Erwin is qulto some poet, let me toll you. Have you read his book entitled "Tho Dyak Chief"? Well, it's some book, bellevo me; some one laps up some one else's blood, and it certainly Blves you the woozles. Well, Erwin decided that ho would not stand out for a commission, as so many have, and ho would not wait for tho draft to call him to training, either. What need had ho to train to flght? Many with whom ho has come ln con tact In his days of youthful exuberance will bear mo out ln saying that ho docs not indeed need to train. HE KNOWS how. So he determined not to wait and train here for the trenches, but to go to them himself, and so today ho sails for France to offer himself to Pershing for the regular army already in Franco And let us hopo he is accepted, us otherwise should Friend Pershing undertake to dlsagreo with Erwin ho might smite him on the "bean," which ho can do with great efficiency. I do not doubt that he will be ac cepted, for I should certainly think him to bo physically fit and certainly full of courage. Ho has always been strong for tho Allies, and the story goes that one time winter before last ho happened to see an account of! a German atrocity, which so enraged him ho cut the urtlclo out and proceeded to the consul's oftlce or home, history does not designate which, and facing tho consul he held tho ac count before his eyes with his left hand and said: "See that? Well, take this," and with his "goodlle" right arm he felled him to the ground. Somehow Cape May and other places Where young Erwin spent his time ln the summer will seem lonely without him. Erwin certainly comes from a great line of fighters, and bomethlng tells mo that though he may get his desire and start as a private ho will speedly bo promoted. His father was Captain George L. Garrett of tho Union Army and was promoted for bravery at the battle of Stony Ridge by General Hosccrans. He had three great-great grandfathers ln tho Revolutionary War, Including his great-great grandfather, Captain John Garrett. Needless to say, Erwin belongs to the Sons of the Revolution and the Colonial Societies of this city with a rec ord llko that back of him. IT'S a funny thing about 'grandfathers. When they told mo Erwln had three great-great ones I nlmost said "Aw, quit your klddln," as tho small boy did when I told him every seven years he would turn Into a girl (and, Incidentally, when he became so excited on tho sub ject that he took to throwing the furni ture, I subsided). But then you know I stopped to think, and, of course, you can have two grandfathers, and, of course, they each had a father and a mother and they each had iwo, and so that gives you four great grandfathers and lo and behold you! Here, thlnka I, why, $ If It comes to that, you could have eight fy treat. crronf frrnndfathers: and JUSt don t go on, for even If you draw a diagram it's something awful, you get bo mixed, and wouldn't it be awful If you did have eight to give Christmas presents to each $ year, let alone the uncles and aunts and ." . . . . .. 1 . ...lh cousins wmen wouia come munis them? , Be all this' as It-may, we wish Erwln the best of luck and hope Pershing will realize that ho is getting one fine Ameri can citizen In this recruit to the colors. I HEAR the Reed Morgans have come back from a trip through tho Great Lakes and are going to spend the next S lew weeks at their Chestnut Hill home. Thev hnv n invnlv house out there, ana ,, U about as cool there as anywhere, U When the heat comes as It has in me iusi. p four Indeed, It ls six days steady, isn't !Xt? $. Mra. Morgan has been Identified wun !no Red Cross at the &movnmivj ,...- vr since It started and nas uono Ttt .work there. She. started a fprkWdlw-to dg-.siirMU ? 55 R a week, and worked for their country. Last summer they had a great sorrow when their little boy was attacked by Infantile paralysis, but with great caro lie was brought through and -is getting along very well, they tell me. TVTOLLY THAYER nnd her father are "-'J- going up to Niagara for this week end to see the four Thayer boys, who aro training there. I guess pretty much all tho men who have gono through so far will get commissions now. It must have been a wonderful experience for them nil; though certainly the Troopers and those who had been on tho upider last summer woro already well trained in. Think of It, the members of the First City Troop havo scarcely been at homo all year. They went down to Camp Stewart, In Texas, In Juno of 1916, and though some of tho State's troops camo back as early ns September and October they remained until after Clulstmas. Then they kept up rides and hikes over week-ends, and ln April war was de clared, and off many of them went ln May for, Fort Niagara, and there they havo been and will bo until August 11, when thoy will probably bo sent direct to the great State camps To return to Molly Thayer, she li going to spend ten clays up at Fort Niagara and then go on to camp ln Malno for tho remainder of tho season. Sho will, of course, attend tho wedding of her cousin, Fitz-Euseno Dixon, and Eleanor Pepper, which ls to take place at tho Pepper home In Northeast. IT CERTAINLY is a pleasure to motor on the Main Line now, since Lancaster pike and Montgomery pike aro no longor toll roads. Toll-taking stopped last Mon day afternoon, and this came as a distinct surprise to the motorists, as previous reports had it that the closing would be delayed several days longer, and for hours automoblllsts were slowing down at tho deserted toll gates, only to brighten up and speef away Joyously when tho truth dawned upon them. For more than a century Lancaster avenue has been the highway from Phil adelphia "up State." Old Conestoga wagons lumbered along its course ln ancient days. Of course, as the Main Line developed within a few generations into one of tho most desirable and'beau tlful suburban districts ln the country, tho Importance of this road Increased until It became a link ln the Lincoln Highway. One more bit of witticism like that, Nancy, and you vlll be dealt with slowly but by no means painlessly. THERE will bo a thousand and one week-end parties to record today and Monday, and why wouldn't there bo? Who under tho shining blue would stay ln this city in tho heat If they could possibly "beat It" to tho shore orany whero else? Of course, Fort Niagara calls loudest these days, and I hear that Mrs. William Taylor ls going up to see William and Clem, who are at the train ing camp, and Mary Paul ls going to stay up there with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Theodore Paul, who has a small cottage for the summer, that she might bo near Ted. Mrs. Paul was Adeline Pepper, you remember, and EleSnor has been stay ing with her for a while, but hag now loft to get a few things more together for her trousseau, for August 18 ls draw ing nigh. Three weeks Trom today, you know! R. AND MRS. GEORGE W. CHILDS DREXEL expect to leave soon for their summer home ln Islesboro, Me. Mrs. Drexel'a work with the Red Cross has kept her home a month later than usual this year. She has .certainly been wonderful ln all she has so unselfishly done for the cause of our country. It was she who started the Women's League for National Preparedness, which has since been merged into the Red Cross, and she has worked unfailingly and untiringly for It. The Van ltensse laers expect to visit the Drexels during the summer.

Mhlrlev Illoodgood, with whom ho la In love, tries to keep htm frum seeing Mrs. Challoner, but he insists that he must not shirk hla duty. I'HAVTKK V (Continued) SHIRLUY shook her head. "Miriam Challoner Is ill, much too 111 to see any one. Sho gavo orders " "Kxcuso me, but Mrs, Challoner Is not too 111," persisted Murgntroyd, "to walk from room to room My men have Hcen her through the windows. I wish you would say to her, please, that I must t.ee her." Seeing the futility of resisting further, Shirley mado a movement to go. "Oh, I can't tell her!" sho cried. "I'll ring for Stevens." She rang. "Stevens," she said, as ho camo Into the room, "will you tell your mistress Oh, I can't I can't," sho faltered. Murgatroyd stepped Into the breach, "I am the prosecutor of tho pleas," he said to Stevens; "tell her that, and that I'm sorry to disturb her, but I must nee her." The servant left the room. Shirley sank Into a chair and half covered her face with her hnnds. "I don't believe I never will bellevo that X.avvrence did these things!" There was a pause, After a moment Murgatroyd remarked, half aloud: "There la but one way to reform a man llko that " The prosecutor did not finish, for standing In the doorway was Miriam Challoner, palo as a ghost, a look of Interrogation In her eyes. Shirley ran quickly to her. "Miriam, dear, I didn't send for you !" sho cried, placing an arm around her, "It wan Mr. Murgatioyd ," Mrs. Challoncr bowed and smiled faintly. "I believe I have met Mr. Murgatroyd before," she said with a graco peculiarly her own, Murgatroyd returned her greeting with: "I need not assure you, Mrs. Challoner. that this Is a very painful duty." Mrs. Challoner moistened her lips and held herself together with great effort. "Please don't apologize." sho said gently. "I understand. It may be easier for me to have some one whom I've mot." Murgntroyd bowed, and, placing a chair for Mrs. Challoner, begged her to be seated. "If you don't mind, Miriam," spoko up Shirley, "I'll leave you now, but If you need me call me." Miriam clutched the girl by the shoulder and cried excitedly: "No, Shirley, stay where you are I want you here with me!" Murgatroyd placed a chair for the girl beside that of Mrs. Challoner; he took a seat opposite. "Mrs. Challoner," he began In a voice that was even more gentle than at any time before, "believe me that I've no desire to give you trouble unnecessarily." ' "Please don't' apologize." Mrs Challoner repeated, holding fast to Shirley, as though she pinned her faith to that young woman. "I shall begin at the beginning, Mrs. Challoner," he said. "I suppose, of course, that you have had the report that your hus band has been found In Chicago?" "What!v Found?" To the great surprise of the prosecutor no emotions other than Joy and relief were visible on the woman's face. "Laurie has been found!" she went on. "Thank Heaven I I'm go glad now he must come back home." "I had thought," said ffie prosecutor. In even, business-like tones, "that the news of his arrest would would have been an un pleasant shock to you I find that the shock Is yet to come." Quick as a flash Miriam Challoner read the truth In the man's face, "You don't mean you can't mean taeya ooweei, , , , aMaVsYastf Miai Jnasl a-ka-aVaWBah-l taavz i .. Kitvjiipmidax. V5 JT' Ihe report was n miM.-ikp. Your husband was not arrested In Chicago " At that rs Challoner ically broke down hno inbbeil Bllcntly on tho shoulder of tho girl IpchIiIo her. "Oh. Laurie, Laurie-, then Mime not coming home!" sho cried. "Most thteo weeks, Shirley, ho's been away'" Murgntrnyd walled patiently until sho had lecovercd, never onco forgetting that ho was the servant of the people. His was a double duty. Ho must iippichend tho guilty, and Mi ilr It its tn kivo the. com munity Ku.it np,.nw of i.it,, murders hail been expensive! luxuries Murgntroyd knew that In this cae lip would bn hampered by lack of funds. "Mrs Challoner," he ,ald with simple directness, "the vvholo suhMancfl of tho matter Is this. I believe wo bellevo that Mr. Challoner ban not left tho Kast, and that hn may Mill bo hcto In town In this liotiso oven." Ho had rctcated himself, but suddenly rose again "In this housei !" Miriam returned with a faint Rhillo "I wish he were, Indeed I do wish ho were " "Mrs Challoncr," tho prosecutor went on, Ignoring her words, "It is neccw-ary that my men, now- whlln I nm here, while you ate here, should search these prcmltcs this house" Shirley Uloodgnod shook herself from the grasp of Miriam; the Mood erect,' her slender form tense. "This Is an Imposition ; it Is preposterous, Mr. Murgatroyd, thnt you should doubt her word I" Miugalroyd was unmoved. "It Is mcossnry for my men to seaich thl? houfcc," ho repented; und not unwln-ly, fur ho well knew that there Is something that lulngs men good, bad nnd Indlffcvont men back lo their homes. Bill Shirley was adamant. ".No. I won't allow It!" sho exclaimed Indignantly. Mrs. Challoncr placed a restraining hand on tho glil, for Miriam Challoner once more held a strong grip upon herself "Seaich tho house If you wish, Mr. Mur gatroyd," i-ho contented; "If you llnd my husband, ilo ono will be more pleased than I" Murgatroyd left the room and returned nlmost Instantly followed by two men MIIey and McGrath. It was one of thoso men a short whllo before who had ttolcn ln through tho French window nnd tam pered with tho letters on the desk." "Vou will search heie first," he ordered; and turning to tho women: "Would you prefer to go or stay" "We'll go, of couise," Shirley Hung at him as she drew Miriam toward the door. "Of course not, wo shall stay," said Mir iam, freeing herself from the girl. Tho men passed in unceremoniously nnd proceeded lo search the room places that even Miriam hnd forgotten about; they overlooked nothing, but silently, quietly, in their business-like way turned every thing topsy-tuivy, replacing things. In the end, ns thoy found them. Presently tbey turnwl to their chief, nnd f-ald: "It's all right, Prosecutor." "Cover the reBt of the house," again ordered Murgatroyd They grinned sheepishly. "That's all done," they answered. "What?" McGrath nodded. "Yes, while ou were talking In here," he said, "wo showed our shields and they showed us through " Ho drew near and whispered: "Wo thought it best to take 'em by surprise; they hadn't no timo to fix things, don't you seo?" ".Nothing found?" asked Murgatroyd, Simultaneously they shook their heads,, and answered: "Nothing " Murgatroyd waved his hand and com manded them to wait for him at the door, ending with: "I won't bo a minute." And turning to Mrs. Challoner. he said a trifle apologeti cally: "My men tell me that your husband Is not In the house. One thing more, how ever; If you know where Mn. Challoner "She doesn't !" snapped Shirley. "If you know where ho Is," Murgatroyd repeated, Ignoring the Interruption, "If you havo any means of communicating with him " "She hasn't!" onco more Interposed the girl sharply. "I want you. to use your Influence with him to make him come back. His flight amounts to n moral confession of crime. He has nothing to gain, you see," he went on to explain, "by staying away. Un Is bound to bo caught; he cannot escape!"' "I want him to come back," stam mered Mrs. Challoner. "Yes, yes, he must como back and face this charge. You you don't think him guilty, Mr, Murgatroyd?" Murgatroyd walked toward the door. If he had spoken his mind he would have answered In the ndlrmatlve, but Instead he compromised with: "I don't know," and abruptly left the house. CHAPTEIt VI "Brutes every one of them and Billy Murgatroyd the' worst of all !" The ex clamation fell from Shirley Bloodgood's lips, Miriam Challoner had been resting her head forlornly on her arms as she sat at a table, but on hearing the young woman's bitter remark she raised her head and smiled a wan smile. "Mr. Murgatroyd?" The tone was one of surprise. "Why, I thought you liked him, Shirley?" The girl hunched her shoulders expres sively. "You have things badly twlsfed, Miriam he likes me." And suddenly rising to her feet, she clapped' her hands Impulsively. "Oh, Miriam, I almost, forgot I've good ,)eWs good news for you I" Then she ran swiftly toward Mrs. Challoncr and swiftly back again to the window, "No, they're out of sight almMt " A . -taw . ? . .!
