Smith was still facing the window
when he replied. I'm sorry to have

she choose, would be good and

The eX-cowboy mine owner drew a
long breath and felt for his tobacco

Smiths laugh was strictly per-

A week passes. The Prodigals

patch fades as his hands blister
and his soft muscles ache under the
unaccustomed toll. His former lazy,
vagabond life looms pleasant to him
in retrospect, and laying aside the

The Prodigal feels himself at a

from confessing to this merciless
critic that it is for physical reasons.
Instead, in the effort to defend him

persons who can never see the end
OF play or read the finish of a
story without asking like the chill
dren: What happened them"
Some people-Cousin Maria, for
instance-can watch movie with
absorbing interest down to the last
fading view of the hero and hero

faith that those two sorely tried
souls lived happy ever afterward. :"
But when one is cursed with the
gift of imagination. and has, more
over, some experience with the re-
current difficulties and troubles of
life, ones placid acceptance of that
final scene is apt to be punched as
full of holes as the little flash of
unpictured film-that Swiss cheese
effect-which actually ends the
reel.
Thackeray, who was bothered in
the same way, says plaintively: "Is
1t fair to suppose that two people

more than thirty and the heroine

joys and griefs of life go on after
as before the nuptial CEREMONY"
The truth of the matter is that
for every novel, or play, or narra-

there must be a sequel; for life it

There is no bathing suit

a good combination for there

matter how many materials
are made for salt water use,
repeated wettings followed by
exposure to the sun will have

off my gown, 1 put on a thin and
loose negligee and sat down by the

On the horizon the heat lightning
flashed frequently; the sounds of
thunder, perhaps a little louder
than before, were still far away. Un-
less the wind got under those heap
ed-up clouds in thewest we would
scarcely have shower tonight.
And if we did not the oppressive
heat would continue.
Every Movement Audible
In the intense quiet 1 could hear
every momevent in the house. Mr..
Norton came upstairs to his room
and shut his door. Evidently he
had no idea of taking an auto ride
alone. Ten minutes later l heard
Tom go toward the wing in which
he and Hugh Parker slept. Hugh
was with him, of course, but he
walked much more lightly than
Tom, and the boys heavy foot
steps quite downed the tutors light
er tread.
The door leading to the wing
closed. Then all was quiet again,
with the ominous and brooding still
ness of the country before the arrival
of a storm that has been a long time
coming.
Sitting by the window 1 rested
my head against the cushions on
my chairback, and closed my eyes.

Use" to marry him.
What a foolish and inconsequent
promise that had been! Yet he had
accepted it. He had even said that
he knew l was not the kind of girl
to break it.
A sense of suffocation almost
overwhelmed me. 1 sprang to my
feet and look at my watch on my
dressing table. Only a quarter be-
fore. ten! The whole night was be-
fore me. And l was sure 1 would
not be able to sleep.
My room was hot. All the mem
bers of the household were in bed
and slumbering by now. Down on
the Veranda it would be cooler than
up here. 1 would steal down and
sit outside in the darkness until l
was cool and drowsy.

right by me, he'd have given me

had experience with pigs. But no;
he makes me a hired hand under
you, and wants me to slave here at
job l don't like for my mere board
and keep. Thank you all for moth
ing. I'd rather be on the road any
+ old day."
And in his petulant anger he filings
himself off again to renew his wan
derings.
The Elder Brother goes back to
the house to report his departure.
Il knew about how it would be all
the time" he says with scarcely SUBJ
dued satisfaction. HE is absolutely
lacking in gratitude. He doesn't ap-
preciate single thing of all that we
have done for him."
And the old father. bowling his
head into his hands, sadly voices

But like a good many others of us
he could not bear to be taunted with
his obligation.
We all of us rejoice in the op-

show what we consider a proper
appreciation of our efforts. 1t is
only human nature to give such q
person piece of ones mind"
when the opportunity offers to re-
count in detail the things we have
done for him.
Yet nothing so quickly rouses
resentment, or wipes out the warm
glow of gratitude which that per-
son may feel and be only too de-
sirous to show. A man may call
another a liar and the other will
feel perfectly satisfied with knock
ing him down. You may cheat or
defraud him, and he will make it up
with you. But taunt him with bene-
fits forgot, and he will not only never
forgive you, but will invariably seek
to belittle the obligation he is under.
It's wise thing to keep to your
self the list of your benefactions.

profitably be amended to read: And
he gives best, who gives and never
