 In panic he fled from the house be- fore breakfast, going out by way of a side door, and he crossed back yards and climbed back fences to reach AL bert Paxton the more swiftly. This creature, a ladies' man almost profes- sionally, was found exercising with an electric iron and a pair of flannel trou- sers in a basement laundry, by way of stirring his appetite for the morning meal.

Ely Has Natural Trap.

A peculiar traplike appendage, called a mask. enables the young dragon fly to capture the mosquito wriggler on which 1t feeds. The mask consists of a jointed, articulated arm that is attached to the under side of the head. At the extremity of this arm is the mask proper, which consists of two folding parts like hands, each of which is provided with row of small sharp teeth on its outer edge.
 When a tiny insect passes within reach of the young dragon fly 1t suddenly thrusts out the mask, grasps the insect within 1t and backs 1t into the mouth. When this organ is not in use 1t folds back over the head, covering 1t like a mask.
 The young dragon fly lives in ponds and streams; and as 1t is very slow moving, this trap is it's salvation.

In sharp contrast to Ram sey's backwardness is the precocity of little Dora Yocum, a young laoy whom in his bitterness he denoml- mates Teachers Pet" In high school, where he and Dora are classmates, Ramsey continues to feel that the girl delights to mani fest her superiority, and the Vln- dIctiveness he generates becomes alarming, eliminating in the reso- lution that some day he will ''show" her.

 "I didn't, so she said, Silence gives consent and that settled it."
The St. Johns herald., 1922-08-10

Ramsey thanked him feebly, and de parted in a state of partial stupefac- tiOn, brought on by a glimpse of the disabilities of life. He had also, not relief, but a sense of vacancy and loss; for Milla, out of his reach, once more became mysteriously lovely.
 Pausing in an alley, he read her note.
 "Dearie: Thought I ought to call you up but over the phone Is just nix for explanations as Mama and Aunt Jess would hear everything and thought I might seem cold to you not saying anything sweet on account Of them listening and you would wonder why 1 was so cold when telling you good-by for vile maybe weeks. It Is this way Uncle Purv wired Aunt Jess he has just taken in a big touring car on a debt and his vacation starts to- morrow so if they were going to take trip they better start right way so Aunt Jess invited me. Now dearie l have to pack and write this in hury so you will not be disappointed when you come by for the B. c. tonight. Do not go get some other girl and take her for would hate her and nothing in this world would make me false for one second to my kiddo boy. do not know just when home again as the folks think I better stay up there for visit at Aunt Jess and Uncle Purvs home ln Chicago after the trip is over. But I think of you all the time and you must think of me every minute and believe your own dearie she will never no not for one second be false. So tell Sade and Alb gOod-by for me and do not be false to me any more than I would be to you and 1t will not be long till nothing more will interrupt our sweet friendship"
 As a measure of domestic prudence, Ramsey tore the note into lrreparable fragments, but he did this slowly, and without experiencing any of the revulsion created by Milla's former missive.
 He was melancholy, aggrieved that she should treat him so.

 "Why aot?"
 "Milla ain't there," said Albert, still searching the pockets of his coat "When we went by her house last night to tell her about your headache and stomach and all, why, her mother told us Milla'd gone up to Chicago yester- day afternoon with her aunt, and said she left note for you, and she said if you were sick I better take It and give it to you.

It is a great mistake to suppose that Goethe, whose star had already risen. was at once generally recog- nized. His "Gotz von Berlichingel" and his "Werther" had been enthus- iasticaIly received, but no more so than works of commonplace bunglers and Goethe was assigned very small niche in the temple of literature Heine.
