the remark.

Then, one soft evening In June, when
the stars were struggling through a
long pale twilight, he told her he loved
her.
"Eileen, dear, I love you" he said
suddenly. 81 can't let you 60 back to
New York. I can't let you 60 away
again, my white angel"
She drew away gently. "Lionel, we
must not talk Of love. 1t can't be. You
see, know your mother doesn't ap-

Syndicate.)
Eileen Wainwright, leaning back
YEARLY against the cretOnne-cOvered
back Of the piazza rocker, could not
help overhearing the conversation go
ing on just inside the club window.
At first the words had no meaning,
for her own thoughts were busy with
other things. Then she realized that
some one, an often referred to "she,"
was most unpopular with the cOnvers-
ers, and suddenly hearing her own
name mentioned she realized that she
herself was the subject Of this I'M
pleasant discourse.
It was Mrs. Langdon Merrill talking
to her sister, Mrs. Enoch Cuthbert,
about her son, Lionel Merrill and Eli
cen herself.
"Don't you see it all, Iennie?" said
because she's tired of nursing. You
know that's what both the Wainwright
girls did after their father lost his
mOney-trained for nurses. And as
she and Lionel had sort of boy and
girl affair, she thinks she'll take it up
now where they left off. I shouldn't
worry about it, only the girls a raw
ing, tearing beauty. She's got that
sort of ethereal look about her that
appeals to a man. And she knows
IT, you can gamble, and she's going to
play for big game. But she's not
going to marry Lionel Merrill if I
know anything, just when he was be-
ginning to take an interest in Mary
Evans-the very thing I've set my
heart on all my life. I don't know
what the Aberdeens meant by asking
her here! Why didn't she go to France,
where she's needed? I've no patience
with nurses who don't go to France"
There was more, but Eileen, decid-
ing she had heard enough, got up and
left.
Her indignation had cooled to
quiet amusement.
She joined the Aberdeens at the end
of the terrace, watching set Of ten
mis-.
'"Thirty-love," explained Jean Aber-
deem as Eileen came up. 'Iion Merrill
and Mary Evans are winning"
1t was the first time Eileen had seen
him for seven years, and she approved
of what she saw.
"Why didn't Lionel join the armyT
she asked Jean.
"Why" jeans eyes were indignant.
Because his mother wouldn't let him.
It's shame, when he wanted to 60 so.
The set over, Lionel came up to the
group on the terrace "It's little Eileen
back again" he said, taking her hand
and looking searchingly down into her
eyes. Sand she's come back very
beautiful lady-but it strikes me, sad
lady. Well have to have a few par
ties to brighten her up, see that"
Eileen laughed and shook her head

Ewes of Fishes.

Although there are few exceptions
to the rule, the eyes of fishes are in
tended to see beneath the water with,
and, as in the case of the eyes in all
animals, sight only becomes possible
to the eyes of diurnal animals when
there is light present. To be sure,
there may be fishes that are nocturnal
fishes, just as there are nocturnal
mammals and birds of various kinds;
but the majority of fish doubtless de-
pend upon the presence of light in Or
der to see or use their eyes. Where
the light is removed, and the removal
persists for an indefinite period, it has
such an effect upon the eyes of fishes
that some of their descendants may,
within comparatively short space Of
time, lose the sense of sight entirely.

SCOUTING MAKES GOOD MEN.

Attractive Tiled Roofs.

One of the most romantic touches
of old Spain and Mexico is transfer
red to southern California through
the medium of it's tile roofs ON the
better class of domestic work. The
work left by the old Franciscan
priests in their missions throughout
southern California and mostly done
by the Indians, who were good pot
ters and who became expert under
the direction Of the monks, is the
source of this new departure. 1t is
claimed that the variations in the
tile, making it possible for them to
fit together, was done over the calf
of an Indians leg, the wet clay
being nodded by that method and
then laid aside to dry. The charac
ter of these old tiles consists not
only in the rich red and reddish
brown tones in the clay or the tex
ture, a sort of semi-rough matt
glaze, but from the irregular, many

WHEN SCOUTS MISUSE AK.

The West side organization of the
Chicago local scout council has adopt
ed this regulation: mo scout Of this
jurisdiction shall carry an ak except
when his registered scoutmaster is

The mutilation OF trees in city parks
and on private property has been the
cause of much criticism directed at
the Boy Scouts of America. 1t can
only happen where the scout leader
ship overlooks the eagerness of the
new scout to try his ak on everything
in sight. Every scout should be made
to prove that he is a safe person to

When youth of Buffalo was invited
to his first formal dinner party his
mother advised him how to appear to
the best advantage and told him to say
something complimentary about the
food. The young man attempted to

soup was served he remarked:

TURKEY IS ACTIVE FORAGER
Fowl Must Have Plenty of Range and
Chance to Feed on Roughage-
Picks Up Own Food.

Turkeys are active foragers and
must have chance to roam and feed
on roughage at will. In so doing they
will pick up a greater part of their
food, which is far better for them than
that which is given them, and is OF
considerable value.
