another. "The barn was stored with
grain and machinery and the insur-
ance ran out last week."
Norman was crushed with sense
Of his culpability. He felt like flying
from home, town and all the peo-
pie he had ever known. He skulked
behind a hedge as a group of girls
came along They were discussing
the fire so excitedly that they paid no
attention to q lone member of their
group trailing on behind them. Nor
man noticed her, however. She was
Milly Daniels. He, startled her by
stepping directly in her path.
"Just linger for a moment, will you,
,MilIy?" he spoke under high agita-
ton, "or I'll walk with you bit. I'm
in terrible trouble, and I'm going to
leave town for good" and Norman re-
cited the entire story of the evening.
There's only one way out, don't you
see it, MillyT' he said. Il don't dare
to face Farmer Logan; I'm going away
to make something Of myself, and the
day l have got the money to make it
square with Mr.. Logan I'm coming
back. And Milly, dear, you have been
my truest friend and have always
stood by me. Will you try to think
of me while I'm gone, will you-will
you wait for me? For l shall never
love anybody but you"
Five years went by. Not word
had been heard from the truant son.
Joel Hardy had forbidden even the
mention of his name in the home.
Mrs. Hardy, half heartbrCken, repined
in silence. MiTly Daniels became an
orphan, and when Mrs. Hardy needed

the town has heard Of it, and the
BOYS taunt me and the girls twit me.
Not that l care for any Of them ex-
cept Milly Daniels, and she's true
blue and stands by me, and l won't
have her humbled and shamed. I'm
going to spend this New Years eve
with the crowd, and I'll be home to
breakfast"
'If you don't report here by ten
O'Clock I'll send the town marshal
after you," pronounced his father, with
fire in lis eye.
Norman marched out of the house,
hung around downtown until eight
o'clock, and then repaired to the
agreed-on rendezvous Of the crowd, an
old buggy shed attached to a great
barn owned by Farmer Logan. He
felt uneasy, stubborn and nettled. Re-
Gently he had been dared by his com
panions to smoke cigarette. DE

sentiment when the signal cry OF his
comrades echoed forth. Carelessly
throwing the lighted cigarette into a
corner of the shed, he bounded out
and for over an hour forgot all save
the excitement of the moment. The
unruly coterie rolled giant SNOWFALL
and let it slide down the hill leading
to the town common; they got up into
the town hall tower and rang its bell.
In the midst of setting loose a drove
of cattle from a live stock enclosure
they were attracted by the dash and
rush Of the village fire cart, making
for a vivid, spreading glare.
"Why, it's Farmer Logan's place!"
shouted chorus Of excited voices, and
Norman Hardy's heart stood still. he
recalled the cigarette and the Uttered
woodshed. He stood dumb and
scared. The flames completely en-
quilted the great frame barn. Norman

with an appalling sense Of guilt. His
emotions were doubly intensified when
he heard some one say:

Curu.
1t was a few minutes after midnight,
five years to a day since Norman
Hardy had gone forth into the world
to seek his fortune. Milly had pleaded
to sit up and watch the old year out
and the new year in. All three OF
the family, though in different ways
were thinking of the boy who had run
away from home. The bells had just
finished resonant chime when the
knob of the outside door turned.
There stepped into the room hronzed,
stalwart young man, at q sight OF
whom Joel Hardy gasped incredu-
lously, his wife uttered a joyous
scream. and Milly stood breathless and
futtering.
II waited till was sure the final
hour of discipline and the strap was

and a sturdy hand reached out.
"Milly," and the young girl swayed

Norman. "I've kept my word. hear
you are struggling with a two-thou-
sand-dollar mortgage, father; can
pay it off and loan you as much more
if you need it. Milly, dear, am l well
come? have come to keep my
promise true"
Joel Hardy left the room. He re-
turned with the strap that had been
so familiar to his son. Taking out his
pocketknife, the old man proceeded tc
cut the strap to pieces and flung them
into the blazing CRATE.
"You've cheated me out Of severaI
years, my son." he observed, "but

bors. That's me-" and he looked it
and acted it out until Norman fancied
he had been placed in the world simply
to become the butt and victim Of rigid
rules.
When Norman's tenth birthday was
only eight hours distant, his father
gave the order, sternly spoken: you

his father simply viewed him specu-

usual time. He was awakened to find
his father roughly pulling at bis arm.
"Get up, Norman, and come down
to the kitchen" said Joel Hardy !;
'you needn't dress"
Norman arose, rubbed his eyes. and
followed his father downstairs. There

Joel Hardy produced short, thick

MACTIDER AND PRESIDENT HARDING AGREE

National Commander Hanford Mac Nider and group of legionnaires called on President Harding at the White House this week. The com mandcr came away from the inter view with a broad smile and ex- plained himself as highly pleased with the reception given the Legion naires and the hearing accorded him by President Harding.
 Speaking of the interview. Com rade John T. Taylor said: '@The President authorized us to say there would be no delay--that he would sign a bonus bilL''
 The Legionnaires stated that the interview was a pleasant one and was taken up almost entirely with an explanation by MT. Harding as to why he is with the American Legion on the adjusted compensation ques- tion and why he favors the measure. He reminds the Legionnaires that when he was candidate for the pri- maries in 1920 he had put himself on record as favoring the measure. He emphasized that his position when the question was before Congress last July, was not that of an oppo- nent, but that he felt that the time was not ripe then for the passage of the bill.
 We simply run down every once in awhile to reiterate our position, '' Commander MacNider said.

 < kzTe never met person opposed sss adjusted compensation who had x thorough understanding of the bill zow before Congress.
 With hundreds of thousands of former service men walking the streets looking for work, it is not in the prerogative of anyone to say what should be done with them, but it Is the duty of the country to give to them what they have been denied. Adjusted compensation does not and cannot pay for patriotism and service. No, it is an insult to sug- gest it.
 You have heard lot of the ''bonus- lately, particularly since a great wave of propaganda from the trenches of selfish interests has swept across the country, but let me tell you that the country is for ad- justed compensation.
 True there is a cash payment clause in the bill Our opponents say this would make spendthrifts of serv- ice men, but in reality those who choose the cash payment will receive $50 every thg ee months. It is ridicu- ious to say that $50 every three months to men who are walking the streets looking for work will make them spendthrffts

LEGION RECRUITING GOOD

Comrade J. K. Kerr turned in appli- Ncations for and issued eleven mem bership cards Of Birmingham Post No. 1 of American Legion this week. Comrade Kerr has been one of the ivest and most resourceful legion naires in Birmingham since the founding of the local post. He won the prize offered for securing the greatest number of applications for membership in 1920. The prize was a gold watch fob with the America n Legion emblem embossed in blue and gold.
 In 1921 Comrade Kerr won the Olds- mobile which was given away at the time of the Legion Boxing carnival at Rickwood Park last October.
