that in Abraham seed all the families of

themselves were not the seed and did not

the promised seed Of Abraham and did not
accomplish its predicted work of blessing all
the families of the earth.

a picture of the English camp fire in the
glade, with the English king standing in its
light and the hooded figure bending from
the shadow behind him, its white taloned
hand resting on his sleeve. An instant she
shvcred at it, then again her foot stirred
with uncomfortable restlessness. If he was

Her voice broke as the memory of that
time passed over her like bitter waters, AID
She was obliged to stand silent before him,
steadying her lip with her teeth, until the
waters had fallen. She had a faint con-
sciousness that he was speaking to her, but
she did not understand what he said. she
did not care Her only wish was for words
that should send him away that she
might be free to sink down beside the Old

of a great body of people rousing the
echoes with jubilant shouting.

Mastery Strategy.

From the New York Times.
A three-year-old boy who was attending
a kindergarten school was asked by his
teacher to take another little tot home re-
minding him that he would receive a cent
for doing so. He took his charge to his
door, but failed to receive the promised
payment from the chid's mother and when
he went home told his mother the circum-
stances. His mother warned him not to
ask for the coin, and he gave his promise.
About half hour afterward he came back
from play and gleefully called to his
mother:
