FATAL ENVELOPE By MARGARET D. JOYCE. IVSPWTT1NO NKHIMSK TOKKH. POTA- Kopjrrtght. by the McClure Newupa per Syndicate.) It wns Sntunlny afternoon, and Mnr tliii firnhnm WM on nor wity liomo af ter a very busy morning In t he office Of a InrRe lcnther concern. As she neuron" the now tunnel kIip pouted; "I don't like this new w ay of polnn home." I' nt she later changed lier mind. After rtMisitinR hor fnro In the idol she stnrled ilmvn the slnlrs. Half WHJf down she spied nn pnvdopo which j wns being trnnml"d on bjF the crowd. As she looped to pick It tip. the on- rushing crowd would hflTfl thrown her down if m young snllor 1im1 not enucht her In the nick of time. She half lammorod, "Thank you." Tipping his hat he soon disappeared Into the wait ing train. A second Inter Martha remembered where she was, and hurried Into the train Just before the door closed. As usual the train wns crowded. Martha wal about to reach for a strap, when she felt a light tap on her shoul der. Turning, she saw the same young man who had previously befriended hor. He offered her his sent, which wus gludly ucceptod. After a short ride she reached her destination, a little furnished room which she called "home." It was not until now that she opened the envel ope which had caused so much con fusion. She extracted a ticket which would admit one to the baseball game that afternoon. Now Martini had never attended a ball game, so she then and there de cided to go, as everyone talked n great deal about this beloved paMlmv. She hurriedly ate a meager meal, which was satisfying to her, as the thoughts of attending one of the world series games gave her but little ap petite. As she thought of the happen ings of that morning she decided that It would have been uneventful without the helpful sailor. Indeed, she thought of him more thai once. After a great deal of wasted time she left the house and proceeded to the park where the game was to be played. As she handed the ticket to the man sl,e blushed guiltily at the thought of cheating some one from a good game. She passed through a great deal of rigmarole, and finally was seated In the front row of the bleachers. Five minutes or more elapsed, and Martha, nervously glancing around, saw her friend the sailor, who In re ality was John Lynn, coming to a vn cimt sent beside her. He very quickly recognized her, and -by the time the game started they were ehattlng mer rily. The game proceeded, and Martha found herself cheering as lustily as i.ny of the other fans. She decided which side she wanted to win and ptt 8)1 her strength in yelling for them. Flnnlly the game ended, the score In ftvor of Martha's choice. John received Martha's permission to escort her home. By the time they reached there they were like old friends. As the weeks passed the sailor and the once lonesome girl's friendship ripened Into love. But Fate destined to change this state of bliss. It came shortly. John came to see Martha, it.d he had sad news for her. His ship was to sail for service In for eign waters for the duration of the war. Martha bravely bore the news until he left the house. Then she cried un til her eyes were red and swollen. The next two weeks were occupied by shopping and getting ready for the departure. The night before he went John put a solitaire on Martha's Auger, and as "Dan Cupid" sounded the call to arms, ever-ready John and Martha responded.
