RAY BAKER €@: 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syadicate.) The three years WAr was over and Moore was going home. The war in question had nothing te a France or Germany. Was. a.private family war--between Leonard Moore and J. Griffen Moore. Perhaps it had better be termed a rup- ture in relations, for ne shots were In his hand Leonard held the terms of peace. They were contained In a letter from J, Griften Moore, who hap- pened to be his father. The situation Was summed wp in the closing para- graph of the letter: ! : "So the doors of 'the old home are open to you. TI learn frpm reliable Sources that you have settled down and made goed ss an automobile sales- man. It has been a & three years for me, all alone in' the big house ex- cept for the servants, but I believe it has done us beth good, and we will understand each other better when Jou return. There is only one obliga- tion I will place you under; that is that you marry at once, and of course it must be some one in your own class, Mazle Dixon would suit me, and you used to appear extremely fond of her. I'll look for you shortly." It was the first communication from his father since the latter sent him out into"the world to shift for himself three years ago. It was after Leonard's Second expulsion from college that the break occurred. Leonard had steadfastly refused to shoulder any responsibility in life, had never been vicious, but had traveled with a clique that was not noted for its thrifty propensities or its mild forms of amusement; had openly de fied hard and fast regulations of the school and had ended his career there with ap extemporaneous valedictory address delivered in the presence of Jie faculty when the latter sumnioned before it and which was far from being a eulogy, The summons had resulted from a Series of misdemeanofs which had Come te the faculty's attention," but when the facuity tried to express its opinion as te the merit of Leonard's ndry escapades the latter usurped the stage and expressed Jiis ideas con- cerning the faculty, collectively and in- Otvidually. He went home by the next train, bag and baggage. When J. Griffen Moore shut the door of his magnificent home that night Leonard was on the outside with $500 in his pocket with which to "try to make something of yourself." It woke Leonard up and, taking an inventory of himself, he decided it was high time to assume a different at- which was echoed by iinnle, no doubt |& out of sympathy for him, although there appeared to be little occasion for sympathy. In the morning Leonard severed his connection with the auto sales com- Then Leonard went to his father's |o5 office, where an affectionate greeting took place, and that night was formally welcomed back in old home with a dinner party, at young ladies and young gentlemen "his class" were guests. Among the guests was Masle, and | = her greeting was effusive. "T've missed you a lot" she said, "It would seem that you might have dropped me a line now and then." "I was in no position te consider you 2s a--a friend," he reminded her, was just 8 poor working man. to make up for lost time and to all the best parties and theaters." ; While this conversation place Minnie sat alone in pounding a dilapidated typewriter, ing to grind out material for Leonard did net know that ald aside this werk on more occasion In order te Pecelve that it madé the performance duties the next day doubly hard.

"Back?" she exclaimed. "Did your father change his mind?" . , "No," he said grimly, setting the suitcases in the hall and entering the room.' "No, he didn't change his mind ~but I did.
