MINIATURE STORMS IN CITY
movements of Air Currents, Devel- oped by High Buildings, Make
 Study That Is Interesting.

You may learn many interesting things about air currents and the way storms develop by watching the move ment of pieces of paper, or perhaps your hat, as 1t is whirIed about the street
 A variety of miniature windstorms are developed by the high buildings or our cities or the forms of streets, which will repay careful study. On a hot day even, when the air is per fectly quiet the atmosphere, as 1t be- comes, heated tends to rise against the sides of rocks or buildings, and if it travels far enough will develop in d strong wind, which descends on the opposite side and plays queer pranks. A small whirlwind is often produced by the action of wind against a cor her formed by several buildings. As the wind travels down a street, espe- cially narrow one, it rapidly in- creaSes in velocity. A little will spill into the side streets, but the main stream will flow on, gathering mo- mentum.
 Watch the wind strike against the side of high building and notice how 1t mushrooms out on all sides, splitting into many air currents and trace these till they come to rest, But be sure to hold tightly to your hat in the meantime.-Boys' Life.

LISETTE By MURIEL BLAIR
1@. 1921. Western Newspaper Union.l

NV
 Gee. I'm tired-ain't you, LisetteT asked Miss Sturgeon, leaning back against the shelves, piled with bur lap and monks cloth-which, as all salesgrls know, make heavy rolls. Say, Lisette, I'm sick of this job. Whats the use? You toll and slave all day and wear yourself to pieces for your fifteen bones week, and when Sunday comes you're so used up all you can do is to sleep"
 Yes, som IT, answered Lisette Blanchard disconsolately.
 There was a lull in business at How ards Emporium; it was two in the afternoon, and the morning rush was over, while the afternoon shoppers had not yet put in their appearance Miss Sturgeon surveyed the little French Canadian girl who had joined the sales force some three months previously All the girls liked her; they recognized, too, that she was "the right sort" as they phrased it. Nobody ever took liberties with little Lisette.
 Say, Lisette," continued Miss Sturgeon confidently, "I got dandy fellow. Works in wholesale hard ware store and gets twenty-eight steady the year round. He's asked me to hitch up with him every Sun day night this past year, and l don't know but what 1 will"
 "YesT Queried Miss Lisette.
 Sure, that's what I say went on Miss Sturgeon. He's the kind of fellow any girl would be proud Of, not like these cheap pikers that comes in to scrape acquaintance and take you out to dinner somewhere"
 Miss Sturgeon l'' cried the floor walker severely, and Miss Sturgeon hurried away, leaving Lisette Blanch- ard to her meditatiOns.
 If the loquacious salesgirl could have known the thoughts that she had set coursing through the others mind she would have been genuinely mortified. Llsette Blanchard had come south rom her home in Canada elev- en months before, leaving her par ents, her friends and her lover be- hind. In vain Andre had asked her to stay.
 But she craved life and excitement; |; the stories which she had heard or the metropolis of America had fas- clnated her; the deadly monotony or life in St. JoachlSl had become impos- slDle to her. On the morning of thelr parting they had strolled in the woods together, and Andre, stooping, had picked a stem of wintergreen, wlth US clustering berries, and handed It 10 her. She smelled the faint, acrid odor of the leaves even then.
 When the wintergreen bears fruit again, and thou art not here, then snail know that thou wilt never re- turn," said Andre.
 That was eleven months before Lisette had spent nearly a whole year away. She had had time to become disenchanted, to realize what life In a large city meant to girl living alone And then the stranger had come in- to her life.
 She had first seen him upon the street as she left the store one. eve hing, and had flushed under his stare on the next morning she found him wWting outside the store He follower

 her i'll, made purchase, addressed few conventional remarks to her. He came again and again. He always treated her with respect, and, though her fear of him was instinctive, grad ually he scraped an acquaintance with her He was well-to-do, and. though she did not love him, she felt that here, at least, was the chance of salvation from her laborious lot.
 Then, on the preceding Sunday, he had told her something which filed her with humiliation and shame. He was married he said. His wife and he had been separated for years, but he could not divorce her What did that matter. as long as they loved each other? He would not press her for her decision but would wait for her outside the store on Wednesday night. Then she could give him his answer.
 Lisette had torn herself away and fled from him. All that night she wept lying sleepless in her bed In the little hall room of her boarding house.
 On Wednesday he met her outside the store that night, and she greeted him icily. She did not order him away, but walked beside him, thinking, think ing hard. She turned toward him pres ently, her eyes brimmng with tears.
 God forgive me, l am too weak to say what I should say she said. Have pity on me and leave me. Help me against myself.'
 He drew her into the shelter of a doorway and pleaded with her She felt the last atom of her strength leav- ing her.
 "Wintergreen Sweet wintergreen cried voice beside her.

And suddenly the past year was plotted from her mind. In St. Joachim woods the wintergreen was bearing fruit aqain And Andre was waiting, as he had sworn to wait.
 "Goodby," she said, looking at him steadily. q am going home. l shall never see you again" And something in her voice told him that her resolve was inexorabIe.
