Hill; DR.. J. C. Markoe, Mr.. Soucheray,
of musical fame; J. P. Melady, J. w.
Cassin, Pierce Butler, T. F. Conroy,
County Superintendent of Schools
Geo. H. Ref, County Commissioner
Leonard Bures, are among the names
of those perhaps best known to the
community at large, whose names are
found either on the list of members of
the local parish, or of city parishes
nearby.
The newly built parish school will
serve to rapidly increase this inhuen-
tial and growing Catholic population
about the shores of White Bear Lake
and Bald Eagle, no doubt to the great
benefit of the community generally, in
all the varied walks of life.

gradually sorting her music for the

popular things there, another little pile

giggle as she saw him pass the door
She always had an absurd idea that
his hinges should be oiled.
Miss Gail is not at home, sir" she
heard the butler say, and Gail paused
with a sheet of music suspended in
her hand, the whole expression of her
face changing. She had only given
instructions that one person should re-
ceive that invariable message.

toire which Gail had selected for him,
came pulsing out of the music room,
first hesitantly, and then with more
strength, as the friendly nearness be-
tween himself and the accompanist
became better established.
Presently, the listeners in the library
noticed an unusual pause between the
songs, a low-voiced discussion, and
then, the two perfectly blended voices
rose in harmony so perfect that there
was moisture In the eyes of two Of the
ladies present.

was frenzied by one mad thought
which had swept out of his universe

to kill was no more fearful than the
purpose which possessed him now.
Gail, standing slight, fragile. her
brown eyes staring, her brown hair
disheveled about her white brow, felt
every atom OF strength leaving her, de-
voured in the overwhelming might OF
this monstrous creature. The sheet
of music, which she had been holding
all this time, dropped from her nerve

just an instant. He was in no frame

Painting Walls.

Before paint or calcimine is applied
to walls every crevice should be filled
with plaster or cement. To the caleb
mine put one-quarter pound white glue
in cod water overnight and heat grad

Mix eight pounds of whiting with hot
water: add the dissolved glue and stir
together, adding warm water until
the consistency of thick cream. Use a
calcimine brush and finish as you go
along. If skim milk be used instead
of water the glue may be omitted.

birds, SLAUGHTER Blocks.

In country districts where shelled
snails are abundant a thrilling thing
it is to see robin, goldfnch or thrush
capture a snail and HE them to a GER
tain smooth-topped stone. there to soar
high in the heavens and repeatedly
drop the unhappy snail until finally
the shell is triumphantly cracked open
as you would a nut.
These slaughter blocks, anvils OF
stone are to be found almost anywhere
that birds and snails are common. 1t
is, to be sure, no easy matter, to catch
the resourceful birds in the act; but
even if your patience goes uncewarded
the crushed and broken houses OF
shell scattered near such stones tell
the tale.

anything upon which ne had set his
wish must be his, or else every victory
he had ever gained would be swept
aside and made of no value. He must
accomplish, or die!
He was without God, this man; he
had nothing within him which con-
ceded, for moment, greater power
than his own. In all his mental i'm.
agery, which was rich enough in ma
terial things, there was no conception
OF deity, or Of need for one. To
what should he pray, and for what,
when he had himself to rely upon?
Worship was an idealistic diversion. a
poetic illusion, the refuge of the weak,
who excused their lack of strength by
ascribing it to mysterious something
beyond the control of any man. He
tolerated the popular notion that there
must be God, as he tolerated codes
of social ethics; the conventions which
laid down, for instance, what a gentle
man might or might not do, externally,
and still remain gentleman. In the
meantime, if man-made law came be-
tween him and the accomplishment of
his ends, he broke it, without a trace
of thought that he might be wrong.
Laws were the mutual safeguard of
the weak, to protect themselves
against the encroachment of the
strong; and it was in the equally nat.
ural province of the strong to break
down those safeguards. In the same
way he disregarded moral laws. They,
too, were for the upholding of the
weak, and the mere fact that they ex-
listed was proof enough that they were
an acknowledgment of the right of the
strong to break them.
There is a mistake here. 1t lies in
the statement that Allison recognized
no God. He did. Allison. Not Allison,
the man, but the uncomfortable will of
Allison, will which was a divinity in
itself. He believed in it, centered on
it all his faith, poured out to it all the
fervidness Of his heart, of his mind,
of his spirit, of his body. He worshiped
it!
So it was that he came to the con-
sideration of the one thing which had
attempted to deny itself to him. Gail!
A fame ragged through his veins
which fairly shook him with it's vio-
lence. It was not only the reflex of
his determination to have her, but it
was the terrific need Of her which had
grown up in him. Have her? OF
course he would have her! If she
would not come to him willingly, he
would take her! She was not to be
considered in it any more than he had
considered any other adverse factor in
the attainment Of anything he had de-
sired He was possessed of a rage
now, which centered itself upon one
object, and one alone. Gail! She was
his new summit. his new peak, the
final one where he had planned to
rest; but now his angry thought was
to attain it, and spurn it, broken and
crumbled, as had been all the other
barriers to his will, and press ruthless
ly onward into higher skies, he knew
not where. 1t was no time now, to
think on that. Gail first!

to reason, but some instinct urged him
to speed. He crouched slightly, as a
wild beast might. But the fiutter of
that sheet of music had done more
for Gail than it had for him. 1t had
loosed the paralysis which had held
her, had broken the fascination of hor-
ror with which she had been spell
bound. Just behind her was a low
French window which led to small
side balcony. With one bound she
burst this open, she did not know how,
and leaped over the light balcony
rail, and ran across the lawn to the
rectory gate, up the steps and into the
side door, and into the study, where
Rev. Smith Boyd sat toiling over O.

Norma, with her sweetness, her radi-

Norma was not "temperamental"

men, Harry was "temperamental." A

Portable income. Harry had created
heroines innumerable, blondes and
brunettes. piquant beroines. stately
ones, demure and dainty ones Some
times he had wished that he could
turn some OF these ideals into flesh
and blood. But alas! the ideal hero
inc is a figment OF the brain, an airy
nothing.
And Norma was not Harry's ideal.
She was simply a sweet girl, admir-
ably suited to him. Harry felt re.
freshment OF the spirit when, turning
away from his latest creation, he en-
countered the blue eyes OF Norma,
sane, healthy ard always bringing him
back to his proper appreciation of
life.
There was only one flaw in their
happiness. May Arbuckle, Normas
best friend, was "temperamental."
And she did not like Harry.
Harry was conscious OF this un.
spoken hostility. He knew that If
ever the dreadful day dawned when
misunderstanding arose between him
and his fiancee, he would have to
reckon with the implacable hostility
OF Miss Arbuckle. He sensed that
through all the frigid courtesy of their
meetings
Harry had gone into the country for
a brief vacation. He did not want to
leave Norma, but circumstances made
