The wondrous Hills at Dawn.

The Wondrous Hills at Dawn.
He was awakened next morning by
the thunder of heavily shod men storm
ing in from the bunkhouse. The smell
of cooking was in the air and the
crack under his door showed lamp
light.
The rain was still dripping softly
from the caves. AS Sandry came into
the eating room the old woman of the
kitchen was looking over the crowd
of men as impersonally as he himself
had done the night before with a
poise as assured and a subtle force as
strongly indicated.
Her bright, old eyes, blue as his
own, met his lifted glance as he hesi-
tated.
''Set down In the place you had last
night, Mr.. Sandry." she said In a rich
voice, ITS yours now. John'll move
down a notch"
She went back into the mysterious
region Of pies and doughnuts. and
Sandry was conscious of n slight feel
ing of wonder. He was already taken
in as one Of the family In subtle
way. and 1t did not quite suit him to
be so. II he missed certain lifelong
| attributes of service and surrounding,

rough men with an inward tremor of
rebellion. he made no sign,

tie under the rundown collar and a
rather short blue skirt showing her
feet laced trinity into miniature boots.

II was still dark when the loggers
trooped out into the fine rain.
John Daily came to him.
"Now. what would you like, Mr.. San.

LEARN WAY TO MAKE LIVING
That rendered at Woman's Club
at Pittsburgh.

A woman of wealth. but who is new
ertheless identified with civic work
and is practicing lawyer. lately gave
talk before Pittsburgh mothers
club. Here is part of what she
said:
There is one question to which
every woman ought to be- able to an
swer Yes. 1t is this: Can you earn
living If you should need to do?"
II there is one lesson more than an
other that has been emphasized in re-
cent years 1t is that the unframed
suffer most when pinch comes An
other lesson that is most sufficiently
understood is that there is practical
ly no security in fortune.
Be prepared. is advice for a woman
as we'll as for a nation. Train your
daughters, you mothers. to something
that will pay a return sufficient at
least for a livelihood. 1t can do no
harm. and 1t may mean just the diff
ference between happiness and misery
in later life.
There is nothing more pathetic than
the sight of some unfortunate woman.

who has been suddenly reduced to
poverty. We all know some such
woman. Pottering along at things
that are of no real use. at work given
by pitying friends or strangers. more
or less dazed by contact with world
that is foreign to her. sinking little
by little to meaner surroundings and
more desperate makeshifts. she at last
disappears. sucked under in the mael-
strom she has neither the strength nor
the training to resist.
Surely you don't want to run even
the faintest chance of becoming such
a derelict. you don't want your daugh'
ters to run any such risk. So be Rre-
pared. Be fit for something. trained
to something. ready to take hold If
you must. Know at least one thing
so well that people will be glad to
pay you for doing 1t. Be able to say
Yes II the world should ask you If
you can return fair value for living.
1t is the surest of human safeguards.
