was keeping the records. Here Merker
gave his name and address, whereat
the young woman who had accosted
him studied him c~uriously from the
corner Of her eye, and just then an
other girl futtered up saying breath
lessly:
"Oh, Adele, how splendid, you have
another oner" and the woman who
kept the records said precisely: Eyes,
this makes nineteen for Miss Aldrich."
Whereas Merker turned impulsively
to. the brown-eyed one, took her by
the arm and drew her away from the
desk.
"You recognized my name and were
never going to make yourself known"
he accosted.
She flushed and gave him a fleeing
look. IL wanted to be sure" she
said.
"And now that you're sure?" he ask
ed quizzically.
She had recovered her poise and
with her head a little on one side she
laughed saucily. "Why, l don't know.
I'm sure. Except Of course I should
thank you for mailing my letter."
"You've done that" he reminded her.
"Well, what more can l dol" she
asked darlngly. "You don't expect me

Merker laughed in spite Of himself.
"Let me tell you this, young lady; that
letter started something but It's not
going to finish 1t. I'm coming to
see you"
"Whenf" she dared him.
Thursday night" he said promptly.
"Won't be home Thursday.
"Friday night. then"
She shook her head.
Saturday, then"
Again she shook her head, and tust
then someone called her and she turn
ed from him with a little challenge In
her eyes and was gone.
Merker FASTENED Off to keep his ap-
polntment and later in the afternoon
while he was eagerly returning to the
station hoping to see the brown-eyed

Merker was hurrying through the
crowded New York streets on his way
to the railway station to buy his ticket
for home. He stood waiting for a car
and just as 1t drew up he saw an I'M
stamped letter lying in the street. He
stopped and picked it up, slipping it
Into his pocket as he boarded the a
with the intention of mailing 1t when
he reached the station. However, it
slipped his mind and not until the next
day did he discover 1t again.
1t was addressed to Miss Adele Aid
rich, 1920 Parkway, Bushton, N. j., in
what was evidently a girls handwrit-
Ing. Merker studied the address for a
moment thOughtfully, and then, with a
grin, he took out his fountain pen and
wrote on the back In small script:
Letter found at 2Sth and Broadway,
Monday, December 18th. 2:30 p. m.
Sorry 1t was delayed in mailing" and
signed his name and address. Then on
his way to the restaurant he dropped
the letter In a box and promptly forgot
1t again.
Three weeks later he returned to
New York, and among the dozen letters
that had accumulated In his mail box
during his absence was one addressed
in a strange feminine hand postmark-
ed Bushton, N. ]. On the face of it,
1t was a prim little note of thanks for
his courtesy in mailing her letter that
he had found, but between the lines
danced a dare-a challenge to romance
and the great adventure. He answered
the note In kind, and then a few days
later had occasion to go to Bushton
while the Red Cross drive was on, and
In the station a dozen or so Red Cross
workers fitted about soliciting the
crowds that came from the trains.
Suddenly Merker was looking down
into a pair Of brown eyes and he hest
tated.
"Have you joined" she began,
with a little dimple wavering south
east Of the left corne Of her pink
mouth.
II have" he laughed. "but I'll join
again."
She smiled her thanks and led the

Peace Conference. President Wilson
should write these men and ask them
what to do before going ahead. OF

what they are doing and they have the

competent to tell the president what
he should and should not do. If a few
Of these critics would wait and see
why President went across they may
be like Senator Lodge, Roosevelt and
others who criticised Wilson's terms
to Germany. They took it all back
when they really understood what Mr.
Wilson meant. Faith in the high and
honest character Of President Wilson
is why Austria ave up the fight, and
when Austria gave up there was moth.

has done all things well why not wait
until he returns to criticise him. II
