Jud. tacitly consenting to deceit
with his half-truth. =
Leta promptly fell in love with
Jud's plump little mother who pre-
sided SO cheerily over the small
home, and was very happy in her
new surroundings
The Dixons did not live near the
center of the village, so Jud was
able to maneuver so carefully that
Leta-did not have the slightest sus-
picion that she was not living with
Masons.
The blow fell at a lawn party.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alvin Mason, bride
and groom, were there. During the
evening, while Jud was getting
some ice cream in blissful ignor.
snce, they went up to Leta and in.
troduced themselves.
Leta wondered mildly at the
knowledge that there were other
people named Mason In the town,
whom she had not before heard of.
The tenor OF AIS conversation soon
allowed her to comprehend the sit
uation.
As soon as she could conveniently
excuse herself she sought out the
unfortunate Jud who was uncon-
scious OF impending disaster.
II am quite ready to leave II you
are. Mr.. Dixon" she announced
icily. emphasizing the name in a
manner which left him in no doubt
as to her state Of mind and knowl-
edge OF affairs.
In stricken silence Jud brought

The next time you see the girl ask
her II you can call on her at her

she did not meet you. When you
ask to take a girl somewhere you
should call for her at her home and
not expect to have her meet you.
Naturally her parents would OBJ

drop the young man entirely or try

BROKEN HEARTED.
Try not to take the matter so ser
iously. Both Of you are too young
to think of love. Let him come to
your home as a friend and do not
expect him to confine his attentions
to you. If he shows an interest in
your sister, try to be glad he likes
another member of the family and
do not show jealousy.

There is a religion (which mis-
takes gymnastics for life. 1t has
certain phases it recites. certain
views it holds, certain postures it
takes, certain forms it follows.
These are it's pious activities. These
are the setting-up exercises of the

this way, it imagines that power is
harnessed> and life equipped for
service.
The people who are devout after
this fashion bank on precedent.
They have great respect for tradi-

dams on the pioneers abated con-
siderably during the winter months.

! ably safe when winter once Sc. in.
Then when there were two or three
weeks of very mild weather follow

had another opportunity to make
an attack.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: ! am 81
girl OF II. I have only one girl
friend who lives out Of town. It
seems can neither make friends
with girls or boys. Please tell me
what Won think the trouble is. I
am good, clean and religious girl
A VISITOR IN TOWN. :
Probably you think too much
shout what you want and do not
try to get the other persons point
Of view. To have friends you must
be tolerant, thoughtful and sympa-
thetic. Never feel that other peo--
pie are wrong simply because they
do not agree with you. For in
stance. you might meet very worthy
people who are not religious, and
yet they would make good friends.
With such people you should feel
that it il sufacient that they are
good and should not want them to
be religious, in the way which
seems best for you.
Are you thoughtful? Do you in
Quire about the welfare Of people
enough to know when they are sick
and in trouble? If you showed in
terest you would find more people
taking interest in you. Only card
to q sick person would make that
person your friend.
If you earnestly try to be toler-
ant, thoughtful and sympathetic,
you will find the number OF your
friends most gratifying.
