Roses pretty feet. She was listen
ing with a rapt air to Amos Har-
low, who was speaking.
Tommy, all eyes, ears and ques-
tons, catapulted himself into the
conversation.
Where's your engagement ring,
Miss Rose?" he cried.
Amos involuntarily glanced down
at the white ringless hands and
looked away.
After that the delightful conversa-
ton between Amos and Rose Ian
guished.
Engaged" grumbled Amos that
night as he went to bed.
Rose went to sleep listening to his
voice rumbling along, broken by
long silences, and there was a love-
ly smile on her lips.
But morning brought disaster.
When small Tommy raced over to
bear the news that Uncle Amos had
gone to town that morning, all the
light went out of her eyes.
A MOS HARLOW had run away
from the girl next door. It was
the first time in his strong, busy
life that he had ever turned his
back on danger. "But a woman is
different" he unused that first eve
ming at his deserted club, "no use
in deliberately falling in love with a
girl when her heart is set on an
other man."
Another man wandered into the
smoking room and secuted among
the empty chairs looking for a pos
sible acquaintance. At last he dis
covered Amos and was gloomily
pleased.
"Ah, Harlow, is it you? Haven't
seen you in a year. How're things
with your" George Weed dropped
into the adjoining chair and sum-
moned waiter.
Amos smiled affably as he smoked
and listened to George w e d.
George had been classmate of his
and was the most fearful bore
a good-looking boy - but wishy-
washyl The handsome, gloomy
youth was soon confiding the story
of his life-he had been turned down
by a girl who had accepted him
and after one week had broken it
off declaring that she had made a
mistake, she didn't love him, never
could, ETC., etd., etc. Suddenly Amos
arose in the midst of it and shot out
of the room. He was heard in the
lobby shouting for a taxi, and half
an hour later if anyone had followed
his movements he might have been
seen driving his own car along the
Post road trying to think of some
rational excuse to offer his sister
and her husband for his sudden re-
appearance.

TOMMY ATKINS was calling

was five years, strong and hearty,
and the lady was sweet and twenty,
and pretty as her name, Rose.
She was disconsolately bouncing a
tennis ball on her racket when
Tommy wandered along, a new clay
pipe dangling from his rosy lips.
"Oh, Tommy, boy, come and kiss
me-" called Rose invitingly.
When the kiss had been bestowed
with several encores, Tommy At
kins cooked a wicked eye at the la
dy. "Do I smell very terbackee-
KEEP" he asked carelessly.
Horribly" sighed Rose, then she
added: "Who are you this after
noon, dear?"
"Uncle Amos"
"Uncle Amos?" repeated Rose
perplexedly, for the Atkinses were
new neighbors and she had not
heard Tommy's parents speak of
such a relative.
HE is my uncle-and fathers I'M

The Foe Within

In our battle for justice we must
realize that there are thousands of
traitors within our own ranks-men
and women who, having mortgaged
their own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anxious to
sell out our group for mess of pot
tage. In myraids of instances they
have already done so. Many of these
beings are like moles which burrow
beneath the surface, and they have
by their per1icious activities placed
the entire structure of our rights in
peril. The vilest, cruelest, most bru-
tai, craftiest, most venomous, and
most cold-blooded outspoken enemy
is far less dangerous than the vile,
crafty, Sinking, snake-like burrow-
ing foe within!

"It's a man." declared Heckfre,
otherwise Florence Willis. 81 can

Fright, first guess. Where'd you

'No, it came from the folks back
home. Today's my birthday, you
know, and you needn't think be-
cause I'm the boss stenog and he
gives me lift in his car once in
a while that he's ready to meet me

"But tell us about your man,
Toady," said Alice Williams as she
removed a chocolate-covered nut
and passed the box.
"N-nothin' to tell. That tow

take Clara Carter to the dance to-
morrow night, and after I'd given
him a strong hint I'd like to go too.
And to think I made him six

"Girls, I have an idea," Heckfre
said suddenly.

HECKFIRE jumped into the

cause the workmen don't interest us.
Now, there are no other men to go

spoiled"
"A-b-s-o-[u-t-e-l-yl" agreed Alice

a week and teach us the latest steps.
Then the mend be wild to learn 'em

Great"
"We'n let 'em see we can do with
out 'em!" said Alice excitedly.
"When does this boycott go into
effect?" asked Louise Fostor.
ooh, we won't make anyone break
a date, but they mustn't make any
more"
The girls had not been so excited
nor so interested in months. Heck
fire called up Newtonville the next
morning and engaged the various
instructors. She succeeded in get
ting the gym trainer to come that
evening and all the girls who were
not invited to the dance spent hap
py hour going through the exercises
suggested by the teacher and in
listening to plans for a basketball
team, track team and hiking club.
Social activities quoted down the
first few days after the dance, and
it was nearly week before any re-
port was made.
Wednesday evening Maria burst
into the room where the girls were
assembled. e
"Say, folks" she laughed, "Jim-
my Langston asked me to go to the
show tonight and I could just feel
his amazement when / turned him
down. He couldn't believe his ears"
"He called me up at lunch time

night"
Z OR nearly three months the girls
kept their pact. They worked at
their orchestra-studied the latest
steps in dancing-took gym and
were altogether busy and happy.
Then they decided to give a dance
and invite the men.
It was a tremendous success, but
not so much dancing was done as
might be supposed, for many of the
couples wandered out onto the cool
veranda and down the moonlit path
to the lake.
Hang it all, Hecky DEAR" said
Mr.. Dayton, the boss, II suppose
I'll have to marry you. You girls
have become so confoundedly clan
nish and wrapped up in yourselves"
Not ten yards away in the shad-
ows Toady was weeping and laugh
ing on Jimmy Langston's manly
chest and promising never to desert
him again.
The report for the evening was
five engagements and three under
standings"
The club in a fever of excitement
gave three cheers for Heckfire.
