"What?" Carolyn exclaimed. HAS

Rosamund nodded sedately. Hes

Carolyn jumped up excitedly. and
was about to speak. when Flodie, smil.

room. She walked up TO Carolyn. "Oh.
here are your proofs, Miss Dallys."
she said blthely. I'm sorry kept

toward Rosamund. "Oh, see you

proofs without looking at them. Miss

Flodie turned to Rosamund. Miss
Dallys is a very intimate friend of
Mr.. Bonistelle. you know"
All the starch went out OF Rosa
mund's pose. "She is?" She gazed
at Carolyn as at zebra.
Carolyn shrugged her shoulders and
gave a casual glance at the proofs.
"Oh, Miss Fisher" she said, would
you mind printing another one OF each
OF these two? I'd like to send them
to my mother, and see which one she
likes better" She handed them back
to Flodie. "T'll wait" she added, her
eyes on Rosamund.
Rosamund added. Il think III walt

Why should you think that?"
Carolyn laughed; she was now thor
oughly enjoying herself. well, then,
I'm Carolyn Dallys," she volunteered.
IL think you must be Miss Gale, aren't
you? I've seen Halls pictures OF you,
ysu know" Something suspicious in
Rosamund's face impelled her to add
mischievously. "And he's often spoken
TO me about you
Rosamund showed her irritation at
the patronizing air of familiarity only
by the slightest flush. Indeed" she
said, its queer he hasn't told me
about you"
"Oh, there's very little TO tell" That
was what Carolyn's lips said, but her
whole face told different story. In
the woman's language of smiles she
was an adept and Carolyn's smile was
cruel
IL was now evident that, unless Rosa
mund could distinguish herself from
the vast horde of Hall Bonistelle's fe.
male friends. she would expire of
shame. Carolyn. without knowing ex.
actly what caused the girl to suffer,
was rejoicing in her lack Of ease. She
watched Rosamund grope for an ef.
fectual reply. At last It came with
a proud toss OF the blonde head and a
fash OF the golden brown eyes.
"Oh, see," she said. Il didn't
know by the way you spoke first, but
perhaps you know him pretty well.
OF course Hall and are quite good
friends, you know"
"Yes7" Carolyn was more attentive.

A Wonderful Prayer.
II was wonderful prayer this.
First. IL was SO unselfish. lie was not
praying for himself but for people
who. for the most part, he did not
know and had never seen. They were
his cotntrymen. that was all, and they
were in sore need. How much do we
ever pray for our southern negroes. or
the mountain whites, or the detected
Indians on our western plains, or our
dependents in the Philippines? What
real interest have we I'm either their
material or spiritual condition?
Second. IL was such a humble
prayer. Somehow or other he felt a
sense of personal responsibility for
the condition of his countrymen afar
off though they were. lie confessed
10 sin in the premises, and included
his fathers house" in his confession.
IL he and his ancestors had acted diff
ferently things would not have been
as they were. What do we know OF
that?
Third, the prayer was helpful new
ertheless. Hopeful, because he had a
strong promise OF God to rest upon
Remember thy word" he said, and
then he quoted that word. Can you
do that? You must know the prom
ises to be able to do it. and you know
the promiser also. How much do you
search Gods word to discover it's
treasures for yourself or others. and
how much do you exercise yourself to
bring them down from heaven for life
on earth? Nehemiah just agreed with
God about this matter All! that Is
power. Read the chapter for yourself
and see how he did II.
Fourth, the prayer was very def
mite. He didn't go round Robin Hoods
barn as the saying is. He didn't mouth
out a lot OF fine phrases or pious notn-
ings. He told God just what he want
please him to give IL. He was going
10 stand before the king on a certain
day in his capacity as cup-bearer, and
that would be a good time 10 ask
favor OF the king. He was going TO
ask him that he might be commits.
stoned as governor OF Jerusalem TO go
up there and build the walls and de-
liver his people out OF their afiiction.
The king must be disposed TO grant
the request, and he asked God so TO
dispose him. Why do not the rest OF
us cultivate that simplicity and d.
rectness? How interesting II would
make both our private and public de-
and how IL would enhance
Gods glory as we thus came TO look
for answers TO what we asked
Fifth, the prayer was successful. OF
course. 1T pleased the king TO send
me-" says he, "and set him time"
The God Of Nehemiah still lives end
nothing is too hard for him. The prom
ise in Philippians reads: BE anx-
lous for nothing; but in everything by
prayer and sUpplication. with thanks
giving, let your requests be made
known unto God" Our national
day will soon be here
again. and II sincerely we count our
national blessings during the past
year, II will be the best preparation
'or that earnest prayer we so much
need. Affections are upon US in GER
ain quarters and perils are ahead and
greatly do we as nation need God.

AMMUNITION SHY, BUT
U. S. SAFE, He DECLARES
Representative Sherley. in Charge of
$4,000. 900 Fortihcations Bill Passed
by House, Talks of Situation.

An admission was made in the HOUSE
yesterday by Representative Sherley. o.
Kentucky. in charge Of the fertilization:
bill. that there Is a shortage in ammuni
ton for seacoast defense guns. but In
sisted there was no ground for alarm
Il do not believe it is alarming" said
Mr.. Sherley. because ii is my opinion
that you will not have all of your guns
OH one coast. let alone on both asts ir
action at the same time"
Representative Sherley replied Il
charges made by Representative Gard
ner. of Massachusetts. that the seacoast
defenses are inadequate. He insisted that
the coast defenses were much more eff.
ficient than had been represented By
critics like Mr.. Gardner.
Mr.. Sherley favored the assembling
of larger supply OF war material thar
the government now keeps on hand
Mr. Sherley said the War Department
had divided the powder between the
two coasts. on the theory that if an at
tack was made a quick transfer could
be made from one coast to another. He
expressed the opinion that it would not
be long before both coasts would be
supplied with sufficient ammunition to
keep the guns busy for at least two
hours in case of bombardment.
Discussing the shortage of ammuni-
tion Mr.. Sherley said:
For continental United States the
estimate of ammunition was as to suf-
ficient amount to supply all the guns
for one hour OF fire. We have of the
amount that is deemed requisite some
thing over 70 per cent for guns and
mortars. For guns of the heavy sort
we have 100 per cent. for the lighter
guns it ran down. For the 14-inch
guns the ammunition is now under
manufacture. We have but one 16-inch
gun. and the carriage for il will be
finished this summer. As i have said.
do not think that is altogether a
most desirable situation regarding am
munition."
In the main Mr.. Sherley contended that
the Notifications of the country afford
reasonable protection and that the United
States is as we'll fortified. all things
considered, as any other nation. Rela-
tive to the fear of ombardment Of cities.
Mr.. Sherley said:
I'VE have not fortified all of the cities
and probably never shall do SO. 1t would
be possible for an enemy's fleet to bonn
bard them. providing you assume num-

Drama League Plans to Vivify His

Plans designed to take Shakespeare

he went into the poolroom, and while he
waited for DR.. Barstow. DR.. Barstow
went into the poolroom. Witnesses saw
that the reporter talked to no one else.
and that he could not have obtained CO.
caine from anyone else.
DIR. Barstow and the reporter went to
the rear of the pool room. where they
discussed the Federal drug law. As Dr.
Barstow held a copy of the law in his
right hand, he put two eight ounce
bottles of cocaine into the reporters
overcoat pocket.
The reporter left, and gave the CO.
caine to Pharmacy Inspector Sanders.
DIR. Barstow, during these converse
lions. showed Willingness to buy
quantity Of cocaine, as he had sug-
Eested. At first he suggested bsying
SIS or so worth, hut later hinted ut
more when the reporter talked OF hav-
ing more money.
DIR. Barstow did not doubt that the
law could be broken. and he told the
reporter that he had made a trip to
Baltimore to arrange to buy a quantity
of cocaine. DIR. Earstow said he eX-
pected a letter from Baltimore drug
firm. The reporter was to meet him
and arrange the sale.
The Herald tomorrow will tell the
detailed story of the purchases of CO.
caine from DIR. Barstow.
