IF you're timid about asking her,
III do it myself"
Laura banged the metal file
cabinet drawer shut. I'm not timid
about it at all" she said abruptly
I'll ask her this minute"
Suppose we compromise" Steph-
en- said, turning to Tina, who was
listening to all this with big eyes,
land let Tina run upstairs now and
ask her"
I'D like to!" Tina cried, sliding
off the chair.
Don't forget to tell her about
the meeting at l o'clock tomorrow
when we're going to make our
1 plans" Stephen called after her.
II won't" Tina answered as she
scampered out.
Were all glad" Tina told Janet
few moments later, because
you're one of our sponsors. Mr.
Malone is splendid, but Miss Mills
always says it wouldn't be proper
to do this, or it wouldn't be right
to do that" she wrinkled her small
nose in disgust.
Janet Is Persuaded.N
oh" Janet said accusingly, $50
you think you could get away with
anything if I were there. Is that
tt?"
"Oh, mol" Tina protested. But
you're such fun. The hikes going
to be on the fifth I hope I get to
ride out with you and Mr.. Malone. -
I'm afraid won't be going,
Tina" Janet said slowly She didn't
intend to back down in her attitude
toward either Miss Mills or Mr..
Malone.
"I expect Miss Mills would be
glad if you didn't CO." Tina said
then, pursuing her lips and squirting
her eyes Importantly, "'cause she'd
like to be with Mr.. Malone her
self. And if you were there" this
was with much head-shaking en-
phasis, che wouldn't even look at
her"
"Oh-I see," Janet said. Perhaps
she was thinking, that was the
reason for Miss Mills attitude from
the first.
Everybody says she's in love with
him." Tina ventured
Tina! You really mustn't say
such things" she chided.
"You will go won't you?"
"Well-perhaps I could" Janet
answered at last.
1t was perfect october weather
that Saturday afternoon. The
sweet gum and maple had turned
to vivid red, yellow and purple
sumac drifted like pure flame
against the hillsides. The sassafras
thickets along the lane to Stephens
farm were brilliant orange and red
'It's beautiful. isn't it?" Jane
whispered to Tina. She and Tina
and another child rode in the bach
seat of Stephens car and Miss Mill
and Benny Gilman rode in from
with Stephen.
A Treasure Hunt.
The tenant had already driver

something about coming to look how
far down 1t was, fail her thin arms
wildly for q moment, cluthing for
something, and then go out Of sight
over the edge.
Janet stood rooted for a moment,
the back Of her hand pressed against
her mouth, sick feeling gathering
in the pit of her somewhere, and
then she rushed forward.
Tina" she screamed
=. She could see the child halfway
down in a huddled, twisted heap on
narrow ledge. Her body was
pressed against the face of the
cliff and she held both hands over
her face in terror. Even as Janet
looked she saw a small piece of the
cliff crumbling away.
She started down, clinging to
small saplings and tough little bits
of brush growing out of the rocks.
After she had reached Tina, she
found it necessary to hold the child
with one arm and cling with the
other to the roots of the small sap
ling growing out of the ledge just
above them. If she had put her
weight on the shelf where Tina had
been, it would have fallen away.
1t seemed hours before they were
discovered. 1t was only the red of
Janet's sweater against the cliff that
led the others to them.
Stephen Decides to Garry.
After the effort of tying the rope
about Tina she didn't remember
much. She must have slid on al
most to the bottom of the stone
wall.
She remembered nothing more
until she opened her eyes to find
that Stephen Malone was holding
her in his arms.
Shed had a queer idea just be-
fore that she had heard him say
ing, Janet! Janet you've got to
be all right. Now that I've found
you, can't lose you!''
When her eyes opened he flushed
and looked confused.
Are you all right?" he asked
quickly.
She managed a faint smile and
let her eyes futter shut again for
just an instant, Peculiarly she
wanted to feel for a moment more
the strong clasp of Stephen Ma
lone's arms about her. 1t was so
pleasant, so very comforting.
He shook her slightly. Darling"
he breathed
Her eyes flew open, looked straight
into his. I'm quite all right" she
whispered.
He set her down on a rock and
knelt before her anxiously.
Il was-horribly frightened" he
explained gruf1y. 80
oh" Perhaps that was the rea-
son he'd said darling"
We'll have to tape that cut on
your cheek" he said. Concern
clouded his eyes. "And we'd better
have a doctor look you over. You're
probably bruised up a bit"
He swooped her up in his arms
again.
II could walk" she protested.
II don't think you'd better"
he answered. He wrenched his eyes
away from hers. looked straight
ahead as he strobe off with her.
She half closed her eyes, but
through the Sits she studied the
strong stubborn line of his Jaw and
the frowning concentration of the
high brow.
Janet Realizes Situation.
Once as he glanced down at her
briefly, her arm about his neck
frightened a little. Her heart was
pounding. She felt fierce, wild
Joy that he was carrying her like

gram with the speed that is being

AS a people, we never do things by
halves when occasions like this arise
we are very apt to think with our
emotions. We are all set to get
steamed up like we did back in 1917.
We will have our spy hunts, meatless
and sugarless days, daylight saving
and all the other gyrations so dear
to the heart of America in unusual
times. We have already mortgaged
the future of four unborn generations.
Perhaps we may succeed in mort
gaging a couple more generations be-
bore the investors wake up to the
fact that the Federal treasury is
empty.
National defense is always a SER
ious matter, and it is particularly
so now but the way in which we are
going at it cannot but bring smiles.
The party in power hasn't the courage
to ask Congress to raise the debt
limit before election, neither does it
dare to bring out new tax bill at
this time, so it is probable that more
currency will be issued for a while
and after election will come the L.
o. us.
Congress Should not Adjourn.
Administration leaders say that
Congress can wind up its program
by the middle of June and adjourn
sine die. In the opinion of many
it would be the height of folly for
Congress to 60 home while Europe
is aflame. When this Congress ad-
journs it cannot re-assemble except
by proclamation of the President,
and it is pretty certain that he will
not issue such proclamation unless
the need for more money should
arise. Roosevelt believes in one-ring
shows, with himself as ringmaster.
To him Congress is but necessary
evil that is better disbanded. Ger
tainly, I shall do everything within
my power to oppose adjournment.

Congress Acts on Defense.

On Friday, last, the House with but
one dissenting vote passed the Emer-
.gency National Defense bill, which
authorizes unlimited expansion of the
Army Air service and for speeding up
the production of munitions and sup
plies. The Senate has already acted
upon another army appropriation bill
which carries 1923 million dollars.
1t is planned to speed up production
to a point that will give the navy
an air force of 10000 planes with
10000 pilots, and probably larger
force for the army.
Industrialists say that it will take
several years for them to get ready
to carry out such an ambitious pro-

will climb from $2,sOO to $2,6OO. The salary increase of Frank Cassin, as- sistant water superintendent, is from $2,75O to $S,l2O. The budget also provides increases for several of the laborers at the Wigwam and East Mountain reservoirs.
 Cost of the paving projects will not come from city revenue, but from proceeds of still available bond funds. As result the tax rate will not be affected. There Is now avail able in the street improvement bond fund $209,983, of which $l04,723 is to be used for paving Bank street, $47,3S7 for North Main street, and $53,265 for South Main street.
 There is $93,288 available in the bridge bond fund, according to the budget. The board appropriated $SS,- 026 for building the proposed new Baldwin street span.
