JN\ chatting with an old schoolmate
she had run across in the walt
ing room, while her husband was see
ing about their baggage. Presently, a
little old lady came in and sat down
near them. Her small, faded face
wore a slight flush, and every now md
then a feetlng smile would break
across it. The dress she wore was
rusty but neat, and the occasional fur
tive glance she bestowed upon It was
a bit apprehensive, though her eyes
were sparkling with anticipation.
Dear me, II believe I've lost itw
She started and looked about her in a
half-frlghtened way.

all at once, then contract and widen
again, while the blood pulsed I'D to
her withered cheeks.
MY boy" She started up from her
seat, tears glittering between her eve
nds, and the next instant a stalwart
form was holding the frail, shabby one
close to his breast and kissing away
the tears of joy.
Rosalind sat still for one GREATNESS
second; then she got up, too, and stood
beside them, an eXhilarant red SPOT
burning in each cheek. Into her ewes

Thank God, there had been no shrink
ing, no hesitation, no wavering!
Am l not to come in for q tiny
shareT she asked brightly, with the
luminous smile that belonged to her.
The little old lady turned suddenly,
all other expressions swallowed ND in
that of blank astonishment. "You,
Rosalind!' she cried, great gladness
breaking over her face, land here

time, and neither of us dreaming I"
Rosalind interrupted her with little
ripping laugh. "I knew it all along"

look springing to her eyes. There was
a wistful, half-appealing expression
upon her face as she went on, gazing
timidly at the richly dressed young
woman before her: Maybe, though,
you could tell me. guess you've been
about good bit. I'm such a stay-at-
home myself
Were you going somewhere? Ex-
pecting someone's" Rosalind interposed
kindly.
MY son and his wife are coming"
she answered with a touch Of pride.
"They were married last week in New
York. They don't expect me here"
she went on. 1--WE live a good piece

But he said they'd be here this

'Then probably that 1920 train is
the one. don't think you need worry
about It."
THANK you" The little old lady
smiled again, in sudden relief. "I don't
go about much you see," she explain
ed, "and when do, I'm apt to get n
bit muddled." She cast an apologize
look into the young woman's fresh.
animated face, wondering inwardly ut
the beauty of the furs that enveloped
her slender, graceful neck. Then she
looked down at her own worn serge
with the flimsy, Tapping capes and her
lips twitched. For the instant n
spasm Of nervousness possessed her.
What II, after ALL Pete's bride should

GAME WORTH THE CANDLE.

There was never rose without a thorn,
Never a cake that we ate and had,
The COW nad ever a crumpled horn
To toss the maiden all forlorn
Until she was yet more sad.
The apples over the farmers wall
Were probably grated from Eden's
tree,
But when we had eaten them, after all,
Irespassing somewhere about nightfall,
They commonly failed to agree
And love, my Phyllida, love the rose,
Love, the apple that tempted Ever
Because of the thorn that about it grows,
Because of the greenness that nothing
shows,
Apple and rose shall We leave?
No, my Phyllida, come what may,
Bleeding fingers or broken hearts;
Live and love for our little day,
Tear off armor and cast away
Shields against Cupids darts!

squaring a House TO the Street.

My house, IL by is feet, standing on
posts with the chimney in the center,
Is not square with the street and has
to be moved. The front part will have
to be moved 10 feet, and the rear part
feet.
The best way would be to first move
the house to the place and position
required. The house should be raised
six or eight inches higher than re-
CURED, and after the stone wall Is
built it can be lowered down ON it.
This makes a complete job. Place a
stick of timber across each corner OF
the building, letting the ends rest on
blocking on the ground outside of the
wall, and another timber on the post
in the cellar and under the sill to
block on outside; these last timbers
should be 3 and IL feet from each cor
ner. After the walls are built, and the
building resting on them, these beams
are removed and wall built up to stills.

Distinguishing Sex In Geese.

1t is not easy ON the part Of the
uninitiated to tell the difference be-
tween the goose and the gander, especi-
ally in the larger and heavier varie-
ties. The following general descrip-
ton is applicable to most cases: The
male is larger than the female. The
head Of the goose is smaller, the neck
slightly thinner and she is deeper in
body. The call OF the gander Is loud,
long and shrill, while that of the
goose is much softer. A way to dis
cover sexes is to separate a flock by
driving part ON each side of a build
ing or fence, and 1t lis then compare

by their calls. During the breeding
season the gander is inclined to be
