But a friend 1 of ours—Mr. Chandler, you know has been ordered back to camp to- j morrow, lie may be going over to France very soon may even be killed before we ever see him again. - ' J She paused at the Irish girl's ex clamation of pity. "Oh. the poor young man. Ain't war the dreadful ; thing, Miss Mildred!" "Indeed it is," Mildred agreed. } "And as it is the duty of all of us j women to cheer the soldier as much as we can. Mrs. liiggins would like j nte to ask Mr. Chandler to stay here ( \to dinner to-night. It is too bad she j 1 cannot come down herself —but she J 1 will feel better to known that 1 have some one to talk to and that our I guest is receiving the hospitality which is his due." Site had littered her speech so I rapidly that she now paused, out of | breath. I "Yes., ma'am." Katie rejoined. "Of ( course'if Mrs. Higgins says so. it's j I all right. But we're not having much ! ■ for dinner. Only cold roast lamb and j i two vegetables and coffee." ! "Is that all" Mildred looked blank, j j "That is pretty plain fare for a | i lighter, isn't it? Haven't we any j thing else in the house?" j "Yes, we have canned soup, and i a couple of apple pies. But those | were for to-morrow's Sunday din i ner." Millie Orders Dinner j "We'll have one can of soup and j I one pie to-night," Mildred said firm- I ly. "There are other cans of soup ! in the house, end one pie will be all |we need for to-morrow. 1 will take I the responsibility," she added, see- J , ing the expression of doubt creep , l into Katie's eyes. It pays to be kind. Mildred re-| fleeted as site went back to her guest, i i Had she not given Katie permission ' | to go out this afternoon the maid ; I might have spoken some criticism'of [ i the arrangements for this evening. [ Tom talked steadily for the hour 1 preceding dinner, but it was largely ! ; ;%out hintself. Mildred wished that I Ihe would ntake the conversation j j more intimate and tell her how much I ]he missed Iter when he was away I i from her. At last she broke in upon his ] discourse. "How long do you sup- < pose it will be before you get hack ' to ['airlands anyway," she asked. "Perhaps I may be sent right over j to France, you know," he replied. "1 I hope so." "You hope so!" she protested. "Do i you really want to run the risk of j getting killed or wounded?" *'l want to do what I enlisted to ! do." he insisted. "I want to get a j hack at the Hermans. Every red- J ! blooded man wants to do that." I Then he stopped, as if suddenly j ' remembering that the man to whom j ' his hostess was engaged tiad shown j ! no desire in this direction. ! "Naturally," he added, "all men ! ' cannot do what they want. But 1 j [ am fortunate in that I am absolutely 1 : independent." In the diningroom the dinner bell ! chimed. When th*re were not reg | ular guests Katie always rang the dinner bell. But if this was not l heard she would come to announce the meal. She evidently did not con sider to-night's dinner a "company affair." Mildred sprang up. "There's the dinner bell!" she said. "Please ex i ctise me while I run up and see if Mrs. Higgins is comfortable. 1 will ! be right down." A Sudden Consideration On iter way she paused at the ' diningroom door. "Katie," she re- I marked, "I am just going up to make : sure that Mrs. Higgins wants noth | ing." "Shan't I go?" Katie offered. I ' Indeed, no. You have to be on i your feet enough without my mak ! ing you run any more than is abso lutely necessary. And, by the way, Katie, when you see Mrs. Higgins, i • do not mention the pie and the soup, i please. I will tell Iter about them i in the morning—but she is so ner ! vous that the least little thing up i sets her at night I want her to keep i her mind quiet." "Very well," Katie assented. Her looting mistress had granted her so j many favors" that she could afford 1 to comply with liar wishes and to | seem as dull as Mildred wished to j think she was. ' "And you can go out this eve ' ning. if you want to," Mildred con j tinned. Mr. Chandler lias to leave ; early, so I will have the whole eve j ning to give to Mrs. Higgins. And," i as she saw Katie's grin of delight, ! "you might take Mrs. Higgins' din | ner up to her ar.d stay there with i hj-y while we are having our coffee. | Tnat will spare me the trouble of | going up before Mr. Chandler leaves , —and will get the dinner out of the j way so you cam wish your dishes early. But remember do not let Mrs. | Higgins talk too much. It is not | good for her." Mildred ran upstairs, congratu- I lating herself on her wonderful re i sources resources of which she ! had not been conscious until the need j of them had forced her to draw upon i them. I "1 would make a good actress," | she muttered. I "Well my dear.' Mrs. Higgins look ed up as she entered, "why aren't I you at dinner?" I am iure I heard the ' bell ring. Did your friend come ail ! right?" | "Yes but 1 just want to make HATtRISBURG TELEGR3PH j sure you are comfortable. Katie j I will bring up your''dinner before I j long. And. by the way." she liur- 1 I rieil on. "Tom Chandler came in a j while ago. And 1 have asked him . Ito stay and have dinner hero. He ; has to go back to camp to-morrow, j It seeing the least I can do." Mrs. Jtiggins gasped. "But with- j ! out a chaperone, my dear!

Last Tuesday tlie bill received jio votes—lo4 being necessary to pass | a measure in the House. There were sixty-seven votes against the nieas- 1 i ure and forty were absent. | Since last Tuesday there has been j a scurrying on the part of some niein- I bers to remedy their standing with i their constituents. Governor Sproul j4s said to be displeased with the ac j tion taken on the bill; patriotic soci ! eties have been active and the Patri i otic Order Sons of America men ure j using the telephone, telegraph and | mails to bring pressure to bear on | those who voted against the Ameri !; can measure or else ran to the cloak j rooms to avoid going on record. The ■ activity of those interested in the i passage of the bill is not directed so much against those who voted against j the measure as against the others j who took the "not present" route to ; get away from the roll call. | Members arriving last night and i this morning say they look for the ( bill to be passed when the reconsld- I eration effort is made. It will then j go to the Senate where Representa ■ tive John G.

The league won a big vie j tory when the National Prohibition i Amendment was ratified and at that j time had six votes to spare in the I House—the resolution receiving 110. ' There is some talk of the liquor in ! terests making a hard tight on the | F'ox enforcement acts and the anti dry element claims votes enough to | defeat the enforcement measures, it i is also rumored that Representative ! John W. Vickerman. of Allegheny i county, dry leader in the Legisla • ture, will present some legislation : | along the lines of specific enforce \ | ment.
