 That night when Margret came home to supper her face was angry looking and flushed. She fairly slammed her handbag and the novel she was reading, down on the table in the sitting room. Well, what do you think hap pened to me today?" she asked. "Mr. Jack Wallack gave me notice that he wouldn't need me after next week. Of course. quit on the spot. Then he talked me into con- ing back for one more day to break in Jane Ayres."
 "Jane Ayres." Honey Lou re- peated. Why, that's the girl Angela said was vamping him! Well Do you suppose she is, Mar gret? DO you suppose Angela was right, after all? Do you suppose that's why he is giving her your job. and sending you away"
 Margret shrugged her shoulders. "I'm sure I don't know" she re- piled. But l do know this-that he didn't give me any reason for letting me go. Of course, l didn't give him a chance to say very much
 The next morning, while Margret sat at her desk, the door of the office burst open and in walked Honey Lou.
 The wind had whipped bright coral colors into her cheeks, but something besides the wind had made her eyes glow with an angry light.
 'I think I'll just take a look at this Miss Ayres." she said firmly to Margret, glancing around the big office.
 As she spoke. heavy dull look ing girl with rather d sweet ex- presson in her eyes, came into the room and sat down at the desk that had belonged to One-Armed Annie.

Perhaps, as he has found the way once, he will eoms again. He isn't likely to come over here during the daytime, but aerhaps he'll come just at dusk. I'll watch"
 So Farmer Browns Boy took care oo scatter some food outside the pen in which Mrs. Grouse was kept. Late that afternoon he went out and hid where he could watch. But he watched in vain. Mir. Grouse did not appear. The next morning, however. when Farmer Browns Boy went out to feed Mrs. Grouse he discovered that the food he had put out for Mr. Grouse had disap- peared. "He must have come just at daylight" thought Farmer Browns Boy.
 That day Farmer Browns Boy prepared hiding place by sticking bushes in the ground. He made it close to the pen of Mrs. Grouse, and in front of 1t he scattered buck wheat. He was up before daylight tho next morning and safely hidden by the time jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun began his daily climb up into the blue, blue sky. He didn't have long to wait then. He heard a low "quit, quit" from Mrs. Grouse in the pen; almost at once it was answered from outside. It was clear that MT. Grouse had not flown over, but had stolen over on his feet. You know, Grouse travel some distance some times without flying.
 Wonderfully handsome was MT. Grouse standing with his head stretched up, feathers on the top of his head raised, and the ruff on his neck out, as he looked and listened before venturing to eat his breakfast.

sudden antagoniSm. That each rec ognized the others interest in me l was certain, but while I knew that Hugh's sudden hatred of the other man was rooted 4n his jealous af- fectlon for me, l was not so sure that Philip Veritzens feeling was not simply one of wounded vanity that any woman of his employ would hesitate between an after noon of conference with him over her work and an engagement with any other man.
 For he knew I was hesitating be- tween the two calls. although if he had realized how strongly my secret lncllnations hade me decide in his favor and dismiss Hugh, ] think even his colossal vanity would have been gratified. But two equally strong reasons bade me keep my engagement with Hugh. One was that never could I undo the grievous hurt l would inflict upon my old friend by breaking it. The other, springing from my own self-respect told me that I must not yield my sense of justice and courtesy to Philip Nertzens demands.
 If 1t had been any ordinary en- gagement, one which affected only myself, I cheerfully would have relinquished it, but the most exact ing employer in the world except upon matter of grave importance would not expect an employe to do what Philip Veritzen patently ex- pected me to do. Something told me, moreover, that the changed con- ference was but a trumped-up thing Of the moment. a childish ruse on my employers part to find out what Hugh Grantland was to me.

The addition of one pint of milk q day 10 a diet which satisfied the appetite of growing boys converted an average gain of weight of 3.S5 pounds per boy into one of 6.9S pounds, and produced an average annual increase in height from 1.S4 inches to 2.G3 inches.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
A SONG OF CHEER.

Let our foes should they assemble,
Which we trust they'll never do
Learn to cover and to tremble
When our gallant ships they view,
For the gobs who man our navy
Are in trim for fighting now.
They are fed on beef and gravy
And lot of other chow
And although on no condition
Can they have their tot of rum
They have plenty of ambition
For they can chew gum.
Proudly now they flaunt their banners
For the wise and prudish owls
Who considered it bad manners
To have cuds inside the JowIs,
Now admit our tars were fitted
To uphold their countrys cause,
While they sedulously gritted
Wads of chicle in their jaws.
Loud the cannon now will thunder,
Swift the shot and shell will hum,
We've retrieved an ancient blunder;
Sailors can chew gum.
Watch the facial muscles ripple
On our first class fighting men,
Who, although denied their tipple,
Can, like lions in their den
In their hours of ease and languor
While their claws are In the sheath
Simulate exceeding anger
BY the gnashing of their teeth.

On our ships may never come,
There is still some consolation
Sailors can chew gum.
