wrong in a love affair had embit-
tered him, however, and caused his
misanthropical retirement into his USE
less obscurity. Reacting against So
ciety, he had more and more turned his
thoughts inward and inclosed himself
in a shell Of selfishness. He was the
sole inhabitant of his little world and
charity was his servant; the only needs
he really believed in were his own
needs; to their supply and protection
his means were consecrated.
But now McKeefrey was strangely
interested. Something of old sympathy
and youthful feeling stirred in his
crusty heart. He was touched by the
thought of boyish anticipations and
afraid for the disappointments that he
foresaw. He remembered that once
his own heart had been warm and
hopeful, that he had made effort for
good and sent out dreams into the
future. There came back to him a
sense Of the bitter and blighting frost
that had chilled and deadened him, and
there sighed in his soul faint hope
that happiness might visit him again
in his effort to bestow it upon others.
| It seemed a sweet and desirable thing
to him to honor the faith that was
causing Tim to reach out into the
world for blessing.
!, SO it was that there were signs of
strange activity about McKeefrey's
house and mysterious. arrivals at Nc
Cann's house. And when, on Christ

the very liberal response that Santa
Claus had made to their specifications,

It was Tins first step In science, but
he went good deal farther than that.
Now he can put you into real commune

change Of heart that came to old Mr..
McKeefrey.

! Athena-Prince Andrew OF Greece,
brother of the deposed King Constant
tine, was sentenced to lifelong exile
and military degradation for having
disobeyed orders during the recent
war with Turkey when he had mill
tary command.
It was considered that he had a
narrow escape from death as the court
might have imposed the extreme PEN
atty on the strength of the evidence
introduced.
The judgment of military degrade
tons means that he must have his
buttons and badges cut off in the pres.
ence of a regiment Of troops.
Dispositions read at the court-martial
agreed that Andrew had disobeyed Or
ders during the Asia Minor campaign
when the Greeks were routed by Mus.
tapaha KemaIs forces.
The prince was exceedingly nervous
when the first questions were fired at
him. His replies were choked with
emotion as he answered the revolu-
tionary inquisitors, NJ. Lapoulas and
Colonel Sareyannis.
1t was only after some time that he
recovered his sangfroid and was able
to answer the court calmly.
With his wife, Princess Alice, watch
ing, and amid the solemnity caused by
the knowledge of the terrible fate OF
the five cabinet ministers who had
passed before him, the scene at the
court-martial was dramatic in the ex-
IRENE.
The prince was questioned for =
very long time by M. Lapoulas and
Colonel Sareyannis and lengthy depo-
sitions were read condemning him.
These depositions all agreed that the
royal prisoner had disobeyed the in
structions Of the headquarters staff.
Three witnesses were heard, and
the court announced that it would con.
slider the verdict.
The fact that death sentence waa
not imposed is believed due, in part,
at least, to the furore created sby the
execution of former Premier Kournaris
and the other officials who were sho.
with him and the fact that Andrew is
related by marriage to the Mountbat,
tens, powerful house connected with
British royalty.

motion car-that was the answer he
got,' "Weu, I'll try it, anyway" said
the half-convinced Tim.
But the line was busy. Moreover, it
was likely to be busy for the next two
weeks, Central said, which rather dis
couraged the boy, but at the same time
gave him bright idea: Why not put
I'D his own wireless telephone? Then
he could ask for all that he wanted!
The neighbors, and especially the
neighbors' boys, were much interested
in Tins experiment as it progressed.
but with friendly help the two wires
and the rest of simple apparatus
were contrived and the boys imagined
that they heard things as they listened
In. They imagined, too, that there was
an ear at the other end of everywhere
as they were sending out their express
sions of desire. Certainly it was well
noised about in the neighborhood that
McCann's boy was scientifically hope
full for himself and family; even the
particulars of his aspirations were un-
derStOOd.
Among others, old man McKeefrey
heard the news. McKeefrey was pc
culiar old chap. He lived alone In a
rather dilapidated house on the edge
Of the village and had little to do with
anybody. Once in while he would
give his views on the one subject that
employed his thoughts to an evening
company at the corner store, but no
one paid much attention to them. His
one idea was that charity began at
home, and the popular opinion that In
McKeefrey's home it stayed there.
There was also a general opinion that
in McKeefrey's home it was not very
much needed. The old man was not
much on dress and he seldom went
anywhere or seemed to indulge in any
of the non-necessities or luxuries OF
life. but he was supposed to have
means enough to outshine the best OF
them, should he desire to.
1t was when he had been descanting

store stove, upon the folly Of send

Plans for Visiting
Day Wednesday at
COny High School

Wednesday of this week will be
visiting Day at Cony High school
Last year, Cony had a visiting day
with about 400 people in attendance
and it was most successful. In fact
it attracted nation-w wide attention
because it was reported in the Ma
tional Education association docu-
ments and was very faVorably COM
mented upon.
The program was given last year
in the afternoon with a tea at the
close of the event, but this year the
plan will be changed. Visiting day
will open when school commences at
sos in the morning. There will be
no change from the routine. Great
attention will be paid to the social
lied recitation which was brought
about much comment. In this, the
classes are conducted largely by the
students and the work directed by
the teachers. This is about the lat
est in teaching and the teachers ard
classes have been putting in much
time on this work this year. The
recent school survey commented
upon how we'll the socialized recita-
tons were conducted.
In addition to the usual program.
it will be the day for singing and the
school orche stra will give selections.
There will be an opportunity to visit
all the classes including those of the
cooking and sewing departments.
and the commercial departments.
There will be the chance for those
interested in the classical course to
review the Latin cases and the
French verbs. In fact there will be
