Well-he guessed he could.
Guessed he could do more than that.
She might drop in the next day

At the end of the week he had
the information The boat was
scheduled to end it's run in the mid
die of August or Whereabouts.
Chickie took the card with the
dates neatly written. She looked at
it quietly, her eyes glazed. She
smiled. you've been awfully kind
about this Without a glance
upward at the eager clerk she hur-
ried to the street.
A month longer-he would be back
he would rush to her. Could she
wait? Dared she wait? She went
stumbling down the street, growing
giddy with excitement and relief.
Not so long
Pictures of Mary and Lucy came
into her mind. She made calcula-
.tions-comparisons. She seized
nightly, with kind of madness,
on this new refuge from her fears.
Another /month-oh, let the dead
quiet Of his eyes reproach her; let
the cold pallor in his voice shout
that his love was gone. Let it! She
would be saved-she would be
freed
HE put the card under the
II scarf of her bureau. Each
~ day that passed was vic
tory. One night Jonathan raised her
chin upward: You don't eat enough
to keep e bird alive-does she
mother?"
Jennie smiled. "Girls don't today.
It's the fashion. They must be
toothpicksr"
Chickie risked boldly: mo tooth
pick here. Jennie darling! I'm quite
avor du pois!''
They laughed at her. This height
ened her sense of security.
Now when she hurried along
Washington street and other girls
regarded her with appraising envy
or the young men she knew stopped
for a friendly word she was over
joyed felt herself light-trim. Not
a soul in all the world suspected
her.
But by the middle of August she
was so nervous the slamming Of
door, the dropping Of a fork made
her start with terror. If any one
stared at her she was ready to cry.
Jennie said: You need a vacation;
you're getting pinched and tired"
YES! I'm going away soon. I
think I'll take a month"
The day the steamer was due in
San Francisco, Chickie sent a mes
sage. 1t was this: -"Come at once!
You must Another week will be too
late"
That week passed and another. She
became i'll with cold, blind despair.
She grew so pale that Janina wear
led of twitting her; gave up invit-
ing her to parties. With Chickie's
last refusal she turned scornfully:
Stella Wilson was yellow, Chickie!
But you've got a streak that runs
from your head to your feet! Let
any yapping pup crush you like
this. Why don't you come out
Of it?"
Chiclsie laughed Historically: Like
to know, wouldn't you? Ho!'
You're losing your looks, II you
must know It,"
With a kind of craziness Chickie
answered: "Ho-long as it's not my
figure, ole dear"
After this che feigned merriment;
she rouged; she took infinite pains
with her dress.
The last day Of August she went
to the steamship company. The af-
fable clerk came from behind the
counter to greet her. He said,

BRITAIN BACKS PLAN
FOR LEAGUE ARMY
F0Dors Military Force to En-
force Decisions of
Council.

Geneva-Great Britain consented In
principle to proposals of Belgium and
France for an agreement to establish
a League of Nations military force to
enforce the decisions of the league
council.
The agreement, which was prepared
by Foreign Minister Benes Of Czecho-
slovakia and which has the support of
the little entente" calls for the ex-
animation by the preparatory commit
tee arranging the disarmament con-
ference of the size, population, wealth,
geographical position, industrial re-
sources and size of the army and navy
lists of the proportionate military aid
they should undertake to give the
league, in case member is attacked,
are to be prepared.
The accord on the proposal was
reached in the name of England by
Foreign Minister Austen Chamberlain,
who came to Geneva and took over the
discussions with Belgium and France
from Sir Robert Cecil.
The fact that the Turks are an
nouncing that they will defy the
league If an award of the Mosul area
is made against them and for Great
Britain, and that the British fear an
armed invasion of the Mosul area If
the league decides in their favor, Is
believed to have had considerable
influence in obtaining British agree
ment on a matter which they have
until now consistently opposed.

GENERAL PROSPERITY
REPORTED BY MELLON
Prospects for Continued Good
Times in u. S. Reflected
In Statement.

Washington.-The general prosper
ity of the nation and prospects for con-
tinued good times was reflected in Sec
rotary of the Treasury Melons annual
report made public here.
On the strength of this outlook Sec
rotary Mellon urged continuation of
the rapid retirement of the public
debt and took sharp issue with those
who advocate extending debt retire
ment over a period of 81 years, dur
ing which time foreign debtors are
to pay their obligations to this coun-
try.
"The last year has been period
of genuine prosperity for practically
all classes" says Secretary Mellon.
Corporate profits are running higher
than for any year since 1919. Employ
ment has been good, prices compara-
lively stable, and trade on high
level as reflected in record car load
ings and bank debts to individual ac-
count. While production has been
high, it has BEEN as a rule well adj
| Justed to the rate of consumption and
has not resulted in general accumu-
latiOn of large stocks. The automotive
and building industries have con-
tinued to operate at high level, and
foreign trade has been increasing
Secretary Mellon reviews progress
made in the funding of debts and
points to an Improvement in world
conditions generally.
| Reviewing business conditions, Sec
rotary Mellon says the situation has
been highly satisfactory, the progress
of public economy and public debt re-
| tirement contributing to this situation.
He points out in this connection the
danger of making greater tax reduc-
ton than is justified by prospective
SURPRISES.
The report, however, contained a
note of warning not to allow undue
speculation in real estate or too I'M
limited buying on credit to undermine
the basically sound condition. The
| Florida land boom evidently is the
basis for part of the warning.
Secretary Mellon said there was a
tendency ''for the consuming public to
buy every conceivable commodity on
time and to mortgage future earnings,
but added that busin ess men were
conducting their affairs with caution
and restraint in order that prospect
| ty might not bring carelessness.
The secretary then turned to the
question of prohibition enforcement,
which devolves upon the department,
and said that he expects marked
advance n prohibition enforcement
as result of the recent reeorganiza-
ton.
