animals have been playing tricks on us.
But they were good tricks" brayed
Ralky Sam 'I saw these scamps
cheating. SO / got the birds to help me
and we cheated a bit, too"
I'VE cheated only in fun. We were
going to tell Billy" exclaimed Lonesome
Bear.
"And we cheated in fun, too. and It
was very. very funny! Hee-haw Hee"
haw! Hee-hawi" laughed Balky Sam.
"And the funniest thing of all was when
we animals dragged Peggy and Billy
and Pat into the water and gave 'em
bath. Hee-haw Hee-haw! Hee-
haw!"
mo, I think the funniest thing was
when we birds made you think 1t was
raining fish. Twitter! Twitter! Twit.
ter !" laughed General Swallow.
But who caught the fish?" asked
Peggy.
"Oh, all tho other Kingfishers and
Herons and Bitterns" answered General
Swallow. "And when these scamps stole
your fish we stole their fish, so you are
even on that score"
"Are you all bewitched7 Are you
talking to these birds and animalsf"
stammered Pat, looking at Peggy and
Billy in open -mouthed wonder.
Sure, we're talking to them," said
Peggy. I'VE haven't time to explain
now, for we must get these fish to your
house"
"Why, we can't eat all those fish"
stammered Pat.
But you can sell them" answered
Billy. And then you'll have so much
money that your mother and sisters will
not have to worry about food for a
long. long time"
So they gathered the fish up, and the
birds helped carry them to Pats home.
How they got there Peggy didn't know,
| for all of a sudden she found herself
growing very sleepy and then-there
she was back home snoozing comfortably
in her own bed.

She stopped short at the perfectly au-
dible !"Joash"' that issued from the
pursed-up lips of the other grandmother
who evidently felt. that the baby was
much her grandson as he was Selma
Merrill's, and she didn't intend to be
ignored
The uncomfortable silence that fol-
lowed in the wake of that remark was
broken by a CHEEKY whistle outside, and
the sudden entrance of Tom Armstrong,
a lifelong chum of John Merrill He
had just returned from overseas, where
he had won both praise and medals for
his bravery under fire. He received a
warm welcome from all, and soon
enthusiastic account of his experienced

was forgotten for the time being.
"Of course you couldn't go with so
many dependent on you. john" he said
but ! wish you could have seen our
boys in action! Why" he exulted ut
was perfectly wonderful.
And then to see the way they tried
to help each other-always praising the
other fellow, without a trace of jeal-
ousy" Here Grandmother Merrill shot
a shamefaced glance at Grandmother
Griffith, who returned it with a slckly
smile of understanding as the young
man went on: II never met single
chap but who was ready to give a COM
rade credit for every brave act while
done.
And the officers-well, don't talk!
They were more like big Brothers to
their men than anything else, and there
wasn't man under either Edwards or
Logan but would have gone through
any danger for them. And If l ever

Lena Merrill interrupted him by
springing to her feet and clapping her
hands, as she cried:
John? Logan Edwards Merrill--that Is
the baby's name. You haven't seen the
baby, Tom Come here - and she led
the way TO the white crib. And the
grandmothers followed, nodding
pleased approval, and so did the young
father and likewise Tom Armstrong,
and so, in the twinkling of an eye, as il
! were, the heir to the house of Merrill
was named-and without a dissenting
voice from the n-laws And moreover.
Tom Armstrong received a vote OF
thanks for cutting the. Gordian knot.

MARIAN VAN NESS detached her
AVI self from the stream Of people
moving slowly up Seventeenth street
and raced to the opposite curb, only
arriving in time, however, to see the
Mount Pleasant car sail serenely by.
A second, third, and fourth car, their
passengers clinging like ants to steps
and even tenders, rounded the curve
without stopping and continued up
Connecticut avenue. In despair Mar
ian turned about and tuCking the
papers she carried more securely un-
der her arm, set out for the Burnham
house. She had walked but a third
of the way when a man fell into step
with her and looking around she found
Rene La Montague by her side.
"Ah! Captain, good afternoon she
exclaimed. Did you receive my tele-
phone message"
But yes, madame, and I hurried
most quickly to the State Department
only to find you gone" The French
officer reached over and took her small
bundle of papers. Permit that I carry
them," he said with quick Courtly
bow. and taking possession Of the
papers he slipped them inside the
pocket of his blue tunic. Tell me,
madame, you have seen Evelyn" and
Marian read in his eyes the passion
even Evelyn's name kindled in the
gallant officer and her heart throbbed
with the quick and ready sympathy
every woman feels for true romance.
"Yes. I am on my way to join
Evelyn now" she answered. Frankly.
Captain, what has estranged you two?"
La Montagne's expression grew
Troubled. "It is not Of my making
he protested. MY letters remain un-
answered"
Are you quite certain, Captain,
that Evelyn received your letters?"
But yes" and as she would have
spoken he added rapidly: when I
cabled that I would arrive shortly in
this country, having been detailed
here to instruct in the aviation, and
received no reply I questioned in my
mind if Evelyn had received it. Get

PHILADELPHIA. July 2G.-The wish
of Abner Lincoin's friends oft cx-

years old. has come true. the former
having just celebrated the occasion OF
that many years in the world.
Mr.. Lincoln. who is still going
strong. has asked his friends to raise
the ante ten years more now tina. he
has passed the century mark
Congratulatory letters and birthday
cards from China and Korea were re-
ce!ved by the aged man on his natal
day. while friends here literally show
cred him with flowers
Asked for a recipe for such Il long
life, Mr. Lincoln replied that they were
activity, optimism and temperance.
with the accent on the last qualitica-
,ion. Liquor never did good for any
one except as medicine" declared the
centenarian, and it has been the
cause OF great deal OF harm"
Lincoln thinks that though prohibit
tlon wont come in a day, it VIII ar
rive eventually. Awaiting that happy
time ne is still tabooing tobacco and
alcohol as he has done all his life, and
Is eating his three squares a day
Though not directly related to Abra-
ham Lincoln, some connection exists

fought in the Revolution and his
grandsons are veterans of the late
war. He was born in New England.

These were some of the radical

IF the things are radical. then they

In no other country is there 20 be
