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.
