DESERTER'S KNAPSAcK

W 40 just Ed6seu QeSeFteT
knapsack full OF rations.
A Union army. commanded by
Gen. U. S. Grant. was on the way
to attack Fort Donelson, Tenn. They
were weary when the command
came TO a halt The staf off,
GERS all agreed that their men needed
days rest.
The general listened to their COM
ments and then called his aide.
Bring me the deserter who came
in early today" he ordered. "We
will see what we can find out be-
fore we give any. final orders"
The deserter was brought In and
Grant took away his knapsack, rum
maging around in its contents while
he questioned the owner. Where
are you from" he asked. Fort
Donelson," replied the deserter.
"When were these rations issued?"
snapped the general. Yesterday
morning-we all got the same" an
swered the worried target of the
generals barrage.
Grant looked triumphantly at his
staff. Gentlemen" he said, "six
days rations are not issued TO men
in fort II they intend to stay there
and fight! This means a retreat
is planned. We will attack at
oncel"
They did, with the subsequent re-
suit that Fort Donelson, a key point
in the Confederate line of defense
In the West, fell into Union hands.

GRADUAL BLENDING OF POWERS INSURES BEST
 RESORT MAKEUP.
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA Service Staff Writer
 The makeup which models who parade Palm Beach fashions wear in the current style shows, indicates that cosmetics for the south are every bit as important as correct clothes.
 This is a year when just any dark suntan powder and rouge and lipstick with orange tones simply won't do. If you are to look your best in pastel prints, fllmy evening gowns and exotic beach costumes, you must pick makeup that har- monizes with each.
 At the Miami Biltmore fashion show in the Waldorf Astoria society girls who modelled the loveilest cos tunes for southern resort wear had on powder, rouge and lipstick which matched their skin tones, and nail polish that enhanced the outfit whether for beach or street.
 One girl-a brunettee in blue and orange cotton beach print - wore pale rouge and lipstick with faintly bluish lights and peach-cream pow der. Naturally, bluish rouge didn't match perfectly her natural skin tones, but it did match the shade her skin was when lights from the

INTEREST IN OTHERS IS KEY
 TO TRUE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
Ry Olive Roberts BaftOn

"Silent night, holy night" a clear voice sang over the radio and MT. Much was blue enough without having to hear the sweet sadness of another emotion.
 He turned it of irnpatiently, se- lected another cigar and sank slow ly into his over-upholstered chair.
 Stocks had gone up slowly until his holdings were up in the oxygen now. But his gain in Coagulated Gum had dropped of in the past few days ("holiday profit taking" the papers called it) and he had ex- pected to take that extra last seven points to give Hattie, now in the south, Christmas present. A brace let perhaps. He intended to put 1t in a box of red roses.
 The knocker sounded. Yama had gone home, so he answered the door himself. There stood shabby rnan-hat of, hesitant.
 How did you get in her? This apartment doesn't admit" began MT. Murch.
 T came up the service stairs" said the man gently. MT. Murch did not slam the door.
 A Desperate Father.
 "Well, what is it?" he asked.
 My girl. My little girl. She's been sick long time, sort of vast ing away. Some spine trouble, we think"
 "The hospital will look after her."
 "Yes, sir. So they said. But they couldn't take her then, and it's month now. They've too full. I guess they haven't enough to run on, anyway. I thought you might get some good doctor to come-who would be interested. Ours isn't, not very. He's busy and he says it's beyond him, anyway. used to be a clerk in one of your stores, sir"
 Have you work?"
 "No, sir, that is-I have little. But I'm not asking for help except for Molly. I just need-I think I need advice more than anything. Someone to be interested. Interest," ed. Interested" He triec desperately to keep his voice down.
 MT. Murch stood a minute. The door was still open. Down the hall he heard ". Holy Night, All Is Calm-ALL IS BRIGHT" He reach- ed for his hat and coat on impulse.
 I'm going home with you" he said.
 Working a Miracle.
 Prof Jim's house he went to the Children's Hospital, then to the Hospital for Crippled Children. "Someone to take an interest" Jim's frantic cry still crashed through his head. Interest. Interest. Not the kind he usually figured on.
 Hattie Murch opened her box of roses at Christmas. In 1t was a re- cepit for five excellent bonds to the two hospitals. Hattie said, At last, Bill Much. dear Bill Murch. you've come to your senses. But this is Q miracle. I never could work with you. I'd rather have it than anything in the world"
