should be guilty of such wrong-doing.
"Tom Ansel was SO funny nobody
could keep from laughing" he had
told his mother.
What did Tom Ansel do?" his
mother asked.
HE made a face-like this" And
Joey did his best to initiate the antics
Of the clown Of the school. 1t seemed
he did the work imperfectly. for his
mother merely said: "Humph!
don't see anything about that to make
anyone laugh"
Yet Joey knew that Tom Ansel had
looked funny. II he had failed to con-
vince his mother that Tom looked
funny he wondered how he should JUS
tify himself in her eyes for what fol-
lowed. He had felt sufficiently dis
graced when the teacher had publicly
rebuked him for laughing, thus offend
ing his boyish dignity. He was the
more indignant when Billy Upton at
recess had shouted at the top Of his
lungs: "Joey Hubbard laughed out
loud in school! Joey Hubbard laughed
out loud In SCHOOL," Joey still felt that
he was justified when he protested and
shouted. "You had better quit that,
Billy Upton" And when Billy had in
quired, "Who will make me?" and
Joey had responded. II WILL" and
when the taunt had been repeated and
Joey had grappled with Billy and had
his own hair severely pulled in the
tussel that ensued, he had felt ag-
grieved because he had not made a
better showing. He felt that he was
only trying to maintain his dignity.

mother could not understand why he

know. joey was unhappy all the even
ing, and when he went to bed at 9
o'clock he could not sleep.
Then something strange happened.
Out Of the dark corner of the room
arose a shadow bigger than any man.
The shadow had an amiable smile
upon its face, removing fear from
Joey's mind, as 1t held out hair to
his sight.

II don't believe have that many
hairs in my head" faltered Joey.
"Oh, yes. you have. If you don't
believe it, count them and see."
Joey didn't feel competent to argue
the matter. He looked at the Shadow.
and he looked at the hair with mild
curiosity. wondering why the scrip
ture said. as he remembered it did.
that the hairs of our head are num-
bered, and that not hair falls from
our heads without the Fathers notice.

The Mystic Number

1--WE Germans say that All good
things are three" but seven is
also a remarkable, one might
- almost say. a mystic number.
The little girl in wordsworth's
well-known poem said, I'VE Are
Seven" The days of the week are
seven. The colors Of the rainbow are
seven. The notes Of the musical scale
are seven (the eighth one being the
same as the first). There were said
to be seven sages Of Greece. and seven
kings of Rome. and the city of Rome
was built on seven hills. London city
has seven hills also: Cornhill, Snow
Hill. Ludgate Hill. Fish Street Hill,
Bread Street Hill. Holborn Hill and
Tower Hill.
The world was made in seven days
There were seven famous cities of an
uquity: Rome. Antioch. Nineveh.
Babylon. Athens. Tyre. and Carthage.
There are seven wonders of the
world, that is Of the ancient world,
and these were: the Colossus Of
Rhodes "a huge statue striding across
the entrance to the harbor of
Rhodes). the Pyramids. the Ephesian
temple of Diana, the Mausoleum Cor
tomb Of King Mausolus, the remains
Of which are now in the British Mu-
seum). the hanging Gardens Of Baby
Ion, the Statue Of Jupiter and the
Pharos.
There are also seven wonders of
history. These are: the Colosseum,
the Catacombs. the Great Wall Of
China, Stonehenge, the Leaning Tower
Of Pisa, the Porcelain Tower Of Nam
kin. and the Mosque Of st. Sophia at
Constantinople.
Here are the seven new wonders Of
the world: Wireless. the Telephone.
the Aeroplane. Radium, Antiseptics
and Antitoxins. Spectrum Analysis.
X-RayS. ........ ......e.... .
There are many passages In the
Bible in which the number seven IL
mentioned. and it is on this account
and the facts mentioned above that
Seven Is considered q sacred number,
