It WttH the first position Eltte Davis
had It e-ld and necessity bad driven her
to It, Sl?? hail II v*hI with ah aunt
since her parent* |ia<l dl??d. Ml** Hoi*
comb li.nl UOillO mittl) tenements ami
*h?- hud nsglcctcd to care for the In
surance. One night they burned down
mid she waa left penniless.
Eftle found work with a city Ann,
which cuade u specialty of manufac
turing novelties. Among them whs a
small bat)k uned by the depositors of
savings Institutions and /he. duly of
Ettle wuh to examine them.
There were over fifty employee* of
the concern aud moot oitf theiu worked
In large rooms in grou|>tt, hut Ettle
had a room all to herself. At one Aide
was a Jong bench with a running
leather belt which carried the hunks
from another lairt of the factory.
Ettle felt decidedly economical and
her wages at the start were a merely
negligible quantity. She brought but
a meagre lunch and never went out
at noon for a meal aa some of the
\>ther girls did. There were two per*
sons in the establishment only whe
spoke to her amid her Isolation. On?
was the manager, llurry Brand. H<
was a boastful, familiar acting follow,
and Ettle tried to keep 1dm at a dis
tance, for twice he hud ayked her. to
dinner, invitations promptly declined
hy Eftle. The other worked In the
otllw of the plant and was an open
faced, cheery young man. who nodded
pleasantly to Effle every time he met
her, but he had never Infringed updn
t)ie gruciousncs* of her friendly smile
by dallying at the door of heV work
room. He gave himself the name of
Willis Humphrey.
Every noontime Humphrey came
'past the door with a tin pull ami went
down into a back street, returning
with it half filled with hot coffee and
carrying In the oilier hand a paper
bag. More than once even after her
sparse luncheon Ellle hud felt half
famished" as the appetizing aroma of
the coffee was wafted to her senses,
and her Imagination reveled in the
thought of warm, newly cooked rolls.
One noontime the young man halted
Just outside her door, for he had read
h?>r longing upon her expressive face.
"Pardon me, Miss Davis," be s|w?fce,
hut you look as though you envy me
the (>ossessloti of my frugal refresh
ment. It Is that, Indeed, for the coffee
costs only a nickel and the buns the
same. An old lady down the court
prepares them. If you say so. I can
take your order noontimes. All you
will have to. supply Is a little pall like
this of mine and a cup."
Eflle acquiesced In the arrangement
and It led the way to a most pleasur
able noon hour for both. It got to be
so that Humphrey did not carry his
coffee on to his own department, but
shared the same in Effle's company.
They had Just got through with their
modest lunch one day when lirand aj>
peared. frowning, and directing an an
gry glance at Humphrey.
"This is not your department," he
snapped out, "and your being here Is
against the rules."
Silently Humphrey Infj the room,
for technically Brand was in tin* ri^ht.
He lingered outside in the entrance.
'however. as he heard Hi ami say in a
changed. suave tone :
"Well, little one. 1 htive good news
for you. You will have a raise In
wages next week. I have arranged
that. Don't I deserve a kiss for my
good offices In your behalf?"
There was an indignant reply from
Kftle, a Jeering laugh from Hrand and
t hen a struggle. Humphrey sprang
Into the room. He found that Rrpnd
hnd seized Kflie's arm and was trying
to press his lips to her own. Hum
phrey struck out and a heavy blow
sent Hrand to the floor, where he lay
unconscious.
"I did not mean to strike <|uite so
hard," said Humphrey, examining the
senseless man. Then he picked tip a
long pocket book that hud fallen from
the pocket of Hrand. If spread open
the contents, various letters and docu
ments. A certain packet especially
attracted the attention of Humphrey.
His nyes glowed with satisfaction and,
to the Amazement of Ktlle. he trans
ferred this to his ?>wn pocket, .lu-t
then F.ranrt routed up. He began re
\i!tng Humphrey and threatening
Kthe with discharge l'roin empluyniHnt.

JUNIOR RED CROSS
WORKING At HOME
Production of Sound American
Citizenship the First Aim,
Says Or. Farrand.
On the b;utge of ?v?ry n><MM,,er of
the Junior Red Cro#a are the word*
"1 Serve," That U'lu the atowr of
,?thool children ? branch of the Ameri
can HhI Ci4h?k uud Its etTurta to bring
happiness to cnUCtf?T? throughout <he
world
Realizing that the time never wa?
so propitious as right now for teach
ing the highest Ideals of citizenship,
the entire present program of the Jun
lor Red Cross haa been framed under
the very Inclusive phrase, "Training
for Clti/.enahip Through Service" for
Others, Since the Junior R#d Cross Is
the agency through which ithe Amert
can Red Cross reaches the Schoolboys
and the schoolgirls, all Us activity
? are designed to cooie wlthlu the regu
lar school program, and without cieat
Ing new courses or Increasing the num
ber of studies to lend Its uld In vlt&llz
lug the work of the school*.
"The thing that Is needed," says Dr.
Livingston Farrand, Chulrmun of the
American lied Crotis Central Commit
tee, "Is not a perpetuation of the Jun
ior Ited Crqss, but the training and
breeding of sound American Citizenship
Inspired by the true, fundamental
Ideals of sound democracy. One of the
great conceptions In making the Ked
Crdss a contributor to better citizen
ship tn our American democracy Is the
realization that after all the solo hope
of any nation Is with the children of
the country."
The plun of organization of the Jun
lor hed Cross makes the school ? pub
lie, parochial and private? the unit,
not the individual pupils. Mutual flerv- j
Ice, helpful community work such as
clean up campaigns, care of the sick, (
promotion of health regulations, par
tic! pa t|on In civic and patriotic rnove
! inents ? all these creative agencies de
j signed lo translate Into life and action
? the regular school program are parts
. of the machinery which the Junior Ited
j Cross places at the disposal of the
j school authorities.
Graded study courses giving prac
j tlcal methods of civic training; supple
| mented by pamphlets and helpful sug
! gestioiis. are supplied to the local
, schools by the Junior Ked Cross. An
; elaborate plan for promoting an Inter
change of correspondence between chll
j dren In different sections of the United
? States as well as with children in far
; eign lands is being devised and will
take a prominent place in the estab
i I i shed classroom program.
In promoting the general cause of
child welfare, Red Cross courses in
home hygiene and care of the sick,
first aid. and dieting may be estab
lished in all Junior Red Cross Aux
iliaries.
The ideals and the objective of the
Junior Red Cross are embodied In the
pledge of service which the pupil takes
when he signs the membership roll and
1 pins on ids coat the Junior's badge.
I The pledge which hinds together sere
j Ice and citizenship reads':
??We will se*?k in all ways to live up
j to Mils Ideals of the Junior Red Cross j
' and devote ourselves to its service.
I "We will strive never to bring dls
i credit t?? this, our country, by any iin
! worthy act.
I "We will revere and obey our coun
' try's laws and do our best to Inspire a
i like reverence and obedience in those
; about us.
"We will endeavor In all these ways,
j as good citizens. t<r-transmit America
: greater, better and more beautiful than
j she was transmitted to us,"
At the foundation of this school pro
gram of the Junior Red Cross Is a
! great love for America's children.
