room window. It was noon when they
returned. Mrs. Riley, hot and tired,
was serving the midday meal. The
slatternly maid, who helped her out,
had gone home sick. and she found it
hard to take care of every one quick

enough to feel at home, and waited
as much as possible on themselves. It
happened that Annette, wanting an

Albert's glance %reproached Annette

Manifestly she was giving him no en-

they went down the corridor. 10
Riley's voice sounded in the kitchen.
Annette's eye frightened. Albert
suppressed a frown.

an incredulous expression.

Annette swung lazily in the ham,

Albert Hawkins. who, Immaculate and
trim In blue serge O and white fan

her and tried not to squirm under the
level, hard gaze that he knew quite

Back in the city Annette had liked
Albert pretty we'll. His theatre tickets

she was in love with Albert. Now she
looked at his thin, slight form II
somewhat sallow face, compared it
with the young overalled gaint who
was whistling to the dogs in the next
field and frowned at her want Of
judgment.
Albert Hawkins was head buyer in
the linen department Of the same
store in which Annette was telephone
operator. With three or four cowork-
ers they were spending their vacation
at a big farmhouse that Clara of the

Albert Hawkins looked at him with
reluctant admiration for his superb
physique. He himself had been a
stunted cash boy almost before most
boys leave a mothers lap. He felt
ashamed of the slight figure that in
door work had produced, and he
sighed when he looked at Annette.
Before the end of the next day An
nette no longer asked Albert to come
with her when she saw 10 in the
orchard. Instead she strolled off and
ignored him.
Albert Hawkins smoked cigars in
lonesome solitude, for all the others
were paired off and wanted no third
person along. While he smoked he

he could not deny the very obvious
good looks of young Riley. A tall.

Birds live to eat. It is lucky. for

The largest problem that faces
American civilization today is the
building up Of country life" declares
Walter H. Page, ambassador to Eng
land, in a bulletin on Education ir
the South" just issued by the United
States bureau of education. 1--WE have
just passed through a period Of or.
ganization Of the machinery of the
modern world, making the city and
the railroad, but the country has been

Speaking of the work of the Con

which the bureaus bulletin is chiefly
devoted. Mr.. Page said:

with the school and the child, and we

The progressives and republicans in
New York are having as hard a time
getting together as did the democrats
and populists some fifteen years ago.
There are differences, of course. The
progressive party is an offshoot from
the republican party. Most OF its
members were republicans before they
were progressives. and where the
work of fusion is going on it is mere
ly a reunion of forces that We're for
merly together. The populists, on the
other hand, were in most cases orig
inally republicans. They operated a
third party for a few years. and then,
while many of the individual mem
bers returned to the republican party
whence they came, whole state organ
izations effected mergers with the
democrats. as was done in this state.
Now, as then, the privilege of naming
candidates for Office is one of the inn
portant bases of amalgamation.
