CHAPTER ".

TINE morning following Gordon
Craig's call Mary awoke with
pleasant sense of anticipation.
For moment she gazed about her
sunny room trying to think what agree
able thing was ahead of her. She re-
membered only too well the work she
had laid out for herself to accomplish
within the next few days, but that
was certainly not what gave her a SEN
sation Of joy.
Suddenly she recalled last evenings
experiences and the promise that she
made to 90 to the theater with Craig
when he should return from Boston.
She felt again the pressure Of his hand
as he bade her good night The world
| seemed a brighter place for the mem
Dry. She appreciated that here in this
busy city. the Texan was still so near
that she might summon him by tele-
phone. That seemed a pleasant fact,
/ too.
These thoughts occupied her mind
as she dressed. When she was putting
the last touches to her toilet, she met
her own gaze in her mirror and was

ing almost like fear. Here she was
on the verge Of making a fool Of herself
about a fellow whom she knew but
slightly, letting her thoughts dwell on
him as if he we're the only man in the
world!
still, he is an unusually nice chap"
! she acknowledged The admission
soothed somewhat her wounded dignity,
! for she felt that she had fallen beneath
! her usual standard of wisdom in blush
ing and looking happy over the pos
| sibility of spending another evening in
| this Westerner's company.
HE probably talks to all girls Just
as he talked TO me, and looks at them
all in that way, too" she unused. 'I
have heard that Westerners and South
I erners have a way of saying pretty
nothings that make fools of women and
! they forget as soon as they are spoken
| Well, here's one girl who is not going
| to be silly over any man until she
| knows that he loves her better than he
loves anything else on earth And I'm
going TO stop thinking of him"
with which laudable determination
she Joined her family at the breakfast
/ table
The best way to Danish a subject
from ones mind is to place another in
| its place. Mary recognized this fact
and applied herself to her work with
zeal and zest that precluded other
| considerations. Her mother remarked
! this with gentle protest on a morning
late in the week as Mary was starting
for school.
Dear child" she said, you are look

Ten Commandments for the
Travelling Girl
By Dorothy Dix
By Dorothy Dix

WHEN thou travel1est. oh. my
w daughter. put money in thy
purse and consideration for
other people In thy heart. for like
unto a pebble in the shoe or thorn
in the flesh Is the woman who Dor
roweth the price Of ticket to get
back home. and who thinketh that
ne owneth the Pullman Car Company
sad all that pertaIneth thereto.
2-Remember. beloved. that thou art
not the only pebble on the beach, and
that thy fellow travellers have the
same right to have their windows
down that thou hast to have thine up.
3-Ask not OF the station agent
more than 5Ss times at what hour
doth the six o'clock train leave, lest
peradventure being an impatient man
he hateth thee in consequence thereof.
Leave behind thee thy canary.
and thy cat and the wilted flowers.
and the stale fruit that smelIeth to
Heaven with which thy fool friends
and thy secret enemies load thee at
parting. for, verify 1 say unto thee.
that grateful public shall arise

yard around at the bottom edge,

lace counter she caught a glimpse OF

to the other girl.

ing spindling and needed the space for
exercise and air. Genevieve and Anna
were the Guernsey cows he had counted
ON for cream and butter But II was no
use. because they got so outrageously
lazy and aristocratic that they wouldn't
work
They just ate clover and switched
their tails and watched in bored sort
of way the hired man driving over
with the milk cans to the neighboring
farm, where were some everyday, sober
and Industrious cows that lived the lives
the Lord had ordained for cows.
"Theophinus couldn't have had any
more cream on his breakfast food than
he had had in town. lie could afford

and William waxed fat in laziness and

Mrs. Theophilus rarely allowed the
horses 10 be used, She said It was
too hot or too cold or that they looked
pale or had the hiccoughs and must

They're both perfectly beautiful,
the girl with the cerise feather told her.

He's been so busy this spring"
"Oh. just because he is a valuable
man he shouldn't let that old firm mo-

IN waste in the field, or if the price
for labor is forced w by competition

the secretary calls the earnest atten-

no reason why a large supply o.

season of so TO 80 days for one good

Is yer, large. but it may take several

Electricity and Plant Life.

The theory has been advanced and
backed up by experiments which are
at least interesting, that pointed
leaves standing up at the top of grow
ing plants attract electricity from the
atmosphere and that such electric
forces aid materially in the growth of
plants so equipped by nature. One in
yestigator, r. E. Dimick of Almena,
Wis, reports that vegetables which
were well cultivated have shown a
smaller growth than the normal when
they had pointed wires stuck up
among them TO act like lightning rods
in drawing off the electricity which
Mr.. Dimick believes to be attracted
by points and needful to plant life.
