vant and handed him the remainder of
the envelopes.
“Go through them, James, while I as-
sault the kidneys, and pick two oF
three out for me. I see that you will
have to become my secretary.”
“Do you want me to open them.
sir?” asked Denny doubtfully.
“You've hit it, James—hit it in one.
Classify them for me in groups. Crim-
inal; sporting; amatory—that means
of or pertaining to love; stupid and
merely boring; and as a last resort,
miscellaneous.” He stirred his coffee
thoughtfully. “I feel that as a first
venture in our new career—ours, I said,
James—Ilove appeals to me irresistibly.
Find me a damsel in distress; a beau-
tiful girl, helpless in the clutches of
knaves. Let me feel that I can fly to
her succor, clad in my new grey suit-
ing.”
He finished the last piece of bacon
and pushed away his plate.
Denny was engrossed in a letter he
had just opened. A perplexed look
was spreading over his face, and sud-
denly he sucked his teeth loudly. It
was a sure sign that James was ex-
cited, and Drummond glanced up
quickly, and removed the letter from
his hands. “I'm surprised at you,
James,” he remarked severely. “A-sec-
retary should control (itself. Don’t
forget that the perfect secretary is an
It; an automatic machine—a thing in-
capable of feeling. . . .”
He read the letter through rapidly,
and then, turning back to the begin-
ning, he read it slowly through again.
“My dear Box X10,—I don’t know
whether your advertisement was a
joke: I suppose it must have been.
But I read it this morning, and it’s just
possible, X10, just possible, you mesn
it. And if you do, you're the man I
went. I can offer you excitement and
probably crime.
“I'm up against it, X10. For a girl
I've bitten off rather more than I can
chew. I want help—badly. Will you
come to the Carlton for tea tomorrow
afternoon? I want to have a look at
you and see if I think you are genu-
ine. Wear a white flower in your but-
tonhoie.”
Drummond laid the letter down, and
pulled out his . cigarette case. *“To-
morrow, James,” he murmured. “That
is today—this very afternoon. Verily
I believe that we have impinged upon
the goods.” He rose and stood look-
ing out of the window thoughtfully.
“You think it's genuine, sir? said
James.
His master blew out a cloud of
smoke. “I know It is,” he answered
dreamily. “Look at that writing; the
decision in it—the character. She'll
be medium height, and dark, with the
sweetest little nose and mouth. Her
coloring James, will be——"
But James had discreetly left the
room.
TWO.
At four o'clock exactly Hugh Drum-
mond stepped out of his two-seater at
the Haymarket entrance to the Carl-
ton. For a few moments after enter-
ing the hotel he stood at the top of
the stairs outside the dining room.
while his eyes traveled round the ta-
bles in the lounge below.
Slowly and thoroughly he continued
his search. It was early, of course,
yet, and she might not have arrived,
but he was taking no chances.
Suddenly his eyes ceased wandering,
and remained fixed on a table at the
far end of the lounge. Half hidden
behind a plant a girl was seated alone,
and for a moment she looked straight
at him. Then with the faintest sus-
picion of a smile, she turned away, and
commenced drumming on the table
with her fingers.
The table next to her was unoccu-
pied and Drummond made his way to-
ward it and sat down.
He felt not the slightest doubt in
tis mind that this was the girl who
had written him, and, having given
an order to the walter, he started to
study her face as unobtrusively as pos-
sible, He could only see the profile,
but that was quite sufficient to make
him bless the moment when more as a
jest than anything else he had sent
his advertisement to the paper.
Her eyes, he could see, were very
blue; and great masses of golden
brown hair coiled over her ears, from
under a small black hat. He glanced
at her hands, and noted, with approv-
al, the absence of any ring. Then he
looked once more at her face, and
found her eyes were fixed on him.
This time she did not look away.
She seemed to think that it was her
turn to conduct the examination and
Drummond fumbled in his walstcoat
pocket. After a moment he found
what he wanted, and taking out a card
he propped it against the teapot so
that the girl could see what was on it.
In large black capitals he had written
Box X10.
She spoke almost at once. “You'll
do, X10,” she sald, and he turned to
her with a smile.
“It's very nice of you to say 80,” he
murmured. “If I may, I will return
the compliment. So will you.”
She frowned slightly. “This isn't
foolishness, you know. What I said in
uy letter is literally true. I want
you to tell me,” and there was no trace
of jesting in her voice, “tell me, on
your word of honor, whether that ad-
vertisement was bona fide or a joke.”
He answered her in the same vein.
“It started more or less as a joke. It
may now be regarded as absolutely
genuine.”
She nodded as if satisfied.
you prepared to risk your life?”
Drummond's eyebrows went up and
then he smiled. “Granted that the
induceraent is sufficient,” he returned
slowly, “I think I may say that I am.”
He saw that she was staring over
his shoulder at some one behind his
back.
“Don’t look around,” she ordered,
“aud tell me yous name quickly.”

GAME FOR SICK KIDDIES.
Standing in the door of the chil-
dren’s ward, I looked across the rows
of little beds and wondered at their
festive appearance. On each bed was
a gay coverlet, composed of bright
colored squares and stripes. I spoke
of it to the matron.
“You can’t imagine,” she said,
“how much pleasure those pretty bed
covers bring the children, and how
they have cheered things up in the
hospital. This used to be a rather sad
room with all its white beds, but since
the coming of the rainbow covers it
has been as gay as can be. Here is
one we use only on special occasions
as a reward of merit when a child has
been good or as a source of comfort
when he is very miserable.”
The little cover she pointel out had
a Red Cross flag in the center. Itlay
across the bed of a very pale, very
black-eyed boy.
“Joseph,” explained the matron,
“had to undergo an exceedingly pain-
ful examination this moning and he
was so brave and uncomplaining that
we thought he merited the honor cov-
erlet.” Joseph looked up at us with a
pleased smile and lovingly patted the
little flag.
“Where,” I asked, “did the coverlets
come from?”
“The childen of the Junior Red
Cross made them,” the matron replied.
“Each school room contributed one,
the little squares or stripes represent-
ing the work of one of the pupils in
the room. When the blocks were made
they were then sewed together to

High schools of the State desiring

or for baccalaureate sermons will be
able to secure them by getting into
communication with the extension de-
partment of the liberal arts school at
The Pennsylvania State College, ac-
cording to the announcement made by
Prof. M. M. Harris, acting director of
liberal arts extension. This will be a
new phase of extension work, and re-
quests for speakers will receive care-

Feathered Missionaries of Penn State
in India.
For years The Pennsylvania State
College has been sending some of its
graduates over seas as missionaries
to China, India and Africa, but the
latest development is the use of
“feathered missionaries” in a remark-
able project. After more than two
months of travel over 12,000 miles by
| sea and 600 by rail, forty-one pedi-
greed White Leghorn chickens from
the State College flocks have arrived
at Etah Up, India, where they are
now doing missionary work of an un-
usual character.
They are aiding in a poverty strick-
en community to regain its economic
standing by laying eggs and hatching
chicks and at an unusual rate. Des-
pite their long journey in regulation
coops, accompanied by Arthur E. Sla-
ter, representative of the American
Presbyterian Mission at Etah Up, the
chickens within a week were making
a fifty per cent. egg production with
ninety per cent. fertility. Only two
of the chickens showed any effects of
the long journey. Thirty-six female
and five male chickens were sent from
the college pens. They were purchas-
ed by the churches of State College.
Mr. Slater writes Dean R. L. Watts,
of the college school of agriculture,
that nothing could have been more ap-
Dreciated by the people of that sec-
ion.
SCRIPTURE CAKE.
. In my young days it was the custom
in England for churches and Sunday
schools to have fairs, or, as we used
to call them, bazaars. At these fairs
cakes were sold and among those
which realized the most money was
what was known as “Scripture Cake.”
| The recipe was printed and given to
each buyer of a cake, or if portions of
a cake were sold, then a small charge
was made for the recipe. To enable
one to understand the recipe without
the Bible I have appended a key. The
formula is as follows:
4% cups of 1 Kings, 4.22.
1% cups of Judges 5.25, last clause.
2 cups of Jer. 6.20.
2, cups of 1 Sam. 30.12.
2 cups of Nahum 3.12.
1 cup Num. 17.8.
2 tablespoonfuls 1 Sam. 14.25.
Season to taste with 2 Chron. 9.9.
Six of Jer. 17.11.
A pinch of Lev. 11.13.
1 cup of Judges 4.19, latter part.
2 tablespoonfuls of Amos 4.5.
Following Solomon’s prescription
for making a good boy. Prov. 12.14.
THE KEY.
1—Fine flour.
2—Butter.
3—Sugar.
4—Raisins.
5—Figs.
6—Almonds.
7—Honey.
8—Spices.
9—Eggs.
10—Salt.
11—Milk.
12—Baking powder.
13—A good beating.—By John De
Morgan, New Brighton, S. I.
