 And having, as it were, justified his position and interest, he looked across at the unconscious subject of their re- marks. Truly she was good to look at, though at present all he could see was the well-cut profile and the glorious copperish-brown hair turning to dull gold where the western sun struck it, and eyes, that with her mood, he knew, varied from hazel to brown. A verit- able gem of a girl he thought, as she began adjusting her furs. With an intuitive feeling of understanding her, he turned to Tom.
 Don't mention the affair to anyone, not even Mary, for it would not please her, am sure" he added, as the train pulled up at D..
 The station was small and John had just finished greeting Mrs. Danvers. when Billy Grants deep voice broke in: Hello, Harding; glad to see you" as they shook hands.
 Grant, an old friend of both Harding and Danvers, also lived in D..
 Now, I want you to meet our friends. for its cold and want to get home"
 While Tom and John were lowing and Miss North" their host chatted on about it's being ''too bad they couldn't have met at the other end of the line, as long as they happened to be on the same train."
 Nancy North threw a quick glance at Harding, but otherwise no outward sign was given, as he walked with her to the car, that they had ever seen one another before or that the same thought was in the minds of both. but John was so strangely elated that Miss North's color deepened each time she looked up and met his smiling eyes.
 ''Now, don't you fellows keep our bridge waiting tonight" called Grant. as he gave the signal to start
 'Tll guarantee our arrival on time. Grant" answered John, well satisfied with the arrangement, whether ii was chance or fate, for somewhere within him something was thrillingly alert, tantalizingly expeetant, confidently hopeful. and the feeling of the after noon that had expressed itself in cynfcism and manifested itself in lone Illness was gone.
 At the wedding reception of John Harding and Nancy North, six months later, many of the guests were curious as to the presence in the gay assem- blaze of guests of a sweet-faced little woman in the dress of the Salvation Army. who was the recipient of much attention from the bride and groom, and was quite center of attraction

window as they smoked and talked, and Tom, while he had been much amused at Johns cynical comment, had taken it all as joke, for John was never pessimistic. Now, as they walked down the crowded thorough fare conversation was difficult, and John was unusually silent. Recalling bits of phrases in their recent con- versation. it suddenly occurred to Tom that there had been an unac- customed tone, even a note of bitter ness underlying the smile and lightly spoken words of his oldest and best friend. whom he felt he knew as he did himself. At the thought he looked sharply and piercingly at him, but the strong, reselute profile bore no trace of the cynicism of the last hour, much less evidence of it's cause. It was just imagination, Tom con ciuded.
 As they stood waiting for a cross town car an observant and clever beg gar approached. Tom answered the appeal with a coin.
 ssNot from me-" said John, in a dis approving tone.
 .sOh, we'll, it's Christmas time" said Tom
 .'Yes, that's just it, and he knows it and makes capital of it. It is sym pathetic or sentimental charity, and I don't approve of it.''
 Upon my word, Tom, you are fun ny this afternoon. What is the mat ter with you? First you condemn women, then you denounce this happy holiday crowd as a passing show. and now this poor began. It's well you are going to be with me for while: you need the home influence, and-by love- you need wife! That is the antidote for you, old fellow" he concluded, emphasizing his convic- ton with slap on the back.
 "No, thank you," was the laughing reply ss they stepped aboard the car

PHOTOS OF MEN LOST IN SERVICE

Through the bureau of navigation
the navy department is now collect
ing photographs of all men of the
service who have lost their lives in
service against the enemy. To per-
petuate the memory of these men who
have made the sacrifice, their pictures
are to be preserved in the various
training stations of the country.
Secretary Daniels has requested that
these photographs be sent to the de-
partment by the next of kin.
AS rapidly as these pictures are re-
ceived copies are made and the origi-
nails returned to the owners A pho
tOgraph of each man is then forward
ed to the training station where he
began his career in the service.
There, a memorial gallery of honor
or hero's corner is formed so that
for all time the faces of the men of
the navy who have made the supreme
sacrifice may be honored by the
youths Of the future sent to the sta
tiOn for training.
Relatives of men who have been
lost in the present war who have not
received requests for pictures are ask
ed to mail them to the department
for this memorial. All pictures
should be securely wrapped after
they have been marked with the
name, branch of service and training
station the young man entered after
enlistment. These should be address
ed to the Recruiting Division, Bureau
Of Navigation, Navy Department,
Washington, D. G. When copied, the
photograph will be returned to the
