The Source of Iifa.

In paleozoic times It was the earth
Itself, not the sun. to which plant and
animal primarily stood behoiden for
existence. This gives us most In
structive glimpse into one planetologic
process. To the planets own internal
heat Is due the chief fostering of the
beginnings Of life upon Its surface.
Thus planet is capable Of at least
beginning to develop organisms with
out more than modicum OF help from
the central sun. We talk OF the sun
as the source Of life. and SO 1t is today
In the sense of being Its sustainer but
the real source was the earth itself.

Ancient Poster

It IS probably the general impression
that posters md handbills are modern
inventions, but 1t has been discovered
that the ancient Romans practiced tnis
method Of advertising. In digging at
Herculaneum there was brought to
light pillar covered with bills, one on
top Of another. The paste used to stick
them was made Of gum arabic. The
bills, when separated and examined,
were found to be programmes and an,

There now ensued series of ques-
tions from Uncle Jud in regard to Old
Cy-how long Martin had known him,
and all that pertained to his history.
1t was gladly recited by Martin. to-
gether with all the strange happen
ings in the wilderness, the finding of
Chip, the halfbreed's pursuit and alb
duction of her. and much else that has
been told. 1t was almost midnight ere
Martin was shown to the best front
chamber, and even then he lay awake
an hour. listening to the steady pratt
tie of a nearby brook and thinking of
all that had happened.
A tone of regret crept into his voice.
however when, after thanking Uncle
Jud and Aunt Mandy, and bidding
them good-by. he addressed Chip.
Il wish | could take you back with
me-" he said; your return would be
such a blessing to Aunt Comfort and
my wife. You may not believe 1t, but

tells this story of the late Bishop w.
W. Duncan of the Methodist Episcopal
church:
When Bishop Duncan first went to
Texas to preside at a state conference
there he was suffering severely with
hay fever. He was of a nervous dis
position and referred to his malady
with such frequency that it became a
bit tiresome to the preachers. A
brother got up to make a report and
in the course of it he used the term
grass widow"
Grass widow" cried the bishop.
I've heard that expression used half
a dozen times since I've been here. /
never heard it before. VIII you please
tell me, sir. what grass widow is?"
The offending brother looked as calm
and as serious as an undertaken dur
ing the storm of laughter which the
bishops speech had developed. When
things quieted down he said, very
gently:
"A grass widow. bishop, is woman
whose husband has died with hay
fever,"

on again, and repeat it for months and
months.
There was still another link in this
goes, who was only deferred from un-
wise haste by a cool-headed man.
You had better not go to Chip
now" Martin said to him on his return
from Peaceful Valley. she is an odd
child of nature, and you won't lose by
waiting. My advice to you is to for
get her for the present, find some
profitable occupation, and then, when
you have made little advancement
in life. go and WOO her If you can. To
try it now is foolish"
1t was cold comfort for Ray.
One of Chips first acts of emancipa-
tion was to write to Aunt Comfort and
Angie. assuring both of her love and
best wishes. and thanking them for all
they had done. Both letters were
cramped in chirography, but correct in
spelling, and in Angles was note for
Martin. asking that he draw 800 of
her money and send it to her. and as
much more to pay some one to follow
Old Cy. The latter request Martin ig-
nored. however, for he had already set
the machinery of newspaperdom at
work. and an advertisement for infor-
nation of that wanderer was flying
far and wide.
OF the money sent her. Chip made
odd and quite characteristic uses. only
one of which needs mention-the pur-
chase of a banjo. Had Ray known
this. and that the tender memory it
invoked was the reason for this in
vestment. he would have had less
cause for grief. But Ray did not.
which was all the better for him.

Aunt Mandy and Chip now bestirred
themselves as never before. The
dressmaker was left to her own re-
sources. Martin and Uncle Jud rigged
fishpoles and started for the brook.

And now Rays position in this COM
plex situation occurred to Martin; for
this young mans interest in Chip and
almost heart-broken grief over her dis
appearance had long since betrayed
his attachment.

Terrible Appetite For Chicken.

Henry E. Dixey was sneering about
the squabble that went on between
two brave young men over a Carnegie
medal.
1T is not a very ennobling thing,
he said, ito see two heroes fighting
and jawing over a medal for heroism.
Mr.. Carnegie should have thought of
this when he originated his hero fund.
The taste for medals, once formed.
is worse than the taste for chicken.
You know what Mrs. G. Washington
White said of her husband. don't you!
my Wash she said. is the wust
man for chicken you ever see. Why.
if he can't get a chicken no other way,
he'll go and buy one"

CHAPTER xxvIi-(continued).

Martin had expected this news to be
overpowering. and a Good Cod" from
Uncle Jud. and gasping Land
sakes," from Aunt Mandy proved that
u was.
Chips face. however. was study.
First she grew pale. then flashed a
scared glance from one to another of
the three who watched her. and then
almost did her shame and hatred OF
this vile parent find expression.

And Martin. realizing its futility.
made no further protest.
Something of chagrin also came to
him. for. broad-minded as he was. he
realized how partial neglect. the mar.
