SCHOOL CHILDREN AND
THE RED CROSS

There has been some dissatisfaction
among the children Of the city be-
cause they have SO far been offered
no opportunity to cooperate In the
Red Cross work of the local unit. So
far there has been no organization Of
Junior branch of the Red Cross
in Lakeland but an opportunity is
now offered for them to do their bit
as a, Thanksgiving celebration. AS
all know the packages Of Christmas
gifts for the soldiers in France have
been packed and shipped. There are
still certain bills outstanding due to
the necessary expense Of getting
these packages off. 1t has been sug-
gested that the school children OF
the city would be glad of the chance
to "do their bit" SO Prof. Jones is
arranging a little Thanksgiving cele.
bration at which time every child who
is willing and able may contribute five
cents to help give the boys in France
a Merry Xmas. The sacrifice of a
nickle is something we are sure no
Lakeland youngster will begrudge
when there is a chance to help the
boys. Prof Jones will make an
nouncements in chapel to further ex
plain this Thanksgiving plan.

"Thank me!' she laughed. @Thank

glance that made him vince uncom-

moment. From the moment he knew
that lie loved Elizabeth Farnum, he hated
the idea of their relationship of employer
and employee.

out, with more feeling than he meant to
show. "I don't care-until we get these

reminded him, with just tiny reproach.
Then she went to the window and looked
out. 1t was half-past eight.
"Quick!" she said, turning. "We must
get out of here! Really sometimes for
get that people talk. This will never do.
This must be the very last time we work
down here after hours"
AS they were leaving the Office, she said:

with me. And let us make an agreement
not to talk word of business after we
leave the office-ever.
He agreed.

walked along, "your parents are living,

"No; they are both dead" he replied

"There is nobody" replied Hyatt with
a lump in his throat
He left her at the corner of her street
They shook hands swiftly and parted.
For a few minutes Hyatt felt depressed.
But he tried to shed his selfshness, as he
saw it, saying: "I'll work for her as long
as she wants me. Then-I'm man enough
to walk away with my head up"

Not even Nathan Farnum had ever issued
an order to him as cuttingly as this. He
waited at the door long enough to fix an
assassinating glance on Hyatt. Then he
said weakly:

"There is nothing else," replied the
young woman.

was doing it for the company-for you.
On her side, it was the first time she had
seen Hyatt angry. 1t acted as sedative
on her own emotions. After a moment
she began to smile, and then she went on:
"We're both angry, Mr.. Hyatt. That
won't do. That doesn't make for eff
cheney, does it? Ito tell the truth,
rather like to see you that way You're
usually so good-natured, had wondered
if you could get fighting mad. You can,
all right. thought, for moment, you
were going to rush on Mr. Rouss and tear
him limb from limb
Hyatt, in spite of himself began to
laugh. Some people have a way of max
ing anger look ridiculous-and Elizabeth
Farnum was one of them. The strain of
the moment over, they both frightened.
But as Hyatt was leaving the Office she
called him back and said:
"After all, this has serious side Mr..
Rouss was either stupid or something else
If it was stupidity forgive him. l want
to know if it was something else. Partly to
find that out, but mostly because the
time is ripe for it, think, I'd like to have
you visit every one of our distributors and
meet every one of our statesmen. 1t will
be two months trip at least. Will you
do it?"
"But I'm not salesman; | don't know
that have that kind of ability gasped
Hyatt
"You will have by the time you get
back, was the confident reply. @Now,
let me tell you my plans.
TT was not as a salesman that Hyatt
went out, wonderingly, from Farnum-
vile. He was really going to press home,
by means Of his enthusiasm, the campaign
his copy had started. If he had started
out with the necessity for selling hanging
over him, probably he would have failed.
But, unhamrered by that necessity, he
found himself actually, if indirectly, SELL
ing Escutcheon. He believed in this won
derfully fine product, head and soul He
knew how it was made, from rags to sizing.
And, backed now by steady and ample
flow of supplies from the mills, he was
able to say, as he started for home seven
weeks later, al believe could sell a little,
after all!'
AS he started for home, strange
