We are quite good friends, because

feels she just must talk to somebody
she seeks me out and tells it all to me,

heart that l wonder if l am going to
have to gUlp down lump to my utter
surprise find myself laughing aloud
at her, even as the tears swim in her
faded blue eyes that are not strang-

To describe her is hard. She is
small in stature, her face is quite
wrinkled, but she is eternally your
enemy if you call her odd" though
she passed her 6Oth birthday on July
1, without a crust in the house for
my birthday present. -
When she first came to me she said
she had been to the United Charities
but they wouldn't do anything for her
because they had helped her some
years before, and she has a son now

young men from the bank over to

clerk was a shrewd, close-mouthed in

training, he paid more attention to
the books than to any other detail Of
the store management.

Kenyon. Never mention this matter

The bank clerk understood.
To every one who inquired about
how Jim was progressing, Kenyon
shook his head mournfully. He was

Arras' Notable History.

Arras, scene of the great battle,
news of which is now arriving, is
linked with England in many memor-
able ways. This town, whose famous
tapestry is still ''arras" in British man
sions. saw the signing of the peace
after Agincourt, five centuries ago.
Captured and recaptured times with
out number in long-forgotten wars,
Arras-the capital of country of her
own-did not love France. Louis XI,
in the fifteenth century, punished the
town by changing its name to Fran
chise," which. however, refused to
stick, 1t was not until 1910 that Arras
became in reality French town. A
glance at the map in the region of the
recent fighting shows us notable places
which, like Arras, are familiar to the
housewife. One has only to think of

strange that more details were not
forthcoming about how the stricken
young man was progressing. He was
in a sanatorium, it was understood,
but no one knew what sanatorium.

when the bell of the bachelor apart

The following day jim appeared at
the store. It was different Jim from
the one Grasmere knew. He was hag-
gard and worn and there were streaks
of gray in his hair. He was very
quiet and subdued and had little of
the air of the buoyant Jim of old. His
old friends asked him many questions
about his illness. The subject dis
tressed him SO much that they didn't
press him. After tine the town. ac-
cepting the fact that Jim had been
very i'll, and hat the illness had made
Lin much older, ceased to talk about
him Something else developed to en-
gage the attention of the people and
things moved on in their old grooves.
Jim applied himself to business even
more earnestly than before. Kenyon
was more Aindly than ever in his at
titude toward him. They didn't dine
once a week as formerly, but once a
day Kenyon wandered into the store
and chatted with the young man. Jim
was much embarrassed at first by
these visits, but gradually he became
accustomed to them. Once he sug-
gested rather timidly that Mr. Kenyon
should have the books examined.
NO, Jim; that's all right" said the
big man.
