The Custodian was fortunate in securing
the services of Rev. l. G. Harper, of Hattiesburg
Miss. as Superintendent of South Mississippi
This implies organization and recommending
agents to put over our program in South Mis-
sissippi. Rev. Harper is Presbyterian pastor
with wide influence and 100 per cent compe-
tent for the task. He and his beloved wife were
instrumental in the victory won at Hattiesburg
by the Custodian when SO members were added

tons to set sege to the town and adjoining
neighborhood.

to be guided into a way of

Lorna flared up at this.

left the room.
There was nothing con-
elusive about Mr.. Cummings

After all, neither girl knew
him well enough to cause an

that same atmosphere Of
combativeness was all too
apparent.
And when Walter left,
finally, Lorna went into the
bedroom and began packing
her belongings. Mary fol-

said.
Lorna declined to answer.

said Lorna coldly. She left
the room, allowing the door
to close with no little force.
That night and the fol-
lowing day Lorna grew more
and more cold toward
Mary. She had little to say
as she assisted Mary pre-

that afternoon, quite a bit

much preoccupied with her
own thoughts.
Mary, on the other hand,

did her best to get things
back on a basis of AMIGA

It was led by Soapy who

the soldiers bore bottles of

They surrounded the be-

to make himself heard.

Lorna replied shortly. She

more, but resolutely checked

Yesterday they were play
ing with other boys in the
yard. A playmate tripped
and fell down. Ralph stood
still and laughed. The play
mate looked so funny when
he rolled over in a heap!
Hal ran to the boy, say
ing: "Gee, didju hurt yuh-
self"
Hal Immediately identified
himself with the unfortunate
lad, while Ralph only acted
from HIS own point of view.
He didn't get hurt, and the
other boy looked funny.
Ralph tied a tin can to
the puppy's tail during va
cation to see what would
happen. He enjoyed see

tears streaming down his
face, removed the can and

But it was not to be so
with Mary present. Even
Cummings, who, with all his
masculine good looks had a
degree of intelligence and
no little sensitiveness, could
feel that there was a def

His subconscious was we'll

And when he left it was
Mary and not Lorna who

Mary, why you found it so

THERE is the type of
woman who will make
sacrifices for her man,
and there is the type who
will not. Mary Harding,
dark haired, % and sophisti-
Gated, belonged to the latter
class, while the statuesque
Lorna Billings, still naive
and illusioned, though three
years older, belonged to the
former.
The girls were close
friends, as opposites in char
acter are sometimes likely to
be. They lived together on
the border of the village,
sharing a small apartment
which they had painstak-
ingly furnished with an eye
more to economy than lux
ury.
They lived in relative
peace and quiet, because
each was frank with the
other. Mary knew, for in
stance, that Lorna would 60
to the ends of the earth for
the man she loved, and Lorna
likewise was cognizant of
Mary's viewpoint, which
might better be left unsaid.
While such harmony, espe-
cially between women, is q
rarity, to the same degree it
is unstable. Certain things
are inevitable-such, for in
stance, as men Themselves
and then matters are sure to
assume quite a different
aspect.
Thus we come to the time
when the inevitable occurred
in the lives of Mary and
Lorna.
Lorna met Walter Cum
mings at a tea. Walter was
frankly attracted by her
exotic beauty, and at the ex-
pense of incurring the dis
pleasure of his hostess, he
accomplished what m any
men would have been salts
fled to do, and left with. an
invitation to visit Lorna at
her home.
And when Walter hied
himself to the little apart
ment on West Thirteenth
Street a few days later, it
was quite by accident-in-
tentionally by accident-that
Mary Harding also was
present.
1t is more than likely that
if Lorna and Walter had
been alone, as Lorna had
planned-quite according to
the modern precepts Of the
territory below Fourteenth

would have spent a rather
casual few hours together

Mary. II won't interfere
all I ask is an hour alone
with him myself and may
the best girl win"
They shook hands on it
and, although each was a
little nervous, the old COM
bativeness was gone.
Lorna had her hour with
Walter; an hour chosen by
herself in the dim twilight
just such an hour as would
make any man speak his
heart to the girl he loved.
And Walter did speak
he spoke with feeling-and
when he had finished his
cheeks were a little flushed
and his voice a bit shaky.
Lorna was white; she had
no idea of letting him even
surmise that she was in
terested in him. "Of course
we're good friends" she
said smiling, ave always

Mary"

She was flung between
two moods-at one moment
sunk in tears at the thought
Of Stag going away, an
ocean separating them. In
the next. all that mattered
was the glorious fact that
he loved her. It was a gold
en- wine, tingling through
her veins.
She avoided him all the
rest of that day, afraid to
trust herself with him alone.
But she haunted the wind
ows as he marched into the
yard after drill.
Ehe saw him leaning
against the we'll curb, talk
ing to Soapy and at the
sight of the tall khaki-col-
ored figure, her heart leaped
wildly.
She swooped down on
little Sylvester, snatched
him up, covering his aston
ished face with kisses.
"Ah, Sweet 3" " Sweet
80" Sweet -" I could
eat you up with love-" she
cried. But it was not of
beady-eyed little Sylvestre
she thought.
In the middle of the next
morning she was startled
by a cheer rising from the
yard. A cheer, taken up by
dozens of voices until it
grew to a roar.
Marianne flew to the
door, her hand pressed hard
on her heart.
"What ave happen!" she
cried to a lanky young
corporal near the porch.

The yard was empty. This

She was wringing her.
hands. Whimpering. Tears
rolling unheeded down her
face while baby Sylvestre
stared up at her in amaze
ment.
The village went crazy.
The whole battalion had
been paid and Saint Waller
staggered under the celebra-
tion.
Peddlers with carts set up
shop along the curbs, selling
everything from lace collars
and crepe de chine under
wear to jugs of wine.
In the cafe, two poker
games and a dice game had
started. The hurdy- -gurdy
was hysterical from over
work. Children gathered in
fascinated knots and watched
closely-knit khaki figures
sing Hinky Dinky Farley
Voo-which all the children
firmly believed to be the
American National Anthem.
From a lively dice game,
played in the middle Of the
sidewalk, Soapy rose and
busted his knees.
"Thunder " Can't

this crap-game, anyway.
