cat this time when the conservation

The girl, whose ancestors fought in both
the Civil War and the War Of the Ameri-
can Revolution, was even more disap-
pointed than her fiance by the outcome OF
the lots drawn by the -Manford boys. She
had no brothers to give to her country, so
she had set her heart upon seeing the
man she expected to marry go over to
France ana take a mans part in the con-
f1ict
A year passed. The Americans began to
get into the thick of things abroad-and
especially the Marines, to which the three
younger Manford boys belonged. Then
came Chateau-Th ierry and the battles Of
the Argonne Wood. And in due time came
letters from Edward and Frank and John,
telling of their participation in the Great
ACCOMMODATIONS that brought a new
light to the pale, pinched face of the frail

Then, in a fash, he recalled stories OF
how wealthy men had hired substitutes to
take their places in the CONSUMPTION OF the
Civil War. And he conceived the plan OF
selling himself as a substitute for some

For enough money to assure the proper
care of his mother and sisters, young
Manford would sell himself like sack OF

to take some towards name and RESPONSE
bilities-possibly to die in another's place,
his own bravery and sacrifice forever hid
den from his own family.
Enthused over this possible avenue OF
escape, Manford-without pausing to con-
suit a lawyer or his draft board over the
feasibility of his scheme-sent special
delivery letters, containing the unique ad-
vertisement already quoted. to all the
newspapers in Denver-the nearest large

But. instead OF getting several replies,

To June Collier, sweetheart of the stay
at-home, these letters were as hot irons
applied to tender flesh. Her feeling be-
came one of unconcealed modification that
her fiance was "out of it," instead Of be-
ing with the colors over there in France.
And what anguish of heart and mind

ford. The loss Of both his sweetheart and
his martial ambitions-which to him meant
his honor-appeared almost inevitable.
But the members OF the draft board were
not the only persons in Auburn who had
learned Of Manford's desperate efforts to
join Uncle Sans fighting men. Within
few hours after the first Denver papers
containing the young mans advertisement
reached the town, every one was talking
about the matter
For two days they continued to talk,
while Fred-deeply sensitive over what he
regarded as his humiliation"-sought to
shun his friends and keep as much as
possible In the background.
Then, when he had reached the very
depths Of despair, a most unexpected thing
happened.
Shortly after the bank had closed two
young men approached Fred and requested
a few words in private. They were Rich
ard McQueary and Harry Sylvester. the
rich youths he had defeated in the strugr
gle for the heart of pretty June Collier.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1918-12-08

The visitors came came to the point at
once, They had seen Fred's advertisement
and they considered 1t one of the finest
and Eerviest things they ever had come
up against. All three Of them had been
raised together, and even If Fred had won
the girl they all loved, their staunch
friendship never had wavered. So they
were going to see him through.
Both McQueary and Sylvester were in
the draft and expected to be called soon.
They were not slackers. But out of typ
ically Western sense of fair play they
wanted any other chap as game as Fred
to have his fighting chance also. So they
were going to see that the Manford fam
lily received its 500 every month, and
were going to split the bill between them.
They didn't offer this as loan. II Fred
ever got in a position to, pay it they would
let him do so-without interest. II he
didn't-well. they we're rich enough never
to miss the money. And nobody outside
their three selves and one lawyer would
ever know Of the transaction.
Young Manford vigorously refused the
proposition at first. But his friends were
equally firm. And finally they won him
over.

left Auburn to Join his brothers in Uncle

heart. No matter what reasons kept him
at home, she said, when the war was over
and those reasons had been forgotten by
their friends, he would be regarded to
some extent as a Stacker and a coward.
And she could not retain her respect and
love for a man who was placed in such
light
June" he pleaded, don't you love me
any more?"
Il love you, yes" she said, when he
strove to take her in his arms, but can
never marry you unless you put on the
uniform Of your country and join the boys
over there"

and every one knows. how desire to go;

otherwise we could never know real hap

And her unshakable ultimatum was that
she would see her sweetheart no more I'M

For a couple of days young Manford was
in despair.
