neither himself eats nor allows his
debtor to eat, and this extraordinary
starvation contest is kept up until
either the debt is paid or the creditor
gives up the siege, and In the latter
case the debt is held to be Cancelled.
However strange 1t may appear to
Europeans, this method Of enforcing q

universal usage among the Mahrattns.

course, tho strongest stomach wins
the day. After all. we have little right

1t is nearly seven years now since
Baby Willie was laid to sleep in
Greenwood. Two little girls are
playmates for Eddie and Charlie in
Mrs. Aiken's nursery, and another
little grave marks a second bereave-
ment. But the mother has learned
we'll the lesson Impressed upon her
heart when the selfish sorrow so near
ly blighted her home.
The little ones God has taken can
never be forgotten. Tears still fall
over their pictures, the silent souve-
Mrs of their brief lives, but the duties
to the living are never forgotten in
sorrowing for the dead. What God
has taken to His own care the mother
has learned to resign submissively,
thanking Him for the blessings spared,
shutting out no sunlight He gives and
treasuring gratefully the memories Of
brightness with the sorrow of the little
lives ended. York News.

draperies still clinging around her,
but her face lifted with look upon IL
that went TO Fred's heart. It was
the expression Of so much penitence,
such heart-stricken remorse, that ne
held out both hands, to gather her
closely in his arms. Then she spoke:
''Forgive me, Fred, and stay with

1t was still daylight on the summer
afternoon when Fred Aiken came
home. Before he entered the house
he drew deep sigh of relief, seeing
the shutters of every window opened
ana the light shaded only by inner
curtains. In the sitting room Eddie
and Charlie, long banished because
they were noisy, were building block
houses. Their dress showed plainly
that Mamie had no longer sole con-
troll of their appearance, and on each
little face was serene happiness, as
if some long-felt restraint was gone.
Susy, in dress OF black, thin goods,
had put snowy ruf]es at wrists and
throat and, for the first time since
her baby died, had arranged her haiI
fashionably and becomingly. Upon
her face, still pale and thin, was q
smile Of welcome for Fred, and the
kiss of greeting he gave her was cor
daily returned.
"Papal" the boys shouted, "see u.
tumble down the tower mammi

And down came the rattling blocks
without any quick cry of restraint fol
their noise or the gleeful shouts of the
little ones.
