Vacation, in spite of increased leis-

in Ramsey's strange but not uncom-
mon condition At home his constant
air was that of a badgered captive

when asked where he was gOing-an
inquiry addressed to him, he asserted,

then felt disgraced by having fallen
Into this class; for sometimes it was
apparent that Albert casually had his

Ramsey somewhat, but terrified him

Usually the quartet had no destina-

then, presently, Ramsey and Milla
were at the latter's gate: He went in
with her, halting at the front steps.
"Well, g'night, Milla," he said.
"Want to go out walking tomorrow
night? Albert and Sadie are"
II can't tomorrow night" she told
him with obvious regret. isn't 1t the
worst luck j got an aunt comm to
visit from Chicago, and she's crazy

mama and papa said haf to stay In
to make four to play it. She's liable
to be here three or four days, and /
guess I got to be around home pretty
much all the time she's here. It's the
worst luck!"
He was doleful, but ventured to be
literary. "Well, what can't be helped
must be endured TIL come around
when she's gone"
He moved as II to depart, but she
still retained his arm and did not pre-
pare to relinquish 1t.
"Well-" he said.
"Well what, Ramseyf"
"Well-gnight."
She glanced up at the dark front
Of the house. II guess the family's
gone to bed" she said absently.
Il s'pose So"
"Well, good night, Ramsey She
said this, but still did not release his
arm, and suddenly, in a f1uster, he felt
that the time he dreaded had come.
Somehow, without knowing where, ex-
cept that 1t was somewhere upon what
seemed to be blurred face too full
of obstructing features, he kissed her.
She turned instantly away in the
darkness, her hands over her cheeks;
and in panic Ramsey wondered If he
hadn't make a dreadful mistake.
"S'cuse me!'' he said, stumbling to-
ward the gate. well, / guess got
to be gettin' along back home"
He woke in the morning to great
self-loathiag: he had kissed a girl.
Mingled with the loathing was curl
GUS pride in the very fact that caused
the loatlling. but the pride did not last
long He came dowl,stsirs morbid to
isreaf.fss1. and continued this mood
arterwurd nj noon Albert 1a1ton
brought him q note which Mila had
asked Sadie to ask Albert to give him.
''Deaiie: am just wondering II
you thought as much about something
SO sweet that happened last night as
l did you know what. think 1t was
the sweetest thing. send you one
with this note and l hope you will
think 1t Is sweet one. l would give
you real one If you were here now

It will be all right. aunt Jess will be

said about my putting something
sweet in this note, and hope you will
think 1t is a sweet one but not as
sweet as the real sweet one ! would
like to-
At this point Ramsey inpuisively
tore the note into small pieces. He
turned cold as his Imagination pro-
jected a shctch of his mother in the

CHAPTER v.

The next morning Ramsey came into
his fathers room while Mr.. MilhOlland
was shaving, an hour before church
time. and It became apparent that the
son had something on his mind, though
for while he said nothing.
"Did you want anything, Ramsey7"
"Well-"
"Didn't want to borrow my razors?"
''No. sir"
Mr.. MilhOlland chuckled. 81 hardly
supposed SO seriously! Shaving Is a
great nuisance and the longer you keep

Mr.. Milholland turned from his mir
ror and looked over the edge Of a
towel at his son. In the boys eyes
there was such dumb agony Of inter-
rogation that the father was a little
startled.
"Why. what Is 1t, Ramsey? Have
you" He paused, frowning and Won
dering. "You haven't been getting In
to some mess you want to tell me
about, have your"
''No, sir"
His tone was meek, but mute dis
tress lurked within it, bringing to the
fathers mind disturbing suspicious,
and foreshadowings Of Indignation and
Of pity. "See here. Ramsey" he said,

"Weu-it isn't anything"

Ramsey's eyes fell before the severe
and piercing gaze Of his father. "Yes
SIR"
Mr.. Milholland shook his head doubt
fully; then, as his son walked slowly
out Of the room, he turned to complete
his toilet In somewhat uneasy frame
of mind Ramsey had undoubtedly
wanted to say something to him and
the boys expression had shown that
the matter in question was serious.
distressing. and. 1t might be, critical.
In fact 1t was-to Ramsey. Having
begun within only the last few hours
to regard haberdashery as Of vital i'm
portance, and believing his father to
be possessed Of the experience and au-
thority lacking in himself, Ramsey had
come to get him to settle question
which had been upsetting him badly,
IN his own room. since breakfast. What
he wanted to know was: Whether it
was right to wear an extra handker-
chief showing out Of the coat breast
pocket or not. and. if it was right
ought the handkerchief to have a col
ored border or to be plain white? But
he had never before brought an.- such

breathlessly. II got a favor. I want

CANADA'S SALES A

~ ANADA which is framing new revenue leg
islation to increase her national income so
as TO attack the war debt problem with new
vigor. aud to protect her own industry more
effectually, will not only retain her general
sales tax, but will increase il by fifty per cent.
This seems TO answer assertions that have been
made that the tax was intensely unpopular in
Canada and was doomed to discard. Unpor'
uiar il may be. but so are all the taxes. and Can
ada 5 determination to continue and increase II
must be founded on the idea that. in compare
son with other imposts that could be levied.
10 is more cficacious as a revenue producer and
less burdcnsome on the producing and consum-
ing interests. II is a system that will merit in
creasingly close study in this country, where
the need of new sources of revenue is becoming
more apparent as old taxes stop their yield or
become intolerable.

holds virtually the balance Of power in the
parliament at Ottawa, and has r lch in theory
and practice in common with our own farm

Nearly all accidents are the result Of care.
demonstrating needless chances in the face of
danger.
Obviously, then, nearly all accidents could
be prevented. The prevention of accidents, ac-
cording to safety engineers, is about half safety
devices and half personal caution.
II is now % years since DR.. William H.. Toll
man returned from Germany, where he had
been studying accident prevention, and start.
ed the Safety First movement in our country.
That movement has worked wonders. For
one thing. il has reduced railroad deaths to a
third of what they were in 1907.
The trouble with the Safety First movement
always has been that il is spasmodic. Be
tween celebrations. the public gets lulled into
carelessness, then accidents burst forth again
on a big scale and another safety movement is
started.
To keep the Safety First fires burning con.
stantly, several hundred prominent citizens
have just formed a national Society for Pre-.
veniion Of Accidents.
To help in this movement and protect your
own life and body, you merely have 10 observe
two simple rules. First, keep your eyes open.
Second, be cautious, a no chances.

HOW TO GET KILLED

WHENEVER you use a ladder. remember

istence. Ladders continue TO cause more

A MUSCLE SHOALS POLICY

TOR the first time since the Muscle Shoals is
sue came to the front, following Henry
Ford's original offer. there appears TO be
az sinite policy framed in congress fair to all
the competitors and also conserving the public
interest.
Under the plan framed by the house military
committee. all doubt about the fertilizer fea-
ture is eliminated by the provision that the
lessee must engage to manufacture and sell fer
~tilizers throughout the entire period Of the
contract, a minimum output being stipulated.
All the Shoals properties remain suDject to the
absolute right and control of the government
AT all times for the product Of nitrates or other
munitions.
The disposition AT one time manifest in con.
gress 10 swing the entire agricultural interest
behind the Ford offer has been largely modi-
fed ON closer analysis Of that proposal. The
Detroit man Is entitled TO the credit Of having
revived interest in the project at a time when
IL seemed. that in a reaction from the wartime
expenditure the government was disposed TO
sacrifice all hitherto spent on the site rather
than to devote another penny TO il. But now
there is competition in the field. with the gov
erament itself possibly disposed to take up
again the work il terms cannot be made with
thc bidders. There is no reason why the inter
ests Of the federal government and of the agri-
cultural community should not be fully safe
guarded in advance by terms which admit no
ambiguity or future disappointment.
