told him the girl said he had not been
back; but she determined not to notice
it.
"I'm brokel" he said shortly" We II

"Well, I'm not-that is, not quite.
Here's enough for dinner anyway" 1t
was her last five dollar bill, but her
week s salary was due on the morrow.
She couldn't help wondering what he
had done with the ten dollars she had
slipped into his vest pocket only the
day before. Perhaps he had been with
Mollie King, after all.
"It won't be much more if we don t
eat very much," he said ungraciously,
he took the bill and tucked it into his
pocket. "If food goes up much higher
Wen have to live without eating. !"
Ruth couldn t quite see his point, as she
had paid the house bills ever since they
had moved. Brian had spent nothing
save for electricity, gas, etc. The rent
would soon be due again. Would he let
her pay itg
"Well can eat my half Of It. I'm
starvedl" she said, laughing rather ner-
vously. She WOULD not make him
angry; and she WOULD have a pleas
ant evening. She was fast learning that
being tactful is not the easiest thin in
the world.
AT ceven they started out. They had
decided on a roof garden.
"Mighty little to spend in such a
place, f" Brian had growked, but Ruth on
ly laughed at him.
We II make it do" she said.
Could she have known that most Of
the ten dollars had, that afternoon, been
spent on a luncheon for himself and
Mollie King, she might have felt too
annoyed to laugh. And had she known
that they had sat over that luncheon
for the entire afternoon she would have
felt more like crying.
Brian felt little ashamed &C he took
the bill, her last. She had been mighty
good about Mollie. Had made hardly
any fuss, altho he knew she had been
hurt. He mustn't do it again. He'd
not take Mollie out unless Ruth were

Ruth hurried home as soon as noon
came. Crawford gave her light lun-
cheon, then gratefully went homo for
the day.
Oh, how good il seemed to be home
for whole afternoonl Ruth went from
room to room, doing little things here
and there; moving the furniture around ;
fussing just as every woman loves to
fuss-if she doeshn't have to do it too
often.
Wouldn' I Brian be surprised whom he
came home, to find that she had had
half day Off Perhaps she better tel
ophone him. He might come home real
early. Then they could dress and make
a party of it. Go to some nice place for
dinner and to a play afterwards.
She waited until about half past four,
then she called the office where he had
desk room. The stenographer answer-

CARRYING THE WAR INTO GERMANY.

General Pershing has in view the invasion of Germany
through Luxembourg, according to to j. W. T. Mason the
Unitd Press expert His opinion seems to be well
founded and all recent moves made by the Americans
to bear him out. Pershing is gradually widening
his front north of Verdun to give line to launch his
drive the German line and carry the war into the

greater force against the Germans in the Argonne forest
up to the present time the Meuse river has been con-
sstent menace to General Pershings right wing as the
Argonne is danger to his left. The twelve miles of
frontage between these barriers has compelled the utmost
care in the disposition of the American units and has
seriously hampered the tactical operations.
The Germans on the east bank of the Meuse are now
being driven backward for perhaps Onehaf the depth of
the American front north of Verdun The Meuse there
