Queer ENGLISH Custom.

It is customary in the Peak district
for the unmarried girls to peer
through the keyhoie of the house early
on st. Valentines morning before any
one else in the house is astir. They
believe that if this is done fasting,
omens of the year to come will be
seen. For instance, should a cock and
hen pass together, the girl may be
sure that she will be married ere
the year is out; :f she sees q robin
alone it is a sign that she will have
a fortune left her; If a sparrow flies
up to the door and pecks about as
though foE crumbs, she may take it
as a warning to be careful, and that
her good name will be in danger un-
less she take heed; while, if a hen
stroll by, it is sign that she will
be an old maid.

SEAS cARPETED WITH LIFE
The Water Supports Very Many More
Living Things Than Does
the Land.

Just as life began in the seas, so
the seas are full of life today. We
must not forget this; we must not
even think that there is no life in the
seas except the fishes and few sea-
weeds. The water of all the seas and
oceans, which cover much more than
half of the whole surface of our earth,
is simply crammed with life.
We must also remember that the
whole of the floor of the seas and
oceans-much more than half of the
whole surface of the earth--is thick
ly covered, without break anywhere,
by living things, growing and dying,
far from the eyes of men. These form
a living carpet spread over the en-
tire ocean floor, whilst the waters
above them are crowded with active
life of thousands and hundreds of
thousands of kinds, Life was born
in the ocean, and the ocean now holds
and supports by far the greater
number of living things upon our
earth

Think of the boy, John. If he lives
on with me in Taunton, gradually peo-
pie will forget the past. People die,
others migrate, others forget; others,
again, are kindly at heart. He can
grow up in Taunton free from shame.
If we go West, what chance will he
have among those of his own station?"
John Dunton bowed his head. His
wife's logic was unanswerable.
Father dotes On the boy" contin-
ued Lola. He says it must be as
have said, for his sake. He has no
grudge against you, and he is big
enough to realize that people go wrong
and can live down the past. He is
only thinking of our interests-mine
and the boys. And if you go away
and never come back, John, father will
give you a thousand dollars"
Dunton raised his head. Il will new
er trouble you, but he can keep his
thousand dollars" he answered.
Then the day came when the pris-
on gates were opened. John Dunton,
in 2. new suit and with SIS in his
pocket, left the place of his shame and
humiliation behind him forever.
Lola had not come to see him and
say good-by. Dunton felt no bitter
ness at that. He realized that the
final meeting would only have caused
her pain.
It was his plan to work his way
West, little by little. He had no
thought of going down to Taunton
again. But when he stepped into the
free world there came over him an
irresistible desire to see the little
son who had been born to him.
He resolved to go down to Taun-
ton under cover of night and plead to
be allowed to set eyes on the boys
face. Surely this much would not be
refused him.

FOR LOLA'S SAKE
BY II. M. EG8ERT.

All through the five years of his
prison life John Dunton fought down
the bitterness in his heart which told
him that his wife was responsible for
the tragic wreck that had come to
both of them.
A bank clerk, earning $50 week,
Dunton had tried to keep his front
up" in the gossipy little suburban
town. He had tried for Lola's sake.
Her father was the leading lawyer
in Taunton, and she had been reared
in every luxury. 1t was for her sake
that at last he had stolen money to
play the races.
During the first week of his i'm
prisonment his wife was too broken
to come near him. When ct last she
came she whispered that which made
the Imprisonment still more poignant.
A child was to be born to them
Lola visited him at widening inter
walls. So passed four years. She
had gone back to her parents. Moth
ing was ever said about the future
until month before Dunton's impris-
opment expired.
Then, to his surprise, the bank presl-
dent called on him. Mr.. Gray was a
good man, kindly as he was honorable
and silent. Having vindicated the ma
iesty of the law, he told Dunton that
his position would be open TIC him
when he returned.
You have good wife and a son.
Dunton," he said, grasping the convict
by the hand Don't get any foolish
notions about making a fresh start
somewhere else, but come straight
home and live down your past in a
manly way among those who know
you
Dunton was overwhelmed with hap
piness. He wrote to Lola, telling her
of the invitation
A couple of weeks later Lola came
to the prison, and before she spoke a
word Dunton could see that the in
terview was to be a painful one.

his wife.
