Hours aftcrward the man of mcdi-
cine called me aside.

Somehow, all at once, her system

through it; she may go quietly and
without any pain. Yes, get them
here. Perhaps they will help her.
It's Il peculiar case. l don't under

But we who remembered Mary
Purse as she had come to work for
us in the long ago, we who remember
ed the love-match with poor Jack
Purse, we who remembered the young
mother with the wistful face who had
trundled babies past the Main Street
shop-windows, we who remembered
the one who had driven her husband
home that last night from Ezekial's
and two weeks later buried him; we
who remembered the mother in whose
face as she took up her cross smil-
ingly Sam had seen Jesus Christ, and
who had watched one by one those
she loved best on earth go down the
road and become lost to view by the
sumachs-we understood.
Aunt Mary had lived to realize that
all her labors and sacrifices had not
been in vain.
She had known the greater glory
the greatest glory.
And now she wanted to go and tell
the man she had lost back over the
years.

The day died us they sat there, jus
as it had died one springtimc years
and years before. Robins called fal
across the valley where the sun shont
in long slanting beams of gold. The
hush of New England peace was upor

and upon the woman's life.

Herbert said clumsily as in days Of
yore.
"You'll come again and see me
Herbert. That at least would be d
pleasant thing for both of us"
"Pcrhaps, Mary" he said. He
started to go. Then he came back
"And there was little black mare
MISUNDERSTANDING Washin'" he
said. "What ever became of Monday
Washin'?"
"She died of collie one night about
twelve years ago, Herbert. But she
had good home to the last"

much OF his old awkwardncss. THANK

"Perhaps, Mary. Goodbye"
Goodbye, Herbert"

She watched him shuttle across the
yard and out under the hoary old
naples. He went down the road and
then he also vanished where so much
in Mary's life had vanished-around
the bend in the road by the sumachs.
Around the bend in the road by
the sumachs, indeed!
Poor Herb! He went around the
bend by the sumachs and down the
simple country road. And some
where down near Smonds woods
because of the mental strain which
the visit had made upon him, because
OF tho rcawakcning of his mind, be-
cause, perhaps, of tho old associations
and all which they suddenly meant to
him again, something happened in
poor old Herbs head and he fell in
the road there and was found by old
man Dickinson, driving out from the
village later that night with the even
ing mail.
He was dead by the time that old
man Dickinson got him to DR.. John
sons.
All that night and the next day he
lay in Blake Whipplcs Undertaking
Parlors with no one to mournc for
him excepting u few poor old friends
who shortly will be lying in Blake
Whipplc's parlors themselves and
who scarcely recognized in him the
boy of the Long Ago-no one to care
only a frayed handful to come to
the funeral.
The men and women of the village
who had known him in the old days,
took up purse to dcfray the cxpcn-
scs of that simple service and he was
laid away beside his father and mo-
Their on the hill-with Jack Purse
sleeping through the years few
graves away under the briarbloom.

An abominably-written book you
say. The hero killed in the middle
and the heroine left to wander her
drcary way on to the last chapter
alone. And even toward the end,
when the man who might have mar
ricd her and completed the conven-
tional romance comes back, there too
comes another piece of poor plot con-
Struction-thcrc is no proposal worth
the name, no reunion and Giving hap
PLY ever after, no ending to the tam
gled ends of the skein of the char
actcrs' lives as we expect them to end
in books.
Well, perhaps so! Perhaps indeed
VIC have had enough of the sad things
of life. Let us rcgalc ourselves in
the last few chapters remaining to us
with some situations that arc tuned
in Il different key. For with the
passing of Herb Truman around the
bend in the road by the sumachs,
something else happens. A leaf was
turned just there in Mary's life.
The summer and autumn passed.
Then came an awful Vermont winter
when Sam made his maiden sister
80 and live with Aunt Mary Purse
TO sec that tho old house on Cobb
Hill saw no further tragedy. Spring
came in again with its weeks of al
tcrnatc slush and mud and pneumo-
MIA weather Then one day before the
mud was entirely dried or the first
green shoots began poking through the
fragrant sod, Sam at the exchange
table was, trying to think up subject
for.an editorial, paving idly amid the
mass of newspapers, free magazines,
political clap-trap and press material
which would later find it's way into
our wastcbaSkct. His hand struck a
long heavy periodical done in brown
paper. When he drew it forth he saw
it was addressed in a mans hand
writing and that it bore Il two-ccnt
stamp.
Suddenly the editors feet came
down with Il startled clump. He sat
holt upright. holding tho open maya
zine in his hands. Then he crossed
t,hc floor. uttered an exclamation as
he did so and laid the paper down on

 TRACES OF WAR
 It was mid-afternoon when General Storrs left to return to Jerusalem, Throughout the journey back, which takes slightly longer than the down trip, there were evidences that the country had lately been the scene of campaign ing by armies of an age centuries re- moved from Neby Musa. The bleak hill- sides were scorched with old camp fires, and there were evidences that some of the bridges were new and temporary, The Arabs with camels and donkeys who stepped to the side of the road to make way as we passed had looked not long ago on the spectacle of long lines of ar tillery, camels and men, choking the road night and day. Here, not many months ago, the moon shone down on men sing ing the songs of Scotland about their fires. whils field artillery rumbled softly in the distance and long lines of cam els were sllhouetted against the sky line
 A line of cameis moving along that ridge-top over there looks exactly like the little Noah's Ark camels you and I used to play with.
 Today, however. thousands of lorry loads of salvaged material, have gone up to Jerusalem to be sent down to Kantara on the Suez canal by rail. The country has been cleaned up so that few evidences of war remain. except an oc- casional bridge which has been newly repaired, a water reservoir built for the army and now dismantled. and the traces of camp fires

Turkish army did little damage to the Jericho road This is hardly compli- ment to the Turkish engineers, for '1e road could easily have been cut in sev- eral places. Mile after mile of it is blasted out of the mountain side, and banked up at the outer edge with stone, beyond which the hillside slopes steply away for hundred feet or more.
 As 1t stands today. the road is about 30 feet wide and with surface in very fair condition. When Palestine comes under a civilian administration, doubtless much work will be done on the road, but it has come out of the war in quite as good condition as any road in Palestine. No harm, it is needless to say, was done- to Neby Musa by the Turks. It stands today just as it has stood since the twelfth century, except that a sec ond story has been added to part of it by its owners, in order to afford greater accommodation for the pilgrims.

Old Fashioned Temperance

Leader of the little band of earnest women who knelt and prayed before the laborers of Hillsboro, Ohio, back in 1873, and thereby started the prohibition move ment in the United States, was Mrs. Eliza Jane Thompson. Hugh S. Fuller ton, whose recollections of those pioneer crusades appears in Everybody's, thus re- calls one of that ladys temperance lec- lures: There was nothing of scientific opposition to the liquor traffic in the movement at first; 1t was entirely moral and religious, and the women gave no thought either to the scientific or even to the political phase of the question until after the campaign had spread through out the country.
 Mother Thompson was delightfully."- unscientific even in later years. When we went to temperance rallies in the old crusade church, this wonderfully serene
