When a man has for years written
plays that have made great audi

Watterson said did more to end sec

he himself had ever penned-then

natural. Here are just a few that
Thomas put over the plate. And
they came just like this: bing bling!

CHAPTER XXI.

THE calm which had settled on Alix' 8
l. life puzzled her. She wondered if she
was beginning to miss Gerry less. And
then she remembered that she could never
have really missed him because she had
never really known him. Collingeford had
brought a fresh note into existence. She
felt that at the end of his week on the
Hill he had fled from her-fled from fall
ing in love with her She knew that he
would come back. How should she meet
him?
She was still debating the point when
Collingeford arrived in the city. Upon
arrival he called upon Mrs. j. Y. and then
on Nance and then, of course. on Alix.
AS she came into the room he felt n
strange fluttering in his throat. It stop
ped his words of greeting. He suffered
and stared. He had never felt so glad
at the sight of any one,
. What are you looking so dismayed
about?" cried Alix with n smile and hold

The darlty aoquesced. Together they
saddled the old horse and Bonifacio,
armed with long bamboo to prod the
fat steer mounted and cut out his charge
from the herd. Gerry accompanied him
TO the bridge You understand, blue rib
bon a roll of blue ribbon" he shouted.
The old darky nodded gravely and re-
peated, Yes, master a roll o. blue rib
bon. The mistress wishes roll Of blue
ribbon Til not forget"
The steer looked back from the desert
to the green of the pasture and lowed.
The darky prodded him with his stick.
The steer lowed again and then shambled
off down the trail. Horse and rider fol-
lowed slowly. Gerry watched them until
they were n mere patch of dust in the
distance; then he hurried back to the
house and sat down to wait again.
Night came and with It horror. The
ordeal was on in earnest now. Gerry
stopped his ears with his fingers and sat
doggedly on. Hours passed and BOni-
faCio returned He laid n little package
and some money beside his master He
unsaddled the old horse and turned him
into the pasture; then he came back, sat
down at Gerry's feet and slept. Gerry
looked with wonder on his nodding head.
He took his fingers from his ears. on
the instant high unearthly shrek
seemed to rend itself through flesh
through walls-and then tore on swift
wings into the vast silence that stretched
away into the night. The ear could trace
the eye could almost follow-the terri
Tying flight of this demon of sound as
1t hurtled out over the valley, over the
still trees and the black water, until it
crashed against the far banks OF the
river and died. Gerry dropped his face
in his hands and sobbed. A low moan
ing was coming from the house and then
new, strange sound-a sound that struck
straight at the hcart-the first wall of
the first born. The moaning caught on
that cry, stumbled and recovered into a
thin, weak laugh. Pain had passed and
with the child was born laughter.
Gerry sat stunned. 1t seemed incredi-
BILE That Shrek and then moaning and
laughter in one weak breath! Was pain

the terrible shrek still rang in his ears.

Gerry went in and knelt beside the bed
Margarita looked at him and smiled

Making Education Pleasure.

The chief inducement to study in
Shakespeare's day was a fiogging.
Tasks were set before the children and
they were not allowed to forget that
they were tasks. There was more
truth than bnrlesque in Dickens pic
iture of the Dotheboys hall. 1t is only
within the memory Of men now active
ly engaged in education that a new
spirit began to manifest itself in the
training of the young. Education is
made attractive because it has been
discovered that boys and girls learn
more rapidly when they are interested
than when they are driven. Effort is
now directed toward awakening the
imagination of the pupil. The door is
opened into the storehouse of the Won
ders of knowledge and the Importance
Of acquiring the ability to understand
something of them is impressed on the
growing minds.
