How Tom Nevins Set
a Watch on His Girl
By EDWARD T. STEWART
(Copyright, 1917. Weitern Newspaper Union.)
Tom Nevlns won a girl who had been
considered a desperate flirt. For quite
awhile the race stood nearly even be
tween Tom and Phil Hathaway, but
when she decided for Tom she decided
for good, and he had nothing to fear
from his former rival
But Tom did not have that confidence
in her he should have had, and, al
though she gave him every reason to
trust her, he feared Hathaway. Tom’s
business called him away a good deal,
and when soon after his engagement
he was about to depart on one of his
trips he called on his best friend, Ned
Stevens, and said to him:
“Ned, I’ve got to go away for a
month and leave Lena. I have little
doubt that, during my absence her old
flame, Hathaway, will make an effort
to cut me out and get her for himself.
You I know I can trust implicitly. I
wish you would go to see Lena occa
sionally, and if you see or hear that
Hathaway is trying to rob me do what
you can to circumvent him.”
Stevens did not especially relish the
commission and tried to get out of it,
but his friend was intent upon his act
ing in his behalf, and Ned finally prom
ised that if he found Hathaway was
interfering, as Tom feared he might be,
Stevens would do what he could to de
feat him.
Tom went on his trip, and the first
time Stevens called on Lena he found
Hathaway there. When Stevens en
tered Hathaway gave place to him and
took his leave. Ned showed by his
manner that he did not approve of the
other’s presence there, and Lena was
not slow in divining the cause. She
knew that Ned was an intimate friend
of her fiance.
Lena was displeased, first that Tom
should doubt her, and, secondly, that
Tom’s friend should pretend to influ
ence her to cut off any friend of hers.
No one man is a match for a woman,
and two men are worse than one.
Three are bound to make a muddle of
anything that concerns her in which
they may take an active part. Lena
was not long in seeing through the
plan. Whether Hathaway was intend
ing to secure a reversal of her decision
against him during Tom’s absence or
not did not interest her, for she had
given her heart and her promise to
Tom, and she knew that no one could
change her mind. As to Stevens, his
interference made little difference to
her. She wished to show her betrothed
how foolish he had been not to trust
her and to riSt a mentor over her dur
ing his absence.
Tom, instead of being away a month,
was absent two months, and Lena had
plenty of time to work out a little
scheme she had up her sleeve. She
encouraged Mr. Stevens to visit her
frequently, anil, though Hathaway had
no reason to feel encouraged in any ex
cept a friendly way, he was always
made welcome at her house.
When word was received that Ned
would arrive on a certain evening
Lena sent word to the watcher and the
watched that she would be pleased to
see each at 8 o’clock. Tom arrived at
6 and found an invitation to dine with
his fiancee. During the dinner Lena
told him that she expected visitors In
the evening and suggested that he
smoke in the library while she enter
tained her friends. At 8 o’clock there
was a ring at the doorbell, and some
one was admitted. Tom was smoking
and reading the evening paper in the
library. He only knew that some one
had come in. Presently there was an
other ring at the doorbell, and another
visitor came in. Both were shown to
the drawing room and left together till
the hostess should present herself to
them.
Presently Tom heard a voice that
sounded familiar. He could not make
out what the person said, but it was
spoken in a cutting tone. Could that
be Ned Stevens in the drawing room?
Then there was another voice which he
had also heard before.
“You are contemptible,” said the
first voice, “to show yourself in this
house during the absence of the one
who has the best right here.”
“Not more to be condemned than one
who constitutes himself his friend’s
watchdog, with a view to appropriat
ing the guarded one to himself.”
“You accuse me of that?”
“No accusation is necessary; It is a
■elf evident fact”
Something cracked against the wall.
Nevins rose from his chair.
Biff—the sound of knuckles striking
a cheek.
Tom was about to enter the room
When Lena swooped down the stairs
and caught him in the nick of time,
preventing him from leaving the room.
“Stay where you are, Tom,” she said.
“I don’t wish you to be mixed up in
this matter; I merely wish you to see
the folly of setting a friend of yours
to watch one you fear will take me
away from you. I will send them
away.”
Going into the drawing room, Lena
saw the two men glaring at each ptb*
er, ready for a second encounter. Upon
her entrance she said:
“Gentlemen, after thus offending 1
dare soy yon cannot expect to remain
here."
They both started to leave at the
Mirm time, but Hathaway got out lint
Lena detained Stevens and took him
back Into the drawing room. Latei
she called Tom, and the three stood
together.
Tom’s serious face broke Into a grin,
“Dearie,” said Lena, “don’t ever ap
point any one to watch me again*”
CANTEEN AT FRONT FOR
AMERICAN^BIRD MEN”
American flying men In France are
to receive special attention from the
American Red Cross as the result of a
request for such service that has been
received from General- Patrick, Chief
of the Air Service. Because of the
necessity of keeping aviators over
seas in the very best mental and
physical condition for their hazardous
work officials of the aviation branch of
the service have long felt they should
have more comforts and opportunities
for relaxation than are provided by
the ordinary canteen.
In compliance with the request the
Red Cross is establishing special com
bination mess und recreution canteens
at all points in France where our avi
ators, either students or officers, are
stationed. Extra comforts and atten
tion will be provided for our “bird
men” at these canteens. They will be
presided over by American women of
intelligence and cheerful personality,
whose chief duty will be to create as
much home atmosphere as possible in
the circumstances.
The American Red Cross Is to have
sole charge of these aviation canteens.
ASK THE SOLDIERS.
That the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines are deeply appreciative of the
canteen service of the American Bed
Cross is given ample evidence many
times every day. The keynote of their
appreciation is perhaps best expressed
on the post cards which they send to
the “folks back home” when en route
to points of embarkation. From a
dozen picked up at random the follow
ing sentiments were taken and “speak
for themselves:”
“Red Cross are sure treating us
great en route.”
“Red Cross are sure making It happy
for us.”
“Support Red Cross In everything.”
“For God’s sake never say ‘No’ to
the Red Cross. They’re wonderful."
“Long live the Red Cross.”
“The Red Cross are angels to us the
way they treat us.”
“Canteen service 100 per cent. In
Toledo; fifteen carloads of us well
taken care of."
“Red Cross serving coffee. Oh, they
do so much for us!”
“Do all you can for Red Cross—they
do so much for us.”_'
Marries Her Step-Son.
The strangest attempt yet discov
ered to evade the draft was revealed
In New York the other day, when a
man charged his wife with bigamy,
naming his son by a former marriage
as the woman’s second and living hus
band. At the trial It was found that
the woman had married her step-son
in order to enable him to escape the
draft
AS APPLIED TO INFLUENZA
An Arab fable has it that a travel
er met the Plague going to pay a
visit to Cairo, and out of curiosity
asked this distinguished personage
how many he was going to kill. The
answer was to the point: “Three
thousand. ’*
The same traveler met the same
personage on his return and remon
strated that he had slaughtered thirty
thousand instead of the stipulated
number.
“I only killed three thousand,” was
the reply. “All the rest died from
fright of my name.”—London Satur
day Review.
Unable To Learn Cause of Flu
A Boston dispatch of recent date
says experiments have been under*
taken by the navy department at the
navy hospital on Gallup’s island to
ascertain the cause of influenza and
have been merely negative, accord
ing to a report given out. One hun
dred volunteers,1‘who have been under
observation for several weeks, have
had influenza germs placed in their
nostrils and thrcrats, have eaten them
with their food and some have been
inoculated with serums, but no cases
of the disease have developed thus
far. Increased appetite and more
vigorous health have been the only
results of the experiment, according
to physicians. The tests will con
tinue. _
Soldier* To Retain Uniform*
Secretary of War Baker informed
Chairman Dent, of the House mili
tary committee, that the War De
partment had decided that all dis
charged soldiers may retain perma
nently the uniform and overcoat they
wear when mustered out. Chairman
Dent had prepared a bill embodying
the necessary authority. Previously
the department had planned to have
all clothing returned to the Gover
nment three months after a soldier’s
discharged.
