said one day. II was passing the shop

said: Mrs. John Martin Lloyd. Are

there, and I guess I will! It's not
new, you know; she says 1T isn't the
real present, but it can be cut down

And so on and on. The other girls
listened, sympathized and rejoiced, but
it was not always easy.

Immediately they gathered by the
fauen rose vine, all talking and dis
putting at once. A light rope was tied;
an experimental tug broke It like

was bargaining with Chinese fruit

he was tall and fair, broad, but
With not an ounce Of extra weight,
with brown eyes always laughing, and
ready friendliness always in evi-
dence. Anne's heart gave throb Of
approval as she studied him; Alix
flushed furiously, scowled certain
boyish approval; Cherry had not come
down. -

echoed his question doubtfully. II

admitted.

laughing way, Il was going to say
that II 1t was peach, you are a can

'sOh, help" Alix calculated, with
look of elaborate scorn.
No, but where were you last

when he and Anne could speak unno-

face.

INV manner.
Martin did not answer, but turning
briskly toward the doctor, he devoted
himself to the business in hand.
They, were all deep in the first

selves should share the secret, some

and the interrupted current of life in
the brown bungalow supposedly found
Its old groove.
But nothing was the same. The doc
tor, In the first place, was more silent
and thoughtful than the girls had ever
seen him before. Anne and Alix knew
that he was not happy about Cherry's
plans, If the younger girl did not. With
A1ix only he talked Of the engage
ment, and she knew from his COM
ments, his doubtful manner, that he
felt 1t to be mistake. The ten years
difference between Cherry and Martin
distressed him; he spoke Of it again
and again.
Cherry was changed, too, and not
only in the expected and natural ways,
Alix thought. Her daily letter from
Martin, her new prospects, not only
increased her Importance in the other
girls eyes, but innocently inflated her
own self-confdence. She had prom
ised to keep the engagement "or un-
derstanding, or preference" pro-
found secret, but this was impossible.
First one intimate friend and then an
other was allowed to gasp and ex-
claim over the news. The time came
when Anne decided that 1t was not
decent" not to let Martins aunt know
Of 1t, when all these other people
knew. Finally came dinner to the
Norths', when Cherry's health was
drunk, and then the engagement pres
ents began to come in.
Her father only looked tenderly in
to the blue eyes and frightened his
big arm protectingly about the slender
young shoulders. But he was deeply
depressed. There was nothing to be
said against young Lloyd. It was only
unused the doctor, aghast-only
what was being done in the world
every day. But he was staggered by
the bright readiness with which all
of them-Cherry, Martin, the other
girls--accepted the stupendous fact
that Cherry was to be married.
She was quite frankly and delight
edly discussing trousseau now, too en-
| tirely absorbed in her own happiness

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS:

The Record has done nothing as
yet towards collection Of current sub
s,ription accounts. We have expect
ed collections to be little slower this
year on account Of the money stT1n-
gency. However the average ac-.
count owing US only amounts to .
couple of dollars. Hence, payment
of same will not make any material
difference in most cases. On the
other hand, the large number Of such
accounts due the Record makes a
pretty tidy sum outstanding. The
past few years have been pretty
"lcan" years, and the income from the
newly-secured legal printing will not
materialize for several weeks. We
therefore ask our subscribers to re-
member US if possible. We have not
sent out any statements generally as
yet, figuring on waiting until about
the first of the year. Perhaps cons
ditions will be little more favorable
by that time. !.
If you are in arrears and can do so
without material inconvenience, we
should appreciate your help between
now and the first of the year.

The tax collection was the greatest
in the history of the nation, he added,
while in prohibition enforcement the
bureau was faced with the creation
of an organization which embraced

taxes. The levy on distilled and fer

and miscellaneous and war excise
taxes brought in $SS3,863,S71. The re-
mainder of the revenue was from

Mr.. Williams noted the collection of
$13,117,78S from aliens who were de-
