THE SIGNING MOUNTAIN.


Once upon time in far-off country
there was a big mountain near vii
lage that the people called the Sigh
ing Mountain, because on summer eve
nings when the wind was blowing
gently it sounded as II some one were
on top of the mountain signing.
The mountain was covered with
thick, growths of briars and prickly
trees, and after, going half way all
were glad to return, and SO it had
been many years since anyone had
made the attempt, when one day there
came a stranger to the little village
and heard the sighing, of the big noun
tain. ea3
There is no use trying to find out
what makes the sighing."'. the old peo-
pie told the stranger. 1T has been
tried many times, and each one who
went failed to get farther than half
way up tne mountain. Fhn
"'Ah, but that is just why | want to
try" replied the stranger. 81 shall
start at daybreak tomorrow"
All the village people we're to see
the stranger start, for he was still a
stranger to them. He told them he
would tell his name when he returned
and the old men shook their heads
and said, "He will never return, for
when he finds he has failed he will
ride away by another road"
But he did not return in the time
they had expected, and then they grew
frightened by his long absence, but
there was no sign of him to be seen
ON the mountain, and the signing was
heard as usual that night.

not be heard. and crept around the
rock to find an opening.
This rock stood on the very top Of
the mountain and close to the edge,
so that one end Of it was at the side
OF the mountain, and the stranger
found that II the rock had an opening
it must be. on that side.
All this time the signing continued
and the stranger swung himself ont
over the edge of the mountain by taxi
ing hold of twigs and bits Of project
ing rock.
Yes, the rock did have an opening,
and on a long stone shaped like q
couch lay beautiful maiden, her eyes
closed and her hands folded over her
breast.
If it had not been for the signing
which came from her lips the stranger
would have thought she was made Of
marble, so still and white she looked

But what the village did not see
was what happened when the stranger
disappeared among the trees.
He looked about for something, and
where the briars grew the thickest he
found it; it was a big tree, with long.
slender branches, and this the stranger
| tried to reach by sending his horse
over the briars, but the faithful animal
tcould not be made to go, SO the rider
ldismounted and climbed through and
over tile sharp bushes until he came
to the tree, then he broke off a branch
as long as twice the length OF his arm,
but when he tried to return to his
horse he found he had trouble in hold
| ing the branch, or rather he had hard
work to go toward his horse, for the
branch drew him in another direction.
But the stranger held tight to the
branch with both hands, and though
his clothes were torn almost to uatters
and his hands sore from the sharp
briars he managed to reach his horse
and mounted, holding the stick all the
thine.
And now strange thing happened.
The stranger held the stick before
him and it turned the pointed end
toward the top of the mountain at the
very center.
Then the stranger knew why he had
had trouble in getting back to his
horse; he was going in the wrong di-
rection. To reach his horse he did
not go up the mountain, but along the
side. Taking the broken end of the
stick in one hand, the stranger struck
the briars and bushes with the point,
and they separated and made a path
for the horse and rider as though
some unseen hand had chopped them
off.
| Up and up went the horse, and when
the sun was setting the stranger
l.stopped his horse and looked around.
He could hear no sound, not even
the chirping of the birds; all was still,
and soon it would be dark, but the
stranger did not seem at all in hurry.
Instead he cleared a place for his
horse and himself to rest on the
ground under a tree, and, throwing
the stick that had served him so well
into the bushes, he lay down and was
isoon asleep.
| When he awoke the moon was shin
ling. and. taking hold of the bride, he
brought his horse to his feet and
mounted him. Then he listened, and
the sound that he heard was sigh.
He waited, and again he heard the
lsigh.
| When the stranger reached the tip
of the mountain he looked about, but
nothing could be seen but trees and
rocks. Still he heard the signing and
inow it seemed very close to him.
But the stick seemed to have losr
Tits charm now. There were no briar,
to clear away and the stranger held i
loosely in his hand as he listened, bu
suddenly the stick flew out of hi
hand and seemed to fly to the top 0
la high rock. where it rested
s. Tying his horse to e tree, tn
stranger went toward the rock. am

TEN DELICIOUS
SUMMER DRINKS.

In preparing these cooling bever-
ages 1t should be borne in mind that
one of the chief attractions of a non

1t possible for her children to choose
later what they want to do. In most
cases the girl goes though high school
without having the most remote idea
what she wishes to do whea she finish
es. Some ability in some line should
be developed in order that she may
have something by which to earn her
living, If she must"
Another thing which a mother owes
her daughter, according to Miss Van
Hoesen lis. some kind Of training along
artistic lines which can be brought
to bear in the arrangement of the
home.
The two requisites for a happy
home," she declares, "are an income
sufficient to keep it comfortable. and
some one to dispense that income in
an adequate way. It is the duty of
mothers today to know how and where
they can get the best for their money.
not the most for their money"
The best training which girl can
possibly receive is at the hands Of her
mother. And yet many modern mo-
thers fail TO adequately realize the full
measure of the responsibilities which
rest with them.
That the athletic girl is drug in
the matrimonial market is quite an
error, but one which is frequently made
by people whose perspective is not as
clear on certain matters as it should
be. For athleticism does not exclude
domesticity, nor intellectualism nor
any of those little charms and femi-
nine ways" which render a woman
so attractive to masculine eyes.
Upon the contrary, the athletic girl
is more of companion to the average
man than her stay-at-homo sister. She
can join in his games his tennis, his
golf, in the hundred and one outdoor
forms Of entertainment in which the
mind and physique of man revel. She
can calm his leisure moments in a
way that the overdomesticated damsel
nj rer can. And, moreover, she ap.
pears to his admiring eyes as healthier
and brighter than the average indoor
girl.
