Dream that your tongue is sore and
 full of blisters-
 You will dispute with mistresses and
 misters.
 This old almanac rhyme Is based upon great dream authority's claim that such a vision especially if the tongue smarts, is forerunner of endless squabbles in the course of which it will seem that all the world YOU know, all it's men and women, are against you. And, if you try to speak and cannot because of the pain in your mouth. then you will be un able to reply in kind to the attacks and will be very miserable and feel lonely and without a friend. But if you suddenly regain the power or speech and manage to answer or to cry out despite the pain, or without pain. good for you, because a word from you will silence your enemies. To stick your tongue out at some enc indicates a secret dislike or even hatred, which you are trying hard to conceal. In most cases where | single girl sticks her tongue out at l a man, this dream means that she wilIs receive a very unwelcome pro- posal of marriage. She will, perhaps. refuse the man with politeness but her innermost thought will be that she would rather become an old maid than be his bride.
 If a married woman sticks her tongue out at her husband, her love for him is distinctly on the wane. She may not be fully aware of this, but the fact remains. And in cases where she is cognizant of the change of heart, the final breach is near and he. too, knows that the end or | married romance has arrived.
 There is strange dream which means that you will carry wonder ful story in your heart, told you by 1 someone you love, story which, for months, you will not repeat to lv- ing soul In some cases, this dream even means secret marriage. It gives YOU the horrible feeling as though you had lost your tongue, or as though it had been torn out. But don't mind the fright you may get while the dream lasts. It is anything but a bad one. It Is sign of hidden happiness, second to rev olhers Even the poet has sung of it:
 Oh, that delightful engine of hel
 thoughts,
 That babbrd them with such sweet
 eloquence,
 Is torn from forth that pretty hollow
 cage,
 Where. like a sweet melodious bird
 it sung
 Sweet varied notes, enchanting every l ear.
 If this dream comes to you as you seem to be alone, or with strangers mere acquaintances or relatives, Il signifies that you will be told the sweetest story of all, and that you will keep it secret for a time. Ii the man of your choice Is present. 2 clandestine wedding is in store fol you.
 If you see the tongue of a friend

CHAPTER.

CHAPTER
 Higher than himsel 2R nc man thinl"-and it was qui.e impossible for James Walsh to understand what had prompted Kenneth Lang to go to so much trouble to smooth mat ters for Victoria, unless he were in love with the girl. Yet, in that case, Lang would have resented her mar riage to another man.
 No-it was q problem that the self made man could not solve. But he did understand that Lang held weapon which he might use if Walsh remained obdurate toward Victoria and victoria's husband He felt a discreet respect for Ken meth Lang-a respect tremendously ssaugmented by the conversation III | Walsh's office.
 aS5 Yet Lang was surprised when Walsh -telephoned to ask timidly if the young banker could give him and Mrs Walsh q few minutes that aft crnoon. They wished to ask his ad- vice.
 When Lang arrived at the Walsh mansion Mrs. Walsh's face was swel- lien from weeping, but she said lt- tie of the trouble that had come upon her. Lang was sure that she knew nothing of the lapse from honesty On the part of her new son-in-law, { Humbly, Walsh and his wife asked
 
 to pursue in announcing their daugh- ! ter's marriage. They had just re- 2 ceived a brief note from her. tell { ing them that she and Sam had been : married quietly last evening. She 7 also gave an address to which they ! could write to her.
 I've already written telling her to come home just as soon as she likes-and that we forgive her." the mother said, the tears rushing to her eyes. But we don't want the pub lie to know it was a runaway match. It's so humiliating"' with a little sob.
 "I would suggest inserting an an- nouncement in your name and MT. Walsh's, in the wedding notices in tomorrow mornings paper," Kenneth advised.
 Yes. that's a good idea" Walsh approved. But I had another idea. too. That is, let folks think Emma

and myself went away to attend the wedding. You see, we were both out of town on the day that Vickey went off. There's not thing to prove that we didn't go away just especially for the wedding Who is there to contradict that statement"
 Kenneth gazed at him with actual admiration. No wonder this man had made his way in the world--with such fertile imagination and with a lack ofsthe fundamentals of truth!
 You see," Walsh went on to eX- notice like that in the society notes in next Sundays paper. Something to the effect that MT. and Mrs. James Walsh were absent one day last week attending the wedding of their daughter.'"
 Kenneth said nothing. If Walsh took his silence for approval of his clever scheme, let him do it.
 Then" Mrs. Walsh took up the tale, i've might add that the young people would make their home with the brides parents for the present. What do you think of that idea"
 "Excellent"' Lang replied truth fully.
 ,. When he started to take his leave, Walsh followed him to the front door.
 T suppose the best thing for me to do would be to give Sam job in my concern" he remarked. That was another thing I wanted to con suit you about. Would you advise it?"
 T think it would be a good plan" Lang replied. But I do not recom- mend it. That is matter that you must decide for yourself"
 "I do not mean to give him re- sponsibie position until 1 try him out first" Walsh explained. "I could watch him and see if he makes good
 "Yes, you could watch him-and l am pretty sure he will make good, Lang said. If he does not, shall be disappointed in him."
 As he went on homeward dusk was falling. Twenty-four hours ago he had been in Southtld in a driving rain. All about him had been dark ness and storm.
 Tonight the sky was clear and a new moon hung in the west. Vic- toria's muddled affairs had been cleared up. The agitation at the bank had been quelled; Travers' future looked brighter. And he. Kenneth Lang, had been instrumental in bringing this order out of seeming chaos.
 1T can straighten out most affairs, except my own," he muttered. "Per- haps 1t is because l cannot get my own in the right perspective"

 Tt must be lot of fun to be so kindly" said Raggedy Ann.
 Dinky Dwarfie reached over and gave Raggedy Anns cheek a play fully twitch. Don't you try to fool us, Raggedy Ann" he laughed, "We know just how kindly you and Rag gedy Andy are. And that is why ev- eryone loves you! And that is why you know that whenever anyone does a kindly generous deed for another, he really receives more happiness than he gives"
 And that is why everyone should always try to make everyone about him happy" Danny Dwarfie added, For, no matter where we look, we can always find someone who needs a helping hand and our friendship. And with each kind deed we do for another, we receiver ourselves, that much more happiness"

for that matter soon come to know whether you are a friend or not. And when they discover that you are friendly. they will come right up close to you and are not afraid. Per haps the Wind Fairies whisper to the little wood creatures and tell them whether you are a friend or foe. Anyway the cunning little woodfolk know.
 And, because the Raggedys were kindly, they saw and heard -1any things that even very friendly per- son might not have se> and heard.
 The Rcggedys saw many Fairies. and Gnomes and Elves; cunning little creatures too; and of course all the animals and birds within the deep, deep woods.
 Sometimes. the Raggedys could hear the singing of the Fairies, but look as hard as they could, with their shoe button eyes, they could not see t em and at other times. they saw them as plain as plain could be.
 And, so, when the Raggedys, arm ! in 'arm walked in under a clump of small cedar trees and ctn. lpon two littlo Dwarfies sitting smoking lon.. pipes, the Raggedys were eat ly pleased. It isn't often one has the chance to zee two Dwarfi- 8.

showed through the glass panes when the doors were closed. Along the two white shelves over the white Penamel table were slightly larger ruffles of the gingham, which hung also at the two windows.
 The hostess defended her ruffles against the criticism which she saw dawning in her friends face. She knew that almost all women believe q kitchen should be as empty and white and shining as hospital room that nc grease-absorbing fol de-rols should be permitted there, and, above all. that the shelves should be cov- cred with washable oilcloth or re- movable paper.
 But gingham washes almost as quickly and easily as oil cloth.'' she asserted, and 1t is so mpch more cozy and friendly. All these little ruffles are stitched down to a piece of strong tape at the back and are tackled to the shelf with the glass headed push pins that come out and push in so easily. The ruffles can be taken down and rubbed every week, if necessary-although 1t isn't neces- sary, of course.
 "WhiIe I am doing the actual cook ing, I try to keep the cupboard doors closed. This keeps out all the fly ing grease from thesskillet or deep fat kettle, and shuts out, too, tdors from the various foods that are being prepared.

To Cause Water to Freeze By the

 Here is really scientific little feat that can, however, be performed only in the winter time.
 The magician having secretly pro- vided himself with a little salt, say a handful, calls for stool, a quart pot, a handful of snow, and short stick.
 Unbeknowh to the audience he pours little water on the seat of the stool, and sets the, pot upon this. The snow is then placed in the pot. While doing. this he drops the salt in also, but secretly. The pot Is held fast with the left hand. and with the right the mixture is stirred in the pot.
 In very few minutes the pot. will be froken fast to the stool that one will scarcely be able to pull it off with both hands.

But if you see the tongue of your enemy, or of man or woman whom you know to be and to think evil, you may look forward to the great satisfaction of having your enemy apologize for the wrong he or she has done you, or to hear the evil person confess, repent and prom ise to be better: Oh, human tongue,

More masculine than feminine in na- ture, she was conspicuous for her strength of character. her energy, her love of money and power. her courage and her capacity for practi- cal affairs.
 Every one of these qualities was reflected exactly in the character of Napoleon, and between him and his mother was the strong bond of mu- tual understanding and approval. Speaking of her later in life. the em- peror said
 "As a mother she was without equal" and to her training he ascribed in chief the development of his own character.
 In spite of her masculine turn of mind. she had for her children an SOHClCuuc AIQ Il COH- bination of tenderness and firmness in all her dealings with them. Thus. despite her. occasional severity, her children adored her.
