CHAPTER II
Something About Henderson

"Our Henderson biography hap

Miss Morgan, dropping her dark
eyelashes as she considered the posi-
ton. II was looking over it only
a few months ago. 1t is practically
ready for tomorrow's paper. l
think the Sun had better use the
sketch of his life they had about
two years ago, when he went to Ber-
lin and settled the potash difficulty
l remember it was a very good
sketch, and they won't be able to
carry much more than that. AS for
our'paper, of course we have a great
quantity Of cuttings, mostly rubbish.
The sub-editors shall have them as
soon as they come it. Then we have
two very good portraits that are our
own property; the best is drawing
Mr.. Trent made when they were
both on the same ship somewhere.
1t is better than any of the photo
graphs; but you say the public pre-
fers a bad photograph to a \good
drawing. l will send them down to
you at once, and you can choose.
AS far as / can see, the Record is

that you will not be able to get a

"Anthony?" asked Sir James; and
was at once deep in consultation
with the editor on the other side
of the road. He seldom entered the
Sun building in person: the atmos-

say, was all very we'll if you liked
that kind of thing. Mr.. Anthony,
the Murat of Fleet Street, who de-

fighting a tumultuous battle against

ELSIE BOOSTS
ARMY AS STEADY
JOB FOR YOUTHS.
After Seven Months Under
Military Regulations Miss
Janis Says Soldiers Are
Irregular Guys"
BY ELSIE JANIS.

If mother had only had the fore
thought to bring me up a regular
guy certainly would consider
Uncle Sans army asa good steady
job.
This war has taught US lot about
armies. Personally l never went in
for soldiers before the war and |
thought the army was mostly brass
buttons and bull.
But now having spent nearly
seven months travelling in army ears,
eating army food, obeying army Or
ders and falling in love with the en-
tire army, | know better, and l think
lot of the fellows who kicked
about things "over there" are going
to miss the same things over here.
Take for instance, Private -,
who hated the routine and regula-
tons. He will find the same routine
and regulations when he comes back
to trying on shoes for peevish
women or adding up figures in
books >that only tell Of the money
some one else is making or losing.
In the army he took orders from
his superior officers, but he knew
that if he made good he might be
giving orders in few months. But
as office boy in waist manufactur-
ing company, wat chance has the
poor boob got< of sneaking mp the
ladder when the guy who monopo-
lies the top rung is a regular Pot
ash or Perlmutter whose business
it is to grease the rungs and keep
expenses down?
The pay in the army is good. The
private soldier is admitted to be the
top dog" because without him
there amt going to be no war-or
peace! The American army will al
ways have food enough though the
cost of living goes so high that St,
Peter has to throw it back.
The army will always have place
to sleep even though common mil
lionaires can't afford a hall bedroom
in a New York hotel, and the army
will always be resected because
that's what an army is for-to de-
mand respect and to get it-not to
fight for it all the time, but to be
ready in case anyone is doubtful.
If | were>a boy struggling in the
whirlpool Of wage earners today |
would volunteer for the army of oc
cupation. l would see France and
Germany and maybe Russia.
Pm for the army all the time, and
| advise every man / know to get
into it.

"Hullo!" he cried into the tele-

in the instrument replied: "Hullo

burst forth in the street below. He
walked to the open window. A band
of excited boys was rushing down
the steps of the Sun building and
up the narrow thoroughfare toward
Fleet street. Each carried a bundle
of newspapers and a large broad
sheet with the simple legend:
