CHAPTER II.
The "Talkinu Paper"

The Talking Paper"
DR.. Robert Wayne, herculean Of
stature, appeared in the doorway of
his bungalow and stood toying moodi-
ly with his Bible. In the outdoor
kitchen the Kafir cook and mess boys
were preparing breakfast-of fried
yams and coffee. Across the clearing,
at the Kafir village, not black was
stirring, though it was now a half
hour since sun-up-a fact which
seemed to trouble Doctor Wayne.
The doctor was joined now by his
man Friday-the man-of-all-work in
the missionary camp. This man, Hart,
had come all the way from California
with the Waynes, and for three years
had acted as their guide, philosopher,
friend and campmaster.
There's something troubling you,
DOCTOR" Hart now said. whats ailin'
you, sir?"
Come aside-away from the house
Hart. l don't want Mrs. Wayne to
hear what I've got to say. Hart, he
continued, when they were we'll away
from the house, ''Wambo is expecting
an attack from his old enemy, Amazu.
I'm sure of it. He has been expecting
the attack for several mornings past
at sunrise. At sun-up each morning
he and his men keep within their
huts, all armed Their object is thus
to mislead AmaZu's spies into believ-
ing that he, Wambo, can be taken by
surprise at sunrise. But, careful!
Here comes Mrs. Wayne. We must
not let her know"
Mrs Wayne came from the bunga-
low, looking searchingly about. And
now when she joined the two men, she
asked:
Where is Edith?"
Here she comes!" cried Wayne, as
Edith and Bantu bounded into view,
coming from the jungle.
"They bring news" said Hart. See!
Bantu calls excitedly into the hut
of Wambo, his father"
At the same time Chief Wambo ap-
preached. And as if his coming forth
conveyed the signal, the whole village
all the Kafirs of both sexes
emerged from their huts in hordes and
set about the work of the day.
Little Edith ran to her parents.
"Oh, papa-mamma Did you hear
what Bantu told his papa? He said:
One horse-and many men-coming
this way!'"
Hart looked his alarm. He whis-
pered to Doctor Wayne: 1T is Amazu
coming to the attack"
But Doctor Wayne, to Harris sur
prise, smiled. NO." he said. mot
with a horse. You forget, Hart, that
only the whites can afford a horse in
this country" He turned to Mrs.
Wayne. "Mollie," he said, "guess who
is coming. A horses hoofs have been
heard pounding along the trail-and
as horses are too expensive for the
blacks, it means that this particular
horse is ridden by a white man.
Guess who he is
Edith answered for her mother by
exclaiming: ct is Uncle Steve!"
yes, my brother Steve" Mrs.
WAYNE said. "But how strange! Why,
he's a week ahead of time. Didn't you
tell me only last night, Robert, that
Steve would not get back from the
river station with the mail for at least
a week to come? Why is he hurrying
back so soon? But come, papa!-come
Edith! - come Hart! - breakfast is
ready"
A little later a great hullabaloo
burst forth in the Kafir village, and
lone horse and many men," just as

"Oh, the Pity of IT."

Through the jungle and down into
the valley Bantu ran. At last, painting
from a race lasting an hour or more,
he sighted the wagon standing in a
clearing a little way off the trail. There
was smoke from a fire. They were
cooking the MONDAY meal.
Edith was the first to see the black
boy, and she shouted with delight:
"Bantu!"
The boys eyes searched the camp

the stealth of a panther, suddenly
paused in his tracks. He beheld
the child, yet he gave her little
heed. He noted with particular
ity, however, that all the cattle were
grazing unguarded in the clearing
just beyond the Kafir village. and
that now, at sunrise, all the Kafirs
who owned the cattle still slept within
their huts. For this warrior belonged
to a tribe hostile to Wambo, who
ruled the sleeping kraal. Moreover,
this warrior was engaged in a recon
nOissance for his own chief, Amazu,
TO whom he would presently return
and report that Wambo and his men
had become slothful and permitted
their cattle to remain unsentineled
after sun-up. For Chief Amazu COW
eted the cattle of the rich Wambo, and
wished to annex them as his own
property at an hour when there was
small chance of having to fight as well
as to steal.
The little, golden-haired girl glanced
back into the bungalow of her father,
assuring herself that all within still
slept. Her eyes then wandered to the
Kafir huts of Chief WambO and his
people. Not a sign of life among the
blacks. Seemingly the only human
being up with the sun" in all that
settlement was Edith Wayne, the mis-
sionary's daughter. She glided across

providing for them so long as they
shall live. So tomorrow, at sun-up,
we must leave here and take the river

To the missionary's speech Wambo
listened stoically till the doctor an
nounced that he would take the trail
through the jungles. 1t was then that

THE PROPER METHOD
OF WASHING SWEATERS

Did washing shrink your sweater
so that it was too narrow across the
chest?
Worse than that, were the sleeves
stretched to twice the length of a
natural arm?
These annoyances can be avoided
If you know how to wash the sweater
properly.
Prepare a good, warm suds with
soap powder, stirring it we'll until
the water becomes foamy. Then knead
the sweater through the water until
thoroughly clean. Do not rub on a
board nor between the hands and
do not rub soap on the garment, says
an exchange.
Rinse in a second soap water. Do
not rinse in clear water. The soap
powder in the rinse water will keep
the wool soft Now comes the i'm
portant part-the drying. If the
sweater is hung over a line the
weight of the wet sleeves will drag
them down. First pull the sweater
into perfect shape with the hands,
drawing it out over the chest and
widening the arms and seeing that
it does not hang in point any
where and that the front edges are
straight.
Then lay it carefully in the hot
tom of a pillowcase, folding the
sleeves over. Do not push it into
the case in a heap. Pin the pillow
case (open) on two lines that are
parallel and only a foot apart. The
air can then reach the sweater Hang
in the sun on breezy day. Wash
the sweater early in the morning so
1t can have all day in which to dry.
Do not wash it or a damp, still day.
A few drops of bluing in the last
water will keep baby's little white
sweater from turning yellow.

monition. Sometimes 1t has been
even more emphatic. I'VE cannot
possibly permit you to do it and we
will not give you the money"
Thus the young man or woman
with a question to decide has not
been forced to assume responsibility
He has been able to evade, to hide his
own indecision by saying, Dad

haps, "Of course, If it wasn't for
hurting Dads feelings" or IF 1 was
my own boss"
But now he cannot use Dad for an
excuse or a buffer. Dad will not be
there to be hurt by what he does.
He Is his own boss. He must take
the initiative, and accept the respon-
sibility. He must make his own de-
cisions and abide by the conse-
quences.

There can be no hiding now behind

one reason why Dad stood out for
the military or prep school. He
wanted his boy to learn to stand on

And so the boy faces n lot of prob

"Thankee, Master Davie. I'll tell

And now what shall we do?"

in the air and seating him on his

so. Il think we ought to try and

coaxingly.

She took Henry by the hand and
led the way, and soon they were all
seated comfortably in the roomy
two-seater.
Henry pulled out his old pipe and
filled and lighted it.

thoughtfully, Il couldn't even begin

The Montessori Plan

To scold child, even to call at
tention kindly to his daily errors, is
to make him lose faith in himself.
The child of from three to six and
even eight years is as sensitive as a
wild flower. We stab him daily with
our criticisms, not realizing how they
hurt him. DIR. Montessori's method is
to make q mental note of the child s
mistake, to completely ignore it at
the time it occurs, and to wait until
the memory of it has been effaced
from the child's mind, which is the
ripe moment for correcting it.
The child who tells us that seven
times nine equal forty-two should
not be told that he has misstated a
fact, says Carolyn Sherwin Bailey in
The Mothers Magazine. He wants
to know what seven times nine is,
we are sure, because every child Is
eager for knowledge. If we tell him
that he is wrong, we efface the num-
bers from his mind by the great con-
cept wrong. Why do we pursue this
roundabout method in teaching our
little ones?
We will ignore the error. In an
hour, or a day, or a week as seems
wise, we will suggest to the child that
he lay out seven piles of seeds or
pebbles, or sticks, nine in pile, and
count the total. 1t is a game, and
the little one attacks it gleefully. He
corrects his own mistake without
knowing that he was wrong. This
method leads to willed self-control
in children.
The child who is passionate, tenn
pestuous, self-conscious, irritable,
fidgety and restless. is not the
naughty child. Rather 1t is the child
who has not been helped to the
ability to act in an orderly and re-
strained way that comes from the
home training suggested by Monte
sorri

"Why?" demanded Dorothy.
"Cause his tooth aches, so you go
right away, Dorothy"
"How about me?' uncle Dick
wanted to know, winking at Henry
over the top of Davies head.
Davie began to laugh.
II can't tell you what to do, uncle
Dick, cause you're grown up" he
declared.
"And you can't tell me what to do,
either, cause I'm older than you,
Davie Dear. If Henry wants me to
go away he can say so himself, so

the handy man and demanded to
know if he wanted her to go.

Henry, politely, causing her to point
a jeering finger at Davie and cry
triumphantly, See, SMARTER"

"Ahem, ahem," interrupted Henry,

bad for you to tell one, and you took

Henry coughed again, and shook
, his head, while Davie looked at
him in frank wonderment.
Uncle Dick laughed long and
heartily.
Might as well let him tell it,
Henry. He'll let the cat out of the
bag, anyway"

very sheepish, 'but my tooth was

ended with a sigh of relief.

placed her hand on Henry's arm,

Henna Paste for the Hair

Dear Margery Doom
VIII you please tell me how to
make henna paste, to color the hair
red? My hair is an ugly dark
brown, and / want to improve its
looks, if l can. Thanking you,
BROWN HAIR,
I'll give you the formula, but
want to tell you that | am sure
dyeing your hair red will not i'm
prove it. 1t would be far more SEN
sible to brush your hair until it
gained a good gloss.
A woman who dyes her hair is
slave. The ends get lighter and
lighter and the roots need constant
doing over" And after while the
hair becomes a nondescript color,
which is anything but beautiful.
However, If you insist, here is the
way to use the henna paste: Make
a paste by combining two ounces OF
powdered henna, two drains of
acetic acid, two drains of white
honey and two drains of powdered
rhubarb with enough hot water to
make paste. Wash and dry the hair
thoroughly. Then plaster over the
paste, being quite sure 1t is evenly
done. Let dry for two hours and
then wash in clear warm water,
using teaspoonful of bicarbonate
of soda in the first water Rinse
