They Need Your Help.
Two years after the first great

saw men in uniform begging, men
whose old uniforms wore decora-

outrage of that, sticks in my throat
every time l remember it. Men who
had known the bloody trenches,
whose valor their country had recog-
nized, begging in the streets.

But if your town is small one

You can personally contact the
wounded veterans, and find out what
each one wants to do. Some years

comforted by Annie's matter-of-fact-

feet and went upstairs.
She grimaced little as she
looked at herself in the mirror. She
was white to the lips, there were
shadows beneath her dark eyes, and
her hair was untidy.
She showered and donned fresh
things, soft green jersey dress the
shade Of the first new green in

brush.
Laurence came back little later,
but he was not alone. With him
was stocky young man whose face
looked like that of a man in his
early thirties, but whose hair was
thickly streaked with gray. He had
a pleasant, friendly manner, yet
one felt instinctively that he could
be tough should occasion require it.
Laurence performed the introduce
tons, saying casually, "Meggie, this
is Bob Reynolds. He's a detective
from the county police who's looking
into this business"
"HeIo," said Bob Reynolds, with

Annie hesitated, something else
obviously on her mind. But after a
minute she said her expressionless
"yessum" and her felt-soled broad
feet padded silently away.
Megan felt that Laurence and
Reynolds had been gone long, long
time and looked at the clock to see
that barely ten minutes had elapsed
since they had left the room. But
it was closer to thirty minutes before
they returned, and as they came
along the hall, Megan heard their
low-pitched, cautious voices and her
nerves crisped little.

The ideas proved fu- tile, as did the letter and 1t wasn't many motnhs before she was on her way to New York to try the stage.
