Phil had affected childlike timidity
as well as simplicity. Though she had
taken prizes in swimming contests. she

her to the shore and charged Egbert

she was performing the principal part.
immensely and begged Egbert to teach
her how to swim, keeping him busy
giving her instructions. - -
But this kind OF bathing did not suit
Phil at all. She longed to take a
header off the dock twenty feet above
the water. One morning about day
break getting out of bed she donned
her bathing dress and stealthily stole

Miss Farnsworth had awakened early
and was tossing about in her bed.
Thinking that to stir about her room

after returning to bed, she got up and
walked the floor CHANGING out through
a window, she saw Phil in bathing

ed in it. There are few items in a
newspaper that come closer home to
our daily life than an announcement
that a merchant has lot Of goods
which he can offer at an unusually low
price. 4..' --s... Ias. j..
When you get a lot of people to
reading about store and what 1t is
doing and offering, the same people
will soon be seen visiting that store.
The desire is so keen to avoid the high

mics attracts a crowd.
A store that advertises bargains i'm.

the advertised store is the we'll filled

store that does big business. 49,
PRACTICAL EDUCATION
Many people who admit the value
of technical instruction and training
in hand work, say that it is not prac-
teal to introduce it. They feel the
school courses are so crowded with
subjects that there is no time to take
on new branches. Also the expense
would be too great. s..s..
Yet if we can turn out body Of
young men who by reason of higher
standards of mechanical work and
skill, can turn out larger product in
our factories, it is very poor policy to
deny them the equipment and the spe.
cial teachers they need.'
The great trouble with our mechanl-
cal production is that the mass of the
work people are satisfied with very
ordinary and mediocre grades of
work The man who can be spurred
on to think about his work, to study
the materials he handles, to learn the
very best way OF working those ma
terials, and to learn never to be salts
fed until he has turned out a perfect
product in a minimum of time and ef-
fort, that man is going to turn out a
product twice as valuable as the aver
age mechanic. If our factories can
be filled with that kind of mechanics
their production will be doubled In
value.
Ideas of this kind are best impaired
in schools, when people are young,
and their life habits are more easily
formed
This kind Of work needs of course
instruction from competent technical
teachers who have ideals of craftsman
ship and can teach boys how to &C.
quire a high range OF mechanical
skill.
But it need not be so expensive as
some people think. One teacher in
the manual and mechanical arts can
cover a considerab BILE group of schools
and single set of equipment can be
used for boys from large number Of
schools. In country districts one such
teacher could supervise manual train
ing for the schools Of a number of
towns. ..

Phil Webster
BY HAROLD JOY

Phillis Webster as little girl was q
tomboy. At fourteen she was pretty
as picture, and at seventeen she was
prettier still. But If she outgrew some
Of her tomboy practices she retained
tae tomboy spirit.
In some families all letters that come
to the house are considered lawful
prey by any member and opened nj
will. One day letter came for Phillis'
brother Jack from Florida. Jack be-
ing away at the time, Phillis opened
the missive. 1t was from his friend,
Egbert Farms worth, who was running
an orange plantation in Florida, urg-
ing Jack to make him visit. Farms
worth said that he was without asso-
ciates, having only an aunt with him
who kept house for him, and he wished
Jack would come down and make him
q visit.
Phillis was seized with a desire to
leave the rigorous northern winter for
the genial southern climate. If she
were only man instead Of girl she
would ,contrive, If possible, to have
Jacks invitation transferred to herself.
AS it was, she wrote Mr.. Farnsworth
that Jack was not at home and would
not be able to accept his kind invita-
tion.
Phillis wrote a hand that might cas-
lily be mistaken for mans and signed
herself s'Phil Webster" BY return
mail she received a reply from Farms
worth extending the invitation to Phil.
This was terrible temptation for
PhNlis. So far as propriety was con-
cerned, Farnsworth's aunt being with
him, Phil might visit the plantation,
though It would not be exactly the
thing for girl Of q retiring disposi.
ton to do.
Phil struggled with herself for some
time, then gave way.
When Egbert Farnsworth went to
the station and pretty girl accosted
him, saying that she was Phil Farms
worth, he could have been knocked
over with a feather. Phil pretended
not to notice his surprise, but apollo
gized for making the visit, saying that,
her father and brother being both
away and she being very lonely, be.
sides, the winter being very cold and,
knowing that he had an aunt with him
for chaperon, she had not the courage
to refuse an invitation from her broth
er's most intimate friend.
Egbert was tickled to death at hav.
ing girl visitor and took her home to
bis aunt, whom he instructed to as
sumo the direction Of her movements,
as If Phil were her daughter. Phil ap,
peared as unsophishcated as country

their guest. Miss Farnsworth argued
that they would be blamed by Phil's
family for harboring her and advocat-
ed her being sent home at once. Egg
hart pleaded for delay, saying he had
a plan that would obviate all danger.
Miss Farnsworth was persuaded, and
Phil was permitted to remain awhile
longer. But Egbest informed her that
her. game Of chn:ile simplicity was
played out.
Egbert's plan was to take her home
as his iancee. This he did, and 1t
served to protect her from severe
reception. They We're all glad to get
