CHAPTER TX.
Father Starr Reads the Sims

And in the meanwhile, at the par
sonage, Fairy was patiently getting
breakfast. Prudence went out for
an early bicycle ride, so the members
wouldn't catch her." she explained to
the family. And she isn't back vet.
She'll probably stay out until after
noon, and then ride right by the gro
Gerry store where the Ladies have their
Saturday sale. That's Prudence, all
over. oh, father, l did forget your
eggs again, l am afraid they are too
hard. Here, twins, you carry in the
oatmeal, and we will eat. No use to
wait for Prudence, it would be like
waiting for the next comet"
Indeed, 1t was nearly noon when a
small, one-hOrse spring wagon drove
into the parsonage yard. Mr.. Starr
was in his study with a book, but he
heard a piercing Shrek from Connie,
and a shrill ''Prudence" from one of
the twins. He was downstairs in three
leaps, and rushing wildly out to the
little rickety wagon. And there was
Prudence!
Don't be frightened, father. I've
just sprained my ankle, and it doesn't
hurt hardly any. But the bicycle is
broken, and We'll have to pay for it.
You can use my own money IN the
bank. Poor Mr.. Davis had to walk all
the way to town, because there wasn't
any room for him in the wagon with
me lying down like this. Win you

Comics single bed was hastily
brought downstairs, and Prudence de-
posted upon it. There's no use to
put me upstairs" she assured them.
Il won't stay there. l want to be down

The doctor came in, and bandaged
the swollen purple ankle. Then they

I'm sure he's no tramp, father, if that
is what you are thinking"
am not thinking anything of the
kind, Prudence" he said with dignity.
But l do think it rather strange that
a young man should set out to walk
from Des Moines to Mount Mark. And
why should he be at it so early in the
morning? Doesn't he require sleep, as
the rest of us do?"

And when you go upstairs, Fairy, you'd
better bring down that little lace
spread in the bottom drawer of our
dresser. It'll look very nice on this
bed. Work hard. girls, and get every
thing looking fine. He'll be here at
four, he said. You twins may wear
your white dresses, and Connie must
put on her blue and wear her blue
bows. Fairy, do you think it would be
all right for you to wear your silk
dress? OF course, the silk is rather
grand for home, but you do look so
beautiful in it. Father, will you put
on your black suit, or are you too busy?

THESE SHOES WEAR rs YEARS
They Are Made of Grass and Are Still
Worn by Natives in Parts of
Portugal and Spain.

EspartO shoes, or shoes made of the
toughest and strongest of the coarse
espartO fibers, are still worn in Iberia
and parts of Portugal. There is no
shoe made which will outlast them, not
excepting leather shoes. Indeed, one
pair of esparto shoes has been known
to outwear a dozen tanned hide soles
This is due to their faculty of picking
up and retaining in their interstices
stony particles. AS fast as the pebbles
are worn out they are replaced auto
matically by others. Thus a self-soling
process is constantly going on. 1t is
not uncommon in some parts of Spain
or Portugal to hear the natives boast
of wearing a pair of esparto shoes for
% years or more.

In Constantinople.

"the epicure's most golden cornucopia,"

No sweets in Europe can compare

most Turkish dishes contain too much
sugar to prove agreeable to the aver

"Oh, two. Then I have plenty of
time" and in her own frank way, she
told the story.
'Then Mr.. Davis came along with
his cart" she concluded, "and Jerry

in, and the cart was so small they both
had to walk"

Honey in Jewish History.

The numerous references to honey
in the Bible are due to its being the
common sweetener of the people !;
and to this day the Jews, who are fine
old crusty conservatives, use honey in
cooking where other people use sugar.
Still, it had a certain distinction, and
was used as the symbol of fruitfuIness
and plenty. When Jeroboam's wife
wished TO propitiate the prophet she
took him ten loayes, two cakes and a
cruise of honey. When Jesus reap
peared TO his disciples they tested his
reality by giving him piece of broiled
fish and some honeycomb TO eat. AS
for John the Baptist. it is known TO all
that his common food consisted of
locuStS and wild honey.

~ kindlcd n martial spirit In Germany.
To my mind. the course which really
determined the Emperor and the ruling
class for war was the attitude or the
whole people in the Zahcrn affair and
their evident and growing dislike or
mililarism. The fact that the Social
Iste. at the close Of the session OF the
ReichstaE. boldly remained In the cham
Der and refused to rise or to cheer tho
name Of the Emperor indicated new
spirit Of resistance to autocracY. and
autocracy saw that If it WAS to keep Its
hold unon Germany it must lead the ma
ton into a short and successful war.
This Is no new trick Of ruling and
eristocrstic class From the days
when the patricians OF Rome forced the
pcople into war whenever the people
showed a disposition to demand their
rights autocracies have always turned
to war as the best antidote against the
spirit Of democracy.
