Business wns always suspended
promptly nt one o'clock on Saturdays 1
In the Inw offices of Spencer nnd Boyd,
Notebooks were tucked awny, nnd type-
writer desks wore hastily closed. Even .
Mr. Spencer, tlio Senior partner, usual- i
ly hurrlednway to tlio country club for
lunch rnnd an afternoon of polf.
But thdny lie llnsered at lila desk, nl-
thoujjQMIsB Carroll, his secretary, was
preparing to leave. .Tlmmlo. the office
boy, was bustling about, attending to I
tlio clbsiiijtof the office with bis cus- I
tbiunry Saturday alacrity. For Satur
day was the day when Jtnunle nnd his
best girl, as be called Helen Carroll, i
bad their weekly pnrty the lady flnnn- '
clng the affair, for .Tlmmle's present I
remuneration did not permit of such
luvlsh expenditures for luxuries. Hel
en Carroll's kindness was one of the
pleasant topics of conversation In the
office.
"Where Is It today, Jlmmle?" asked
Mr. Spencer, with an Indulgent smile,
as the boy stood In the doorway wait
ing impatiently for Helen.
Jlmmle grinned nnd answered with
his nfter-buslness-hours familiarity.
"Oh, our car Is waiting to take us to
the hotel for a llttlo five-course lunch,
and then to the .matinee."
"Which menns," Helen interposed,
with a pretty blush, "a lunch-counter
nnd the movies. I'm all ready, Jlmmle.
Come along. Good, afternoon, Mr.
Spencer."
The senior partner sat In thoughtful
silence after their departure. If only
his son had fallen In love with a girl
like Miss Carroll, Instead of with Ju
dith Spalding I
Meanwhile, nclen nnd Jlmmle were
hurrying up the street merrily dis
cussing whnt they would have for
lunch.
A passing soldier diverted Helen's at
tention. She stopped abruptly to gaze
after him.
"Doesn't he look lonely, Jlmmle?"
she said, with pity In her voice and
eyes. "And hungry, too. Pcrhnps he
hasn't any money for his lunch. Oh,
Jlmmle, do you suppose we ought to In
vite him to go with us? I've just got
paid and I have plenty of money with
me."
Jlmmle was nil enthusiasm at the
Idea. Without waiting for nnbther
word from Helen, he rnn nfter the sol
dier and tapped his arm.
"Me and my lady friend want to
know If you'll ent with us. She says
you look hungry," he spluttered excit
edly. "And maybe she'll take you to
the movies, too."
Jlmmle Introduced his new friend
without much ceremony.
"Ills name's Jlmmle, too, nnd he's
got thr.ee service stripes, nnd he says
he's hungry, nnd he'd love to go to the
movies."
That wns the beginning of a most
wonderful nfternoon for Sergeant Jim.
As charming n girl as he had met In his
travels, with golden hair and laughing
gray eyes and a complexion like apple
blossoms and tin Irrepressible young
ster helped him to n precarious perch
on a stool at a lunch-counter. The
young lady, with tender solicitude, In
sisted that ho hnve something substan
tial to eat. but he explained that he
wnsn't rcnlly starving. So he shared
their regular Saturday luncheon nnd
,enjoyed the apple pie and Ice cream
fully as much as Jlmmle. Afterwards
they had gnyly purchased a box of
caramels. Then they hnd hurried to
the movies. There, while Jlmmle gave
all his attention to the candy and the
screen, Helen nnd Sergeant Jim con
versed li low tones, for the most part
oblivious of the silent drama being
ennctod before their eyes. He told her
something of his experiences nbroad,
and of the battle In which he hnd re
ceived his wounds, from which he wns
nlmost recovered. And Helen told him
softly of Jlmmle. the oldest of four
children, and how the lnd manfully
trudged to and from work every day
to save carfare, and carried unappctlz
lng and meager lunches In order to
turn over his pay untouched to his
mother.
At live o'clock they said a regretful
"good-by" In front of the theater, bit
not until nfter Sergeant Jim hnd man
need to draw Jlmmle" aside for a mo
ment nnd persuaded him to reveal the
young lndy's name.
The next Monday morning thero wns
an air of subdued excitement In the
office. Mr. Spencer's son, recently
home from ovorsens, was stnrtlng In
his career as junior partner In the firm
When the young man In uniform, walk
lng with crutches, wns Introduced to
his father's secretary, she was so ob
viously startled that explanations were
In order.
Jlmmle wns too excited by the turn
ol events to do much work that day
nnd It is doubtful if nelen or the new
Innloir nnrtner accomplished their
share. Shortly before five that after
noon, after announcing to nclen his in
tentlon of tnking her nnd Jlmmle homo
in his auto, Sergeant Jim told his rath
er whnt he was doing.
At first Mr. Spencer wns Indlgnnnt.
Til hnvo none of that, Jim," ho said
sternlv. "Miss Carroll Is too fine
girl to bo trilled with. And whnt would
your friend Judith sny? Aren't you
i.ractlcnlly engaged to nor
"When a girl tells you to go away
because you can't take hor to n danco

estly), "I think Miss Carroll is uie nic
est girl I ever met."

fleld, Conn., of the golden wdddlng of
Mr. nnd Mrs. Henry W. Hanlcs, the
fact was brought out thnt tlio Ilnnks

Ingenuity. The first town clock known
In ' this country was made on Hanks
hill by Benjamin Hanks nnd was
placed In the Old Dutch church In
New York city In 17S0. The first
brass cannon and first bell In Anierlcn
were also castj on Hanks hill.
Not only this, but the first silk mill
erected in the United States, In 1810,
still remains on tne old hill. The
grandfather of Henry V. Hank's, who
was Rodney Hanks, wns the first sl!k
manufacturer In America., The lat
ter's son, George R., father of Ileiuy.
continued In the business. All about
the old town are evidences of n famous
experiment in raising cocoons for the
Industry, In the shape of stray mul
berry trees wlilcn have survived tne
severe New Englnnd winters.
Another Interesting fact brought out
at the celebration wns that, although
Mr. and Mrs. Henr HnnkK have five
children and four grnnachthlren, dur
ing the fifty yenrs of their married
life there has never been a death in,
the family. When n boy, Henry ilnnks

where they ran n ranch nnd conducted
n grocery store In the years between
1858 nnd 18G7, moving bnck to the nn
cestral acres during the latter year.

. Migratory Bird Law.
The constitutionality of the federal
migratory bird treaty act, approved
July 3, 1018, Is uphold In nn opinion
rendered not long ngo by Federal
Judge Jacob Trlcber of tho eastern
district of Arkansas In the case of the
United Stntes agnlnst E. D. Thomp
son of Memphis, charged with killing
and possessing ono robin In violation
of tho act.
This Is ono of tho most Important
decisions ever rendered affecting the
conservation of wild life. It sustains
tho right of congress to enact legisla
tion to .Insure the execution of the
tonus of the treaty between tho United
Stntes nnd Grent llrltaln, concluded
August 10, 191G, for the protectlpn-of
