 In response to the desired informa- ton. given with remarkable elearness by the bright eyed boy, Ford tossed him a coin and turned on bis heel. Ills wife paused and smiled into the up lifted face of the little girl
 What are you children doing hereF she asked. pointing to elaborate dia- grams formed o' small stones.

The average mainland we are not
dealing with cranks-likes a dash Of
coldness-sh we call it reserve?-in
a girl. something held back, tantaliZ-
ing hint of stores of passion reserved.
it may be. for future occasions or des-
tined to be locked within the heart for
ever. Needless to say, | don't mean a
disagreeable coldness-no man can en-
dure that-or the cruel GOODNESS of the
heartless coquette who desires power
above everything and would drag her
lovers at the wheels of the car of Jug
gernaut if it would minister to her am
bition or her vanity. The GOODNESS
which piques man to greater extremes
of loving-which is as vinegar to the
salad of life-is far otherwise. Proba-
bly-and herein lies its witchery-it is
more or less assumed. A role which
the bewildering woman chooses to play
and which fits her so eXquisitely adorns
her with such manifold new charms
that, so far from regretting it, the en-
raptured lover feels it is the one crown
ing touch needed to elevate passion to
the realms of the sublime. Cultivate,
then. this graceful, desirable habit of
GOODNESS, of Withholding as well as of
giving.

Sunday, but on other days it is more
stringy.
There are black beetles in the kitch-
en-, and sometimes they cook them in
Che dinner. which can't be holesome
when you are not strong. have tame
beetle as pet. Do not mind my being
uncomfortable, as do not think shall
last long.
Please send me some more money,
as o two shillings. if you can't spare it

going to leave at the half quarter, but
perhaps you would not like to be under
an obligation to his parents. Yr loving
