A Party and-My Fourth PerlI9

 It was a rainy Sunday. In the middle of the afternoon Uncle Pea body and had set out in our spring buggy with the family umbrella-a faded but sacred implement always carefully dried, after using, and hung in the clothes press. We were drenched to the skin in spite of the umbrella. It was still raining when we arrived at the familiar door In fishery lane. Uncle Peabody wouldn't stop. He hurried away. We pioneers rare ly stopped or even turned out for the weather.
 Come in," said the voice of the schoolmaster at the door. There's good weather under this roof"
 He saw my plight as l entered.

 He took me into his room and brought some handsome, soft clothes out of a press with shirt, socks and boots to match.
 'There, my laddie buck" said he put them on."
 ''These will soon dry on me," sald

 We went below and the table was very grand with its great frosted cake and its candles, in shiny brass sticks and it's jellies and preserves with the gleam of polished pewter among them. Mrs. Racket and all the children, save Ruth, were waiting for us in the din- ing room.
 "Now sit down here, all O ye, with Michael Henry" said the schoolmas- ter. "The little lady will be impatient. I'll go and get her and God help us to make her remember the day" .-
 He was gone a moment, only, when he came back with Ruth in lovely white dress and slippers and gay with ribbons, and the silver beads of Mary on her neck. We clapped our hands and cheered and, In the excitement of the moment, John tipped over his drinking glass and shattered 1t on the floor. ..
 Never mind, my brave lad--no glass ever perished in a better cause. God bless you" -- -.- .-r
 We ate and tested and talked, and the sound of our laughter drowned the cry of the wind In the chimney and the drumming of the rain upon the windows. ' >.

policy won. There are certain people
who seem to forget what the fight
for the last five years has been about.
1T was for right. not might, and
for fair play in the widest sense.
There Is new spirit. both in public
and in private life, which is strug-
Cling through. Ey this | mean the
spirit of citizenship and service which
was brought out by the war.
Il don't mean that we have got all
that is best in government, but I do
believe that a government which says,
Let us all unite together for the ma
tional good has a better spirit than
the old Liberal party that saws Let
us get back to party lines or the
Socialists. who are trying to divide
the world into classes"

he died.
Murderer Not Taken.
The Wallace case'is peculiarly bru-
tai. He was killed by a Carranzista
soldier. and apparently was given not
the slightest chance for his life. This
is the departments Official announce

James Wallace. an American en-
ploye of an oil company near Tam

The murderer has not been taken
into custody. According to the de-

The death of Lund was not an
