help in the last 20 years." sighed Mrs.
Fulton.
Roy was inconsolable He wanted
Faith to bake up 100 or 200 apple pies
and leave them in a cold storage plant
near by, so he could have something to
eat between meals.
Tell you what I'll do" he said q
week before Faiths time was up. eff
you will bake pie every day and send
it over from the studio, I'll give you
my kodak. It's new, but I'm tired of
it anyhow"
Faith laughed, but declined the offer.
'"Then I'll give you the kodak any
way" said Roy, and he insisted on
Faith taking it, and his offer was so
pressing that she had not the strength
to refuse. At the earliest opportunity
she sent him photograph of a street
urchin eating pie, holding it in both
hands, and Roy delightedly framed it
and hung it up in his own room after
his mother had refused to let it adorn
the top Of the sideboard in the dining
room.
But Faith experienced the sincerest
regret in parting from Alice. The two
girls entered into what proved to be a
really genuine friendship. There was
not particle of pride or jealousy in
Alice's nature and not the least feeling

The friendship thus begun has lasted
to the present moment Then there
began a new life for Faith. She seem
ed at last to have found her place in
the world. Miss Varney was more
than delighted with her. "That girl, !"
she said to Francis Raleigh, who called
at her studio a month after Faith had
been there, has brought more new
ideas into my work than all my other
assistants. She will make her mark
in the profession"
Faith was in the next room and
could not help hearing what was said,
unknown to the artist. She trembled
with pleasure, and when she wrote
home that night she gave her mother
a glowing account. of her work and it's
hope for future success. 1t was with
the keenest pleasure that she was able
to inclose in this same letter $40,
which she had saved from her earnings
in the studio.

"It seems to me, Mr.. Kirk, that you

who sat in the family circle and some

From the study Of clouds Professor
e. III. Bigelow of the United States
weather bureau concludes that the or
binary cyclones which traverse our
country from west to east are not more
than two or three miles in depth, al
though their diameter is many hun
dreds of miles. In other words, their
motion does not affect the upper re-
gions Of the atmosphere. Pm the case
of hurricanes Professor BegeIow finds
that the depth is greater, amounting to
as much as five or six miles. But high
er currents blow directly across the
cyclonic and anticyclonic areas which
produce storms and fair weather at the
surface Of the earth. Some of Pro-
fessor Bigelow's conclusions upset for
mer ideas concerning the circulation Of
the atmosphere.

So the winter quickly passed, and
spring melted into summer, and then
a growing plan developed in Faiths
mind. She had not been able to crowd
it out of her "heart thoughts" as she
called any ideas that kept making her
think of other people. Even her rapid
ly developing artistic power could not
prevent the silent, increasing, power
full pressure of an idea that she had
also a mission to perform for the good
of people in certain peculiar way.
81 shall have to go home and talk it
over with father before l can settle it
right" she kept saying to herself all
summer, and when fall was ushered in
and she could see the frosty mornings
on the prairie and call up in memory
the sound of the prairie chickens out
in the cornfieldS and see the great
stretch of sky that was never possible
in the smoky city, with it's ugly piles
of buildings that shut out sun and air,
| then Faith grew really lonesome and
homesick, and one day she resolutely
told Miss Varney that she must go
| home for little visit.
81 don't blame you. my dear. Go out
home and breathe some fresh prairie

and come back with them, and we will
make our fortune"

that day.
She had written home, telling of her

Yin quite suddenly the day before from

how he knew that Faith was coming
home or, indeed, if he knew anything
about it, but it is very certain that he
was there at that time and that Mal-
com and Dorothy had given him a
hearty welcome.
you're just in time to help our
church celebrate our twenty-tifth an

His church was planning in a quiet
way for such an anniversary, and it
pleased him much to think that Faith
