ran at him with n knife. stabbed
him on the head and inflicted two
severe cuts on the back which. &C

pistol He then took the pistol away
from Fleming. Fleming was knock
ed down two or three times by
Mitchell and suffered a conclusion
of the brain which caused his death.

Must be a king amongst his kind, the

He must be tall and handsome, with
dark, compelling eyes
That gaze in mine to find the light
that never, never lies.
He must be gentle, kind and good
and love me every day;
No matter IL I'm by his side or very
far away,
He'd come with me each evening. II

II not he'd don his SLIPPERS and glad

Where is he? Don't all talk at once!
He surely must be near!
And when he comes he needn't

But maybe-and there comes a

You can imagine how excited

that Bobby was dying to go and
look at the egg, but it was a good
thing he didn't, for I'll tell You
what happened.
AS busily as they had dug the
hole in which Mrs. Mound-bird
had laid her egg, those birds
started filling that hole again.
They covered that egg with the
earth and patted it down smooth

chartered together a while, spread
their wings and away they flew

''They build these big mounds
and come back to them year
after year and lay their eggs in
them. You see, Mound-birds don't
live much on the land. They flv
around over the ocean. Being
such travellers, I suppose it would
make Mrs. Mound-bird nervous
to have to sit on her eggs the wav
other birds do. So, you see. thew

let the heat of the sun warm
their eggs until there ready to
hatch.
II hope I didn't break any of
their eggs while I was jumping
around on top of that mound"
said Bobby.

that" Bunny declared as we
started off. ''They wouldn't take
any chances laying them SO near

quieting symptoms which they do
not understand they are apt to
develop an unhealthful feeling of
apprehension. If they have avoid
ed the doctor, or have paid but
scant attention to his admonitions
and explanations, they find them
selves victims of a kind of super
stitious dread instead of being con-
fident, poised and optimistic, as
would be natural to middle age.
They do not know what they are
up against
The more nervous types get
more or less panicky. This I'M
healthy psychological slant af-
fects their business judgment and
all their relationships. Some
times it accounts for some of the
grave social alterations that these
people indulge in.
The only way to get rid of this
state of decentralization and regain
self-confidence and efficiency Is
to gain a moderate understanding
OF physiological causes and effects.
We do not have to grope our way
through middle life in any such
fashion.

She was going to try to do as
Father said. She would take as
much trouble with writing those
words about a bed, as old Jeanne
took in making the bed every
morning; and that was more trou-

took about anything.
Her dark, shining hair fell for

leaned over the copy-book, writ

frowning in her concentration on
formation of those letters.
She forgot all about her uncer-

All her Pickering thoughts stead
led themselves and grew quiet as
she worked. A stiffness came
over her. She felt happier than
she had since they came to France
to live.
Later, ever so much later, after
she had undressed, washed in the
cold water in the little earthen-

energetic French kiss on her
cheek Jeanne always kissed you
so hard, and as she dozed off
again, she heard Jeanne saying a
prayer over her, half in Basque
and half in Latin. Marise couldn't
understand either Latin or
Basque, but she understood the
intention of that nightly prayer
at her bed, and she caught sleep
lily at old Jeanne to return her
kiss. 1t wasn't as good as Cousin
Hetty's taking you on her lap
and putting her arms around you,
but it was enough sight better
than nothing. Also she heard
Jeanne carefully close the win
