explained Ralph.
The butler did not seem TO hear
him. Ralph walked into the parlor
and sat down. His heart was beating
fast, and there was an undehnable
sense OF change. Ralph thought the
butler had seemed less courteous than
formerly. The furniture was covered,
the room had not been busted for
some time Ralph wondered-he was
conscious OF something which added
to the pain of the approaching inter
view. When 1t was all over he must

plunged into an abyss from which
there was no escape. He understood
the coldness of her greeting now. she
was prepared to release him. she
thought he would not want to marry
her when her father was bankrupt
And that was what made his plans
impossible. How could he ask her
to release him now? The face OF
Juanita shone upon the background OF
his spiritual vision.
MARY, It doesn't make any differ

She was staring at him. Amy dif-

Il mean-did you suppose that
would not want to marry you because
you are poor?"
She was still staring at him. She
rose and put her hands upon his shoul-
ders.
"Ralp, you-you have met another
girl you care for, haven't you?" she
asked frankly.

Ralph.
She was too proud to try to detain

crying, half jestingly, "The Miners

A pressure of the hand, and he was
gone toward the coach stables. After;
ward Juanita saw him riding away in
a cloud of dust She put her head
down on her arms and cried.
A year before Ralph had been sent
west with lung trouble. He had been
engaged to Mary Leeson; his father
and hers were partners in number
Of mining claims. Both men were
millionaires. 1t was natural thing
that Ralph, fresh from college, should
fall in love with Mary.
He had gone the pace, too, in his
last year. A cold, neglected, had
spread to his lungs; the upshot was
that he was given the alternative be-
tween death and New Mexico. He
had made the sensible choice. He
went with regret, because he was in
love with Mary, and he dreaded the
rivals who hocked about the wealthy
heiress.
Marry me and come with me-" he
had urged.
Mary declined. Cold-hearted, she
was not going to bury herself in New
Mexico with a man who might not
live out the year. But she promised
to be true to him.
And her letters, gay and full Of
stories Of the home life, had made him
incredibly homesick-until he met
Juanita.
Now, riding homeward, he knew
that Mary was only the pale shadow
of his love; that Juanita had his
heart and always would have it. He
was going home because as man OF
honor there was no other course. And
he was going home cured
He had not heard from his Gancee
for several weeks. And Ralph had
dared to hope what he had once feared
that she, too, had learned that her
heart lay in another's keeping.
A week later he stepped of the
platform of the Grand Central station
in New York. AS he rode in taxi
cab toward the home Of his fiancee
the solution of his problem came to
him at last Why should he make
two lives unhappy if--if Mary did moi
care for him He would be as frank
with her as she had always been
with him.
He descended at the door. When
he rang, the butler stared at him IN
amazement; the man remembered him
and had thought that he would never
return.

izing their preconceived ideas OF a
child Of nature, with her 1924 pounds
of solid muscle, her splendid vitality,
strength and exuberance of youth. Her
cheeks are like ruddy winter apples
and her eyes as bright as those Of the
squirrels in the park.
Health first of all'' is her mothers
nursery motto. Plenty Of fresh air
and an unlimited quantity of an excel
lent old,fashioned drink called Adams
ale," inside and out. Until Winifred
was two years old she had no meat to
eat Unlike most children, she dis
liked every form of breakfast food,
and her parents, believing what is not
pleasant to ones taste is not good for
one, never forced these dishes on her.
The stomach is very important fac
tor in creating happiness. whether
life is worth living or not depends up
on the liver" Mrs. Stoner reminded.
by keeping the children's stomachs
in good order and squeezing their
livers' through proper exercise, we can
save our offspring from becoming mis-
cradle dyspeptics who hate the world,
themselves included, and who, like La
Farge's Man With the Appetite would
gladly give all their wealth for the
pleasure of enjoying a meal through
another mans stomach"
Mrs. Stoner insists that all children
are good when they are fed properly.
One of the chief ways to ward off indi-
gestion is courtship of the god Cheer
while we eat. She doesn't pretend to
be a health doctor, and she thinks any
mother who follows the simple rules
she has observed in the training of
Winifred will be rewarded by children
as robust
There must be a cheerful atmos-
phere, first of all, in the home.
Plenty Of fresh air all the time, out
of doors whenever the weather per-
mits No cradle rocking and no mouth
deforming comforter.
A daily bath, made so attractive that
the child will look forward to it as to
an adventure. Many child learns to
hate and fear the bath, because some
one carelessly put him into too hot or
cold water. The temperature should
always be tested.
Deep breathing exercises developed
| Winifred's chest, and she was taught
to sing and whistle. Every day she
plays ball and takes long walks. A
child should be given daily exercise
like this to keep down excessive
energy. Many mothers think that
their children are nervous, when they
are simply yearning to throw off ex-
| cessiVe energy.
Winifred promises to be quite as ex-
traordinary in the latter part of her
| life as she has been in the beginning,
if her mothers theories continue to
work successfully Mrs. Stoner agrees
with the scientist who recently said
that the natural lot of mans life should
be $50 years. "He claims that every
animal but man reaches the allotted
age of five times the length of time
| it takes to reach maturity. According
to his observation, the ordinary man is
not fully mature until he reaches the
thirtieth milestone. Therefore, he
should live to be seven score and ten"
Winifreds mother regards fear and
worry as demons, and quotes the
aforementioned scientist as authority
that these two kill off one-half the hu-
man race before they live a fourth of
their allotted years.

because it is necessary to consider

so. The great Roman revolution was

Odd in trim, but exceptionally neat
and pleasing in appearance is this
beautiful fiveroom bungalow, The
size is q feet inches by 40 feet 6
inches on the ground. but it has an
overhang Of nearly four feet.
It is known and spoken of as the
prettiest bungalow in town, and the
owner admits that there may be some
truth in the statement.
The cobblestone porch abutments,
porch stair walls, piers and chimney
are prominent features of the exte'
rior decoration scheme, but the shin
gle siding, the wide projection of cor
nice, and the shape Of the roof all
help. There are differences among
the windows that vary the window
proposition and help to keep up inter
est. The different parts of the house
are not made all in one mold as for
merly, but the general design is ad-
hered to, without repetition. In this
window scheme there are single win
1ows, double windows, and one frame
holds five two-sash windows separated
only by the sash-weight boxes, but ev-
cry window in the house is bordered
around with the same plain white
casing.
There also is a similarity in glaz-
ing, but 1t is difficult to find two win
dows that are exact duplicates of each
other. There is a general combination
OF large lights in the lower sash and
small lights in the upper sash, but
they all fit into the perspective to
take their proper place in the COM
plete picture.

Mrs. Stoner acknowledges her in
debtedness to the late Prof. William
James of Harvard for her first ideas OF
child training. He believed that every
child has hidden ideas which can be
brought to life through properly d.
rected play in the cradle. Instead OF
fearing taxation of the baby's mind,
Professor James believed that the
sooner a child is given mental training
the better for him.

Mrs. Stoner wakes most enthusiastic
when she tells what part imagination
plays in her work of teaching. She
believes, with a great scientist. that
mortals can never know true happi-
ness until they make imagination their
constant companion.
Winifred Stoner at twelve is totally
lacking in "bigheadedness," her moth
er explains, because she realizes how
little she knows compared to what
there is to learn in the wide field OF
knowledge; but as a baby she was en-
couraged to believe she could do all
things her mother could do.

believe a child should be educated as
soon as it shows an intelligent inter
est in the world, and this education
should be along lines shown by the
child's tendencies. 1t is precisely be-
cause the education of children begins
too late that they find it hard to learn
and strain their minds in the attain
ment of knowledge. Let child get ac-
customed to using its mind in early
childhood and study will never tax 1t,
but it will be a perpetual joy. Doctor

and authority on engineering. The
Younger brother did even better. AS
Lord Kelvin of Largs he is known as
the greatest of nineteenth century ply
