Elwell is an artist. He has a son, Jim, aged 5. Late that night the woman gives birth to twin girls and then dles without revealing .er identity. Her attire had indicated she was a person of wealth and re- finement. The story then moves forward to June, 1916, and the reader is intro- duced to Jim Elwell, now 22 and his father's partner, and to the twin girls, who have been adopted by the Elwells. They are now 17, and one of them has been hamed Margaret and nicknamed Rusty; the other, Elizabeth, is called Betty. April, 1917, comes and _the United States enters the World War. Jim enlists. NOW BEGIN THE STORY CHAPTER VI There were to be many happy days together, though, before Jim went away. He was told to wait for his call to active duty, and following close on the heels of his enlistment came a bhurry-up order from Chi. cago to fit out two theaters with complete scenic equipment. It was a job entailing a nice profit of $3000 I to the Elwells. “Delivery not later than August 20,” was the stipulation made in the contract accompanying the letter. “Grab {t,” Jim advised his father when Prof showed him the order. “I can help you till I'm called, and lit's Tikely to be a couple of weeks or a month—maybe more—Dbefore that | happens.

The reason is that when you feel perfectly safe you very likely not to be watching t for danger. It is just as neces- sary to watch out for danger when vou feel perfectly safe as i tis when you don’t feel so safe.
