And when visits to the new house on two or three evenings during the following week also failed to produce any re- bout & room of dietient. "Sed soreads the 4 going sults, he was completely discredited. “You and your ghost stories!” Har- old Granger sneered. “And we were dumb enough to believe you. I guess you've gone soft in the head since you got that lacrosse stick, or something.” Jed was fit to be tied, as he would have expressed it. He understood now that Caroline must have heard the ru- mone about the new house, and real- ized that she was in danger of discov- ery. So she had temporarily aban- doned her ballet dancing. and left Jed holding the bag. “Serves me right,” Jed told him- self bitterly. “I should have known better. I should have known that girls are poison.” But the incident of the lacrosse stick and the broken window still rankled, and when his father re- minded him of the debt he owed him for the broken glass, that didn't help matters any. Tl-mN one morning Jed had just finished breakfast when he heard Hoops Hooper's whistle out front. He hurried out, to find Hoops bursting with news. “Say!” he cried. “There’s something in this new house business. after all. My kid sister was coming past there last night and she saw a light. She ran home, scared half to death. Now, what do you know about that?” Jed smiled in a very superior man- ner. “Thought I was crazy, didn’t you?” he said triumphantly. “Well, I guess now you know.” Hoops nodded emphatically “Yeah, and I'm sure going to be on hand to- night. I think we ought to go later than we did before.” Jed was thinking with lightning rapidity. ““Gee, Hoops, I'm sorry I can't be there tonight. But you can get two or three of the other fellows and act as an investigating com- mittee. And if I were you, I wouldn't tell anybody much about it or you'll have so many over there they’ll scare ‘em off sure.” Hoops agreed. “That's what I'll do,” he said. OOPS chose three companions for the evening’s expedition with great care. And to keep their purpose a secret, the four boys decided to go to the movies and stop at the new house on the way home about 9:30. That fitted in perfectly with Jed's rapidly forming plans. He had re- solved that the fellows weren't going to be disappointed this time, whether Caroline showed up or mot. If she didn’t come, he would provide a ghost himself and make certain that the gang would come back again on other evenings and so catch Caroline. Jed knew exactly what he was going to do. His mother and father were going out that evening to play bridge with some friends. Therefore the coast would be clear. He'd get a sheet from upstairs and the flashlight from the garage, steal down the alley to the new house and be inside when the gang showed up. With the light and the sheet, he could play ghost before a window and escape back down the alley before they could cross the street to investigate. Jed could hardly wait until evening arrived. Then shortly after supper, when his mother and father were pre- paring to go out, his troubles began. The telephone rang, and after Mrs. Walcott had answered it she reported that the arrangements for the eve- He heard a noise that brought him up sharply. ning were all off. Her friend had called and reported that sudden illness in the family had made the bridge party impossible. JE‘D heard this news with real alarm. He had to get a sheet from up- stairs, and if his parents didn't go out, how could he do it? For a while he watched for an op- portunity, but his mother and father settled down to Tead in the living room. With his path to the second floor blocked Jed decided to” try the basement, in the hope that there would be a sheet in the laundry. There wasn't. Nor was there anything else large enough and light enough in color to serve his purpose. Jed was now genuinely worried. It was getting close to 9 o'clock. The boys would be back from the movies in a half hour, and he had to have some sort of ghost in the new house to greet them. He hurried to the garage and got the flashlight, still hoping he might get a chance to go upstairs. Then coming back toward the house, he stopped with a sudden exclamation. In the yard nexc door, something large and light-colored was hanging on Mrs. Trent's clothesline. Jed hurried over. It was a light woolen blanket, cream colored, which had been hung out to air that after- noon and forgotten. With a guilty feeling, but impelled by desperation Jed pulled it off the line, folded it under his arm, and hurried up the alley toward the new house. HE ENTERED by the rear door, and was hardly inside when he heard a noise that brought him up sharply. Somebody was already in the house! Cautiously, Jed tiptoed across the floor toward the front room. He saw the flicker of candlelight, and then knew the truth, which was more than he had possibly hoped for. Caroline was actually here, practicing for danc- ing, and the investigating committee would see her! Peering cautiously around the door of the front room, Jed saw her. Again she had the candle, set on the floor at one side, and beside it was her book of instructions. She was wear- ing the same frilly costume, and in her hands was a long piece of filmy gauze, which floated about her as she danced. Stifiing a snicker, Jed continued to watch. And then gradually he stopped feeling amused. Caroline was so deadly serious about what she was doing. And doggone it, Jed told himself, she was pretty, even in that goofy dress. And she sure was graceful, the way she pivoted and swayed in front of that flickering candle. ‘Then he hardened his heart. She had made the gang laugh at him. She had been responsible (or partly so) for the window he had broken. “Still” Jed told himself, “it's a mean trick I'm doing. They'll laugh at her until she's sick. Maybe—" Suddenly his blood froze as the girl in the room before him uttered a piercing scream. (To be concluded next Sunday.) Today's Slang May Be Good English In Years to Come Dm you know that many of the ‘words you think of as slang today will some day be accepted as per- fectly good words to use? This is the way it happens: When people are impressed by a new hap- pening they sometimes use an old word in a new way in referring to that thing. For instance, the Puritans used to cast lots for the ownership of land and other things of value. And so “lots” soon came to mean the pieces of land which were thus distributed. “Qrit,” referring to courage, was once a slang word, but has become an accepted part of our language. For a time slang words are used because people are fond of novelty. Many of the popular words of today will belong only to our time. But there are others which, because of their expressiveness, will do their part as everyday words in the future. PULLING TOGETHER. ROBABLY you have all seen a foot ball team possessing two or three exceptional players, beaten by another team which could not boast of any “stars” at all. At first thought this may seem strange, but it's reslly not strange in the least. ‘The answer, of course, is teamwork. Some- times a “star” will ruin a team because he wants all the glory for himself and won't work with the other players. The secret of success in many things in life, as in foot ball, is co- operation and teamwork. Several boys and girls of ordinary ability® can work together smoothly, and run rings around a bunch of “stars” who don’t know anything about teamwork. That old saying that two heads are better than one is a very true one, and three or four or eieven heads are better than two, always pro- vided that they work together.

Body a Furnace Burning Up Fuel Supplied in Food UR bodies are like furnaces that need to be stoked with food con- stantly—and when we fail to nourish the “fire” which burns within we suffer for the neglect. For some days, and even months, we can live on the reserves we have stored in times of abundance—but when these are ex- hausted we starve. Of course, the fire which burns within us isn't a blazing-hot one. It is, however, an ordinary process of slow burning which uses food and drink for fuel instead of wood or coal. The food changes and com- bines with the oxygen we breathe, and the heat that is given off in the combination provides the energy to move about and keep our bodies warm. For that reason, it is somewhat easier to go hungry in warm countries than in cool, where we need food to keep warm; and in bed than mov- ing about, when we need extra food for the energy we use. When we stop taking extra food and drink into our bodies we are warned by a feeling of hunger and thirst that the reserves are being burned up. We feel the thirst even before the hunger, because our bodies | ordinarily use up over six pounds of water every day. Somewhat more slowly, but surely, the solid resources of the body are used up by the oxygen also. First the fatly material, which was stored when we ate more than neces- sary, is combined with oxygen. Next the tissues and muscles try to save the vital organs. And at last the vital organs themselves are gradually gnawed by the oxygen. In the end, even the brain, heart and lungs be- come fuel for the fire—and we die. The burning process in the body is simply the combination of parts of the | body with the oxygen, exactly as the burning of anything else is the com- bination of the material with the oxygen. ‘The food we eat constantly renews the parts of the body which are so unceasingly combining with the oxy- gen we breathe. Therefore the healthi- est foods are those which are the best body builders—those which con- tain the substances that build muscle, bone, nerve and blood. G.A.R.Reunion (Continued From Pirst Page.) And when the thinned ranks move down Pennsylvania avenue, to which parades have become commonplace, Grant will review them once more— those soldiers and sailors who battled for the preservation of the Union. For there he stands perennially, now, at the head of Union Square, named in honor of the boys in blue. And at the other end of The Mall, Washington’s mast pretentious down- town park, the veterans will see a world-famed monument erected to their idol, the rail splitter, Abraham Lincoln, for whom they answered the call, back in the days of their youth. Glistening in the September Sunshine, the chaste white columns of the Lin- coln Memorial will tell them that —By J. 4" CcANNON NAIL POINTS FORM CANNON 6' SI1D! By Ray J. Marran.

Eliminating the keel, the rudder and the propeller assembly, it is termed a water-line model, and needs no support to make it stand erect on shelf or mantel. Whittling the vari- ous parts for this type of boat will give a boy or girl many hours of entertaining and constructive fun. Start your model with the hull, by cutting & 1-inch block of soft white pine, 2 inches wide by 10 inches long, into the shape sketched. You will need a fine-tooth saw and a sharp pocket knife for this cutting, as you will note that near the center of the hull there is a deep notch cut out, and that at the stern there is a step-shaped cut.

The size and the shape of each tiny part are indicated. The big guns are merely short pieces of wire nails, with the heads cut off and the points glued into the beveled fronts of the gun turrets.

Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, lives still in the hearts of his countrymen. KE!:PZNG Grant company in Union Square is that other major hero of the Civil War, Meade—compatriots upon the battlefield, comrades in last- ing memorials hard by the Capitol they fought to preserve. Some day soon there will be a memorial to & third hero of that conflict, as yet un- chosen for special honors in stone and bronze, in Union Square. And then that chain of defenses that encircled Washington in Civil War days will have special interest for the veterans, for many of them manned the guns to protect Wash- ington from the cannon of the Con- federacy. And mighty near falling Washington was, upon one occasion, when Gen. Jubal Early in 1864 tri- umphed over the Union forces at the bridge over the Monocacy River near Frederick, Md.,, and marched on the Nation's Capital. President Lincoln himself was & spectator at Fort Stevens of Early's attack and it is oft recorded that this is the only time in the history of America that a President of the United States was under enemy fire while in the White House. Little wonder that the Grand Army has special devotion to Fort Stevens and that, at the northern rim of Wash- ington, it will be leaving a lasting memorial after the coming encamp- ment.

This will be a motor high- way and parkway connecting the old forts ringing the City of Washington. Another Civil War shrine the vet- erans will find here is the Lincoln Museum in old Ford’s Theater, where Lincoln received the fatal shot, and the old house in which he died, just across Tenth street. This is now under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service, the Federal Govern- ment having acquired the famous Oldroyd collection some years ago. The parade to be held in the latter part of September will be reminiscent of the grand review. The indomitable | Lincoln continued construction of the dome of the Capitol all through the Civil War, as another lasting remem- brance of those days, but soon after his assassination the veterans of the Army of the Potomac and of the Army of Sherman marched along Pennsyl- | vania avenue in the grand review, which occupied two days. Military | and civilian dignitaries watched the marching thousands from a stand in front of the White House. Other stands accommodated members of Congress and State officials. Specta- tors showered the boys in blue with flowers. President Jehnson and Gen. Grant stood side by side reviewing the veterans as the army of 200,000 passed by. During the Civil War the guns of the Confederacy sounded near in Washington. At one time Govern- ment employes were summoned to arms. Here, too, was a vast hospital during the conflict and wounded and dying men were a common sight. Gen. Scott had led a monster parade on July 4, 1861, through the streets of Washington and then they marched off to participate in the battle of Bull Run. Grant came here on March 23, 1864, to take command of all the Union armies. And soon victory came. Tfllmnd review was held on May 23 and 24, 1865. Gen. Meade led the troops of the Army of the Potomac and the second day Gen. Sherman was in the vanguard of the Army of the Tennessee. An imposing memo- rial to that army and that general is found just south of the Treasury Department in Sherman Square. Antietam, Bull Run, Gettysburg— “the high-water mark of the Civil War’—are all Washington’s neigh- bors. History has forged an unbreak- able link between the Grand Army of the Republic and the City of Wash- ington. In the swirl of the Civil War it knew those soldiers well and it again cheered them in the grand re- view. Washington has previously been host to the Grand Army of the Re- public on four occasions—namely, in the years 1870, 1892, 1902 and the last time in 1915. ‘When history rang down the cur- tain upon the Civil War the Union Army numbered more than a million men. Once a power omnipotent on battlefleld and in council chambers of the Nation, the Grand Army of the Republic has been frittered away by time until today there is but a handful of the serried ranks of war- riors. ‘The books record that the first year of the Civil War (1861) witnessed 156 conflicts. In 1862 there were 561 en- gagements. There were 626 in 1863 and in 1864 there were 779 exchanges of arms, while there were 135 battles during the days of 1885 in which the Civil War raged. The survivors of these engagements will be seen upon the streets of Washington this week, soldiers to the last. The years will r and memaries grow keen again around many a | board here, as the veterans recount | their oft-told tales of trench and fleld. The firing on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, signalized the oute break of the Civil War. Although the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee, at Appomattox, Va.. on April 9, 1865, is generally regarded as terminating the conflict, some minor engage- ments followed that historic event. Those days shall live again here, when the remnants of the Grand Army arrive. HEN the war was done, the vete erans returned to peaceful pure suits, but the thrill of the fighting was still in their veins. They de- cided to cement the memories of those days into a lasting organizae tion. This they did, when the Grand Army of the Republic was organized on April 6, 1866, at Decatur, Ill. A Springfield, Ill, physician, Dr. Ben- jamin F. Stephenson, a war surgeon with the 14th Ilinois Infantry, was the moving spirit. With post Nume ber 1 mustered at Decatur, the organe ization spread throughout the Nation in little time and became & potent factor in subsequent events. The organization’s first national convention was held in Indianapolis, Ind, November 20, 1866, and the District of Columbia was represented. The objects of the order are thus described in those primal regulations and articles: “To preserve and strengthen those kind and fraternal feelings which bind together the Soldiers, Sallors and Marines who united to suppress the late Rebellion and to perpetuate the memory and history of the dead. “To assist such former comrades in arms as need help and protection, and to extend needful aid to the wid- ows and orphans of those who have fallen. “To maintain true allegiance to the United States of America, based upon & paramount respect for and fidelity to its Constitution and laws; to dis- countenance whatever tends to weaken loyalty, incites to insurrec- tion, treason or rebellion, or in any manner impairs the efficlency and permanency of our free institutions; and to encourage the spread of unie versal liberty, equal rights and juse tice to all men.” Through its long history, the G. A, R. passed through many vicissitudes. Early in its career, it suffered a set~ back, when it was dubbed “a secret political soclety.” Then, hundreds of posts disbanded, because of the row over the distinction of recruit, sole dier and veteran, and soon this was dropped and the organization ree turned to the plan of simple muster. But it weathered the storms and be came an unmistakable force in Amere ican life. And how royally was the . A. R treated in its hey-day as it held its encampments in various sections of the Nation. Philadelphia entertained the veterans with a carriage drive through Falrmont Park and breakfast at the Belmont Mansion. Providence, R. I. put on & steamer excursion, & clam beke in Rhode Island fashion and & banquet in Music Hall. Albany, N. Y, treated them to a National Guard parade, reviewed by the Gover= nor, as well as & grand banquet at the Martin Opera House. AT BALTIMORE, Md., the sixteenth encampment was held on June 16, 1882.
