but one OF the better class. It had
been very popular when it had first
come out for a rather unusual quality
that It possessed. and Helen, who had
always been fond of it. had somehow
managed to keep Il. That afternoon

throw some light on the disappear

that Warren had read il with great
interest some time ago. Perhaps he
had let someone borrow It.
Dear do you know where that
book. Sacred Precincts is?" Helen
asked him the moment he came into
the house.
Warren shook his head. Haven't
seen 1t for ever so long" he began.

take that book with us when we

SHIRKING ONES DUTY.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
I thought it a mean thing when l
read in The FL Paso Herald that
young men in the east were getting
married to keep out of the war, and
then heard young married people
were adopting children around Kansas
City and St Louis that they might
be able to shirk the duty that they
owe to their country, but about the
meanest and sorriest human being on
earth is the young man who would go
to Juarez and get a Job to shirk the
duty he owes to his country.
such young man has not got the
blood OF a young American in his
veins; shame to him.
