"You bet we'll stay," agreed Xeal leartily. "If ever I wanted to shake i man's hand until it ached, that land belongs to old Jimmie.

I couldn't think J bout it calmly, much less dream of ' nentioning it. So my surprise was overwhelm- I ng when Jim got home, and Neal i ushed to greet him with a laugh- I H "Hail, Jim the giant-killer! I'm our brother now, whether you like l t or not.

"Phoebe cares for tic—after all, Jim, the way I do for ! icj. We're going to be married."

FRIDAY EVENING, Neal were facing the future so hap ] pily and securely that they weren't afraid to face the past and all the | difficulties that had separated them I for so long. "Has any one asked Jeanie to the I family dinner or told her the I news?" Jim asked suddenly. I had been waiting for this—and dreading it. Even if every One else had forgotten that Virginia was Virginia and that pride was part lof her, I hadn't. I wasn't looking | for a miracle to make her accept Neal joyfully. But it seemed to me Jim was the person to deal with her. So I made my suggestion: "Jim, why don't you go over and get Jeanie? While you're calling for her I'll attend to our festal board have a conference with Angry, I mean. And that will give the kiddies a quiet hour together. Tell Virginia dinner won't be till seven-thirty, so she'll have time to break any other engagement and make herself tine for the occasion." "Good idea. You phone her that I'm on the way," agreed Jim—add ing jovially a word or two that set me to thinking. "Of course wo ought to have Virginia Phoebe's legal guardian—at. the party." "Why, I thought you were" I began touchily. "Surely the brother ought to be head of the family." "Yes. only brother wasn't of legal age when a guardian was needed." said Jim, adding with a sunny snnlc that only stressed his devotion to I his sister Virginia: "Not that I'd 1 have minded stepping aside for Jeanie if I'd been twenty-four to her twenty instead of the other way round. Jeanie has a level head— far more so than mine, I'm think ing." "Y'ou'll have to go some to prove to Phoebe and me that any one in the world has a better head than you Jimmie, my boy." beamed Neal. So, with grins and mutual ad- i miration all round, Jim left us. i When I went in to call Virginia j her lino was busy. On the whole ! I thought it just as well for Jim could surely manage her better face to face than I could over the phone. Still I made a second effort in the intervals of getting out my beautiful new damask tablecloth and plan ning the courses of the sudden din ner party with Angy. A properly subsidized elevator boy rushed round to the florist's for posies. Bertha fell to polishing silver and shining glassware with complete good will and lots of muscle power. I whipped cream and sliced peaches madly and turned out a can of crab meat for deviled crabs, while Angy added potatoes 1.0 her roast and got a fine biscuit shortcake ready for popping into the oven. Then I flurried into a new changeable taffeta of orc"*d and sil ver. Phoebe had made herself .Inc for her meeting with Neal in an adorable salmon pink paulette which she must have fairly jumped into, but which nevertheless mads | Bringing Up Father Copyright, 1918, International News Service Bp McManus RTHE:R nx YOUR TIE- Uqi J COLLX- || W E .

I hummed to myself as I dreamed what a gay and perfect little party this was going to be. Jim strode into the room looking like a thunder cloud. "I sneaked in the back way," he said amazingly. "Where's Jeanie?" I asked. "At home," replied Jim. "And she can jolly well stay there. Only 1 won't have the evening spoiled for those youngsters. So we'll make up some lying yarn about her having gone out before I could get to see her." "Why, Jim!" I cried: "Jim, have you quarrelled with Virginia?" "I'm pretty darn well through with Virginia Dalton and her blooming nonsense," said Jim bit terly. "Then Jeanie won't consent to their happiness," I murmured to myself. j "Jeanie!" repeated Jim. "Jeanie; J Who ever gave her a sweet, gentle | name like that? Virginia Dalton's jas hard as nails. She won't con sent to any one's happiness—that's what ails that woman. Come on in sweetheart, we'll give those poor kids one evening of happiness 111 spite of her. One evening—and, bv jove! maybe a few more. There are ways of circumventing even Virginia." Jim! I gasped. "Jim! I want Phoebe to be happy. But your Jeanie. I don't want you to think of breaking with her." Jim turned to me, and his face was set and grim. It s too late to talk about not wanting me to break with Virginia," he said. "I'm through and she knows it!" Visit of Archduke Is Delayed by Thief Who Steals His Trousers Bv Associated Press. Vienna.

Of this amount it is estimated that $157,742,329 will be sent abroad. Ships have taken up to July 1, $105,449,825 in value. With five exporting months left, the estimated total is conserva tive.

After various consultations yes terday with Allied representatives, including General Gordon of the British Army and Colonel W. 11. Causey. U. S. A., atached to the re lief administration in Budapest, as well as Lieutenant Colonel r.o maneli, of the Italian mission, Arch duke Joseph and his generals called on the Allies in a group. Reports reaching here say that this visit had to be delayed because the arch duke's trousers had been stolen. His attaches had to do some quick skirmishing to borrow another pair, it is said, inasmuch as the Com munists had taken most of the archduke's clothing a month ago. When he visited the Allies he pre sented his plan for a new govern ment, which was tacitly accepted. Representatives of the new gov ernment visited Premier Jules Peidl 1 and other members of the Hun garian cabinet at 7 o'clock in the evening and announced to them that they must resign, it being declare! that they had been unable to keep order and were not representative of the nation. The ministers handed in their resignations within a short time, making no special protest alt er relinquishing office.

In other words the com mittee representing the city does not stand any responsibility. It gets the food on a credit assign ment and pays for only as much as it sold. Mayor Keister was enthusiastic over the new plan. He announced that he will get his food committee to work at once. Big trucks prob ably will be engaged to bring the food to the city. The freighting costs, of course, will be added to the price to consumers but as vir tually al! work will be done by vol unteers this will be about the only charge added. Means Big Saving Prices are not yet available but bacon will cost several cents under 4 0 cents a pound. Similar bacon costs 55 to 60 cents in the regular markets. Lieutenant Boyle also announced that the peas and corn except some gallon cans of the former are gone. There are plenty of tomatoes left and millions of pounds of meats. The bacon is packed in twelve pound tins and plans may be made by the Mayor's committee to cut the amount in ha'ves or quarters. This will permit small purchases. An other arrangement likely to be sought by the committee is to have small families band together and buy tins and divide it among them selves. Sale Through Post Offices Lieut. Boyle also has received in structions concerning the sale of foodstuffs through postmasters. Prices will be fixed by the Gov ernment within a short time and m *df public by Lieut. Boyle with out delay. Postmasters must furnish cash with orders and an arrange ment has been made whereby spoiled ..fH*? 8 not less than case lots, the goods to be paid for or returned within thirty days from their receipt.

While thousands of white employes I were walking out, a large number of ! negro men and women applied for em- I ployment. Officers of the stock yards labor councils said that about 12,000 ne- I groes have been employed by the dif- ! ferent packers in Chicago and that j of this number 3,000 are union men ! who walked out with the white work- I ers. Representatives of the packers de- ' elared to-day that the police on duty in the stock yards were assigned to duty by the city authorities to pre vent race riots and that they were powerless to order the guards away.
