81 once read a fine description of
certain family" Natalie remarked.
"TEe writer said that it was a family
of noble siences."
Although Natalie was not aware of
it, her voice was defensive. She knew
she was not a good talker There were
times when she would have given much
to be good talker, a person who said
clever and sparkling things. How
stupid just to chatter on endlessly
about commonplace doings!
Cousin LOUIS head lifted to the alert
pose peculiar to her when she was in
terested in something "That's fine,"
she agreed. "The phrase makes such
clear distinction without saying a
word! If there are noble silenceS,-
and there certainly are,-then there
are also silences that are ignoble.
There are not only silences that are
cowardly, but silences that are lazy and
selfish"
Natalie looked startled; she had not
supposed that the phrase was double
edged. 81 don't see how" she pro,
tested.
Cousin Lou apparently was not
thinking especially of her young relal
tive. GLOW silences can be lazy ?"
she asked. ooh, yes, indeed, my
dear! Heaps of people are silent from
lazineSs; their bodies may be active
enough, but their minds slump down
in rocking chairs all day long Think
of world like ours with its exhaust
less beauties and adventures and dis
coveries, to say nothing of the millions
of human beings in it all Of whom have
the most interesting thing under tho
Sun--human nature. And then think
of mind so lazy that it can go through
day without finding anything worth
remarking on"
Natalie coIored ooh, its nor thar
there isn't anything worth talking
about" she said; otis that other peo-
pie don't care about those things"
"How do you know they don't ?"
NatalieEs color deepened but her
chin lifted. 81 know because of the
kind of things they 10 talk about
whom you saw at the post office and
what he said and she said and thev
said, how Miss Matte BARRIERS knee
is and what color flowers to put oil
last years har!"
"Yet when a novelist writes about
those things we find them intensely in
teresting. Funny, isn't it?"
Natalie looked startled. 81 wonder
why ?" she asked slowly.
Because of our imagination and of
our sympathy and love for folks. You
remember Mrs. Browning's description
of Euripides with his touches of COM
mon things till they rose to spheres'?"
Natalie shook her head whimsically.
"You're cruel, Cousin Lou; you put
No Thoroughfare across all my little
secret paths,-
And turn you out of the great trails
OF endless adventure" Cousin Lou
smiled. "Bon voyage, little girl"

THE DIFFERENCE JUST A FEW DECADES MAKE.

Written Specially For The Bulletin.l
 What should you say was the pro- portion of horse-drawn to motor-driven vehicles on the average highway"
 Ask that question of a dozen different people and you'd be apt to get a dozen different answers. No two would con- cur. one might say "One in ten" while another would think the proportion was greater. and a third might reckon 1t less than that
 Whats the use of guessing about it, anyway, when there still remain toll- bridges on which toll-takers keep care ful count of the number and kind of ve- hielss passing?
 4 week ago The Bulletin published the April figures for the traffic over the Thames river toll bridge. These figures show that, during April, there passed over that bridge 5ss horse-dfawn and se.7s0 motor-driven vehicles.
 It is reasonable to suppose that these figures are fairly representative of pres eAt-day travel The proportion they show would doubtless be about that of other bridges and of other roads They indicate that almost fifty automobiles or motorcycles pass a given point for every horse-drawn cart or carriage.
 don't know when have chanced apon any statement which has impressed me more strikingly than this We say ehipperiy enough that times have changed" And we sing flippantly enough that them days are, gone forevePl" But when a celd-blooded toll-taker on a bridge steps forward with a sheet of verified figures to prove that forty-nine out of every fifty vehicles using his part of the highway are motor-driven and r~ffr fr. f- .5~o, then we begin really to appreciate things. That is, some of us do. Perhaps the unco' wise had fully appreciated them before. But you and I are just common folks, and We have to have ideas pound- sd into our heads, as a rule.
 Why, lt isn't much. if any, over twen- ly-five years ago that an enterprfsing and somewhat sporty" resident of the neighboring city bought and brought to it the first "horseless carriage" which had ever chug-chugged Its streets. The machine was an object of wonder to the boyS, of contumely to adults, of terror to horses-and of intending expense to its owner. After he had owned 1t three months and made numerous attempts at cross-country driving. he told me that he hadn't ever thus far been able to get back to town under his own power. In- variably something had broken down and he had had to acquisition a team to tow him home. But he was a hopeful and cheerful sort of critter, and protested hat he was going to keep trying till he was able to drive two miles out, turn around. and come home unaided. That was the very highest achievement which he set before himself as within the range 3f poss' 'bilities.
 And that was not much more than

twenty-five years agoi Certainly not thirty years ago. At that time the sight i-and sound-of his contraptions ap- proach' sent all the drivers on the high way hunting side-roads or farm lanes to escape into for safety, and started even the horses pasturing in roadside fields off towards the tall timber with snorts of terror. Sometimes, he told me, when the inevitable breakdown came on a lonely country road. the nearest farmer to whom he appealed for team to draw him home would drive him off the farm with pitehfork and highly explosive in- dignation.
 Yet now the horse, which then ruled the highway by a proportion of at least million to one, is only a minority of one in fifty. The same farmer who was at first disposed to oppose the right of whatever now drives his own fivver- or his own Hudson super -six-to town because it's easier and quicker than to hitch ,up." Moreover, he looks with 1 considerable disapproval on any chance horse he may meet which shows any l signs of trepidation oyer the roar of his exhaust. He. Is inclined to think that people shouldn't be allowed to drive such dum-fool critters on the common high way.
 All of which is simply another evi- dence that things are not what they used to be; that the world is changing that | we are changing with 1t and that we've got to face a future strangely if not fear somely unlike the past which we've grown used to.
 It isn't only the automobile. I can re- member as if it were yesterday when the

The | horse-draWn wheel-rake came in still la | ter. The riding or sulky blow was still longer delayed. The disk harrow was unknown, There was one herse-forl in town but, as it took longer to get 1t in working order than it did to throw off 8 load of hay with pitchforks, 1t wasn't much used. When I was small boy there was just one icehouse in the viii lage. It wasn't a very successful one The ice in it seldom lasted longer than the Fourth of July.
