From the earliest moment. Nora was
deep In canteen work, bandage making
and all else that her pulsng patriotism
could find to do. With her there were
no conflicting interests: nothing to be
weighed and measured In the balance
no leash OF self-interest holding In
check her gallant impulse.
And when she first learned, quite by
accident, OF the conflict still In full
sway with Mason, her feeling was I'M
disguised disgust. They hid known each
other slightly as fellow employees OF the
same big Arm. Roger had noted each
time he passed her the charms which
Nora's Indifferent manner always served
to heighten.

that Mr.. Mason, OF the cottonseed oil
department. was handsome and ap
parently quite clever young man. But
that was all.
Perhaps, in due course the romance
would have ripened In any case. But
fate, impatient OF delay. decided that
no more time was to be wasted. SO
she managed that Nora sanderson and
Roger Mason should happen to be alone

The two watched In silence, broken

Then realizing the young mans pres

but holding firm until she was quite
sure that he could read the wonder and
contempt within her own. Then she
turned and without word made her
way to her inner office. Roger made his
way out also. 1t was not the FIRST
time that year a pair OF lovely eyes had
looked surprise and disappointment inAo
HIS own. But these last were the eyes
OF Nora Sanderson and. therefore. eyes
that burnt and thrilled and burned
again. In memory,

Citizens living in the east hill

The west end service is apparently

down by the city officials on the
