Lucia walked on the stage. She

an accustomed thing, she glanced in
differently into the packed masses and
bowed and then she saw Lawrence's
face, and he might have been her sole
auditor, for everybody else was"but a

How she stumbled through her part
she never knew. But when the eur

I.awrence's eyes looking into her own,
and the old spell was on her, and she
hurried to her dressing room, avoiding
the anxious questions Of her friends.
She found him ut the stage door,
and because there was nothing to be
said she took him by the arm and led
him back upon the darkened stage.

Lucia Clay kissed her warmly and

TN THE Middle Ages, when most of
the houses were built of wood, It
became a custom for the watch to
20 about after shutdown ringing a bell
as a sign for all folk to cover their
fires and go to bed. This precautiOn
was necessary to prevent the danger
from fire. The name "Curfew" is de-
rived from the French couvre feu
(cover-fre). 1t was introduced int
England by William the Conqueror
though the custom prevailed in Eu-
rope long before.

VAIN LITTLE CRICKET.

NNE night q little Cricket was
~ singing loudly when a Toad
which had been doing by the
trunk OF a tree said: "Oh, do be
quiet! I never heard such a noise as
you and your family make"
VERY true" replied the little crea-
ture. 'for u family are, of course,
the best singers In the world. We
can make a great noise, as you have
said"
but that does not make you the
best singers in the world" replied the
Toad. "Did you never hear the birds
singing In the trees, silly %creature?"
why should I listen to the birds
when ] can sing better than they do?"
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1922-11-09

asked the Cricket. "Just listen now.
Our family are tuning up and l am
sure birds could not sing louder"
IF you would take the trouble to
listen some time when the birds are
singing In the daytime | am sure you
would not be so vain" said the Toad.
"Ah, there you are!" exclaimed the
Cricket. in the daytime you say
why do the birds not sing at night, |
ask you, my friend? I will tell you
because they dare not compare voices
with my family; that Is why. We can
outsing them and they do not wish TO
let everyone know that the Crickets
have the best voices"
