forget all the yesterdays and to-
morrowS.
So, determined to forget, to make
the world her debtor, Helen buried
herself in her writing. Then she be-
came the tool of that mysterious
power that moved in her brain, of the
impulse that stirred her being. At
such times her mind often filed with
images with which she was unfamiI-
iar-thoughts utterly foreign to her,
to her life and habits. She was no
hack writer. Never would be. Money,
In this as in everything the world
was hoS debtor. 1t should pay.
Often, as she read over what she
had written, she felt it was not en-
tirely her own, but that it was the
work of an influence she could scarce
ly comprehend, certainly not rule
Her experience with one of her first
stories written in New York had
made her cautious. Now she scanned
her work closely to see if unknown
ingly she had touched on what she
had determined should remain for
ever hidden. That had been invol-
untary, might she not make the same
mistake again?
To write came to her now as ma
turally as to speak. Therefore, she
worked steadily when once an idea
had taken possession of her. And
II SoTN0u dHOIHSF purpose. Grduudl-
ly it was making dim that which had
| awakened the genius in her; that
had caused her-young, beautiful
accomp1ished--to go among strang-
ers, to leave that other, that night
mare life behind.
This explained in part why Helen
showed beginning power to listen
to all people said, although she never
talked of herself. 1t also explained
that occasional something in her,
sharp and bitter-a note of disillus-
ionment that Jared.
Kirk Lansing had called often.
Sometimes Helen received him; some
times she sent him away. She adj
mired and respected him more than
any man she ever had met. AS she
grew to know him better, to under
stand him his sterling principles, the
honor in which he held women, she
realized that he was beginning to
mean much, very much to her. She
realized that the days were longer
when she neither heard from him nos
saw him. From the first his per-
sonality had made grip on hers.
This grip had strengthened with &C
quaintanceship. Now, as friends, it
was growing still more tenacious.
She thought of her past 1t must
be an obstacle that would forever
keep them apart. Often she asked
herself the question:
Can a woman live lie beside the
man she loves? Live it all her life
long?"

DUST IS DANGEROUS

On February Is, last, at Mantiowoc,
Wis, number of girls in an alum
mum goods factory were putting a
satin finish on articles of that metal,
holding them for the purpose against
rapidly revolving steel brushes. The
dust. A piece of iron wire, caught
in the blades of a blower-fan, gave
off spark which ignited the dust
and an explosion followed, which
killed six of the girls.
The fan had been installed for the
purpose of removing the dust, but
itself became cause ia disastrous
accident.
Up to that time it had not been
known that aluminium dust could ex-
plode; but apparently no kind of dust
is safe. Among recent accidents of
the kind was an explosion of fish
meal. Flour, sugar, cornmeal and
spices (such as cinnamon) readily ex-
plode under such conditions. e,
when suspended as a cloud of finely
divided particles in the air.

chinery or static electricity may
cause a dust explosion. Accidents
of the kind SO frequently destroy

companies will not insure them ex-
cept at prohibitive rates.
A dust collecting fan, designed by
the department of agriculture for use
in connection with threshing ma
chinery and supplemented by a fire
extinguisher, has proven successful.

demonstration purposes, has built a

which candle is lighted. When the

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O THOMAS
Have a Simple Christmas

Don't you remember when Christ
mas seemed to have years and years
between it and the next one? Then
there came the time when you felt
very grown up and said with much
emphasis, 'the years seems so short"
and then, really they grew short and
after a while it Seenped that a year
must have skipped "a month or so
Lula May has just informed me that
Christmas will be here next Satur-
day, and another of the younger set
mas informed me, very seriously, that
next week will not have any Satur-
day. OF course I "bit" and asked
how that could be, and was told that
it would be Christmas day.
used to think that if Christmas
had come in May or June it would
have made them nearer together. it
seemed such long time to the very
last month.
But it is here. again and 1 hope
that every one of you will be glad
and will try to make it a day of
gladness for some one, that is the
true Christmas spirit, and the only
lasting good. The sudden drop in
cotton has cast a damper on Christ
mas buying, but I cannot say that it
is unmixed evil, there has grown
upon many of us a perfect mania
Tor spending money. Il heard a WON
an say that money was the cheapest
tn1ng In America, and that she meant
TO spend her share of it. I told her
that thought it would be more. SEN
s1ble to collect as much of it while
1T was cheap and have it ready for
the scarce times. It is so easv to
ouy and have things charged, but it
is awful now to have to paw bills
That were made when there was a
prospect OF thirty cent cotton. MY
ADVICE to all of you is to buy onIy
what you are honestly able to pay
Tor under the present conditions. Not
many of us fool the world all the
time and a day of settlement is sure
to come.
We need not go about with face
yard long; little children are so oft
en- unnecessarily impressed by our
long faces, and take things harder
than we think they do. Get them
simple presents and let the "swap-
ping presents" alone.
RMS has been a good year. We
nave had health and prosperity. We
nave had no scourge of war, pesti-
fence nor famine. The nations are
now in peace congress and that
means that the influence of the
Blessed Savior whose birthday we
celebrate is the leaven that con-
t1nues to permeate the world. Sor-
row and misfortunes come to all of
us, sometimes through our own mis-
deeds, often because another has
chosen the evil way, but we need
only to remember that "5oy cometh
in the morning" The night often
seems as long as our childish ideas
of the distance between Christmas
but The Lord is mindful of his
own" and we must let the days reg
lister only good deeds and forgive
ness, for they, so often 'fknow not
what they do"
Don't try to make show, just try
to make some one happy If you do
that the same glow will be reflected
in your own heart and throughout
the years.
