Protest.

But how can one toll at the great
task with this hurry and tumult of
birds just outside the open window +;
/ hear the thrush, and the blackbird
that romantic liar; then the delicate
cadence, the wiry descending scale of
the willow-wren, or the blackcaps
stave of mellow music All these are
familiar-but what Is that unknown
voice, that thrilling note2 hurry out !;
the voice fees and l follow, and when
I return and sit down again at my
task the yellow-hammer trills his
sleepy song in the MONDAY heat; the
drone of the greenfnch lulls me into
dreamy meditation. Then suddenly
from his tree trunks and forest re-
cesses comes the green wOodpecker,
and mocks at me, an impudent voice
full of liberty and laughter.
Why should all the birds of the air
cOnspire against me? My conscience
is with the sad human species, with
lapsed and erroneous humanity, not
with that inconsiderate, wandering
feather-headed race.-Logan Pearsall

dinner; Abigail had sent word that
the professor would be there and
would Jane please have a prune whip
for dessert, and last of all, Emma called
up to say that she was bringing some
one with her.
Have the best dinner in the world,
darling" she had cooed. You know
howw
Jane looked stormy. She wondered
what her father would have said if
he had been alive-he would have told
her to be patient; it would come out
all right in the end.
81 will cook the dinner" decided
Jane, land it will be a good dinner
then Rebecca can come down and
serve it will run away. l can't
stand the monotony any longer" All
the afternoon she labored over the
preparation of the dinner and the ar
rangement Of the table. When every
thing was ready, only needing Re-
becca's skilled hand in serving the
meal, Jane bathed and dressed herself
in a green linen, took a small, heavily
laden basket and the latest book and
left the house She followed a narrow
path through the orchard where apple
blossoms fell like snow about her;
where robins were throbbing with the
evening song, down the little wood
road that led to the edge of the sandy
bluff overlooking the sound. The wind
was cool and brought odors Of apple
blossoms and the salt SAVIOR of the
sea.
Il feel wicked, but l am quite con-
tented" said Jane as she sat down on
the edge of the overhanging cliff, with
her possessions in her lap. She closed
her eyes a moment, but they popped
open Mt once, for she was in motion!
The turf had broken under her weight,
and she was gently, steadily sliding
down the sand-faced cliff. Many a
time had she done it as a child, squeal-
ing with delight to land among the
sand dunes "a the shore.

NOVEL STYLES IN MALEKULA
Sight Looked More Like Walk
ing Haystacks.

| have never seen human beings
more Wretched than the women of the
Big Numbers tribe on the island of
Malekula in the New Hebrides. At
first sight they looked like walking
haystacks. They wore grass dresses,
consisting of a bushy skirt that hung
from the waist to the knees, a sort OF
widows veil that was thrown over the
head and face so as to leave a tiny
peephOle for the Wearer to look
through, and a long train that hung
down the back nearly to the ground.
A more cumbersome and inSanitary
dress was never devised, says a writer
in an exchange. 1t was heavy. 1t
was hot. Worst of all, it was dirty.
Every one of the dresses was matted
with filth. l did not see a single pig
and there were dozens of them root
ing about inside and outside the
hOuses-that was so dirty as the
women of that village. l afterward
found that for women to wash was
strictly taboo. From birth to death
water never touched their skins!
l got my cameras ready, but the
women hid in the houses and would
not come out to be photographed.
Finally Nagapate, the great chief,
commanded them TO come into the
clearing, and they crept whimpering
out of the little DOORS
Nagapate's wives were as wretched
as any of the other women. We had
heard from the natives at our head
quarters on the island of Vac that
Nagapate had a hundred wives, but
there were only ten of them. We pre-
scented them each with a string of
beads and a small glass jar of cheap
candy. They did not even look at
their gifts. They wanted only to get
the ordeal over and to escape. Dur
ing all our stay in the village the poor
brOwbeaten wretches never got up
enough courage to look at US. Their
lords and masters felt our skins and
our hair and our clothes, examining
us with embarrassing freedom. But
whenever we came upon a woman,
she squatted down and hid her face
behind her grass veil

"O-mercy!" she gasped, as she
gained speed. In a scurry of flying
sand, clutching her basket, book and
sweater to her breast, she tobogganed
down the slope and ran plump into
solitary man who was sitting on the
sands staring at the far horizon.

Dan BartOn-oh, Dannie, do you
remember that, and how you waited
on me hand and foot until 1 was well

now; her clear, pale skin was flushed
like a sea she'll; her loosened hair
framed the exquisite oval of her face,
and her eyes were the color of the
bright blue sky.
Jane Dare! You have grown into

searching her face for traces of the
little playmate. HAS any one ever

Jane blushed still deeper, wondering
why he spoke that way when every
one knew that she was just plain Jane
Dare.
"Sit down and tell me all the news"
he urged, and Jane did so, hardly able
to meet his intense blue gaze. No man
had ever looked at her in that way be-
fore, but she had seen the minister
look at Celia, and Abigails professor.
Suddenly she felt sorry for them all.

she exclaimed penitently; and she told
him the whole story while they en-
joyed the lunch she had brought in the
basket. Dan told her how he had
planned to spend the summer with his
mother in the old house, and how he
would commute to and from the city.

he told her as they went slowly

coming had brought about this trans
formation.

Plain
Jane Dare
BY ROSE MEREDITH

oc~o~o-c-c~c-c~c-S'A~c
g, 1922, by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.
Jane Dare is the plain one of the
family" people usually remarked when
the question of beauty arose. Celia
is lovely, Abigail is fascinating, Emma
is Il little witch-but poor Jane with
her brilliant hair and dull eyes is hope
lessly plain!'
Jane knew it, and resented it, but
kept her hurt feelings Rugged to her
own bosom. If one cared enough about
her to unlock the plain portals of her
heart and soul-So be it! She was
the middle one of the family of four
mOtherless girls, and she was the
housekeeper, the home maker The
others had careers. Jane couldn't be
spared for career.
Celia had a voice-Celia was musi-
cal-she had worshipers by the dozen.
Abigail was high school teacher, and
Emma was a trained nurse.
Jane is a wonderful cOOk-a per-
feet housekeeper!" Celia would praise
Wonderful :" Abigail would echo.
! 'Perfect!' chimed Emma
Jane was happy most of the time
but she did long to do things-great
things-meet interesting people; some
times she thought wistfully she might
have been writer, if she had had a
chance for development. However,
she did sell some recipes, and carefully
prepared articles on home making to
some of the wOmcn'S magazines, and
her prestige rose in the family.
One winter Celia became engaged to
the minister. Shortly after that Abb
gail attracted the attention of Pro-
fessor Rodney of a nearby college, and
Emma might have married any one of
her patients any day!
Jane would make some man a
splendid wife and housekeeper-she is
wonderful" Celia would sigh.
Wonderful" Abigail and her pro-
fessOr would echo.
Perfect" Emma would add, thus
placing her laurel wreath on James
red hair.
Rubbish" Jane would groan dis
mally.
Today Jane was in a state of in
ward revolt. Celia had telephoned that
she would bring the minister home to

HAS TWO DISTINCT ATTRACTIONS

The search for gold, placed as it is
by the Creator in the most out-of-the-
way hiding spots, has always been a
fascinating pursuit and fruitful theme
for stories of romance and adventure.
The pioneers of civilation have in al
most every case been treasure seekers.
The early explorers of this continent
were actuated by the lure of gold. The
first trails of our own West were blaz-
ed by prospectors.
So lnsistent has been the call to
hardy spirits that one would think that
there are no places left that have not
been thoroughly combed by them, but
such is not the case. Zane Grey, the
distinguished novelist, has shown in
his story, Desert Gold, that the arid
regions of our own Southwest and in
Mexico there is still an abundance OF
danger, romance and adventure The
story is not alone attractive as a mar
rative of gold seeking, but it sets forth
the lure of the Notwithstanding myster-
ious desert.
The story presents tragedies of the
desert and also describes recent up
rising on the border. 1t contains fights
with rebels and bandits and many other
stirring incidents in which figure set
tiers, Mexicans, soldiers, cowboys and
Indians. The cowboys contribute con-
siderable humor and through the mar
rative runs very captivating love
story. We have arranged to print this
very interesting novel seriallY in The
Herald. Do not miss the opening in
stallment.
