Good Samaritan for their use and
then some to spare for our destitute
friends. So far four foreign commits
sions have been sent out by our Red
ross Society. We have one to help
our young friend. the Russian Re-
public; one to help our lifelong
friend, the French Republic, and that
little hero of all nations, Belgium;
one to help our betrayed friend, Ru
mania, and one to aid our ally, Italy.
Servia, Montenegro, Armenia and
others are also waiting on help our

their broken and disconsolate lives.
1t is tremendous task that con-

and supplying what the needs of the
hour require and the Good Samari-

nobly. One hundred million dollars

During the hot weather of the
summer months some member of al

Mildred looked up at him with "a
Their wlstful eyes. They we're rather
pretty eyes, too, as Jimmy had more
than ance noticed; and hidden in their
depths was light which, II Jimmy had
been little wiser, would have told
him somethin whtchg would have
made his heart miss a beat or two.
But Jimmy was ignorant in the ways
of woman. Mildred was the only
girl he had ever really known, and he
knew her so we'll that he'd begun to
look upon her as he would sister.
They played tennis together, motored

had felt a rather proprietary interest
in Mildred. Perhaps as the years wore
on Mildred grew into the promise
Of womanhood she wondered If jim
my's interest would ever be other
than neighborly. But, whatever her
thoughts, she kept them strictly to her
self. And Jimmy, satisfied to let
things run their course, took Mildred
to dances and card parties and forgot
that perhaps other men would see
in his companion charms to which he
himself was oblivious. Mildred had
never cared much for other men; she
smiled at them and danced with them,
but in her attitude was an impersonal
not which rather discouraged further
advances. And So until the Assem-:
bly, ball at tho Country club, Mildred
and Jimmy pursued the even tenor
Of their ways.
And then John Hastings appeared.
He was sitting on the porch Of the club
when Jimmy's car drew up, and as
soon as his eyes dwelt upon Mildred
smile of joyful recognition over
spread his features. When Jimmy
returned from parking the car he
found Mildred in animated conyersa-
ton with a good-looking young man
who was evidently stranger in
BTidgetown,
ooh, Jimmy!" she exclaimed happi-
ly. "This is John Hastings, whom
met last summer at the shore. You've
heard me speak Of him, I'm sure"
Jimmy had heard her speak of him
a good deal, and he regarded the new
comer with interest. He saw black
haired, blaok,eyed man of about thirty,
with well.formed nose and rather
aggressive chin. A sudden dislike for
the stranger came over him. But
Jimmy was nothing If not polite, so
he extended his hand pleasantly,
I'm mighty pleased to meet you"
he announced in voice which SEEM
ed perfectly sincere. Mildred has
told me about your good times last
summer"
"oh, yes" the man answered. "Mil.

much

ousy smote the heart of Jimmy Bar
rett. What right had that fellow to
call her Mile? aguely Jimmy recall
ed incidents Mildred had told him
about in which undoubtedly Hastings
must have had q part. At that time

he had listened patiently and had
dismissed them as trivial; now they
assumed monstrous proportions.
From within the club the orchestra
struck up a one-step and Hastings
turned to Mildred.
MAY l have the pleasure?" he ask
Mildred, with a glance at Jimmy's
Unexpectedly frowning face, dimpled
mischievously.
"Id be delighted" she answered,
When they returned from the dance,
they found Jimmy standing where
they had left him. During the five
minutes in which Mildred had danced
with Hastings, Jimmy's heart had re-
vealed itself. Waiting in the shad-
ows Of the porch, under the lure of
soft, music, Jimmy suddenly discoV'
cred that Mildred McAdams meant
more to him than any one else in
