MAIDEN MUSINGS.
BY LILLIAN LAUFERTY


N ONT misiudge the man who
marries for money, no one else
on earth works quite so hard
for what he gets!
The modern straight and narrow
figure. clad in the modern thin and
fluffy waist, is not doing much to
boom the old-fashoned strait and
narrow path.
Holidays are greatly overestimated
Think Of all the energy it takes to
get back into harness again.
MY CREED-By CELIA THAxTER
For darkness passcs-storms shall not
abide,
a little patience and the fog is past;
After the sorrow Of the ebbing tide
The singing floods return in joy at
last.
The night is long and pain weighs
heavily.
But God viii hold his world above
despair;
Look 90 the east where up the lurid
sky
The morning climbs! The day shall
yet be fair.

in a corner and nearby were half
a dozen baseball bats. Guns and fish

corner Of the room. Close to a win

miniature grand piano.

iect of piano tuning He always want
ed the pianos tuned to concert pitch
and l wanted one tuned just a shade
lower, because it is hard to sing in
the key of r at concert pitch. To
end the argument he had this piano
sent down here and tuned it to
suit myself"
Can you tune a piano?" asked
Mildred.
Certainly; there's no trick to that.
And you sing, too?"
Just little for my own amuse-
ment"

the sale?" she added with a nt,le
smile.
IF sold it, Mildred, the whole
proceeds from the sale would be
yours"

Gordon, now in a jovial mood.
That's telling. Now, how much is
your property worth?"
"Oh, I don't know" replied Cor

"A couple Of milIions." exclaimed
Mildred, her eyes opening very Idle.
"A couple Of millions what?"
"A couple Of million dollars. Of
course; what else would I mean2"
Mildred gave a little gasp and it
was long time before she was
heard from again. Finally she broke
into a gay laugh.
"oh what a joke on Dad" she
cried.
How so?" asked Gordon. Joining
in the mirth, though he knew not
why.
IT'S too funny for anything" said
Mildred, unable to control her mer-
riment. Dad expected to buy it for
about $4,000"
He dido" said Gordon in surprise
Yes, and isn't it a good joke on
Dad, Gordon?"
Il don't quite get you, Mildred
What put IL in your head that your
father wanted to buy this property
up in the mountains?"
Its Up to You"
I'm a little traitor, Gordon, to tel
the Deery family secrets, but as
can now see there is no chance OF
Dad getting the property. I'll say
that he has some big water power

Strangely affected by what she had
seen and the song she had just heard,
and feeling safe and happy in the
possession of the young man at the
piano, Mildred moved around behind
him, put her arms around his neck
and placed her cheek against his.

murmured
