The Y. NJ. c. A. and the America n
Legion teams will meet tonight at

be corker.
The Y. NJ. e. A. team was not Or
ganized in its first start but a likely
looking lineup has been picked now
and the Legion outfit will have its
hands full in holding the team down.

about her.
THE night we started down here
she took a taxi in a pouring rair
and got to the train to say goodbye
Just as we were pulling out. She
was dressed In yellow frock about
the shade OF the one you have on
and as she stepped out, she fell In
the gutter and was spattered from
head to foot.
She flung her arms Unexpectedly
about my neck as I raised her, and
when / got on the car she had
! transferred most of the mud to my
| face and clothing. and we were
funny-looking sights, I can tell
YOU"
Phil stopped, expecting Marta to
at least smile: but instead she said:
Poor girl. 1t was bad enough to
say goodbye to you without doing
it in tina. ridiculous manner"
Phillip had new idea.
Marta, you haven't babe good
bye to anyone lately, have you?"
NO, but / think I know how it
would feel to do So"
Presently he found himself telling
| Marta about many of his and Nat
lees childish episodes, especially
the one in which she had to get in
| the window because her father had
locked her out.
He was so engrossed in this. that
he almost bumped into Lieutenant
Andrews.
He'll never believe I did not do
that on purpose" said Phil, even
| if l would be allowed to explain -
which l will not be. Sc. Marta II
you do not see me for the next
week or two. you may know / am

: we would get Phillip to the camp in
time" said Mrs. Tennis. when they
next came up to where she was
seated
Phillip had thought Of this. too,
but he had determined that he
would not suggest it.
You'll come again soon, won't
you?" Marta invited.
You bet / will-iust as soon as
I can"
He scurried to his tent and found
the false man had not been dis
turbed. and pulling it out he slid
into its place.
He could not go to sleep immedi-
ately, but lay there thinking OF
Marta and her mother. 1t was good
TO have this little glimpse Of what
he had known at home. He asked
himself when he would have an
other.
He wondered if the girl" he had
met last night had missed him. 1t
was rather strange that on one
/ night he had met woman who had
/ drawn from him his experience with
Lyra billiard, and on the next he
| had talked to another OF Malice
| Jones. For the first time in his life
| he saw that man was totally diff

! Dear Malice. Even with her face
all plastered with mud and tears, as
| he saw her last, he remembered her
as beautiful.
The next morning, as he expected

him as though he had not a care

Philip Verit1en Shows Himself A
Lord IN His Own Realm.

Lord IN His Own Realm.
There Is crisp authority in Philip
Veritzen's slightest direction to his
subordinates which fascinates me
because he also manages to invest
each order with courtesy. But l
cannot imagine anyone disobeying
an order of his or delaying one.
Those who do indulge their mag
nations in that direction and carry
out their visions concretely always
find themselves promptly separated
from the great organization which
he heads.
So I was not surprised to see
Otto, the great mans chauffeur, ap-
pear at the door OF his private Of
fice in so short time after Mr..
Eeritzen had sent for him as to sug-
gest that the employee who had
been given the order to summon

his zeal for haste.

preliminaries.

World war finds Phillip Wynn,

affair. Before this, he and Natles
Jones. who was the daughter Of the
Tracys' milkman, had had childish
engagement which was objected te
by both Mr.. Jones and Mrs. Tracy.
Phillip becomes interested in Lyra
billiard, an old friend of his moth
er's. He takes her to luncheon and
shortly finds he is falling in love.
On midnight ride Lyra con-
fesses her love to Phillip. The whole
affair, however, sinks into nothing

lee goes to the depot to see them
off and in her anxiety to see Phil
she ignores Rod entirely This near
ly breaks his heart.

has most unusual experience with
nameless girl. He gets detailed to
kitchen police and his passes re-

CHAPTER xxx
Phillip Disobeys Orders
Phillip gave a sigh of pleasure
as he walked into the big reception
hail at the country club. He had
not realized before how he had
missed the sight Of pretty girls. the
lights and the gayety of the home
atmosphere.
Seating Mrs. Tennis near some of
her friends. he swung Marta into a
foX-trot.
Then he forgot that his o. DIS
were ugly and ill-fitting - that his
shoes were big and clumsy-that he
was doing one of the mental things
IN the army. and simply reyeled in
the fact that the floor was like
glass, the music fine, and he was
dancing with the prettiest girl in
tlic IooIl.
There is Lieutenant Andrews,
Phil" whispered Marta. He is
studiously high hating me-"
"Of course he will my dear girl"
answered Phil. You know that &C
cording to an unwrltten law, ! have
no right to be here. This is purely
for officers
We'll, I can't help about unwrit-
ten laws. ] imagine however, that
If this were not wartime, Lieutenant
Andrews might not be as welcome
here as you"
What dear little partisan you
are"
But Phil, don't want you to get
into trouble through me-"
Don't worry. I like trouble
That man can't worry me much"
Phil wondered what Marta would
do if she knew that he was away
from camp when he was supposed
to be confined to quarters, but say
ing to himself, Il am not going to
let that cad think ! am afraid of
him." he kept on dancing with Mar
ia or talking with her and her
mother. as though he were major
at least.
During one of the times when
they were sitting out" and Mrs.
Tennis was asking more questions
about his mother he happened to
mention the party that his mother
had recently given. He spoke of
both Rod and Natlee. and when
they We're dancing again Marta
asked abruptly: Tell me about
Malice, Phil"
"Oh, she was a girl was engaged

FRENCH R1RTHpAY CAKE

II takes the French to make the
simplest kind of cake seem de-
lightful for the 7-year-old's birth
day. This recipee is from a shrewd
old French woman:
Michel was to have a birthday
and there must be cake with
seven candles. Madame baked a
plain cake about two inches thick
in a round pan. When cold, she
sliced it into two layers. Between
them she placed filling an inch
thick of prunes and apricots. To
make this filling the prunes are
soaked, cooked, stoned and cut into
small pieces to make one cup. 1t
is better to add little or no sugar,
since the filling should be slightly
tart. The dried apricots are also
soaked and cooked. then put through
sieve to make a thick PURGE. Mix
A-cup apricot puree with the
prunes for the filling.
"Over the whole cake Madame
spread a pie meringue-less rich
than a frosting-into which she had
folded A-cup of the apricot PURGE.
You can use less If you desire. The
whole cake is placed in the oven
until delicately brown, then chilled
and served with all the glory of its
candles"
