Butler was lodged. He had probably
thrown open the blind of his room
to get more light, and must have
seen her.
Was he watching her? She pre-
tended to be busy with the flowers
but she felt waves of hot color flood
ing her neck and face. What fool
she was!
with an impatient movement she
sprang down from the chair and hur-
ried into the house.
Laying her flowers in the dining
room. she went back to the yard for

herself to glance up furtively at the
window above her.

she saw that now he was not look
fixed dreamily on the hills in the
distance. But as she started to go
back to the house he moved quickly
and looked down. then leaned for

Her eyes did not meet his for she
bent over the chair as if finding il
heavy. Had she detected an express
sion of disapproval on the face of

girl to whom he would have to be
agreeable. Well, she would set his

She went into the kitchen when
supper was ready and fingered there
until she heard the guest enter the
dining room and take the seat as
signed to him by his host. There
was the sound of chairs being pulled
back from the table, then a silence
while the trio waited for her.
After a minute Mrs. Chaplin called:
Lizzie" with a tremulous note al
she spoke the unaccustomed name
Come, my dear"
"All right, Cousin Martha" the
girl called back.
She glanced again in the mirror
over the kitchen sink and smoothed
her hair hastily, then went on into
the dining room hurriedly, as if she
had been busy to the last moment
with some necessary household task.
Amos Chaplin did not rise as the
girl entered. John Butler true to
the instinct of his class, arose inn
mediately.
MIR. Butler, let me make you ac-
quainted with-with my young
cousin-Miss'-

Advice to the Lo1elorn

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Through misfortune my husband
has lost considerable money which he
inherited from his father. For the
last five years he has had position
with firm in Wall Street. He started
in with $40 a week. and for the past
two years has been earning $25 a
week. My little family consists of
four-husband and self and two chill

So John Butler was glad to get
away from women and doctors, Eliz-
abeth Wade unused. Well, she and her
beloved brother were in that class.
AS she was a girl. and a young one
at that, she had a momentary sensa-
tion of pique. Then she smiled as
she appreciated hew ridiculous she
was.
Surely, John Butler had cause to
feel that a fussy woman even a de-
voted mother-and the many physi-
clans consulted with regard to him
had increased the nervousness from
which he suffered. That this was
true was proved by the fact that
Douglas had ordered the patient on
here, where there was not physl-
clan within seven miles, and where
his parent could only communicate
with him by mail.
As the farmers wife began prepar-
ing supper, Elizabeth helped her in
spite of the older woman's protests.
"Dearie." Mrs. Chaplin pleaded.

stove. Run away and sit out on the

But Elizabeth shook her head. IF

THANK you" the matron said,
gratefully.
Elizabeth suspected that it was an
actual relief to the good woman to
have her out of the way. Mrs. Chaplin
had done her own work for so long
that she was embarrassed by the
presence of one accustomed to what
the country dweller termed city
ways
Elizabeth was somewhat at a loss
as to just how the table should be
set. She tried to recall Mrs. Chap
ins methods, but was obliged to re-
pair to the kitchen for instructions.
When at last the cloth was laid and
the glass, china and silver arranged
upon il according to Mrs. Chaplin s
directionsfi the girl made request
Couldn't l go out and get some
of those lovely lilacs and put them
in the middle of the table? There
are some sprays that are almost out
and they are so pretty

Amos and me do live here and work

This kind creature was not party to
her husbands scheme, the girl de-
Cided, as she went out into the yard
to gather the lilacs.
The blossoms she sought were at
the top of the bush. where the sun
fell on them more directly than on
t;&le farther down. She. had to
stahd on tiptoe to touch them, and
even then she could not grasp the
stems.
Returning to the kitchen, she car
ried from there a wooden ottomed
chair. Mounting this, she broke off
the sprays she wished. humming to
herself as she did so.
She heard a window blind on the
second floor of the house open, and
for an instant she stood motionless.
She remembered that this was the
c0yner of the house in which John

Invest Your Money of Sacrifice
Your Country
(By J. N. Powers, Chancellor,
University of Mississippi

University OF MlSSlSSlppl.)
The name Liberty Loan carries
the significance of why every
one should invest, and invest
literally, in Liberty Loan Bonds.
Not only is the liberty of our
country threatened but the ideals
of Christianity are at stake.
Those who believe that our
Country's freedom is founded
upon the ideals of the Christian
religion are obligated through
service to God and Country to
invest in bonds of money that
we may not find ourselves in
bondage to a ruthless. system Of
autocracy that is opposed to
every principle of liberty, justice
and freedom of conscience hand
ed down TO US by the sacrifice
and blood-shed of our fathers.
Hearken back to the causes of
other wars in which this nation
has been involved and do you
not find that these causes were
not so righteous as those which
call us to battle at this time?
To win this war, to continue
to enjoy the blessings of liberty.
to save our women and children
from the most unhappy fate, we
must have moneyfto provide the
machinery Of war. and to clothe
and feed the flower of our
Country who are now in the
trenches ready and willing to
make the supreme sacrifice that
our Country may live and not
die.
