went on.
Janet had hurried on, leaving Elva
to her fate, but the girl overlook her
the next minute.
THERE said Janet. Il hope you
have had enough"
mo" she answered. 81 am rather
sorry I had to send him of. like
him. I want to see hint again."
'He looked as though he were
somebody" observed Janet.
Yes, didn't he?"
One day Mrs. Bentley, who gave
pleasant little teas and dinners, and
was very fond of having the two at
tTactive young girls among her
guests, said quite cOnfdentially to
them: 81 hope to have the son of an
old friend here today. He's a splendid
fellow, one of the most successful
lawyers down town, rich, and a great
catch. Now, girls, I've given you the
tip, let us see which one wins"
Later on she whispered to them
that he had arrived, and soon after
presented Mp. Stuart Cass. He was
Elva's crush" of the subway. AS
Mrs. Bentley turned away, he smiled
and said: Are you going to let me
speak to you now that we are prop
eTly introduCed?"
ElVa stammeTed out a laughing &C
quiescence and the two were soon on
the best of terms: So engrossed was
Cass with the girl that Janet, feel
ing very much out of it, excused her
self and left them together.
Mrs. Bentley laughingly drew
Janet's attention to the rapid pro-
gFess her friend was making in the
conquest Of young Mr.. Cass. Later
in the evening Janet had a short con-
versatiOn with him. She found the
stranger bright, thoughtful and orig
inal. She was bound to admit he had

after all the miscellaneous Irritation
was no obstacle to the regard Of a
real gentleman. Her mothers teach
ings and her own delicate sense of
wOmanliness had always kept her
from this. She believed that a girl
of good breeding shrank from max
ing herself conspicuous in any way
among strangers. But perhaps she
was very much behind the times.
Elva after this frequently told ia
net Of the car rides, suppeTs and va
TiOUs attentions of Stuart Cass.
Are you engaged?" she asked.
Not yet" answered Elva in a tone
that meant it was a foTegone con-
clusiOn.
One day she laughingly said: STU
art has been asking me questions
about the 'mid-VictoTian lady,
meaning you"
"Oh!" said Janet emphatically, but
with an inward pang the other en-
tirely failed to sense.
Eyes, and he asked me to bring
him to call on you. I'd be horribly
jealous, if well, wasn't pretty sure
of him"
After Stuart Cass was brought by
Elva to call he continued to come
without his companion. He began to
send Janet flowers and to ask her
with her aunt to the theater and OPP
era. She knew she had given this
man her heart and she wondered
how it would end She felt she must
know if he cared for her friend.

Insurance OF Soldiers And
Sailors.

Washington, D. c., 1917.-The act
which provides for Government life in
surance for soldiers has now been in op-
Grafton a little more than a month The
Secretary OF the Treasury announced on
November 18th that up to date "a, 1853
applications under the new law had been
received, representing insurance in the
sum Of $552, ,093,000. From four to six
thousand applications are received each
day at the Treasury Department, the
amout Of insurance applied for sometimes
reaching a total OF fifty million dollars in
single day,
The law provides that soldiers, sailors,
marines and nurses in active service may
obtain from the Government life in
surance in amounts noteXceeding $40, ,0CO
at premium rates ranging from 65 cents
a month at the age of 81 years to $1.20
month at the age of 81 years, for each
$1,000 Of insurance.
One of the primary objects of this
law is to lesson the tremendous burden
o. pensions which has followed as conse-
quence Of all American wars.
1t is evident that the administration
OF this now branch OF Government work
is big business in itself. But this is
only one Of many governmental activities
incident to the war which are adding
great numbers Of clerks, stenogrsphers,
and other servants to Uncle Sans payroll.
Literally thousands Of stenographers and
typewriters have been appointed in
Washington during the past few months
and thousands more are to be appointed
as soon as they are available. The
United States Civil Service Commits
sion is holding examinations for these po-
sitions weekly throughout the country.
Secretaries of local boards of civil service
examiners at the post offices are furnish
ing detailed information.
