 Ambiguity of policy, wrong classi- fication and acceptance of sub-norma risks, is an injustice to every normal assured which we may place upon our books. The company which in vites expensive litigation through poorly or mysteriously written poli- cies. pays claims on sub-normal risks or invites disaster by accepting wrong classifications, should not have the confidence of those sensible per sons who carry accident insurance for what it is. l am convinced from conversation with many of those present today that there is a tenden- cy on the part of those most deeply interested in the success and welfare of the accident business to insist that more of the staple form of insurance be rendered. rather than that time be spent in the elaboration of the label and the decoration of the policy, as has been the case during these latter years of the accident business in the United otates. I suggest that if it is the earnest desire of this body to in- crease the confidence which the in surance authorities now have in the accident and casualty business, that

OUR CT ILDREN'S CORNER
THE OTTER FAMILY.

ID ENEATH the roots of a giant
n tree on the river bank, far back
in the forest, the Otter family
make their home. Among all the
forest people o will not findsa more
ideal family life. There goes Father
Otter now, to give his children their
first fishing lesson. "Aim always" he
says, "at a salmon or a trout, for
they make the best eating" And down
he dives to reappear a moment later
with a squirming fish, held tightly be-
tween his teeth.
When the children are a bit older he
teaches them the delights of tobog-
gaming down a long, smooth hillside,
and they slide over the dried grass
almost as easily as If it were hard
packed snow.
What do you say, mother" he asks
one morning, ito a seashore trip? I
think the children are sturdy enough
now for a good long tramp"
Just what l was thinking" says
she. "a taste of salt water will do
us all good" So away they start, their
sleek brown coats glistening in the
sun, their ears pricked with excite
ment.
They lunch on frogs and %hornpouts
from a wayside pond and then all in
dulge in a jolly water frolic. Since
this is a pleasure trip, they are deter
mined to get all the fun they can out
of it.
On the third day they are Joined by
another otter family, also eager for a
taste of sea food. Together they beat
through the salt marshes, feasting on
cells and other tidbits. IN the fourth
morning they reach the sea, blue and
shining in the autumn sunlight.
Oh, what a joy to plunge in and
breast the rolling waves! The children
hang back at first, but their father
gives them a sharp whistle of encour-
agement, and soon they are romping
and frolicking like a band of merry
boys and girls. How delicious is the
tang of the seafish!
After a jolly holiday week, back they
trudge and swim to their home on the
river bank. Among the forest people
the otter is the cleverest fisherman,
the %jolliest playfellow n the most de-
voted of fathers.-Daily News.

lovers speaking of their wedding day.

For a moment it held her incredu-
lous. Then, faint and sick, all the
foundations of her faith reeling, she
slowly raised her eyes to him in accu-

1%norning!" They looked at each other
now equally sincere and aghast.
But you have seen him; you've been
near him?" he demanded.
She gasped the whole truth.
This morning! he left me. He kissed
me-"
Then, my God, where is he?" He
gave a wide glance around him. Then
raising his voice, Stay where you
are!" he commanded, and began to run
from her through the trees.
She stood with her hand to her breast,
with the empty pouch spinning in front
Of her, hearing him crashing in the
shrubbery. Then, in sudden panic at
finding herself alone, she fled back
down the willow avenue, and burst out
on the broad drive in full view of the
house.
As she came into the hall she heard
Kerr'si voice. He was at the telephone
speaking names she had never heard in
sentences whose meaning was too much
for her stunned senses to AXE in; but
none the less while she listened the
| feeling crept over her that there was
some strange revolution taking place in
him.. 1t might be transformation; it
might be only a swift increase of his

seemed to her superhuman. The house
was full of him-full of his rapid move
ment, his ringing orders. If he knew
that the sapphire was gone, what was
the meaning of this bold command?
Was he, knowing all lost, plunging gal
lantly into the clutches of his enemies?
Or was this only a blind, a splendid
piece of effrontery to cover his too long
delayed retreat? She sat Ikea joint
less thing on the fauteuil in the large
hall, and all at once saw him in front
of her.
She looked at his hat, his overcoat,
his slim glittering stick-all symbols of
departure.
Wait here" he said, and turned
away.
She watched his shadow dance across
the tagging, and as it slipped over the
threshold she thought DULY that now
the sapphire was gone everyone was
going from her.

was all she wanted! But Harry fell
back. He changed countenance. He
recovered himself.

you to what you've chosen"
She met it steadily. I'm glad you
say so. I've been thinking for days
that it would be better So"

looking at her earnestly. "Of course, 1
know the reason of that. I meant 1t to
be different, but now there's no help.

With a motion too quick for her to
escape he stopped and kissed her
lightly. To that momen she had pitied
him. but his touch she loathed. She
thrust him away with both hands. He
turned. Witout speaking, without look
ing at her again he walked away.
This encounter, that had stopped her
in full open field, had not been the fatal
thing she had feared. 1t had been a
peril met that nerved her to a higher
courage. Now she could walk CALAMITY
to the most uncertain moment of her
life. Between the glimmering willows
down the long still avenue she passed,
her flowing draperies borne backwards
as by triumphant airs. The wine of
her approach seemed to reach the two
still far in front of her.
They turned and watched her draw
ing nearer, and before she had quite
reached them Kerr stretched out his
hand as if to help her over a last
rough place, and drew her toward him
n held her beside him with his fin
fiers lightly clasped around her wrist.
She saw that he looked pale, worn, as
he had not been last night, and, what
struck her most strangely, angry. The
hand that held hers shook with the
violent pulse that was beating in it.
He turned to Clara.
Twill you pardon us, Mrs. Britton?'
Then after another patient moment,
Miss Gilsey has something to say to

away, and at last Clara seemed to un-
derstand what was expected of her.
She flushed, and in the middle of
that color her eyes flashed double steel.
For the first time in Flora's memory
she was at a loss. She passed them
without a word.
Kerr looked after the little brilliant
figure, moving daintily away through
sun and shadow, with deep disgust in
mis- face. But when he turned to Flora
disgust lifted to high severity. 1t was
she who appeared the guilty one, and

r EFT alone, Flora glanced rapidly
around her. Now for a sally, now
for a dash straight for Kerr. The
shortest way was what she wanted.
Opening doors lately had led to toe
many surprises. She pushed aside the
long curtains and stepped out through
the French window upon the veranda,
Rapidly her eyes swept the garden. Far
down between the gray, slim branches
of willows at last she made out The
futter Of a skirt. She sighed relief tc
think Mrs. Herrick still at her post,
and began to hurry down the broad I'M
shaded drive. Her steps sounded loud
on the gravel, and presently to her
excited ears they sounded double. Then
she realized the truth. Some one
else was walking behind her. She
thought by not looking over her
shoulder she could avoid stopping; but
in a monent Harry's voice hailed her.
1t was still far enough behind for her
to hope she could ignore it. She swept
on as If she had not heard. Once around
the turn OF the drive, she would be in
sight of succor. She could trust to
Nrs. Herrick to manage Harry. She
made a little rush around the loop and
looked down the long vista of the will
