that way at Baldpate--the last weeks
of summer. It's part of the game"
They had come to the side of the
hotel on which was the annex, and
the girl stopped and pointed. "Look!s
she whispered, breathlessly.
In a window of the annex had ap-
peared for moment u pickering

II know" said Mr.. Magee. There's
somebody in there. But that isn't i'm

thermometer for proof. / love you.
And when you go away, l shall fol-

And the book"

They walked along for a time in
silence.

"Goodby," said the girl. She stood
In the window of her room, while a
harsh voice called 'rhat you, dearie p"
from inside. And / may add" she
smiled, that in my professionals fol-
lowing is considered qu'te-desirable >"
She disappeared. and Mr.. Magee,
after a few minutes in his room,
descended again to the office. In the
centre Of the room, El jah Quimby and
Hayden stood face to face.
What is 1t, Quimby?' asked MaFee
i just ran up to see how things

II was just reminding Mr.. Hayden, :"
Quimby said, his teeth set, an angry
light in his eyes, that the last time
We met he ordered me from his office

urban Railway once promised to make
use of my invention. Then Mr. Ken
drick went away--and this man took

offices again--he laughed at me- When

He paused and faced Hayden again
I've grown bitter, here on the
mountain" he said, las I've thought
over what you and men like you sa d

I've gone over In my m nd that scene

crowd that made a fool of me.
You've come To mean to me all the

"Try It," sneered Hayden

Cleaning Cut Glass

My Dear Miss Doom
Can you give me some pointers
about the care of cut glass? ] re-
ceived many pieces as wedding
presents and want to keep them
brilliant Thanking you in ad-
vance, BRIDE.
Cut glass should be scrubbed
with a soft brush, using suds to
which a little ammonia has been
added Dry for half an hour in a
box of sawdust free from resin;
the sawdust should then be spread
out to dry. 1t may be used many
times. 1t is good plan to dust
cut glass frequently with a soft
brush. This prevents dust from
settling in the cuts.

Rock Me to Sleep
My Dear Miss Doom:

WIN you please grant me Il fa-
NorY am very anxious to obtain
the words OF Backward, Turn
backward. 0 Time in your Flight"
Can you let me have them?
SHUT-IN.
Am delighted to have an opportu-
nifty to help you. Shut-in. The poem
IS by Elizabeth Akers Allen. IT
follows:
ROCK ME TO SLEEP.
Backward, turn backward, o Time
In your light;
MAKE me child again just for to-
night!
Mother, come back from the echo
less shore;
rake me again to your heart as of
yore;
Kiss from my forehead the fur
rows of care.
Smooth the few silver threads ont
of my hair:
over my slumbers your loving
watch keep
Rock me to sleep, mother: rock me
to sleepl
Backward, turn backward. O tide
of the yearsl
| am SO weary of toll and of tears
Toll without recompense, tears all
in vain
Take them and give me my child
hood againi
] have grown weary of dust and
decay
Weary of flinging my soul-wealth
Weary of sowing for others to
reap
Rock me to sleep, mother; rock me
to sleep!
''Tired of the hollow, the base, the
untrue
Mother, o mother, my heart calls
for you!
Many summer the grass has
grown green,
Blossom'd and faded, our faces be-
tween,
Yet, with a strong yearning and
passionate pain,
Long | tonight for your presence
again
Come from the silence so long and
SO deep
Rock me to sleep, mother; rock me
to sleep!
"over my heart in the days that
are flown
No love like nlother-love ever has
ehone;
No other Worship abides and en-
dures-
Faithful unselfish and patient like
yours;
None like a mother can charm away
pain
From tire sick soul and the world
weary brain.
Slumber's soft calms DER my heavy
lids creep
Rock me to sleep, mother; rock me
to sleep!
Come, let your brown hair, just
lighted with gold,
Fall on your shoulders again us
of old;
Let it drop over my forehead to-
night,
Shading my faint eyes away from
the light;
For with it's sunny-edged shadows
once more
Happy will throng the sweet visions
OF yore.
Lovingly, softly its bright b!llows
sweep
Rock me to sleep, mother; rock me
to sleep!
Mother, dear mother, the years
have been long
Since last / llsten'd your lullaby
song.
Sing, then, and unto my soul it
shall seem
Womanhood's years have been only
a dream.
Claspd to your heart in a loving
embrace,
With your light lashes just sweep
ing my face,
Never hereafter to wake or to
weep
Rock me to sleep, mother; rock me
to sleepl"

Whistling for Health

A doctor has discovered that whist
ling is good for the health. 1t fills the
lungs with inyigorating oxygen, and
this reyivifles tagging spirits and
fiabby muscles.
Boys are prone to be broader chested
than girls and better constructed for
deep muscular Cones because of the
lung exercise which accompanies
whistling, and one of the first things
they try to 90 when they've passed
babyhood is TO whistle.

white plumes at home, but do not
know just how to go about the work
This is a good way: Make suds OF

or three hours. Then put 1t into hot
water and allow to remain about
twenty minutes. Now lay it on a.
clean cloth and remove any dirt
which may remain with a piece of
soft cloth or silk dipped in soapsuds
Rinse in five changes of hot
water; lay on towel and touch light
ly with a piece of cloth rolled up to
restore the curl. When almost dry
shake until fluffy. place in tissue
paper and then place in the warming
oven of the stove to dry. To curl

Will you kindly advise me how TO
remove stains from a brown cordu-

water being spilled, and also ice
cream If the spots cannot be en-
tirely removed, would like to
freshen up the corduroy in some
way
Thanking you in advance for
your kindness, | am
MRS. WILLIAM q.
To extract grease stains dee
cream leaves grease spots), pour
turpentiue over the spot and rub
quite dry with clean flannel. IL any
grease remains, repeat the appli~
cation, then brush well and hang
the cushion in the open air to re-
move the odor. TO renovate, hold
the back over steam, and the nap
will gradually rise, but should be
aided by a soft brush. Or wet a
flannel with ehloroform and rub
the spots quickly. Renovate the
entire cushion by sponging with
ammonia water, changing the cloth
as often as IL becomes soiled.
