lady had discovered. that his name
was Stephen-Steye for short. She
boarded the car and kept her face
turned toward the window, for her
cheeks were burning with the con-
seriousness that she had no hat on her
tousled curly hair. Her mother was
awake when she reached home, and
Betty sat by her side and told her of
the evenings adventure, and the little
mother shook her head over her daugh-
ter's escapade. "My dear, you had bet
/ ter run along to bed now" she said,
when Betty's narrative had ended.
"Oh. ] forgot to tell you, DEAR" she
added, "that Emma called up and
! wants you to go down to her camp by
/ the seashpre tomorrow afternoon and
| stay Sunday. You may go If you want
to. dearie, for the change will do you
good"
"0h, mumsie." cried the delighted
Betty, you are the, dearest little
neither in the world" Then, with a
fond goodnight kiss, she went to bed.
The next morning she rose early and
packed her grip. AS she carefully laid
her pretty bathing suit in, her cheeks
glowed with pleasant anticipation Of
the fun In the water. When she
reached the camp she found her dear
friend, Emma Worthington, waiting
for her. In the coy dining room over
looking the sea table was set for
four. why, Emma" asked Betty, who
else is to be here?"
"Well," replied Emma, my old
friends, the Burtons, are home on a
furlough and invited them over"
"Who are the Burtons:" asked Bet
ty, interestedly.
Two delightful young men that
have had summer camp here for four
years One is sailor and the other is
soldier in the training school. They
are very nice chaps and / know you
viii like them"
AT this news Betty fastened to her
room to change her dress and to
smooth her hair. When she again en-
tered the dining room the young men
had arrived She gave little cry of
surprise, for the soldier boy was her
knight of the evening before. ooh, I
am glad to see you again. she cried,
aud told her friend about the mlschiev-
Gus monkey That was the beginning
of a short but very pleasant holiday,
and when Steve and Betty parted
again he had her promise to write to
him. She kept that promise and when
he again came home for a short visit
before leaving for France he asked her
to go to the park for walk. Betty
knew by the twinkle in his nice blue
eyes that he had something up his
sleeve and so she consented to 90.
They reached the zoo and paused by
the monkeys cage. Steve glanced
around to see If they were alone and
then took Betty's hand in his. "Girlie,
l don't just know how to say it, but
you know what I'm driving at. win
your" And there, with the match-mak-
ing monkeys for witnesses, Betty
that she would be waiting
for him when her soldier boy came
home again.

PLACING OUR SERVICE BOYS.
U. S. Employment Service Has Very
Important Work.

The United States employment serv.
ice has established this year thirteen
community labor boards in Vermont
These boards have been engaged in rat.
ing essential, and non-essential indus
tries and in making industrial surveys in
their respective localities.
Cessation of hostilities, instead Of les
SEEMING the duties of these boards, has
brought them new opportunities for
service and imposed new duties. The
United States faces the obligation of re.
turning to suitable employment those
| whom it induced to enter service in field
and factory, and the well-being of the
people for many years to come depends
upon the manner in which such obliga
tons are fulfilled, and upon the yindica-
tion of those principles Of Justice which
animated us in pursuits OF war.
Every discharged soldier or sailor
must be made to feel that the United
States is still backing him up, and that
he has only to appeal to the employment
service; the community labor boards are
now working out a plan to take care of
these men, as well az those who find
themselves out Of work because Of the
cancelling or completion Of war con
tracts. The stapendous task of finding
employment for all these is one which il
engaging the consideration of all y. s.
employment service officials and employ
es throughout the country Many men
win find their jobs waiting when they re-
turn, but for those who will be without
employment the employment service in
tends to devote its energies Every one
of these men should get in touch with
the service, through local representa-
tives, as soon as he returns home so
that no time may be left in aimless seek
ing of employment.
Some industries rated as non.essen-
tials, will now be in a position TO take
on larger forces of laborers, and the
service seeks the cooperation of such
industries; they should appeal at once to
the nearest employment service office
what better plan than to appeal to a
country employment agency, gov
ernmental department the q. s. en-
ployment service, department of labor

Whitley New Senator.

Judge Graves decided on Monday
not to accept the appointment
rendered him by Governor Gardner,
to fill the Stone vacancy until the
November elections.
Governor Gardner thereupon
rendered the Office to Xenophon P
Whitley, a St. Louis attorney of
some prominence, who promptly
accepted it. Mr.. Whitley has little
acquaintance over the state, but the
family name is known. his elder
brother, Judge L. R. Whitley, having
been judge advocate of the Philippe
mes and also having held appoint
ments in Mexico and China
He is an orator and splendidly
educated, alert, resourcefuI and
magnetic He is small OF stature
and lame but accredited with an
abundance of courage and intellectu
al independence. He believes in
the righteousness of the war and is
intensely patriotic.
So Missouri will have one senator,
at least. who will represent her
people in their desire to prosecute
the war vigorously.
