It was dusky in the secluded
alcove, very dusky, and they sat
silent. Something seemed to be
on his mind. His face took on
a strained look, like muddy cof-
fee. He stirred uneasily, strange
ly. She fiirted with her fan, he
with her eyes. Suddenly the
music struck up. It was his
dance again, and she "adored''
dancing.
Damn" he whispered. Then
she sprang it.

II am wondering" said Sharpy, the
squirrel, "if they will remember"
What are you wondering if they
will remember?" asked Chippy Chap
by the chipmunk "And WIG do you
mean by they? You must be more
clear, SHARPLY. Even with the quick
wits I have I cannot understand YOU"
"Sorry," said Sharpy. "But I mean
that I wonder if people and children
will remember to give Us something to
eat. They're having the most wonder
full dinner in there"
Sharpy led Chippy Chappy up a side
porch which looked in on the dining
room. There sat big family, a moth
er, daddy, grandmother, and several
children. They were having their
Christmas dinner.
Chippy Chappy squeaIed delightedly.
ooh, food" he said. "And SO much
food, tooi Right in the middle Of win
ter. How could they ever save so
much and where DO you suppose they
hid it?"
"Tm not wondering about where they
hid it, when now it's right out in the
open-at least almost in the open,''
said Sharpy.
awe might be able to see where
some more is hidden" said Chippy
Chappy.
ooh, dear; oh, dear" said Sharply.
"YOu're q very queer little chipmunk.
/ believe in saving up for hard days,
but you are always thinking of the
future"
"What's the future?' asked Chippy
Chappy as he sat upon his hind feet
and looked at SHARPLY.
"The future means the days ahead
the days that haven't come yet, but
the ones we expect to come"
"Then if we expect them to come,'
said ChipDy Chappy, "isn't it we'll to
be prepared for them?"

this is q special feast and we might
as well enjoy it without thinking all

the chosen representatives of the pec-
DIE, exercising their constitutional duty
and with a realizing sense of their
great responsibility, announced in joint
resolution 'that the state of war be-
tween the United States and the i'm
perial German government which has
been thrust upon the United States is
hereby formally declared" and that
''tO bring the conflict to a successful
termination all the resources of the
country are hereby pledged"
This is our promise to those we help,
our warning and threat to those we
fight. Our own fair name is bound
up in this pledge. Our honor demands
that it be met to the full measure.
From the time congress and the presi-
dent thus spoke for US it became the
duty, moral and legal, Of each of us
to abate nothing that lay within his
power to make our pledge good. What
ever our views, whatever our sympa-
thies heretofore had been, the quarrel
was now our quarrel, and we must be
true to it in order to be true to our
selves. That this meant that some of
US must break with cherished memo
ries, with friends, home, and kindred,
cannot matter. So broke our fathers,
who gave us our liberties; so must
we break to preserve them. The man
who is unwilling to make that sacrifice
is unworthy the liberties he enjoys and
is unwelcome in our midst. The SOW
ereign people Of the United States have
Wiiled that our every available re-
source of men and industry must play
it's part in winning this war, and no

saving and to Think Of the future, as
I said before, but take a piece of adj
vice, Chippy Chappy. That is-enjoy
the present. Have a good time and
be happy every day as the days come
around"
81 don't see that we're enjoying our
selves so much by seeing those people
in there who are eating. That is
neither saving for the future nor eat
ing in the present, said Chippy Chap
by.
''Wait, have patience" said SHARPLY.
He ran along the porch and told Chip
Ply Chappy to follow him.
"What are you doing this for?' asked
Chippy Chappy.
''We want to make a noise so they
will notice us" said SHARPLY.
perhaps they won't like u.s." said
Chippy Chappy. "And some folks don't
enjoy noise"
'They look as if they liked it,"
Shrieked SHARPLY. Listen to the chill
dren. / don't believe they will hear
us"
But when Chippy Chappy and SHARPLY
began TO Scamper over the porch and
as they shrielled at each other, some
times as if they were scolding and
sometimes as if they were laughing,
the people in the dining room heard
them.
ooh" said the children, there is
squirrel and a dear little chipmunk ="
SHARPLY and Chippy Chappy looked
their very best, or tried to standing on
their hind legs and looking very sweet
and cunning as they begged. Their
little mouths were moving ali the time

ave must share Christmas dinner
with Them" said the children.
SHARPLY and Chippy did not know the
difference between Christmas dinner
and any other kind, but they did know
that this seemed to be an especially
fine dinner.
1--WE have quantities Of nuts today"
said the children. Isn't that fne?"
And can assure you that SHARPLY and
Chippy Chappy thought it was fine,
too.
The children fed the little creatures
who had splendid meals and who also
took many nuts home as Chippy Chap
by suggested.

dren as they emptied the last dish Of
nuts, and though the little chipmunk
and squirrel did not quite know what
it meant they knew it meant some
thing very, very nice!
