We must subscribe it; else will the finger of scorn justly be pointed at us forever after." Another round of applause. Mr. Conant, and Mr. Jaswell, the banker, and other prominent members of the Liberty Loan Committee began to look encouraged and to take heart. "Of course they'll subscribe it!" whispered Mary Louise to her friend Alora Jones.
"I wonder why he did it?" whispered Mary Louise, who had overheard the exchange of words and marked Kasker's dogged opposition. "He bought the bonds as a matter of business," replied Laura Hilton. "It's a safe investment, and Kasker knows it. Besides that, he may have an idea it would disarm suspicion." "Also," added Alora Jones, "he took advantage of the opportunity to slam the war.
By noon she was tingling with resentment and when she joined the other Liberty Girls at luncheon, she found them all excited over the circular and demanding vengeance on the offender whoever he might happen to be. "Isn't it dreadful!" exclaimed Lucile Neal, "and what could the person hope to gain by it?" "Why, he wanted to kill the Liberty Bond sale," explained Alora Jones.
The place was given up on the 20th of June, on condition that the inhabitants might depart with their effects. The people of Malaga, as yet unacquainted with the power of this battering ordnance, were so incensed at those of Alora for what they considered a tame surrender that they would not admit them into their city.
While these fifteen were being trained, by means of practical daily demonstration, in the many appetizing preparations for the table from corn-meal and corn-flour, Alora and one or two others daily visited the homes of Dorfield and left samples of bread, buns, cookies, cakes, desserts and other things that had come fresh from the ovens and range of the cooking-school.

Be sure you order him to keep at home and remain quiet at least for to-day." An hour later six girls met at the home of Alora Jones, who lived with her father in a fine mansion across the street from Colonel Hathaway's residence.
It was in this manner that she had once been of great service to her friend Alora Jones, and to others as well. It was this natural quality, combined with sincere loyalty, which made her long to discover and bring to justice the author of the pro-German circulars. Josie O'Gorman was small and "pudgy" her own expression red-haired and freckled-faced and snub-nosed.
Alora confessed she had no talent whatever for cooking, but all the other five were ready to undertake the work and a selection was made from among the other Liberty Girls of the rank and file which brought the total number of culinary endeavorers up to fifteen as large a class as Mrs. Manton was able to handle efficiently.
"More than that," added Jason Jones, Alora's father, who was a wealthy artist and himself a member of the Committee, "our girls encouraged the faltering ones to do their duty. Many a man who coldly turned our Committee down smiled at the pretty faces and dainty costumes of our Liberty Girls and wrote their checks without a murmur." "All the credit is due Mary Louise," declared Alora.
"Explain that, and I'm with you," announced Alora. "Explain that, and we're all with you!" declared Lucile Neal. "All I need is the opportunity," protested Irene. "You're such chatterboxes that you won't let me talk! Now listen. I'm not much of an executioner, girls, but I can plan and you can execute, and in that way I get my finger in the pie.
