she remembered this séene vividly.
and always she realized how fool-
ish she was to give vent to her
outraged feelings in such a manner.
She was in the grip of one of
those spoils of emotional madness
for which Fred had been a. target
many times.
Mamie, unable to restrain herself,
burst out: "Don't You talk to me
like that."
Evelyn drew the card from its
envelope and began reading.
“Who do you think you are. any

out the first words that came to her
mind. “lil"—-—she paused. "Who is

Evelyn broke out ancw: "So you

Mamie Jumped out of bed. Eve-

Something seemed to snap in
Evelyn and she threw herself down
on her berth, sobbing.
The woman standing over her
started to speak but checked her-
self. Slowly she sat down. curiously
and wonderingiy. But one conclu-
sion leaped to her mindua (to her)
tremendous discovery.
The words written on the unen-
grayed card were impressed in her
mind:
"I could never be so platitudin-
ous to write ‘cheis for the sweet.’
But that‘s what I want. to say. any-
way. Merely Ellison." The script
was bold and flauniing. There was
no mistaking it for any but a. man's.
So excited was Mamie over having
accidently stumbled (if such may be
called an nccidenl) on what she be-
lieved was a during affair of Eve-
lyn's. that no pronounced feelings
of anger took possession of her. She
was (icliriousiy eager to pry a story
out of hvr cousin.
Evelyn of all persons!
She wondered what she could do
or say to quiet the sobbing woman.

Billy and Nannie were planning
to steal some of the farmer's nice
melons.
I‘ The planter had scarcely reached
his house when Billy and Nannie
walked up to the hole through
which the little darkies had crawled.
and Billy boldly pushed his head
through. But alas. aiack! lie got no
further than his head for, as I said
before, the hedge was of cause or-
ange and had long thorns on it.
which caught in his long board and
the hair on his sides and logs and
he was held as in a. viso. If he mov-
ed, the thorns either stuck into his
flesh or pulled his hair out of the
roots.
“Baa! Baa! Baa! Gee, but these
if I move,
they will pull half my hair out. if
they don't skin me entirely! Don't
come any nearer, Nannie. or you
I”
At this moment both goals heard
a low growl and, looking in the di-
rection the planter's bulldog stand-
ing watching them. He growled:
"Ha, ha. Mr. Goat! i have you
now just where I want you! For
I see you are enjoying yourself as
much as I did when you gave me
a. butt 3 while ago."
“Oh. shut up!" snapped Billy. "or
when I get loose, I'll butt you over
the moon!" And Billy began to
squirm to get loose, but the more
.he snuirmcd and wriggled. the
he squirmed and wriggied. the
tighter he was entagled in the hedge
and the more the dog laughed and
jccrcd at him.
"My. but you are getting prettier
and prettier every minute. with the
long. while hair. And the expression
on your face is englic! I know a
painter Would love to paint you
just as you are!"
“Keep still, I tell you. or i will
get ztitcr you even if I lime to skin
myself to do it!"
ilut the dog kept on talking to
Billy, grinning and swinging ins ml:
with delight. The more. linntic
Iiiiiy grew, the more in: :njoycll it.
And to annoy lliiiy the: morn, he
kept coming closer and t'iom'r until
he was so near that liiliy muld feel
his breath on his face iimngh is:
could not quite reach him.
All this time lliiiy, kicked and
squirmcd until his logs were hired-
ing and his hair was being torn
out by the handful. Then the climax
came.
The dog had just said he guessed
he would drive the other goat into
the hedge, as it Would be more fun
will! lwo goats squirming in the
hedge llum one. This was loo much
for llilly. lie knew what he was en-
during nnd to see his beloved little
wife suffering as he was now was
more than he could stand.
So with one mighty plunge for-
ward. he tore himself loose and land
ed on the dog.
(And tomorrow we will find out
what happened next.)
The Navy
In recent years the enlisted per-
sonnel has been through a severe
struggle. \Vith the war glamour re-
moved, the result of that curiously
conceived and singularly executed
policy which Josephus Daniels called
"democratization" were more gener-
ally understood outside the naval
service; :writes Turnbull in Current
History. Bluejnckels on furlough
ceased to be self-appointed recruit-
ing agents: ceased to present to
young civilians an attractive picture.
They were weary of the misguided
efforts of the Administration which
placed them in ridiculous position,
such as the famous proposal to com-
bine the living arrangements of of-
ficers and men aboard ship into one
"general mess"; or. much more
subversive of loyalty and discipline.
the suggestion from Mr. Daniels that
enlisted men write their grievances
to him direct instead of writing
them. as required by navy regula-
tions .through their commanding
officers.
The men declined to be treated as
morons. They were quick to realize
that such practices were breeding
misunderstanding and suspicion.
were drawing these had been un-
known. They Went home and told
their friends to stay home. Thus,
with the added inducement of the
glittering post-war opportunities a-
shore. many good men were lost to
the navy. ‘
The fact that it is possible today
to recruits to the full strength allow-
ed by law, that recruiting oflicers
need not accept half of those desir-
ous of enlisting. is. of course, due
chiefly to a different mental atti-
tude. The present quality of the en-
listed ,personnel is high. and. 'to
keep it so. certificates of. good
character from civil authorities at
home are new demanded of candl-
dates. Should existing law be amend-
ed to permit the recruiting of an
adequate personnel, there would he

Happily, the fatal step was frus-
