Today is known as Maundy Thurs
day" the day before Good Friday On
this day Christ washed the disciples
feet, and gave them a command to love
one another. hence it is called '"dies
Mandate" Mandate" or 'Maundy
Thursday" Formerly the church doors
used to stand open for the whole day,
signifying. that all who would, might
enter. The ceremony first commenced
in 1862, and for long time the Eng.
lish kings observed the custom OF
washing the feet of a number Of poor
men equal in years to their own age
and giving them shoes, stockings and
money. Money and clothing are still
given out, but the washing of feet on
such occasions has long since been dis
pensed with.

The windshield may be in wind

get there on time, without you and
the mail being prematurely dis
tributed on the way. The mail just
gets there"-and the manner of
the jump is only a detail. Once the
truck comes to a stop beside the
waiting ship" you will want to
climb out and tear around the field,
just to live up to the mad pace to
which your nerves have become ac-
customed. This rushing business
gets you like a shot in the arm and

On the walls are curious arrange

until you find the tags are lined
up in divisions under the names of

By this arrangement the super

from his desk to know at once the

pilot in the service. His office is
the nerve center of the system. the

from one station to another is re-

/ day-the day when they had the
mock tournament, and the men rode
clumsy farm horses around in a
glade in the woods and caught cur
tain rings on the end of a lance.
Such fun!
Cool and dry as the finest wine
came the breath of the shadowed
forest. The valley below was a
vision seen through an opal haze.
A white mist from hidden falls
blurred the green of hands
breadth of tree tops halfway down
the gorge. Youth made merry
hand-in-hand with young summer.
Nothing on Broadway like that.
The villagers gathered to see the
city folks pursue their mad drollery.
The woods rang with the laughter
of pixies and naiads and sprites.
Gaines caught most of the rings.
His was the privilege TO crown the
queen of the tournament. He was
the conquering knight-as far as
the rings went. On his arm he wore
white scarf. Compton wore light
blue. She had declared her prefer
ence for blue, but she wore white
tthat day.
Gaines looked about for the queen
to crown her. He heard her merry
| laugh, as If from the clouds. She
had slipped away and climbed Chin
| ney Rock, a little granite bluff, and
stood there, a white fairy among
the laurels, fifty feet above their
! heads.
Instantly he and Compton ac-
| cepted the implied challenge. The
| bluff was easily mounted at the
: rear, but the front offered small
hold to hand or foot. Each man
quickly selected his route and be-
/ gan to climb. A crevice, a bush, d
slight projection, a vine or tree

light hearts. and something else
that Miss Clay writes so charm
ingly about.
Gaines gave a great tug at the
root of a laurel and pulled himself
to Miss Mary's feet. On his arm he
carried the wreath of roses: and
while the villagers and summer
boarders screamed and applauded
below, he place it on the queens
brow.
You are a gallant knight" said
Miss Mary.
IF I could be your true knight
always" began Gaines, but Miss
Mary laughed him dumb, for Comp
ton scrambled over the edge Of the
rock one minute behind time.
What a twilight that was when
they drove back to the hotel! The
opal of the valley turned slowly to
purple, the dark woods framed the
lake as a mirror, the tonic air stir
red the very soul in one. The first
pale stars come out over the noun

said Adkins.
The man who believed New York
to be the finest summer resort in
the world opened his eyes and
kicked over the mucilage bottle on
his desk.

said.

and that almost laid him open TO
the charge of betting on a sure thing
But white was her choice, and
Gaines held up his head with twenty
five's lordly air,
The little summer hotel in the
mountains had a lively crowd that
year. There were two or three
young college men and a couple of
artists and a young naval officer on
one side. On the other there were
enough beauties among the young
ladies for the correspondent of a
society paper to refer to them as a
"bevy." But the moon among the
stars was Mary Sewell. Each one
of the young men greatly desired
to arrange matters so that he could
pay her millinery bills, and fix the
furnace, and have her do away with
the "Sewell" part of her name for
ever. Those who could stay only a
week or two went away limiting at
pistols and blighted hearts. But
Compton stayed like the mountains
themselves, for he could afford it
And Gaines stayed because he was
a fighter and wasn't afraid of
millionaires' sons, and-well, he
adored the country.
What do you think. Miss Mary ?'
he said once. II knew a duffer in
New York who claimed to like it in
the summer time. Said you could
keep cooler there than you could
in the woods. Wasn't he an awful
silly? l don't think 1 could breathe

Mary with lovely frown.

Gaines, there are lots of jolly
