bers were among the forces hastily
assembled from all branches of the

If you think you dare not, you don't
If you like to win but think you can't
It's almost cinch you won't
II you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out of the world we find
Success begins with fellows will,
It's all in the state OF mind.
II you think you're outclassed you

You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure Of yourself be.

To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who win
Is the one who thinks he can.

up. 1 want a real family reunion just
for once, and it's my party, for start
ed it. So you must let me have 1t my
own way"
After the first confusion of welcom-
ing Prudence home, and making fun
of daddy Jerry" and testing the
weight and length of little Fairy, they
all settled down to parsonage home
gathering. Just few minutes before
the dinner hour, Fairy took her ia
theirs hand.
"COme into the limelight," she said
softly; 81 want you" He passed little
Fairy over to the outstretched arms Of
the nearest auntie, and allowed him
self to be led into the center of the
room.
Gene" said Fairy, and he came to
her quickly, holding out slender roll
of paper. "It's our license" said
Fairy. ave think we'd like to be
married now, father, If you WILL"
He looked at her questioningly, but
Understandings. The girls clustered
about them with eager outcries, half
protest, half encouragement.
"It's my day, you know cried Fairy,
"and this is my way"
She held out her hand, and Gene
took IL very tenderly in his. Mr.. Starr
looked at them gravely for a moment
and then In the gentle voice that the
parsonage girls insisted was his most
valuable ministerial asset, he gave his
second girl in marriage.
II surely was Fairy's way, plain and
sweet, without formallty. And the
dinner that followed was just happy
family dinner. Fairy's face was so
glowing with content. and Genes atti-
tude was so tender, and so ludicrOusly
proud. that the twins at last were con-
vinced that this was right, and all was
well.
But that evening, when Genes par
ents had gone away, and after Fairy
and Gene themselves had taken the
carriage TO the station for their little
vacation together. and Jerry and Pru-
dcnce were putting little Fairy to bed,
the three girls left i'm the home sat
drearily in their bedroom and talked
1t over.

Her arm pressed more closely about
his neck. Father" she whispered,
don't say that. We think you are
wonderfully splendid, just as you are.
1t isn't what you've said, not what
you've done for us, it's just because
you have always made us so sure of
you. We never had TO wonder about
father, or ask ourselves-we were sure.
We've always had you" She leaned
over and kissed him again. "Now we
understand each other, don't we?"
Il guess so. Anyhow, / understand
that there'll only be three daughters in
the parsonage pretty soon. All right,
Fairy. l know you will be happy" He
paused moment. $50 will l."
But the months passed, and Fairy
seemed content to stay quietly at home,
embrOidering as Prudence had done,
laughing at the twins as they tripped
gayly, riOtOusly through college. And
then in the early spring she sent an
urgent note to Prudence.
"YOu must come home for a few
days, Prue, you and Jerry. It's Just
because 1 want you and 1 need you,
and know you won't go back on me.

1t followed naturally that Prudence's
answer was satisfactory. "Of course
we'll come"
Fairy's plans were very simple.

Can Recite All Of Bible by Heart.

The most wonderful feat on record
has recently been accomplished by
William Frederick, a New York sales
man.
He has learned the entire Bible off
by heart. and can repeat any passage
In it from Genesis to Revelations and
state where it may be found. 1t has
taken him Is years.
A similar task was once undertaken
by an eighteenth-century strolling
player, about whom Sir William Rob
ertsOn NicOll has written. But he
gave in after IL years, by which time
he had succeeded i'm memorizing about
two-thrds OF the Old Testament.
