Old Bronson had risen from his
chair in great distress. "Your aunt
was talking nonsense because she's
piqued over business matter,
George" he said. "She doesn't mean
what she said, and neither she nor
anyone else gives the slightest credit
to such foolishness-no one in the
world"
George gulped, and wet lines shone
suddenly along his lower eyelids.
'They-they'd better not!' he said,
then stalked out of the room, and out
of the house.

"She said" He faltered.
"You look SICK" said his uncle, and
laughed shortly. eff it's because of
anything Amelia's been saying, I don't
blame you! What else did she say?"
George swallowed again, as with
nausea, but under his uncle's encour-
agement he was able to be explicit.
"She said my mother wanted you to be
friendly to her about Eugene Morgan.
She said my mother had been using
Aunt Fanny as chaperone."

Paw TO Jan Soldiers.

In the opinion of the Jul, the pay of
Japanese soldiers is too small. At
present it is 1.56 yen (7S cents) a
month for first and second class pri-
Yates, and 1.95 COS cents) for corpo-
rails. Even il, the pay be increased so
per cent says the editor, it will not
suffice for the needs of the soldiers.
At present they have to get money
from home to make up the shortage,
which is not right. The total pay of
the soldiers amounts to $2,150,000. If
it is trebled, the government will need
only $4,3O0,O00 additional.

almost was Lucy's last word on
the last night of Georges vacation
that vital evening which she had half
consented to agree upon for settling
things between them. almost en-
gagged" she meant. And George, dis
contented with the almost" but con-
tented that she seemed glad to wear a
sapphire locket with tiny photograph
of George Anderson Minafer inside it,
found himself wonderful in a new
world at the final instant of their part
ing. For, after declining to let him
kiss her "good-by," as if his desire for
such ceremony were the most pre-
posterous absurdity in the world, she
had leaned suddenly close to him and
left upon his cheek the veriest feather
from fairy's wing.
She wrote him a month later:
"No. It must keep on being almost.
isn't almost pretty pleasant? You
know well enough that care for you.

and I'm pretty sure you knew it>Tm
afraid you did. I'm afraid you always
knew it. But it's such solemn thing
it scares me. 1t means a good deal to
lot of people besides you and me,
and that scares me, too. shouldn't
be bit surprised to find myself an
old lady, some day, still thinking of
you-while you'd be away and away
with somebody else perhaps, and me
forgotten ages ago! Lucy Morgan
you'd say, when you saw my obituary.
Lucy Morgan? Let me see: I seem
to remember the name. Didn't know
some Lucy Morgan or other, once upon
timer Then you'd shake your big
white head and stroke your long white
beard-you'd have such distinguished
long white beard and you'd say, No.

Morgan; wonder what made me think
I didY And poor me! I'd be deep in
the ground, wondering If you'd heard
about it and what you were saying |!
Good-by for today. Don't work too
hard-dear! !"
George Immediately seized pen and
paper, plaintively but vigorously re-
questing Lucy not to imagine him with
beard, distinguished or otherwise,
even in the extremities of age. Then,
after inscribing his protest in the mat
ter of this visioned beard, he con-
cluded his missive in a tone Modified
to tenderness, and proceeded to read a
letter from his mother which had
reached him simultaneously with
Lucy's. Isabel wrote from Asheville,
where she had just arrived with her
husband:
81 think your father looks better al
ready, darling, though we've been here
only a few hours. 1t may be we've
found just the place to build him up.
The doctors said they hoped it would
prove to be, and if it is, 1t would be
worth the long struggle we had with
him to get him to give up and come
I'm afraid that in my anxiety to get
him to do what the doctors wanted
him to, I wasn't able to back up Broth

George is more upset than I've ever
seen him-they've got what they want
ed, and they're sailing before long,

suading-rm afraid the word he used

Fly's Many Enemies.

If the determination Of the fly was
left solely to us humans, the world
would be nothing but thick mass of
insects. AS with all other of ma
lures creatures, the housefy has nat.
ural enemies. Birds prey upon the fly.
Toads, spiders and other animals also
deplete the ranks Of the fly in huge
quantities. Only these natural en-
emies prevent the fly from filling the
earth in immense clouds. Kiplings law
is exemplified in the life of the fly ex-
terminators. The toad is beset by the
snake and the toad devours flies. Life
is the survival of the fittest.

had appeared to her as tinged with
heroism-she had shown, rather than
said, how brave she thought him.
When he went back to college, what
came most wildly to Georges mind,
during retrospections, was the despair
ing face of his Aunt Fanny. Again and
again he thought of it; he could not
avoid its haunting. Her grief had been
so silent, yet it had so amazed him.
George felt more and more compass
sion for this ancient antagonist of his.
and he wrote to his mother about her:
