hers.

"No need to spoil my job" shrugged
Gentian, her color fuctuating as she
looked at the tOngs on the floor.
Cyrus Goth dropped her hands.

Little | care!' she agreed. She picked
up the tongs and pnched the piece of steel
between them. "llow big is the rase?'
she asked, thrustng the steel into the
forge.
"Five dollars" he answered shortly.
"Tm making twenty week now. And
I've got my eye on the job of foreman in

His face became anxious. He looked
at Abigail Felt.
"Gennie's fooling about this going

asked
"No; I'm not fooling,7 said Gentian.
"1 mean it," She laid her hand on her
heart. "How the males will blubber when

"Oh, chuck your nonsense, Gennie!"
Cyrus Goth was tolerant again. Then
his handsome face became serious
"Gennie," he added, catching her slim,
strong arm, "now that I'm making
twenty week, what do you say to get

She drew out the red-hot steel, so that
it shone between them.

OUT on the main street, at the point
where the blacksmith shop juttcd to
face the Office of the notary, an automobile
horn sounded.
Gentian Belaire's momentary gravity
evaporated. A look of vanity sparkled
over her features. She gave Slight laugh,
Strengthened her leather apron. and went
to the broad doors of the smithy.
In the honking automobile before the
shop sat Ambrose Luxe. nephew of old
Prime Luxe, who owned the ammunition
works in Coventry. Ambrose spent most
of his time in New York running up
to Coventry in the hunting and fishing
seasons.
He took his hand from the automobile
horn as Gentian appeared.
I'm stalled, friend. he said. with an
infectious laugh. "rhcrc's Il cog loose
somewhere. Can you DX me up?"
Gentian nodded. and ran back into the
shop. Without noticing Cyrus Goth, who
was keenly watching her. she caught up
the automobile. She deposited the box
on the ground, selected monkcy-wrench
and crawled under the car. Flat on her
back, with her black head on he road and
her hands busy with the wrench, She said :
"Some day you'll run over me. when

Gentian, with fling at sophistry.

Gentan turned on her side under the
car to investigate the bolts.
"Cyrus Goth has been promoted again, ."
she said.
HAS he?" The lazy tone betrayed
scant interest.
Hes going to be "A big gun in your
uncle's works" she boastcd
"Everybody's cunning these days"

But in her upward look there was a hint

Cyrus Goth, with grim iinalty. "If you

at the station to wish Gentian God-speed.
Lucrctia Goth hands folded on her
stomach, made IA biblical commentary on
the departure of Gentian: "'Can one go

Gentian herself was in high spirits. The

New York, kept by Miss Tabitha Rath-

AN INCREASE OF PENSIONS.

Congressman Harvey Helm hands
US the following which will be good
news to those who are in line for an
increase of pensions under the act
mentioned: Congress on October 6,
1917, adopted an amendment to the
pension law increasing the rate of
pension for widow of an officer or
enlisted man of the army, navy, or
marine corps of the United States
who served in the Civil War, the war
with Spain, or the Philippine Insur-
rection, at S25 per month. This does
not include widows of men in the
regular army, navy, or marine corps
who did not serve in said wars; it
does not include the widows of the
war of 1912, the war with Mexico,
the Indian wars, or army nurses, be-
cause they are not named in the
Applications are not
required from those entitled. Prompt
action will be taken in the Pension
office to make payment of the IN
amount.-Stanford Journal.
