WHERE LITTLE DICK SCORED
In Marshaling Examples, Mother Had
Completely Forgotten the Story
of Jack and Jill.

Three-year-old Dick simply would
not go to sleep. When he had asked
for water eight times his eXasperated
mother said:
"Now, Dick, am not going to give
you any more water. Little Jack
HOrner went to sleep in the corner,
and he didn't have any water. Little
Boy Blue went to sleep on the hay
stack. and he didn't have any water"
Dead silence for moment. Then
Dick replied:
"Rut how about Jack and Jill, who
went up the hill? They had whole
pail Of water"
Needless to say Dick got his ninth
drink

CHAPTER XVII.
Payment In Full.

Edith Devon, with the small black
bag in her hand, crept out Of the Pen
dlehaven garden, unapprehensive. She
had no power TO think-no desire to go
anywhere or do anything. She lin
gered about Pendlehaven place until
the morning dawned. During the hours
preceding daylight she studied over
the events of the afternoon and eve
ming. AS her mind cleared, all hgT
love for Uriah rose up and clamored
to help him. She remembered leaving
him stretched out on the floor as II ne
were dead. When the town below be-
gan to show signs Of day she walked
back into Pendlehaven place and slow
ly up to the house.
It was a servant who ushered Mrs.
Devon into the library where Doctor
John and Doctor Paul still SAL, strug-
Cling with the mystery that had come
into their usually quiet home. After
vainly trying to force more than mono
syllable replies from TOnnibel, they
had put her to bed, gibbering with
fright.
Edith advanced to the middle of the
room, holding the little bag in her
hand, looking first at Doctor John, who
tried unsuccessfully to recall where he
had seen her, and then at Doctor Paul.
"Where's my man, my Uriah? she
asked hoarsely, and then Doctor John
recognized her and rose to his feet.
"You got my husband here with bit
of lead in i'm" went on Edith, mo
notonously. II want to see i'm; want
to take i'm back to the boat"
For the space of thirty seconds per-
haps no one ventured word. Then
as the woman swayed, Doctor John
leaped forward and put her into q
chair. The bag dropped to the floor
beside her. Tears began to flow down
her cheeks and, with her sleeve, ste
brushed them away.
where's my man, my Uriah?" she
demanded again fiercely. "Give i'm
back to me, mister, and I'll Where's
the pup that shot 'im?"
"Who shot him 2" cried Doctor John.
Edith gave him a peculiar look.
Reggie, Reggie Brown" she whined.
II saw i'm, and Tony, thinkin' / did
it"
A sharp cry fell from DR.. Paul Pen
dlehaven.
"Tony vowed she did it, he gasped-
"Oh, my poor little girl She didn't
even mention your being here"
''Tony's like that" assented Edith.
"She wouldn't peach on a dog"
Doctor John came to her side with
one long stride.
"Are you ready to swear Reginald
Brown shot your husbands" he de-
manded,
"Of course l am, mister" nodded
Edith. "He was always runnin' after
Tony, and she hated i'm. He was
right over there when, suddenlike, he
banged a bullet smack at my man.
That duffer, the dirty pup, amt fit to
clean Uriah's boots. When Tony
pushed me out of this house she says,
we'll, she says, Run, mummy, before
somebody gets you and was kind a
dazed like and ran away"
Just then Philip flung into the room.
room.
I'm half crazy" he exclaimed and
then stopped, seeing Edith Devon, but
he was so filed with misery that ne
gave no further heed to the stranger
and went on hastily, "Jack, Paul.
there's something behind that affair
Of Reggie's!"

How much harder the daily tasks OF

forty years has been restoring American

Latin Words in Our language.

The Norman-French people WHO
settled England gave to English
speaking people several thousand
words with a few alterations. Then,
at the Revival Of Learning, a still
larger number Of Latin words came
into our language. The Latin word
facilis became facile; the word natio
appeared as nation; the word opinio
as opinion; the verb separatum as
separate; and so on with thousands
of other words. And, since that time,
new Latin words have been coming
yearly into our language and settling
there.-From 1.-THE Art of Writing
English"

He waited for her to speak, to deny
her words, but the fearful expression
in the gray eyes turned upon him con-
fused him still more.
"Yes, 60" Tony told him, rOusing
herself, "and-and-never think Of me
again"
There was silence in the room as he
went away, but no sooner had the door
closed than Tony flung up her arms
and sank unconscious in a forlorn, lit
tie heap against Paul Pendlehaven.

EduclS Drake explored IOr EnBiauu
the coast considerably north Of this.
Other Spaniards made further explOra-
tons and Captain Cook, the English
navigator, in 1888 landed at NOotka
Sound and gave it is name. Thus both
Spain and England laid claim to this
region.
The American rights to this territory
were based on the discovery of the
Columbia river in 1892 by Captain
Robert Gray, who sailed from Boston
in the ship Columbia to open up fur
trade. Many American fur traders
followed and in 1911 John Jacob AS
tor, the head of the Pacific Fur com
pany, established a settlement called
Astoria at the mouth of the Column
bia.
The real opening of the Northwest
was the result % the famous Lewis
and Clark expedition. These two
captains were sent out by President
Jefferson to explore the sources of the
Missouri river. They continued their
explorations, crossing over the noun
tains to the Columbia river and trav-
eled down this to the Pacific. Mis-
siOnaries also penetrated to the coast
and started missions. Among these
were DR.. Marcus Whitman and Rev.
H. H. Spaulding, who with their wives
went to Oregon in 1886. These two
women were the first white women to
CROSS tho Rocky Mountains
BY 1S43 a decided flow of emigrants
from the East Travelled over the Ore
gon Trail from Kansas City to the
Columbia river, and thus into Ore
gon. The trip over this route Occu-
pied about three months and the set
tiers generally travelled in large parties
to withstand any possible attacks
from Indians.
American settlers became so num-
erous that the United States actively
laid claim to this region. Spain had
been forced to withdraw any rights
she may have had when Florida was
coded in 1870 This left England and
America quarrelling over this section
of the country. Final settlement, with
definite boundaries between the
United States and Canada, was made
in 1916.
The Oregon territory was formed in
1S4S and the State of oregon was TAX
en- into the Union in 1859 with an
area Of 96,699 square miles.

About PIGS.

An eight-year-old boy recently asked
his mother to tell him the meaning OF
the word "canine" which he had found
while reading. The mother explained
the meaning of the word, as connected
with dogs, then broadened her infor-
nation by telling him of the words
feline" "bovine," equine" ETC., as
pertaining to other animals. The
youngster was apparently impressed.
Suddenly he exclaimed: "Oh, yes,
mother, l understand. And porcupine
