CHAPTER II
Nurse Sarah's Story.

And this Is Nurse Saran'S story.
AS I said, I'm going to tell 1t
straight through as near as can in
her own words. And I can remember
most Of 1t, think, for paid very close
attention.
'.Well, yes, Miss Mary Marie, things
did begin to change right there an
then, an so you could notice it. We
saw it, though maybe your pa an ma
didn't at the first.
"You see, the first month after she
came, it was vacation time, an he
could give her all the time she wanted.
An she wanted it all. An she took
1t. An he was just as glad to give
1t as she was to take it. An so from
mornin' till night they was together,
traipsin' all over the house an garden.
an trampin' off through the woods and
up on the mountain every other day
with their lunch.
'You see she was city-bred, an not
used to woods an flowers CROWN

He showed her the stars, too, through
his telescope; but she hadn't mite Of
use for them, an let him see it good
an plain. She told him-I heard her
with my own ears-that his eyes, when
they laughed, was all the 'tars she
wanted; an that she'd had stars all

dinner, anyway, an all the time be,
tween: an rhe'd rather have some
thin else, now-somethin' alive, that
she could love an live with an touch
an play with, like she could the flow
ers an rocks and grass an trees.
"Angry? Your pa? Not much he
was! He just laughed an caught her
round the waist an kissed her, an
said she herself was the brightest star
Of all. Then they ran off hand in hand,
like two kids, too. All through those
first few weeks your pa was just a
great big baby with new plaything.
Then when college began he turned all
at once into full-grown man. An
Just naturally your ma didn't know
what to make Of 1t.
HE couldn't explore the attic an

bother your little head over now. Wait

Till I'm older, indeed! How I hate
to have folks talk to me like that!
And they do-they do it all the time.
AS if I was a child now, when I'm
almost standing there where the brook
and river meet!
But that was just the kind OF talk
got, everywhere, nearly every time
asked any one what divorce was.
Some lncshed, and some sighed. Some
looked real worried cause I'd asked
It, and one got mad. (That was the
dressmaker. I found out aftesward
that she'd had a divorce already, Sc
probably she thought I asked the ques-
ton on purpose to plague herr But
nobody would answer me-realiy an
swer me sensibly, so I'd know what 1t
meant; and most everybody sa1d'
"Run away, child" or "You shouldn't
talk. of such things" Or, "Wait, my
dear, till you're older"; and all that.

Secretary Hoover at present mas
no specific power in the granting ot

The only objection to the meas

to bring al out this result.
II only one opportunity presents
itself to him. and IL this oppor.
tunity has. as 1t were, only one

that one hair.
Further he often brings about,
unconsciously or not, propitious
circumstances.
He who. on the contrary.

He might find himself in the

Do not blame fate for failure;
you have only yourself to blame.
POWER OF IMAGINATION.
People are always preaching
the doctrine of effort. but this
idea must be repudiated. Effort
means will, and will means the
possible entrance Of the imagina-
tion in opposition. and the bring
ing about of the exactly contrary
result to the desired one.
Study the following principle,
which in substance have out

understanding and application may
depend your success or failure:
When the Will and the Imag-
ination are in conflict, Il is
always the Imagination which
wins.
Such a case is only too fire.
quent. and then not only do
we not do what We want, but
just the contrary of what we
want.
For example. the more we
try to go to sleep. the more we
try to remember the name of
some one. the more we try to
stop laughing, the more we try
to avoid an obstacle, while
thinking that we can not do so,
the more exciteo we become,
the less we can remember the
name. the more uncomfortable
our laughter becomes, and the
more surely we rush upon the
obstacle.
MANS GREATEST FACULTY.
1t is then the Imagination
and not the Will which is the
most important faculty OF man;
and thus it is a serious mistake
to advise people to train their
Wills: it is the training Of their
Imaginations which they ought
to set about.
BY believing oneself to be the
master of ones thoughts, one
becomes so.
Always think that what you
have to do is easy, if possible.
