The Knitting needles slowed up and stopped, for tho Jolly Ten could tell that there was some thing on the presidential mind. "Girls," she began, "I have been do ing some patriotic thinking lately, and T hnvA enmp tn thfi conclusion that wo nhould each' buy a war savings stamp for the club." ... A chorus of "ayes" went up, and the president smiled mysteriously. "Perhaps when you learn the condi tions you will lose that enthusiasm," she warned. "Wo are nil of us, as vou know. nnRspfued of more or less ability I., . to. earn money. I. therefore, thought it L" would be a good Idea for each of us to oaxrt 15, by our own lnaiviauai enuenvor, tihri with It hiiv n. war savlnes stamp.

Only reggy icniueu on in fores caused her to raise her eyes, and they stared straight across the tabls Into the eyes of Tom C , President Bar bara's ble hrother. Tom's face was a strange mixture of astonishment, in lerrogatlon and adoration, , Poor Peggy wns more flustered than she had ever been in her young life be fore, and the spoon tnai sne neia in her hand dropped to the floor with n clatter that seemed to her oyer-exclted nervee to shake the house.

Sho might hae to go Into the dining room again, she knew, and It would not do at all for Tom to -notice that her eyes were guiltily red. .... Four months ago Tom and she had been the greatest of friends. In fact, Tom had been trying for a month to get up courage to pop the question, when tho usual lovers' quarrel arose, appar ently just to provo that the course of true love never did run smooth. Since then Peggy had tried In 'vain to forget Tom, and lie, In his turn, had foresworn all thoughts of girls in general and of one girl In particular. Peggy stood tense, straining her car") for the sound of tho bell that should summon her 'back to the dining room Shn heard Tom laueh. and the Round brought the hot tears to her eyes. The thought of a dreary llfo without Tom proed too much for poor Peggy. She (led to tho seclusion of tho back porch where sho crumpled In a wretched heap on tho top step.
