E By GRACE SCOTT. ! =
niiimiiiiiiiiiimmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiJiMff
(.Copyright, ISIS. by Mocjuie

Betty Harlequin uttered :i little cry
of childish delight. A c?in;< I eouio
to town. She stood hefntv the big,
gaudy poster for h Ions Mtuc si inlying
the ludicrous features of the clowns.
Then, with a I inner ins glance, she
went on her way to the office. Betty
loved circuses. Every time they came
to town she was sure to go. Even now
ahe held her hrearh when the beautiful
painted ladies walked the tight
rope or perched on tiptoe on the big
white stallions. ?
When she reached home that night
8t*e told her family, which consisted of
an older sister and her mother, the
wonderful news. The elder sister
laughed at her sister's childishness,
but the little mother only smiled knowingly
and said she might go If she were
home early. Betty promised, and was
soon seated in the car on the way to
the circus. Already the tent was ablaze
with lights, and the brass band was
sending forth a welcome to the people.
She took her place at the end of
the long line at the ticket booth and
chatted with some small boys. Sooa
she was in the big tent, watching with
eager eyes the stunts in the ring. She
laughed merrily at the clowns and
clapped wildly at the strong man. After
a while she walked down by the
animal cages and was enjoying herself
hugely, when suddenly the long arm of
a monkey shot out between the bars
of bis cage and grasped firmly the
crown of Betty's best hat She gave
a little cry of mingled pain and terror
and tried in vain to wrench herself
free. It was then that n tall figure la
khaki came to her rescue, and with a
little difficulty managed to get her
free, bat the monkey had palled the
crown from the rim of the hat, leaving
only the rim on her head. t
He bounded away in his cage with
the crown and the (lowers, and placket
at them in high glee. Betty's hair hat
received a vigorous pull, and clasping
her hands to her tortured head she
gazed at her rescuer, the tall soldier.
That young man's face was trying In
vain to keep sober, and at length Betty
laughed, too. "Oh, I say,n cried the
soldier, when his mirth had subsided,
"that was a shame!" '
"Yes, my poor hat!" mourned Betty,
gazing ruefully at the remains of a
once pretty hat. "Whatever shall I
wear home?" Then, Just because they
were both young, they laughed merrily,
and continued to see the animals.
"Oh, dear, I must hurry home. It la
quite late." They parted at the car station,
and all the young soldier knew
about his charming companion wae
that her name was Betty. That young
lady had discovered that his name
was Stephen?Steve for short She
boarded the car and kept her face
turned toward the window, for her
cheeks were burning with the consciousness
that she had no bat on her
tousled curly hair. Her mother was
awake when she reached home, and
Betty sat by her side and told her of
the evening's adventure, and the little
mother shook her head over her daughter's
escapade. "My dear, you had better
run along to bed now," she said,
when Betty's narrative had ended.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, dear," she
added, "that Emma called up and
wants you to go down to her camp by
the seashore tomorrow afternoon and
stay Sunday. You may go If you want
to, dearie, for the change will do yon
good."
"Ob, mumsie," cried the delighted
Betty, "you are the dearest little
mother in the world." Then, with a
fond good-night kiss, she went to bed.
The next morning she rose early and
packed her grip. As she carefully laid
her pretty bathing suit, in, her cheeks
glowed with pleasant anticipation of
the fun in the water. When she
reached the camp she found her dear
friend, Emma Worthington, waiting
for her. In the cozy dining room over
looking the sea a table was set for
four. "Why, Emma," asked Betty, who
else is to be here?"
"Well," replied Emma, "my old
friends, the Burtons, are home on a
furlough and I invited them over."
"Who are the Burtons?" asked Bet*
ty, interestedly.
"Two delightful young men that
have had a summer camp here for four
years. One is a sailor and the other it
' a soldier In the training: school. They
are very nice chaps and I know jwa
will like them."
At this news Betty hastened to her
room to change her dress and to
smooth her hair. When she again entered
the dining room the yoong men
had airlred. She gave a little cry of
surprise, for the soWier boy was her
knight of the evening before. "Oh, I
am glad to see you again," she cried,
and told her friend about the mischievous
monkey. That was the beginning
of a short but very pleasant holiday,
and when Steve and Betty parted
again be had her promise to write to
him. She kept that promise, and when
he again came home for a short visit
before leaving for France he asked het
to go to the park for a walk. Betty
knew by the twinkle in his nice blus
eyes that ne naa someinmg up u?
sleeve and so she consented to go,
They reached the zoo and paused by
the monkeys' cage. Steve glanced
around to see if they were alone and
then took Betty's hand in his. "Girlie
I don't Just know how to say it, bul
you know what I'm driving at Will ^
you?" And there, with the match-making
monkeys for witnesses, Betty
promised that she would be waitinj \
for him when her 9oldier boy camf
borne, again.
