"And mighty good paymaster," in

And so letter was duly forwarded
to General Pershing by the paymaster

France. Two days later telegram
arrived at the post for the paymaster.
It read:
"You're it.-Pershlng."

CHAPTER ".

Lydia stepped over the high sill of
q doorway to open air upon the main
deck abaft the superstructure and
gained the shadow of the deckhouse
wherein the rudder engine clanked and
groaned. When she came to the open
space between the deckhouse and the
taffrail the moon slipped from behind
q cloud, drenching the ship with ghost
ly radiance, and she stopped short. In
no other public part of the vessel could
one-or two-have found greater
privacy.
Two, at least, seemed to have
thought of that In that fan-shaped
space behind the deckhouse, close by
the singing meter of the log, Craven
stood with Mrs. Merrilees In his arms.
Wholly unaware that they were not
alone, these two clung to each other,
lips senliug lips in the ecstasy of long
and passionate embrace, moveless save
as they yielded to the motion Of the
ship.
Lydia stood rooted In incredulous
embarrassment. In that pitiless wash
of naked moonlight she could not fail
to recognize the woman. She was Mrs.
Merrlees beyond question, gowned pre-
cisely as she had been that first night
out, forever to be a figure of radiant
loveliness in the galleries of Lydla's
memory.
But that the other, her lover, could
be Thaddeus Craven--impossible! A
passing likeness to his sturdy but
graceful figure-deceiving eyes too
eager to recognize beloved parent: II
could be nothing more than that. I'm
possible that he, her father, could be
the lover Of woman but little older
than herself!

Most -sought-After Thing.


In the American Magazine q writer
says:
Men have been living in this world
for many centuries. They have traded
In their lives for many different things
fame, money. power. But the con-
sensus of opinion through the ages Is
that the thing most to be desired Is
happiness. No man can be really
happy unless his conscience Is clear !;
therefore 1t pays to be honest and to
treat the other fellow as one would like
to be treated. No one can be happy
who sacrifices his health; therefore
fame and too much money-either Of
which usually demand health In ex-
change-are not to be desired. No man
can have the highest happiness unless
he can feel that he is doing a little
good by living that he is going to leave
the world bit better after he has gone.
Therefore 1t pays to bring children
into the world and care for them; 1t
pays to be good neighbor and good
employer and good friend"

the ship is steaming at its usual rate

The system provides for ques-

will be allowed for him to return IT
to the local boards, who will then
ssign each to one of the five classes

will be called first, in class two, sec
