According to a report given out by
Professor III. E. Simpson Of the
weather bureau OF the University Of
North Dakota, September II is con-

Though no definite word regarding

Earliest Recorded Frost.
The earliest date Of the last killing
frost In spring according to the re-
port is April 90, 1896, and the latest
date in June IA, 1908. This gives a
range of 55 days between the earliest
and the latest date Of the latest kills
ing frost in the spring. The average
date is May ID. The earliest date of
the first killing frost of autumn is
September 9, 1917, and the latest
date is October Is, 1900. The average
date Is September "a. The longest in
teryal between killing frosts was 100
days in 1900 and the shortest was 100
days in 1877. The average interval is
131s days.

"Oh, no, MollieI"

remembered, harmless little games
which could be played by few peo-

participants were so congenial and
noisy and made so merry that, before
long, Florence was unable to avoid
the impression that, whether she liked
it or not. she was giving quite

At times the noted eyes of Atwater

common derision of the outsider on the
porch: and even ut distance they
still contrived to make themselves in

shoulders, at intervals, with say-not-so

these faces were far enough away to

mother. "Fm afraid you play too

Thereupon, Patty sat between them
on the steps, "This is per-fckly

"Well, pray kindly excuse mel"
said Miss Atwater; and she added
that she would neither sit on the
