The seIf-ReIiant Girl.

The chief end of doctors is to teach
people to keep well with the minimum
Of doctoring. The chief end of au-
thority is to qualify people for self
government. The chief end of parents
and schools is to train children in
wisdom and knowledge, that they
may be able to take care of them
selves. That has long been under
stood in its relation to boys, writes E.
S. Martin. in Success Magazine. The
idea Of education for boys is to train
them up through obedience to liberty.
We want to make them free, and wise
enough to thrive on freedom. AS fast
as they can bear it we put upon them
increased responsibility for their own
conduct, and their own use of time
and of money. What we want of them
finally is not merely to respond with
docility to the care that is taken for
them, but gradually to become quail
fed to take care of somebody else. And
steadily and rapidly our civilization
has been coming to have a like atti-
tude toward girls. They are not boys
in skirts, but very different creatures;
their needs are different, their ideal
work in life is different, the processes
Of education which seem most profit
able for them are different; but in
hem, too, we grow more and more
81,
take care of themselves and eventually
of others; to develop, indeed, all pos
sible capacities that are not incom-
patible with one another, and with the
highest and best and most important
destiny that life holds for girls.

She took it, but paled with quick
fear when she saw the strange hand
writing. She fastened to her room.
There was neither date, address, nor
signature; but the message was cruel
Stella Anthony: Alfred vincent's
life is in your hands. Send to the ad-
dress below within one week after
October. so your written word that
you will marry Gideon Ingram, and
Vincent shall go free. Refuse to do
this and he shall die. Return this let
ter with your answer, or it will not
avail"
In the postscript were directions for
address; but Stella did not read them
She thrust the sinister sheet out of
sight in her pocket; yet the words
burned in her brain, written there for
ever. Motionless, she gazed at the
wall in useless endeavor to think.
Darkness fell. Still she stood there,
leaning against the wall now, though
she had no memory of moving. A step
caught her ear She started up, in
tent on defending herself against in
terruption. The Chinese boys harsh
voice came through the door telling
her that Alvin waited in the parlor to
say goodbye.
She went into the parlor. Alvin, a
man in years, yet ever the buoyant
boy, sprang forward with outstretched
hands to greet her.
"Oh, Miss Stella, the so miles are
done! Done pom honor, too. The
commissioners have examined and ac-
copied the work. They say it's o. X.
and the governments bound to re-
ceive it. And the blamed strike that
broke out yesterday won't hinder the
c. p. mite; they've got more men
coming on the sly. I'm going to my
Sacramento Office in the morning. l
came to say good Why, Miss Stella!
What's the matter?''
His exuberance was a tonic. Stella's
numb heart began to beat little color
to her lips, hope to her SOUL Yet she
did not speak, though she smiled.
What is it, Miss Stellar Alvin re-
peated. "You look as if you'd died
and come back, though not all of you.
There's awful things in-your facet"
