| THE REUNION
1 By E. 6. SANBORN.
8 =1
sL. Somewhere
in the White mountains,
nestled among the pines, is a resting
camp erected for our heroes. To this
place young Lieut Irwin Kittredge
was sent by his physicians to stay
until he had fully recovered from his
nervous condition.
Irwin was very energetic, and the
long, weary days of doing nothing began
to wear on him. In the years be
P- fore he had Joined the army he had
made paintings, so to while away the
long honrs he took lengthy strolls, always
carrying his artist's outfit with
him.
It was a windy: day that Irwin went
to a distant peak, which he had been
planning to visit ever since coming to
the wayside camp. He reached there
early in the afternoon and had been
, painting for nearly an hour when suddenly
a sharp breeze blew some of his
papers down the mountainside. As
these were some of his most treasured
works he picked up his painting materials
and rushed after them. Swiftly,
but cautiously, he made his way
down the mountainside, searching to
the right and to the left with a keen
eye. He became discouraged and wa5
. about to give up in despair when he
*ame to the foot of the mountain without
finding his lost treasures. He decided
to go back to camp. He had
: * gone but a few yards after making
??? this decision when he rounded a sharp
bowlder. He stopped with a start
when he spied sitting on a fallen tree
trunk a faiif young lady.
r His papers were forgotten. At first
. he was too surprised to say a word,
but soon pulled himself together
enough to doff his cap. When and
where had he seen this girl before?
Ah, yes, now he remembered. She was

Callus? "Gets-It"
t Will Peel It Off!
Nothing on Earth Like Simple "GetsIt"
lor Corns or Calluses.
A callus, or thickened skin on the
sole of the foot, which often makes
walking a misery is of the same nature
as a corn. "Gets-It'' removes it
as easily as it does the toughest corns.
By using a few drops of "Gets-It" on
the callus, you will be able to peel it
off with your fingers, in one complete
oiece just as you would a banana peel.
It leaves the skin free and smooth as
though you never had a callus. You
need no rrtore fussy plasters, sticky
tp,pe, "packagey" bandages, knives or
scissors for corns or calluses. "GetsIt"
is the national corn remover, the
biggest on earth, used by millions. It
never fails. You'll work, play and
^ dance at ease in spite of corns.
"Gets-It," the only sure, guaranteed,
money-back corn-remover, costs
but a trifle at any drug store. MVd by
E. Lawrence & Co., Chicago, 111.
Sold in Lexington and recommended
as the world's best corn remedy by
Harmon Drug Co.

I After the first surprise of the meet- [
l (ing the two young people had a very >
i animated conversation. Helena Ber- j
| wick told how she and her chum had j
| worked at the canteen in France and i
were about to return to their old posi|
tions when the chum suggested their j
! going to visit the White mountains, j
; She also said that they expected to ,
] leave the mountains within the week.
Irwin told of his experience since j
j leaving the little town of Moutiers. !
j How he was wounded and of his or- j
| ders to go to this rest camp for a com- !
; plete rest cure. He added that he !
| was so much better that he thought |
! he would be able to leave within a few i
; days.
The lieutenant and Helena were so j
! deeply interested in their talk that !
they had failed to take notice that |
| the sun had sunk behind a bank of ;
j clouds and that a severe rainstorm !
| was brewing. When they stopped a j
minute they started up in astonish,
ment. Before they could get to the
j hotel where Helena was spending her
j days the rain came down in torrents. \
! Helena went to her room, and Irwin j
i back to camp, but not before he re- j
i ceived a promise from his friend that
she would go for a ride the next day. j1

; ful, and the two had a most enjoyable ;
| trip. This was not the last one, how- ,
: ever, before the girls went home.
Several months passed, when Helena
received an invitation from her chum
to come to a party which was to be I
given to her brother a week later 1
when he arrived from overseas. She ;
gladly accepted the invitation, and j
there was a great amount of fun get-11
ting ready for it. During the excite- j j
ment Eleanor had forgotten to men-! I
tlon that her brother was bringing a
friend with him.
The girls went to meet them. The
train pulled into the station, bringing
with it two well and happy boys. The
brother rushed to his sister, catching
her in his arms, both forgetting for a
time the other two, until a sharp exclamation
from Helena roused them.
Turning quickly they saw that Helena
and Irwin knew each other well.
"Why, Helena, do you know my i
I brother's friend?"
I "Irwin, you old scout, you never told
me of any girl," came from the;
brother. .
"Well, you see," replied the young ;
6oldier, "Miss Helena and I met first \
in a canteen in France; then later in ,
i the White mountains; and now, as a j
strange coincidence, we meet again in j
my old pal's home town."
The young folks, when they could ;
stop talking long enough, went to their j
home, and that evening the young peo- j
pie had a very pleasant time. Helena
went to bed tired but happy that eve-;
nlng. for had not Irwin said some very j:
wonderful words that night? jJ

What Wes Ctu.
Wu Whittle, a teamster down to
Lewell, Ark., was so patriotic during
the fall of 1918, before the Hun was
finally vanquished, that he put a
mortgage on his team and wagon for
$50 and bought War Savings Stamps
in his desire to do his duty by the
government. Some thought Wes was
doing more than his financial strength
warranted. But he just went down
into the woods, cut up fuel and sold
it and the mortgage was soon lifted.
) Now Wes is buying more stamps, because
he realises their value and finds
he can save.

Crow Demanded Stamps.
Clean up day on the battleship New
Jersey means something more than
hard work to the gobs on board that
craft. It means a decided addition to
the ship's fund that is drawing interest
in the form of War Savings
Stamps. While the war ship was
anchored in Boston harbor recently,
the erew gathered up all the obsolete '
sn.p 5 nttings, cast off jumpers and
other clothing, books and papers and
sought out a junk dealer. The dealer
was willing to pay cash for the junk
offering but the crew demanded payment

Muat Work and Save.
As a portion of its campaign
against high prices, the National Association
of Credit Men has directed
a letter to each member, declaring
that the remedy necessary to change
present conditions rests in increased
production and stimulation of personal
savings. The letter was sent
through J. H. Tregoe, secretary and
treasurer of the organization.
Members of the association
throughout the country have been extending
hearty co-operation to . the
Savings Division of the Treasury^ Department
to popularize thrift
through the sale o' government savings
securities such as Thrift and
War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Certificates.

Bird Champion Fly Catcher.
The Wilson warbler is the champion
fly-catcher of the United States. His
method of getting most of his food is
to dash out from the limb of a tree
and snatch passing insects on the
wing, says the American Forestry as

other insects which are flitting about
or sitting on the foliage or blossoms of
the trees. You will often find these
little birds in apple trees when in
bloom. Their olive green and yellow
plumage harmonizes with the green
leaves of the tree. The male bird
has a black crown patch on the top
of its head, while on the female this
cap is greenish like the back. This
bird is found throughout the eastern
United States, but winters in Central
America.
