When we are going away from
home. no matter how happy we may
be facing the new journey, how good
the old place looks!
Do you remember when YOU were
boy-or a girl-and the old place
where you were born was sold and
the family were packing up to move
10 the city, how you felt it?
You and the other children wan
dered about the old place visiting
every tree, counting the currant
bushes. taking a last slide down the
hay NOW in the barn. and a last cere-
monial drink out of the tin dipper
at the Well
It seemed that the trees had never
been so green and so rustling in the
soft wind. that the hay had never
smelled so sweet, that the waters
from the well had never been so
cold and clear before.
The old horse poked his long head
out Of the stable window and look
ed unutterable things. The dog
chased round and round the garden.
and it seemed that no other garden,
and no other place could ever make
him so happy, and such a doggy dog
gy as he was there in his own home.
The little ones in the family were
happy. jumping on boxes and from
boxes. peering into barrels and
walking with more or less care over
the dishes that were spread out TO
be packed.
What a new look was taken on by
the furniture and rugs as they were
set out in the sunshine TO be Grated
or packed. Why, we never knew
before how faded the big armchair
had become. nor how shabby was the
mahogany bureau which had always
graced the best room.
Something will have to be done
to the old furniture when we get 20
the city" said the mother OF the
family-and it did seem as if there
must be a thorough renovation of
everything pertaining to the place
before you could ever become real
city folks.
And then there were the neighbors.
all kinds Of neighbors, but just now
they all seemed good. They looked
upon you with disapproval because
you were moving away from the
place where you had always lived.
and. what was more. from the place
where they had always lived.
The Last Good-Byes.
Even the cross old neighbor whose
rheumatism was his main interest
in life took on an aspect more soft
ened when you thought of leaving
him and his little brown house under
the Hill, where hollyhocks and mari
Colds blOssomed in great profusion.
but made no difference to him no
matter how right they were.
Poor old fellow" you said. after

Leaving the OldHome
By Winifred Black

all, he wasn't bad neighbor. When
Johnnie broke his arm, the old fell
low hitched up his horse and drove
miles for the doctor, without saying
a word about it,"
And there was the teacher of the
district school, you even had a good
word TO say for him. now that you
knew you were never going to see
him again. When he came up to say
goodbye and shook hands all around
with a hearty, unteacherly way, you
thought, well. there's some good in
him after all You couldn't quite
forgive him the grammar and alge-
bra lessons. but you were softened.
You wouldn't hurt him, you said. If
you could, and you hoped he'd live
a long while and get rich teaching
school, so that by the time he was
thirty he wouldn't have TO teach any
more.
Your mother had hard work to
keep frfom crying when the minister
and his wife drove up in the old
buggy and hitched the patient white
horse to the front gate In such a way
that you knew the good man was
thinking, This is the last time I'm
going TO call upon this family"
You couldn't even offer them a cup
of tea, for the dishes were all packed
and there wasn't any tea. You all
had to sit around on boxes that had
just been nailed up, and talked with
forced cheerfuIness during the half
hour of the minister's visit
You had thought you were going
TO be rather glad to get away from
our neighboring relatives. But now,
when good-natured aunts and uncles
came-every one bringing some little
gift for you TO carry away with you,
and more than one bringing some de-
licious thing for you TO eat-fOr NOV
ing is always hungry work, they said
you began TO see the sunny side of
even your relations, and the most
critical Of them looked at you more
approvingly than they had ever look
ed before, for you were going away
TO the city, and whether they should
ever see you gain or not no one
could know.
Through Mist.
And when you started away. all
packed in a Dig wagon on your way
TO the train, and looked back at the
old place, there was a kind of
misty cloud over everything. your
sisters openly wept, but you swal-
lowed the lump in your throat and
said to your father, I'm glad we're
going"
often and often you have looked.
in memory, back at the old place,
and always it has the same misty
look-the look that sometimes comes
when the tears are very near your
eyes.

SAYS ROOSEVELT WAS
LIKE GOOD SHEPHERD

At the Salvation Army evening
service yesterday. Capt. Brookes
used as his subject Dead. Yet
Speaketh." comparing Col. ROose-
welt with the shepherd who helps
the downtrodden but does not with
hold the lash of the whip when the
conditions demand.
Capt. Brookes said that death af-
fects mans individual thinking. rea-
soning and communicating faculties,
but does not destroy influence. hence
il may be said "he being dead yet
speaketh" as in the case OF Abel.
who was slain by his brother Cain.
In speaking of Roosevelt. Capt.
Brookes said there was no alarm
clock that aroused the people to
duty as did his pen and voice. "A
few strokes OF his pen stirred the
people like the sparks OF red hot
iron under the weight and quick
movement of steam hammer.
Death causes both pen and voice to
cease. but the silent influence of the
powerful outflow as a result of acts
of career will continue 10 speak and
stimulate rising generations" de-
clared the captain.

REVELATIONS OLA WIFE

DRY will forget that next morning
with its letter from Dicky.
There was one for my mother-in-
law. none for me. but 1 saw an en-
velope in Lillian's hand which 1 was
sure was from my husband. even
before had seen the shocked pallor
which spread over her face as she
read it.
oh. Lillian, what is it?" I whis-
pered in terror.
Wait" she commended Do not let
your mother-in-law guess anything
is amiss.'
But when Mother Graham's de-
mand TO know what Dicky had writ
ten to me had been appeased by Lii

mails were never reliable. and that

What is it. mother?" l asked. 1
asked nervously. It was late after
noon of the day in which Robert
Gordon had revealed his identity as
my father. and my nerves were still
tense from the shock of the discov-
cry.
Why. Richard has left the city.
He telephoned me just now that he
had an unexpected offer at an unusual
al sum 10 do some work in San Fran
cisco, I think he said, and that he
would be gone some months. If he
accepted the offer he would have no
time 10 come home. He said he
would write TO both of us tonight.
What do you suppose IL means?"
"I-do-not-know, returned slowly
and truthfully. but there was a ter
rible frightened feeling at my heart.

lessly. "Dicky has often spoken re-
Gently about this offer 10 go 10 San
Francisco. II was always tentative
before, but he knew that when it
did come, he would have 10 go in a
minutes notice. You know he al

The last part OF my little speech
was true Dicky did keep a bag
packed for the emergency summons
ne once in while received from his
clients. But I have never heard Of
the trip 10 San Francisco. Yet I
must reassure my mother-in-law in
some way.
Well. I think it's mighty queer. :"
she grumbled, going out OF the room.
You adorable little fibber." Lii
Ian said tenderly. rising, and COM

but I who knew its very intonation

Then" Lillian said musingly,

She stopped and looked at me
searchingly. "Or what, Lillian" I
pleaded. Tell me. 1 am strong
