Newspapers are often blamed for saying so

of his same opinions still. SO n
charming chaperon-friend of his pa
rents called upon them TO let them
know how Charles was acting, hop
ing they could instill some sense into
his opinionated brain before he ran
into real trouble.
Did those parents thank this nice
foolomcter? We should say not.
They told her in few words that they
didn't need her assistance in rear

most OF us aren't politicians.
We all know honest criticism is

CHAPTER XXXIV.
Margaret Enyics Joan Her Courage.

Joan introduced her mother to the
three or four boys and girls waiting
for her, then with many "ohs" and
"ah's" she plunged into the surf.
There was nothing cowardly about
Joan Hayden, either morally or
physically. After the first moment
or two she was jumping the waves
like an oldtimer. instead OF a novice.
Margaret knew she would not be as
brave, and a sort of grudging admi-
ration of her child filled her mind.
Suddenly she knew why she felt as
she did why she grudged Joan her
bravery. u was because ot her youth
which is always courageous. Coura-
geous because It, does not realize

Margaret wished she did not real

in life. She longed inexpressibly to

been sombcr always: like her san

gazed at the laughing, shouting

And she had led this gray, dun
