three crises in his youth extending from
twelve to twenty years The physical
change which is thrice manifested in the
lapse Of these years invariably witnesses
a mental transition equally as marked.
During this period it is paramount that
the idea of service and duty to the church
should be vigorously instilled in the
youthful mind.
The speaker directed special attention

The remarkable casualty list of 100
dead and l,l00 injured in the state Of
Massachusetts, in 1911 from automobiles
il enough to make both sides of the
automobile question pause and consider,
The state highway commission asserts
that many of the accidents were due
to the carelessness of pedestrians; which
Iis probably true. But it is likely that
by far the greater percentage of the
accidents was due to the carelessness of
the drivers of the machines. which is a
situation not to be treated lightly. If
the motorists themselves wish to keep
automobiling in decent repute, they must
look the situation squarely in the face
and the associations must take steps to
reduce the percentage of accidents Any
quantity of applications of the law for
careless driving will not serve as eff
GENTLY as whole-souled effort from the
inside of the automobile organizations.

a DRAIN ON FOREST AREA.

A lecturer in Barre last evening stated
that one OF the greatest dangers to the
forests Of the country is the Sunday
newspapers, because of the tremendous
amount OF pulp required for each edition
In view of that fact, the announcement
that one Boston newspaper has suspend
ed its Sunday edition viii be, in meas
IRE, satisfying. What would be more
satisfying would be the determination Of
all the papers to dispense with those So
called comic sections which are more
often combination of wasted forests
and colored ink. The public has really
become Disguised with the efforts and
would be pleased to go back to the
wholly news sections Of the Sunday pa.
pers, as published by some of the best
journals of the country. AT the same
time, they would be assured of vast
saving in the forest areas Of the United
States.

and mustache. the carefully waxed
ends Of which pointed upward More
over, his eyes were constantly meeting
hers and seemed to produce upon her
a marked impression. At first she at
tempted to turn hers away. but she
soon lost the power to do this In
deed. she seemed like a bird charmed
by the eyes of a serpent.
1t was not long before Hans noticed
that his betrothed was being fascinat.
ed by the stranger. But. being a mild
hammered man. more devoted to say
ing his prayers than to quarreling, he
held his peace. hoping that no great
harm was being done and on the NOR
row Herman would have journeyed on
and been forgotten. But Gretchen
seemed not only attracted by the
stranger. but to have been seized with
sudden aversion for her lover. When
Hans called her attention to mistake
she was making in her play she gave
him sharp answer. When he pro-
tested at some unfair advantage taken
Of him in the cards by Herman she
abused him, taking the latter's part.
1t soon came about that the game
was rather between Hans and Her
man for Gretchen than in the cards
Herman became bolder and bOlder in
his attentions to her, and she seemed
to have been bewitched by him. He
ridiculed Hans for his stupidity in the
play. and Gretchen supported him in
his structures. And all the while he
was darting. love glances at her which
she returned in kind.
During this time the others had be-
come so absorbed in the game the
stranger had introduced that they
knew nothing of what was going on
between him and Hans and Gretchen.
They were suddenly made aware that
something was wrong by Hans loudly
cursing the stranger and attempting
to thrust a dagger into his breast.
But Herman easily turned away the
blow by raising his arm, and all three
rose and stood. Hans glaring at Her
man and Gretchen glaring at Hans
Such was the tableau when the door
was opened and the priest entered.
Pausing, he gazed in a mild surprise
at the scene before him. Hermans
back was toward him, so that he could
not see his face. But Herman, MOTTO
ing that all eyes were turned toward
the door, looked around. His eyes fell
upon the rosary worn by the father
and the suspended cross. Instantly
the look Of injured innocence his face
had worn deserted him. A door near
him stood open. and. cringing. he
withdrew through it and out into the
night.
The moment he was gone Gretchen
fell fainting into Hans arms.
No one doubted that the stranger
was Satan in human form, come to
corrupt both Hans and Gretchen and
that he had been driven away by the
sight of the cross. The legend has
been handed down for centuries
among the descendants Of the pair.

and Gretchen that be realized that he
would wreck her happiness as well as
his own if he entered church where
celibacy is imposed on the clergy. and
he gave up what he really preferred.
Nevertheless he was considered to be
well nigh saint.
One evening Hans and Gretchen and
their relatives and friends were gath
cred at the Staebel home to celebrate
the betrOthal Of Hans and Gretchen.
In the midst Of the festivities knock
was heard at the door, and a young
man, strikingly handsome, was ad-
mitted, who said that he was a trav!
eler on his way to Munich and begged
to be permitted to pass the night in
the house. Hospitality Of this kind
was usual in those days. and the
young man, who gave his name as
Herman, was not only promised
nights lodging. but was invited to
take part in the festivities.
The stranger soon became the life
Of the party. Brilliant sayings fell
from his tongue that astonished and
delighted the company. He suggested
different methods Of amusement and
at last. pulling from his pockets cards
similar to the playing cards in vogue
today, offered to show those assembled
a game. All were pleased at learning
some novel amusement and assented
readily. Herman proposed first to
show three Of them how to play the
game, after which the rest might di-
vide into sets Of three, each three play
ing separately.
Those chosen to be taught the game
were Hans and Gretchen. The teacher
dealt the cards and showed them how
to play one hand and then another
and by this time they knew enough
about it to play it. Those looking on
then proceeded to arrange themselves
at tables, and presently the whole
company were deeply immersed in the
amusement introduced by the hand
some stranger.

to Gretchen. Every now and again
