant anything more than the
tears of ohildren mean, | should have
Inid the matter up against Mrs. Bes
shears in my mind; but she soothed
them at once, and in & minute they were
lnughing ws blithely s they had been
crying bitterly, aod with ne more exs
cuse in one case than in the other. So
that when sister Jane and myself lmdt!
them good«<bhye on that particular ooca
slon, | onrried away & better opinion
of Mrs. Beshears than [ had ever had
before My first impressions of her,
formed long ago, were not of the best i
Out of sight and hearing of her (wo
gistors she had a heotoring way, and I
think it was her natural way Her
volce was harsh, and she had & way of
saying things that left a sting. But,
after the incident 1 have relatod, 1 wun'
no longer surprised that Tommy 'l‘m-|
king, the oat, should be so anxious to
run and greet her when she came, his
tall carried as erect as & battle-flag,
and his back curved upward to meet tho'
hand that was always ready to give him
A friondly touch, 1 knew, too, that when |
she had put her aged and decrepit .-hll-l
dren to bod the impulse te escape from
her surroundings, by visiting sister Jane
was more than she could rasist; and so
it happened that her company came to |
be as agreeable to me at last as it had
bedn to mikter Jane from the frst
She always called me Willlams, hav
ing known me from a child, and seemed
to keep a watchful eye on my moods,
for when, as sometimes happened, 1 re
mained In my own, she would say at
precisely the right moment: “"Well, Wil
l Ham, you can go and 4o your moping
by yourself. Jane and I have some mat
ters that we want to talk about.” This
took from me the excuse of politeness
and sent me off whather or no, for which
1 was duly grateful. Many lilma 1
have listened and waited for sister Jane
and Mrs. Beshears to lower their voices
in talking over these confidential “mat
ters.” But they kept right on in the
old familiar strain, and In this way 1
found that Mre Heshear's eonfidential
“matters’ were purely mythical in
vented for the purpose of giving me an
eXcuse to return to my books or my
reflections, as whim or fancy might
lead me.
1 could sit m my room or on the Ht
tle poreh and hear every woid the two
old friends said, and was under no ne
cessity of affecting an interest [ did
not feel, Howbelt, a great many things
they sald were sufficiently interesting as
woll as amusing. On one occasion l‘
heard & conversation between Mrs. Be
shears and sister Jane that gave me a
feling of uneasiness I could not account
for,
“Mary Bullard hollered ‘howdye” at
me as I lmped by,"” remarked Mrs. Be
shears. “When is she going to git
married? 'Twon't be long, 1 reckon.”
“The Lord knows. I hope she'll get
& good husband. You know how it is—
good woman, shiftless man; good man,
tacky woman. Providence has paired
‘lhem off that way, I reckon,
| “It looks sO," sald Mrs. Beshears.
“‘Why don't'»-if she mentioned a name
It never reached my ears; It struck me
afterwards that she wrote it In the alr
With her forefinger. “Why don't—
Arop his wing and cut the double-shuf-
Lo\» around her? 1 lay that would fetch
her.
There was a long pause during which
T tmagined that sister Jane was damp
ening the seams of a trouser leg, pre-
PAratory to pressing them, an operation
which she always performed in silence.
Prescntly she remarked, in o lower tone
Of voleg than usual:-—-
~ “Why, bless your soul, ohfld, he
would n't do at all. He hasn't got the
ohink, Te don't belong to the big-bugs.”
_ “And what l.{ he don't? What if he
don'(?" nkrd rs. Heshears wigh a touch
of Indignation in her tones, Aln't he
-veri' bit and grain as good as any of
the Bullards that the Lord ever lot live
on_the earth?™ Bister Jane sald M(L\-
Ing; she was probably testing the
warmth of her tailor's goose; ll\! Mrs,
Beshears went on, her voloe bmmln‘
more strained and tense: “If you tal
and feel that way, Jane Wornum, don't
never u{; and tell me that you know
Cephas Bullard, because you 301-'(. But
okl Sally Reshears knows him Ihroufh

‘A“\ly Jorked her thumb er wnvflw

"1 don't care,” sald Mrs. Beshears,
louder than ever. *“1 don't care who
hears me, not it It's old Cephas himself,
The next time ‘w fee him jest ask tm
where his brother Is and what has be

told you uhn-k him. And if that don't
make him finch, I'l be because the ON
“‘3" done took pesession of him.'
Sister Jane made some comment in a
tone of voiee too low for me to hear,
though 1 was listening with all my
CArS,
“Oh, | don't doubt that," replied Mhr-.
Beshears, “Mary'd be an angel if this
climate suited angels. She's as good as
she's handsome, and that'e more 'n you
can say for the common run of gals,
Why, she's just as different from old
Cephus as she is from old Jonce Ash

HIE girl he left behind him when he went away to war, “just nat-
Tunlly his last worl’ wah!"” once knew a glib bit about geography.
She sat on the tubs of her mother's kitchen close to the place
where that busy little mother passed back and forth, when her skirts
Just touched the round of her boy-like knees, and while she industri
ously pushed her hair back as tight as an onion-skin with a “back
comb,’ she dumbfounded her amazed family with information about
the capitals of the world and the felks in them, and how many there
were,
She examined her chagrined and ignorant father on the length of
the River Amason, and when he couldn't answer how the natives were
able to got their motorboats up to Lake Titicaca, on the top of a vol
cano, and whize about thereon, she eried aloud: “Well, de-e-end! Didn't
you ever go to SCHOOL?" She was bursting and cracking with Infor
mation about the world she lived in until the heads of her family spun.
Years crept by, and her skirts edged down and down, and she
pulled her hair down over her forehead instead of swiping it back off
it—and a lover came along. And during this time she was an ignorant
young American and forgot the River Amazon,” only that boa-constric
tors lived on it! Information on this whirling, warm and cold, beautiful
and terrible little world vanished into the limbo of pale-blue back
combs and a Prince Charming who just had to have a certain color hair
and eyes when he came along or she couldn't love him!' Nevertheless,
and, oh, my, and oh, ye-eye-ecesss! she knows more about geography
now than in those Miss Statistics days. For then Germany was a green-
Ilhxellow on the map and France was a red country, and so was Eng
land, and Italy, and Belgium was Roman goldk NOW they are more
than that.
Besides the ‘stonishing way that France has drawn neur across the
ocean and has become “over there,” and England s the land of the
llmml?e we speak, and Germany is a place she’s goin’ to g 0 around
carefully when she goes traveling some time, and Italy is our brother
we lfnl{t beside, there's one very important thing they mean to her.
Ter lover went over with a Canadian girl, with cornflower-blue
eyes and Scotch coloring. He went through England; and everybody
knows that the English girl's eves are deep and blue, and her hair soft
and long, and her complexfon so peachy that it doesn’t lok real—only
you KNOW it {s! He arrived in France and fought and livedsthere:
now France is not a “red” country—it is just the tantalizing, chie,
plquant face of a smiling girl with a tipped-nose, odd cheeks, winsome
eves and chin, slim little trotting ankles, and an air about her clothes
and manner. Italy, Belgium, Russia; he was long enough over to have
been in them all! Italy is no longer a “boot,” but & dusky woman in
vivid green and coral: sloe-eyed and slow-eyed, pomegranite lipped,
golden skinned. :
“He MUST have seen a million of her—or worse--only one or two,
not in the get-up they wear vren they come over here—OUß clothes
that just naturally put thelr glowing Southern light out!” Belgium is
a blonde, carnation-mouthed, honey-haired, round-cheeked maid in a
tight snow cap tied under a rosy chin, passing slowly by, looking with
round and intent eyes at the straight tan soldier—who is a stranger—a
far ally—~with woman eyes—therefore admiring ones. And, maybe, he
carried her sheaf of grain and walked beside her. HE would, of course
and ought!
RUSSIA! Once it was huge and many colored, and mean wolves
and ice and wild swans and Cossacks andd gleigh bells and Jewels, But
who hasn’t heard of the fascinating Russian! She smiles her strange.
eyed way under rippling, midnight hair through all romance. Young
Miss “Girl-he-left-behind-him™ shndders exquisitely! She feels very
small and yuunx.lnd‘:nh and bread-and-butterish, and “yes, SIMPLE,"
when she thinks perhaps he has met a Russian countess.
And while she twirls the globe to find this last country he served in
before coming down on the ocean traMl for home—she sees this land
and forgets even “Bolshevik"«—sees only an old, lovely fgee so different
from our own-—the “sculptor's” face—high-cheeked, whose smile ls
Mona Lisa's to us who do not understand her, mystary-eyved, hroad
browed, a dark jewel set in anow and white fur, a Madonna and a siren.
Miss Retty grows worldly-wise, pondering on the marching of her
soldter lover! i NELL BRINKLBY.

Working for a Tyrant
| By Eleanor Gilbert.
| HERE'S a young woman I know
T whose salary makes her the
general envy of all other busi
ness women who know her. For years
)nhe has held this highly paid position
and she's generally regarded as a
‘lrvnt success. She's lucky, they say.
But if truth be told, those who envy
‘her most would not hold her job for
~one day longer than they could resign
from it, if they ever had the chance
of filling the job temporarily, For
this lady has been private secretary
for some years to as intolerable a
tyrant as could be found west of
Russia.
He is chronically grouchy. He is

é War Stories
for the Child
By DR. WILLIAM a.“'mtm
One of the Nation's -Known So
ciological Writers.
OU can not hide the tragedies
r of life from the childrem,
Strange to kay, they have u
peculiar instinctive longing to inguive
into the conditions which malee a
sport of death and destruotion. The
awe and the mystery of the things
we older ones regard as terrible may
be made the beginnings of many val
uable lessons for our boys and girls,
Often we can both point a moral and
present a spiritual truth by means of
the tragic story. For example: .
Bertrand Jackson, a sturdy 18-/
year-old Canadian boy, left for the
war in February, 1917, with his fa
ther’s consent and his mother's
prayers to cheer him on his way. And
on the day of his enlistment this good
mother handed her son a card with
the admonition always to carry it in
his pocket and to read its contents
often.
Hast thou not known?
Hast thou not heard?
The everlasting God, the L%rd.
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Fainteth not, neither is weary;
There is no searching of His under
standing.
He giveth power to the faint;
And to him that hath no might He
increaseth strength.
Even the youth shall faint and be
weary,
And the young men shall utterly fail;
But they that wait upon the Lerd
shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings as
eagles;
They shall run and not be wearyg
They shall walk and not faint.
Bertrand not only carried the card
as requested, but he memorized these
charming verses, which express the
joy of the Prophet Isaiah over the
deliverance of God’s people by Cyrus.
It happened that the young Cana
dian was in the front of battle when
the Germans made their last great
drive In March, 1918, and that he
courageously volunteered one early
morning to ereep through the dense
woods to the German line and try to
obtamn information as to the enemy's
wire entanglements.
This he did, but the awful barrage
cavght him and held Mim there iso
lated all day.
Finally, at nightfall a great shen
came Bertrand’s way, the debris
stunned him and hid him from sight
Next morning he woke stiff and dazed
and saw the Germans on ahead, but
running back toward him from a
counter attack. They passed Again
without discovering him, and he was
saved with only a bruised head and
a broken collar bone.
“And, mother,” this brave youth
exclaimed at the time of their re
cent happy reunion, “I just sort of
enjoved it all, and was not afraid
All the time I kept saying over those
Bible verses”
In relating such a utoxj-y to the
children expand it into fuller detail
than we have room for here. Give
it a concrete setting, and in every
other way try to pleture the reality
Fmphasize the fact of the splendid
courage of the young soldier as he
volunteered to face death In such a
way, and bring out the idea of his
being one whom the officer must have
been proud to intrust with such a
tragic mission.
You may not feel justified n teach
ing the child to believe that Ber
trand's life was spared by Divine
Providence, but you should most
certainly make the point that the
Bible verses helped the boy tb glo
rify the deed to the point of enjoy
ment. God surely reigned in his stout
young heart.
Then, if yon have time, make your
child familiar with the glorious in
cident in the history of Israel as pic
tured here (chapter 40) by the great
poet-prophet Isalah,
