money. which he had exhibited while
buying the drinks, was in an inside

make you understand and forgive. Please be good
dear Ned and love YOUR LITTLE JUNE
Here's the mani" shouted Ned, his voice full of
sudden fury. He held pair Of gloves in one hand
and card in the other. These are Junes gloves.
They were lying the table, and this card was in

at her There mistaking those dainty, blue

Bobbie lounged forward. "That'n do, Ned" he

"Junie" They heard Iris throwing doors open

"Oh, Mr.. Thomas Rot" exploded BObbie.
That attitude is the bottom of the whole thing,
Bobbie" argued June with spirit Because the

made himself the master. That destroys the wom-
ans self respect and love dies"
She's fine kid" said Bobbie heartily, but if
she's going to draw the line money which has
been handed from man to a woman she'll have
to get it fresh from the mint"
What will you do, June?" fretted Iris.
IF l only had that purse mummy gave me-"
mused June.
"She got that from your father" Bobbie was un-
kind enough to remind her.
"Oh, that was daddy's money" she brightly re-

Within five minutes Iris and BObbie, in the swift

While they rode the black Vandyked man. in Sher-

host with gray mustache and ponderous man

There were a dozen placed at the table, and wine

which included a half dozen vivacious and gayly
gowned young women, dancing The three

and the black Vandyked man was the most silent
Finally he began to talk and grew enthusiastic. and
presently he drew forth June's little gold watch.
Then he flashed open the lid. All three men bent
eagerly over it. They gazed upon the lovely fea-
lures of the way bride, their faces bent close
together They clapped the black Vandyked man
on the shoulder.
1t was during this time that June Warner sitting

June was still June-and his June! He caught up
the portrait and pressed it to his lips and held it in
his arms and sank down by the bed sobbing.
At that moment June and Iris were sitting in the
big walnut paneled library, and Bobbie wandered
in. When he the girls he started back.

James r. Garfield Of Cleveland, son
OF the late President Garfield, told one
of the editors of the American haga-
zine the following story about travel

who was campaigning. One night ait.
er a speech in Michigan young Garne'd
said to his father: why do you re-

About the State.

The forestry department Of the exten-
sion service of the University Of Maine is
making arrangements to carry on DEM
oustration work in farm and woodlOt I'M
provement, thus adding another service
to the many benefits of the university
now at the disposal of the farmers of the
State. 1t is planned to inaugurate this
service this summer and the department
is desirous of securing, to start with, elk
farm woodlots upon which the demon
stration work may be carried on. Later
It is planned to increase the number.
Maine is to have another distinguished
summer resident, the announcement
having been made that Secretary OF the
Treasury VIM. G. McAdoo had bought
the cottage at Fox Island thorougbfare
owned by E. G. Damaron of st. Louis.
1t 10 expected that Pres. Wilson will be
entertained there in the course Of the
season. Secretary McAdoo last year
leased cottage at Camden. His new
summer home is on the Vinslhaven side
of the thoroughfare, opposite North
Haven village and Is q handsome loca-
tion.
The Kennebec Journal says: II is said
that one of Augusta's citizens was very
much disgusted few days ago when he
went into the shed for pail of cement
that he had bought for the purpose Of
"pointing" the cellar wall, to find that q
man whom he had sent up to the house
to plant the garden had mistaken the
cement for phosphate and had put little
into each bill of beans that he had
planted and had also planted some corn
and peas in the same way. 1t would
seem that the only reasonable excuse
that could be offered for the mistake
was that the man who did the planting
must have had q cold in his head.

Bungalow Notions.
This IL the day OF the small house and
though proper bungalow has only one
story, many story and half houses are
now termed bungalows. Any Ideas thas
make for economy OF space or steps are
hailed with favor among lovers Of small
houses. Here are some ideas for econo-
my of space and steps about the hre-
place and chimney. At each side OF the
chimney above the fireplace, where the
masonry tapers, there is always space
This space may be used for little cup
boards, or bookcases, one on either eide
above the mantle. These cupboards
may be provided with glass doors or
curtains. Again, IL the staircase 10 on
one side Of the chimney, as 1t 10 in many
bungalows, this space may be used for .
little closet on the stairs. II the stair
way be paneled, one panel may be push
ed aside and Q little secret closet De

hiding away of vsluables. II the fire.
place be in corner of the room, cup
board may be built into the chimney re.
cess in the wall OF the next room. II
the next room be the dining room, ~ 10
likely, this recess makes an attractive
place for the lover of china to display
her favorite pieces to advantage.
In one bungalow the livipg-room runs
around the corner, making two surfaces
OF the chimney come within the room.
A closet is built into the wall at the
side. around the corner of the chimney
from the fireplace, and at the bottom OF
this closet is a secret pocket IN the ma
sonry for hiding away valuables.
II q settle be built beside the fireplace,
it is perfectly possible to use the space
under the seat for woodbox. Gy hav
ing little trap door in the floor or back OF
the wood box, the wood may be put into
the box from the cellar, thus saving
bringing the wood through the house
every time the fire needs replenishing.
II the fireplace Is in an ingle nook and
has two settles, one may be used Tor
woodbox and one for golf clubs, tennis
rackets and balls; or If sports are not
favored in your particular bungalow. the
corn pepper and corn, and q long-handieo
fork for toasting bread and marsh
mallows may be kept in the settle box
The toast fork aud corn pepper handles
may be made to belong to the ingle nook
BY having handles of apple wood, polish
ed and carved, or burnt with the name
of the bungalow. Many old New
England farms have quantities OF apple
trees 20 decrepit as to be good for
naugbt but fire-wood.
Often the stairs in q bungalow rise
from the living. room and near the outer
door, with one or two steps to the firs'
landing. Under this landing is space
that can be used for rubbers by hingine
one OF the treads.

What q Revival 10.

The word revival Is often given q
meaning which primarily does not be-
long to It Many emphasize the con-
version Of sinners as the essential ele,
ment In revival work. but that Is the
secondary meaning Of the word. Es-
sentially revival" means the quicken
ing Of Gods people. You cannot re.
vive q dead man. The unregenerate
sinner Is spiritually dead. He must be
born again. Now. you may revive 8
partially drowned body or partially
frozen body. The regenerate sours
life often weakens and wanes unit

there be the least spark Of life left II
can be famed into flame, and. like

smithy's forge. that spark will touch
others and kindle q fame that will en-

Freaks Of Language.

A peculiar kind Of blundering known
as folk etymology" is responsible FOL
some Of the queerest freaks OF Ian
guage. An easy example will make
this clear. Our American word "car
ryall' for a kind Of vehicle Is not @
compound Of carry" and "all," but O
slight distortion Of the French 'carri
ole," a diminutive car. The change
was made In obedience to the univer
sal tendency to assimilate the unknown
to the known, to make words NEAR
something by associating them with
others which they resemble In sound
Often there Is no chronological relation
between the words associated. as wher
sparrowgrass Is made out Of asparagus
This particular corruption was once II
such good colloquial use that Walker
the photographer. wrote. sparrow
grass is so general that asparagus ha'
an air of stiffness and pedantry."

Devil Ships and Fire Ships.

Two warlike contrivances Of ancient
days were devil ships and fire ships
A devil ship is a ship that has beer
filed with explosives. which discharge
either by means Of a fuse, or clock
work, or when the ship hits another
ship or obstacle. They were employ
ed as long ago as 1885 by the Dutch
when the Prince Of Parma besieget
Antwerp. In those days they were
sent down the river to explode against
a wooden bridge built by the defenders
Of Belgium's most important city. The
6re ships were usually filed with dry
wood smotbered In pitch, oil and Other
inflnmmable material, and when fired
were sent drifting against any defense
