CHAPTER XIV.

Bayard tried Leila's recipe for a time, but there were expenses that he could not charge, and even the wad of money she had smuggled out of New port did not last long. Other people were no more willing to pay bills than he. Moneys that were owed to him he could not collect. He could not re- spOnd to the multitudinous appeals for charity. This was a real shame in times of such frantic needs. He could not do any of the honorable, pleasant things that one can do with money. He had to do many of the dishonor- able, loathsome things one without money must do.
 In his desperation Bayard's thoughts reverted to his original rescuer, his father. He never appealed to the old man in vain. Bayard had often prom ised himself the delight of sending home a big check as a subtraction from his venerable debt. But it was promise easy to defer, in the face of all the other temptations and OppOr tunitieS. His father never pressed him, never expected a return of the money he had been investing in the boy. For a child is a piece of furni- ture bought on the instalment plan to go into somebody's else house as soon as it is paid for.
 Bayard put off the appeal to his fa- ther as long as he dared, but at last sat down to the hateful letter.
 He hated to trouble his poor old dad at such a time Che wrote with h,1% h; raising some immediate money. He was young and husky and he would be on his feet in a jiffy. He would pay

TREE PUZZLE TO FOREsTERs
Peculiar Formation of Spruce Has Caused Speculation Among Men
 Learned in That Lore.

A cross section of great old spruce tree from Alaska tells the story of a tree which executed a spin, like bal let dancer. This cross section shows a most peculiar spiral structure, which has caused a great deal of speculation among the various foreSters through out the country and a very interesting explanation is advanced in American Forestry.
 It is known that tree growing at a slant forms on the lower side of the trunk a dense reddish wood known as ''rOtholz." This spiral in this case is of such sort. and as it is a continuous formation. winding from the center to within half an inch from the circum- ference, 1t is Surmised that it was growing in an inclined position on the edge of a glacier, where by some shifting 1t was caused to rotate, so that all sides of the tree were success Sively on the downward side. Thus, as the tree grew. and its rotation con- tinued slowly. the "rotholZ" developed into a spiral

THE ARMADILLO AS A DIGGER |
In Tug-of-War With a Boy the Ami nal Won Out in Quite
 Easy Manner.

One day l was standing on a mound when an arnadillo bolted from his earth and running to the very spot where was standing began vigorously digging to escape by burying himself in the soil.
 Neither men nor dogs had seen him. and at once determined to capture him unaided by anyone and imagined it would prove a very easy task.
 Accordingly I laid hold of his black bone-caSed tail with both hands and began tugging to get him off the ground, but couldn't move him. He went on digging furiOnsIy, getting deeper and deeper into the earth, and I soon found that instead of me pull ing him out he was pulling me in af- ter him.
 It hurt my small boy pride to think that an anima. no bigger than cat was going to heat me in a trial of strength, and this made me hold on more tenaci0uSly than ever and tug. and strain more violently. until not to lose him had to go flat on the ground. But it was all for nothing. First my hands. then my aching arms were carried down into the earth. and was forced to release my hold and get up to rid myself of the mound he had been throwing up into my face and all over my head, neck and shOul- ders.-From "Far Away and Long Ago" by w.

Anyway, in a few weeks the panicky conditions would be over and business would return to the normal He knew. he wrote, that "Old Reliable Kip" could perform his usual miracle and get blood from some of those Cleveland turnips.
 He was so sure of his father that he ended his letter with an advance pay ment of thanks. This was the first payment he had made in advance for a long time.
 He sealed the letter, put special delivery stamp on it, and took it to the branch post office so that it would reach Cleveland without fail the next morning.
 When he got back to the house there was telegram from home.
 Leaving beaver due tomorrow a. m. don't meet me but be home must see you important mamma we'll love.
 FATHER"
 The next morning BayarO rose be- times to meet his father at the train. And Daphne went to the Grand Cen tral station with him. She ran to her father and flung her arms about him, and Bayard hugged him and car ried his suitcase for him. It was no time to be tipping a porter. Nor to be making use of taxicabS with the iit- ney subway at hand. Bayard lugged his fathers suitcase along Fifty-ninth street. The hall boy, who had not been tipped for some days, observed a strict neutrality. He was feeling the pinch, too.
 When breakfast was ended Wesley noted that Leila herself carried the dishes away, with Daphne's help. When the table was clear she closed the door on the two men and said:
 Well leave your two alone to talk business"
 The two men regarded each other askance, as uneasily as two Wrestlers circling for a hold. Wesley was the first TO speak. He said:
 Well, my boy?'
 ''I wrote you long letter last night, dad" Bayard said.
 You did? What about?"

CHAPTER XVI.

Daphne had watched Leila>S little scene with as much confusion as the other two Kips She felt normal amount of jealousy, of course, as wom- an to woman, but no more than healthy amount for she liked Leila and she was grateful to Leila for be- ing able to rescue her father and for being willing to. It was fine thing for Leila to strip herself of her last splendOr to help an old father-in-laW pay ths i2terest on a mortgage on house in another town. Daphne gave Leila full need of applause for that.
 What e1nbitter l Daphne was that it had to be Leila and not herself that saved her father, and that Leila had to do the deed by spending things she had not paid for herself-Ornaments gewgaws, gifts.
 Leila had collected from life perhaps three thousand dollars worth of jew els and Daphne had collected fifty dollar check, framed-and that check was in lieu of work. As soon as she remembered that check she ran up to her room and took it down from the wall, ripped off the back of the frame and removed the check from the mat.
 She studied it and thought, '"The first money and the last" Then vigor and determination clenched all her muscles in a kind of lockjaw. She came out of the spasm in tremor of hySterical faith. She spoke her thought aloud in a fury: ''It sha'n't be the last. it sha'n't, it sha'n't, by golly :" The feebleness of the expletive dis guSted her. She tried to be powerful by way of powerful language. Before she knew it she ripped out a resound- ing oath that would have pleased good Queen Bess. By G., I'll pay my way honestly! like a man!'
 All her powder exploded in that one detonation.
 She fell over into a chair in horror. The blaSphemy seemed to rattle about the little room. 1t terrified her. Mrs. Chivvis ran down the hall, carrying her everlasting sewing, and tapped on the door and asked:
 you ill?"
 didn't say anything"
 That was doubly false. She had said something. In the slang of the hour she had said something" She had said an earful," also a heartful.
 Mrs. Chivvis supposed that what she had heard was some voice from the street. and went back along the hall, stitching as she walked.
 Daphne took the check and went down to Bayard's apartment. Bayard was on his way to the pawnbrOker's. Leila was in his room. Old Wesley sat in a chair facing a wall. He seem ed to see through it. Daphne went to him and put the check in his hand, ex- plaining what 1t was.
 Its all I ever earned, daddy, and want you to have it."
 He looked at it and smiled and tears fairly shot out of his eyes. He patted her hand between his and said:
 "Why, honey, I couldn't take your poor little earnings! Not for anything in this world"
 Please, daddy; it would make me ever so happy!"
 But it would kill me! You don't want to do that, do you? You must spend it on yourself. Buy yourself something nice with it.'

SEA SCOUTS TRAIN ASHORE

This Is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque, if not the most appealing, division of the scouting program. It has to deal with that element in the boys life which is seldom thoroughly satisfied unless he actually runs away and goes to sea.
 The program includes every phase of nautical work. It is based on a program outlined by and in charge of James A. Wilder. MT. Wilder has had the heartiest cooperation in develop ing this from the high officials of the navy department.
 The plan is a thoroughly working one and its promotion attracts a great

NOT EASY TO STAY A SCOUT.

Being a scout stands for service. This service may mean a sacrifice or the changing of his entire mode of living such as the encouragement of his studies or the giving up of amuse- ments or things he may like best. This of course is the real scouts program of unselfish and patriotic service to his country.
 In these days each scout feels that he has been called upon to make just such sacrifices and still has a debt to pay to his brother scouts and scout officials lover there"

only people who get sued are the poor little dubs that pay cash most of the time and then ask to be trusted when they're hard up."
 Bayard had rebuked Leila for spending money on clothes and on amusements. But she had had the fun: she still had the clothes; and where were the fruits of his years of self-denial? Where were his hoarded earnings? His few bonds were ire deemably in pawn. And on the roads of Belgium and East Prussia myriads of wretches who had kept thrift and builded them houses were staggering along in hungry penury, fugitive from shattered homes and wondering about the next days bread.

 1s forty-six. If I had gone into the market the other day with five thou sand dollars and snapped it up at 1orty-three I'd have cleaned up three hundred and half in no time"
 First catch your five thousand dollars" said Clay.
 Eve caught it,'' said Bayard. "T've had 1t all along"
 You have?' Clay groaned. eff I'd known that I'd have borrowed it to get married on."
 Mot in a million years" said Bay ard. "When I've made a killing with 4his money I'll make you all a pres ent, but you couldn't pry this out of me with a crowbar. I wish I knew where to borrow more. If you can raise any money, Clay, don't you spend it in matrimony. A fellow can get married any time, but it's only Once in ten years that you can climb aboard a market after a panic and ride in with the tide''
 He went to his safe deposit vault took out his bonds, carried them to the vice president of his bank, and borrowed all that he could raise on the securities. The bonds had fallen below par on account of the depres- sion. but Bayard was granted 80 per cent of their face value, minus 30 days discount at 5 per cent.
 His anemic bank account was sud- denly swollen by three thousand nine hundred and seventy-nine dollars and eighteen cents.
 He sought out a broker, a college friend whom he could trust, to advise him honestly. They conferred on the stocks to buy. The old dilemma could not be escaped: those that of fered the most profit offered the most risk. To buy on margins was further danger with promise of further profit
 Yet, after all, Bayard felt, to buy outright, however wise, was tame. Even if he doubled his money he would have only eight thousand in place of his four. And eight thou sand was no fortune.
 The question of what stocks to bet on was a thrilling one, requiring a long war council, but at length the disposition was made and he gave his broker the command to go forward.
 The market crept up and up. Bay ard turned his profits back into his speculation. He was growing rich. He was planning works of lavish charity, works of art, the purchase of a great reserve fund of securities.
