FLORENCE’'S WEAPON, Bynopsis—-Proud possessor of a printing press and equipment, the gift of Uncle Joseph to his nephew, Herbert Illingsworth Atwater, Jr., aged thirteen, the foriunate youth, with his chum, Henry Rooter, about the same age, begins the pub- lication of a full-fledged newspaper, the North End Dally Oriole. Her- , bert's amall cousin, Florence At- water, being barred from any kind of participation in the enterprise, on account of her intense and nat- ural feminine desire to “boss,” is frankly annoyed, and not at all backward In saying so. However, a poem she has written is accepted for insertion in the Oriole, on a strictly commercial basis—cash in advance. The poem suffers some- what from the inexperience of the youthful publishers in the “art preservative.” Her not altogether unreasonable demand for republi- cation of the masterpiece, with its beauty unmarred, is scornad, and the break between Miss Atwater and the publishers of the Oriole widens. The Bunday following, Florence's particular chum, Patty Fairchild, pays her a visit. They are joined, despite Florence's open- ly expressed disapproval, by Her- bert and Henry. Florence will not play Patty and the visitors in- dulge in a series of innocent Sun- day games. Among them is one called “Truth,” the feature of which is a contract to write a ques- tion and answer, both to be kept a profound secret. The agreement is duly carried out. , Florence is told as a family secret that her beautl- ful aunt, Julla Atwater, has appar- ently become engaged to a man named Crum, altogether unknown to the Atwaters Florence finds the notes In the Truth’ game, in which both Herbert and Henry ad- mit that they have pretty eyes, and threatens to tell the much. feared Wallie Torbin of the epl- sode PART |l—Continued. i “Oh, nothin,” she replied, airily. fo tease think up.” “Oh, was that ail?” A hopeful light faded out of Uncle Joseph's large and Inexpressive face. “I thought perhaps you'd detected him in some indiscretion.” Florence teasin' him, Joseph.” Hereupon, Herbert resumed a con- fused breathing. Dazed, he remained uneasy, profoundly so; and gratitude was no part of his emotion, He well understood that Florence was never susceptible to impulses of compassion in conflicts such as these; in fact, if there was warfare hetween them, ex- perience had taught him to be warlest when she seemed kindest, He moved Herbert any way I could laughed, “I. was .just It wasn’t anything, Uncle room where his condition was one of increasing mental discomfort, though he looked for a while at the pictures ricaded ; and this one (consisting of the ancient carriage-house doors, open- Ing upon a driveway through the yard) had recently been made effec tive as an Instrument of exclusion. | A long and heavy plank leaned against | the wall, near by, ready to be set in | hook-shaped iron supports fastened to | the inner sides of the doors: and | when the doors were closed, with this | great plank In place, a person inside | the building might -seem entitled to | count upon the enjoyment of privacy, | except In ease of earthquake, tornado, | or fire.

Then she called back to the waiting Herbert. “The only person I'd even think of tellimg about it Before 1 tell You would be a hoy I know.” She coughed, and added as bf an afterthought. “He'd just love to know all about it; 1 know he would, So! when I tell afiybody about it I'll only tell Just you and this other boy.” “What other manded, And her reply, thrilling through the dntkness, left him paralytic with hor. ror. “Wallle Torbin!" » * . * . * . The next afternoon, about four o'clock, Herbert stood gloomily at the main entrance of Atwater & Rooters newspaper building, awaiting his part- ner. The other entrances were not only nailed fast, but massively bar: boy?" » Herbert de was he now in such a frame of mind He was deeply pessimistic In regard to his future, and also embarrassed in anticipation of some explanations It be necessary to make to his partner, He strongly hoped that Henry's regular. after-school appear- ance at the newspaper bullding would precede Florence's, hecanse these ex- both deliberation and tact, and he was convinced that it would be almost impossible to make them at all if Florence got there first, He understood that he unfor- tunately within her power; and he that (t be dangerous to place in for her exclusion from the building this new mechanism contrived with such hopeful care, and at a cost of two dollars twenty- five or nine annual subsecrip- tions to the Oriole out of a present total of What he that for some which Herbert had not to it would be Florence a had a find on Henry to be as sub- Fiorence as she had was would operation and cents thirty-two, wished io believe was Henry good reason, been able invent, to Hteness, he yet shqw He io} might little po- hope diplomatic desperate that some way to prevail servient to : i i i mined to touch any extremity of un- veracity rather than permit the tails of his answer In “Truth” to come his Henry Rooter was not Wallle Torbin; but in possession of such this make himself intoler. human ft common to fear that we fear may have been de. to partner's knowledge material ns easily Here : was a strange he could able, thing, strange most of publicity. the minds bro We whose seldom lize people ? nt as we have bh Therefore, it in a flurried state Herbert and sydd the perturbation So Was waited ; appeared over fence, was not de.

This final clause would have sur prised Herbert if he had been less pre occupied with his troubles. “You bet she won't!” he sald mechanleally “She couldn't ever get in here again— if the family didn't go intafering around and give me the dickens and everything, because they think-—they say they do, anyhow--they say they think-—they think--" He paused, disguising a little choke as a cough of scorn for the family's | thinking. . “Wha: did you say your family think?"
