"I • was of the opinion that this was. my business," Penelope said. "I have—" He waved his band. "That's enough," he said. "I tell you your business— and you take your orders from . me. I'm not being advised by a woman! I don't expect any woman to have the real interests of a fir Prat heart, eith- -er. You come to business to get the wherewithal to take you about, and you'll do that until—" He paused. "Until I get some man fool enough to give me a good time—without my hav- ing to work for it at" all?" It eves Penelope who spoke the words, "I didn't say that, I—" "But you thought it, And that isn't the only nasty thing you think—or say. You have been particularly ob- jectionable ever since you have come into the office." ,'"That's enough—" "It isn't enough; Penelope Graham interrupted. "I'm going to have my say now, I hate you! I think you're a bumptious, tyrannical bully! You've lived the best part of your life in the backwoods, and you think you can come here and treat girls in just the same way as you would niggers just because they happe.nto be your em- ployees." Geoffrey Tranter took the cigar he had been smoking from his mouth. "It seems to me," he said deliberately, "that you are asking for the sack!" "I'm not asking for it—I'm giving it! I give you the sack! I'm leaving! I'm sorry I can't go to -night, but I must clear up one or two jobs, I shall leave tomorrow morning.' And I shall be very glad indeed to go, believe me. I've stood it for six weeks—and that's about as long as any ordinary person could be expected to tolerate you! Get a man secretary. You're not fit to have a girl working for you!" And with her head held very high, she marched out of the room, while her employer just sat there—gasping. AR the same, Geoffrey discovered that she was right about the contract. A cable came in next morning show- ing that those 'concessions had Id - proved enormously,' and were worth at least ten thousand more than the price he had got. Tranter muttered something very nasty under his breath about "rogues and swindlers.' Bit lees than half an hour later bath partners of the firm. with whom he had been dealing were ushered into. his room, They had not received the contract? Might they have it? Gemftrey rang the bell and Penelope came in -with the contract in her band. She knew about the cable that had come this morning, "I did not poet the letter oft last night, after all," she .said. "I thought perhaps, that you would prefer to hand 1t to Mif. Steinert personally. Mr. Steiners glared. He knew . the game was up, for Tranter had taken the contract and torn it up. "So—it's you we've got to thank, is it?' he snarled at Penelope:. "You al - ought to warn her employer and she ways have too much to say! It's not dict ' so as he was aboutto sign the the first time.

It was the first bit of praise that he hact•,ever given to her. Penelope had cleared all up by lunch-time. When he rang the . bell and told her of ,some work that lea would want doing that afternoon, she reminded him that she would not be returning. '"Nonsense; he said. "It le not nonsense, 13r, Tranter.

A FORCE FOR PEACE "The sight of boys of forty-two na- tionalities, different'" in language, creed and color, but wearing the same uniform, and obeying the same' Scout Prontfee and the same Law which binds every Scout to be a brother to every other Scout, cannot but open up to the most unimaginative a vision 01 what may be the ultimate outcome. "Frani this meeting we Mall go forward with fresh inspiration and renewed strength of brotherhood to spread our Movement wider and to make it a still greater force for the peace of the world and the service of Goa"—Sir Robert Baden-Powell, Chief Scout, The Boy Scout Jamboree at Birk- enhead is responsible for the happy notion on the part of Messrs. Bann to include in their Sixpenny Library "Scouting and Youth Movements," by Sir R. Baden-Powell, who in one of the chapters answon. a question often raised by critics and friends. Sir It Baden-Powell writes:— "The aim of the Boy Scout Move- ment is to make good citizens, and for this reason it has been judged un- necessary to introduce military drill. "Scoutcraft is n means through which the veriest Milligan can be brought to higher thought and to the e lements of faith in God; and, cou- pled with the Scout's obligation to the base of duty to God and to neighbor on which the parent or pas- tor can build with greater ease the form of belief that is desired. "I do not think this can be done through 'form fours.' Things More Important than Drill "The simple system of drill wbioh Is suggested for Boy Scouts is merely given in order to enable Scoutmas- ters to move their Troops and.
