| How fitting then that man,
when the fullneSs of his years
has passed, should fade as fades
the flower in the mellowness of
the autumn sun.
What a beautiful thing it is TO
be allowed 10 live in this world
for nearly n century. To see the
changing seasons and the pass
ing of the old, the coming IN of
the new, so many golden years.

The passing of this grand ole
man brings very forcibly 10 oul
minds the following lines:
Passing out of the shadow
Into a purer light,
Stepping behind the curtain,
Getting a clearer sight.
Laying aside the burdens,
This weary mortal coil:
Done with the worlds vexations,
Done with its tears and toll.
Tired of all earth's playthings,
Heart sick and ready to sleep,
Ready to bid his friends farewell,
Wondering why they weep.
Passing out in the shadow
Into eternal day,
Why do we call it dying,
This sweet going away.
: Edna V. Funderburk.

RATHER PUT HIS FOOT IN 1T
Callers Comment on Matter Of Time
Somewhat Embarrassing to
All Parties Concerned.

We had been spending the evening
with acquaintances with whom we
had but little In common. In conse-
quence, the time seemed to drag in
terminably, and when my wife asked
me the time glanced thankfully at
my watch.
The hands Indicated 9:3O. I looked
again, shook 1t and held 1t up to my
ear.
Funny" I muttered, "the darn
thing seems to have stopped. Accord
ing to this it's only 9:30."
The hostess laughed little as she
referred to her watch. "That's ex-
actly the time l have. too, and that's
the time the clock over there on the
piano says. guess maybe"-she
didn't finish. but merely laughed.
Since then when she asks the time,
tell 1t without any comment. It's

RISES IN DEFENSE OF FLlRT
According to English Author, Tickle
ness Is Simply Natural Desire
to Be Liked by All.

II like being adored," she said,
"even though l dislike the person who
adores me-"
"You can express that more simply
by saying, Tn flirt,'" said Philip.
But it's such an ugly word Be-
sides, everyone likes being adored !:
everyone Is a flirt In that sense. It's
only the people who never are adored
who call 1t flirting. They would like
to be adored, but as they can't, they
call the rest Of us rude names. But
it's no use going about trying to be
adored because nobody has the least
idea as to how to set about it. It's
not the least use being kind and hon
est and amiable, for that only makes
you mildly popular, while the most
disagreeable people get worshlped.
And 1t isn't any good being beautiful,
I dare say beauty hurries people up,
because there is obviously something
rather attractive about it, but it's not
n bit of good by itself. Perhaps
brains have got something to do with
1t, or is there sixth sense which d.
rects it allY"-From Lovers and

of his convalescence' Martin need not
necessarily suffer.
Another day or two went by In the
silent, rain-wrapped house under the
trees; days Of quiet footsteps and
whispering, and the lisping of wood
fires. Then Martin suddenly was con-
scious, knew his life, languidly smiled
at her, thanked the doctors for Oc-
casional ease from pain.

Peter. They marveled among them
selves that he knew that Alix was
gone. But to Cherry, in one of the
long hours that she spent sitting be-
side him and holding his big. weak,
strangely white hand, he explained
one day. II knew she was killed." he
said, out Of silence. II thought we
both were!"
"How did she ever happen to do it?"
Cherry said. "She was always SO sure
of herself-even when she drove fast I"

was all like q flash, of course! i
never watched her drive-I had such
confidence in her"
His interest dropped :. she saw that
the tide of pain was slowly rising
again, and glanced at the clock. It
was two; he might not have relief
until four. In his own eyes she saw
reflected the apprehension Of her own.
"You might ask Peter to play some
of that-that rambly stuff he was
playing yesterday" he suggested.
Cherry, only too happy to have him
want anything, to have him helped by
anything, flew to find 1eter. Busy
with one of the trays that were really
beginning to interest and please the
invalid now, she told herself that the
house was different place, now that
one nurse was gone, the doctors COM
ing only for brief calls, and the dear,
familiar sound Of the old piano echo
ing through the rooms.
Martin came from the fiery furnace
changed in soul and body. 1t was a

who was propped in bed for his
Thanksgiving dinner, and whose pain
worn face turned with an appreciative
smile to the decorations and the gifts
that made his room cheerful.
The heavy cloud lightened slowly
but steadily; Martin had long talk,
dreaded by Cherry from the first hours
Of the accident, with his physicians
He bore the ultimatum with unex-
pected fortitude

smile.

Late that evening, when Martin was
asleep. Cherry came noiselessly from
the sick-room, to find Peter alone in
the dimly lighted sitting room. He
glanced at her, feeling rather than
hearing her presence, and called her.
