The Way Madgc Found Rest so Far
 As Claire Is Concerned
 If had needed proof of Clairf Fosters essential indifference to Dicky. was given an abundance of 1t when within ten minutes cl our going to bed, her regular and deep breathing told me that she had gone to sleep as peassfnlly as h kitten.
 l knew, of course, that she was ex- hausted with the emotional strain of the preceding hours, but ! knew, also, that no exhaustion would have per- mitted sleep 10 come to her so sud- denly if her affections had been in- volved.
 She is not the type of girl to take things lightly. Under her apparent hardness. her metallic supcrficiality, ] had found a wlrm, ingenious heart. And I realized that once she was ccr- tain of my continued presence in the room with her she had relaxed, had laid down the bristling armor which she had kept between herself and tho captious speculations of those sur rounding her. and had found the rest she so sorely needed.
 But I could not find sleep so cas- fly, forced myself to lie quietly, for fear that restless movement might awaken the girl on the couch across the room, while over me went wave after wave of anger at Dicky. fear that he was no longer mine for either anger or approbation. longing for him, and an agonized, remorseful question ing as to my share of the blame in the rift that had come between us.
 Happy, indeed, should be the wife who never has had such a vigil. In the old Scriptural phrase she should 1 count herself blessed among women" if she never has had occasion to spend the silent hours of the night in tor turing introspection and retrospection such as came to me in that mountain bedroom.
 A Sleepless Night
 At first l kept looking at the rad- iumluminous hands of my wrist-watch to time the passing minutes But when I found that what seemed to me at least an hour of waiting was reg istered on the watch as only seven teen minutes, determined to look at 1t no more. But I could not escape the striking of clock in another part of the building, not strident, in- deed soft-toned, but clearly audible in the deep silence which gave the hours and half hours.
 I noted every one until four strokes told me it was that hour in the morn ing. Then I must have dozed off from sheer exhaustion, for when opened my eyes again the darkness had gone and saw that it was the time in the morning just before the sun comes up, when everything seems most bleak.
 I shivered beneath the coverings, and realized that the room had grown cold. On the foot of my bed was a heavy comforter given me by Mrs Barker for extra cold and another i, lay at the foot of Claire Fosters bed I slipped out of bed, crossed to her, and pulled the quilt up over her with out waking her. Then I dived into my own bed again, shivering violently until the extra warmth afforded by

think of other things, such as lettuce and green peas and tender new bean shoots. By the time the concert was half over he hardly heard the music at all.
 He laughed, however, whenever the musicians stopped playing. He didn't want the Grouse brothers nor the Woodchuck boys. nor the audience either, to think he didn't like the music.
 When the concert was half finished the musicians stopped playing their gay tunes. The first tune of the sec ond half was a very sad one. Every Dog Has, His Day was the name of it. And before it was done good many of the audience were sniveling. In fact almost everybody reached for his pocket-handkerchief
 But Jimmy Rabbit never noticed that. He was thinking about cab bages. He came to his senses, how ever, just as, the drummers and the whistlers reached the end of the piece. And then he burst forth with peal of loud laughter. He knew the next moment, that there was something wrong. Nobody else was laughing. His neighbors on all sides were staring at him coldly. And somebody-he thought it was old Uncle Jerry Chuck-called Order" in harsh voice.
 What's the matter?" Jimmy whis- pered to Frisky Squirrel, who sat be- side him.
 You laughed" Frisky told him. "What were you laughing at? That was a sad tune.''
 Jimmy Rabbit felt very uncom- fortable. He saw that he had blum dered. Indeed he soon discovered that he had broken up the concert. For the musicians refused to play any more. They said that their feelings were hurt.
 Though the whole company, in cluding Jimmy Rabbit himself, beg ged them to go on, they left their seats and wouldn't come back. And they didn't give another concert all the rest of that year. When old MT. Crow heard what had happened he said that 1t was a pity Jimmy Rabbit had stopped with Tonly one singing lesson. |g T couldn't teach him everything in one lesson," MT. Crow declared. "He ought to have taken two. took three, myself, when I was learning to sing" Copyright 1922 by Metropolitan Newspaper Service.)

While tardiness in keeping dinner engagement is rightly considered rude, punctuality at 8 luncheon Is less vital.

A RIGHT AND A WRONG TIME
 FOR EVERYTHING.

The Grouse brothers and the Wood chuck boys were giving one of their famous concerts in the back pasture. The Grouse brothers drummed and the Woodchuck brothers whistled. Il was beautiful music--so everybody said.
 At the beginning of the concert the musicians played gay tunes, such as Money Musk, The Bumblebee in the pumpkin, and Pop Goes the Weasel And after each one was finished the audience laughed heartily. It was
