as though they were ashamed to be
caught in their ragged clothes under
blue sky. Downy-topped masses OF
cumulus poked drowsy heads over the
horizon and watched them run. Out
of the dome of heaven filtered a single
trill OF song.

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 Glen 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
and held It, Several lengths of legs

From Maple house Alan slipped out
to smoke last cigar. He hesitated a
moment and then strobe through the
long grass laden with seed and just
decking itself with dewy jewels for the
night. He crossed to the old church.
The door was open. He entered and
climbed the crumbling stairs to the

MOST ACCIDENTS IN HOMES
Majority of Injuries Can Be Traced
to the Carelessness OF
individuals.

The safety first" movement Is or
dinarily understood to mean caution
in public, in crossing streets or board
ing cars, or carefulness i'm the factory
in handling tools or machinery, but, ac-
cOrdng to the report of the coroner
of Cook county, Illinois, there is more
need for safety first" methods in the
home than in the street or factory.
In II years of the Chicago coroner's
incumbency the total number of deaths
by accident investigated by his office
was 29,S64. OF these 1924 were "ac-
cidents at home" and 1923 "Outside
the home"
Most of the accidents at home are
traceable to carelessness. Burns and
scalds caused many deaths. Asphyxia-
ton, poisoning, suffOcatiOn, falls, ex-
posure and neglect, careless use OF
matches, firearms, gas and oil stoves,
gasoline, liquid stove polish, defective
stovepipes and fiues, SCOT, etc., cost
thousands of lives. In Cock county In
1918, 100 children under five years or
age were killed by scalds and burns.

it did not depress her; she knew her,

hood to a silent conservation. These
cool valleys and holows; the Low

Knew Ex,r.mea Of FORTUNE.

Few careers have covered wider ex-
tremes of fortune than did that OF
John OF Cappadocia. He was a Roman
officer OF very high rank under EN-
peror Justinian, in the sixth cen.
fury. He was a very able man, and
under his direction the finances of the
government 1ourished wonderfully.
incidentally he amassed a great for
tune for himself. But he was very
corrupt, and the revenues were raised
ION the deaths Of thousands, the pow
erty of millions, the ruins OF cities. and
the desolation of provinces" He lived
most extravagantly, and INDUCED In
all sorts OF wicked practices. But his
life OF ostcntatious profigacy was sud
denly changed into one of abject pow
erty. Though guilty of many crimes.
he was accused of one Of which he
seems to have been innocent, and was
condemned to be scourged like the
lowest of criminals. Nothing OF his
vast fortune was left him but one old
ragged cloak, and it is said that for
seven years he begged bread In the
streets of cities that once had trem.
bled at his name.
