came in the foolishness-l tormented
myself wondering if he had not
sensed how 1 loved him and had
come to me out Of pity? So l hung
back.
He was patient enough with me-
too patient for our good-until Allen
Waite began haunting me, and say
ing everywhere / was the beauty of
the country.
1t was truth, though all along until
I was full grown I'd been called
almost ugly, tearing tomboy, all
frowsy and freckled, who cared no
more for frocks than to have them
whole and clean, and had rather play
hop-scotch and ride races bareback
on the colts than sit and sew patch
work, or make puddings, or darn
stockings.
Aunt Jane had changed all that
she was my mothers sister, and let
me see she cared to have me look
the lady. My stepmother had not
cared-nobody had until Aunt Jane
came. She made me pretty dresses,
and brushed my hair till it was like
spun gold, and took off my freckles
with buttermilk, and kept me in
gloves till my hands were baby soft.
She was to blame for the boys both
loving me. But they never held it
against her-and certainly I don't.
It's right down pitiful to think of a
girl growing up and never knowing
what it is to play the great game
Love is the great game. / had my
fill Of it that summer twenty years
back.
In the early June the elders all
lowered, the richest, heaviest bloom
ever saw on them. And there were
such clumps of them all up and
down our lane, with wild roses in
between and wild buckwheat climbing
and tangling everywhere. / loved
to walk there. stopping whites to
bury my face in the elder bloom. |
never liked to pick the clusters-it
seemed a sort of sacrilege The
moon fulled as they were in prime.

Rememberjno Each Other.

He sat on the sand at Atlantic City
in bathing suit. About ten feet
away she was drawing pictures in the
sand with a small brown forefinger.
He noticed her complexion, her curves
and the CLINT of gold in her hair. He
wanted to speak, and yet. Finally
he summoned courage and walked
over to her.
Didn't l talk with you for about
five minutes two summers ago." he
asked.
1.-TWO years ago." she said dreamily.
Two years ago-let me see-did

WANTS NO MoDERNIzED BIBLE
King James Version the Best of All,
Says Writer la Success
Magazine.


We are just~ol d-fashioned enough to
take no stock in the modernized Bible
which is shortly to appear, "couched
in everyday language, with obsolete
words and phrases eliminated" The
King James Bible has done more to
preserve the good old Saxon words and
style, which are the best English lit
erature has produced, than anything
else. Instead of movement to get
us further away from that vigorous,
simple, classic style. and in the inter
est of establishing the finest literary
ideals possible to people destined to
use the curious hybrid which the Eng
lish language has become, it would be
more sensible to frown upon all efforts
to improve on the King James Bible.
It is the greatest treasure house, in
spiration and teacher of good English
that we possess.-Success Magazine.

Denmark's Ancient FLAG.

Copenhagen.-The flag of Denmark,
plain red banner bearing on it. a
white cross, is the Oldest flag now in
existence. For 300 years both Nor
way and Sweden were united with
Denmark under this flag.
In the year 1919 King Waldemar of
Denmark, when leading his troops to
battle against the Livonians, saw or
thought he saw bright light in the
form of a cross in the sky. He held
this appearance to be promise of
divine aid and pressed forward to vic.

cross placed on the flag Of his coun-
