Letter From John Alden Prescott to
 His Friend Sydney Carton.

Letter From John Alden Prescott to
 His Friend Sydney Carton. Dear Syd
 am sending you the 0 s sign, as you will readily see when you read the enclosed letter. Isn't it fright :? Isn't it just like that little French devil?
 From it l can't tell whether she is trying to biackmail me into buying my letters from her. or whether she thinks that I am marrying to spite her or that as soon as l know her feeling toward me will give up Les lie and fly to her again.
 What in the devil is she getting at, Syd?
 l am much worried, l can tell you, for in the same mail with that letter l received one from Leslie asking if had ever told another girl I had loved her--so you can see what pre- dicament 1 will be in if she ever finds out about Paula
 Good Lord why do girls always want to be the first girl man loves, Wnen II IIlty O1it hnFW IL they HIt lucky to be the last?
 For heavens sake. .Syd, come on over and help me out with this. l want you to go and sec this grl sec what she is trying to get at and above all else, get those letters away from her.
 What fool man makes of him. self when he puts his silly vaporings upon paper? did not mean it at the time, and certainly do not mean it now. Why Syd, if anything should happen that I should lose Leslie now, I think l would commit suicide Come over right away if you can; I don't want to write to Paula; I don't want to put any more compromising stuff on paper; but | want yop 10 go to her and find out just what her game is.
 Haven't much time to explain, old boy, and l know I'm asking lot of you; but remember would do as much for you under the same circum- stances.
 Yours in great trouble--JACK.

ended when the roads became snow covered the travelling library, a motor truck with the body so con- structed as to make the large num- Der of books carried easily access sible, make 160 visits to towns in all parts of the state. Loans of 1,500 volumes were made to POT persons, nearly all of whom were new bor- rowers. Small collections of books were left in villages which have no permanent library. Lessons in book mending were given to the librarians of some of the smaller libraries and talks on books were given to various groups of villagers. Opportunity was given to the small town librarians to look over the newer books.
 The total cost of operating the book gon was only $20o.

Letter From Paula Perrier to Her Old
 Flame, John Alden Prescott,
 Whose Engagement to Leslie
 Hamilton Has Just Been
 Announced.
 Mon Chere Jacques.
 The papers tell me that very soon you are going to marry. Of course when I read the notices all our old associations 1t brings up and I won- der-yes, Jacques, I really wonder if you will ever be as happy with any other girl as you were with me We were blissfully happy, ne c'est pas?
 You have never mentioned me to this Miss Hamilton, I expect, but am sure that to forget me you will not be able nevertheless; and sonle- time when things go wrong and wife understands not, don't you know that old saying Jacques, My wife is a lovely woman, but she does not Wn- derstand"--well, when wife does not understand. perhaps to someone you will come back and you may tell atSin to her that her greatest charm is her understanding thorough.
 We auarreled so long ago. What was it about. Jacques? Silly it was, I know, and that you would come back immediately was sure; but you did not, and too proud I was to ask you to return, And now. some other girl into your life has come
 You will be happy I sincerely hope, If only in that monotonous way which all married people fall into who claim to be happy Possit..y it is not for human being to dwell on the noun tain tops of love; the air is too rari- fed.
 But I am getting romantic; to be very sensible I had intended, and to tell you that bundle of letter have tied up carefully in one of my bu- reau drawers.
 wonder how you would like them for a wedding present? Very inter- csting reading they would make for your wife, Jacques. I read one of them this morning. It made me feel quite unhappy. l shed few tears. And very we'll you know that there is nothing or no one that is worth q tear in this world. But 10 realize this you have to go through affairs like yours and mine, wonderful dreams dreaming, anu to stern reality wake up ss did when of your com ing marriage read
 To this letter what will you say? Whatever it is Jacques, you cannot from the fact get away that once to you was the only woman in the world. Hundreds of times you have told me that better than life itself

Grandma Goose had been the lead CT of the flock so many years that she liked to have her own way. She cn- joyed giving orders 10 others. But no one could say that she didn't do her best to take good care of every body. Sho knew when the birds gave their warning of hawk overhead. She knew the signs of storm. She could tell rat-hole when she saw it. And all these things she tried to teach the flock.
 But they didn't pay much heed to Grandma's talks on safety first" So long as they had her to warn them, they were content to trust their well fare 10 her.
