because it may be frozen like a lump
Of ice, but If placed in water in that
condition it soon thaws out and swims
around as vigorously as ever. The ma

make ice cream. The fish is caught,
frozen and placed in the cream. In
thawing out it freezes the cream, and
Its movements at the same time beat
the mixture, making it smooth
Taking them by and large. from

He worried through the busy days
Because his plans so often failed;
He sought success in many ways,
Distractions daily he assailed;
He longed for honor and for fame,
He strove TO win a lofty place;
His hair grew gray and wrinkles came
To write the story on his face.
He worked with all the might he had.
To prove his worth and win regard;
His shoulders dropped, his look grew sad,
The path he chose was steep and hard;
Deprived of sympathy and aid
He struggled on. defying Fate:
With talents that were small he made
A splendid struggle to be great.
His wife from day to day complained;
Her once fair face was ever sad:
Twas not that he so seldom gained
The ends that might have made him

Her tones were tinged with deep regret
And sorrow came with her TO dwell,

Gregory Barton opened the gate into

with snowy clam shells. and in the
brown earth beds there stood sentinel
rows of crocuses and tulips, for it was
spring.
He raped smartly and light. quick
step sounded across the floor The
door was flung wide open. and he look
ed into the surprised countenance OF
his neighbor Janet Norton.
Mothers gone down to the village"
said Janet as she pushed a chair to-
ward her early caller and knelt down
before the oven. She opened the door
and drew out a pan of crisp sugar
cookies. Wont you have a cooky?" she
asked, heaping them on TO a platter.
Gregory ate the cooky, pronouncing
1t the most delicious morsel he had
ever tasted. He watched Janet pass
ing to and fro, slim and graceful in her
neat house gown, sweet and capable
and most adorable.
AS for Janet, she was so accustomed
to seeing Gregory Barton, for he had
always been her next door neighbor
that she gave little heed to the fact
that he was exceedingly good looking
and we'll hammered and that his at
tentions were eagerly sought for by
the village girls. To Janet he was
merely a good natured young farmer
for whom she had always entertained
a slight contempt ever since ar unfor
