ent.
5. Associate with the noblest people
you can find; read the best books; live

Today's Poem
"HELP TIGHTEN THE LOAD,


"Help tighten the load!
Humanity stubbles ahead on it's road,
Urged DER the deserts, beset by the
goad;
Men bend under burdens Of hunger
and care
And women must suffer and toll and
despair;
Yet, even the children astray in the
strife,
Are bowed by the weight till they
weary Of life.
Hank! unto each soul that is hero,
not slave.
How clear sounds the call to arise and
be brave.
Help tighten the load
Help tighten the load
With all Of the strength that the heart
can command,
With all Of the power of brains and
of hand,
With wills set to sacrifice, struggle
dare,
With love that seeks ever each burden
to share
With unflagging endeavor that stops
not to ask
The length Of the journey, the cost Of
the task,
Come, sons Of the kingdoml Come,
children Of God
And along the dark path by the
worlds anguish trod.
Help tighten he load"

"Oh." said Rosamond quickly, "Tll

story.

future biologists. The stream be-
comes blocked up by the failing heap,
and more or less stagnant pools are
formed along the sides of the gully.
Where the gully broadens two or three

muddy pools between them. The mud
is deposited in the sluggish waters,
buries the rocks of the ridges, and
gives morainelike formations that

The Stone
Gods
BY Temple Bailey

Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary
The Garden of the Stone Gods was
set in the midst of high city, but so
high were the walls that surrounded
1t that it was cut off from the sight
Of outsiders, and the noise of traffic
came family to the ears of Rosa
mond, as she sat day after day by
the fountain working fairy webs of
lace on a cushion, as she had been
taught in convent far across the
seas.
So many years had she dwelt In
the convent that she seemed less an
American girl than a foreigner, and
now that she was buried here in this
strange old garden, she seemed to
live in a dream life far removed from
that of the girls, who, on the other
side Of the walls, went back and
forth on gay modern quests Of shop
ping and motoring. golfng and rid
ing.
Once an airship had whizzed over
head, and the beat of it's motors had
come down to them family.
Rosamond's uncle had looked up
into the skies and had said. fiercely,
Can we never get away from mod
ern horrors"
But Rosamond had looked up at
the big airship. sailing over their
heads like a huge silver dragonfly,
and then down at the impossible stone
gods which surrounded the fountain,
and had sighed
Rosamond hated the stone gods,
and she yearned inexpressibly for the
life that other girls led.
One day outside the walls she
heard a voice singing. 1t was mans
voice, strong and sweet, and the song
was a love song.
In her quiet garden, Rosamond
had heard little of love. Her uncle
had never married; he hated women.
The song, as it floated out on the
spring air, seemed a call to Rosa
| mond to come out and be free.
So she left her lace pillow and ran
to the end of the garden, and climbed

he used to charm her uncle, but the
older man grew. eager for talks and
arguments with the young doctor.
They lunched together and dined to-
gether, and every day Rosamond sat
at the table content to listen, and
meet the glance of the steady eyes
which seemed to say, always: Trust
me-"
And she did trust him, even when
one day he went by her with averted
head as he passed through the gar
den on his way to his motor.
At lunch she had the key to the
situation. Il have thought some
times" her uncle said, restlessly,
that the doctor looks at you as If
he loves you-it would be calamity
IL he should learn to care for you,

Rosamond's own heart beat fu-
riously, but she said carelessly: "He
scarcely notices me at all uncle"
The next day the doctor came early
to the garden. Il must speak to you
before your uncle comes" he said to
Rosamond, who had arisen at his ap-
proach. II love you'll want you for
my wife-but-I don't want you to
marry me in order to escape from

Rosamond's eyes dropped before

Properties of Metals.

AS is we'll known, some metals are
unsuitable for casting, while others,
like iron, can readily be cast in any
desired shape. The property of cast
ing well is said to depend upon wheth-
er the metal contracts or expands on
solidifying from the liquid form. Iron,
like water, expands in solidifying, and
hence the solid metal may be seen
floating in the liquid iron about it.
The expansion causes it to fill the die
into which it is poured, and so it can
be cast easily Gold and silver con-
tract in cooling. and. therefore. are rot
suitable for casting.
