@ HEO sat alone on the veranda
In the moonlight. Back in the
little sitting-room, father and
Aunt EN- had made fire in the CRATE,
and sat before it playing chess. They
felt the cold even ON late May night,
and moonlight had ceased to charm
them.
Upstairs there was a light in Kath-
leen's room. Theo knew, because she
could see the yellow streak of it on the
white wall of the next house. Suddenly
1t vanished, and Kathleen, singing,
came downstairs and whisked out at
the door, with her long, loose coat over
her arm. She caught glimpse of her
sister out of the corner of her eye and
turned.

Julia Sanderson gazed beautifully at
the stylish figure reflected in the long
mirror.
"Yes, 1t fits WELL" she said, "but 1t
isn't the cut that l wanted. 1 don't
know suppose that could exchange
it II don't like it?"
"We are always willing to exchange
garments If they haven't been worn"
the salesgirl replied, but I'm sure that
you would like this. 1t Is Of the best
material made"
Something-some suppressed eager
ness In the voice-made Miss Sander
son glance at the other girl She saw
mcagcr little creature with troubled
eye3 and a shy, nervous manner-the
worst kind Of manner for her work.
Julla's friends called her too impul-
sive," and one Of her impulses moved
her then.

decision.
"Oh," the girl cried, a soft colol
flushing her face, I'm sure you'll like
tl' She just caught back In time the
I'm SO gladw on the tip of her tongue.
The lovely young lady could not guess
what 1t meant to her to make one good
sale.
Julia had seen the look and went
home In a comfortable glow of self-ap-
prevail; but when the coat appeared the
glow faded to doubt.
II believe I'll slip 1t ON and see what
Dell Armstrong says about It," she re-
solved. ''That won't be wearing 1t
1t will only be deciding whether I'll
keep It."
1t was a long way to Dell Arm
strong's, but Julia returned decided.
Dell had agreed that the coat did not
become her and must go back. Julia
was folding 1t to put into the box when
spot on the under side of the sleeve
caught her eye, and with rush Of dis
daughter had climbed into her lap
| with a candy in her hand. For a mo-
ment she hesitated, then she closed
the box resolutely. She did not know
that the spot was not there all the
time; and anyway, they knew how to
clean things at Barnard's. 1t would
not make any difference to them.
So Julia carried the cloak back. The
little salesgirl grew white when she
saw her, but she only asked, mechani-
cally. "tt hasn't been worn. Of courser'
II merely tried it on to decide"
julia answered. The girls face irri-
tated her-as If exchanging things was
not part of their business! When the
credit slip was given her she hurried
away with sigh Of relief; the dis
agreeable business was over at last
But 1t was not quite. That night the
girl known as No. 6 was called to the
office. A cloak sold by her had been
returned damaged, the forewoman re-

At last the contest over the New les
lament as to it's literal Interpretation
has reached the Episcopalians. A great
movement toward a more liberal inter
probation of the New Testament has be-
gun in the Protestant Episcopal church.
Among the leaders in the movement are
men who have been prominent in politi-

concerned are ex-Mayor Seth Low,
Banker George Foster Peabody, R. Full

It has not been determined just how
to bring the reform into practical execu-

the appeal has been more widely circu-
lated. The whole question will be
brought before the next general conven-
tion of the Episcopal church.

Elvin Herman Undergoes Ampu-

Into Navy.

Mutilation by the surgeons knife
was the price which Elvin Herman Of
Delano, Mimi, willingly paid for the
privilege Of enlisting in the navy. He
walked into the naval recruiting office
in the federal building today with one
hand swathed in bandages and calmly
remarked to Dr. Robert Backman, the
examining surgeon; "Well, doctor, it s
off and I'm ready to make my appli-
cation
Herman applied for enlistment yes
terday, but a short examination showed
that, while he was a splendid example
of the type Of physical manhood de-
veloped upon the farms of the north
west, an injured finger on his right
hand would prevent his acceptance. The
finger had been crushed in the gear
of threshing machine when he was
a boy and careless or inexpert coun-
try physician had set it 50 poorly that
the first joint was 50 much out of line
the finger was an impeachment to the
use of the hand.

son for his rejection and expected that
Herman would take the dismissal as
final. But the man from Delano had
thought long time before deciding to
leave the farm for service under the

from his purpose. .-...,. 49, .
DR.. Backman decided that If the dis.
torted first joint were removed he would
be acceptable, in view Of his other quail

determination, the youth presented him
self at the clinic and submitted to the
operation. A week or so will show
whether or not the operation has been
successful, and he can enter the service
as he desires.
