heart thrilled within him as he heard
them cheering for the hard working
Daisy. Next like cold wind came an
other cheer, "The dog the dog!" ne
heard them calling. "We want the
dog! We want the dog"
Ansel was alarmed indeed. What II
Daisy had to tell! What if the faculty
found out! Ansel sat there in his little
room in terror, and finally as the light
of day faded and the cheering ceased
he forgot his fear and remembered on
| ly the charm of Daisy.
Then Daisy came back to his office.
She had come up to thank him and to
tell him that no one would ever know.
AS she turned to go she blushed, and
then as he looked at her she blushed
again. Then, somehow, Ansel got up
his courage to tell Daisy that he loved
her, and Daisy, because she was so
tired and hot from the scene shifting,
cried a few tears on his shoulder and
TOLD him in whisper that she was the
happiest girl in Clayburn. And the old
Minervas of Ansel's dreams vanished
| forever.

VERMONT MILITIA
READY FOR SERVICE
Fully Prepared to Respond Immedi-
ately to Any Demand Upon It
Adjutant General S Statement.

The lst infantry, Vermont National
Guard, would be ready to respond at
once If called into service on account
of the Mexican troubles. The Reform
er made inquiry of Adit. Gen. Lee S.
Tillotson of st. Adams this week as to
the preparedness of the regiment to
respond to call to arms in the event
of clash with Mexico, and the follow
ing is Gen. Tillotson s reply:
"Replying to your letter of April
IA, 1914, | beg to say that the Vermont
National Guard has been for several
years considered by the War depart
ment to be properly equipped, disci-
plined and trained for field service.
Under the existing Federal laws, all
National Guard organizations, in order
to participate in the annual allotment
of funds, are required to be so equip
| ped and trained at, all times.
~ am not prepared to give you any
| detailed statement with reference to
the Mexican situation, because no spe-
cial preparation for any emergency in
that connection has been made.
t'When the regular army division
| was modified on the Mexican border
| two years ago, several officers of the
| Vermont National Guard were sent
down there at the request of the Wal
| department, for purposes of inStruc
ton. The National Guard of this state
will compare favorablv with that o.
/ other states as to efficiency for field ser
4 vice, and / consider it to be fully pre-
pared to respond Immediately to an,
demand that may be made upon it. -
