When Hearts Are TrunapS
BY Virginia Terhune Van de Water.

subject now. She was engaged
and to man whom she respected
and liked.
Lately she had grown very fond.
Of John-as she became better ac-
auainted with him a. he really was.
Surely the calm. trustful Kind of
affection she had for him was safer
and better than the wild devotion
she had felt for Robert during. the
twenty four hours that he had been
in Summerfield.
Only twentyfour hours OF ec'
stacy--a perfect dream of bliss!
Then she had walked up.
WHAT WAS RIGHT.
Well. after all. she had done what
was right. She sat up with an un-
conscious gesture of dismissal-as
II banishing the past from her mind.
What does that mean" John
Brandon smiled down at her.
"Nothing-only l was remember
ing a disagreeable subject, and de-
Gliding to forget it.
1T is nice out here with you.
Where are we going?"
"I thought perhaps you might
like to go to the Country Club for
tea" he answered. 1T is rather
warm for a long drive-and iced
tea would taste good-dont you
think so?"
Yes, do" she agreed. 'It is
very muggy day-and dusty, too"
1--WE are going to have rain to-
night" John predicted. TT has held
off long-but it is on its way here
now"
Although he did not say so, Bar
bara was certain that her betrothed
welcomed an opportunity to appear
in public with her.
At the club there would he

tea, and all would notice John
Brandon and his companion. She
was glad she had worn her new
white dress, and pretty white hat,
lined with rose, that threw a he-
coming flush upon her face. She
experienced. also, a thrill OF pride
because Johns new car was one of
the handsomest in town.
As the pair alighted from the au-
tomobile and crossed the lawn to a
little table under the trees, inter-
ested glances followed them.
Barbara was but human. AL
though she did not love this man.
she enjoyed tho temporary sense OF
importance that his presence and
admiration brought to her.

md nm Authority In Child Training.
Tor the fourth time a family of
five are starting on 4 1000
= mile trip in their auto. They
have mastered the art pf living out
of doors; and their method Is so
significant for the health and pleas
ure of the children that | must out
line it for the benefit of others.
First OF all, the equipment Of the
car is a model of simplicity and
convenience. BY means of straps
and light levers a canvas bed is
stretched tightly above the seats OF
the car and holds two comfortably;
a collapsible bed-tent serves as
sleeping place for two more, AMI
the smallest child is tucked in
underneath on the scat cushion.
The commissary department OF
this happy family of auto travellers
is likewise a matter of easy man
agement--one good square meal
daily in hotel or cafe and two
light lunch meals in the auto. No
piecing between is permitted to
break n strict rule of diet dis
cipline.
1t is the firm belief of the par
ents that careless eating and drink
ing is the cause of practically all
the summer illness from which
children suffer and that the secret
of health and happiness-especially
while traveling-is to avoid every
doubtful ingredient.
Lime juice and lemonade are the
only drinks sparinEly taken to sup
plement good water.
The morning gymnastics must
come as regularly as the dawn of
day, and for the children it is run
ming up and down the road or
climbing trees and hills till they
are thoroughly tired.
Do not hurry; do not aim to get
to any particular point on time;
do not look often at your. watch;
do not start the days drive till
everything is in readiness and tho
family all in poise; do not try to
60 round all the other autos on the
road: do not drive long in some
one else's dust cloud; do not travel
without a few books and simple
playthings for the children-these
warnings will help to make the
journey happy one.
Respect ths health and efficiency
OF your auto: Load light in the rear.
Loll up bedding near top and like
big curtain on both sides, to pre-
serve the balance. Also keep run
ming board packs balanced. Oil
every day, keep tires inflated right,
watch the grease cups, fill the radi-
ator with clean water, look to the
batteries.
My friend OF the travelling fam
lily OF five contends that the peace
and happiness of the family vary
as the care and efficiency of the
auto. The children will fuss and
quarrel all day IL the auto is
coughing and stalling on every up
grade.
Let the machine rest an hour or
two on Sabbath while you take the
family to church; also stop for tho
rain and heavy mud to clear away
unless you are on pavement.
Try to spend at least day or two
e on the way in an attractive park or
museum, there may be n zoo or n
children's playground or an athletic
meet to break the monotony of the
long drive.
Now, let us have the road lined
with travelling families who make
use of the auto-philosophy so we'll
illustrated by this model family OF
five.

SSHAISY GREENWOOD is a
lovely girl" John Brandon
commented as he and his
fancec drove away together.
'She is indeed" Barbara agreed
warmly. 81 love her better than
any other friend. She is always SO
dear and unselfish."
II am glad you told her OF our
engagement" Brandon said. ~ like

and most intimate girl-friend have

Barbara confessed. do you mind"
Mind" her companion laughed
aloud. II am so proud of the truth
that I would like to have it an
nounced in great big letters all
over the world. Just see how fool
ish a middlc-aged lover can be-"
Barbara did not smile. Instead,
she made a request.
"Mr. Br-G mean-John-woul
you mind not talking Of yourself
as IL you were not young?"
He glanced at her in surprise.
"Why, dear? Anybody seeing
my gray hair would know my age
without my mentioning it. So why
try to hide it?"
81 do not say that you must try
to hide it But why draw attention
to it?"
You mean, Bah. that you would
rather that people should not have
their notice called to the disparity
in our ages?"
oh she protested. afraid she
had wounded him-"do not think
that, please! 1t is only that I do
not regard you as old-and you are
not old"
II see" he muttered. "Do not
try to explain. I understand"
She wondered If he did. She was
almost sorry she had spoken. But
she knew that people would be gos-
sipptng about the news they would
soon hear-wondering that she,
mere girl, should marry a man old
enough to be her father. Or per-
haps they would not wonder--but,
instead, jump to the conclusions that
she had accepted John because he
could give her beautiful home and
all the lovely things that money
could bring her.
Would Robert fancy that? But
no, he could not! He knew her too
well to believe such q thing!
With sick qualm she remem-
bered how she had asked him II he
was sure that he could support her,
and how disturbed he had been at
this question. He could not know
that she had asked II because she
longed to marry him, yet was re-
Iuctant to add to her unce's bur-
dens by accepting a poor man.
Robert might not comprehend
this-might put the worst con-
struction upon her question-now
that she was engaged to John Bran
don. Until this moment she had not
appreciated that he would suspect
her Of marrying for money.
Yet was that not what she was
doing?
No, she told herself. she was not
doing that! She was fond OF John
Brandon.
But she did not love him as she
had loved Robert! That fact stood
out more clearly than ever as she
realized that Robert might believe
that she was acting from mercen-
ary motives.
WE'LL she had 10 do this thing. It
was only fair to her uncle and aunt.
She did not care so much about her
duty to Aunt Cynthia. for Barbara
did not love her deeply. But she
loved her uncle. lie had done
everything for her. and wanted her
to become the wife OF John Bran
don.

your own country and go to work.

should practice your profession in
your native land.

Keep your head in adversely and in

all your heart.
I've left you some money and

love. My belief is that death is
merely an intermission. SO your
