| after ALL, the one gr1 for him? One
morning he asked Norma for a walk
but she told him sweetly enough thai
she was going with Billy that day. No
she wouldn't go out on the lake in the
new song.
Behind them stood Stella, a queer look
on ner piquant. brown little face. Saunter-
ing on to the garden. she managed to run

ing and meek. She hadn't seen anything
OF him, he was so busy with his duties
OF host She would be glad when he wasn't
SO busy. She dimpled and sparkled, her
old self to him, but somehow he could
not rise to the old ready alteration of the
girl. Loyal himself he loved loyalty in
another. It was not that he couldn't for
give, but he saw a lack of quality in her.
She, to satisfy mere vanity, had hurt him,
hurt Norma-and perhaps Stanford. Billy
was grave. Cautiously enough, he led
her back to the house and started with
Norma for the links
On the veranda STAFFORD also was look
ing after them. Stella turned to him with
a queer little laugh
Quite case, don't you think, Jimmy?''
He froWned. Suddenly he didn't like her
to call him Jimmy" though he had beg
ged her to do so not very long before.
Neither did he like the light tone about
Norma. He made some excuse and sulked
away by himself with his pipe.
Out on the links Billy and Norma goIfed
and laughed. They had sought comfort
ana mad found 1t.
It was the evening that followed that
stella made discovery. Billy and Norma
had walked out on the moonlit beach and
sat together on the sand watching a stin
breeze send the waves tapping up at
the shoreline. Billy put his arm over Nor
mas shoulder with loving little move
ment.
A light laugh made them both start, but
instinctively Billy kept his arm where 1t
was. They looked up and saw Stella and
STAFFORD, the latter walking unwillingly
as though he wished he were elsewhere.
Stella laughed again.
What a charming little scene! L hope
we do not interrupt? Is it real-or just
improvised, Romeo?" She addressed Billy
and was answered by him.
Norma and are real people-we don't
improvise on theme nke-love. It's real.
Isn't 1t, Norman"
She nodded. Suddenly she knew that she
and Billy loved each other deeply and
sweetly, and that these other people and
their little jealousies and weaknesses
meant nothing to either of them. But
there was still enough feminine malice in
'And-yOu? Am L to wish you
STAFFORD broke in rather angrily: Don't
be absurd Stella doesn't enjoy that any
more than-I do, and you know it! Won't

knew Stella would expect no more of
him. What did she deserve? He told
himself that everything was her fault.
Hang girls, anyhow! He made for the
smoking room and his worst old pipe at
the first possible moment. He leaned back

much for STAFFORD at that time.-(Copy-

to spend SO much time in sleep as we
do. Perhaps, on account of popular
opinion and personal habit We waste
much time in this jelly-fsh condition
that could more probably be spent
in active pursuit of our ambitions.
The answer, of course, depends upon
the nature of our occupations. If
there be much muscular effort involv-
ed, with correspondingly large
amount of waste in the cells and
blood, eight hours or more are prob
ably necessary. But if our work is of
sedentary nature and mainly of the
brain, there is naturally a smaller
quantity of accumulated waste, and
less time required for removal Many
are the instances of great men, past
and present, who have lived healthily
and worked increasingly and strenu-
ously on only four or five hours of
sleep or half the laborer's portion.
Surely we are not to suppose that
these men were or are physically diff
ferent from others, but rather that by
inclination or necessity they have de-
veloped a habit of sleeping intensely
for short period, with resulting gain
of time and efficiency.

Answering the question of an ex-
change as to the whereabouts of the
old-fashioned boys who used to wear
undershirts made out of flour sacks,
They are all kept busy writing names
in the register for st. Peter of the ed
itors who are entering heaven and
coming into their own.
From the Highland View CORE
spondent of the Cove County Advo-
cate: The wind blew one hundred
and SiXty-Seven and a half hours last
week, there being one-half hour that
it did not blow. 1t seems that even
the weather man has spring fever and
does not put in full time.
The sanitary kiss is not exactly new,
says Mrs. Nye in the Newton Journal.
Years and years ago we read of a
man who always took a chew of the
Mayflower after his mother-in- law
had kissed him. A lemon to eat be-
tween kisses is now recommended; or
sterilized antiseptic gauze veil,
over my lady's face will perchance be
a life saver. The schools putting on
the advanced health study no doubt
will have demonstration by instruc-
tors.
1t is related by proprietor of a
city hotel that a man registered as
from one of the nice little towns in
not distant neighborhood. He
minutes would call at the counter
and. ask if there were any kilograms
for him. When being advised that
there was none he seemed still more
troubled. He retired to his room and
finally a telegram did come. When a
rap came at his door and the bell
boy handed him the telegram, he
threw up his hands and said, MY

Household hints in the Atchison
Globe for he-housekeepers: During
the heated term many husbands will
remain at home (so-called), while the
wife and kids seek more refreshing
regions. For such as those these
hints are labeled: The he-housekeep-
er should read the cook book before
preparing his meal. This will give
him a good appetite and he can then
go to the restaurant and eat with
great relish. With proper
pride in his palatial residence, he
should manage to sweep it out every
Sunday morning; at least the sitting
room and bedroom, which will need
it most. If the dust pan isn't avail
BILE, sweep everything under the bed.
1t is also a good idea to make the
bed occasionally, although the he
hates to tackle this and
we would not ask too much.
Before the family returns, it is we'll
to hire someone who knows how to
come in and restore order. Thus is
the he-housekeeper's reputation main
tanned at the proper standard.
