keep her schools open for seven and one

that mountain ridges so divide the pop
ulation of Garrett County, the largest
county in the State in area, as to render
school facilities for all of the children
more expensive than in more central
parts of the State; and
Whereas, 1t has been unanimously
recommended by the State Board of
Education that such sum of money
should be paid out of the State School
fund to the board of School Commission
ers of Garrett County; therefore,

he gave himself anew to the endless,

more than comfortable beds and a

the heavy labor of the mills was not
for him.

standards of beauty, he carelesSly de-
cided that she had none of it.
What hopes Roman may have cher
1shed from the presence of a young
American in his home were not at
once realized
Even when Mark had regained much
of his strength, the fear of physical
collapse always hung over him. There
was no night or morning when he did
not return ready, after bathing and
eating, to seek his bed. Even with
all the rest he could get his former
bodily freshness and eagerness never
returned
He did not mean to be selfish.
Sometimes at the end of a meal he
caught Romans wistful glance and
felt uncomfortably that he was fail

And always there fioated before him a
picture SO sweetly pathetic as almost
to invoke tears: Unity, the faithful
Penelope. trustingly awaiting her ad-

Thus the life fashioned him 1t was
no longer self-denial that he might
earn qualification at another time, but
self-control lest he go down in the
