By JOHN ELKINS
(Copyright, 1917, by W. G. Chapman.)
"Billy, I'm proposing to you J" said
June with a saucy grin. "Don't you
seem to recognize It when you see
| it?"
| "Well, hardly. It's so midden," mur-
I mured Billy.
j "Sudden? Why leap year is two
months old. It seems to me that's old
I enough to begin to take notice."
I "But I hadn't," answered Billy in
! worried perplexity.
| "Well, I must MKJ this is something
! of a 'Jolt.' I thought you'd jump at
' it—or ruther—at me."
"I repeat," observed Billy. "It is
so sudden."
Billy, although a bit over thirty, had
| retained such an evergreen youth that
i no one, even la the cement works
where he was a partner, ever thought
of calling him , William. He would
I probably always be Billy to the end

laid any claims to beauty, but had a
| good wholesome countenance that
! looked capable and honest.
June Barry had been taken by Mrs.
Hunt, Billy's mother, when she was
only eight years old. She was dis-
tantly related Ity marriage, but so re-
motely that when you began to try to
entangle it, it ended in not being re-
lated. But June was left an orphan
with a small inheritanee, and Mrs.
Hunt brought her home, and she be-
came one of the family. That was ten
years ago, and she had romped
through her childhood with Billy, and
it had not apparently occurred to him
that she had grown up. Evidently it
was occurring to him now, for the
quizzical smile on his lips was but a
transparent mask to cover his per-
plexed surprise.

Billy, "why use me for a buffer to

The Nation Calls
Oklahoma Must Provide More Volun-
teers to Regulars and Na-
tional Guard.
Oklahoma City, Okla., June 28.—
(Special)—Young men, enlist!
The nation is calling for volunteers.
The state is calling for them. Okla-
homa has not furnished her share so
far. Not a single county has furnish-
ed its share.
State and national war officials are
attempting to fill the regular army
and the national guard to war
strength this week. More men are
needed. More nen must come to the
service of their country. The efficiency
of the war organization demands it,
AT ONCE.
Many cities in Oklahoma are put-
ting on immense campaigns for men
this week. Speakers for picture
shows, street music, automobile
parades, mass meetings and many
other methods are being used by
citizens in different parts of the
state. Enlistments have increased,
but more are needed.
Men may volunteer between the
ages of 18 and 40, whether or not
they are of the age for registering.
Those who w ish to go into the reg-
ular army should see their postmas-
ter. Those who wish to enlist in the

ing, and a very formidable rival, ex-
cept perhaps in the matter of youth.
The widow saw this advantage with

and be glad to welroine her as one of
them. Jnne tried to assume a <'heer-
fol. even cordial acquiescence, but h *r
astute hostess detected something un-
der the mask which warned her to be
a trifle wary in the campaign.
Tommy Thurston was sauntering
down toward the park, when June
loomed up in his line of vision. She
seemed to him to look rather more
ravishingly alluring than usual. He
wondered If It would do jiny good to
try again to get her to say yes. He
detained her as she tried to pass.
"It's Just to say good-by." said
Tommy.
"Oh," replied June, not greatly In-
terested, "when are you going?"
**This Wednesday. I'm going to stop
at Barchester to see my uncle, on the
way. After that I haven't yet de-
cided. Perh*ps across the pond to
England, perhaps to California. You
know I wouldn't go If you said so."
"Now Tommy, that's settled. Don't
let's talk about it, please."
There was such a ring of finality
about It that Tommy was silent.
"But," added June, "come to think,
I've got to go to Barchester to do
some shopping. I may be taking your
train, and can bear you <*ompany on
the beginning of your Journey at
least."
"Oh, that'll be fine!" cried Tommy
brightening.
So it was arranged they should meet
at the train.
June said nothing to anyone about
her intended trip, but carefully packed
a suitcase, put her desk, and belong-
ings in order, the only thing suggest-
ing a hasty departure being Mrs.
Cllffe's note of Invitation left lying
open on her desk. She slid unobserved
out of the house, keeping the suitcase
on the side away from the window,
and met Tommy at tire station. She
took pains to speak to the station mas-
ter at the little office who knew her,
and who eyed, rather curiously, the
combination of young Thurston. Miss
Barry and the luggage.
Arriving at Barchester, Thurston In-
sisted on seeing her to the hotel where
she said she was going. Then he reg-
istered, aud informed her he Intended
fjQ. stax. there jilso for, a day^ qt- two.
June put fTer foot down, and"tofd Film
she would leuve Immediately If he did
not go to some other hotel. Thurston
saw that she meant it. and left.
The next morning June started out
for her shopping. When she returned
she expected to find that something
had happened, but not even a tele-
gram greeted her. She wondered what
they were doing and thinking at h*une.
Well there was nothing to do but wait.
She sat alone In her room the entire
evening, and nothing happened. The
next morning as she was starting out
for more shopping, she found herself
confronted by the proprietor. Very
Apologetically he explained that he
had orders from police headquarters
to detain her. June after some show
of Indignation, went meekly back to
her room. In about an hour there
was a knock at her door. Was it a
horrid policeman or the Irate and in-
jured Mrs. Hunt? June nerved her-
self to open the door. Billy wild-eyed
and out of breath confronted her.
"Where Is that scoundrel?" he
yelled. "Are you married?"
"No," answered June. "And he Isn't
a scoundrel."
Then Billy told how he had found
Mrs. Cllffe's note, how a good deal
had dawned upon him, how they had
never even thought of being engaged,
and how furious, and miserably heart-
broken he had been.
"Then," he added, "I know—It took
an awful big Jolt to find out—but I
knew I'd got to get you back, or—
or—"
"Or make me one of the family?"
she finished.
Billy took her very closely in his
arms, and explained later.

Ill do anything for you in that line,
but why do this?"
"Don't trouble yourself to take the
good Samaritan pose, you don't have
to. I refused Tommy Thurston day
before yesterday."
"You did?" Bill was plainly sur*
prised.
"Yes. Had you any idea I could
care for such a silly creature?"
"He has oodles of money."
"Well, do you think that's all 1
want? You that's been living In the
same house with me for the last ten
years?"
"That's It," musingly rejoined the
man. "Sometimes we don't know the
people of our own family as well as
we do outsiders. Perhaps because we
don't take notice."
"We don't take notice," echoed June
grimly.
"And you know," laughed Billy try-
Ing to dismiss the matter as a Joke,
"I—we all look upon you as one of
the family."
"Thank you," said June with cutting
politeness. "It's very kind of you."
And with great dignity she took her-
self out of the room.
June had not quite known what Bil-
ly meant to her till one day some-
thing happened. She heard that he
was calling very often on Mrs. Cliffe,
the young, fascinating widow who had
lately come to town, and taken a pret-
ty apartment nearby. Then she saw
him walking with Mrs. Cliffe, and the
quick, hard tug at her heart told her
she was Jealous. Then she knew.
Upon this came the sndden impulse to
find out if he cared for her except as
Just one of the family.
About two weeks after this episode
June met Mrs. Cliffe at a friend's
home, and was cordially invited to
come and see her. Not at once taking
advantage of the invitation, she one
day received a pleasant little note
from Mrs. Cliffe asking her to come to
tea. June said nothing to Billy, but
she wondered nnd went. She thought
It might lie a case of spying out the
situation, and 'sizing her up,' and she
found she was not far in the wrong. ,
