A GOOD COMBINATION.

independence and Adaptability Coed
Qualities to BE Joined.
Zone Of the Burrills has gone to q
sanatorium," announced Miss Rhoda.
"And another one has been so upset in
her nerves getting her off, she's down
sick at home, and Phebe Tilfords there
to look after her. Phebe's as much
cousin to the Burrills as she is to tho
Atoms, and they agreed to spare her.
OF course, they're not well there yet,
but Lucy's better, and Ellen's as well
as she ever will be, guess, and they
couldn't expect to keep Phebe forever.
az shouldn't wonder If she'd be glad
of a change, even to a new sort OF
nerves. The Atoms aren't exactly an
easy-going family when they're well,
and when they're slck-chuell-full Of
notions and WITNESSES, every blessed
one of them, and each ones particular
pet crankiness like poison 10 all the
others. 1 don't wonder 1t ends up in
breakdowns and hySteria. But with
the Burrills-well, am surprised at
things going wrong there. Such de-
voted family, and everything to make
life easy, and good constitutions TO
start with. 1 don't understand It,
Mrs. Benney shifted. (Which Bur
rilI girl has gone to the sanatorium >"
she inquired.
"Cecilia-no, Emily. Cecilia is the
one sick at home. Ne, that's wrong.
Eanily's at home and Cecilia We'll, I
declare, I'm not sure, after all, wheth-
er it isn't Lucretia I'm thinking Of. 1
always do get those BurriE girls mixed,
they're so alike"
Mrs. BOnney shifted again. That's
what's the matter with them, I believe.
There isn't an individual idea or con-
viction or taste in the whole six and
their mother. Everything that comes
up they sit in family conclave and con-.
slider, and agree on family opinion
about, and that ends it. They live in
a little Burrillized world Of their own,
and 1t isn't good for them. It's too
monotonous, and it's beginning to get
on their nerves. They need a good STIR
ring up, and hope Phebe'll give it to
them"
"They said at the Atoms she was
such a soothing person." observed Miss
Rhoda, doubtfully.
"She would be, there. Phebe's indie
pendent, but she's adaptable-and it's
good combination, Rhoda. Independ-
ence and adaptability! There'd have
been no nervous breakdowns with eth
er the Burri1ls or Atoms If they'd had
them both. It's what makes family
life comfortable and keeps 1t interest
ing. That's why everybody wants
Phebe She always blends, but she al
ways adds a spice"
"She Does" agreed Miss Rhoda. But
1 wish she wasn't going to spice the
Burrills quite so soon after blending
with the Atoms. How about her own
nerves?"
Another result of the same com
bination," said Mrs Benney, triumph
antly. "She hasn't got any,"

You know that as well as 1 do" he
said slowly

You know that as well as 1 do" he
said, slowly.
Janet left him to his paper, and wrote
four letters exactly alike, informing
the second generation of Hilditches
that their father was in his accustom-
ed health, that the weather was aus
picious for the cane crop, and that there
was no news Of interest.
"And there isn't any Of interest to
Them" she unused, cynically, as she
sealed the letters, and then put them
in the mail box beside the road.
1t was not very easy at first to either
OF them, for Grandfather HildItch was
not accustomed to being assisted about
everything he did, and Janet had to
compel herself to discuss her own af-
fairs with him; but as the days went
by, they gradually found common
ground. Janet discovered that there
was a certain fascination in driving
through the fields, watching what
changes a day and night had made
there, and 1t was quite exciting to
count over the big flock Of turkeys
every night to see that not one was
missing. The bronze on their wings
glistened and glowed.
This is a pine mast year, honey"
grandfather explained, when she re-
marked upon their beauty. "You know
1t falls only every second year, and
It makes the finest turkey meat In the
world. See those four great two-yes r
olders? I shall ship those to the chill
dren for Thanksgiving. I save the
pick Of the gobblers In each years
hatch to keep over. At two years
old they are at their best"
where shall you go for Thanks
giving this time, grandpa?" Janet In
quired.
ITO TOmmy's, l reckon. You re-
member, I was at your fathers last
year."
Janet did remember. She had not
thought of 1t at the time, but she now
recalled that although there had been

thing!" said Janet Indignantly to her
self, and wondered why. A mischievous
little twinkle crept beneath her lowered
lids after she had pondered a while.
Grandfather" she exclaimed, sudden
ly, 81 am going to stay four weeks with
you, instead of onew
$50? You think you can stand the
country that long" He put his hand
softly on her head.
I'll love 1t, If only you will let me
feel that l am helping YOU"
Helping me, little daughter? Why,
OF course. You shall do anything you
like-you can drive me round the farm
and read to me In the evenings"
"And 1 want to be your secretary,
too. See how your hand shakes. Let
me do all your writing-farm accounts
and ALL"
ITO be sure, to be sure"
well, then, this is your day to an
swer these letters. Tell me Just what
to say to them ALL"
Grandfather hesitated, and Janet
looked away. She knew well that she
was asking him to give up one Of his
greatest pleasures.
''Why, let them know that am well,
and tell them the news about the place.

tiers more than you have the receiving
of them. Ny little girl wanted to help
me"
sour little girl needs to take q course
in correspondence" laughed Uncle
Tom. 81 never in all my days read
such unsatisfactory letters"
Nor 1 !"
"Nor 1 !"
Janet could bear no more. Half
laughing, half-crying, she sprang up,
and from the corner of the mantei
took down a budget of letters. The
children's letters always had lain there
from week to week.
you needn't say a word-not one
of you!" she cried. "I've taken my
course in correspondence, and learn
ed right here-from these very let
ters-that there isn't anything worth
writing about except the weather and
the family health. 1 told you grand
father was well, and told you the
Kind Of weather.
She flew out Of the room, and down
to the kitchen to help Miss Indy.
They'll not misunderstood, either"
she thought. Father will give me a
lecture, but l suspect that he will do
his own writing after this, and that
the others won't dare not to do better
But, oh, they do love him-they do

THE LABRADOR HERO.

DIR. GrenfeH Is an AII-arOund Handy
Man I'm the Arctic Region.
DR.. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the hero of
the Labrador coast, is more than a
physician and a missionary. He is a
scientist and IN all-round handy man.
He has steamer with hospital amid
ships, and he Is the master and navi
gator Of 1t; he can amputate a leg,
contract the walls Of a pleuritic lung
by shortening the ribs or cure by the
use Of modern methods, but with
homemade appliances, q man suffer
ing from a certain form Of paralysis ;
100 miles from a shlpyard he can
raise the stern Of his little iron
steamer out of the water by the rough
application of the principles OF ny
draulics and repair her propeller; he
can handle dynamite and blast an ex-
cavation under one Of his simple hos
pltal buildings; he can start a lumber
mill and teach the inhabitants Of
Labrador not only how to handle a
saw, but how to sell the product for
a living wage he can establish a CO.
operative store, and what is better,
make 1t pay.
He is a magistrate Of the territory
he traverses. and one Of the tales they
tell of him concerns the way in which
he compelled one Of the most prom
inent merchants of Newfoundland to
come into church, confess publicly
that he had wronged a fellow man
and pay the latter a thousand dollars.
Then DR.. Grenfell told the congrega-
ton that they must not speak to the
old sinner for a year, after which, If
he showed signs meet for repentance,
they might associate with him again.
The merchant fed the place rather
than endure that punishment DR..
Grenfell is now planning to introduce
reindeer into Labrador in order to
further the Industrial development of
the country.

Hannah Binding Shoes.

Poor lone Hannah,
Sitting at the window binding shoes.
Faded, wrinkled,
Sitting. stitching, in a mournful muse.
Bright-eyed beauty once was she,
When the bloom was on the tree;
Spring and winter
Hannah at the window binding shoes.
Not a neighbor
Passing nod or answer will refuse
To her whisper,
rs there from the fishers any news?"
Oh, her hearts adrift with one
On an endless voyage gone!
Night and morning,
Hannalh's at the window binding shoes.
Fair young Hannah,
Ben, the sunburnt fisher, gayly woes;
Hale and clever,
Fer a willing heart and hand he sues,
May-day skies are all aglow,
And the waves are laughing so!
For her wedding
Hannah leaves her window and her shoes
May is passing;
Mld the apple-DouSnS pigeon Coos
Hannah shoulders,
For the mild Southwestern mischief brews
Round the rocks of Marblehead,
Outward bound, a schooner sped;
Silent, lonesome,
Hannah's at the window binding shoes.
IT'S November
Now no tear her wasted cheek bedews,
From Newfoundland
Not sail returning will she lose,
Whispering hoarsely: Fishermen,
Have you, have you heard of Benz"
Old with watching,
Eannah's at the window binding shoes.
Twenty winters
Bleach and tear the ragged shore she
views.
Twenty seasons
Never one has brought her any news.
Still her dim eyes silently
Chase the white sails Ger the sea:
Hopeless, faithful,
