ADVENTURES OF

Nov we're talking said Woody
Nick and Flippety-Flap. You wish
to take Tag Tigre away. and We GER
tainly wish to be rid of him. That's
why we are having this meeting"
"Oh!" beamed the fairyman. Then
perhaps you have thought of a plan"

the mongoose suddenly, peeping out of

their enemy had not discovered their

little gazelle.
"And the fiercest," added the ante
lope.
"And the fightiest!" growled the
leopard.
And the greediest!" said someone
else.
II see that Mr.. Tiger is about as
popular hereabouts as a spider at a

I'm not certain what little girl

dreaming that Nancy was one, "and /

Why there isn't a family that hasn't

"You don't know how to handle
him." said Flippety Flap. You ought
to keep him in a cage like we do. But
there's! How are we ever going to get
him? Let me think. Oh, / have It!
Are they any pepper-trees growing
around here?"
Yes" nodded the wart-hog. There
is a whole bunch of them up on the

"Fine!" declared Flippety- Flap,
winking at Nick. Then he took a tele-

81 have been thinking much, dear
old friend" he wrote, of the futility
of human desires. Life in the trenches
is rather conducive to that form of
meditation, as you may imagine. You
know, none better, how l loved Mar
garet, how wanted to make her my
.wife-I often wonder whether if had
not delayed so long, fearing my fate
too much, I might not have won her.
But thoughts like that are worse than
useless.
Instead, there has come to me a
clearer understanding of Margaret, a
better insight into the golden heart of
her. If she had never met the other
man, or some one like him, believe
could have made her happy, kept her
contented. But I realize fully that
having met him there could never be
any other man for her but HIM. Her
love for him is like flame, trans
forming her. I could never have
called forth such passion from her.

brotherly affection which she thought
gave her to arouse the romance
which know slumbers under that
calm, cold exterior Of hers.
Sometimes query, too, whether my
love for Margaret had that flame
like quality which characterizes her
love for her husband. Margaret has
always been SO much a part of my
life that my love for her began could
not tell when, and grew and strength
ened with the years. There never has
been any other woman but Margaret
in my life. Even If should ever
come out of this living hell. which I
doubt, I do not believe there ever will

"And YETI
I laid the letter aside with queer
little startled feeling at my heart.
These two little words, land yet" at
the end of Jacks letter gave me much
food for thought. Was it possible that
before his death Jack had realized that
his love for me was not the consum-
ing passion he had thought lit, but
partook more OF the fraternal affection
that I had had for him.
I hope for Jacks sake that this
was SO.

I ran through the rest of the letters
rapidly. One, the third from the last,
arrested my attention sharply.
"Such a pleasant thing happened to
me today" Jack wrote, "one of the

changes
! If we understood the present, we
we could predict the future. But no
generation understands itself very
well. The present is the blind spot
in life. The conditions on which we
fix our eyes and suppose to be the
ruling feature Of the age, may be the
almost spent forces of the past, and
there may be movements just under
meath the surface that are gathering
momentum unsupported.
1t is very easy to take note of few
outstanding conditions in finance or
politics. and to predict on the basis of
change in recent years what seems
certain to occur in years just ahead.
But many factors of uncertainty en-
ter into all these predictions. We
never can make a full inventory Of
the conditions Of our time, and some
Of the most potent forces are unsus-
pected by even the wisest Of those who
undertake to tell us things to come.
The future undoubtedly holds many
surprises, some disheartening, others
encouraging. We. do well not to un-
dertake to outline 1t too infinitely. But

When 1t comes to comparing the
growth of industrial families of Amer

hat to nobody. 1t has grown from a
small shop Of five men in Cleveland in
1869. to an international organization
Of more than $4,000 people. More than
10000 of its present employees have
been with the organization longer than
two years.
The five most venerable veterans OF
the company are at it's great telephone

of them are shop workers. They show
an aggregate service Of 205 years with

show two score years in the harness.
III. B. Thayer, President Of the Amer

Besides these old timers, the institu-

more than thirty five years each, sixty
five with more than thirty years, and
226 who have passed quarter Of a
