Mrs. Chivvis suffered herself to be
persuaded. They visited the whole
salers and the jobbers and were well
received, having paid cash before
and, thanks to Mr.. Chivvis' suggestion,
having been astute enough to demand
discount for cash.
And now the motortrucks and the
delivery wagons and the cyclecars and
the messenger boys began to pour

How Negroes Go to Camp.

Twelve hundred colored drafted men
went down one winter night to Camp
Upton. They arrived in the dark about
eleven O'Clock. 1t was raining and
freezing. Many of the men were with
out overcoats. And they were soft,
having been walters, clerks and in 9TH
err indoor occupations. They arrived
in camp soaked to the skin, tired and
hungry. Were they cursing and
grumbling? No. They came in sing
ing:
'Good-by, Lenox Avenue; Hello, Ber-
lin" And their melodious negro
voices rang out in cheerful defiance to
the angry night. to the hard life before
them and to the possible death that
awaited them! That's the stuff that Is
in AmericanS-and it is war that is
bringing it out.-American Magazine.

So Bayard was coerced into having
his life saved by his enemy. 1t was
one thing, however, to consent to deal
with Wetherell, and another to devise
tolerable reconciliation.
"Well," Bayard sighed, ''beggars
can't be choosers. If I'd saved my
money shouldn't have to take Weth-
erell's money"
Bayard called up the president of
his company at the Office. His Grafton
made a huge success. Bayard began
to smile to himself, to wink at the
spectators, and finally to share in the
apparent rapture Of his distant ear
tO-ear.
The end of the matter was that when
Bayard left the telephone he was a
new man. He had cunningly raised
his chiefs hopes to the highest de-
gree, yet withheld the name of the
English agent. He explained that he
intended to take Leila's advice and
use his knowledge as a lever for his
own advancement and Clay's.
Clay and Bayard sat down to make
figures, and the talk grew too tech
nical for the women to endure. After
hearing the first music of Bayard and
Clay chanting in hundreds of thou
sands of dollars Daphne stole out I'M
needed and went up to her own room.
Mr.. Chivyis was sitting by a win
dow in mournful idleness. Mrs. Chiv-
Wis was stitching away at her en-
broidery. She was cheerful-for her.
She told Daphne that she had found
a market for her needlework; the
prices were poor but they were real.
She advised Daphne to get to work
with her. .E- 49,
Daphne had not the courage to say
that her brother and her betrothed
were about to become plutocrats. She
said only that she was very tired.
And there is no more exhaustfng drain
on the nerves than their response to
unexpected good news. 1t is more
fatignfng than bad. She was sur
prised and shocked. too, to find how
snobbish she was all of a sudden
about the petty earnings of Chivyis.

Round Robin.

Originally a round robin was a petit
ton or protest signed in such a way
that no name headed the list; that is
the signatures were usually placed in
circular form. The device is French
and the term a corruption of rond
(round) and ruban "a rihbon). 1t

government as means of making
known their grievances.
