Brotherly love was the order to-
day, but not last night among five
Washington fraternal organiza tions

keen entertainment of a packed
gallery and the qualification of
sponsors of the Children'S Hospital

all the proceeds.
With a f1ve-game set of 1851 the
Masons triumphed. The Elks, de-
Tending laurelS won in the first
annual event last year, were second
with 2,911, trailed by the Odd Fell
lows, 1893; knights of Columbus,
1859 AlmaS Temple, 2,842, and
Royal ArCanum, 2,726.
They rolled on the same drives
and it was an even battle for four
games between the vlctorS and the
Elks. The Masons gained a 16-pin
lead in the first game, 6l0 to 594, but
the ElkS edged closer in the second,
604 to 500 and went on top after the
third skirmish by % pins when they

he persisted,
The first thing We must do" he
said, feeling that he was making

That was my idea" retorted
Peggy.

The next one comes before the

Mr.. Danforth dined at home
that night because he was expecting
a call from Jimmy. The telephone

ing his coffee in his study the door
bell rang A moment or two after
ward jenkins entered.
Miss Vane to see your, sir"
Mr.. Danforth sat up in surprise.
This was something he had not eX-
pected.
Show her in, jenkins"
He rose to greet her and was
shocked to see how drawn and tired
her face war. There was no smile
on her face as she looked straight
into his eyes. He said gently,
Please sit down"
No. thank you" replied Verify
in tired voice. For almost "a hours
she had been travelling except for
the enforced stay At Porter's hotel
the night before. She had been un-
able TO sleep. She had gone through
an emotional turmoil such as she
had never experienced before. She
was wounded and hurt and drained
of the blood of feeling.
You are tired. my child" he
said, feeling that somehow he was
responsible for this tired face and
that he had anticipated nothing
like this. He was uneasy.
Il am sorry, Mr.. Danforth. I
know now that you did not tell me
everything when you offered me
this job"
But, my child O."

A flash of intuition came upon
Mr.. Danforth as his steely gray eyes
bored into Verity's stricken face.
Humbly he spoke Il am very
sorry. When a foolish old man Is
lonely and tired he does things by
logic and forgets that youth has a
heart Forgive me" Then quietly
he said, You have fallen in love
with my son!"
A flicker of defiance came into
Verity's eyes, but it was short-lived,
because in her turmoil of emotion
she had completely overlooked the
necessity of eating during the day
and a sudden weakness overwhelm-
ed her.
