of 6ims f." and no young gentleman
in the would was more loath than
George Am erson Minafer to look a
figure Of fun And while he stood
there, undeniably such a figure, with
jamie and Mary Sharon threatening to
burst at any moment, If laughter were
longer denied them, Lucy sat looking
at him with her eyebrows delicately
lifted in casual, polite inquiry. Her
own complete composure was what
most CALLED him.
Nothing Of the slightest impor-
tancew he managed to say. Il was
just leaving. GoOd-afternoon And
with long strides he reached the door
and fastened through the hall; but
before he closed the door he henrd
from jamie and Mary Sharon the out
burst Of wild, irrepressible emotion
which his performance had inspired.
He drove home in tumultuous
mood. and almost ran down two ladies'
who were engaged in absorbing con-
versation at a crossing. They were
his Aunt Fanny and Mrs. Johnson; q
jerk of the relns at the last instant
saved them by few inches; but their
conversation was so interesting thai
hey were unaware Of their uauguL
and did not notice the runabout, nor
how close it came to them.
He drove into the Majors stable too
fast, the sagacious PendenniS saving
himself from going through partition
by swerve which splintered shaft
of the runabout and almost threw the
driver to the floor. George swore, and
then swore again at the fat old darkey,
Tom, for giggling at his swearing.
He strobe from the stable, crossed
the Majors back yard, then passed
behind the new houses, on his way
home. These structures were now ap-
preaching completion, but still in a
state Of rawness hideous to George
though, for that matter, they were
never to be anything except hideous
to him.
In this temper he emerged from be-
hind the house nearest his own and,
glancing toward the street, saw his
mother standing with Eugene Morgan
upon the cement path that led to the
front gate. She was bareheaded anG
Eugene held his hat and stick in his
hand; evidently he had been calling
upon her, and she had come from the
house with him, continuing their con-
versation and delaying their parting.
George stared at them. A hot dis
like struck him at the sight OF Eu-
gene; and vague revulsion, like
strange, unpleasant taste in his mouth,
came over him as he looked at his
mother; her manner was eloquent OF
so much thought about her companion
and of such reliance upon him.
The two began to walk on toward
the gate, where they stopped, turning
to face each other, and Isabels glance,
passing Eugene, fell upon George. In
stantly she smiled and waved her
hand to him, while Eugene turned and |
nodded; but George, standing as in
some rigid trance, and staring straight
1t them. gave these signals Of greeting

this, Isabel called to him, waving her
hand again.
"Georgie!" she called, laughing.
"Wake up, dear! George, hellol"
George turned away as If he had
neither seen nor heard, and stalked
into the house by the side door.

~ VERY day this
r. month, every day
this year, is some
body's birthday.
Sometimes the. other
bodies remember it at
the right time, some
times they need a jog to
their memories.
This is the jog.
Two persons are born
every second-isn't that
what the statisticians
are agreed on? And
most of them are de-
serving of a birthday
remembrance when the
important anniversary

We say so, whether
the statisticians agree
or not.
The easiest and the
best place in which to
select such remem-
