CHAPTER III. }

One naturef In the fifth year Of their
married life thoughts Of her and Of the
poignant and tremendous adventure on
which they were embarked together
were no longer possible while she lay In
bed beside him. They had come to oc-
cupy separate rooms.
In the fifth year of their married life
measles visited Penny Green. Mabel
caught 1t. Sabre went to sleep In an
other room-and the arrangement pre-
vailed. Nothing was said between them
on the matter, one way or the other.
They naturally occupied different rooms
during her Hines. She recovered They
continued to occupy different rooms. 1t
was the most natural business In the
world.
The sole reference to recognition of
permanency ia this development Of the
relations between them was made when
Sabre, on the first Saturday afternoon
after MabeIs recOvery-he did not go
to his office at Tidborough on Satur-
days-carried at out his idea, conceived
during her sickness, of making the bed
room into which he had moved serve
as his study also. He had never got rid
Of his distaste for his den"
At lunch on this Saturday, 81 tell you
he said. I'm going to move my books
up into my ROOM"
Mabel displayed no interest In the move
nor made any reference to 1t at tea
time. In the evening, hearing her pass
the door, he called her in.
He was in his SHIRT sleeves, arrang-
Ing the books. There you are! Not
bad?"
She regarded them and the room. "They
look all right. All the same. must
say It seems rather funny using your
bedroom downstairs"
II.
But the significance of the removal
rested not In the definite REIMBURSEMENT
of. the den, but in her words using your
BEDROOM" the definite recognition Of
separate rooms.
And neither commented upon It.
After all, landmarks, In the course of
a journey, are more frequently observed
and noted as landmarks, when looking
back along the journey than when ac-
tually passing through them.

them specially for you for this room.
You haven't got any slippers like that"
He gazed upon the heels down
trodden by her heavy father. lie did
not much like her heavy father. "No,
haven't" he said, and thought grimly,
Thank God"
Mabel opened the kitchen door The
masters come to see how nice the kitchen
looks
Two maids in black dresses and m
extraordinary amount Of stiffly starched
aprons and caps and streamers rose
awkwardly and bobhed awkward little
bows One was very tall. the other rather
short. Mabel looked from the girls 10
Mark and from Mark TO the girls, pre-
cisely as II she were exhibiting rare
specimens to her husband and her hus-
band to her rare specimens. And in the
tone OF one exhibiting pinned. dried, and
completely impersonal specimens, shs
announced, They're sisters. Their name
is links"
Mark, examining 4he exhibits, had
been feeling like a fool. Their name
humanlzed them and relieved his awk-
ward feeling. "Ha! links, Ell? High
links and Low links, what?" He
aughed. It struck him as rather comic;
and High Jinks and Low links Uttered
| broadly, losing In the most astonishing
way the one her severity and the other
her guinness.
Mabel seemed suddenly to have lost her
interest in her exhibits and their cage
She rather hurried Mark through the
kitchen premises and moving into the
garden, replied rather abstractedly to
his plans for the gardens development
Suddenly she said, Mark, 1 do wish
you hadn't said that in the kitchen"
He caught his arm around her and gave
her a playful squeeze. About High
links and Low Jinks? Hal Dashed
funny that, don't you Think"
NO, I don't. I don't think it's a bit
funny"
He stared, puzzled. He had tried to
explain the absurd thing, and she simply
could not see it, 81 simply don't"
And again that vague and transient
discomfort shot through him.
Nv.
Sabre awOke In the course OF that night
and lay awake. The absurd incident
came Immediately into his mind and re-
manned in his mind. High links and
Low links was comic. No getting over
It. S.'uid Of course but Just the kind
OF stupid thing that tickled him irresls-
tibly- And she couldn't see it. Absolute

IF the women's clubs accomplished
nothing else within the next ten years,
they Will have done an inestimable serv-
ice to the Nation IL through their innu-
ence they can reduce the number Of chill
dren to each teacher TO not more than
twenty. According to Mrs. Marietta
Johnson Of Fairh0pe, Alabama, this is one
Of the most important problems to be
met with In the present day methods OF
education. With the crowded condition
which exists in almost every schoolroom,
Il Is impossible for the teacher to de-
velop the pupil 10 the best OF his ability.
she believes. In addition to this, the
system Of promotion or failure under
which the pupil works Is detrimental to
his best interests because It defeats the
idea OF letting him live completely To-
day Mrs. Johnson contends that in
our schools the work Of one year IS
looked upon simply as preparatory to that
Of the year to come. with the result that
the pupil falls below the requirements
Of the school, develops nerves and Is
otherwise harmed rather than helped by
his work. She believes that no definite
requirement should be made Of the child
but that instedd the school should strive
to meet his needs, that there should be
no failures. but a constant effort to pro-
duce a sound body, a sympathetic, intel
ligent mind. and a sincere spirit.
In the school which Mrs. Thhnson
founded fifteen years ago in Fairhope
she has carried ont the work according
to these ideas, and her work IS Endorsed
by John Dewey, professor of psychology
al Columbia University and many other
promoters Of education. She addressed
the members Of the Womans Rotary
Club at their luncheon Monday at the
Claypool Hotel, and will give a series Of
lectures this week at All Saints Unitarian
Church, under the auspices OF II. L. Graf.
Mrs Louis J. Baker and Butler College.

CHAPTER Y.

The Penny Green Garden House De.
velopment Scheme was begun In 1910
In 1908, the year Of the measles and the
separated bedrooms, no shadow of II
had yet been thrown. 1t never occurred
to any one that railway would one day
link Penny Green with Tldborough and
all the rest Of the surrounding world
or that a railway to Tfdborough was de-
sirabIe. Sabre bicycled In daily to For
tune, East and Sabre's, and the daily
ride to and fro had become a curious
pleasure to him.
There had once occurred to him as he
rode, and thereafter had persisted and
accumulated, the feeling that, On the
daily, solitary passage between Tldbor-
ough and Penny Green, he was mysteri-
ously detached from, mysteriously sus-
pended between, the two centers that
were his two worIds-his business world
and his home world.
Fortune, East and Sabre, Ecclesiastical
and Scholastic Furnishers and Designers
had in Tidborough what Is called in
business and professional circles, good
address.
The address Of Fortune, East and Sabre
was emphatically a good address because
it's business was with. the Church and
for the Church; with colleges, universities
and schools and for colleges, universities
and schools; with bishops, priests and
clergy, churchwardens, headmasters
"Reminiscences, governors and bursars,
and for bishops, priests and clergy,
churchwardens, headmasters, headmis-
tresses, governors and bursars.
It's address was The Precincts-For-
tune, East and Sabre, the Precincts, It'd

Business-on credit only-was conduct

carnations, delivered with much excite
ment, are Introductory to matters con-
sidered extraordinary. Their users
might therefore be imagined somewhat
easily astonished. But they have a com
pensatory steadiness OF mind in regard
to much that mystifies other people. To
Mabel there was nothing mysterious in

these things. One was born, one lived

pert.
Which Is 8 pity because Mrs. Herrod
understands chess and she and Jack
swap problems. Since she can't belong to
the chess club, 1t being for men, Jack
takes his big discoveries to her. And

scattered; outbreaks Of the severe form
of smallpox have been reported from
Chicago and other widely separated
points
For a number of years the disease has
been more or less of a harmless variety.
Occasionally a severe case Of smallpox
has developed, but as a rule the disease
has appeared in so mild a form that
physicians have had difficulty in recog
nizing it,
AS a result. the public has almost
forgotten its old dread of this historic
scourge.
Vaccination made smallpox almost OBJ
solete. Yet carelessness and a feeling
of undue security may bring 1t back.
This because people put off getting vac
cinated or are altogether Indifferent.
Vaccination is not dangerous. More
than 100000 were vaccinated in this
country in the two years before the war
without a single death.
Since vaccination is the only preventive
Of smallpox, it is essential that one
should be vaccinated early in life.
A baby should be vaccinated in its first
year and again at the age Of six.
