Ned Brander was the younger of two broth
ers; younger by two years than Bert. The re-
lationship between them as children was one
of careless authority and easy domination on
Bert's part, of passionate hero worship on
Ned's. When Bert went away to school, Ned
wandered in an empty world; when Bert
came home for vacations, Ned listened with
devotion to his tales. When Ned, two years
later, followed Bert to the same academy, he
found that Bert had made friend in school
named Hank Stellen. They roomed together;
and they admitted Ned to their society
For Ned that was fine year. For Bert too.
Bert, during his Christmas vacation, fell in
love; and in June he invited Alice May up to
his commencement. She was two years younger
than he, Just Ned's age. Ned's love for Bert
included her; and Ned Loyalty resented the
Hank Stellen.
Bert laughed at him. "Sure she does, kid"
he said, in tolerant affection. "Why shouldn't
she? Hanks fine fellow And don't worry.
He won't cut in on me. He added, amused at
the others heat: I'm darned sight more
worried about you, Ned. Alice thinks you're
cutev' And Ned blushed with anguish and
was silenced.
Bert and Hank went to college, to room to-
gether there. Alice May corresponded with
them both impartially during the next two or
three years.
The summer after their Junior year, and
after Neds first year of college, they all went
to Plattsburg A year later, when the United
States entered the War, they were commis-
stoned. A week before they we're all to sail for
France, Hank Stellen came to Bert with re-
quest which he put forward doubtfully. Il
want you to be my best man" he said.
Bert nodded, not looking at him. You and

and said heartily: "If l

wedding he got very drunk

efforts saved him from dis

al of Large Deficits Leg
islatureMu Makeup

The second deficiency bill of the
present Legislature, calling for an
appropriation of more than 100000
to make up deficits, mostly for
schools, brought the Territorial
House up into action this morning
and a hurried summons was issued
for A. E. Karnes, Commissioner of
Education, to come before the law
makers and explain how Gomez"
Several of the members voiced
themselves as highly unfavorable
to such large deficiency bills coming
up after appropriations had been
made by previous Legislature to
care for such matters.
andrew Nerland of the Fourth
Division, expressed what apparent
ly was some of the sentiment when
he said he saw nothing for the Ter
ritory to do but pay the bill, but
that legislation was needed to rec
tify a condition where such defic-
-n.ies are biennially arising.
Suggests Legislation
Most of us are business men and
we know that unforeseen circum-
stances often arise where cur ex-
penditure exceeds what we had
planned on and, of course, naturally
such a situation can arise in the
conduct of public business. How
ever, believe that legislation should
be enacted to curb such a practice
James v. Davis of the First was
on his feet Immediately with the
statement, that I agree with Mr..
Nerland as to business sometimes
running into unforeseen expenses
(the storm of last night destroyed
Mr.. Davis airplane hangar), but
1 still believe that when you give
a manager of your business so much
money to spend and he spends a
lot more, it is time to get a new
manager"
