The Enemy
By Ivan Graham

he'd given thought to childish games
not since his boyhood, in fact.
Otherwise he might not have had to
seek out this remote rural spot in
which to recreate ragged nerves! He
was not one TO seek the byways of
the countryside for their own sake.
For him the sidewalk, the teeming
streets, houses. people. the drive and
scurry of a great city. But nature
will sometimes call us with beck
oning hand-it is best to obey!
Many times after that first day
the fearless scout sighted the enemy.
and the weary. worldworn man
would play the game for all he
knew. Never again did he make the
mistake of being shot at and not re-
spending. He always fell a crumpled
heap.
Their playground was a meadow.
a meadow of undulating mounds
and stunted bushes behind which
fearless scouts could lie in ambush.
They had not spoken at all that first
day. but afterwards they grew more
friendly. it became almost a daily
habit with the man to seek the Sc
cluded meadow, and then to wait
until he heard the click Of the lit
tie gun. Then when he had duly
fallen MORALLY wounded the scout
would creep up to him and they
would talk about all kinds Of fas-
cinating things-Indians, and boats
and pirates and foreign lands. The
scout was TO be six on his next
birthday and Arliss-well, the grey
was about his temples.
At one side of the meadow a cot
tage stood and that apparently was
where the fearless one lived, for as
evening approached a woman would
come TO the back door and call AR
thur" a voice with a very sweet
tone, and the fearless one would
cry goodbye. enemy" and run OFF.
But day came when Arthur had
to be carried TO the cottage, and a
woman with an anxious face awaited
him.
They had been playing pirates
The enemy had turned into a man
of-wars-man and was chasing the
pirate A cry OF pain, and Arliss hur-
ried up to find a little white face
set with the effort TO conceal the
pain of a twisted ankle. He picked
the little fellow up and bore him in
his arms to the esTage where he
had seen the woman call.
When the ankle had been bathed
in cold water and bandaged and the
weary little figure lay sleeping on
the sofa. the man and woman faced
one another.
After all these years."
The meeting had been unexpected,
and the little patiens had kept them
busy when they might have spoken
TO each other before.
So they just stood looking at one
another as though each were looking
down the long, long vista OF the
years. At last the man said.
so you married - The woman
nodded.
And you?' He shrugged his
shoulders.

VETO BY PRESIDENT
SAVES DAYLIGHT ACT
Declares to Turn the Clock Back
Would Cause a Heavy Eco
nomic Loss.

Washington, July 14.-President
Wilson vetoed the agricultural bill be-
cause of it's provision repeating the
daylight saving law.
In regard to the agricultural bill
the president sent the following COM
munication to the house of representa-
tiveS:
81 take the liberty of returning FL.
r. 1857, An act making appropr1a-
lions for the department of agricul-
ture for the fiscal year ending June
ture for the fiscal year ending June
3d. 1920 without my signature.
81 realize, of course, the grave in
convenience which may arise from
the postponement of the legislation
at this time, but feel obliged to with
hold my signature because of the
clause which provided that at and
after 2 o'clock a. M. on Sunday, Octo-
Der 26, 1919, next the act entitled An
act to save daylight and to provide
standard time for the United States,
approved March 10, 1918, be and the
same hereby is repealed
81 believe that the repeal of the act
referred to would be of very great
inconvenience to the country, and L
think that l am justified in saying
that it would constitute something
more than an inconvenience. 1t
would involve a serious economic loss.
The act was intended to place the
nIiof b1cipocc oo+ivitioS of tho conn
try as nearly as might he within the
limits of daylight throughout the
year. 1t resulted in very great econ
omies of fuel and in substantial econ
omy of energy, because of the very
different effect of work done in the
daylight and work done by artificial
light"
