ATTENTION.!
All Clubs, Societies, And
Organization, ETC., Of
The United States of
America.

The response to the first
call for two billions of Liber-
ty Loan Bonds has been an
emphatic and convincing de-
monstation of the unity Of
purpose among all of the peo-
pie of the United States, in
this war for the defense OF
American rights and the es-
tablisfiment of a permanent
peace.
Americans of foreign birth
or extraction, individually rs
well as through their organi-
cations, participated in a man
ner which was the source of
much gratiii ,a,;on to me.
The Govern nerr will soon
be called u"i' IT, ss'l, adlirio-
mai credit.
In this we must not fail.
Like one gigantic unit with
with an enthusiasm, a willing
ness, a determination unpre-
cedented, the American Peo-
pie must heed this call.
They must do it regardless
of creed, regardles of party,
regardless of sex, regardless
of age, and regardless of
birth or descent.
It is only through we'll or
ganized, thoroughly systema
tized, and thereby nationally
concentrated efforts, that
this can be achieved.
I therefore most earnestly
bespeak the enlistment OF
every club, society, and orga-
nization in the campaign for
the Second Liberty Loan of
1917"

! will add that every wo.
man, who believes in God
should feel that instead of try
ling to discourage the firm re.
solution Of her husband, ol
lher son or of her bethroded,
should on the contrary, be
the first to show unlimited
resignation; because if God
has endowed man with ply

submit without a murmer to
his wish.
IF it be the dictum of Pro-

families, be sure, ladies, that
wherever our Country calls
us, imbued with courage and
assured of your resignation,
we shall answer without he
sitancy to its call, and that at
all times we will endeavor to
prove ourselves worthy Of
the trust you have shown as

you have stated.

encouragement and from

shall conquer or die.

her roommate; Zone has to work to
live, and its all can get" So she
worked on turning in all the news
she could-which wasn't much-and
trying hard to earn her wages. That
she had been kept on after two
months, was a surprise to the entire
staff; for her stories were of the
"heart interest" kind, that doesn't
seem to take well with the patrons,
and were as rule, too sad for the
average newspaper reader; who gen.
orally buys his paper for the war
news, market reports and the latest,
scandals. A few read the editorials,
but very few the little intimate tales
of every day life such as Marcelle
wrote.
AS old Billy, the office veteran,
called her over to him Marcelle
quickly sensed impending trouble.
"Girlie, the old man wants to see
you," he said. The girl went pale
and her knees trembled so violently
she had to take the chair Billy Of
fered. She had been in terror of
this ever since she had been working
for the "World." Tho twice before,
when she had taken stories into the
editor, he had seemed kind and plea
SAINT. But she knew he was regu-
lar "bear" when angry.
81 know its tough, kid" Billy said
alphabetically. "But go in there
with your head up, don't be afraid,
for if he sees. he's got your goat it'll
go hard with you. Brave up, littI
one, and go to it." With these en-
couraging words he led her to the
door. Marcelle gave him a wan
smile, which faded instantly as the
door closed behind her. She had to
fight very hard to keep back the
tears, for this position meant somuch
to her.
The "old man" was sitting at his
desk, his back to her, busily writing.
He apparently hadn't heard her en-
ter. The girl walked slowly across
the room and said timidly, "Mr. Ora
ham, did you wish to see me?" The
man whirled around, startled. "Why
yes" he answered. He gazed at her
silently for a moment. His eyes
gently caressed her little dropping
form. Suddenly they hardened and
he shot out at her. "Yes, Miss
Stewart, / want to see you. You are
doubtless aware that your work is
not at all up to the standard of the
"World" and unless it improves
greatly during the next week, we
shall have to ask you to resign. Your
heart interest stories with sob in
'em, aren't what the public wants

some pep or you will have to gel

something to eat. Will you go with
lme?" The child, who was pretty
little yellow haired girl of twelve
or so, seemed to have wisdom of her
own for she searchingly scanned the
face before her. Whatever she saw
there must have satisfied her, for
with smile she gratefully complied.
After the little girl had eaten Mar
celle began to question her. She
replied readily enough but there was
a quality much like fear in her voice
when she spoke of Granny"
In reply to one of the woman's
questions 30, don't know; I've liv-
ed with her an awful long time. But
i had another home once"
"You did, with whom?" asked
Marcelle.
II can't remember" said the
child. 81 guess / was awful tiny, |
think it was my papa, tho. He was so
nice to me, and he sometimes took
me down to great big office. There
were lots of men there. They used
to give me candy and--I don't see
why pap gave me to Granny"
SIS that all you can remember,
dear? Please try hard, can't you tell
me any more about your father"
Il am so awful sorry" she replied
II wish ! could for you, but I've tried
lots of times. It's all / can remem-
Der about my papa except he used
to call me Alice. Granny calls me
Mag" she added whimsically.
Marcelle went hot and cold by
turns. A sudden thought shot thru
her mind. Alice-could it be pos
sible? The woman's voice shook
with excitement. Little one, come
here please" The child wondering
ly obeyed.
Marcelle with hands that trembled,
quickly undid the ragged little dress,
and there-she almost tainted at
sight of three little red spots on the
child's left shoulder, which looked
like bunch of cherries. Then, with
a glad cry, she gathered the child
close.
Four hours later Marcelle stood in
the inner office with the editor. He
was still badly shaken over the sud-
den finding of the little girl he had
given up as lost for nine long years
And he was, o, SO happy!
He looked at the woman tenderly
"Marcelle, do you remember what
told you this morning? that you'd
have been a damn fine reporter, il
you weren't so much of woman?'
He took her hand, his voice tremb
led Little girl, will you resign as
sob sister on my paper, and be-
come glad sister in my home? Ir
other words; will you marry the 'olC
man?' Look at me, dear"
The woman raised her face to him
her lids slowly vieled the light in hel
eyes as he met her lips.
