The knitting needles clicked furiously and there was a steady hills; of voices as the news of the week was talked over. Barbara, worthy presi- dent, rapped for order. The knitting needles slowed np and stopped, for the Jolly Ten could tell that there was some- thing on the Presidential mind. "Girls" she began, "I have been doing some patrioticthinking lately, and I have come to jlte couolesion that we should each buy a War Savings Stamp for the club." A. chorus of ''ayes" went up and the president smiled mysteriously. "Perhaps when you learn the con- ditions you will lose that enthusiasm," she warned. "We are all of us, as you know possessed of more or less ability to earn money. I, therefore, thought it would be a goon idea for each of us to earn five dollars, by our own individual endeavour, and with it buy a War Saving Stamp. Since a stamp costs only $4 o0 the remainder of our money can be put into Thrift Stamps. "The more original your method of earning the money, the better. Dorothy for instance, makes luscious fudge, I sug- gest she stake some of it up into dainty boxes and sell it to her friends," As she finished the buzz of voices rose excitedly. Only Peggy knitted on in troubled silence, trying to puzzle out a way to earn five dollars. On the way home she appealed to. President Barbara, who promised to help her. Next evening while reading the paper, Barbara came upon a help wanted ad. that gave her a brilliant inspiration. Half an hour later, when Peggy came in, she was still in deep thougEt. "Have you thought of anything yet?" were Peggy's first words. Evidently the problem had been worrying her, "Yes" Barbara hesitated, ''but perhaps it may not suit you." "I am ready for anything," Peggy breathed' desperately. For answer Bar- bara handed her the paper', pointing to the ad. Peggy reading it, sank into the nearest chair. It seemed preposterous, but later when she had thought it over, and Barbara had argued in its favour, she looked at the plan in a more friendly light. So next morning found Peggy knock- ing a the door of an imposing residence in a neighboring town. The lady ol the house Mrs A—, proved to be in dire need of a maid, and a dinner party was scheduled for that very evening to several of Mr. A—s' business friends. 'That evening, when Peggy caught sight of the guests, she forgot all she had even thought she knew abont serv- ing a dinner, and she frevently wished she had not thought, Barbarass plan such a brilliant one. She was certainly earning her $5. A moments breathing space came when she had served the dessert, and she had tune to pause. Some magnetic force caused her to raise her eyes; and she stared straight across the table into the eyes of Tom C—,President Barbara's big brother, Tom's face was a strange mix- ture ot, astonishment, iuterrogation and adoration. Poor Peggy was more flustered than she had ever been in her young life be- fore. and the spoon that she held in her hand dropped to the floor with a clatter, that seemed to her overexcited nerve to shake the house. Under the glaring eyes ,o1 Mrs. A—she recovered it and re- treated to the kitchen. Once in the safety of the kitchen she struggled hard to keep back the tears She might have to go into the dining - room again, she knew, and it would not do at all for Tom to notice that her eyes were guiltily red. Four months ago Toni and she had been the greatest of friends. In fact Tom had been trying for a month to get up courage to pop the question, when the usual lover's quarrel arose, apparently Just to prove that the course of true love never did run smooth. Since then Peggy had tried in vain to forget Tom, and he in his turn had forsworn all thoughts of girls in general and one girl in partic- ular, Peggy stood tense, straining her ears for the sound of the bell that should sum- mon her back to the dining room. But they had finished for she heard them passing into the music room. Quietly she crept into the now empty dining - room, pausing to listen. She heard Tom laugh, and the sound brought the hot tears to her eyes The thought of a dreary life without Tom proved too much for poor Peggy. She fled to the seclusion of the back porch, where she crumpled in a wretched heap on the top step, She leaned 'her weary head against the piazza rail, stifling a sob The tears would come, though, and the filmy lace cap that had fallen un. heeded beside her served es a handker chief in her misery. Above her the velvet sky was pierced with a thousand tiny diamonds, and the magical air of soft summer uight was heavy with fragrance. The throaty chor. us of the toads in a near -by meadow broke the summer stillness, and somewhere up under the sheltering eaves two sleepy swallows were twittering, A door opened softly, so softly that Peggy did not bear. Tom stood above her a moment. Then he gathered her tears slid all into a smothering embrace, There she wept out the whole story, and Tom didn't seem to mind it in the least that his snowy shirt front was being wet with Peggy's tears. In fact lie seemed to like it, When Peggy presented her hard-earn- ed W. S. S. at the nett meeting the Jolly Ten were very cutiouat to know how she had earned it, but contrary to the general reputation of esonranhood, she kept it a secret, and to this day only Tom, 7latrbara and Peggs- herself knew how she oilseed that $5 for War Saving Stamps.

MOM R AL. to THE 000D AND THE BAD There's bad in the best of us everyone knows, And there's good in the worst of us, too, I suppose ; And some of us seem to be worse than the rest, As though we were trying to strangle our best ; But most of us want to be decent and kind, And leave a few people to mourn us be- hind. Some of us steal and a lot of us lie, But none of us ever can tell you just why; We know that it's wrong and we preach against shame ; Yet vice gets a hold on us all, just the same ; But always, it seems, just to balance the sin, We manage to squeeze a few kindnesses in. A skeleton every old closet contains, The ghost of some folly with each one remains, And, if you go prying and snooping about The life of a man, you.can soon dig it out. But why seek the shame, when you'd fi>zd if you would, The traces of deeds that were kindly and good ? A life is a mixture, of good and of bad, According, it seems, to the light it has . had ; And never a mortal has lived through the years But what in his record some sinning ap- pears ; And few are the brothers so worthless and vile As to live here, and die without being worth while, Sterowear Tubes Mr. W. C. Lepard has been in Toronto this week looking up the merits of the Stern Tire and Tube Co, of Canada and finds it very highly recommended through- out the city. The inner tube which goes under the name of Sternwear has been and is doing some wonderful work, but of course, some people go to extremes, for instance,using them till they actually show wear from the road, which no inner tube of any construction was ever intended to do. He has taken over the agency for Wingham and in course of a couple of days will have an assorted stock here in town. There is still a small portion of stock in this t:ompany to be sold at par which looks like a very safe investment. as all rubber companies are paying large dividends at present and there is no doubt but that the rubber business has a great future and for any further information regarding either stock or tires Mr. Lep- pard would be only too willing to give same for the asking.

Mrs, M Martin, makes a very efficient Financial Secretary, showing that the ex- periment of electing a lady to the position has proved a decided success.
