"Flavia flieked her with her whip, as she would a dog"

II thank you" he answered. And then,
addressing Ulick Sullivan, IT need not
say that / had you communication"
he continued, with the news OF Sir
Miehaers death and OF the dispositions
made by his will. ! could not come

1t will be well if we leave matters OF
business on one side until we know
one another"
well, faith, I think we'd better"
Ullck Sullivan chuckled. Il do think
SO, bedad!"
The girl said nothing, and restraint
fell upon the three. They turned from
one another and looked across the
lake. which the wind, brisk at sea,
barely rufiied. Colonel Sullivan re-
marked that they had a little more
land under tillage than he remembered,
and Ulick assented. Again there was
silence, until the girl struck her habit
with her whip and said ~fippantly.
well, to dinner, IL we are to have
dinner" She turned and led the way
to the gate OF the forecourt.
The man who followed was clever
enough to read defiance In the pose of
her head and resentment In her
shoulders. When a beggar woman,
more importunate than he rest,
caught hold of her skirt, and Flavia
clicked her with her whip as she
would have fiicked a dog, he under
stood. !
There were dogs In the stone paved
hall; q hen, too, finding its food on
the feer and strutting here n there

table stood laid for the midday meal;

class, for whom open house was kept
at Morristown. So far, all was well;
yet 1t may be that on h instant eyes
which had been blind to defects were
opened by the presence of this stranger
from the outer world. Flavia's voice
was hard as she asked old Darby, the
butler, II The McMurrough, was In the
house.

Cedar for Pencils.

From the Washington Post.
Down in my state there Is q patch
Of territory about rs miles square, near
the town where the battle of Franklin
was fought during the civil war, which
is practically the only section in tha
United States where cedar Is grown for,
no other purpose than to furnish stock.
for the lead pencil industry" said
Thomas Green, of Nashville. I'm that
section cedar trees seem to spring
spontaneously from the soil, and the
peculiar thing about It Is that they
do not grow In any other section OF the
state to amour to anything. These
forests give employment to many wood
choppers and planning mill workers. who
prepare h cedar for shipment to lead
pencil factories in the Eastern states
and to Europe. An immense amount Of
the wood Is cut, planed. sawed and
shipped o Of the town OF Murfrees-
boro, Tenn, every year. There have
been many fortunes made In that Sec
ton out OF cedar. Cedar trees are cul-
tivated Is is any other crop. The
groves, conserved as they are now by
the wise owners, will last forever, and
will be furnishing the close grained,
fine hbred wood for pencils a century
from now"

Through childron's Eyes.

Here are some answers of British
school children which do much TO roll
away the old reproach that a sense of
humor Is lacking on that side Of the
Atlantic. "A vacuum Is a nothing shut
up in a box" IAN optimist is a man
who attends to your head; a pessimist
attends to your feet" "A fort is a
place for soldiers to live: a fortress
10 a place where they put their wives"
The great fire OF London did a great
deal of good, It purified the city from
the dregs OF the plague, and burnt
down SO churches" ."The marriage
custom of the ancient Greeks was, that
a man married only n wife. This Ia
called monotony."
