Five men were looking intently at five cards each held in his hand. one looked aslkance at the others and inhaled deeply of his cigarette.
 "worth a dollar" Terry Mac Lean said with a show of nonchal- ance. He looked at his cards meditatively.
 Make 1t two" was challenged.
 "'Up two," came another raise.
 "Come again." said the fourth man.
 "say, what Is this, game of freeze-out or s0mething?" queried the fifth and last man at the card table.
 Tn or out" snapped Terry Mac Lean.
 'Not me, brother, I'm merely cu- rious from here on." He dropped his hand. The others breathed deeply and peered at their cards. The telephone rang.
 ''Nerts." muttered the man who had dropped his hand. He got to his feet and answered the tele- | phone.
 He listened. Then, Wrong number" he answered into the mouthpiece. He walked back to the table, where the bidding was starting over again. The phone rang again.
 This time he answered impa- tiently. T tell you it's the wrong number; there's no Priscilla here, no danes at all." He sighed, turn ing to the men at the table and grimaced. Gan you tie this egg He's trying to tell me there's a dame here by the name of Priscilla. I think he's screwy." Wait" Terry Mclean said as he slowly rose to his feet. Don't hang up; the call is for me-" He looked darkly at the men whose heads bobbed up like jack-in-the boxes.
 "You?" they said in unison. and Since when do you answer to the name of Priscilla? 2"
 Terry ignored the men and turn ed to the telephone. He took up the dangling receiver. "Pm Pris- cilla. Whats 1t to you?" he called into the mouthpiece.
 A hushed silence had fallen in the room. The men at the table were watching Terry's broad back, their eyes lifted thoughtfully.
 Terry's words fell like pellets of Ice. His voice, deadly calm, re- peated what he had heard over the phone: "He wants to see me? Wants me to have a good time? Fun?" Terry raised his voice a pitch higher in excitement and said:
 "Tell him for me I'll be right over, and thank him in advance for the kick he says I have coming" He crashed the receiver back on the hook. Turning like a wolf at bay, he faced his unsmiling friends, then rushed from the room.
 Priscilla. Priscilla" The name danced crazily before his eyes as

One night after a hard day m ! which the enemy rained death from the sky Terry was sitting against /. the table at the far end of the ward waiting for case to come from the operating room. When the i light flashed he hastened to an- swer. A cart was wheeled against a bed, and Terry grasped the limp form to boost him into bed. The man was badly wounded; only his face remained partially disclosed. His lips horribly swollen, blustered meaningly:
 70, Priscilla" were his words. "All prettied up and doing 8 girls work when you should be out there fighting. You're yellow, he screeked. Yellow" The name caused snickers from the beds around them, from the boys who were his friends. Terry heard, and for a split second want ed to tear that bandaged body limb from limb.
 Priscilla" The name cIung | to him through all time. The hatred between the two grew to a terrible intensity. Terry wanting | to fight 1t out; the bully, knowing Terry could never get the chance while he lay there so crippled, probed, jeered and nearly drove him frantic with his mockery. Terry lived only for the day when the bully would be well enough to fight, fight to the fin- ish. The bully leased him about 1 it. always promising him the i chance.
 Peace. The war was over. Terry was among the first to go back to the states. Before he left he stop ped at the bed that held his enemy- The man was still in plaster cast, would be for months, per- haps years. Hatred shone in Ter- ry's eyes as he reiterated the Ms- ual challenge. Remember, some | day I'll get a chance at you, and when I do 1t will be curtains. Terry turned and left, the hated name of Priscilla" waiting after him.
 The years rolled upon one an- other, five, ten, fifteen. eighteen. Terry shook his head violently and pushed on the accelerator. He drove to the address the man had given him over the telephone He stopped the car before a hostel- ry of mean repute and dashed in, wild-eyed.
 The place was full of police. A man hailed Terry from the far end of the bar. He motioned to Terry to follow. They went into room.
 The bully was there, alive, lying in Q pool of blood, breathing heavi- ly. the same cruel grin creasing his horribly distorted face. He held q card toward Terry. aged and fray- ed. Terry stared. advanced.
 The dying thing spoke. 1T told you I'd give you a chance at me. didn't I? But you didn't think it would be this way" He thrust the card into Terry's hand. He head fell back. ''Pris = The word died in his throat.
 Terry read the card the bully had thrust into his hand. It was one of his own, engraved.

Magazine Shows Profit.
The D. A. r. Magazine operated
last year at substantial profit, ac-
cording to the reports Of Mrs. Jean
J. Labat. chairman Of the Magazine
Committee, submitted today to the
congress.
81 think you will agree with me
that I have every reason to be well
pleased with the financial results Of
the last three years." said Mrs. Labat.
Due to the splendid cooperation of
every one connected with the maga-
zine we have gained in 1888, $5,759.48;
in 1884, $1,093.22, and in 1885. $10,-
1866. making in all, $17.639.26."
Mrs. Labat reiterated her recon-
mendation to place the magazine in
the hands of every member.
"The matter of financing the
project has seemed to be the chief
obstacle. With the payment of the
debt on Constitution Hall, more funds
will be available for the use of the
national society. Where could some
of that money be better invested
than in the development of our mag
azine.
"A consolidation of all D. A. r.
periodicals in a publication with de-
partments covering every activity of
our society and investment in equip
ment to distribute this publication
would make for economy in produc-
ton"
Mrs. Labat praised Miss Natalie
Sumner Lincoln, editor of the maga-
zine, for her work. Miss Lincoln, in
her report, declared the magazine had
been vastly improved" and hoped
that soon every department of the
D. A. R. would utilize its pages. The
financial reports, she said, demon
Strated that at last the D. A. R.
