Message to All Children.

Miss Mabel T. Boardman sends this
message to all the children: Soldiers
in camp will be very lonesome, and
when their daily routine work is done
they should have games to amuse them
We will soon have wounded and sick in
hospitals. There will be nothing better
to help entertain these men than the
games that have helped to make you
happy. Save up your games. your pic
ture puzzles, and presently the Red
Cross will let you know where to send
them. so that they may be distributed
to the soldiers and sailors.
Every woman. be she high school girl,
college student or the mother of family,
should make soldiers comfort bag. 1t
is especially urged that every young
woman attending academies and colleges
should make at least one OF these bags
for the District Chapter of the Red Cross.
In the equipment of base hospital, 500
TO 500 Of these bags are required, and. as
they are the one article that the wounded
or sick soldier is allowed to take with
him, there is constant need for an in
creased number of comfort bags.
Miss Boardman. who is active chairman
of the Woman Volunteer Aid. which is
equipping the base hospital and taking
general charge Of providing whatever
home comforts are possible for the SOL
diers and sailors, advises that these bags
should be made from bright-colored wash
able material: that they should be ten
by thirteen inches, with drawing string
at the top. Bright coored tapes should
be used to bind the bags and make the
strings
What Bags Should Contain.
These bags also can be filled by the

CHAPTER 1T.
The Rest of the Family.

It was Saturday morning when the tour young parsonage girls arrived in Mount Mark. The elderly Misses Avery, aext door, looked out of their windows, pending their appearance on Main street, with interest and concern. They were Episcopalians themselves, and in all their long lives they had never so much as heard of widower-rector with five daughters and no housekeep- er. There was something blood-cur- ding in the bare idea.
 The Misses Avery considered Pru- dence herself rather a sweet, silly little thing.
 You have some real nice people in the Methodist church." Miss Dora had told her. T dare say you will find few of them very likable.''
 "Oh, I will like them all." said Pru- 1ence quickly and seriously.
 Like them all" echoed Miss Dora. "Oh, impossible p

ference, when Rev Mir. Starr was as- signed to Mount Mark, the Ladies of the church had felt great interest in the man and his family. They inquired on every hand, and learned several in teresting items. The mother had been taken from the family five years be- fore, after a long illness, and Prudence, the eldest daughter, had taken charge of the household. There were five chil- dren. So much was known, and being women. they looked forward with eager curiosity to the coming of Pru- dence, the young mistress of the par sonage.
 Mir. Starr had arrived at Mount Mark week ahead of his family Prudence and the other children had spent the week visiting at the home. of their aunt, and Prudence had come on day in advance of the others to wind ev- erything up," as she had expressed it.
 But to return to the Ladies-the par sonage girls always capitalized the La dies of their fathers church-"One of us should go and help the dear child.n said Mrs. Scott, the president of the Aids, when they assembled for their business meeting, 'help her, and well come her, and advise her."
 Il was thinking of going over," said one, and another. and several others.
 "Oh. that will not do at all," said the president. "I think in a case like this the president herself should represent the society. Therefore, I will under take this duty for you"
 But this called forth a storm of pro- test and 1t became so clam0rous that 1t was unofficially decided to draw cuts Which was done, and in consequence of that drawing of cuts, Mrs. Adams now sat on the front porch of the old gray parsonage, cheered by the knowl- edge that every other Lady of the Aid was envying her!
 Now, just be real sociable and tell me all about yourself, and the others. too" urged Mrs. Adams. 'I want to know all about every one of you. Tell me everything"
 "There isn't much to tell" said Pru- oVhtC are i've OI us l am the oldest-I am nineteen. Then comes Fairy, then the twins, and then the baby"
 Are the twins boys, or boy and a girl?'
 Neither" said Prudence "they are both girls
 More girls!" gasped Mrs Adams. And the babyi'
 .She is girl. too" And Prudence laughed. "In short, we are all girls except father. He couldn't be, of course-or 1 suppose he would, for our family does seem to run to girls
 Prudence is very nice name for a minister's daughter said Mrs. Ad- ans suggestiveIy.
 "Yes-for some ministers daugh- ters," assented Prudence. But is sad- ly unsuitable for me-
 Mrs. Adams looked critically Al this young daughter of the parsonage. Then her eyes wandered down to her

 ."But barn.' calculated the per- piexed member" Do you call that a blessing?"
 "Yes, indeed I do," declared Pru- dence. Then she explained patiently: "Oh, it is on the children's account. you know. They have always longed for a big, romantic barn to play in. That's why 1 couldn't resist saying my prayers--I was so happy I couldn't hold in.'
 As they walked slowly toward the house, Mrs. Adams looked at this par. sonage girl in frank curiosity and some dismay. which she strongly endeavored to conceal from the bright-eyed Pru- dence. The Ladies had said it would be so nice to have grown girl in the parsonage! Prudence was nineteen from all account. but she looked like a child. and-well, it was not exactly grown-up to give thanks for barn, To say the very leastl Yet this girl had full charge of four younger chil- aren, and was further burdened with he entire care of q minister-father! Well, well Mrs. Adams sighed a little.
 You are tired" said Prudence sym- patheticaliy. "It's so hot walking, isnt it? Let's sit on the porch until you are nicely rested"
 '.This is fine chance for us to get acquainted" said the good woman with P8gerneSs.
 Now, if the truth must be told, there had been some ill-feeling in the Ladies' Aid society concerning the reception of Prudence. After the session of con-

 The minister stood back from the crowd, but when the train came pound ing in a brightness leaped into his eyes. A slender girl stood in the vesti- bule, waving wildly at him a small gloved hand. When the train stopped she leaped lightly from the steps.
 "Father!" she cried excitedly, and, small and slight as she was. she el- bowed her way swiftly through the gaping crowd. "Oh, father" And she flung her arms about him joyously, un- conscious of admiring eyes. Her father kissed her warmly. "Where is your baggage?" he asked, hand held out to relieve her.
 "Herew And with a radiant smile she thrust upon him box of candy and gaudy-covered magazine.

 T suppose you're wondering if this dress is any color! Well, I think it really is, but 1t isn't any of the regu- lar shades. It is my own invention, but I've never named it. Fairy grew up and out and around, and one day when 1 was so nearly out of clothes hardly felt I could attend church any more she suggested that l cut an old one of hers down for me Al first laughed, and then l was insulted.

She says she cannot help thanking the Lord in her prayers that all of us outwear our shoes before we can outgrow them.- Connie is only nine. Fairy is sixteen, and the twins are thirteen. They are very clever lot of girls"
 And what are you going to do?" in- 1uired Mrs. Adams, looking with real affection at the bright, sweet face. You ought to go to school. You're just girl yourself"
 .I don't want to go to school" laughed Prudence. Not any more. ike it, just taking care of father and the girls-with Fairy to keep me bal anced I read, but I do not like to study.-No, you'll have to get along with me just the way l am, Mrs. Ad- ans.

X Q. railway station Mount Mark is anything but proud of the little station. At the same time it certainly does owe the railroad and the state debt of gratitude for its pres enee there.

 So it happened that one sultry morn Ing late in the month of August, there was the usual fiutter of excitement and confusion on the platform and in the waiting room of the station. The ha- bitues were there in force. Conspicu- ous among them were four gayly dressed young men, smoking cigarettes and gazing with lack-luster eyes upon the animated scene, which evidently bored them
 The Daily News reporter, in a we'll creased. light gray suit and tan shoes and with eyeglasses scientifically bal anced on his aquiline nose, was making pointed inquiries into the private plans of the travellers. The young woman going to Burlington to spend the week end was surrounded with about fifteen other young women who had come to "see her off" Mount Mark is q very respectable town, be 1t understood, and girls do not go to the station without an excuse!
 A man in black business suit stood alone on the platform, his hands in his pockets, his eyes wandering from one to another of the strange faces about him. His plain white ready-made tie proclaimed his calling.
 Its the new Methodist minister" volunteered the baggage master, cross ing the platform. T know him. He's not bad sort.'

 So the Misses Avery concluded that Prudence was not entirely responsihlc. And they wondered, with something akin to an agony of fear. if the youDrrr girls had it, tool" and when Miss Alice cried excitedly, Quick Quick

Cony vs.. Gardiner Today

1t becomes more and more apparent
that Gardiner is not to have Trolley
League ball this season and everyone,
both young and old, should see at least
one good game of the King of Sports
before the season closes. The chance to
do this, and the last one probably, is to-
day. At SO o'clock on Quimby field
Cony and Gardiner High will play the
first game of the season. The rivalry
between these two schools is of the red
blooded kind and each team would prob
ably rather lose all the others of the
schedule than this. You will be sure to
get your moneys worth and help the ath-
letic association at the same time.
