he had ascertained that there was

of neither William nor his father was
there q shirt with an Indigenous collar.
At first he did not realize the extent
Of his misfortune. OF course William
searched his dressing table and his IA

ly over both once before that day.
Next he ven through most Of his
mothers and James accessories to the

Utterly he convinced himself that Ia

also never pick them up and put them
among their own belongings. Jane,
arriving at his locked door upon an
errand, was hidden by q thick, unnat-

suspended; then he laid the picture
upon the floor and with his handker-
chief made a curious labyrinth of ave-
les in the large oblong area Of fine
dust which this removal disclosed upon
the wall.
Pausing to wipe his hot brow with
the same implement, he remembered
that some one had made illusions to
his collar and hair, whereupon he
sprang to the stairs, mounted two at
a time, rushed into his w room and
confronted his streaked image in the
mirror.

CHAPTER Viii.
At Home to His Friends.

4 FTER additions William found
his wet hair plastic and easily
IN obtained the long, even sweep
backward from the brow, lack
ing which no male person, unless bald,
fulfilled his definition Of a man of the
world. But there ensued a period of
vehemence and activity caused by a
bent collar button. The day was warm,
and moisture believed him afresh. Be-
lated victory no sooner arrived thar he
perceived a fatal dimpling Of the new
collar and was forced to exchange it
for O successor.
Voices from below, making polite
laughter, warned him t hat already
some Of the hidden party had arrived,
and as he completed the fastening Of
his third consecutive collar IN ecstasy
of sound reached him through the open
windoW-and then, oh, then he began
to tremble. 1t was the voice Of Miss
Pratt, no less.
He stopped for one heartStruck look
from his easement. All in fluffy white
and hcliotrope she was, a blond rap
ture floating over the sidewalk toward
Williams front gate. Her little white
cottony dog, with a heliotrope ribbon
round his neck, bobbed his head over
her cuddling arm. A heliotrope par
asoI shielded her enthusiastically from
the amorous sun. Poor William!

the spell she cast.

and then she beheld ruins other than

cry. willie, did the glass cut you?"
He felt himself. Nom"
ut did your trousers. You'll have
to change them. Hurry"
Some Of Williams normal faculties
were restored to him by one hasty
glance at the back Of his left leg,
which had a dismantled appearance.
A long blue strip Of cloth hung there,
with white showing underneath.
"Hurry!.' said Mrs. Baxter. And,
hastily gathering some fragments Of
glass, she dropped them upon the en-
craving, pushed it out of the way and
went forward to greet Miss Pratt and
her attendants.
Upward William sped unseen and
came to a breathless halt at the top
Of the stairs.
AS it were in a dream he heard his
mothers h%ospitable greetings at the
door, and the little party fingered in
the hall, detained by Miss Pratt's dis
covery Of Jane.
ooh, tweetums tootums ickle drill"
he heard the ravishing voice exclaim.
"Oh, tootums ickle blue sash!'
'It cost a dollar and eighty-nine
cents" said Jane. willie sat on the
cakes"
ooh, no, he didn't" Mrs. Baxter
laughed. "He didn't quite!"
"He had to go upstairs" said Jane.
And as the stricken listener above
smote his forehead she added placidly,
He tore a hole in his clo'es."
She seemed about to furnish. details,
her mood being communicative, but
Mrs. Baxter led the way into the civ
ing ROOM" The hall was vacated, and
only the murmur of voices and laugh
ter reached William.
William leaned upon the banister
railing and thought thoughts about
Jane. For several long, seething mo-
ments he thought Of her exclusively.
Then, spurred by the loud laughter of
rivals and the agony of knowing that
ever in his own house they We're mo-
no~polizing the attention of one Of the
noblcst, he FASTENED into his own room
and took account of his rcverses.
Standing with his back to the mirror,
he obtained over his shoulder a view

Of flannel trousers which would prob

his last years summer suit of light

Feverishly he brought it forth, threw
off his coat and then, DETECTED by an
other glance at the mirror, began tt
change his collar again. To quicker
the process he decided to straighteI
the bent collar button. Using a shoe
horn as a lever, he succeeded in bring
ing the little cap or head of the button
into its proper plane, but his fna
effort dislodged the cap from the roc
between it and the base, and it flew
off into space.

of the history of Orr's Rifles from
it's organization at Sandy Springs in
August, 1851. Maj. Lee was it's
quartermaster during the entire war
and was therefore, we'll qualified to
give it's correct history. At the close

dent of the local chapter U. D. c..
and Mayor j. Milton King. Mayor

Capt. W. T. McGill, with the keys OF
of the city. A.medley of Southern
songs were then sung by a number
of the young ladies of the city. A

ia," was sung by Miss Velma Smith.
A violin solo was also rendered by
Miss Virgil Sellers, and "Father Ry-
ans Conquered Banner" wa beauti

ken, of this city.
Responses were made by Col. j. G.

lowing executive committee: Thos.

ors Of Crr's Rifle Regiment of.

manner in which it is %prosecut-
ing the war with Germany and
her allies, and further, that we
endorse specifically its action
in sending our sons and grand
sons to France to help fight for
the freedom of the world from
Prussian Autocracy. We believe
in the wisdom of making the
fight on European soil while we
have the help of other brave
and liberty-loving nations of
the world, and that we hereby
tender to our Government our
services in any capacity in
which it may wish to use us.
A copy of this resolution which
