here for business, pure and simple"
He regarded the girl with stern eyes.
"For the general efficiency and disci-
pline of the Office" he went on, kind
ly see that 1t does not occur again"
He bowed in grandlOse manner to in
dictate that the interview was at an
end and bent over his desk. That mat
ter was disposed of.
The color rose to the face of the
girl, and for moment her eyes regard
ed him dumfounded, then without a
word she turned and left the room.
Alone in his Office Henry Travers
tried to concentrate his mind on the
business In hand. But he felt strange
ly disturbed. The little incident that
had just occurred insisted on occupying
his thoughts, try as he might to put it
from him.
He was not sure that he had acted
rightly. He realized, too, that he had
spoken harshly, when he had meant
only to be emphatic; where GOODNESS
and Indifference were intended the
throb Of passion had crept into his
tones.
In the six months he had been man
ager of the Worthwhile Glove COM
pany he had always found Julia Deane
a loyal and dependable lieutenant. He
had come to rely on her more than he
had hitherto realized. And the quiet,
self-assured manner with which she
carried out her duties had made a
powerful impression on his business
sense.
But there had been no other feeling
for her. In all his years he had never
allowed any lesser consideration to
blind the vision of his mental activi-
ties.
Now, like distorting mirror, flash
ed before his eyes, he saw and recog-
nized the leering face Of jealousy and
the canker had entered his being.
Gladly would he have fired Halliday,
but he could not sink TO the humilia-
ton Of letting his personal feelings
overcome his common sense.
AS he sat at his desk, vainly trying
to concentrate on materlai tnlngS, q
knock came at the door. He looked
up. The very man who was occupying
his thoughts was standing there. AS
he advanced Travers noticed the look
of boyish gladness on his face, of
triumph in his eyes.
The older man steeled himself to
meet young Halliday. 1t had been a
rule of the Office for many years that
employees should notify the chief in
the event of an approaching marriage.
A tradition duly observed. There could
be but one reason, then, for that look
of supreme happiness on Halliday's
face.
"The time has come" said the young
err man drawing himself up at the desk,

He broke Off. "Well, one mans loss Is

dropped his eyes from the young mans
face. Halliday stared at him m. sti-

"Why, what's the big idea, Mr.. Trav-

"But III understood you were be-
trothed," stammered the manager.
"Say, Mr.. Travers, what do you take

day.
Travers looked at him sternly. He
resented the fiippant tone in the words.

With very heartfelt handshake,
which caused the young benedict to
wonder at its intensity. Travers wished
his junior the best Of luck and SINGER
est congratulations. ~ hope you may
be very happy with Julia Deane's Sis

1t was late in the afternoon that
Henry Travers called his secretary to
take dictatiOn. No mention was made
on either part of the incident of the
morning. When the last letter had
been taken down the girl rose to her
feet. The feeling Of restraint that had
been felt all along was now raised to
vibrant pitch.
The fall evening was blurring into
faint outlines the familiar objects
about the room. AS the secretary
moved across to the door without turn
Ing her head, she asked question.
"Shall l put on the light?' TYavers,
standing at his desk, idly lingering
some papers, answered Eyes" Then
hastily correcting himself, cried mo,
no." He crossed the room in couple
of strides and faced the girl.
Julia !" he cried, and an echo Of
the masterfulness that had so fallen
from him during the day had come
back to him. But the girl did not seem
to heed him. She stood waiting, her
eyes cast downward to the floor.
Julia" he said again, and vibrant
pleading was in his voice. He saw a
white hand flutter upward in the vague
d'mness and press against her heart.
He threw out his hands In self-exulta-
ton.

cried, until 1 saw that kiss this morn

She did not move. Reverently he put
his arms about the yielding figure, and
as the night dropped its soft folds
around them he bept his head and put
his lips to those upheld to him.

New zeaIand,s Pest. the Kea.

New Zealand farmers have started n
crusade against the kea. The bird
threatens to kill off thousands of sheep
and ruin the country's industry. The
kea is kind of parrot, smaller than
the rock, and has an immensely strong
beak and claws. Forty years ago there
were very few kea parrots In New
Zealand, but they are now the COM
monest birds i'm the Islands. The kea
attacks sheep day and night. 1t strikes
the sheep on the head, tears open the
body with its claws, and gorges on the
warm flesh. Hundreds of these ma
RAIDERS have been killed, but, in spite
of this, seem to thrive. The curious
thing is that the male bird can not
be distinguished from the hen, and no
nest has ever been found. No one is
able to say where the bird breeds and
when, and young birds are never seen.

NEW TREASURY CERTlFI-
GATES ARE LIKE
BABY BONDS.

The new Treasury certificates or
500 and $1,000 denominations are like
"Baby Bonds" Here are the chief
facts about them:
They are tax free, except inner
itance, surtaxes, war profits and ex-
cess profits taxes.
They bear per cent interest, COM
pounded quarterly.
They mature January /, 1924.
They may be cashed at the option of
the holder for purchase price plus ac-
crued interest any time before matur-
ity date.
They never depreciate in value, but
increase monthly, guaranteed by U. s.
Government.
They are registered in Washington,
which prevents loss by fire or theft
Each bears inscribed thereon the name
of purchaser.
Certificates are issued in book form,
each book containing ten certificates.
The 500 certificate costs the same
as twenty War Savings Stamps. The
$1,000 certificate costs the same as 200
War Savings Stamps.
500 certificates can be obtained at
any post office.
Both 500 and $1,000 certificates
may be obtained at banks.
500 certificates increase 20 cents
and the $1,000 two dollars month in
price.
The cost by months is follows:

KEEN ON FAMILY TRADITION
Mothers Usually Impress Offspring
With the eIories Of Her Side
of the House.

No matter how masterful the hus-
band may be; and no matter from
what high estate he came, nor how
subordnated his wife may appear, be
sure that the wife always compares
her family to his, and hers always
shines by comparison.
Through the generations the moth
ers have taken this subtle revenge on
man.
Though they lost their family name,
still they kept in their hearts n con-
viction of the high estate OF their
house.
And to their children they impaired
reverence for the glories of the moth
er tribe.
1t Is a ten-to-one chance that your
maternal grandmother either in person
or by tradition, meant more to you as
child than your, paternal grand
mother.
Most Of us know mighty little about
our fathers folks; about their fam
lily glories and achievements.
But we know what our maternal
eat-great-grandmothe did.
You will note that the Daughters OF
the American Revolution are as po-
tent an organization today as they
were a generation ago, says Omaha
News. Sons of the American Revolu-
ton are seldom heard Of,
If it depended on dad to uphold fam
lily tradition he probably would dwell
rs much on his great-uncle, who was
hanged by the neck until dead, as on
his Observation-Disclosures, who was
governor.
