Our doubts are traitors, making us
lose what We often might win by fear
ing to attempt" she quoted,
John looked at her in surprise.
WHY that's shakespeare quota
ton you never got from me either"
he exclaimed.
Somehow that seemed TO have
Knocked the wind out of his sails. for
he did not finish what he had begun.
The next day Jean left for the East.
At the station John held her hand
until the time for the train to depart
arrived. He did not think it his right
TO inquire where She was going; she
had not thought it necessary TO tell
him. "Goodby, little girl, and don't
forget to study the classics" he told
her. AS the train shot out of sight
John looked after 1t longingly. He had
sacrificed his only chance for happi-
ness at the altar of learning, for he
had restrained himself from propos-
ing to Jean because it would have
meant the end to his plans for uni
versity course. What a fool he had
been Right there he made resolve,
and telegram that was waiting him
back at the camp decided definitely
for him. "Come home. | need YOU"
and it was signed Father"
For two weeks John stayed at the
bedside of his father, without any 9th
or thought but the sick man before
him. AT last the crisis was reached aud
the danger passed. From then on John
devoted himself to the farm--the great
big stretch of Gods country that called
out to him for cultivation and respond
ed so nobly to his efforts. Jean was
not forgotten. 1t was for her he was
working. Some day, somehow, he
would find her again and bring her TO
Il home of great prosperity he told
himself.
The Christmas holidays brought
Johns sister Flora home from college
with guest--her teacher Of English
and literature. John had displayed no
interest in the expected arrival, but
when Flora brought some one to him
and he looked into two big, familiar
eyes and saw a familiar smiling, blush
ing face, he was almost swept off his
feet with surprise.
JEAN he cried in surprise.
"John !" she echoed his tone.
Explanations did not come until az
ter supper when they We're alone in the
library. She had found John with head
in his hands.
II was fool" he condemned him
self severely. 81 might have known
that your education was far superior
TO mine. Why, you We're a university
graduate, while | was Just a common
public school teacher; | should never
have left the farm
IF you had not you would never
have met me-"
And what good has it done me-
just made me miserable. Oh, my les
son has been severe one; I have
learned ii Well"
And | have learned lesson, too
"a wonderful lesson. the most won
derful lesson in life"
There was something in her tone
that brought his heart to a quicker
beat. He looked up eagerly. what
what do you mean" he muttered
weakly.
"Oh, John, are you going to make me
say it, say what you started to say that
night on the lake-that night that
. Shakespeare had to spoil itf" She was
almost In his arms. there was a won
/ derful expression on his face He
/ gathered her up in one great hug
Right there he discovered how use
/ less language is.

ueers in Il freed Strasb0urg The
scheme was put before General
HirSchauer and was Immediately
adopted The sculptor chosen to carve
the embematic bird was the AlSatian

IN THE DAYS NEWS.

Herbert G. Wells, who is accom-
panying the British delegation to
America to participate in the Pilgrim
tercentenary celebration, is one of the
most prolific writer's of the present
day. The son of professional crick-
eter Mr.. Wells was born 81 years ago
today in the English town of Bromley.
After attending private schools he
went to the Royal College of Science,
where he secured first class honors in
zoology. In his early days he aspired
to become a black and white artist.
Then he tried diapers counter, put
in year or two as teacher, and fin
ally turned to scribbling articles in
his spare time. His first serious liter
AIRY attempt was in collaboration with
his wife. The book they wrote proved
successful and Mr.. Wells forthwith
turned to literature as a career Since
then he has been writing continuously
and he Is now classed among the most
successful of English writer's of fic-
ton.

money to pay the hotel bill and to pay
the fare of all of the members of his
company except himself to Cincinnati.
He was able to land job on the Bull
letin which he held for couple of
weeks, leaving Maysville for Cincin-
natl where he found position at the
type cases.
This experience on the road did not
block his determination for stage
career however, and he afterwards ap-
peared with some Of the strongest ac-
tors ON the stage. Until his death he
counted among his personal friends,
some of the most famous of the older
stars and when they appeared in Lex
ington, he always had long visit with
them talking over olden days.
In reciting this story some few
years ago, Major Leaning said that
was his only visit to Maysville but he
had alwaye longed to come back for a
day Just to look the old town over and
to visit the old Aberdeen town hall.
