well who is Mrs. Carpenter? q

enthusiastic voice. Cherry did wish
that Corinne did not seem so bored
most OF the time. So many OF her con-
ffdences went fat in consequence.
Mrs. Carpenter Is quite the most
exciting woman in town. She Is
terribly wealthy. and has a wonder
full home, and recognizes only a few
townspeople. Most of her guests arc
out-of-toWn people, interesting artists
and writer's and so forth. When she

Cherry, unconvinced. And yet II

"Well. what OF it?"
"Oh, nothing!" said Cherry and
stopped talking, only her thoughts
went on and on. She would find out
whether or not that was Anne: she

attitude and her own common sense
told her that it was impossible that
Anne should be in Mrs. Carpenters
$4,000 car, yet Cherry had looked
full at the girl who had been
muffled in a big fur coat, and the
resemblance was startling, almost
undeniabie.
That afternoon, Mrs. Carpenter
had insisted upon Anne's going for
a drive. playfully. "You make me
feel that I am working you too
hard"
Anne lived in deadly terror of
being recognized, Of having some
one spoil this paradise for her. She
felt that IL anything happened TO
take her put of this life. that she
couldn't go OF with her old existence.
More than ever now because of Dane
Grey. Anne worshiped this man with
all OF the sacredness of her fresh
young heart. To her he stood for
all men. He had not yet become the
one man: she had not thought of him
in that light.

not want to go and she said slightly:

that while city children have the

During May I Travelled through
aud not one rural school was
open. The reason? They had used
up all the time required by their
state laws for attending schools.
Some states require only 100 days
Of rural school attendance" said
Prof. Finegan, while most of the
city schools require at least zoo
days. Such a situation places the
country child at a disadvantage.
VIC also have been putting the
poorest teachers and the poorest
equipment in our rural schools.
when only the best of each is good
enough.
Courses OF study should also
be rearranged." Prof. Finegan
added. "Recitations every four
to seven minutes all day long, in
one room. by one teacher. Is un-
fair to both teacher and pupils.
The one-room school must give
way to the consolidated school;
the school term must be length
ened. and better teachers. better
buildings and other equipment
must be provided. that. the coun-
