 After breakfast Ruth accompanied the guests to the side yeranda, then, leaving Beatrice Lang with her son. went on about her household duties. Kenneth glanced over the morn ing paper, reading aloud sundry items to his mother. She made an occasional comment on the news. But her companion saw that her thoughts were busy on other mat ters.
 At last she asked question. T wonder where you and I can have an occasional chat? Would 1t be safe out here?"
 "If you mean-would any one de- liberately listen to our conversation. I can assure you that nobody would" he replied with some asperity.
 Do not be so quick to suspect sinister meaning in all l say, Ken neth," his mother reproved. T do not think that l have ever seen you quite so touchy as you are now"
 q am sorry," the son said. T was not aware that I was supersensi- tive.'
 q don't know that you are cn all points, the widow rejoined. But you evidently cannot stand any sug- gestion of criticism with regard to anything that goes on under this roof"
 The son felt his temper rising.
 May it not be because l consider it bad form to criticize those In whose house one happens to be guest?" he asked.
 His mothers shapely brows were drawn together, but only for an in- stant Even when irritated, she would not let herself, frown.

 CARNEGIE,

Andrew Carnegie" runs section of that great mans biography, ".s the son of his mother. When the looms stopped and the piteous voice of Carnegie, the elder, said, Andy, We have no work the mother lifted up her voice and sang one Of the songs of Zion.'
 Married to a shlftless, lazy man it Is only natural that the mother of Andrew Carnegie should have been a hardworking, thrifty woman To her, as to her son after her, there was only one nobility. That was the nobility of honest effort. To live off another's effort was to them a sin To eat and not earn was a crime.
 These characteristics, so repre- sentative of the great man only re- gently dead, were inheritances from his mother. She was true Scots woman, a trifle stern, exceedingly just, religious. hard working and painstakingly honest She took care of her little household and her chill dren, cooked for her worthless hus- damask looms in the house.
 An excellent summing up of this woman occurs in the following lines by famous author:
 Tt is great idea for a woman who would give to the world su perior sons to marry man without too much ambition. If too much is done for a woman she will never do much for herself. Nothing was done for the mother of Andrew Carnegie.

 Beatrice Lang bit back the retort that sprang to her lips. It was not a part of her present scheme to argue with this man about his dead father. She seemed to catch eagerly at Ken neth's last remark.
 And that Is just what you will do if you marry Victoria Walsh Her money will take you anywhere. It will assure your future for you. It will give me daughter who will comfort me In my old age. It will satisfy my ambitions for you, my only son."
