What Wide Awek.s Can Do.

WndI NVIQ6 fNWGNSS Sdi SoE
 Dear Uncle Jed: I was just sitting thinking over the very pretty present received last Christmas from a friend, and thought maybe some little Wide Awake would like to know what 1t is.
 It was a piece of white lawn cut to square and hemstitched around the edge. I am almost sure the Wide Awakes can do this, and also that 1t would make a very pretty present for your little city cousin, who would be very glad to have half dozen of home made handkerchiefs.
 also read a very nice piece about how to make little work basket, and I am going to try to make one for my mother, too.
 I think that Amelia Landry is a smart little girl. She has written many nice stories to the Wide Awake Circle

UNCLE JED'S TALK WITH WIDE
 AWAKES.

throw two stories into the waste bas- ket because they both had the same title and were copied from some story book. This is not the way to win a book. for it is dishonest and may sometimes rob the deserving of the book they should have. It hurts-and hurts just as dishonest acts always do those who practice them most. No one ever gets very far in this world by deception or trickery.
 One mother forbade a child writing for the Circle because she thought the gift of books prompted it to get them in this tricky way: but it may be the best thing which could happen to child to have it's tendency to dis honest acts brought to light, for it is then that 1t may be easiest corrected and be impressed with the good prin- ciples which make life pleasant be- cause they never cause a pang.
 These two little girls were imbued with the common desire to get some thing for nothing-the weakest point in human nature, and the one which makes grown people easy victims of trickery and fraud. Uncle Jed feels sure they both could win books by honest work, as could all who have heretofore won books in this way.
 You should notice that Uncle Jed is awarding books to what he recognizes to be honest work. He would hardly dare tell all that happens in the Wide Awake Circle of a deceptive and dis creditable nature. To tell untruthful stories about ones self in the hope of winning is a bad practice.
 Let's all be honest and work hard to win. Little incidents in life make stories that are winners.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Empty Berth.

The one thing Mallory was begin,
ming to learn about Marjorie was that
she would never take the point OF
view he expected, and never proceed
along the lines of his logic.
She had grown furious at him for
what he could not help. She had told
him that she would marry him out OF
spite. She had commanded him to
pursue and apprehend the flying par
son. He failed and returned crest
fallen and wondering what new form
her rage would take.
And, 10 and behold, when she saw
him so downcast and helpless, she
rushed to him with caresses, cuddled
his broad shoulders against her
breast, and smothered him. 1t was
the sincerity of his detection and the
complete helplessness he displayed
that won her woman's heart.
Mallory gazed at her with almost
more wonderment than delight This
was another fiashlight on her charac-
ter. Most courtships are conducted
under a rose-light in which wooer
and wooed wear their best clothes on
their best behavior; or in a starlit,
moonlit, or gaslit twilight where ro-
nance softens angles and wraps
everything in velvet shadow. Then
the two get married and begin to
live together in the cold, gray day
light OF realism, with undignitied
necessities and narrowing situations
at every step, and disillusion begins
its deadly work.
This young couple was UNDERGOING
all the inconvenience and temper-ex-
posures OF marriage without it's
blessed compensations They prom
ised to be well acquainted before they
were wed. II they still wanted each
other after this ordeal, they were pref
ty well assured that their marriage
would not be failure.
Mallory rejoiced to see that the
hurricane Of Marjorie's jealousy had
only whipped up the surface OF her
soul. The great depths we're still
calm and unmoved, and her love for
him was in and of the depths.
Soon after leaving Ogden. the train
entered upon the great bridge across
the Great Salt Lake. The other pas
sengers were staring at the enormous
engineering masterpiece and the con-
ductor was pointing out that, In or
der to save forty miles and the cross
Ing OF two mountain chains, the rail-
road had devoted four years OF labor
and millions of dollars to stretching a
thirty-mile bridge across this inland
ocean.
But Marjorie and Mallory never no
ticed 1t. They were absorbed in ex-
ploring each others souls, and they
had safely bridged the Great Salt
Lake which the first big bitter jeai.
ousy spreads across every matrimo.

justice.
The minister was in such fiutter
from losing his boyhood love, and
gaining so much money all at once
and from performing the marriage on

ticed them, and the spirit, IL not the
letter of the occasion, was there and

enough.
The ritual began with the pleasant
murmur of the preachers voice, and
the passengers crowded round in
solemn calm, which was suddenly vio-
lated by loud yelp of laughter from
Wedgewood, who omitted guffaw after
guffaw and bent double and opened
out again, like an agitated umbrella.

The Englishman shook like boy

Ashton closed his jaw by brute
force and watched over him through

The conductor answered with the

All aboard"
While the minister was tying the
last loose ends of the matrimonial
knot, Mallory and Marjorie were
struggling through the crowd to get
at him. Just as they We're near, they
were swept aside by the rush OF the
bride and groom, for the parsons Il
pronounce you man and wife," pro.
nounced as he backed toward the
door, was the signal for another we'd
ding riot.
Once more Ira and Anne were show
cred with rice. This time it was their
own. Ira darted out into the corridor,
haling his brand-new wife by the
wrist, and the wedding guests pur-
.sued them across the vestibule,
through the next car, and on, and on.
Nobody remained to notice what
happened to the parson. Having per-
formed his function, he was without
further interest or use. But to NAL
Tory and Marjorie he was vitality
necessary.
Mallory caught his hand as It turned
the knob of the door ands drew him
back. Marjorie, equally determined,
caught his other elbow:

shrieked, and with a sudden wriggle
writhed out of his coat, leaving It in
Marjorie's hands. He darted to the
door and flung it open, with Mallory
hot after him.
The train was kicking up a cloud
OF dust and getting its stride. The
kidnapped clergyman paused a mo-
ment, aghast at the speed with which
the ground was being paid out. Then
he climbed the brass rail and, with
a hasty prayer, dropped overheard.

his stars and his prayers to thank for
injuries to nothing worse than his
dignity and other small clothes.
