edge of the town. Here he had better
| an end to his wanderings for the
| night; he found clerk who relnem-
bered his face without remembering
his name, and who, consequently, was
| not unwilling to talk. Drummond, 1t
seemed, had lived at the club; he had
| dined alone. that evening, in his room;
had ordered his motor car from the ad-
| jacent garage for seven o'clock; and
had left at about that hour with
small handbag and no companion.
Nothing further was known of his
actions save the police report. The car
had been found stationary ON Wash
ington bridge, and deserted, Drum
mond's motor coat and cap on the
drivers seat. Bystanders averred that
| man had been seen to leave the car
| and precipitate himself from the bridge
! to the stream below. The body was
still unrecovered. The club had nOti-
| fed by telegraph brother in San
Francisco, the only member of Drum
mond's family of whom it had any rec
ord. Friends, fellow members of the
club, were looking after tllings-doing
| all that could and properly ought to be
| done under the circumstances.
Whitaker walked back to his hotel.
There was no other place to go; no
place, that is, that wooed his humor in
that hour. He was, indeed, profoundly
shocked. He held himself measurably
| responsible for Drummonds act of deS-
peration. Next to poor Peter Stark,
| whom his heart mourned without ceas-
| ing, he had cared most for Drummond
of all the men he had known. and liked
in the old life. Now he felt
alone and very lonely, sick of heart
and fororn. There was, of course,
Lynch, his partner in the Antipodes; ;
| Whitaker was fond of Lynch, but not
| with the affection that senerous-spir-
| tied youth had accorded Peter Stark
and Drummond-a blind and unreason-
| ing affection that asked no questions
and made nothing of faults. The ca
pacity for such sentiment was dead in
| him, as dead as Peter Stark, as dead
as Drummond.
| 1t was nearly midnight, but the hour
| found Whitaker in no humor for bed or
| the emptiness of his room. He strolled
into the lounge, sat down at detached
table in a corner, and ordered some
thing to drink. A page, bearing some
thing on q salver. ambled through the
lounge, now and again opening his
mouth to ble,'t, diSpaSSiOnately "NIis-
| ia Whitaker, Mista Whitaker"'
The owner of that name experienced
flush of e-.asperation. What right
had the management to cause him to
be advertised in every public room of

ended by grabbing kitty up in his arms.
This was too much, for Snooksy was
an armful, and down went Wee Billy,

Such a mix-up!

legs and a much-alarmed cat who man.
aged to crawl from under his little
master and sought the farthest corner
In the front hall from which he could
view Wee Billy Boy safely, and also
be ready to run if such another scene
seemed imminent.
Billy Boy had solved the problem.
What was it his teacher had told him
about the Christmas baby?
The small mind groped for the much
desired information, but in vain. Any
how, it didn't matter. Of course
Santa Claus brought the Christmas
Baby. because he brought all things at
Christmas time; so why not write San
to and tell him all about it.
Wee Billy Boy rushed to mammals
desk and was soon busy. Had he time
to send his letter? 1t still lacked a
week to Christmas and everybody was
busy, so "Billy Boy mustn't bother"
when he had asked his pretty mother !;
but he guessed it wouldn't take long
for letter to reach such a well-known
old gentleman. So Billy Boy wrote:
Dear Sanity Claus, I want little
brother, not big one, but one just
lovin' billy boy"
He put the letter in the fireplace,
happy in the knowledge that Santa
Claus had received it because it
''burned so bootifully."
Wee Billy guarded his precious Sc
cret carefully and counted the days.
He haunted the doors and was in the
way generally. meaning to intercept
anybody bringing a baby brother. But
the week passed and heavy-hearted
little boy was tucked into bed by
Daddy Boy after strenuous time un-
dressing and the hanging of the stock
ing.
Where was his precious mamma,
why wasn't she there to kiss and tuck
him in?
But Daddy Boy said she was "get-
ting ready for Santa Claus" and of
course, Daddy Boy knew, but-and the
heavy lids dropped and body grew
quiet. Wee Billy Boy was in Dream
land, having an awful fight with a new
brother, who insisted on sitting on
Snooksy.
Morning dawned and Billy Boy
opened his eyes only to remember the
day, and shouting:
merry Christmas, Mamma, Merry
Christmas, Daddy Boy!"
He jumped out of bed. Daddy Boy
met him at the door, and strange to
say, was all dressed.
did he bring him, Daddy Boy? Oh!
Did hep
Bring what, SOM" asked Daddy
Boy.
"a brother. I wrote Santa Claus for
a brother" And the blue eyes grew
teary as he looked at his stocking, but
saw no sign of the coveted brother.
"You come with me, son; perhaps
you haven't looked in the right place."
And picking up Billy Boy in his
arms. he tiptoed into mammals room,
and there in his precious mothers bed
was a brand new baby brother.
Santa Claus hadn't forgotten Wee
Billy Boy after all.

Collars, Convertible and Otherwise.

The trend of fashion in collars is
toward the original and unusual, espe-
cially in separate collars to be worn
for added warmth with suits or frocks.
Collars have taken their inspiration
from every period and cline, but only
a hint of their origin is discernible in
most of them, for about all coat and
separate collars are convertible. That
is, whatever the style of the collar to
start with, it is convertible into a muf-
fer-collar that swathes all of the
throat and part of the head.
Costumers, having centered their at
tention on collars. have contrived some
ingenious novelties on blcuses and
one-piece frocks, but these are another
story told in the dainty terms of chif-
fon, crepe, georgette, and net. A
wrath of the ensWathing mufl1er-col-
lar appears in airy scarfs of malines

that are worn with evening and dance
frocks. They are wrapped loosely
about the neck and shoulders and sug-
gest floating mist about the figure.
Everyone wears them.
A very wide cape-collar is shown in
the picture, on a handsome fur coat.
1t is converted into a muff1er-collar by
utilizing buttons and buttonholes also.
The latest arrival in collars is sim
pie to the last degree. 1t is merely
wide band of fur which stands straight
up about the peck and fastens with a
rosette and soft ends of ribbon at one
side. Or the ties may be of crepe. In
either case they match the fur in color.
The plainest of coats may depend
upon a spirited collar to give it class,
and the element of style in blouses and
frocks as well lie more in the collar
than in any other detail, at present

These delightful little bags of brightly

scraps of japanese silks could not be
found. If you want something partic-

He bowed.

Mrs. Secretan nodded an assent.
"You will find materials in the desk
there" she added, indicating an es-
critoire.
Thanking her, Whitaker sat down,
and, after some hesitation, wrote few
lines:
Please don't think I mean to cause you
the slightest Inconvenience or distress. l
shall be glad to further your wishes in
any way you may care to designate.
Please believe in my sincere regret .
Signing and folding this, he rose and
delivered it to Mrs. Secretan.
He found himself in the street. with
his trouble for all reward for his pains.
He wondered what to do, where to 60,
next. The driver of the taxicab was
holding the door for him, head bent to
catch the address of the next stop. But
his fare fingered still in doubt.
Dimly he became aware of the vfo-
lent Rawlings of brace of news ven-
doris who were ramping through the
street, one on either sidewalk. At the
spur of vague wonder if the papers

The man galloped on, bowling. But
Whitaker stood with his gaze riveted
in horror. The news item so pointed1y
offered to his attention was clearly
legible in the light of the cab lamps:

Memorial Day brings home to us a
neglected truth in regard to the mem
bers OF the Grand Army of the Re-
public; that while words fail to ex-
press the loyalty, devotion and self
sacrifice OF those who went forth to
the front, to battle and to death, great
indeed is the service that was render
ed by those who had fought so nobly
and so well who were with us today.
All Europe is in the midst of the
greatest war Of history because for
years and for generations nations
have cherished the sin of hate in their
hearts. But today the problems of our
land are the problems of free and
united people because the members of
the Grand Army of the Republic re-
turned home with their hearts full of
love to all and malice toward none.
That within fifty years after the sur
render of Lee to Grant we have for
a president native of southern
state. This is due to the Christian
spirit shown by the veterans whom we
delight to honor. And if this nation
expects to live up to its highest ideals
it must follow the high standard set
by the members of the Grand Army OF
the Republic.
