cumulus poked drowsy heads over the

from Long lane and wheeled right and
left. They were full Of grown-ups
turned young for a day and youths
that thought they would be young for
ever.
The wagonette, swinging down the
road toward Maple house, suddenly
swerved and plowed through the tall
grass. Alan and Glenn on the end seats
were almost thrown out. Alan looked
back at the road and stared. A fat
donkey had claimed the right Of way

A hard light came into Alix' eyes.
Gerry felt himself suddenly alone. He
went doggedly on. He told of the
chase and the capture, of how he and
the girl had seen the canoe drift out
into the clutch of the eddy and swirl
out into the river and away. He told
her Of how they laughed and Alix
shrank. Gerry paused. his brow puck
cred. He wished he could tell in words
the battle of his spirit. the utter ruin
Of his downfall. He could not and in
stead he sighed.
There was something in that sigh SO
eloquent Of defeated expression that it
succeeded where words might have
failed. 1t called to Alix with the
strong call CT helpless things. 1t drew
back her mind to Gerry. With him
and the girl she threaded the path to
Fazenda Flores. Its ruin sprang upon
her through his eyes. With him she
discovered the traces of an ancient
ditch. with him and the old darky she
dug along that line through long, hot
months. She grew to know Lieber as
the tale went on and finally to love
him because Of all things Lieber
seemed to need love - somebody
else's love-most. She amused herself
with Kemp and his drawl. She tried
to keep her thoughts away from Mar
garita and at the coming of Marga-
rita's boy, she WINGED.
As he finished telling Of the coming
OF the Man, Gerry stopped short. The
thought came to him with tremendous
force that Alix too had gone through
that for him. The impulse to get up
and throw himself before her and on
his knees to thank her almost tore him
from his seat but he fought 1t down,
He hurried on with his story. He told
of the coming of Alan and Of the reve-
lation he had brought. And then in a
choked voice and only because he had
set himself to tell the whole truth he
pictured the food, the death Of True
Blue, and the overwhelming by the

and with hands braced ON the table
leaned towards Alix. 81 have told you

and the Man had lived-I would not

Alix sat very still and studied
Gerry's face. He had finished the task
he had set himself to do and he was
suddenly very tired. His eyes dropped
as though from their own weight and
then he raised them again to her in
scrutable face.

Riqht Childhood.

The first character of right child.
hood is that it is modest. A well-bred
child does not think it can teach it's
parents, or that it knows everything.
1t may think its father and mother
know everything, perhaps that all
grown people know everything: very
certainly it is sure that it does not.
And it is always asking questions,
and wanting to know more. Well,
that is the first character of a good
and wise man at his work. To know
that he knows very little; to perceive
that there are many above him wiser
than he; and to be always asking
questions, wanting to learn, not to
teach. No one ever teaches well who
wants to teach, or governs we'll who
wants to govern; it is an old saying
(Plato's, but l know not if his, first),
and as wise as old.-From "A Crown
of Wild Olives" by John Ruskin.

How to Soften the Elbows.

Sometimes a woman who has pretty
arm is troubled with dark, rough ell
bows and coarse skin on the back Of
the arm just above the elbow. In either
case it will take some time to restore
the original soft white flesh. Purchase
some liquid green soap, which is really
yellow in color, make good lather
with it and rub it well into the skin.
Leave it ON for about five minutes,
then rub it off thoroughly with warm
water and dry very carefully Care
less drying of this part of the arms is
the usual cause of the roughened skin.
After the cleansing apply a skin food,
rubbing it in well.
If the harsh surface does not yield
readily rub the rough place with a
pumice stone. then treat as described.

Ups and Downs of the Balkan Church.

Ups and Downs of the Balkan Church.
Nearly all the churches in Saloniki
were at one time Turkish mosques.
They continue to have the outward ap-
pearance of such. Two of the best
known churches, st. Sophia's and st.
Georges, were originally built by the
Christians many centuries ago. Then
the Turks came and the buildings were
converted into mosques. For five hun
dred years they remained as such, and
only after the recent Balkan war did
they come back into their own. In
the dome OF st. Sophia's is an example
of exceptionally fine mosaic work
which dates back to the building of
the church. This work of art has an
interesting history. When the Turks
came they painted it out so that none
Of the figures could be distinguished,
and so it remained for five hundred
years. Recently the paint was rubbed
off and now the original picture stands

that women of the non-possessing
classes owe the state any other kind
of service than they are already Civ
ing.
The life of the working woman,
loaded with the treble tasks of mother.
housewife and breadwinner, is more
than burdened, and it is a great in
justice not to consider motherhood a
perfect compensation for any war
service of men.
The men who fight battles are the
sons of mothers; the death of every
one wounds a mothers heart, and sad
ness of war is so heavily felt by the
women of any country that many of
them would rather give their own
lives than those of their sons.-Adele

An interesting, and, so far as known.
original idea has been tried in Stowe by
the agricultural students of the high
school. With little help from their
instructor, II. H. Cooley, they have given
several literary programs at the different
district school houses in this town.
These programs consisted of debates.
short talks, and essays on agricultural |
subjects such as: Resolved, That the |
Holstein is Better Breed of Dairy Cattle |
for the Vermont Farmer Than the
Jersey;" "Maple Sugar Making;" SAL
fafa;" Conservation of Soil Fertilizer"
and pure BREEDS VS. Grades" These
programs were well received and we'll
attended and many people were reached
who could not attend meeting at the
high school building. The unique feat
IRE of this plan is that the programs
we're given entirely by the students them
selves with very little assistance and that
