But his "littleness' in comparison
to the politically and financially pow
erful Tur1ock had been bounded into
her ears. Always his littleness-a
mere child beside Turlock-Turlock's
forces were all in all.
But nOw-had armiracle happened +?
For the all-powerful Turlocks face,
distorted with rage, began also to
show Weakness; gasps came from his
chest, and presently, even to her unin-

Writhed, twisted, seemed to stoop. and
then the mass of Turlock's huge bulk
rose like magic to the younger mans
supple, splendid shoulders and was
pitched bodily over them ignominous-
~ to the earth, like despised sack

heels and stood there, gazing down on
his defeated foe and, in Otterburn, the
glory OF mans personal, fearless
bodily power made the king
shrink into mere coupon-girt mass.
For moment Turlock lay there;
then, mad with rage, but tanned by
fear, raised himself to an elbow.

then his eyes met Viola's. "Damna.

shaken to rise, You here"
Viola laughed, a strange, wild little
laugh; then, as Otterburn turned
swiftly, in the uttermost establishment
at her presence, she suddenly raised
her left hand and something, drawn
from her third finger, fell, cleaning
vainly, to the earth. She held out her
bare hand to Otterburn.

Could he not tear down law and even

the next second, slipping out of his

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

No truth is understood until 1t is
obeyed.
Big plans do not balance small per-
'formances.
1t is always safe to go where you
can help another.
No life lightens the world without
consuming itself.
Obedience is the first step in train
ing for authority.
If wishes were wings good works
would soon cease.
Folks who have most advice to spare
often need it most.
No man is well occupied who Is too
busy to sympathize.
Virtue never needs to demonstrate
itself by vociferation.
The soul is truly lost that gathers
darkness Of the light.
Little deeds are often like little win
dows into large room.
Love Is always a poor thing so long
as it tries to save itself.
No man ever saw his Father by
climbing over his brother.
Your rank amongst men depends on
how you help them to rise.
A man never has any more religion
than his children can find out.
No man can make life joyous who
does not himself enjoy life.
Heaven always gets your picture
Just when you are not posing.
You never make mistake in giving
where you give part of your self.
There is nothing more divine in
this world than simple humanity.
The faint hearted are those who
think only of feeding themselves.
Luck may knock at the door, but
1t takes hard work to force 1t open.
There is sorrow without selflshness,
but never selfshness without sorrow.

to men.

A great many housewives always
mix their pie crust day before they
want to use 1T and put it in the ice

To keep children's curls free from

These are attractive if made from
pretty material with large bow on

A sure way to remove grease
