"There's young Henry Wilkins, who married Jake Johnson's girl, he makes (2,000 and he doesn't pay a cent of taxes. I guess this Is his war as well as mine 1" Thinking of joung Henry Wllklus, he remembered that Mrs. Wilkins went every afternoon to make bandages for the Red Cross and that Henry, who was a lawyer, was aiding the I.ocal Draft Board with Its questionnaires. "Well," he admitted to himself, that makes a difference." He thought next of Judge Willoughby, whose Income was about (3.000. He only pays $20," commented Mr. Suupkius, not quite so angrily this time; and then a thought struck him and he sat up rigidly In his chair. Judge Willoughby's son had been drowned on the Tuscanla when It wns submarined with the loss of two hundred soldiers. Judge Willoughby gave his son to America. muttered Mr. Simpkins. He leaned forward suddenly and put his face lu Ids hands. For a long time Mr. Simpkins sat very still in that position. There was no sound In the library except the ticking of the tall clock and an occasional trill of laughter from the children skylarking upstairs. The square of light on the carpet gradually withdrew itself through the window, and first twilight and then darkness settled in about the quiet, white haired, sometimes irascible old man. Mr. Simpkins was thinking things which he would never afterward speak of, he wns thinking things that were too sacred ever to lie put into words. But some Inkling of his thoughts may be found In his rejoinder to Mrs Simpkins when that placid lady came in and turned oil the lights, and asked hint whether be was ready for dinner. Judge Willoughby's only son was worth as mueh as fourteen hundred and thirty-fou- r dollars, wasn't he?" Mr. Simpkins demanded of her.
