clearly established;

By TEMPLE BAILEY

1t is not often that a woman
builds house with her own hands
and then lives in it alone for five
years, filling the soil and getting
out Of it living for herself and q
child.
There we're people in the nearby
town who criticized Gloria. "Why
doesn't she take her little brother
and work in some kitchen? Tha!
would be woman's work"
When Gabriel Marks heard that
taunt, he turned to the man who
had made it and demanded, "Can
you imagine Gloria Strong as a
slave of the whims and caprices of
another woman-your wife, for cx-
ample?"
Il don't scc," Seth Bowlcs retort-
ed, 'sthat my wife has any more
whims than the rest Of them"
no" Gabriel admitted, "but the
women of our town weren't brought
up to keep servants, and they don't
know how TO treat them. And I
can't imagine Gloria Strong taking
orders from anyone"
"Not even from husband 2" Seth
sneered. "If Gloria Strong should
marry you, what then? You'd be
the master Of any woman"
Gabriel felt that he would like to
strike that sheer from Seth's face.
But he knew the futility of such q
feeling. What could such a man
know of the timidity Which the
most mastcrful man feels when in
the presence of the woman he loves !?
1t was this very timidi'y which
had at first kept Gabrie! from con-
Tossing his love to Gloria. He had
titled the soil Of the ad Joining farm,

ACTIVE WOMAN YOUNG.

The longest-livcd men are those
engaged in healthy outdoor occupa-
tons, such as farming, simply be-
cause they lead an active, muscular
life in the open air.
Bodily activity keeps at bay the
diseases of sedentary middle life.
Gout and rheumatism lie in wait for
the man who does not walk five
miles in a week, who hates games
and believes that golf is a waste of
time"
II is the active, busy woman who
keeps her complexion when she is
past forty years of age, and girls
twenty years her junior grow sallow
and anaemic for lack of outdoor en-
ercise.
You must live sedentary life,
you say? l don't believe it. Even
if your day is spent in an office or a
shop, you have the early morning
for a ''tub'' and 20 minutes with
dumbbells. You have your evenings.
and YOU have your week-ends.

that no man would have haggled it

out and confess it. Now, the idea
that his father was overjoyed when
when he told little George that he
would rather have him cut down a
thousand cherry trees than tell d
lie is all nonsense. What did h,
really mean? Why, that he was
absolutely astonished that he had
a son who had chance to tell a

THE PRICE OF PEACE.

William E. Curtiss in a recent
letter dealing with the cost of mill
tarism to humanity, says:
Every one of the powers OF
Europe, and Japan, is on war
basis at combined annual cost of
more than a thousand million dol
lars year, of which about 70 per
cent is paid from the proceeds of
taxation. and an average OF 80 per
cent comes from the sale OF bonds
that must be paid by future gene
rations. The increase in the bond
indebtedness of the nations of the
world, particularly those of Ell
rope, is estimated by Edmund The
ry, French economist, at more
than billion dollars year. His
calculations show that the cost OF
peace" during the last twenty-five
years in Europe has been more
than 145, 900, 600, 900 francs, which
is nearly $50, 900, and has
deprived the world of the labor Of
10000 officers and $500, 900 men,
whose productive capacity, if con-
sidered worth only ST day, rep
resents $4,000 900 a day, or about
$500. 900, 900 each year for TWEEN
ty-fve years. which makes total
loss of $37, 5oo,ooo,o 900. Adding
to this the 100000, 900, 900 Of
national debts which have been in
