AND IVES SAWED WOOD

Yves Whittle, teamster down in
Lowell, ARK, was so patriotic dur
ing the fall of 1918, before the Hun
was finally vanquished, that he put
a mortgage on his team and wagon
for $50 and bought War Savings
Stamps in his desire to do his duty
by the government. Some thought
Yves was doing more than his finan-
cial strength warranted. But he just
went down in the woods, cut up fuel
and sold it in the Lowell market, and
the mortgage was soon lifted. Now
Yves is buying more stamps, because
he realizes their value and finds he
can save.

quite so thick near the floor. Feel

crept along from room to room until
at last he heard little girl crying.
'Don't cry, little girl" he cried,
'I'll take you out all right" Then he
wrapped big blanket around her so
that she was safe from the flames,
and carried her in his arms back to
the window. When the crowd that
had gathered saw him bringing his
little burden down the ladder, they
cheered and cheered.

ANOTHER M. c. RHYME

Sing a song of Saving Stamps,
A pocket full of fves,
Soon grow to an hundred
And how the account thrives!
The king was in his counting house
Counting out his money;
That's the way the old rhyme ran,
Doesn't it seem funny9
A counting house is the last place,
Gas everybody knows),
Where one should keep his money,
AS there it never grows.
And every man nowaday is king
Except the buns and tramps
For they're the only people now
Who don't count Savings Stamps.
Each man goes to his safety box
Once every little while,
And puts in a new Savings Stamp
To swell his growing. pile.

Nancy Bryant's father was a fire

long with Mother and Nancy because
he had to spend so much time at the

he was able to get away, and after
supper Nancy said:

bow was stiff and uncordial, and he
made no movement to offer his hand.

dies at Peak Hall, madam" he said.
Il am afraid that you will find US
somewhat unprepared for guests"
Il ask for nothing more than a roof, /"
Louise assured him.
John threw his hat and whip upon
the round table and stood in the center
of the stone floor. She caught a
glance which flashed between the two
.men-of appeal from the one, of icy
resentment from the other.
1--WE can at least add to the roof a
bed and some supper-and a welcome,
John declared. rs that not so, Ste
phen?"
The older man turned deliberately
away. 1t was as if he had not heard
his brothers words.
Il will go and find jennings" he
said. HE must be told about the serv.
ants"
Louise watched the disappearing fig.
ure until it was out of sight. Then she
looked up into the face of the younger
man, who was standing by her side.
Il am sorry" she murmured apollo
getically. Il am afraid that your
brother is not pleased at this sudden
intrusion. Really, we shall give you
very little trouble"
He answered her with q sudden
eager enthusiasm. He seemed far more
natural then than at any time since he
had ridden up from out of the shad'
ows to take his place in her life.
Il won't apologize for Stephen" he
said. HE is a little crotchety. You
must please be kind and not notice
You must let me, if 1 can. offer you
welcome enough for us both"

There have been some of our race who
have been tempted into the iowlands
and the cities. Not one of them
brought honor upon our name. Their
pictures are not here. They are not
worthy to be here"
Stephen set down the candlesticks
and returned to his place. Louise, with
her hands clasped behind her back,
glanced toward John, who still stood
by her side.
Tell me-" she asked him, shave
none of your people who went out into
the world done well for themselyesT'
Scarcely one" he admitted
Not one" Stephen interrupted.
Madam" he went on, turning toward
Louise, 'Iest my welcome to you this
evening should have seemed inhospita-
bic, let me tell you this: Every
Strangewey who has left our county,
and trodden the downward path Of
failure, has done so at the Instance of
one of your sex. That is why those OF
US who inherit the family spirit look
askance upon all strange women. That
is why no woman is ever welcome with
in this house"
Louise resumed her seat in the easy
chair.
Il am so sorry" she murmured,
looking down at her slipper. Il could
not help breaking down here, could IL"
'Nor could my brother fail to offer
you the hospitality of this roof" Ste
phen admitted. 1.-THE incident was IN

He rose TO his feet The door had
opened. Jennings was standing there
with candIestick upon a massive sill

You are doubtless fatigued by your
journey, madam" Stephen concluded.
Louise made little grimace, but she
rose at once to her feet. She under
stood quite well that she was being
sent to bed, and she shivered a little
when she looked at the hour-barely
ten o'clock. Yet it was all in keeping.
From the doorway she looked back in
TO the room, in which nothing seemed
to have been touched for centuries.
She stood upon the threshold to bid her
final goodnight, fully conscious of the
complete anachronism of her presence
there.
Her smile for Stephen was respectful
and full OF dignity. As she glanced to-
ward John, however. something
flashed in her eyes and quiyered at the
corners of her lips, something which
escaped her control. something which
made him grip for a moment the back
of the chair against which he stood

John Strangewey ushered his com
panion into the square, oak-paneled
hall, hung with many trophies of the
chase, a few oil-paintings, here and
there some sporting prints. It was
lighted only with single lamp which
stood upon round, polished table in
the center of the white-f1agged floor.
"This lady's motor-car has broken
down, Stephen" John explained, turn
ing a little nervously toward his broth
er. Il found them in the road, just
at the bottom of the hill. She and her
servants will spend the night here. I
have explained that there is no village
or inn for good many miles"
Louise turned graciously toward the
elder man, who was standing grimly
apart. Even in those few seconds, her
quick sensibilities warned her of the

CHAPTER 1.

Louise was leaning back among the
cushions of the motionless car. The
moon had not yet risen, but faint and
luminous glow, spreading like halo
about the topmost peak of the ragged
line of hills, heralded it's approach.
Her eyes swept the hillsides, vainly
yet without curiosity, for any sign of a
human dwelling. Her chauffeur and
her maid stood talking heatedly to-
gether near the radiator.
Louise leaned forward and called to
the chauffeur.
Charles" she asked, what has hap
pened? Are we really stranded hereY'
The mans head emerged from the
bonnet. He came round to the side of
the car.

"And leave us here alone?" Aline ey-
claimed Indignantly.
Her mistress smiled at her reassur-
ingly.
what have we to fear, you foolish
girl? For myself, would like better
than anything to remain here until the
moon comes over the top of that round
hill. But listen There is no neces-
sity for Charles to leave u.s."
They all turned their heads. From
some distance behind there came,
family at first, but more distinctly
every moment, the sound of horses
hoofs. Louder and louder came the
sound. Louise gave little cry as q
man on horseback appeared in sight
at the crest of the hill. The narrow
strip of road seemed suddenly dwarfed
an unreasonable portion of the horizon
blotted out. In the half light there
was something almost awesome in the
unusual size of the horse and of the
man who rode it.

the maid replied, with matter-of-fact
little sigh CT content.
A few moments later horse and rider
were beside the car.
HAS anything happened?" the new
conner asked, dismounting and raising
his whip to his cap.
Il have broken down." Louise said
"Please tell us what you would advise
us to do. Is there a village near, OF
an inn, or even a barn? Or shall we
have to spend the night in the carr"

CHAPTER II.

Louise, with a heavy, silyer-plated
candlestick in her hand. stood upon the
uneven floor of the bedroom to which
she had been conducted, looking up at
the oak-framed family tree which hung
above the broad chimney-piece. She
examined the coat of arms emblazoned
in the corner, and peered curiously at
the last neatly printed addition. which
indicated Stephen and John Strange
wey as the sole survivors of dimin-
ishing line. When at last she turned
away, she found the name upon her
lips.
"Strangewey !" she murmured. "John
Strangewey 1t is really curious how
that name brings with it a sense of
familiarity. 1t is so unusual, too. And
what an unusual-looklng person! Do
you think, Aline, that you ever saw
anyone so superbly handsome?"
The maids little grimace was ex-
presSive.
Never. madam" she replied. "And
