The old man gaSped, turned III

too was at heart, he claspcd the great
boy in his arms.

across the khaki shoulders. "But you
have taken up a greater career, brave
soldier
Young David laughed off the mo-
ment of emotion that threatened his
recently acquired manhood, and picked
up his violin. David had but lately
passed twenty-one
He played something rollicking and
happy to sweep away the tears, and
when his uncle was smiling he smiled.

book and glanced quickly through 1T.

tnr,'d from the throat of the songbird
upstairs.
David breathed heavily while he
drew his bow over those quaint notes,
and his cheeks became flushed and his
eyes brilliant. He was the tempera-
mental musical genius while he played.
His soul was fiuttering among the
poets, breathing their breath, gripping
their emotions. Yet his body was
clothed in khaki
''Uncle!" he demanded breathlessly
where did they come from? Are they
your own? They're gems-gems pol
ished by spirit breath. I have never

At that moment Mildred rose from
the bed on which she had thrown her
self in misery. She shook back her
shoulders and held herself in scorn
Tor having given way to so slight a

done in the world, and she was
pygmy. She knew that, with faith in
the good of all things, she would find
a way of helping the brave fighting
men.
And in the ecstasy of newly found

the office where she worked, the Old
man sat at his desk and transposed
the notes of her songs from his brain
to the stated paper on his desk.
He dotted in notes here and there,
making changes, adding a hint of
technique here and sense of rhythm
there. Each page as it fluttered from
his pen held a dainty score of music
notes that a generation to come would
still be singing. They were exquisite
bits of melody, some for the voice and
others for the violin.
The old man pondered hour upon
hour as to the identity of the girl
whose voice gave to his listening ears
those wonderful notes.
In his own lifetime he had COM
posed songs that would live and live
and re-live, and now he was weary.
He had drained his own cup Of in
spiratiOn to the dregs, and now this
girl in the room above had flung into
his soul snatches of melody that it
were a crime to have lost.
He wondered from whom she had
inherited that gift of original herding
Of notes.
'"There has been music somewhere,
everywhere about her, and yet hardly
think she is conscious that she has
composed a score or more of wonder
full songs"
And because David Ward was ro-
mantle old man, with soul filled to
the brim with fantasy, he pOndered on
picturesque way in which to &C.
quaint the girl with her own gift. He
had the songs for the voice bound in
one dainty volume, and those for the
violin in another.
And while the old man pondered
Mildred, too, was worrying her brain
and becoming wistful-eyed and trou-
bled.
Il just can't stand it any longer"
she told herself, tearfully. 81 must
make some money. Everyone else is
helping the soldiers, and 1 don't even
have five dollars extra a month to
help with"
That evening her song was sad; so
sad that David Ward swept moisture
/ from his eyes as the notes stopped
abruptly in the room above.
Something told him that sobs had
chOked the sOngbird's notes.
An hour later when the sad little
melody was down on paper, David's
door was flung open and his big
nephew bounded In, a wonderful smile
on his face and his shoulders erect.
He was wearing khaki.

strength With which to fight on her
throat unpinioned it's notes and &
grandeur of song pierced the twilight.
The old composer and his nephew
sat below with hushed breath.
There" whispered the one "there
is where they came from, and she
doesn't know it." He smiled quietly in
the Swallowed room. The picturesque
way with which to acquaint Mildred
with her own genius suddenly came to
him. He looked fOndly at the black
rumpled head Of his big nephew. That
the soldiers spirit was already up
there meeting with the girls was quite
evident from the exalted look in his
eye.
And in her room Mildred suddenly
felt a hot flush singing her cheeks
Someone seemed to have taken her
closely within his arms, and when her
glowing eyes could see through the
scarf of love tlat enveloped her she
saw that the arms were khaIxi-clad.
And looking a little beyond she saw
violin lying on the table, and beside
it, sitting With a wonderful smile in
his dear blue eyes, was q White-haired
man.
Mildred looked at her cheeks in the
mirror. Yes, there was color there.
A door opened in the room below, and
presently she heard a knock on her
own door.
C,tn inn nf
other, young David and Mildred, the
old man below fancied his listening
ears caught the soft swish Of souls as
they scurried into the meeting place
Of al lovers.
And out in the world these little
snatches Of melody were to be waited
from one heart to another, to take
their proper place among the COM
positions of the century.

dreu sang We're light and happy; then
again they told of a heavy heart that
longed for rest, and yet again there
was tremendous grandeur in her song,
as if some great emotion held her in
its grip.
Mildred could not have repeated the
quaint airs that her heart fashioned
in her brain. They were little snatches
of expression in song that were as
spontaneous as they were tuneful.
She did not realize that her notes
were herding themselves together in
dainty compositions that were full Of
sentiment and harmony.
To the White-haired musician that
sat by his window in the room above
Mildred. He drank them into his
muSic-tuned soul as a thirsting animal
laps the sparkling water from noun
tain brook.
The notes dubbed and laughed at
times, and it was then that the old
man smiled and his eyes were bright.
And when the voice dropped and the
notes fell heavily on the air, then did
his heart beat DULY with an ache that

SCOUTS IN FOOD CAMPAIGN

Among the workers who have been
doing excellent work in arousing the
people to the necessity for conserving
food and signing the pledge card, the
boy scouts deserve to be given much
credit
Some Of these scouts have had very
interesting experiences. One Whining
ton woman came to the door with a
baby in her arms. Had she signed the
card2 No, she hadn't and didn't intend
to either. She told the scout to move
Oh and not bother her.
But this scout had much diplomacy
in his makeup. While the woman was
berating him, he began petting the
child. He remarked What a fine-look-
ing girl it was.
Told Indignantly by the mother that
1t wasn't a girl, but a boy, he tactfully
remarked that if that was the case, he
bet the babe when it reached manhood
would help Uncle Sam in every way
that he could.
The children across the seas were In
such sorry need of food, the scout re-
marked 1t was a shame that they did
not have some Of the stuff that people
in Wilmington threw eway in garbage
pals.
That made the woman ask some
questions OF the scout. When he had
answered them, about the need for
food being conserved she asked for a
pledge card and signed it.

Love Bug Is Found.

City magistrates are accustomed to
meeting all kinds Of bugs" but never
before had the magistrate sitting in
Jefferson Market court says a New
York correspondent, encountered the
"love bug" until recently. Standing
at the bar was a modest looking fell
low who admitted that more than 200
pretty girls were after him. All want
ed to marry him, he told the court.
They loved his eyes, his smile and him.
In fact, worshipped him. And hinder
ing his progress, he complained, was
one woman, for whom he earnestly
sought a warrant for arrest. Then,
free from the ever-watchful eye of her
who was bound to ruin his life, he
would go out, love them all, marry
them all, give them all homes on Fifth
avenue, repay them for the love they
gave him. From behind a small pocket
mirror he told his story. A flake of
dust on his cold nose he wiped away
with a lavender handkerchief. And
could the judge do anything for him?
In the observation ward at Bellevue
the man at latest reports was doing
nicely.

The glamour was gone this morn
ing from the departure of the III
young from Bemidii for Camp Wads-
worth, N. c., practically the last, of
Glass One of the first draft. Be-
midi has become used to such scenes.
1t was the largest quota that has left
Benidji and on Friday, 54 more will
leave Baudette for the same camp,
being the draftees from the north
end of the country and part of the
same quota. In this mornings en-
trainment three were sent for other
boards and "a went from other
points .....s...,-..y. ......
The quota reported at the city hall
at an early hour The Twenty-first
Battalion Home Guard band and
Home Guard company also reported
and escorted the embryo soldiers to
the depot. Four coaches were re-
quired to carry the draftees and the
coaches were crowded to capacity.
The pulling out of the train was a
most solemn moment. Not a sound
was heard and the big crowd stood
in silence, waving hands and hand
kerchiefs. 1t was several moments
before faint cheers broke and as the
throng turned it was noticed that
