"The papert are full of holdups. You'd better let me take you home." "Oh. thank you." gratefully. "Ift not far. Perhaps I can get a taxi at the next corner I don't want to trouble yau." "I'll be glad to. I'm just out for a strpll. Let't get away from this crowd," turning into a deserted side street. "Is this much out of your way?" "No, not at all, but this block it always so dark. I was afraid to come along here alone." It was a residential street with most of the houses closed for the sum mer. Helen glad to escape the cu rious crowd, welcomed the quiet de sertion. "Wonder what that fellow was after. Been following vou far?" tolicitously. "Did you show any money or jewelry? , wny, no, i jusi came irom a friend who'e ill.

' ' v ? . . Bet your life, we never fail but it took hard work and lots of it. This campaign, coming at the close of two years' dull business, and hard times, proves that a sound proposition well advertised and well managed can be financed in Omaha at any time. Wifhin two years, or less, we will be in our new home, and then we can all rejoice again, with Ike Miner, Al Sorenson and Sands Woodbridge leading the chorus. It has been a great pleasure and satisfaction to me to be connected with so successful a venture. In years o come, when our boys grow -up and become members of the order, they wilt thank their dads for providing such a magnificent club home for them. . It will help make them better and more patriotic citizens, for no order teaches patriotism as does the Elks. . I can pay no greater trib , ute to the BPOE than to express the hope that some day, when they are old enough, my own sons will become members. ; Sincerely and fraternally yours, P. S.

A gallant, debonair gentle man, a brutal assailant, and now a cowed and sullen prisoner. His hat set rakishlv over one eye was in grotesque contrast to his bowed head and lancing, shuffling gait. At the corner, one of the officers hailed a taxi, put Helen into it and eave her address to the driver. "Here's your purse, ma'am. We've got enough evidence with the jew elry. Sorry you had that scare. We'd have nabbed him before he held you up but that s 'Neck-Tie Ned,' a pretty cagey bird, and we wanted to nail him with the swag. Good night.

Why I Am Going to Camp Sheldon This Year,by'DeV Saxton Last year when I went to Camp Sheldon I did not know more than two or three boys in the "Y" After the camp period wat over I had made many friends and acquaintances and knew over 90 boys. Since then I have teen all of those comradri many timet and we have ttuck together and helped each other, to I am looking forward to camp again thit vear and hope to make many new friends. Then, loo, I want to have lots of fun, and I know I'll get it there. I know that I can play baseball, bas ketball, volley ball, tennit, horse shoes, or go fishing, hiking, frog hunting, or canoeing. Then , I can get to swin three times a day and to top it all off I get three square meals a day. Besides all this I know that I will be in the kind of moral atmosphere that my mother and father would like. And after the 10'days are over I'll know many new things about nature and the great-out-of-doors. The above story was written by Dclmar Saxton who attended Camp Sheldon for the first time last year. He was a canipmate in the cottage winning the greatest number of camp honors last year.
