And don't think me an infidel. i be-

She ran back down the overgrown
path to the camp with his words ring
ing in her ears and a guilty load on
her conscience. But the secret of the
other campers was as safe with her as
with Wah-tOnah, and when she coaxed
Dell to take long hike with her she
never betrayed the plan Stanley had
laid out. He was to bring Halbert half
way round the lake, up to the rocky
point where the pines were and leave
him there to rest just when Dell would
find her way up the narrow trail.
The two conspirators waited down
at the base of the cliff. They had
known each other now for two whole
weeks, and when Dell and Mrs. Cam
eron had marveed at the fish Beth
caught she only smiled happily. There
was too much at stake to give the Sc
cret away.

Our Appointed Place.

That girl who values her peace of
mind will, instead of indulging In use
less regrets, wisely resolve to adjust
herself TO circumstances Everyone
of us can, if we so decree it, either les
sen or make heavier our respective
burdens. Therefore, how foolish to
waste time in senseless longing or to
feel that all our days shall be color
less. The big position we sigh after
may be greater than our talents or our
ability. Indeed, if some wonderful
fairy suddenly placed us in it the
chances are that we would not only
prove sad misfit, but would soon be-
come downright miserable. True, the
world offers big prizes to the person
whose genius shines out from her as
sociates. but not all recognized or
successful women are happy. If we
are practical and hope to find content
ment we will certainly give idle wish
ing wide berth. We belong to our
own sphere-not TO any other lndIvfd-
uafs and we will spend our ener-
gies on making the best of ourselves
in our own appointed places.-Chica-

Concerning Box Wood.

The manufacturing of boxes and
crates in the United States consumes
one-tenth of our output of lumber
every year. In some cases, says the
American Forestry Magazine. the odor
of a wood adds to the value of the ar
ticle shipped in the package. Cigars
in Spanish cedar boxes furnish an ex-
ample. 1t is widely believed that but
ter is better if it touches no wood ex-
cept ash, and similar belief prevails
regarding tea, which. it is said, should
be shipped and Kept in the Chinese
wood in which the orientais pack it. The
notion in regard to the tea might lose
some of its popularity if it were gen.
orally known that the wood of which
the tea boxes are made did not grow
nearer China than several thousand
miles. Some of it comes from Rus
STA. The Chinese paste paper over the
boxes, stamp them with Chinese char
acters, and fill them with tea for for
eign markets.

"POKER FACE" HAS ITS USE
Ability to Hide Emotion viii Ere
quently be Found of Value in
Game of Life.

Princeton is about TO send l16 grad
yates out into the world. Some of
them are whimsical young fellows, as
would appear by the way they filled out
Uuestionnaires which asked them,
among other things what of most value
had been received by them in their col
lege course. One reflective senior
avowed unblushingly that it was his
allowance" For others, Cheeks" "a
poker face" "the art of bluffing,"
'Iearning how TO loaf scientifically"
were their acquisitions of highest
worth.
The value of no one of these can
be gainsaid, for most lives bring emer-
gencies when any one of them may
be of the highest use. There are
some who may be skeptical of the adj
vantages of the poker face" Yet who
can doubt the value on occasion OF
poised. impassive, imperturbable coun-
tenance which gives no slightest mint
of the hopes and fears it masks.
A physiognomy under complete con-
troll is almost essential TO diplomat,
and this ability to hide emotions be-
hind a changeless exterior goes far
TO give the Japanese ENJOYS the repu-
tation of being the best poised states
men. Countenances which light up
with emotion are more attractive.
Wooden faces are never winning in the
usual acceptation of the word. But
they are the winning faces in two at
least of the exciting games of life, d.
