Time and Love the Two Things WIKI
Which All on the Earth
Must Reckon.

Time and love are the two forces
that are eternal and ever new, that
cannot be killed or erased. They move
on in cycles for all eternity. Wlthout
love this great, beautiful world Woulo
soon wither and decay.
Therefore love is the sum total OF
these things. It spells homes nre-
sides, society and civilization. LOOK
into the flreside lamps which should
be kindled in every room in the home
and if you find the oil of love eDDing
away hurry to replenish the lamps De-
fore the fiickering fame goes out.
Many serious faces tell the story OF
starving for love, the most precious
and valued thing in thevworld. THIS

without the love which happy sym

Tongue Of Butterfly.

OF all the marvels in which the
world Of insect life is so rich none Is
more curious and remarkable than the
tongue of the butterfly.
This is always of great length.
When not in use it is coiled like a
watch spring in fiat spiral close to
the head. But when the butterfly Wis
its the flower ON which it feeds the
tongue is uncoiled, the tip inserted
deep in the heart of the flower and
the juices sucked up.
The butterhy's tongue really con-
sists of two tubes. Each of these has
concave inner face, whose edges in
terlock one with the other so as to
form a third central tube.
In the butterflies we have the high
est development of the insect race 30
far as beauty is concerned. In Other
respects, however, they do lot hold g.
high a place. They are outranked IN

at the slip.
A shadow seemed to fall on them.
The rooms high, delicate paneling ana
the painted oval Of the ceiling seemed
TO hover over a suddenly darkened
emptiness. The hum and chatter OF
the throng became little and far away.
Collingeford and Alix felt as though
they sat alone and yet not alone. Col

spoken. YES" he said, "Bodsky has

II don't know" said Alix. "Oh, yes
l do. l remember. Someone told me
once that Alan surrounded himself
with tarnished regulations"
Each followed the train Of his own
thoughts until they reached the pier.
Alix did not get out of the cab. She
leaned from the window and said
goOd-by. COlIingeford held her hand
and her eyes long, then he turned
away and hurried into the elevator.
When Alix got home she sat down
and wrote a note to Alan-Just line
to tell him that, she was ready and
wished to see him. He came the fol
lowing afternoon. At first he was q
little awkward, strainlng just the least
too much not to betray his nervous
ness. But the sight Of Alix put him
at his ease. She had become true

The calm which had settled on AliX'
life puzzled her. She wondered If she
was beginning to miss Gerry less. She
was still debating the point when Col
lingeford arrived in the city. Upon
arrival he called on Mrs. J. Y. and
then on Nance and then, of course, on
Alix. As she came into the room he
felt strange fiuttering in his throat
1t stopped his words of greeting. he
suffered and stared. He had never
