many prayers went up from Carols

parent complacence, but careful to
watch closely for the effect of this
statement. 1t gratified him, too, much
as he had expected. The girls stood
stock-st.ll and gazed Mt him, and then,
with a violent struggle for self-com-

Mr.. Starts new position necessitated
long and frequent absences from home,
and that was a drawback to the family
comradeship. But the girls pride in
his advancement was so colossal, and

dignity of the eldership was so deep
seated, that affairs ran on quite Sc
renely in the new home.
One day this beautiful serenity was

way. Carol looked up from "De Senec-

relieving yawn. Then she looked at her
aunt, asleep on the couch. She looked

feathers on the skeletons of birds in
her biology text. She looked at Con-
ME, sitting upright in her chair, small
book close to her face, alert, absorbed,
oblivious TO the world. Connie was
wide awake, and Carol resented it.

asked reproachfully.
Connie looked up, startled, and col
ored little. "Oh-poetry," she STAN

Carol was surprised. Poetry" she
echoed. Poetry? What kind of

Connie answered evaslvely. "It is

Carol had firmly convinced herself that
she was bringing Connie up-a belief
which afforded lively amusement to
self-conducting Connie.
"Why, it's The Rubaiyat.' It's"
"The Rubaiyatp" Carol frowned.
Lark looked up from the skeletons

iron as the red blood corpuscles con.

The iron in wheat. for instance. is
chiefly discarded with the screenings

They are fully aware that the blood
