Also, the good-hearted praise of

our home for the aged-these insti-
~tutions are founded on exactly the
same principles, purposes and ideals
that took as to France. The service
of mankind is the purpose that un-
derlies all our works, and we care

what hardships we must undergo 30

continue to fight as we have been
fighting for suffering humanity; to
life up the woman who has fallen; to
encourage the man who is faltering;
to carry milk to starving babies; to
befriend the ~friendless; to shelter
the homeless-to perform the myriad
acts of service to which all OF us who
wear the uniform of the Salvation

That is the war we are fighting.
and our weapons are the dollars of
those who. while not of the Salvation
Army in actually. still are of the
Salvation Army in spirit and purpose.
We ask for our armament freely
without apologies, realizing that the
public knows now as never before
what the Salvation Army is, what its
ideals are, and what its record of
achievement. We have emerged from
the fires of the greatest struggle the

; The telephone in the east room OF
| the Hanford homestead rang zing-zing-
zing. Miss Hanford, who was writing
notes, glanced inquiringly at the In
strument. The house was on party
lime, to be sure; separate wires in that
locality were not to be thought Of; but
Eleanor did not remember having
heard "ring three" call that year.
!! Zing-zing-zing! Zing-zing-zing! clam
:ored the phone. Miss Hanford was
wondering; as ten thousand other peo-
iple have wondered under similar cir
,cumstances, whether she shouldn't
really answer, on the chance OF the
operator having made mistake, when
"a man burst into the room.
/. The man was total stranger.
Eleanor had never seen him before. He
was a large man and young, and obvi-
ously stark, raving mad; for not only
had he made his entrance to the house
uninvited and without permission OF

word of apology and without even
gIancing at Miss Hanford, he rushed
wildly to the telephone, grabbed the
receiver and yelled in lavishly re-
dundant voice. "Hello!''
To Eleanor's ordinarily calm eyes
his entire demeanor was that Of a
lunatic, perhaps a dangerous one.
Without too much fuss she shifted her
position so that the drawer with the
pistol in it was just beside her right
hand.
The intruder, who had flung himself
into the none-too.strong windsor chair
beside the telephone table and made it
creak alarmingly in doing so, appeared
still to be utterly unaware of Miss
Hanford's presence.
"Hello! Hello !" he bawled, the look
of wild anxiety on his countenance
becoming still wilder as he appeared
to wait, in desperate impatience, a
reply that did not come.
Miss Hanford, who was never pre-
cipitate, had almost made up her mind
to flee and seek the protection Of old
Mark, the gardener, or Hannah In the

kitchen, when a great change came
upon the man at the phone. The
strained, eager look disappeared, a:
happy light sprang into his gray eyes,
and he smiled broadly. Miss Hanford
mentally classified the smile as a grin:
"Like Cheshire cats" she indignant
ly concluded.
'Sure, this is Les" the unfnvited
guest was saying into the phone.
"Never so glad to hear human voice
in my life, sweetheart! Don't seem as
II could wait another minute to see
you. What's that? Yes; didn't know
but you'd be up on the two-eighteen.
Yes; gets here at five-twenty. You bet (;
I'll be there. Good-by honey!"
When about half way through this
;. monolOgue the man twisted about on
his chair till he was facing the mis-
tress Of the Hanford establishment.
Then, still grinning broadly and with
the receiver still at his ear, he winked
at Eleanor-winked at Miss Eleanor
Hanford, If you please! The nerve Of
him!
Miss Hanford arose, to the full height
Of her sixty-three majestic inches.
She no longer felt any fear Of this
mailman; she was experiencing instead
a mighty indignation. Much-anything
might be forgiven in mere lunatic
but for a vandal like this to violate
your privacy, to seize upon your prop
erty, to set at defiance all the c0nven-
tions and safeguards of society-for
the purpose of making love over your
phone-to some other woman-ugh!
Miss Hanford was all icy calmness
as the trespasser. hanging up the re-
ceiver, uncoiled his tall length from
the trembling windsor chair and stood
erect. She gave him no time for FIRST
.word-there is no strategy in that.
