JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
H
I Splendid Meeting at Independence Hall Nancy Wynne Speaks
of the Death of Lieutenant Savage "Over There."
A Coming Financier
t'OOMB sight last night, wasn't It, when
the forty-odd thousands assembled at
-Independence, Square after parading
through various parts of the city? It
r?Was most patriotic and enthusiastic, and
tthe unique Idea of having the Liberty
Sfiell tapped forty-eight times during the
atnglng of the "Star Spangled Banner,"
j though not exactly harmonious, was quite
a success and added to the general good
. feeling and thrill of the occasion. Mrs.
Jfitotesbury .tapped the bell during the
ringing.
is There were lots of prominent pepple
; there', and altogether, as I remarked at
the beginning. It was one wonderful sight.
And the slneincr the community sinslng
f tvKt,
or the National Anthem. It was tines
'Have you noticed how much the com
munity singing has improved? People are
really SINGING. They are not merely
humming and coming out strong on "Oh,
"ay, does tha-at star span-guled ba-a-a-a-ner
yet wa-ave o'er the la-and of the
fr-ee-e and the ho-ome of the brave! " They
are using the words all through and they
can tackle all four stanzas If necessary;
and what Is more, sing them through.
We've always loved our national air and
been mighty quick about rising for It, but
I tho words, you will admit, are rather a
mouthful and you do feel proud when you
know them and don't have to sing "tum-tl-tum"
or "la-la-la."
Of course, you learn them when you go
to school; but then you don't always re-
I member all you learn at school, do you?
Isnt it funny how things stand out In
your memory of school life and class In-
Intercourse? I remember a sentence In
psychology: "The operation follows the
being." And I remember one girl In the
class could not get It. And she didn't
like it one bit because I kaw It. after an
exceedingly clear and lucid explanation
from our class mistress, while she still did
not understand It.
Il nSVer forget that day, for she spoke
up and said; "No, I don't see It, and I
don't believe Nancy does, either." Where
upon Nancy arose In her wrath and re
marked very politely, "Margaret, you're
another!"
It almost broke up the class, and our
much-loved teacher reproved Nancy for
her heated accusation by saying, "Oh, my
dear, do not talk so! That's worse than
wicked; that's vulgar."
Tha"t happened mnny years ago, of
, course, but Nancy has never forgotten
that maxim of psychology and common
sense, too, for that matter.
i
T71VEUT day brings In news of the death
i- or wounding of some one we all know
well, does It not? I saw Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph D. McCall and Lenore Just a day
or so ago, and they looked so sad, but so
brave. The were perfectly deyoted to
Howard, whose death was reported about
two weeks ago. And there are Mr. Bullitt
and Jean nnd Logan, Jr., and his wife.
No definite news yet about Richard,
though three letters came dated after the
news of his death.
Now on Monday came the news of fh
Ldeath of Arthur Savage, one of the sons
Of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chauncey Savage,
Of Gravers lane, Chestnut Hill, r brother
of Marian Savage, who camo out shortly
before the war, and a nephew of William
Lyttleton Savage and Albert Lyttleton
Savage, of this city, and of Mrs. Joshua
Howell.
All the Savage men have gone to
Princeton, and there are Ave of them
you know Charles C, Jr., Henry Lyttle
ton, Ernest and William, besides Arthur
I .And besides Marian there are two little
lsters, Pauline and Grace. Three others
rf.the brothers beside Arthur are In the
"Btrvlce.
It is quite an ideal large famllv and
I .they are so attached to each other. This
orrow must be very great for them. I
understand there are no particulars about
jpa death as yet.
ll"VOU may thlnk yu can set ahead of
these small kiddles, but you hnri btit
I Jtot try it, for the first thing you know
'tney may doubt your lofty intentions.

and small brother throw papers and such
thing about the place.
And then little sister, who Is too voiino-
to understand that she must not throw
tnings rrom her coach, sometimes (in fact
faulte often) adds to the gayety of nations
I by littering the nursery floor and the
ruen pain wun toys and bits of paper.
(For if small sister can get hold of a
I piece of paper she "Just loves" to torn- u
to pieces.) That's all very well nnrt niL-,.
.always clears up the' things he has thrown
nout very willingly; In fact, he even aids
,Od abets Bobble In picking tjd h'ls w

wny sister can't be taught to stoD flrlmr

and' "the other day, without thinking, she'
aid, "I'1I give you a penny, dear, every
imio juu jut up me tnings sister fires
J around."
XNext day Dicky came into the room
limning broadly and remarked, "Muvver,
'you didn't give me the eight pennies you
'we me."
,-, That was going some, as at that rat
Picky would be getting very much over
paid for his work. And though salaries
are' going up In munitions factories and
scentlal war Industries, one has to draw
tthe line somewhere. Thinking to appease
jjito and even please him more she said,
That's true, dear, and so If you will clear
fplf 'the path of those pieces of paper and
rftives mother will give you a nickel,"
j Off went Mr. Dicky, delighted. "That's
iali. right," thought mother, "and then I'll
.explain that Is was not to be u penny for
'every separate thing and will decide on
Aether form of reward, for I do not want
to be giving htm money this way. And
M'U think, a five-cent piece is wonderful'
Eite'set, far better than eight little pennies."
Bfi--. 1L .. . . -. ...
a 3Pt pwiaev recKOfiea. ' wyona aetvc
knowledge, for at that moment Dicky was
tolling eagerly upstairs. He appeared In
the doorway, flushed but triumphant.
"I did It, muv," ha, said, "and now you
owe me thirteen cents, don't you?"
Needless to say, mother came across.
That young man will be a financier some
day, you mark my words.

AMERICAN SUPPLIES
HAVE SAVED SWISS
Without Them Many Would Have
Starved, Writes Alsatian
Refugee
Food sent by the United States to Switz
erland saved many people of that country
from starvation.
Word to this effect was received today by
Mrs. Estelle Abrams, 2433 North Thirtieth
street. In a letter from her cousin, Mrs.
Louise Chwab, Geneva. She. with her hus
band, Dr. Luclen Chwab, was forced to flee
Alsace-Lorraine shortly after the outbreak
of the War.
The atrocities of the Germans, she wrote,
have not been in the least exaggerated. In
the course of her letter she said:
"People In Alsace hae suffered much from
German military oppression, but all hope that
the day will soon come when they will be de
livered by their Allied brothers. Our cousin,
Morris Herman, was captured by the Ger
mans, and although they execute nil Alsa
tians they capture In French uniform, he
was accidentally overlooked and later In
terned In Switzerland.
"In Switzerland living is horribly dear,
and If America did not send corn and other
food tho people here would starve. At pres
ent a dangerous epidemic has spread, but up
until now we hae been spared. Many men
between the ages of twenty and forty die.
There are many complaints that the Gov
ernment does not take measures necessary
to check such an epidemic."

CHAPTER XXIII
Reflections Mirrored and Otherwise
TVTISS MAGGIE was still sitting In tho big
" chair, with her face In her hands, when
tho door opened and Mr. Smith came In. He
was very white.
Miss Maggie, dropping her hands and
starting up nt his entrance, caught a glimpse
of his face In the mirror In front of her Wltl
a furtlxe, angiy dab bf her fingers a' her
wet eyes, she fell to rearranging the ases
and photographs on the mantel.
"Oh, back again, Mr. Smith?" she greeted
him, with studied unconcern.
Mr Smith shut the door nnd advanced
determlnodls.
"Mls Maggie, I've got to face this thing
out, of course. Even If I had made a botch
of things nt the very start, It didn't help any
to -to run awny as I did. And I was a
coward to do It. It was only because 1 I
Hut never mind that I'm coming now
straight tn the point. Miss Maggie, will you
- marry me?"
The photograph In Miss Maggie's hand fell
faco down on tho shelf Miss Maggie's
fingers caught the edgo of tho mantel In a
convulsive grip. A swift glance In the mirror
beforo her disclosed Mr. Smith's face just
oer her shoulder, earnest, pleading, and still
ery whlt. She dropped her gare, and
turned half nwa She did not want to meet
Mr Smith's eyes Just then. She tried to speak,
but only n half-choking little bienth came.
Then Mr Hmlth spoke again.
"Miss Maggie, please don't say no yet
Let me explain about how I came here, and
all that. But first, before 1 do that, let me
tell you how how I loe you how I have
loved you all these long months. I think I
loved you from the first time I saw you.
Whatever comes. I want you to know that
And If you could care for me a little jut a
little, I'm sure I could mako It more In time,
so you would marry me. And we would be so
lfWppy! Don't ou believe I'd try to mafce
you happy dear''"
"Yc", oh, es," murmured Miss Maggie,
still with her head turned ava.
Good! Then nil you've got to sav Is that
you'll let me try And we will be happy,
dear! Whv, until I came here to this little
house, I didn't know v-hnt living, teal living
was. And t have been. Just as ou said, a
(.elfish old thing."
MIrs Maggie, with a start of surprise, faced
the Image In the mliror; but Mr Smith was
looking nt her. not at her refit otlnn, so she
did not meet his eyes.
"Why, 1 nvpr " she stammered
"Yes, you did, a minute ago Pnn't you
remember? Oh, qf course, you didn't realize
- everjfhlng and perhaps you wouldn't have
said It If you'd known. But nu said it and
you mean It. and I'm gla(l ou said It And.
dear little woman, don't you see" That's only
another reason why you should sav yes You
can show nie how not to be selfish "
"But. Mr. Smith. I I " stammered
Miss Maggie, still with puzzled ejes.
"Yes. ou can. You can sho-. me tiow to
make ilfe teally worth while, for me, and
for for lots of others And now 1 have some
one to care for. And, oh. little woman, I I
care so murh. It can't be that ou you don't
care any !"
. Miss Maggie catight her breath and turned
away again
"Don't yc'u care a little?"
The reil crept up Miss Maggie's neck to her
forehead, but still she was silent
"If I c-mld only see jour eyes." pleaded the
man Then, suddenly, he saw Miss Maggie's
tare In the mirror. The next moment MIfs
Maggie herself turned a little, and In the
mirror their eyes met nnd In the mirror
Mr Smith found his answer.
"You do rare a little !" he breathed, as
he took her In his arms.
"But I don't '" Miss Mnggle shook her head
vigorously against his coat-collar.
"What?" Mr Smith's clasp loosened a little.
"I (MrPa great deal." whispered Miss
Maggie to the coat-collar, With shameless
emphasis
"You darling !" triumphed the man bestow,
ing .a rapturous kiss on the tip of a small
pink ear tho nearest point to Miss Mag
ele's litis that was available, until, with
tender determination, he turned her face to (
bis.
A moment later, blushing rosily, Miss Mag
gie drew herself away
"There, we've been quite silly enough old
folks like us."
"We're not silly Love Is never silly not
real love like ours. Besides, we're only as
old as we feel Do you feel old' I don't
I've lost years since this morning And
you know I'm Just beginning to live really
live, anyway! I fee! twenty-one"
"I'm afraid you act It," said Miss Maggie,
with mock severity
"You would If you'd been through what I
have." retorted Mr. Smith, drawing a long
breath "And when I think what n botch I
made of It. to begin with You see. I didn't
mean to start off with that first thing; and
I was so afraid that that even If ou did
care for John Smith, you wouldn't for me
Just at first. But you do, dear'" At arms'
length he held her off, his hands on her
shoulders. His happy eyes searching her
fnco saw the dawn of the dazed question.
"Wouldn't care for you If I did for John
Smith! Why. you are John Smith. What
do you mean?" she demanded, her eyes slow
ly sweeping him from head to foot nnd back
again. "What do you mean?"
"Miss Maggie!" Instinctively his tongue
went back to the old manner of address, but
his hands still held her shoulders. "You don't
mt.an you can't mean that that jou didn't
understand that you don't understand that
j am Oh, good Heavens' Well, I have
made a mess of It this time," he groaned.
Releasing his hold on her shoulders, he turn
ed and began to tramp up and down the
room "Nice little John Alden-Mllcs Standlsh
nftalr this Is now, upon m word ! Miss Mag
gie, have I got to to propose to you all over
again for for another man. now?"
For another man ' I I don't think I
understand you" Miss Maggie had grown a
little white.
"Then you don't know you didn't under
stand, a few minutes ago. when I I spoke
first, when I asked you about about those
twenty millions "
She lifted her hand quickly, pleadingly.
"Mr Smith, please, don't let's bring money
Into It at all. I don't care I don't care a
bit If you haven't got any money."
Mr. Smith's jaw dropped.
"If I haven't got any money!" he ejaculat
ed stupidly.
"No ! Oh, yes, I know, I said I loved
money " The rich red came back to her face
In a flood "But I didn't mean And It's
just as much of a test and an opportunity
when you don't have money more so, if
anything. I didn't mean It that way. I
never thought of of how you might take It
as If I wanted It. I don't Indeed, I don't !
Oh can't you understand?"
"Understand ! Good Heavens 1" Mr. Smith
threw up both his hands. "And I thought
I'd given myself away! Miss Maggie." He
came to her and stood close, but he did not
offer to touch her. "I thought, after I'd said
what I did about about those twenty mil.
lions that you unde-slood that jou knew I
was Stanley Fulton himself."
"That you were who?" Miss Maggie stood
motionless, her eyes looking straight Into his,
amazed. Incredulous.
"Stanley Fulton, I am Stanley Fulton. My
Qod' Maggie, don't look at n.e like that. I
thought I had told you Indeed, I did!"
She was backing away now, slowly, step
by step. Anger, almost loathing, had taken
the place of the amazement and Incredulity
In her eyes
"And you are Mr. Fulton?"
"Yes. yes! But "
"And you've been here all these months
jes, years under a false name, pretending
to be what you weren't talking to us, eating
at our tables, winning our conndence, letting
us talk to you about yourself, even pretend
ing that Oh, how could you?" Her voice
broke.
"Maggie, dearest." he begged, springing
toward her, "I? you'll only let me
out wFs, Him .v. r,,lvfcyiijr. UUW"
In herself to her full height. "
oiyattnA
"I am not Mur dearest," she flamed
angrily "I did not give my love to you."
"Maggie'" he Implored t
But she drew back still farther
"No! I gave It to John Smith gentleman,
I supposed a man poor, yes, I b.-lleved him
poor; but a man who at least had a right to
his name! 1 didn't give It to Mr Stanley G.
Fulton, spy, trickster, who makes life Itself a
masquerade for sport ' I do not know Mr.
Stanley O. Fulton, and I do not wish to."
The words ended In a sound very like a sob;
but Miss Maggie, with her head still high,
turned her back and walked to tho window.
The mnn, apparently stunned for a moment,
stood watching her, his eyes grieved, dls
ina5 ed. hopeless. Then, white-faced, he
turned nnd walked toward tho door. With
his hand almost on the knob he slowly wheel
ed about nnd faced the woman again. He
hesltnted visibly, then in a dull, lifeless voice
he begnn to speak
"Miss Maggie, before John Smith steps
fntlroly out of jour llfe he would like to say
Just this, please, not in justification, but In
explanation of of Stnnley G. Fulton. Kjul
ton did not Intend to be a spy, or n trickster,
or to make life a masquerade for sport. He
was a lonely old man he felt old. Ho had
no wife or child. True, he hnd no one to
care for, but he had no one to care for him,
either. Remember that, please. He did have
a great deal of money more than he knew
what to do with. Oh, ho tried various ways
of spending It. Never mind what they were
They ate not worth speaking of here They
resulted chiefly In showing Mm that he wasn't
ns wise as he might bo In that line, per
haps." The man paused and wet his lips. At tlw
window Miss Maggie still stood, with her
back turned as before
"The time came finally." resumed the man,
"when Fulton begnn to wonder what would
become of his millions when he was done
with them. He had a feeling that he would
like -to will a good share of theni U Rome of
his own kin ; but he had no nenrer re'atlves
than some cousins back East, in Hlllerton "
Miss Maggie at the window drew her breath
nnd held It suspended, letting It out slowly
"He didn't know anj'thlng nfiout thes
cousins," went on the man dullv wearily,
"nnd he got to wondering what thej- would
do with the money I think he felt, ns votl
said todaj- thnt you feel, that one must know
how to spend 5 If one would get the best out
of five thousand
"So Fulton felt that before he gave a man
fifteen or twenlj- millions lie would like to
know what he would prnb.iblv do with them
He had seen so manv cases where sudden
great .wealth had brought- great sorrow.
"And o then he ficd up a little- scheme
He would give each one of these three cousins
of his a hundred thousand dollars apiece, and
then, unknown to them, he would get
acquainted with them nnd see which of them
would be llkelj- to make the best ue of thos
twentj- mlfllons. It was a silly scheme, of
course a sillv. absurd foolishness from be
ginning to end It "
He did not finish his sentet.ee. There was
a rush of swift feet a swish of skirts, the.i
full upon him there fell a whirlwind of sobs,
clinging arms and Incoherent ejaculations
"It wasn't silly It wnn't silly It was
perfeetlj- splendid ' I see It all now. I see
It all' I undeistand Oh. I think It was
wonderful, nnd I I'm so ashamed'"
Later verj- much later, when something
llfce lucid coherence hnd become an attribute
of their conversation, as tbe.v sat together
upon the old sofa, the man drew a long
breath nnd said:
"Then I'm quite forgiven"" ,
"There Is nothing to foTglve"

proves that thr Jaui linve ranted the
Unht to br taken hack to midland, from
which thru have hern banished. When
she visits their storehouse in a holloto
tree, the finds a bap of gold.)
PEGGY had never had so much money In
her hands before
"Thire triust be hundreds and hundreds
of dollars here." she gasped
"And there are a lot more bags In the
tree," declared Blue Jay "That bandit cet-
He stood a moment looking all around
talnly had a lot of cheek using our nut
btoreroom for that useless stun "
"$1000 First National Bank," It said
Peggy remembered the headlines she had
read In the newspaper as she started from
home
"This must be the stolen Liberty loan
money," she exclaimed. "I wonder where
the robber Is."
"He Is hiding In a cave down by the
river." answered Blue Jaj. "Come. I'll show
you."
Blue Jay led the waj" to a knoll from
which Peggy could view the broad, shallow
stream as It swept around u large bend.
"See that hole In tho rocks behind those
bushes. That's his cave and It's so big that
he has his automobile In there with him"
"How In the world did he get It there?"
asked Peggy.
"He drove It down the rocky bed of the
river and right up Into the cave."
Peggy marveled at the shiewdness of
the robber. He had hidden his tracks com
pletely No one would ever think of an
automobile using the river as a road or of
looking for It in a cave. He must be a
very dangerous chap to scheme like that
And he must be a very mean, unpatriotic
fellow to steal the Government's money Just
at a time when Uncle Sam needed it so
much to buy food and guns for his soldiers
In Europe.
"I wish you'd throw that stuff out of our
tree so I rnn show ou our store of nuts,"
said Blue Ja-.
"Tliat stuff!" renpateri pppev. 'flirt vmi

replied Blue Jay carelessly. "I'd ratht
have those bags filled with nice,, meaty
nuts."
"With $50,000 you could buy all the nuts
In this woods, and all the nuts In Blrdhtnd.
and all the nuts for miles and miles around."
Blue Jay looked at Peggy a moment, then
winked one twinkling eye.
"I think that Is a very nutty story," h
chuckled.
He looked so funny that Peggy had to
laugh nt his slang, even though she felt a
bit Indignant nt his unbeller.
"But that rubbish has got to come out
of our storeroom," continued Blue Jay.
'The big nut harvest will be on In a few
days and thon we will need every Inch of
space because we're going to make our
war crop a whopper."
It seemed queer lo hear Blue Jay talk so
carelessly of SUCh a huge sum, just as If It
were only so much dirt to be thrown out to
make room for nuts. But then. Peggy re
flected, Jays nre only Birds and to Birds
things to eat arc far more precious than
sliver and gold.
What ho said, however, flashed a big
thought Into her head. Why not take the
money out and give It back to Its rightful
owner. Uncle Sam? Peggy thrilled at the
suggestion. That would be doing something
big and worth vnlle. The $60,000 might
save the lives of dozens of soldier boys.
But how could she get It back to the bank?
The robber surely would keep close watch
of his stolen treasure If he came upon
her while she was moving it, he might do
something awful, Besides, even the one bag
was so heavy she would be all tired out
carrying It all the way to town. The thistle,
down balloon couldn't possibly lift It.
Then her busy brain hit upon a plan. She
would move the treasure to another hiding
place, hurry back to town, and tell the
people at the bank.
"Peg-peg' Peg-peg!" screamed a Jay
from the river bank.
"Run. run ! Quick, quick !" answered Blue
Jay, pointing to the cave. A man was com
ing out Ho stood a moment looking all
around, then stnrted up the hill toward the
hollow tree.
Peggy had one startled though't. He would
discover that his hiding place had been
broken Into nnd the trensure tampered with.
That wotild alarm him and he would run
away with the money.
Peggy turned and raced to beat him to the
tree
(TWorrote will he iotd how the robber
gets a shock.)
