WABENO. WIS.
could do SO later If he had to, but he
resolved in the meantime to conduct
his own search for Maggie-Rose
Flynn.
After Bob reached home that night
he looked up all the Flynns in the d.
rectory and marked the ones he
thought most likely to be related in
some manner to Maggie-Rose. Next
day he tried calling them up from a
public telephone booth, in each case
asking casually for Maggie-Rose, and
in each case being misunderstood, ma
ligned and disappointed. By mid
afternoon he had ascertained that she
did not belong to any of the Flynns
listed in the directory of his native
city. Perhaps she lived with an aunt,
or perhaps-horrible thought, she had
left town, gone back to some faraway
place which she honored by her resi-
dence. There seemed but one thing
to do-go back to his hostess of the
night before and ask for full particu-
lars regarding Miss Maggie-Rose
Flynn, divulging, if need be, his rea-
son for wishing to know.
Mrs. Banning herself was not at
home that afternoon, but the debutante
daughter was; peals of laughter from
the library told that she was enter
tanning some young people at tea.
Perhaps she could tell him about
MaggieRose. Perhaps
But as he entered the door the first
person Bob saw was MaggierRose her
self, sitting by the fire, her blue eyes
blue as the shimmery frock she wore,
her smile more bewitching than ever.
''Why, Mr.. Ellison" exclaimed lit
tie Miss Banning, much f1attered by
this visit. "DO come in and have some
tea with US. suppose you met Miss
Wayne last night, didn't you? Maggie
Rose has been telling me about some
nice man who took her out to supper
and from her description / couldn't
think who it could possibly be but you.
Now was. it?'
sit was,'' confessed Bob, 'only I
didn't know-Maggie-Ro se-was Miss
Wayne-">
"And 1 didn't catch your name,
either" confessed Miss Wayne.
'Wasn't it stupid? I thought all the
time that your name was Murphy be-
cause you look like a boy I used to
Jimmy Murphy. He had brown eyes
and nose like yours"
"Good gracious, Maggie-Rose," broke
in Miss Banning, "Mr. Ellison isn't
Irish !"'
swell, I am" declared Miss Wayne,
making charming moue, "that is one
of my grandmothers was. For the rest
I'm plain American but I'm glad of a
little Irish to balance the Puritan
part"
$50 am l." declared Bob Ellison de-
voutly. 81 was wondering, Miss
Maggie-Rose, whether you wouldn't
like to take a walk in the park this
afternoon, or some time"
AT dinner that evening Mrs. Ellison,
who had permitted herself to indulge
in dreams Of daughters-in-law for sew
eral hours during the day, asked her
son what was, to her, burning ques-
ton.
did you meet Miss Wayne last
night, the one from Boston?"
Her son looked slightly confused, as
though reused suddenly from dreams
of his own.
"Eh? Oh, Maggie-Rose? Yes, I
met her last night. I meant to tell
you"
"Maggie-Rose! mean did you meet
Miss Margaret ROseborough Wayne
the Miss Wayne of BOston?"
81 met her." he nodded" Her names
Maggie-ROse, and she's the sweetest
girl in all the world. and we're going
to be married. I was just trying to
tell you, mother"

Tanks and Germany's Superiority in
Steel

From the beginning there has been
the wishful thought to minimize Ger
many's industrial resources and to ignore
what her conquests in Belgium, North
ern France and Poland meant to her in
capacity for armament and offence.
Since 1914 the output of steel in the
United States has increased more than
onethird, and in the British Isles about
the same. 1t could hardly be otherwise
with Germany Estimates, therefore.
which set the production of the Central
Powers at about the same as four
years ago would seem to be completely
misleading. But even if we assume an
increase only equal to the actual de-
crease in the territories seized bv the
