Lots OF people in the world are
agreeing with you on that line, Miss
Selma Lue." answered Miss Cynthia
as she laughed up into the kind eyes
above her.

pie think alike from Tennessee to

on their mates III matter Of si7 The
rest Of the congregation had suffered
with more or less poignancy And an
aroma of mingled tears and camphor
rose from the steps
why whyl = gasped Miss Cynthia,
was there aa cyclone?"
"Oh, no. answered Miss Selma Lue
cheerfully Just little yellow-jack-
cts nest that made mistake to get
mad at the children They have most
forgot all about it, fer we was Jest
about to make a whole water bucket
full of lemonade. Nice day, amt it,
fer drinking SIGH as lemonade?' Miss
Selma Lue bestowed a significant
glance on Miss Cynthia. as she spoke,
which was very enlightening as to
her rational method of treating the
hornet cyclone. Miss Cynthia hastened
to lend the weight of her mental in
fiuence to that Of her friend. for she
saw that her CONSERVATION had started

YES, indeed it Isl she affirmed en-
Enthusiastically. Il feel as if could

body must draw the water for it right
from the well"
Eyes, Bonnie can do that while
you and Ethel Maud and Luellas roll
the lemons. There are the glasses to
hunt up, and everybody must git ready
to help squeeze"
I And for at least a half-hour the
front OF the grocery teemed with
cheerful activity. If sharp little pains
occasionally obtruded themselves, they
found no encouragement from the
busy drink-mixers, who squeezed and
stirred and stopped and drank to their
hearts content. After they had them
selves consumed the third connection
from the yellow rinds, they conceived
the idea of adding sugar and water
still again and carrying the bucket
down for the refreshment Of Mr..
Leeks, who was dear friend, to be
remembered at what they considered
an early stage of the lemonade game.
Lands alive!" said Miss Selma Lue
as she sank on the top step and
watched the last scampering pair Of
bare feet and futtering rags disap-
pear down the hill, that's almost the
worst ruckus we ever had on the
Bluff! was afraid they would all
cry themselves sick before could git

YES" answered Miss Cynthia as
she seated herself beside Miss Selma
Lue, exhausted and painting with the
efforts she had made In their behalf,
lit was pretty bad, and I was out OF
the direct path of the hurricane. How
did you weather the full force?"
We'll, you know" answered Miss
Selma Lue, I've got EN- trained some.
