listen to few words from Sister Ruth.
4 slight. girlsh figure stepped to the
center of the circle from somewhere in
the shadow. The light of the gasoline
torch fell full upon her face-a face of
wonderful purity and sweetness. There
was a beauty in the level brows, the
long dark !ashes of the eyes and the
full red lips that the bonnet of the
corps could not hide, and there was
supple grace of figure that the plain
blue dress did not wholly conceal.
She bcgal. to speak in Il voice full Of

Mathcr did not know, for he paid no
heed to her words. He was not an i'm
questionable young man-indeed, by his
friends he was adjudged unusually
hard headed and abundantly possessed
Of that quality generally termed 'hOrSe
sense" But there was something that
appealed to him strongly in that face
beneath the regulation poke bonnet
He did not take his eyes from her
while she was speaking. and when she
had finished and stepped back into the
shadow he was aware of a strange
feeling, half of sadness. half of buoy
ancy. He elbowed his way out and
walked homeward. strangely perturbed
and strangely elated.
The following night and every night
after that Mathcr attended the street
corner meetings. If Sister Ruth spoke
or prayed or sang he was supremacy
happy; if Others filed her place he was
aware of feeling of disappointment.
Being unskilled in the analysis of emo
ton. he did not recognize the trend of
it all. He only knew that he wanted to
be near her. to see her face. to listen
to her voice.
One night as the women of the corps
were passing the tambournes for the
collection he beheld Sister Ruth com
ing in his direction through the crowd.
She was smiling and holding grateful

Going to Sleep.

IF you have never done so, watch
yourself go to Sleep said physician,
land you will be amazed to see how
tense your position is. Your knees are
drawn and Bonded. your back is
curved, the arms are held more or less
tightly to the body and the fingers are
folded. The eyelids are held shut, not
allowed TO droop over the eyes, the
neck is strained and the head seems to
touch the pillow only at the temples.
The points Of contact with the bed are
really at the temples, shoulders, hips
knees and ankles. Now look at child
sleeping. Every muscle is relaxed,
every joint is inert and prone on the
couch; his little frame finds rest at
every point. The features are undone,
so to speak, the nose widens, the mouth
droops, the eyelids close easily, and
with every line of expression obliterat-
ed he finds utter and complete repose
The abandon makes him fall out of bed
sometimes, such an inert body has he
become. You may initiate him even TO
that degree, if necessary. Begin at
your toes to relax, loosen all your
joints and muscles, unbend your fin
gers, shake your wrists loose, take the
curve and strain out of your neck, go
all in pieces, in fact, and see how the
days fatigue seems to slip off from
you, and the gentle mantle of rest and
oblivion to infold you like a garment"
