CHAPTER VIII

CHAPTER VIII
"Who is Harold Hilton?" Mrs.
Higgins inquired. 1 never heard of
him."
He's a nephew of Mr.. John Hill
ton" Mildred explained. Il never
met him myself until yesterday. But
as his uncle spoke of him as .Har-
DID, l did, too"
"Oh, l thought it must be some-
body you knew WELL" Mrs. Higgins
remarked.
Her speech was not intended as a
reproof. Yet it irritated the girl.
NO, / do not know him well
enough to call him by his first
name. l am aware of that. l am
still more certain that l wish l did
know him we'll"
The matron looked surprised.
"Why, my dear?" she asked.
Because he is a dandy chap. He
is enlisting with the Canadians. Co
ing to fight-just think of it!-risk
his life when he might stay at home
and be comfortable"
"A good many other fellows are
doing the same thing-at least so
the preacher told us Tonight Hon
ora said. Yet | fancy most of them
are going because they want to.
Either they-like young Hilton
have British blood in their veins, or
they want the adventure. Some men
crave that kind of thing-just as
some women do"
Il must be one of that kind
Mildred haZarded. For if l were a
man I'd so in jiffy."
so you have said before" Hon
81, 1rN-l
Pardon me for repeating my
self" Mildred retorted. But why
snub me?"
Il did not mean to snub you,"
Honora said, trying to laugh off the
little alteration.
She was chagrined that she and
her sister should have had slight
spat in the presence of Arthur
Bruce. She was honest enough with
herself to know that she had tried
to keep Mildred from eXpiating
of the subject of Harold Hilton,
because she was sure that the topic
was causing Arthur discomfort.
Such talk at this time showed a lack
of tact on the part of the younger
girl.
Only a Casual Friend
Yet, really, there was no cause
for her, Honora, to defend Arthur.
He was only a casual friend to her,
as she was TO him.
Have you had a pleasant eve
ming, my dear?" Mrs. Higgins was
trying to pour oil on the troubled
waters, and she was smiling at Mil
dred.
"Oh, pleasant enough, / guess,
the girl replied. Il cannot speak
for Arthur, of course. He can speak
for himself"
Her passage-at-arms with Honora
had annoyed her, and she felt cross
with everybody. Arthur, thus ap-
pealed to, tried to hide his embar-
rassment.
1T is never necessary to say that
one has had a good time in this
home" he remarked, gallantly,
THAT is one of the things that
speaks for itself"
Mrs. Higgins looked at him ap-
provingly. She liked and admired
this young man.

and laced her fingers in mine as we
stood wrapped in the whirl of sacred
feelings that comes when the flag
goes by.
How can they sit there-when
the band plays and the flags are fly
inE?" whispered Phoebe.
With ner young face alight. she
turned to Neal and Jim and cried:
Come! It's beautiful-the flag
and the boys. Itll make your hearts
thump and your throats choke-but
they're good thumps and good
chokes. Come, see!'
"It-hurts me to look, Phoebe. L
can ncver-march with them again,
YOU know" confessed Jim, wearily.
His acknowledgment told me how
weary he was.
Phoebe left me abruptly and ran
to her brother. Standing back of
him, she clasped her arms about his
neck and stopped to lay her little
heart-shaped face against his. And
then, to relieve the tension, she
spoke to Neal:
What branch of the service are
you going in for, Neal? Or will you
lust wait till you're drafted and let
them put you where they like?"
Jim lifted his head from Phoebe's
and looked straight across the room
at Neal. 1t seemed to me that
spark leaped from Jim's eyes to
Meals.

THE HEART BREAKER
A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY
by VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER

81 assure you we are always glad
to see you here, Mr.. Bruce" she
said.
why must 1 be Mr.. Bruce to
you?" he objected. when | was a
kid you called me Arthur How
have / forfeited a right to such ia
miliarity?"
The widow flushed as a girl might
have done. "Oh, L have seen you so
seldom since you were grown that l
did not want to be too familiar with
you," she explained. But l will be
glad TO call you Mr.. Arthur If you
would like me to-"
A few minutes later he took his
departure. BY the time the sound
of his footsteps had died away Mrs.
Higgins spoke her mind.
THAT is one of the most courtly
and graceful young men l have ever
known. l am glad you girls have
such a friend. He can always be
counted upon to do and say the
right thing"
She had too much delicacy to put
into words what she was thinking
namely, that he would make some
girl a good husband, and that she
hoped one of her charges would ap-
preciate this fact.
Instead, she went out into the
kitchen to give Katie a final order,
then, returning, locked the front
door, put out the lights, and led the
way upstairs.
Mildred Apologies
Mildred Brents anger was seldom
of the enduring variety. She was
easily annoyed, but could not hold
her wrath long.
So she and her sister had not been
in their room more than five min
utes before she made overtures of
peace.
"Honora," she ventured, ''if 1
was cross just now l am sorry.
But you did snub honestly
and made me feel very cheap when
you reminded me that 1 was re-
peating a remark that l had per-
petrated already"
Il did not mean to snub you,
dear, so let's forget all about it"
Honora returned. I'VE were both
a little cross, | fancy"
"It was rather awkward, that
question that Mrs. Higgins asked" +"
Mildred observed later. Il mean
her question as to whether we had
had a pleasant evening"
Honora was brushing her hair
before her dressing table, and now
turned quickly, the brush poised in
midair.
"Why?" she asked abruptly.
Because" Mildred replied, 1T so
happens that Arthur proposed to
me this evening"
The brush fell to the floor Honora
stopped to pick it up.
And you she began, then
stopped.
