Mr. Paudel is em- ployed in the Standard Steel works, of T.ewistown, but apparently that is not" his only employment, as he is a man who has the good of his church at heart. At the last conference he was appointed one of the men to go among the various churches in his district and speak to the members relative to their obligations to their pastors. Mr. Paudel is a member of the Ministerial Aid society of this church, which is hoping for great things. Central Pennsylvania Con- ference desires to raise one-half mil- lion dollars to be held in trust for the wornout ministers of this church, so they will not need charity.

The cat because of its destruction of game birds and small game is be- ginning to figure in the statutes. Massachusetts in 1917 passed a law prohibiting possession of cats on Meskegat Island or the bringing of any cats to the island and Michigan declared cats following on the track of game birds or small game public nuisances and decreed that the owner who permits them to run at large after notice from the game commis- sioner shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. ———————— Impolite. «I heard him call you “Duckie,” an- nounced the small brother. ; “Well, what of it?” demanded his sister. “Qh, nothing much,” answered the small brother. “I was only thinking maybe its because of the way you walk, but it ain’t very nice of him.”— Tit-Bits. — There is some comfort in the fact that Russia is incapable of doing much harm even if unwilling to do good. | STRAIGHT FROM HEADQUAR- | TERS. 1 | (Continued from page 2, column 3). | “Yes sir,” said the valet, hiding a | sneer. | “She’s been at home since nine | o'clock, sir. She’s with Miss Elea- i nor.” “Wha’s matter with Miss Eleanor —hey?” “It’s croup, I think, sir.” _ “Damn outrage, ’s what I call it!” indignantly stated the master of the big stone house. ‘“’Way from home all day—con-confounded war relief. . . saves money for poor s-soldiers . . . ridin’ subway cars, all sorts rot ....think I hadnt got money ‘nough, wouldn’t you?

Tell her mother go get some doctors! ’Way from home all day, wasn’t she?” “Yes, Mr. Vryling.” “Rid-ridic’lous,” said the portly gentleman, hiccoughing. “Why’n she let soldiers do his own work!

Am I right?” “Yes, sir,” said the valet wearily. “Quite right, sir.” He brought Mr. Vryling in safety to the head of the stairs. They were cruising crankily along the upper hallway, when a young woman appeared at the far end of the corridor, a young woman palpably tired, but immeasurably serene; as she approached them, the valet red- dened and sunk his fingers a trifle more deeply into Mr. Vryling’s biceps. “3,0, Frances!” said Mr. Vryling, L. | affecting, as an anticipatory shield to | accusation, an air of judicial stern- ness. “What’s matter with you, any- way? How's Eleanor? Where’s doctor?” _ She looked at him without speak- ing, but the utter tranquility of her and the calm radiance of her expres- sion disturbed him greatly, because he couldn’t divine the cause of it. Even in his present condition he was momentarily awed and apologetic. “Eleanor better?” he stammered. “She’s asleep,” said Frances, at- tempting to pass him. “It wasn't se- rious.” He shook himself free from the val- et and barred the way. Something in her manner frightened him; he could have endured any indictment, or any degree of contempt; but this new at- titude of hers was appalling by its very gentleness and quiet. “What’s matter with you, Frances? Mad? Not mad, are you? Just ‘cause I happened to meet some old friends? Can’t a man have a little fun once in a while?” She was smiling faintly, not at him but infinitely beyond him. Her de- meanor perplexed and irritated and worried him; he couldn’t understand why his conduct wasn’t worth at least a casual mention. Why, she seemed hardly to know that he existed! His dull eyes widened in resentment and uncertainty. “Why—never mind all that, Jim,” she said. “It’s really immaterial.” And, with that same mysterious, unfathomable smile stll resting on her lips, she brushed ber American Magazine.
