discouraged But Ezra now Is4d the
pebbles to guide him, if he could
only hold out 3fs
II! He could barely move his arms
and legs. Numb, choking. exhausted,
he once or twice stopped swimming
from sheer weariness.s His feet hung
down as If weighted; his body SEEM
ed almost as water-sodden as the
bundle he still mechanically pushed
before him. With Titanic effort he
fought the fearful leaden fatigue. Red
against the blackness he saw the
doctors last words: Remember Ben
MES life is in that package"
Gr-r-r-r-r! Deeper, louder, nearer
rumbled the rolling pebbles. Lower
sank Morton's feet. And now he
began to feel the drag of the under
tow. It sucked him down and back.
With tremendous struggle he drew
his feet up. A wave caught him and
rolled him over and over. He swal-
lowed considerable water, but his jaws
gripped the package like a bulldogs.
Come what might, he would never
let go Of that.
A few more blind strokes and his
feet touched bottom. AS the wave
rolled back, he hooked his fingers into
the flints and held hard; then rose,
grasped his bundle and stumbled UP
the beach. Safe above the waves, he
dropped on the rainy pebbles, Their
hard, wet slope seemed the most de-
licious bed he had ever known. But
Bonnie! Would he be in time?
Rising stiffly, he pulled on his
clothes and staggered forward: storm
ed the steep, slippery bluff; threaded
the path, Bennie's path, through the
spruces and came against his own
cabin, with the lamp shining from
the uncurtained chamber. He caught
one glimpse of the doctors set jaw,
Of his wife covering her face with
her hands. A moment later he lift
ed the latch and stumbled in. Too
exhausted for words, he collapsed on
the floor, holding out the soggy pack
age to Stitham. The doctor seized 1t
and disappeared in the bedroom.
1t was morning when Morton awoke.
Stitham was standing by his bedside
Morton looked up appealingly, fear
fully.
"It's all right" said the doctor

, TIIH ls ROAD QUESTION


Annapolis Especially The Good
roads Commission and the people OF
anne arundel County were in con-
suitatlon here upon the question OF
me line of the road through or in
the county upon which the state is
ABOUT to spend S132,000.- The court
mouse where the consultation took
place, was well filled. The follow
ing members of the Commission were
present: The Governor, John M
Tucker, chairman; DR.. Ira Remsen.
samuel M. Shoemaker and Travers G.
Hutton, George T. Melvin was called
to the chair.
Governor Crothers stated that the
amount to spend was $4,000 in
Anne Arundel. This was only a be-
ginning, for all felt that if the money
appropriated by the state was weII
expended other appropriations were
70 follow. The commission was here
TO listen to what the people had to
say, and 1t was wisest that all should
unite upon what was best for the
general interest, and then to trust
TO the future to have personal in
terests gratified.
VIM. G. Gishell said that he
thought that the first object of the
commission ought to be to connect
baItlmore with the capital of the
state-Annapolis. He favored the
route from Annapolis to the Light
Street bridge.
j. Writ Randall said that all the
people OF the state were interested
In this matter. 1--WE should.'' he
said, look upon it as state matter.

from the southern end of the county,
near the Calvert line, to Annapolis.

road from Friendship to Annapolis.

SOME HOUSEHOLD DANGERS.


After filing lamp, too, be careful
to wipe the outside dry, for any trio
kle of oil on the sides might easily
catch DIRE.
Don't allow the oil to stand in the
lamp. If it is not burned it should
be thrown away, 1t gathers impuri-
ties and increases the risk of an ex.
plosion. For the same reason always
keep the paraffin can well corked.
Be careful when you light fire in
the kitchen that there is plenty Of
water in the boiler. Otherwise, when
the cold water rushes into the hot
boiler it is likely to crack it.
Don't put clothes round the fire to
dry and then go to bed and leave
them. A spark may easily fly out
of the fire and set them alight New
or leave a wood fire unguarded. AL
ways put metal fire screen or some
thing of that sort in front of it to
prevent the sparks flying.
Don't try to make fire draw by
holding a newspaper up in front of it.
If it doesn't set fire to the mantel
piece or to your own clothes, it may
ny blazing up the chimney and set
that alight.
If you use gas stove never leave
it with anything that might boil over
cooking upon it. 1t is quite possible
for soup or milk boiling over to put
out the gas fame, and the escaping
gas will fil up the room. And then
as soon as somebody comes In with
q light-bang!

CHILDRENS LIES.
Give Small People Large Objective
World to Absorb Them.

A general conclusion from a study
OF children's lies contributed by G.
Stanley Hall to the Appleton's Maya
zine is that children should have an
active life and see events of stir
ring character. S'They need" Pro-
fessor Hall says, "an objective word
varied, large and active enough to
greatly absorb them, and then they
will not need to improvise and create.
The dull, uniform monotony of school
life and lessons leaves not only an
aching void but a mass of surplus
energy and craving in the child, so
that It must often either resign it.
self to mental poverty or else ex-
patiate far and wide and with con-
siderable abandon into the world of
shams in order to create the outside
interests 1t does not lind presented
to it."
Professor Hall thinks that parents
and teachers are often directly respon-
sible for untruth. To press children
for confessions of their own misdeeds
or those of their playmates, he says,
is to present one of the strongest
temptations to evasion and deceit, if
not to direct falsehood." Even in
the family children often have kind
of freemasonry which makes it bad
form to tell to parents the misdeeds
of one another.
''The same principle applies" the
writer continues, against too great
intrusion into the private life of
children. All who have studied them
realize that there are masses of crude
superstitions which they very early
learn to repress; that a little later
there are minor misdeeds and some
times Immoral habits that persistent
ly seek refuge in the darkness Of con-
cealment. Every child needs to have
domain of life and experience all It's
own, sacred from intrusion; and the
temptation of fond parents to main
tain complete confidence with their
growing boys and girls is met by a
natural instinct Of resistance on the
part of the child, which is often mani
tested by reservations, prevarications
and perhaps by positive lies. Hence,
a wise policy OF letting alone and OF
seeming to ignore and of respecting
the child's own personality as inviola.
BILE removes another of the tempta-
lions to lie."
Professor Hall gives some strange
cases Of what he calls pathological
lies. One little girl invented a baby
sister for the benefit of her teacher
and schoolmates and after conduct
ing her through several months of
vicissitude wound up her career with
a death and funeral. Another child
appeared at school in black and said
that her mother had died. A few
months later she related that her
father had married again; but there
had been neither death nor wedding
in her family. The love of Lies for
their own sake can, it seems, be "as
strong as that of drink, quite apart
from all motives of love of attention
and of gain" If the withdrawal of
attention and sympathy and credence
fails in these cases the calling of a
doctor Is recommended.

The literary style of men OF action.
when these men have a style of their
own, probably owes its excellence
largely to the lack of that self-con.
seriousness, maintains The Dial, that
painful striving for effect. which mars
the utterances of men of letters. ''The
mere writer" says the London Specta.
tor in a late instructive article, "who
must, like silkworm, spin out his
precious material from inside him,
can hardly hope to rival the man OF
genius whose imagination has been
quickened and whose tongue has been
loosened by what Burke calls the 'ov.
ermastering necessities of events"
The men who make writing a profes.
sion are commonly the men who do
not do things to write about, as
Walter Bagehot used to complain;
and, he might have added, the men
who do things are usually too modest
to write about them.
