reached their table u woman looked up
and smiled. The comedian recognized

mother OF one OF the young girls at the
table with hls daughter. He greeted her
efluslvely He compllmonted her. He
remarked that her young dRughter grow
more like her every day He was en-
Enthusiastically glad TO gco her. His
daughter had seen the meeting ana re-
marked, IAN, papa has found friend,

they passed out, Reed leaned over the
woman again, and said some pretty
things. the woman. rs she had done be-

WARNING
a TORNADO is COMING.

a large b!ack-faccd flag like the one
used hy the weather bureau, was rep
resented on the card, conveying the
idea that the pastebOHrds were issued
of.cially. The condition OF the weather
was threatening. and when the people
saw these advertising cards they be-
came very much alarmed. Soon tho po-
leo, the weather bureau and the news
paper Offices were flooded with telc-
pE6no and private messages asking II n
tornado was really predicted. People
In the resident portion OF the city gath
cred their families together and pre-
pared for trouble. Many Of the schools
on the South Side and in the West End
closed us coon as word was received OF
the supposed approaching storm. and
the frightened children came home
trembling and in tears to toll the bad
news to their parents. All through that
locality where the fearful tornado OF
last May spread so much death. the
terror Of the women especially was pit
liable. Many families took refuge In tho
cellars. and II was not until the murky
clouds began to disappear TINT they
could BE- persuaded to leave. In the
meantime the police were busy tearing
up the awe-lnspirInE placards and as
surfing the people that there was no
danger. A cold reception awaits the
Tornado company and its advance agent
has suddenly disappeared.

turned away in irrepressible chagrin
and distress and covered his face with
his hands. Helen Daunton, forgetful
for TIE moment of her own bitter trou-
BILE, had sought to aid her friend in con-
soling the boy, but it was her first expe-
rience in such case. She had never
realized what it meant to proud and
ambitious young soldier to be held in
garrison when his comrades were being
sent to the field, and, finding presently
that she could be of little aid, she drew
away toward the window to Join the
chaplain and his wife, who were gaz-

with groan that seemed to rise from
the depths Of his heart, poor Will threw
himself face downward upon the sofa,
utterly refusing to be comforted.
