The Richmond, Fredericksburg and

she said:

Just as we'll as you are, down

"You are" replied Mrs. Giraffe, land

Never mind" answered Mrs. Duck;
II may be down on the ground, but

stone walls for freedom"
He took her hand within his own
and slipped the ring from her finger.
Il will have this made into q PEN

member that loved you deeply enough
to set you Free"
He did not look into Esther's eyes,
but turned away toward the cur.
tanned window and stood there look.
ing out over the city streets. Jimmy
was not seeing anything out there.
Instead, he was looking forward to .
few years distant when he would have
erased the vision of Esther from his
life thoughts. The darkness brought
heavy sigh from his lips and he
closed his eyes.
He opened them because Esther had
slipped over to his side and her head
dropped softly onto his shoulder. She
was weeping nervously and Jimmy's
arms swept comfortingly about her.
Never mind, little girl" he said
1T was my own fault for being so
conceited as to imagine l could take
the place of all the wonderful things
that filled your former life your
family, the beautiful country as well
as Barney, Billy and Bobs." In spite
OF himself slight spasm Of pain
shot over Jimmy. 1t was difficult to
realize that Esther might some day
belong to another man.
Esther's sobs ceased suddenly and
she looked wonderingly up at Jimmy.
For the first time in her life Barney,
as a possible lover, had been suggested
to her. The thought sent wave Of
hot color over her cheeks and Jimmy
released her from his arms.
After all, Esther" he said as an
added consideration, Il am going to
ask you to wear this ring just until
you are on the train going home
Parents are bound to blame the other
fellow in a case like this and my,
parents are only human. would
rather not have them know until
you are gone. Do you nind?"
Esther was trembling violently and
Jimmy only drew her tenderly into
his arms, so that he seemed to be
holding her against world Of emo
tions. Manlike, he smoothed back the
soft hair from her brow and planted
q kiss there.
Il would rather live in a prison all
my life," she said, brokenly, than to
live apart from you" She looked up
and smiled contentedly.

HOLDING GARDEN TO MARK
Constant Attention to What Might Be
Considered Trifles Will Be
Found Imperative.

One of the worlds greatest artists,
Michel Angelo, said perfection is
made up of trifes. The rules of art,
SO far as rules apply, bear the same
relation to every earthly activity,
whether it be sculpture or gardens
Therefore, the perfect garden is one
where the planter has given, at some
time, attention to each little matter Of
detail to see that it harmonizes with
the garden as whole. 1t may not be
possible to deal with all at once, yet
In time the grand total may be COW
cred and the sum of the little things
will constitute perfection. In order to
keep a garden up to high standard
1t is not necessary to make many or
marked changes at once, but deal with
each little problem as it arises. If a
plant dies, put in another at once. Do
not wait for bigger lob with sew
eral. Keep substitute plants always
ready
