Quiet Speakjno.

It Is impossible to over-estimate the
value OF quiet speaking. Quiet, gen
tie dignity can accomplish great
deal, and when face to face with those
who possess this calm, self.relant
manner OF speaking we can not fail to
realize It's tremendous importance. It
is delight and pleasure to hear
voice perfectly cultured and sympa-
thetic-a voice that rings with kind
ness. 1t Is an advantage, a valuable
asset In both the social and business
world.

ly left 1t open, had found no trouble In
getting in quietly, and trembling and
blushing she retreated to the kitchen
to think it over, and compose herself
for the meeting with him.
They had parted in anger, and she
scarcely knew how to receive him
now. She resolved that a little OF the
concession at least must come from
Jack. since he had left her so cavalier
ly and so unkindly without just cause
She was standing there still, bal
ancing the fork with which she had
just turned the turkey, idly in her
hand, when an arm stole around her
waist and Jacks voice, very humble
and loving, whispered in her ear:
"Will my Marion forgive and forget?'
All her pride vanished at once un-
der the spell OF the dear, familiar
voice, and turning, she shed happy
tears of rejoicing on her lovers shoul-
der.
And why haven't you written to
me, Jack?" she asked, reproachfully,
after few moments OF happy con
verse.
Il did, Marion. | wrote you long
letter, asking your forgiveness for the
miserable part | had taken In that
wretched quarrel, but | never received
a word In reply, and OF course ] sup
posed you were angry and unforgiying
toward me-"

line from you in all this weary year"
IF | could only have known It. but
not hearing made me so angry that !

should know where | was, or anything
about me"
You foolish, hottempered Jack"
said Marion, softly, but how did you
chance to come home, dexr?"
Il could not keep away" said Jack,
simply "As Thanksgiving drew near.

became too strong to be resisted, and
now that | have you again, I'm not

"All the better, Wen be married be

Hunters may hunt and shoot part
