CHAPTER XVIII.


Curtis shared the quarters of his ami
able host, kostakes Effendf, in the front
room of the grocery. Panayota and her
father slept next door. The Americans
bed consisted of blankets laid upon two
tables. placed side by side. As the bian-
kets had been prodgally bestowed, he
found the couch sufficiently comfortable
He lay on his back with his arms under
his head, gazing out into the moonlit
square. Despite the fatigue and excite
ment of the day. he was not the least par
ticle sleepy. The Cretan night was too in
tense. The moonlight, wherever it fell,
was passionately white, and the shadows
though sketched in charcoal. Rows of
soldiers wrapped in their blankets were
sleeping in the square. Occasionally one
sat up looked about and then lay down
again. Once, when he was about to browse
off. he was reused to consciousness by a
faint mewing overhead, and calling softly,
kitty! Kitty The mewing ceased, for
oriental cats are summoned by means of a
whistle between the teeth, similar to the
sound made by a peanut rooster.
That's the grocers cat unused Curtis
Poor animal, she doesn't know what's

as day, DO you know where my folks are?

Advice.
Written for The Evening Star

Written for The Evening Star.
Oh, We who are burdshed with sorrow
And crushed by theSworld's cruel scorn.
oh. We whose hearts may be bleeding
With wounds that IRE jagged and torn
Turn away from the world that has crushed Won
But cover your wounds with your pride,
And turn to new page Of life
Just though your old self had died
Put self awLv in the backgrounds;
Yes, bury It deep from the light;
1t is that which has tortured and hurt you
So put II away from your sight
Stretch out land to the fallen.
List not t. the jeers of the horde.
For you, you hsve risen above them
And walk in the path of the Lord
Your enemies, you must forgive them,
Despite what they've done unto you:
Twas the voice Of the master that snake
These words: They know not what thew do ,
Spend not your time In praying
Good deeds are better than prayers:
So stretch out hand to the sinking
And guide their footsteps from snares
Remember oh Child Of Misfortune
That though Others deny you their love
And though your cross may be heavy,
There's u crown that is waiting above
ANON.

BREAKING ENGAGEMENTS.

In discussing the subject of broken en-
gagements, Sarah Grand says:
1T does not seem to me that there
can be any doubt that ii is iustifiable to
break off engagements only under speslaa
circumstances which may threaten 10
bring uphappiness on the pair should they
marry. At the same time | do not think
that an engagement should ne broken
off for any but the most serious reasons
and | believe the contempt we feel and
the stigma which attaches to the man Of
many engagements and to the girl who
has broken off one after another are the
involuntary outcome of Il knowledge of
character. We know from experience
that people of that kind, with no proper
sense of responsibility. are mere froth on
the surface of society. undesirable as ac-
quaintanccs and not worth counting as
citizens.
But. If engagements Were To he ire
vocablc. the chances of misery in mar
rage would be double what they are
now, and, unhappily, they are only too
numerous as ii is. OF course no honor
able person will enter into an engagement
without the honest intention Of fulfilling
it. and, therefore. when such people be-
come engaged and afterward break it off,
II is pretty certa n to be Tor good and
sufficient reason"

ORIGIN OF THE MONTHS NAMES

January was named after the Roman
god. Janus; the deity with two faces

gazing forward To the future" writes
Clifford Howard in the Ladies Home
Journal. February comes from the
Latin word februo, to purify 1t was
customary for the Romans to observe
festivals of publication during that
month. March owes its name 10 the old
god OF war. Among the Saxons this
month was known as Lenct, meaning
spring; and this is the origin of our word
Lent April was named from the Latin
apcrio, to open. in signitcation of the
opening Of flowers. The SaXons called
the month EaStre. in honor of their god
dcSS of spring, from which comes our
word Easter. May was named after tho
Roman goddess Maia and June was So-
called in honor of Juno, July was nance,
in honor of julius Caesar, and August
gets lis name from Augustus Caesar.
