war necessitating an expendi ture of Ave millions and more every day A moments reflec tion however will show that the financial side of this enormous outlay represents but a fraction of the actual cost to the nation To this war bill must be added frightful price paid in many oth er ways and not always to bo estimated in pounds shillings and pence The most serious item would be the amount paid by the budding childhood of the nation With father absent from thous ands of homes and mother doing her own as well as much of her mans bit for the little ones it follows that in the majority of cases home life and influence are shorn of some of their best fac tors Father might not be- an ideal head of the household but in times of peace he was general ly there as a restraining influence and ready to serve as a final court of appeal Can it he wondered at that social and moral disin tegration has set in in many a home circle Even at the day school the mistress rules instead of the master the classes are larger some of amenities have disappeared with ho result among large numbers of the old er boys of a slackened discipline and an ominous increase of juve nile crime Uncle was much given to retailing old and hackneyed jokes An acquaint ance of his thinking to cure him of day gave him a copy of Joe Millers Jest Rook with remark that he might find something now in it next time ho met old gentleman ho asked him Well uncle what do you think of the book I gave you other day I dont know who that ere Miller is indignantly respond ed Uncle hut I do know hes a Hes got hold of a lot of my best stories and print ed em him I Bertha Wood Now who could have boon mean enough to pass that off on ino I Lansing Peters eyed with disgust a plugged halfdollar as ho emptied his ohango pock et Since he had made his youth ful into business world six months money bad seemed to acquire a new val ue a now importance and it was disheartening to say least to find that ho had been cheated out of a halfdollar And Im just certain the fel low whoever ho was did it on purpose old fraud If I could only find him out 1 Hastily Lansing reviewed afternoon From whom could plugged coin have come The street car conductor No for Lansing remembered he had paid his fare with a nickel At tho store where he had bought tho necktie No not there cither for he had handed the salesman a halfdollar atM tie had cost cents Ah he had it I The banana man from whoso cart he had made a purchase at noon Yes he had handed man a dollar and had undoubtedly re ceived this plugged fifty cents in change And now of course it was too late for him to domand that the coin be replaced by a good one Ho could never hope to find the swarthyfaced owner of particular carl could not even recognize him from half a dozen other fruit vendors Of course ho know what he was giving me Lansing said wrallifully to himself The old IhieJ I When one is earning only a month the loss of even fifty cents assumes rather large pro portions and Lansings face was determined He had reached a conclusion It lacked half an hour till sup per lime when he went into house His father and uncle wore sitting on the screened side porch llieir faces hidden by evening papers But both look ed up with a smile of greeting Lansing sank rather wearily into one of porch rockers his face still darkened Well he would find someone to get old coin onto he reasoned he wouldnt be the loser He felt his face burn a little as ho thought this for a hoy who prided himself on be ing square However ho as sured himself it most certainly wasnt fair that he should lose a halfdollar of the he had worked so hard and faithfully to earn Someone had deliberately cheated him and surely ho could not be blamed for simply recover ing his own But he felt the sophistry of this reasoning ever while ho would not acknowledge it to himself Humph This came from behind his fathers mlty of Kingmans offenses A good thing lies caught at the same time Im for loo poor fellow- am his hardest of all them A decentlooking isnt he And as nice- looking- a wife and children as youd find anywhere Whole fam ily pictured arid their with him I Brings Jimolfght pretty he was caught only last Well theyll suffer for it Queer what ex theyll make- He went on meditatively heres a strange rambling sort of statement from fellow man aged to get a lot of copy out of him last night declare it looks as if the fellow must be un balanced mentally Kingman I mean Why what makes you think so Lansing inquired the way hes trying to shovo off the responsibility I suppose ho fcols despcrato Tolls the reporter a lot of stuff about his early history and how ho started in life without having a fair chanqe Oh this I with ah exclamation half of disgust half of pity for the man who had been haled to justice Mr Peters read aloud l he has never had a square dead When ho was in the grocery a limo at Fifth and Baling he was made a bankrupt through the dishonesty of his partner Later when he had obtained a comfort able position in the Peoples Em porium malignant fate seemed again to pursue him The store was burned to the ground the night after its insurance had been allowed to lapse and ho was again out of work with a beau tiful wife and three fairy children dependent upon him Oh nonsense how these report ers like to paint things up 1 And Mr Peters gave a snort of gust Thats the way it goes on always it was fate that was against him so he tries to white wash hie own crime- now by put ting it onto the other fellow What sort of a world would it be if one went through it trying to pass on to somebody else all hie own wrongs I going on this principle cheat moand Ill cheat tho next fellow to even things up Great world wed have in a little while wouldnt we I should say as much Uncle said as he folded his pa per But unfortunately world isnt up to such weak lings and rogues after all majority of men are trying pret ty hard to be decent and to make this old planet a little belter in stead of worse Undo George had a kindly honest face which showed plainly how truly he be lieved what he said For a few moments Lansing brooded in silence Then it seemed to come to him with con vincing force was not he him self in what might seem to be a small way planning to go on the principle of Cheat me and Ill cheat someone else to even it up Why the thought made his face burn hotly would he be one whit less culpable than that Italian fruit peddler who had taken him in if ho now should pass the plugged halfdollar into some other pair of unsuspecting hands There could be only one answer Lansing rose sud denly from the rocker Ill be back in five minutes tell moth er he said in plenty of time for supper Ive just got to go a couple of blocks He walked briskly and as if he feared to let himself be detained for another moment the two blocks that led to a little park at the end of the suburban slrect In its center was a lake where he had often played in his childhood with the other boys of the neigh borhood was a pretty sil very lake with a few deep spots which he knew by heart He made his way to bank and in another moment something that matched the silver of the wa ter splashed into its shining depths He stood for a moment gazing at the widening concen tric ripple that followed the splash Then he walked soberly home Suppers just ready his mother said beamingly as he came up on tho porch And I vounnin mi The best thing in this world is a good man first thing a human being should recognize about himself is that his charac ter is his
