"In the springtime. In the spring

said Mother Caribou. or Mother Fawn
as she was sometimes known.
"Now. my dear little one," she said
to her child. 'you came to me when

feeding ground. quite far up North in

Besides, you are so smart, my love-
you can follow me about after only
three days of resting and waiting to
be strong enough.
"There aren't many babies who can
follow their mothers about after three
days only in the world. That's where
my babies are so smart. I suppose
every mother thinks the same-that
others.
But feel quite sure mine are the
very smartest of all.
Il know IL anything happened to
me, my love, you would be able to look
after yourself-at least feel almost
myself. too. for I know you don't
want to be alone. and I don't want
to leave you."
The eyes of the young caribou had
filed with tears.
"Smile, my lovely child. for won't
leave you. will watch out and take
good care, so that am with my lovely
baby right along and so my lovely
one won't be lonely.
II will stay with my fawn, oh, yes

so cruel as to kill me when I'm my
precious fawn's mother.

The only goods exhibited for sale

portable goods are either stored safe

SPRINGS GLORIOUS MESSAGE
Awakening Life Of Earth Brings with
II the Splendid Promise Of Life
Everlasting.

What beautiful picture is that OF
the spring! How mysteriously the
earth "bringeth forth her bud! How
spontaneously 1t "causeth the things
that are sown In 1t to SPRING! So In
the higher world of spiritual things
God brings forth the fruits Of right
eousness and praise. The Idea is that
spiritual fruit must be spontaneous
and not mechanical. You cannot make
n garden by tying artificial flowers and
wax fruit on dead branches. 1t must
spring from hidden sources. The mes.
sage of spring is ever the same: life,
spontaneous life, exuberant life, over
flowing life. Let our hearts respond to
that message and In answer to their
cry the Master will make real to us
his promise. ~ am come that they
might have life, and that they might
have 1t more abundantly."-A. b. Simp-

pulpits with view of developing the
laughter Of the congregation. This
practice was not developed from q
spirit Of irreverence. The people in
those days thought of Easter as the
most Joyful day Of the calendar, and
1t was natural that they should con-
slider laughter as being an integral
part of day of Joy, hence the pains
the clergy were at to tickle the risi-
bilities of the people.
The reformers changed this order.
They began to think more seriously Of
the Easter festival, and when they ar
rived at deeper understanding Of the
meaning Of HE Is Risen." their way
was clear to them. The solemnity Of
the three words convinced them that
levity in the churches was not in keep
ing with reverential, dignified, or de-
cent feelings. The manner changed,
but not the custom.
Herald Of Easter Morn.
Out of the Reformation came the

ever, and on down through the cor
ridors of time they have heralded
Easter morning.
If one were to become analytical in
observing the Easter season 1t would
not be difficult to arrive at the con.
clusion that the occasion. wherever II
Is recognized, Is rooted in the hearts
of individuals. Easter joy is not the
result of ukase or of custom as much
as 1t springs naturally from the spir.
its Of the people-spirits touched with
the Joy of great awakening which Of.
fered future glory to the world. All
these thoughts blend together in an.
ticipating the dawn Of Easter morn
ing; all these thoughts fill the lives
Of the earth's peoples.
Even the chimes of the church bellt
on Easter morning have a special sig
nificance. They seem to be clearer
and more appealing. Many of those
who have stepped outside the accept
ed boundaries of religion have beer
brought back within the fold on East
er morning by no other influence thar

Helen's visit came, and Anne knew
that no girl who had ever been enter
tained there had enjoyed greater pop
ularity. There had been rides. lunch
cons, teas. dinners and theater par
ties to the nearby city, all Of them
sponsored by the able, Quiet-looking
colonel. Anne was grateful beyond the
power Of words to express, but the Wis
1t had been trying one for her. She
was conscious every time that she saw
the commanding officer at the post that
all he did was for her. She had worn
her blue dresses because she had heard
him say SO many times in the old
days that blue was his favorite color,
and she wanted to please him because
he was doing so much for her.
He came to call, alone, the night be-
fore Helen was to leave. The girl
seemed strangely excited, as II she
were just bubbling over with happi-
ness. Anne said goodnight to them
early and went to her room, thinking
over her own care-free days and her
unwise choice of partner. She would
try to save Helen from the same fate.
She wondered If the girl had come
really to care for any Of the men who
had danced attendance on her. None
of them probably cared straw for
the girl herself. OF course. they
rushed her to please the colonel.
There was little lieutenant who had
seemed sincere in his attentions.
Could It be that he-Anne was startled
| from her reverie by Helen tip-toeing
into the room, with her finger on her
lips. The little visitor was in flame
colored taffeta with wide-plaited ruff
fles that served to round out her slim,
| girlish figure. A high Spanish comb
held her yellow curls on top of her
head. She was eager, vivid. keenly
alive. Her eyes were sparkling.
II have a secret, wonderful one,"
she confided rapturously.
"Yes?" questioned Anne; but already
that strange sixth sense was at work,
prophesying the astounding news.

colonel's lady2"
Anne was staring at her, eyes dark
us shadowy pools. as If she were see-
ing her for the first time. "Why. Of
course, l am delighted"
II wanted him to tell you, but he
said 1t would be better for me to
break the news. Wasn't that thought
full of him? Women do love startling
secrets, don't they? And just think,

Roanoke police in the early morning
of November 10 a few hours after
the Bank of Glasgow, Va, was rob

securities, were placed on trial here

In pitched battle on the outskirts

Philadelphia, driving a large touring
automobile, was killed by the police,
and his companions, Porter, who
bears the aliases of Winam Welsh
and Bellfontaine "Slim," and Carter,
AhOse alias is Cha es Wilkes, were
arrested. Much of the loot was found
in the automobile. The police had
been informed of the robbery by the
Glasgow bank officials at o'clock in
te morning and Immediately set
watch on the three roads from that
place.
When intercepted on one of the
roads an hour later the automobile
was going OF high speed and turned
turtle when an effort was made to
swerve around the police patrol which
had been placed across the road. In
the battle which followed Rodgers
was killed and policeman wounded.
About fifty shots were exchanged be-
tween the authorities and the ban
dts. In the automobile was found a
quart flask of nitrogiycerine careful
ly packed in cotton in a wooden box.
Although all the loot was identified
as belonging to the Glasgow bank,
local police maintained that the men
were responsible for robberies in
Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and
Tennessee. In addition to the valu-
ables the three men had about 81 900

Porter on his second day in Jail when
