"Anybody Can Do 1t"
Va shin ofo7, Tirpoc


Any man with a back yard lot
twenty by forty or fifty feet can raise
enough vegetables this summer to
supply a family of six, by putting
in not more than an hour and a half
day.
Thus speaks the voice of experience
in the person Of G.. O. Tavenor, 1923
P street northwest. For the last sew
eral summers Mr.. Tavenor, a former
employee Of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company, has raised
enough vegetables on small back
ward lot to feed his family and have
$3.50 in the bank at the end of the
gardening season. He did this in
addition to puttino in twelve hours
q day at his position with the street
railway company. "Anybody can dc
IT, said Mr.. Tavenor. II love to see
thing crow, and I certainly like the
work"

Confer With Congressman
To the Editor Of Inc Robesonian:
A bill for universal military train
ing will be presented before the ses-
sion of Congress that meets April
End, 1917.
The bill provides for the establish
r1ent of training areas and training
units, approximately one in each con-
gressional district. These units will
organize and train men in the sever
al areas, and naturally the presence
Of such a large body of men in a
community will benefit said commun-
ity very much indeed, on account of
the large sums of money that will be
extended for its upkeep.
If sufficient votes are cast for
this bill at this special session of Con-
gress, these units will be established
as soon as practicable.
The Establishment Of these train
ing centers will, undoubtedly, be done
on the recommendation of Congress-
men. If your community is inter-
ested, please confer with as many
Congressman as possible before April
End and secure the passage Of the
bill at the special session. Wars
and rumors of wars are getting close
to US now and we should not delay
longer in getting ready to repel an
enemy.

 The drinks were cold, and the house cool. The prospect of starting out in the heat and dust did not allure the two men. Sitting there at his ease, the chief ran over the points of the out rage
 Tn several ways" he observed com. fortably, the affair resembles one that happened in St. Louis several years ago. There's the same quality of au- dacity-and there are other things"
 Quite suddenly light came into his eyes.
 "Ah!" he said, bending forward to- ward Boroday. q told you I'd get 1t. It was in St. Louis I saw you!"
 Their glances clashed, the chiefs in- tent, the Russians cool, amused.

 There was no doubt of the boys sin. cerity. If rang true. He stood with his arms out, and after a moment she went into them. Except for the father who was gone, this was the first love that had come into her life. She took 1t hungrily. In the starlight she held up her lips like child for his kiss |. i.
 The police were still active. So in- sistent was Boroday on caution that all of September went by without so much as plan of campaign. Talbot played golf and established friendly relations that might be invaluable later. Huff, under protest, retained the taxicab work.
 Its a dogs life," he said. "They're not after me now. Give me something else to do, or else let me take & vaca- tion."
 But they kept him at work.
 Huff fell into the way of seeing Eli nor once or twice week. Talbot took him out, picking him up on the edge of town after dusk, on his way in his car to a dance or dinner at the country club, and taking him back the same way.
 And the boys infatuation for Elinor grew and thrived on those late summer meetings. Her sweetness and elusive ness maddened him. Sometimes he thought her never so far from him as when she was in his arms.
 Do you love mel" he would demand hoarsely.
 'I think so. I know I want you to love me-"
 And he had to be content with this.
 On the evenings when she was alone Elinor sat in her arbor and watched the road up the hill. Ward had called twice, and each time she had been out on the long rambles she took almost daily. After his second visit, she stayed in the house for days. expecting him. But he did not come again.
 She was not in love with Ward, just as she was not in love with Walter Huff. But the clergyman represented, in her strange and lonely life, some thing new and different. He typifled all that she had never known. He was the priest. rather than the man to her at first. The time was coming when he would be man only, and after that
 Late in September Boroday was ar rested. The. arrest came as shock to the band. As matter of fact the DO lice couldiprove nothing, but the chief had a long talk with the Russian. It was the. Agrarian affair, of course. The chief had recognized him. But so firm ly had old Hilary's responsibility been rootediin the public mind that the chief connected Boroday only casually with him.
 "You know that I cannot prove this thing on you," he said, but you know also perfectly well that can fix you t6 the tune of about ten years"
 Perfectly correct in both instances, 1"

said Boroday. You cannot prove any. thing and you can send me up. What Is 1t you want?
 T want the members of that band of yours," said the chief. And I want your headquarters. You people have been playing hell in this county long enough; the newspapers are laughing at us. Sooner or later, we'll get you and get you all. Make 1t sooner and we'n let you of easy"
 "How much time will you give me?"
 The chief offered twenty-four hours and Boroday took 1t. At the end of that time he reported.
 "I guess I'll take what's coming to me-" he said. "You can fix 1t any way you like"
 It was bitter disappointment to the police.

 Boroday was on his feet in a mo- rnent, protesting. He would take the jewels and send them abroad. It was risky, but 1t could be done. But this outrageous arrangement that had been suggested
 What we are, we are by choice" he finished. You have never had a choice. and now it Is given to you. For God s sake, child, go away now, while you may"
 Elinor's reply, when 1t came, was unanswerable.
 "Where could I go? I know in all the world only you four, and old Hen riette, and a governess of mine who has gone into a convent in France. I shall stay here with you all'
 So 1t was settled.
 That was an eventful evening, with Elinor, misty-eyed, moving into her fa- ther's chair at the table, and the band swearing the simple oath of allegiance which held them together. And when they had moved from the dining room, Walter Huff, following Elinor out onto the terrace, told her he loved her.
 The starlight above, and those near CT stars that outlined the streets be- low, threw a soft radiance over her. She was dressed in white; old Hilary had disliked mourning garments. Eli nor was looking down into the village. The great spire of Saint Jude's tow cred above the town. Huff, young and ardent, thrilled to the girls presence close beside him.
 "You are very aloof tonight" he said. She smiled up at him.
 Not that surely. was only think ing"
 Of what?"
 "Oh, of different things-of the peo- ple down there in their houses-their lives, the things they believe; we think they are narrow, but I wonder, after all, If you and I, who believe none of those things, are not the narrow ones."
 Huff was not subtle. Possibly he would not have understood, had not the Saint Jude's chimes rung just then.
 Symbols like that seem to mean so much to them," said Elinor, and fell silent.
 In the warm silence, Huff felt for and found her hand.
 All this time, when I couldn't see you.' he said sunsteadily, i've been thinking of you here alone, and in trouble. Sometimes thought couldn't stand it, that I'd have to come out and see you, if only for five minutes"
 T have always been more or less lonely. Sometimes think if had been sent away to school, had known other girls, 1t would have been better. I have never had any friends-except you, and the others"
 Huff released her hand and faced her.

 She was rather shocked at first. She

Elinor lived alone after the funeral Henriette, who had now chance to practice her favorite vice of thrift, was for sending away the other servants.
 Il can manage" she said. For all you eat"
 But Elinor protested.
 Il shall want to keep up the Satur- day dinners. Let things stay as they are for a time."
 It had been old Hilary's custom to have such members of the. band as were available dine with him of a Sat- urday.
 Henriette raised her hands.
 Things are changed" she cried. You are alone here now. To have those four men"
 "fhat is better than having one man, Henriette.'
 So Elinor had her way. The Satur. day dinners were resumed early in September, Boroday coming with n- finite caution from his cheap boarding house In the South side, Talbot and Lethbridge from the bachelor apart ment they rented together. Walter Huff was late.
 II had to be careful" he told BOro- day, aside. They've got wind of some thing, don't know what. My room was searched today"
 Boroday swore through his beard.
 linen why did you come here?" he demanded. Young Huff laughed, glanced at Elinor, and back impudent- ly at the Russian.
 You know why I came," he said, in high good humor. But I was careful. It's all right
 Old Hilary's chair had been placed by Elinor's order. She had borne up we'll the last month. was rather more slender, certainly more appealing The quality of wistfulness was more appar- ent than ever around her mouth. Huff, sitting across, hardly took his eyes from her. He was young and women had had no place until now in his ac- tive, interruptions life. But Elinor held him in the palm of her small hand.
 They missed old Hilary, his saturnine humor. his beetling gray brows. And inaction was telling on them. They were growing restive. BOroday, advis- ing caution in view of what he knew, felt the disaffection among the younger men.
 It was Lethbridge. who, waiting un- til the servants had withdrawn, rose and glanced around the table.
 s'It seems to me" he began, "that we have lot to decide tonight. I've been thinking about it ever since-for some time. The first thing, of course, is whether we are going to hang together or not"
 Talbot had rather a weird sense of humor. He suggested that the word ''hang" be changed to remain
 We've been doing well. We'll do all right again, too, as soon as this thing blows over. It was unlucky, but we've been pretty fortunate. Now we can do one of two things. For Elinor's sake. I suggest the first"
 And that is" Elinor's voice was unsteady.
 "Send Boroday to Paris to dispose of your jewels. Then get conservative lawyer to invest the money"
 And after that?"
 Forget you ever knew any of us."
 Huff, across the table from her, went white, but said nothing.
 You said there was an alternative? ?"
 Elnor was white, too. The room was profoundly still.
