He believed he had conquered the

Hawkins had not known that the man

He trailed over his treasure with the

When he aroused himself his mouth

CATALOG AND BOOKLET FUN
By Lydia Lion Roberts

There are all kinds of pamphlets,
booklets and descriptive matter print
ed nowadays to advise and show busy
people about almost everything. A
great many of these find their way to
a housekeeper's door and are often
glanced at carelessly and thrown
away. This is a mistake if there are
children in the home, for out of these
booklets may come many lessons and
some good times. A mother will find
it worth while to watch the magazines
and send for the most attractive of
these, not only to learn about the new
est and best ways of doing and buy
ing things but to help the children
learn about this big, unknown world.
When a rainy day, or a what shall
| do now?" time comes, the lucky
mother brings out her group of book
let's and gathers the children around
her. Many a mother can explain
about these things easier than tell a
story, and this is the way she can use
the booklets. 1t will start a lot of
questions, all of which she cannot
answer, but it will prove an interest
ing time. There are booklets telling
of our parks, scenery, birds, woods
and the kind that tells how things are
made. These are free for the effort
of writing for them and give the chill
dren some idea of what is going on in
their country. The pictures may be
used for ~scrapbooks and clippings
made of the most interesting facts
told. 1t will make the children think
about the bigger things of the world
and want to know more about them.
AS an illustration of the uses to
which these booklets may be put, a
few of the ways we have used them
in our home may help other mothers.
There came in the mail one day a
booklet describing a set of nature
books, in which there were colored
pictures of birds. The oldest boy of
the family became interested in the
many varieties of birds and decided
to start a bird %scrapbook. We sent
for other booklets and he cut out the
bird pictures, many of which were
very beautiful, and one of them had
an interesting account of Audubon's
life which was read carefully and
added to the book.
Another time we sent for a catalog
describing different kinds Of wood and
giving a short history of the different

could know of the softening Of his
heart. The visits to the grave grew
necessary TO his happiness. For the
first time in his Rife Hawkins felt as
desolate as he really was. ES visited
the grave, as a man OF ordinary r~In-
permanent would call upon a conG-NSS
When his strength permitted a enp
every other day, only, he sat in his
room looking out between the hills AT
the plain, and at the fascinating dot
upon tho white stretch of sand ana
alkali.
1t was ut these times that Hawkins
began to try to recall the possible
good qualities of his dead enemy.
Hawkins remembered how he had con
demned the man out of hand, when his
name was first brought up because
Thweke wrote a copybook hand.
Hawkins remembered that he had
sneered at the man on account of ii
certain curl of the mustache; and that
the fellow had incurred Il husba1dly
hate, by knowing how to play the
piano. Remembering these preJudices,
Hawkins tried to make some entries
on the other side of the account.
As the Shadow fitted nearer and
nearer to the grim man, now confined
to his barren room more closely than
before, he began to lose the horror he
once felt at what he fancied might be
the presence of the dead. One day
he found himself %curiously listening to
some token from the dead man in the
grave. His mood was not n of hor-
ror, but of longing. He reasoned that
his strange finding of the grave, the
against his will and against his IA
ture to the lonely spot, and the infiu-
ence which it had wrought upon his
life indicated the presence of some out
side power. He built up a theory OF
hypnotism from disembodied spirits,
and sat watching for a signal to verify
through his material sense the exist
ence of the supernatural force with
which his spirit seemed to have been
communing. In this frame of mind ne
forgot the wasting of the flesh. He
sat by his window, overlooking the des-
ert, and unused by the hour upon life
and the coming of the end. His whole
being was softened by the approaching
dissolution Of his body.
He longed for some sign that would
tell him that he had fellowship-real
and palpable-with the spirit OF the
man in the deserted grave. But the
sign did not come. He traced false
signs to their natural causes, and was
sad. The habit Of a lifetime, as a
s%coffer. strangled credulity, eve

trees and the way the wood was used.
The children were much pleased with
this and gathered woods of many
kinds and uses and noted the differ
ences.
The railroad folders are often illus
trated artistically and we used these
to help geography lessons, as the pic
lures and descriptions of the train
routes and scenery, besides the brief
accounts of important landmarks
helped geography seem more real and
vivid to the children.
Almost all of these catalogs helped
in school work as the children had
interesting or odd bits of information
to give to the class, and when making
collections to go with the booklets,
took these to school to show the
teacher and the children. The teacher
liked this and encouraged other chill
dren to bring outside illustrations to
the lessons.
In the children's bookcase there is
a special shelf for booklets and cata-
logs, and they are very useful for ref
erences and handy to pick up in idle
moments and read. The tiny tot of
the family likes to have a slight story
woven around some of the illustra-
tions in which a little girl or boy
visits the various places pictured, and
has mild adventures. The mechanical
boy of the family writes for every
booklet on machinery that he can get.
and studies them to see the new ideas
and inventions of the world, getting
all the information possible to help
him in his chosen work.
1t really seems as if there is a cata-
log or booklet to suit each one of the
children, and if a child has a special
talent or interest it is wise to help by
sending for everything that will in
any way broaden and enlighten.
William Penn said: For their
learning be LIBERAL; spare not cost,

(Which do not reform) he would be

though it was the child of hope. So
Hawkins sat in the silence. listening
and waiting for the greater silence.
There came d time when he rallied
when he left the window for the veran-
da. Then it was that a great yearn-
ing came to his heart to go and lie
prone upon the grave and to be as
simple as a child in grief. He could
not explain this yearuing; he did not
try to analyze it. He felt some way
that it was a thing the woman would
have done, and the desire became a
master passion. 1t seemed cold to him
on the porch; but out on the desert
the sun shone gayly and seductively.
Day after day he walked the length
of the vera1da. He seemed to be
gaining strength. There was a day
when he walked the entire distance
around the hotel twice, without sit
ting or resting. It was a day Of trl-
umph. That night he planned his
journey to the fence and the mound
between the foothills.
His mental strain brought a slight
relapse in his malady. He did not no
tice it the next morning. He kept his
plans to himself. That afternoon he
slipped away. Slowly, slowly, he crept
down the terraces. He sat down often
by the wayside. A notion that he was
making a pilgrimage that she-Hawk-
ms only thought of the woman az
"she," now-would have him make,
warmed something in his grim heart.
not unlike a tenderness. He was very
weak, and his emotions were loose.
Once he tainted when he sat down
by a stone. When he returned to con-
seriousness he hurried on in a dazed,
fumbling sort of way. He felt then
that it would be his last visit to the
grave, but he was not sad. He was
only glad that he had come in her
name. Pride was purged from his
flesh. His heart was that of a little
child. He uttered foolish little prayers
that were bargains with God for
strength to reach his goal. When he
reached it, he crawled into the wf--e
enclosure. weak and painting. There
they found Hawkins at the close of
Gay. grim. repellent of feature, apart
from his kind. alone in his very death.
Men said it was a fitting end for him.
