A few minutes later, Stuart was driv-
ing home in a happier frame of mind
than he had been for days-the cause
FOR which he would have found difficulty
In explaining. His job, long regarded
as a mere stepping g-stone to other and
better executive positions, had taken on
o brighter tinge, and for the first time
he realized that 1t might have its
pleasant features. Dwelliing on that
thought, he sat down when he reached
home and wrote n long letter to Eleanor.
Eleanor and he were not definitely
engaged. Yet between them existed that
tacit understanding that some day--not
TOO soon, from Eleanor's viewpoint
they were to be engaged. For Eleanor
was very gay and when the most attrac-
tive man of her acquaintance chose to
bury himself miles from anywhere, she
inwardly promised herself not to accept
his attentions exclusively until he had
reached what she was pleased to con-
slider a position more worthy Of his
abilities.

work whose compensation was admitted
to be small but whose ultimate oppor-
tunitles were big. Eleanor, living with a

day arrived when he faced the fact that
he was tacitly engaged to one girl while
he loved another. and that the raise and
the runabout which were to have been
the bait for Eleanor would now, pro-
yided he obtained them, have given him
backbone to ask Barbara to be his wife.
On the evening that the selectmen
were to hold their meeting, stuart wrote
a long letter to Eleanor, and because.
although no spoken word had passed be-
tween them, he felt himself bound. he
begged her to marry him. He did not
seal the letter. for on the postscript,
which he expected to write when he
learned the result of the meeting, he
knew that his fate hung.
Next morning the letter went through
the mail. and the postscript which
Stuart, had added ran as follows:
"P., S. I've been given the raise, but
not the runabout."

Blackbird, King Bird, and Blue jay to
see that everything was fair and square:
The voting was done In the council

There was a rush by the birds present
to get into line. These birds we're the

Peggys stump speech. They marched
through the opening between the bushes

feathers, gold feathers and all colored
feathers. Indeed It grew so very fast
that Peggy and Billy let out a shout OF

The shout was scarcely out Of their

flutter the crows swept down into the
