Chapter Two
In The Editorial Room
RAY WARREN gulped down bis
second cup of coffee end folded
the rest of the egg into sandwich,
while his mother looked on disap
provingly.
He was dark, handsome boy,
rather slight as yet and full of
promise, if his high spirits could be
turned Into the right channel. He
was studying hard now for a scholar
ship which would take him away to
college and a pre-medlca! course.
Watching him eat and read. Sally
thought he might as well be eating
sawdust as biscuits and omelet.
"You ought to eat more. Ray " Mrs.
Warren complained. "You need plenty
of good food while you're growing"
"Don't worry about me. Mom, I'm
always stuffing from morning till
night- I've got my pocket full of pea
nuts now. So long"
He gave his mother a hasty kiss and
ran out. Adelaide Warren s eyes fol
lowed him adoringly.
"Don't you think he looks thin.
Bally?"
"He's Just growing fast," comforted
Bally. "1 think he's handsome and
fine going to be a good doctor one of
theso days If wo keep nlm on the
track, and a heart-breaker besides."
"I hope he won't marry for a long
time, if ever." said Mrs. Warren sadly.
"Well, I'm going to, and you might
s well get used to the Idea," said Tip
Warren, coming In unexpectedly and
lifting her mother clear of the floor
in a quick hug.
"Tip. you little wretch, let mother
go!" said Sally, coming to Adelaide's
rescue. "Go and play with Dad you
know he likes It."
"Of course he does," said Tip. kiss
ing Robert Warren's bald spot, and
taking away his paper. "How much
money have we made while wo slept.
Dsd?"
"Nona none at all," said her father
with a sigh.
"Never mind." said Tip. attacking
the breakfast with good appetite, "If
no cne handsome comes along, I'll
marry a rich man and save the fam
ily" ,
'Tip," murmured her mother dis
approvingly, but the look she gave
Ray's twin was anything but harsh.
Nobody could ever be very cross with
Tip. who was dark like Ray, but
small and vivid, like some of the
pictures of the Warren women, who
had been belles of Warrcnton for
fenerations. i

"You re not! said her
nother. "Robert, forbid

"If Sally goes up with

e why I can t go up
and lead Tip, who's not old enough
to know better, to that old garage to
take what's left."
"Motherl" Sally's face was stricken.
"You don't you dont think that
about me!"
"Of course she doesn't," said Tip,
pushing back her ehalr. "She's only
mad with me and she's taking It out
on you. By-by "
Tip blew them a kiss and went off
"heerfully. Family rows never
-.v-orried her, so long as she had her
vay.
"Don't you bother with the dishes,'
said Mrs. Warren, without looking at
Sally. "I'm sorry 1 said what 1 did
about you and and that boy. Ton
sure I didn't mean any harm."
"That's all right," said Sally, warm
ing toward her stepmother, for Ade
laide Warren rarely admitted that
she was In the wrong. "But 1 will
run along. I don't want to be Ut
tha first morning." She started out,
then turned back Impulsively
"Mother, If It will make you feel
better, l'U promise not to go up with
Terry any more without asking you
and Dad first."
"If you would, Sally," said Mrs.
Warren, looking relieved. "I declare.
Tip worries me so. 1 know that Duke
Adams Is not a tit person for her to
be with, and she's too young to fly
anyway."
"Tifi was born with wings," said
Sally, laughing," but the rest of us
have to work for 'em."
Enter: The Society Editor
SALLY was glad to leave the house
behind and go to the dusty old
brick building on Main street which
housed the Warrenton Courii r The
clock struck nine as she climbed the
stairs and paused timidly In the door
way of the big editorial office There
was no one there except the city
editor, who had the largest desk. In
one comer of the room.
"Good morning." said Sally uncer
tainty. "Good morning," said the editor
absently, wlthoi't looking up. He had
already gone over Sally's duties with
her and had promptly forgot that
there was to be a new person In the
office. Sally knew him well at sight
and her father had known bin) for
years. Hugh Johnson was a compe
tent newspaper man and everyone
knew that old Mr Wlngate, who
owned the paper., had long since
turned over all the editorial work to
him. Mr. Wlngate -rarely came to
his office for more than an hour
day. and is editorials grew fewer
and less vigorous all the time.
Sally crossed t' the big desk that
had been Miss Delia's. There were
already some Items on her desk, and
there was a copy of the evening paper
wl'h several bits of local news marked
for jer. She was busily pecking at
the typewriter when the sports editor,
Mac McCullom. came In. He saunt
ored over to Sally's desk end watched
her progress with Interest.
"Where'd you leorn to type?" he
asked presently
"11 learned at home by myself,"
said Sally, startled.
"Pretty good." said the red-haired
Scotchman "You're Just what this

MOf course you want to do what
Salty does," said Mrs. Wurren angrily.
"I knew something would come of
Sally's going about with that garage
man.''
"Come, come, now, Adelaide." said
Mr. Warren mildly, "Young May
card's a schoolmate of Sally's and a
fine fellow. 1 can't say I want either
of you two flying, but Sally Is old
enough to pick her own friends, I'm
sure."
"Yes.-Sally can pick her friends.

pleased.
Later tha others came In -a gir

talking about it but they paid UtU

King Who Knew Ills l'eople.
Though ruler of Mononcgro for !
OS years, Nlklta (Nicholas I), reigned
for loss than nine years. Talcing
I over the held of Montenegro's gov
ernment ipon the as&assl nation of
his uncle, Dan Ho II, in I860, Nlklta
ruled aa prlnoo over a land that was
J little more than a Russian protec
torate, It w.is not until the Congress
of Berlin that Montenegro vaa for-
mally recognized us a sovereign state.
In 110, Nlklta Assumed the title
of king, having become "Royal High
ness" In 1900. Much of a despot,
though often a benevolent ono, Nlk
lta took great pains to know aa much
about hla people aa possible, aottially
acquiring a knowledge of the
first and last names of every
male subject In his land over the age
of 30. This comprised a large portion
of the nation's 200,000 Inhabitants.
Losing the approval of hla people
by his policies during the World war.
Nlklta waa deposed In 1918 and forced
to flee to Italy where he died March
21, 1021.
