Billy Parker grinned joyously, It would be such .a good joke on Miss Allen to send the letter, Here Hugh bad been in the Philippines for two years. What would she think when she received a local letter in the well remembered handwriting? In his mind's eye he could see her eagerly tearing open the letter in the postoffiee. He would be outside to yell "April fool!" Miss Allen al- ways stopped for her mail an her way to school. There could be no possible chance of a slip-up if he mailed the letter Sunday. He had been looking in Hugh's desk for some fish hooks when he had run across the envelope, carefully tucked away in the bottom of a drawer. There had been a time when he had carried a lot of the selfsame letters to the teacher, but that had been before Hugh began to talk about the Philippines as a place for young men to grow up with the country. All day Sunday Billy grieved over his anticipated joke, and Monday morning he entirely ignored the flannel cakes that he might be certain to be at the postoffiee in time, and went off leaving his mother greatly concerned over his failing appetite. Usually Billy preferred flannel cakes to promptness at „school, He had not long to wait, for pre - sentry Nita Allen came briskly I along and entered the postoffice. As she turned away Billy noted that she held in her hand only a long blue envelope and a newspaper. He thought regretfully of flannel cakes as he realized that his April Pool joke had miscarried, and turned and fol- lowed Miss Alien down the street. There were the usual pranks play- ed in the school yard, but Billy, al- ways the leader in all mischief, stood apart and wondered. He was certain that he had stamped the letter pro- perly, and anyway Mr. Meade would have given the letter to her and col- lected the money had the stamp fall- en off. It was something he could not understand, though he puzzled his brain until the last bell rang and he slipped into his seat just in time. Some one must have been playing jokes on the teacher, for her eyes snapped and about her mouth there played a smile that made Billywant to hug her. Even when Ned Mat- thews sought to pick up a reader only to have it jerked from beneath his grasp by a bit of thread, Miss Allen {only looked the other way and tap- ped with her pencil on the desk, though surely at other times the source of this demonstration would have been as patent to her as to the class. During the lunch hour Billy's mys- tification was further increased, for stopping at thepostoffice, he asked for mail for Miss Allen. "She was expecting two letters this morning "and she only got one," he explained to Mr. Meade. • Buy Safe Securities While tl„e Meeket..i, illw;' ( Our Approved 1 PARTIAL PAYMENT PLAN enables you to buy safe dividend - paying issues in any quantitles— one, five, ten, twelve, sixteen, thirty, by making a small first payment and balance in monthly instalments as you can afford= $6 $10, $20, $30, $40.

BRYANT, DTJN.N & CO 84 St. Pranooie Eaviet Street, IIMontreal. MEMBERS CONSOLIDATED STOOK EXCHANGE OF NEW YORK, "Go on with your April fool jokes," he laughed good naturedly, "She got two letters this morning," Billy knew better, but there was no use asking questions. He had seen her come out with just the one big envelope and that was from the School Committee. The other was not under the big one, for he had pre- tended to drop his cap as an excuse. to look at the under side and there had been nothing hidden beneath, But if Billy had hung about the schoolroom instead of pursuing his investigations at the postoffice he would have seen that Mr, Meade was right, for on teacher's desk was the envelope he had dropped into the box, and for the J.Oth time teacher, with glowing cheeks, was reading the note. `•I have not the courage to speak," it ran, "but I am coming back Mon- day an the 4.38. If your answer is `yes' will you meet me at the train.. If you are not there I shalt know the insurer is `no,' but if you can find it in your heart to love me, dear, please be there to greet me. The others think I am coming on the night train and we shall have a chance to walk home alone." The explanation was very simple. She had slipped the envelope inside of the folds of the paper as she had received it. Somehow she did not want others to see the precious mis- sive and with instinctive modesty she had hidden it, The afternoon dragged intermin- ably for her. Every stroke of the Clock every tick of the pendulum brought Hugh nearer to'her, and yet the minutes passed with leaden wings. It was only a 10 -minute walk to the station, and she lingered over the compositions, her eye constantly seeking the slow -ticking watch in front of her until at last the minute hand had come almost to the half hour. She put on her wraps and hur- ried down the street. Billy, keeping watch at the post - office, was spending a weary vigil, but her road took her in the opposite direction and he did not know that he was waiting in vain. The train had just whistled as she reached the platform, and in a few minutes the heavy string of.'?oaches pulled into the station yard, 'she en- gine panting like some tired animal. She looked quickly up and down the long line of cars until with a tre- mendous acceleration of the heart's bearings she recognized a muffled form stepping from one of the sleep- ers. . "Nita!" he cried as she sped toward him, "this is a surprise indeed." "Didn't you expect me?" she de- manded smilingly. "Did you think I could forget so soon?" Hugh looked puzzled as he fell into step and passed out of the sta- tion. "But no one knew I was com- ing," he declared. "You don't mean to tell me that my advent was anti- cipated?" "I did not tell a soul," she said. "I only got your letter this morning. "But I did not write any one, not even you," was the puzzled declara- tion. Nita laughed. "You don't mean to say that you expect a school teacher with a class like mine to forget this is April Toole" - she. asked. "The bays' were' tormenting me all day, and now you want me to believe that you did not write me that letter. You must have written some one else, too, for mine bore the local postmark." "Seeing's believing," he suggest- ed. With a pretty flush she thrust her hand inside her jacket and presently withdrew the letter. He glanced at the superseription and smiled. "And this is your answer?" he said gently. Her eyes gave reply. "I have the .courage to ask you my- self;now, he said, tenderly. This is a letter I wrote before I went to New York to arrange about my going to the East?" "Then' you didn't send it?" she ask- ed tremulously. "No," he said. "I didn't send it because I have come all the way from Manila to ask you to go back with me.'` I never had the courage to send you this: I think it must be that. young brother of mine. He probably ran across it m my desk" "What can you think of me?" she said with glistening eyes. • "If I told you," he said, sincerely, "I should make a scandal' by hugging you right here on the street. I think you are the dearest little woman in the world. I never had hoped to learn my answer so quickly. "You have Billy to thank for that," she Iaughed. "I don't know whether to thrash or thank him," he smiled. "Perhaps it would be better to do both --in that order." "Huh," mused Billy a few hours later as he lovingly fingered a gold piece, "Hugh says that I'm the April fool. I don't think so. Hes in the front parlor acting more like a fool than I am. I wouldn't just sit kissin' a girl like that. I'd go up to the postoffice and show off before the fellers if I'd just came home." Vowed to Shield Her. He clasped her tiny hand in his. She stood before him quite erect, ane 1 of nature's fairest forms. He vowed to shield her from the wind and from the coldest storms. She set her beau- teous eyes on him, and in sweet sil- very tones she saidt--"Won't an lint- brella do as well?" • Kaiser Wilhelm once confesses that he owned 18,000 neckties. 1 • • • • • 1A DAWN POWDER UOMPOEEO OF THE FOLLOWING INOREW EMT ?AMOK OVER ,9IRSNATt B,CAA& ONAIFOFSOUND krntrts .. PO R The Dust Devil. The loss of thousands of lives in war has made infant life more valu- able, if possible, than ever. Every- thing that can be done to stop infant mortality must be done. The sum. - mer months claim thousands of little lives. There are two main causes— the fly peril and the dust devil, The nation has been educated to the fly peril, and we know that the fly de- serves no mercy. It earries infection, taints food, and is directly responsible for much illness. But there remains the "dust devil," There is much less diaxrheea in wet than in dry seasons, The rain cleanses the surface of the ground, and keeps dust laden with germs from flying about, Take a lesson from, Nature, and freely water the ground outside your house in hot, dry wea- ther, especially where the children play. The dancing dust in a shaft of sunlight is deadly, but unless the wind had swept it up it wouldn't be there. In a house there should ben o dry dusting and sweeping. The dust is t disturbed, and any germs i may i f contain settle an food, or are breath- ed in with the air. Wipe over furni- ture with damp cloths, therefore, and scrub and wash the floors. Keep the dust devil down! This, and seeing that in yards, eta., there is no decaying food, animal or vege- table refuse, to attract flies, or to dry and be dispersed in the air, should mean that many valuable lit- tle lives will be saved to grow up and fill the war gaps.
