scandal. and he'll be done for the rest
OF his life-never able to look a man
in the eye again. And he was such a
decent chap too. There's nothing
much I wouldn't do for Larry"
But isn't there some way we can
stop it, something we can do?" Say

about it. How did you happen to find
out all this?"
calm himself. Down at the hydro
hangers just now. I was taking a look
over the machine you said you'd teach
me to fly tomorrow There wasn't
another soul about, and everything was
AS quiet as the grave, when I heard the
sound of a motorbOat coming into the
cove. / waited until it had run up
close to shore. and then I switched on
the searchlight.
1T was Sergeant Oakford in the sta
tion's hydroplane- He had her muf-
fled and was trying to sneak in with
out anyone hearing him. 1 put him
through the third degree, | tell you.
He was confused and evasive, but
finally made him admit that he had
taken Warner up to Edgewater Beach
and that somebody there had taken
Warner in an auto across country to
the Junction where ne gong to catch
the midnight express for the north.
"Oakford was as flustered as the
devil and didn't want to talk-said he
had sworn to Warner not to give him
away. Warmers been awfully chum-
my with Oakford, you know. in spite
Of Oakford being only a sergeant and
an army man and Warner a navy Of
ficer. That's the way with you navy
men You're rather decent bunch
not a lot Of snobs l mean, like us army
men. You'd never catch an army man
being chubby with nom cOm-or with
ANYBODY else for that matter. But
Warner and Oakford have had charge
Of the wirelesshouse so long together,
1 imagine that made them rather
friendly.
aAnd that's all I could get out Of
Oakford. He's tight as clam now.
And when / threatened to have him
locked up il he didn't make a clean
breast of it. he told me to go ahead
and lock him up; he had promised
Warner not to give him away, and
that was all there was to it.

feverishly. his hands clasped behind his
back. Lardener watched him impa-

The Girl Cynio
Little Story of the Present.
nv BFATRTCE FAIRFAX.


"HERE was once a girl who trusted
everybody. She had builded the
structure Of her life on the basis
of an old quotation proverb from
the German; "As one shouts into the
forest, 80 echo returns to you"
She met the world on a basis OF
trusting good fellowship and the world
seldom failed her.
Clerks in shops rewarded amiability
with interest walters in hotels showed
an intelligent desire to please. Men
who found that she was always on
time for engagement seldom kept her
waiting to be called for old people to
whom she gave kindly courtesy spoke
well of her; hostesses who discovered
that she was punctilious about keeping
nest interesting parties. Lucille gave
the world the square deal OF trust and
honesty and the world awarded her
prizes in most Of its games.
Then she met a man Of whose weak
good looks any psychologist might
truths. She. however, was not a psy-
chologist So she followed numerous
of her sisters before her and fell very
much in love with George. George
plumed himself on conquest, introduced
Lucille to friends as characterless as
himself and threw her over without
conjunction at the end of month.
Lucille was startled, but her faith in
human nature came up unchanged
when Cyril-one of Georges friends
proceeded to console her by kindly de-
votion that lasted two months Cyrils
detection came in due time and then
William offered his services as ply
stefan to wounded pride.
Three months later Lucille found ser
self in possession Of what she deemed
a broken heart. As a matter of fact
she had a badly sprained attitude

Germans, Hoarding Iron
Coins As Souvenirs OF
War, Cause Hdrdships

Berlin. Germany, Feb 1.-THE semi
official 'Norddeutsche Allgemeine Eel
tunE" complains that the iron five
pfenning pieces which are issued to re-
lieve the shortage of small coins have
been systematically kept from ctrcu-
lation by the public. The government
organ says:
although hundreds Of thousands OF
iron coins leave the mint every day.
very few of them are seen in circula-
ton. Undoubtedly they are kept as
war souvenirs by the public The
boarding of these coins cannot be too
severely condemned and is unpatriotic.
as il neutralizes the efforts Of the gov
ernment to strengthen the economic
situation by furnishing sufficient
means of exchange The iron coins
must stay in circulation as long as the
war lasts. After peace is concluded
they may be collected as souvenirs
without endapgering the economic IN
terests of the empire"

Becomes a Cynic.
And Lucille became a cynic At
2s she had mastered such watchwOrds
as. lyon might as well do the other
fellow and do him first" ''No man is
ever on the level with a woman" "The
world is cruel and relentless place
ard it doesn't appreciate honesty"
Now Lucille was short to servants.
peremptory to clerks Indifferent to
old folks and careless about her en-
gagements. And as she shouted into
the forest, so the echo came back to
her.
And Just then, when she knew with
exactly what cynicism to laugh at pro-
testations of love. a Real Man came
into her life When he told her he
loved her, Lucille replied: of course
you do-today" And whens he as
sured her that he had never cared so
much for any woman as for her. Luz
cile was ready with a flippant That's
what they all say"
She didn't mean to let any man make
her suffer againi She was too wise
for that. And the Real Man woOed
a merry young cynic for three months
and forgave broken engagements and
overlooked forgotten appointments
and tried to keep his ideal of the girl
he loved alive in spite of her best ef-
forts to destroy It. And the girl
neither believed the man nor gave him
any reason to believe in her.
So one day Lucille discovered that
she had been deserted again and she
smiled cynically and assured herself
that the world was indeed poor place.
MOfAL-When you learn a clever
aphorism like AS you shout into the
woods echo returns to you" II is
good idea TO test it out thoroughly.
