It was riuitc possible at I'alinertown for-the girls to entertain men occasion ally. Members of the faculty chaper oned by fitting in adjoining rooms). At the 6CI100I play there was always an In formal reception afterward and, nl though dancing was not allowed, re freshments were served, and all the rooms were thrown open, giving the place a very festive appearance. Oc casionally little croups of girls and men stole away to one of the large sororit.v 1 , rooms, and while one girl plnjctl the I piano, several couples would indulge in a surreptitious dance. Sometime the girls would be caught ami punlslieu later, but for the most part no one 1 intruded, as the sorority rooms were the, girls' own. The night of the play Kathleen vas radiant. Several men she knew were, coming to the iiffnir and, known only to herself, she had a very extreme frock to slip into after the play was oer. She counted on making lier ap pearance a complete triumph. A), jeal ousy of Virginia had been forgotten,- in the, prospect of this thing she. conem nlkteil.

She was certain thnt beside her Virginia would look like a. -schoolgirl. Virginia was excited and nervous. She stood for a moment with Kathleen peeping through n tiny hole lu the cur tain and her heart quaked nt the sea of faces thnt stretched away in the dusk Of the auditorium.

By the time the curtail; went up on the convent scene with the two sentries walking up nnd down before the gates. Virginia was panic stricken. She found some comfort in the fact that Ruuny Heron was just as frightened as she! and Runny had two songs nlone be sides the final duet "with Kathleen. Bunny scoffed at the idea of Virginia "fizzling" on the Humbtlg song, "You'll forget all about It as Boon as you're on the stage," she assured her. And Virginia found that this was true. Just as soon as she went on with her pack on her back and her short crink ling black hair standing out all around her small face she forgot everything but the nart. She was Anatolc, the old peddler, aud she winked nt the audience nn she began to cry her wares. She skipped like a sprite aroulnd the stage.

Think of the won derful things we shall see, they said, out there where the great mountains don't cut off your sight nnd keep jou wonder lug what lies bejonil them. Soon came the day when they tiod the road which led to enlistment, to training camp, to tlie cuiwded shin which sailed on its twisting way across the sea under whose smiling face lny so ninth dnnger, nnd finally to Trance, while among the shadows of the stern old mountains, which in those tla.is were more ucd to smiles than frowns, their fnther und sister waited for news of them, now hopefullj, and then with heavy hearts. 1 The 'Rrndilignns lived on the moun tainside, and joung Jack was sqiiate jawed. his hair was of 0 reddish tinre, and his ejes were gray and clent. From his home he saw the Cotters as they passed so blithelj along, and sud denly nnd for the first time in his life- he knew what it was to be envious. Standing there with hands tightly clinched, he envied them their privilege to go to strange lnnds, and to show to, strange people what Americans can do when they rise in their might. Thev thought of him as a slacker, he supposed, and sighed impatiently.

I, Ike llchtnlnir from a clenr sky the news came to, the.ni that he had been called to the colors; and with a shock Of surprise both women noted the vary" lug expressions which flitted over his face as he learne'd that he had been drafted ; und promptly decided that whatever came of it he should not be obliged to nk for exemption on their account. Rut Jack's luck had turned, for the next day IiIh mother received an answer to a letter which she hail writ ten to her brother a long time ago, and he wrote thnt he would be glad to come to stny with them nnd Kitty was given a position as teacher in the small school near them. So in due time .lack Rrad digan followed the Potters oversens. and it Happened that he ipilrkly got into the thick of the tight. The people o' the mountain had chuckled ns they said: "If Rraddlgun nnd the Cotters catch Mght of each other there'll be a fight ivi their own account": but the truth Is that the boys found wnr to be so wholly lie nnil an thing they could ever have Imagined, In Its horror and magnitude, thnt by comparison their strife, wrangling and bitter discord of the pnst seemed to appear as it would to an onlooker a needless and discom forting nffalr.

Then, as after a while the girls started back in surprise. Tim CottcH cried: "Lome, JJod, ami meet tlie Rrnddigans. We've declared an nr mistice." "What's a army stitch?" demanded Mr. Cotter peevishly. Tim laughed lightly. " 'Tis theNtlleli folks patch up quarrels with, I'm thinking." he answered; and then said seriously: "Dad, Jack saved our lives at tlie risk of his imn, or we'd never have seen the vallej again; and we've seen nil tlie fighting we want to see.
