BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

The Dwelling Place of Light: By
Winston Churchill (The Macmillan
Co., New York;.
America, dynamic, changing, di-
verse, with new laws and old desires.
new Industries and old social rights
new people and old-this is the en-
vironment in which Mr.. Churchill
places the heroine of his new book.
Janet, trong-charactered, fine, i'm
pulsive, yet thoughtful, understands
herself in part, but her environment
not at all. Her father is the old,
last, sad remnant of the Pilgrim
force that settled and sterilized New
England. She is the new and old
combined. The reader follows her
from her narrow tenement home 70
the factory office; into that volcanic
social eruption called an industrial
strike; to the country village quiet
of Silliston, where later she finds
comfort and joy. Mr.. Churchill has
never written a more entertaining
story; he has never written one that
is more significant in its interpreta-
ton of human relationships to-day.

The Road of Ambition: BY Elaine
Sterne (Britten Publishing Co., New
York;.
In the opinion of various capable
professional readers, THE Road Of
Ambition" is "a whale of a story"
having for a background the great
steel industry of the nation. The au-
thor made a study of it under con-
ditions that gave her talent full
chance to succeed. 1t was her mis-
sion to shape a big mans destiny
to build a story of the superman,
who, from small beginnings fights
his way from the bottom to the top.
Aspiration became the keynote, and
big Bill" Matthews steps forth from
the crucible of endeavor into the
highway of attainment.

the world is a mental disease. We
can't really do anything with any
human being, except perhaps to
MAIN his initiative and destroy his
one priceless possession-his belief
in himself. The only thing on earth
we can ever reform is ourselves.
I'VE can dig in our little garden
patch and still find plenty of weeds.
That stubborn ground will take all
the time and energy we've got for
it's cultivation. But it's a different
matter when we attemp to landscape
garden our neighbor's patch. In the
first place, it's trespassing and
against the law. In the second place,
our judgment Immediately becomes
confused, and we're apt to root up
all manner of rare and lovely
flowers under the impression that
they are weeds. And in the third
place, it's vulgar intrusion, the sin
of egotistical and insensitive
natures, who would thus dare to in
wade what Elizabeth Cady Stanton
once called the solitude of SELF
thing to Herbert; but my judgment.
such as it is, is the only little rush.

enough to follow it I am less than

land me in a ditch, but that tumble

anyone fancy that his rushlight
burns with a clearer flame than his

In her anxiety to get away she
lost her fear of what might happen
through travelling; at least, she did,
until there came a sudden grinding
or breaks, a shout of voices, a sud-
den crash, and then binding dark
ness.
When she came to herself she was
in great pain. Her arm was too
heavy to lift, and she argued calmly
to herself that it must be broken.
She tried to drag herself out of the
wreckage, but she grew faint in the
attempt and finely lay still.
In few minutes kind hands lift
ed her free and carried her over to
the grass where she lay with her
eyes upturned to the blue sky. Some
how a strange peace pervaded her.
Now that this horrid thing that she
had thought about for years had
actually happened to her, her dread
was somewhat gone. People were
groaning about her, and she pitied
them and did not think of herself.
Finally it was her turn to be look
ed over and she tainted as the kind
old doctor set her arm. When she
came to herself another face was

She looked understandingly up in

rheumatism is caused by millions
of tiny germs, which are entrenched
in the blood where they cannot be
reached by locally applied liniments
They must be literally routed and
forced out of the blood by a remedy

them to fight.
For more than fifty years s. S. s.
has been recognized as the most re-
liable blood remedy made. 1t goes
deep down into the blood cells, and
purifies and cleanses the circulation
of every trace of impurity. 1t is the

Monohan pivoted and, rushing,
swung right and left, missing by
inches. Fyfe's mocking grin seemed
to madden him completely. He
rushed again, launching another
vicious blow that threw him partly
or his balance. Before he could re-
cover Fyfe kicked both feet from
under him, sent him sprawling on
the moss.
Stella stood like one stricken. The
very thing she dreaded had come
about. Yet the manner of it's un-
folding was not as she had visualized
it when she saw F'yfe near at hand.
She saw now side of her husband
that she had never glimpsed, that
she found hard to understand. She
could have understood him beating
Monohan senseless, If he could. A
murderous fury of jealousy would
not have surprised her. This did.
He had not struck a blow, did not
attempt to strike.
She could not guess why, but she
saw that he was playing with Mono
han, making a fool of him, for all
Monohan's advantage of height and
reach. Fyfe moved like the light,
always beyond Monohan's vengeful
blows, slipping under those driving
fists to slap his adversary, to trip
him, mocking him with the futility
of his effort.
The elusive light footedness of the
man, the successive stinging of those
contemptuous slaps at last mad
dened Monohan into ignoring the
rules by which men fight. He
dropped his hands and stood pant
ing with his eXertions. Suddenly he
kicked, a swift lung for Fyfe's body.
Fyfe leaped aside; then he closed.
Powerful and weighty a man as
Monohan was, Fyfe drove him half
way around with a short arm blow
that landed near his heart and while
he staggered from that clamped one
thick arm about his neck in the
strangle hold. Holding him help
less, bent backward across his broad
chest, Fyfe slowly and systematically
choke dhim. He shut off his breath
until Monohan's tongue protruded
and his eyes bulged classify, and
horrible, gurgling noises issued from
his grasping mouth.
Jack, jack. Stella found voice
to shrek, you're killing him!"
F'yfe lifted his eyes to hers. The
horror he saw there may have stirred
him, or he may have considered his
object accomplished. Stella could
not tell. But he flung Monohan
from him with force that sent him
reelinG dozen feet. to collapse on
the moss. 1t took him a full minute
. to regain his breath, to rise to un-
steady feet, to find his voice.
You can't win all the time" he
gasped. Some day I'll show you
that you can't"
With that he turned and went
back the way he had come. Fyfe
stood silent, hands resting on his
hips, watching until Monohan pushed
out n slim speed launch from under
cover of overhanging adlers and set
off down the lake.
WELL" he remarked then in a
curiously detached, impersonal tone,

"the lightning will begin to play by
and by. l suppose"
What do you mean?" Stella
asked breathlessly.
He did not answer. His eyes
turned to her slowly. She saw now
that his face was white and rigid,
that the line of his lips drew harder
together as he looked at her, but
she was not prepared for the storm
that broke. She did not compre-
hend the tempest that ragged within
him until he had her by the shoul-
ders, his fingers crushing into her
soft flesh like the jaws of a trap,
shaking her as terrier might shake
a rat till the heavy coils of hair
cascaded over her shoulders, and for
a second fear tugged at her heart,
for she thought he meant to kill
her.
When he did desist he released
her with a thrust of his arms and
sent her staggering against a tree,
shaken to the roots of her being
though not with fear. Anger had
displaced that. A hot protest against
his brute strength, against his pas
sionate outbreak, stirred her. APP
pearances were against her, she
knew. Even So SIle rev NOlISu dSdlliSI
his cave man roughness. She was
amazed to find herself longing for
the power to strike him.
She faced him, trembling, leaning
against the tree trunk, staring at
him in impotent rage. And the fire
died out of his eyes as she looked. He
drew a deep breath or two and
turned away to pick up his rifle.
When he faced about with that in
his hand the old mask of immo-
bility was in place. He waited while
Stella gathered up her scattered
hairpins and made shift to coil her
hair into a semblance of order; then
he said gently:
II won't break out like that again.
"Once is enough"
More than enough for me-" he
answered.
She disdained reply. Striking off
along the path that ran to the camp,
she walked rapidly, choking a ris-
ing flood of desperate thought.
With growing GOODNESS paradoxically
there burned hotter the flame of an
elemental wrath. What right had
he to lay hands on her? Her shoul-
ders ached; her flesh was bruised
from the terrible grip of his fingers.
The very sound of his footsteps be-
hind her was maddening. To be sus-
pected and watched, to be continu-
ally the target of Jealous fury-no,
| a thousand times no! She wheeled
on him at last.
II can't stand this!" she cried.

Food Saving Lesson

Every pound of vegetables prop
erly put by for future use, every jar
of fruit preserved, adds that much to
our insurance of victory.-President
Wilson.
Fall garden lesnlng is as impor-
tant in its way as housekeeping in
the spring, says tc-Hay's bulletin of
den Commission, which is offering
$1,000 for the best canned vege-
tables grown in war gardens. Gar
den cleanliness in the fall will often
do much toward insur'ug healthiness
OF plants during the next growing
season. The foliage and branches of
plants which have been attacked by
disease or badly infested by insect
pests should be cleaned up and
burned.
If it is possible or desirable to clear
away plants from some portions of
the garden before frost. such areas
may we'll be sown to rye as a cover
crop, the growth to be turned under
in early spring. The patches of green
will give the otherwise bare garden a
cleanly and more cheerful appear
ance during the winter.
Cleaning Is most needed after frost.
When animal plants have been
nipped, those that may hagbor dis
case or insect pests should be cut
down or dug up and burned. If the
soft-leaved plants which will not
easily burn are free from disease
and insects they may be turned under
at this time.
The fall is the time aso to cut
down asparagus bushes. This should
be done after the foliage dies. The
ola canes of black raspberries and
other bush fruits also should be cut
out at this time if not previously
done. If there is reason TO believe
that the trimmings harbor disease
spores or insects, they should be
burned. Rhubarb leaves should be
removed in late fall and the crowns

There was once a girl who was
afraid to be happy. She had every
thing in the world to make her the
happiest of mortals, but she was
never contented because she was
afraid to be so. Her argument was
always suppose"
She would hear of a horrible acci-
dent and she would say: Suppose
it had happened to me-" She would
hear of n case of illness, and she
would be sure that she was coming
down with that very thing imme-
diately.
She never went away on a trip
without wondering whether or not
the train was not going to run into
something, or whether she herself
might not have an accident. 1t was
really a very fretful existence and it
was no wonder that the girl was not
happy.
Once someone who had cared
about her very much-and it was a
man at that-had suggested fatalism
to her. 1t wasn't that he was much
of a fatalist himself, but he thought
of it as rather a good thing for the
girl.
Whatever is going to happen will
happen, and nothing that you can do
will make any difference" he would
argue.
But things can do are bound to
make difference" she would reply.
Perhaps they will, in a sense. The
things we decide for ourselves are
bound to make a difference, but what
l mean is that if you are to die you
will die, no matter what decision
you make against it. Certainly
worry is not going to help"
You mean" said the girl, that
if l married you, for instance. and
it was meant that I should die,
should die just the same, whether
l married you or not?"
He nodded.
said sadly.
You could If only you would
make up your mind to it," he as
sured her.
But she had never been convinced
and because she had been afraid to
go with him, to take a chance on
his making a success of his life with
the little material he possessed,
they had drifted apart.
"I'll believe you" she had said,
'if we are really meant for each
other For if we are, something will
happen to convince me-"
But he had been bitter, and had
left her angrily, with no thought of
ever seeking her out again.
Perhaps there is such a thing as
Fate which guides our footsteps
and our doing, or perhaps a higher
being thought that our heroine was
worth while convincing. Anyway,
she who had been afraid of running
into danger, ran into 1T, while taking
what she thought the safest course.
She had really cared for the man
but she was sure that she. would for
get if she could get away from her
surroundings and out into new fields
And so she went on a visit to her
sister out West, and actually felt al
most happy as she looked out of the
