"Say, I lilt* a man that's frank."
Maguire ,laid a friendly hand on
Jerry's arm and halted bum while he.
delivered his explanation. "I'll be
equally frank with you. • It's perfect-

I had in mind; he hadn't passed as
well as you had done, but still he was
pretty good. and 'ha was one of my
friends But yoil got influence 'to
working in your beha,f and that wee
too strong for me. I had nothing

"I don't see how you could have,"
Jerry replied. - -

when I say, 'Fired for inking-'"
"Maybe he'll take me for a refer

"Oh, I'd just as soon try it. 'All

They parted; and Dave had to re-
habilitate himself - in the esteem of
the two companions who during this
interview had been eyeing him with
, distrust and contempt - There was

but you had influence that was too
much for me."
"That remark is almost too 'much
for me," said Jerry with a grin. And
Maguire went into a convulsion of
almost noiseless laughter.
He laid his friendly hand again on
Jerry's arm.

Pressed for information as to- a few, -

Rafferty specified -the annual picnic

The Right Drying Temperature
The theory of drying is to remove

thing that showed why the birds had

shining so brightly upon her early in

Through the open window she heard
a curious sound, faint and distant at
first, then clearer and closer. It was
the clatter of the hoofs of many
horses on the highway.. Hilda ran
from the pantry to the front door. A
long column of soldiers riding on
horses! Hilda could hardly believe
.her eyes: 'The soldiers that she had
so wanted to see were not at the

Hilda could see were. men and horses.

• Then a tall officer who saw Hilda
standing in the doorway came into
the yard and spoke to her very polite-
ly, with his hat in his hand.
"May I have a drink of water?" he
asked. "It ika hot day for a practice
hike, even on horseback."
Hilda hurried In for a dipper,. and.
then went with the officer to the well
beneath the elms- at the end of the.
house. .. Others saw them and came.
running. Hilda went for more dip-
pers and for glasses. How eagerly:
the soldiers drank the clear, cold wa-

homes. The tall officer even lifted
her to the saddle of his horse and led.
The horse round the yard, while the
others clapped their hands and called
her "the little colonel."
Hilda ran into the house and
brought out the roses that she had cut
in _the morning. • She gave them to
the soldiers at the well, but the' big-
gest one of all she gave to the tall
officer. He held her up and kiseed
her as -she fastened it to, his mat.
Then the bugle blew, and all the

Sincere Tribute to the .Prevalling
Honest of .the English People
Notevery member of any nation is
honest,but it is a source of legitimate
-wide when the' visitor from a strange
land finds that virtue so general aa, to
be worth special mention. Sir Rabin-
, dranath Tagore,
the Indian poet, paya
' a very sincere tribute to the prevail-
ing honesty of the English people. .
-One winter day,he says, as I was
passing through a street in 1:unbridge
Wells, I saw a man standing on the
roadaide. His bare toes were show-
ing through his gaping boots, his
-breast was partly uncovered. He said
nothing to me, perhaps because beg-
ging was forbidden, but he looked up
at my face for just a moment. The
coin that I gave him was perhaps
more valuable than he expected, for
after I had gone a few steps he came
after me and said:
"Sir, you have given ;me' a gold
piece by mistake."
I might. not have particularly re-
membered the incident if a similar
thing had not happened on another
occasion. When I first reached the
Torquay railway station: a. porter,took
my luggage to -a ,cab outside. After
searching my purse for small change
in vain, I gave him half a crown as
the cab started. A moment later he
came running after qs, shouting to
he cabman to stop: I thought that,
finding me suc an innocent,
bit upon some excuse for demanding
more. As the cabman stepped he
said:
"You must have mistaken half a
crown for a penny, air!"

cheated in England, but I can say that
I have never been cheated in'ani way
