to blame, neither of us entirely in the
right, yet either or both stand to lose
something whichever way it goes
But one thing I am determined not
TO lose. Or at least 1 am determined
to sacrifice everything else to keep
that-our belonging to each other"
Cora pressed his hand. "If every
thing else has got to go to the wall,
that must be left us.
we have solved other problems by
compromise. by leaving things work
out themselves in the future so long
as the present was still serene. But
we have come to another kind of
problem this time 1t won't let itself
be compromised. 1t won't let itself
be postponed. Either you or I, or
both, will be bruised in this. But not

do as Mrs Brett wants US to do. I'll
go and live with them"
David shook his head.
It's too late for that solution, dear,
he said. 1T isn't your being wrong
that made the muddle, but the fact
that you were right. I see that now.
I had already made you take one big

October a Month of Beauty and Joy
of Living for All Lovers of Nature
BY DOLLY DALRYMPLE

I7GIHERE is an oh saying that any
body who wishes to know upon a
gray morning what sort of a day
it is likely to be, need only watch the
smoke as it ascends from some chimney
top.
IF the smoke from the mouth
OF the chimney goeth South,
tbs the North wind that blows
From the country of SHOWS
Look out for rough weather;
The cold and the North wind
Are always together.
When the smoke pouring forth
From the chimney goeth North,
mild day it will be,
A warm time we shall see:
The South wind is blowing
From the land where the orange
And fig trees are growing"
I recall one very gray day when I was
particularly anxious for the next one to
be fair and sunshiny. that l thought OF
this old-time weather indication-the
smoke blowing from the chimneys
As there is a high stack within my
field of vision, l could see it clearly; al
though the clouds lifted and the sun
shone in an intermittent sort of way,
the smoke blew straight toward the west
and according to the rhyme this was
anything but an encouraging or hopeful
sign, for
IF West goes the smoke,
Get your waterproof cloak
And umbrellas about
'Tis the East wind that's out,
A wet day you will find it;
The East wind has always
A storm close behind it,"
The day dawned bright and fair, but
two hours after breakfast a downpour
of rain came and umbrellas and over
shoes and waterproofs became desirable
companions for the rest of the day ac-
cording to the adage.
October-Gol den, glorious October-re-
minds us of old saws and adages some
now. When the leaves begin to fall,
gradually loosening their hold upon the
branches since the first days of the early
fall, and the great masses of leaves dotted
about makes us realize for the first time
That summer is over and autumn is here
and we begin to think of old sayings.
There is pretty smile to my mind
of the relation that the seasons have to
each other and how each one works for
the good OF the one that is to come affer
and our own responsibility toward the
generation that is to follow US!
October days-ideal and beautiful-re-
veal the smoke from our several chin
ney stacks streaming out toward the
east, for the west wind is Blowing.
1t is east the smoke flies;
We may look for blue skies.
Soon the clouds will take flight,
Twill be sunny and bright.
The sweetest and best wind
Is surely that fair weather
Bringer, the west wind

After leaving Cora at the hotel
David took Mrs. Brett's car back to
her garage, left word that he would
explain later why neither he nor Cora
had come and returned to pace the
street in front of the hotel in which
his wife was alone. A bright-looking
hotel clerk came out and handed him
an envelope saying:
II beg pardon, sir. but this enve-
lope was sent down to be mailed to
you, but as I noticed you pass the
hotel several times tonight, and re-
membering your name, I thought I'd
save you day by giving it to you
direct"
David thanked and tipped him, and,
tearing the envelope open eagerly,
read the letter Cora had written to
Tom Woodford, whom he knew to be
a boyhood friend of hers-an appeal
for comfort, solace, a cry of pain!
Pain caused by himself, an appeal to
another man and vet addressed to
himself!
David. puzzled and frowned over
the strange situation that was tang
ling through the tangle. He entered
the hotel and knocked on the door of
her room. The loneliness in Cora's
voice as she cried Come in!" moved
him somehow more than anything
else. She had been crying.
Coral" he cried, taking her in his
arms.
When she had composed herself
somewhat he helped her dress for the
street and took her to his rooms at
his hotel. 1t was a sober and almost
sad reconciliation" neither Of them

During October the west wind often
brings the day of days-those that seem
to call aloud for every one to leave her
indoor duties and take to the open.
1t may be the cali of the wild which
some of us still feel within us, and which
indoor living has not entirely stifled, but
anyway whatever it is, we stop and
think, what does dressmaking or jelyl
making or curtain stretching or house
cleaning or even early Christmas shop
ping amount to, when we can spend the
day in the woods, among the golden
crimson tinted autumn beauties of ma
ture?
When may the sky again be SO blue or
the ground so wonderfully carpeted?
At night upon the country roadsides
bonfires may be seen here and there,
and the good wholesome odor of the
burning leaves makes q. real scent of au-
tumn in the air among the wreaths Of
the blue-gray smoke curling upwards.
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers;
The red fire blazes,
The gray smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!
When the west wind is blowing and the
sunshine is warm, the air Is clear and
the trees are a gorgeous mass of chang
ing colorS, who would ask for q bet
ter time to be alive and able to enjoy
the beauties of nature?
