them pass haughtily by each other,
Rose Mary with the slightest inclina-
ton of her fair head and Anthony
with the stiff removal of his hat.
''If they would only look at each
other just once" groaned Miss
Amanda that March morning as she
shot glance over toward Rose Mary's
big square white house, which stood
between the two big Harper houses on
the main street. She was looking to
see if old black Amos was clearing
the snow from Rose MaryS walks,
but the level stretch was unbroken.
Something must have happened to
Amos, for he was most faithful, and
it had always happened that when
ever Anthony reached the end of his
own sidewalk, Rose Mary's would be
cleared so he could proceed straight
on to Aunt Emmeline's and clean that
off. He might have hired the work
done, but he really liked the exer-
else.
Anthony, booted and muffled for the
work, went out with his snow shovel.
AS he sh0veled the fleecy Wilderness
and the blood went tingling through
his veins, old dreams came a-troubling
him. If he and Rose Mary had mar
ried, they would have been living in
Rose Mary's house and their children
might have been playing in this very
snow! At this moment, Anthony dug
so viciOusly into the snow that he
caught the shovel >On the pickets Of
the iron fence and split it badly. His
first thought was to go back for the
other SHOVEL, then after he had gone
a dozen PAGES he retraced his step
and went on shoyeling, and that mo-
ment OF indeCisiOn changed his whole
life.
Driven by the anguished memories
and bitter remorse that he had not
BUNDLED himself to the ground to
keep his beautiful love, the man
worked furi0gsly. half blinded by the
mist before his eyes, for an hour he
sliaycIeG, forgetting that he had NOT
crossed the stretch between his house
and Rose M&rys.
Threc women watched him breath
leSsly.

LAID CURSE ON THE BIRDS
Legend Tells How churchman
Ascribed Evil Influences to the
Singers, and Banished Them.

In the days of the crusades when
that Bernard who wrote the hymn
"Jesu the Very Thought of Thee"
was the greatest man in Europe the
monks Of Himmerade in the Upper
Moselle valley on the Rhine were ac-
cused Of leading wicked lives. Bernard
went to rebuke the sins which were
making the country notorious, but
found he could accomplish nothing. 1t
was a great country for singing birds,
for it was just at the mating season
Of the year, and after consideration
the good man decided that the songs
Of the birds were leading the monks
into wrong. So out he went into the
fields and woods, and cursed the poor
birds, ordering them to be banished.
Then, so the story goes, the monks be-
came good and led holy lives as they
had promised. But the abbess of q
large convent on the island of Studen
heard Of the curse, and plying the
poor birds induced them to come and
live near her establishment. Then the
IODlIS, ulShllhSdlcS anu ldlhS Setlleu
and sang. But to the nuns their sing
ing was of heavenly not earthly love,
and led them on to nobler, Sweeter
lives, for to the pure all things are
pure. This continued for a time until
the evil once again brought temptation
and the Studen convent became noted
for its evil as it had been before and
was pulled down because of the bad
example. But it IS very likely that
the birds had but little to do with it in
either case. At any rate that is the
tale they tell you there to this day,
says the Montreal Family Herald.

BE FRANK.

TT ALWAYS pays to be frank.
But it IS just as important that
one be frank with himself as with
others. Too many are unappreciative
Of the privilege Of having others help
bear their burdens. If they recog-
nized the happiness and benefit which
is certain to come through a frank
statement of the true conditions
which cause them worry, a great
many would gladly face the world
openly and find 1t always anxious to
help them through rough pathways.
Stevenson, doubtless, had this in
mind when he declared:
II we find but one to whom we can
speak our hearts freely, with whom we
can walk in love and simplicity without
discrimination, We have no ground for
Guarrels with the world or with God
1t Is doubtful If anyOne-regard-
less of their position socially and
ttnancially-is without one sincere
friend or more in whom he can place
absolute confidence. To such friends
there is certain to come feeling Of
sympathy for those they love in event
they are familiar with the problems
causing unhappiness and pain. If
everyone, when in trouble, would go
10 such friends and frankly state their
position and the difficulties with
which they are faced, it is more than
probable that the response would be
immediate and sure But. by eva
sion, Indifference and deceit, no one
is likely to gain the sympathy and
aid of those who can do most to make
their burdens light.
1t IS folly to go about constantly
complaining and making life miser
able for oneself as well as everyone
with whom he comes in contact. Most
of the difficulties are of each indi-
viduafS own making and the remedy
rests almost entirely with the indi-
vfdual who suffers or thinks he does.
But there are times in every ones life
when he needs and deserves the com
fOrting sympathy and aid of friends.
And 1t is at such time that no one
should hesitate to come out in the
open and request the helpful cooper
alton required. But at such times
lack of franl1ness is a serious handl-
cap to the working out of plans which
will clear the pathways Of disturbing
rocks
No one is perfect. True friends
will forgive missteps and help one to
follow the happy path. But little help
can come when one lacks frankness
with himself and those whose aid he
seeks

So away went the Wind brothers to
the top Of a mountain and for days
they left the fault-finding Weather
cock to get along as best it could, for,
Of course, it did not know that the
Wind brothers made 1t possible for it
to see all around the world.
SO there it stood on the pole quite

very meek, indeed
Eyes. Misty Cloud" 1t said. tell the

Little Misty Cloud flOated off to the
mountain, where the Wind brothers
were now asleep in a gulch, and awak-
ened them. Get up" it said. 1.-The
WeathercOck wants you to come back.
It Is tired Of standing still"
Up jumped the Wind brothers with
a roar; down the valley they ran, and
in a few minutes Weathercock was
swinging merrily, as the Wind broth
ers blew 1t first one way and then
another, but never again did it COM
plain of their rude manners or that
1t wished to be still.
Though the Wind brothers did not
make any remark about being sent
away, they blew their hardest, and if
WeathercOck tail feathers had not
been made of tin 1t would not have
had one feather left when at last the
Wind brothers ran away to their
mountain bed to rest.

ENIMELINE

FMMELINE is another of the fem
- mime names produced from the
root Anal, of which Amelia has been
discussed. But Emmeline. which has
often been enormously confused as a
derivative of Emma, has an interest
ing history. The name which is
translated to mean work serpent"
has no connection other than by SINH
larity of letters, with Emma, which
means grandmother.
Emmeline came into existence
through the queens of Navarro and
the AsturiaS. The sister of Sancho
l of Navarro, who married AlphOnse
the Great, was called Amelina. But
the ladies of Navarro were not con-
tent with a single name-they must
have equivalents. SO Amelina was
also Sfmena and Ximena.
Nimena survived the longest of any
of her other names and came to be
popular in all classes. The wife of
the Cid was so called but the French
turned her into Chimene. The English
promptly called this strange name
Emmeline, and even France now has
an Emeline. The form Emylyn, which
appears in old ballad poetry, is iden-
teal with Emmeline.
The latter name is a bit long for
Americans, and though 1t is properly
given in baptism, it, unfortunately,
too quickly degenerates into the
handy "Emmy"-which is no name

Jasper is Emmeines talismanic
gem. This brilliant green stone will
drive away evil spirits and prevent

Miss Amanda saw him when he re-

Rose Mary watched him with shin

north wind into rosy bushes. "Ah,
TOny-TOny, you must care a little!"
she whispered as he went on toward
his aunt'S house.
At last he stopped. He thought he
was getting cold, for never had he
been so tired after shoveling off the

Aunt Emmeline, and plodded on to-
