"What is nr h i 1 : "What is It?" she echoed sar donically as I entered the room. "I should think you'd have some concern 'over a child as sick as this one threatens to be. But In stead of that you leave him to other people, and rush orf aa if you were possessed. What in the world were you doing so long?" Katherine's face was turned - away from my mother-in-law, and as I saw her lips twitch in humor ous appreciation of the older wo man's absurdity,. I felt my rancor, at her peremptory and arrogant manner dissolving . into amuse ment, which I was canny enough not to betray.3 -' t ; "I had something to attend to about that little matter over there," I said,1 investing words with as mysterious an air as I could manage. "I'd like to speak to you about It later." I managed to throw a significant glance at Mrs. TIcer and Katie without their seeing it. Katie Is Diplomatic. ! "Oh!" said my melodrama-lov ing mother-in-law with an air of complete understanding and a tone much modified. Then she called 8har ply: ) v : "Katie!" I "Yes., Madam Graham," Katie replied in the phraseology which ny mother-in-law laboriously has taught her but which from Katie's lips sounds so absurdly like an oath that Dicky generally chokes and seta .out of the room when Katie shows off her lesson. : "There's no 'use of your stay ins here any -longer. You and Mrs. Ticer would better get up stairs again. The child's all right now" , .- . . I mentally remarked that either Junior's condition must have im proved miraculously in the last five minutes, or that his grand mother had much exaggerated his illness when she summoned me back to his side. Then with a sudden realization that garrulous Katie must not be left alone with Mrs.-Ticer until I had an oppor tunity to caution her. I said quickly: .: '. ! .... "Just a second. Katie. Will you come into tne , aining room ,wun me please?" . .' I managed another meaninc glance toward my mbther-in-law. whic evidently had lis desired ef fect, for she, made n'o protest as Katie followed me into the dining- Special For Saturday Only Assorted Cocoanut Carmels 29c LB.

There is a certain in dividual living in Salem with such a record only instead of its be ing a mere man. it's a woman. Yes, sir, a member of the weaker sex, so-called, and the "war" in which this woman has been con stantly engaged for three whole deces. Is not the bloody kind history tells of. but it is known as the "salvation war," and it Is the kind which reconstructs and re habilitates men and women, as well as other things. . The woman's name is just plain "Mrs." Smith to those who don't know her : intimately, while over on State street where the Salva tion Army holds forth and where, by the way. the above mentioned "salvation war" is being waged as they say, In season and out of season Mrs. Smith is given the endearing, term of "Auntie," which she has been called for years by old and young alike. f "Auntie" Is of somewhat darker hue than her brother and sister Salvationists, but with those. peo ple mere "skin color" matters not one iota there's no such thing as creed, color or race, with the Sal vation Army, which recognizes the whole human family as children of a common Father. The human "soul" is the thing' that counts always, and "of course it must be "white,", the way the Army be lieves and teaches it can be. Her fellow and sister comrades be lieve. Auntie Smith's soul has been hence the place of esteem she holds In their 1 hearts. . - ..Captain Pitt, in charge of the local Army, thinks a faithful Christian warrior of Auntie's type should be given the honor that is due her, and has therefore decided to hold a public reception in cele bration of Auntie Smith's 30 years of service. This will be held at the local hall at 241 State street, Saturday night at 8 o'clock. ' The Army's official "long service badge," bestowed on those who serve in its ranks 20 years or more, will.be publicly pinned on Auntie Smith. The public has a cordial invitation.

Katie had agreed enthusiastically, and I knew from my mother-in- law's unexcited manlier that the girt had kept her word so far. But also knew that left alone with Mrs. Ticer, and the Inhibition con cerning Junior; removed, Katie could not resist pouring forth the talc of her "Jeem's" adventure I Say Notings.? I had no intention! of barring her from that' pleasure, but I thought I knew a sure method, of preventing any mention of Jim's being bound and gagged, the clue which might lead to the knowl edge of Harry Underwood's aid in the escape of the bootlegger. "Katie," I said impressively, when I had drawn per into the dining room, "you wouldn't like to have anybody make 'fun of Jim, would you?" , J "I Bboost like to see!" she re sponded, bristling. "I shoost keel, dot's all." "You won't have body, Katie," I smiled involute tarily,, "all you'll hate to do is to be careful when you tell Mrs Ticer or anybody else about to night." , "Vot you vaant me to say?" she queried. x , "Do not say that Jim was bound and gagged," I said. "Jim is sen sitive, and he does not like to hare people think one man could bind him that way, so we are going to say that Jim tackled the escaped. bootlegger, but that the man got away, and that we met Jim com ing back." Katie gave me another odd shrewd look. k "Dot story shoost so goot as an oder," she said, with superb indif ference. "But eet don't make nod in gs by me. Eet take two men fees dot Jeem dot vay, but eef you no vant anybody know oder man, I say notlngs, only shoots vat yon vant.". 1 (TO BE CONTINUED) Rer.
