CHAPTER XXI.

They went, up to her sitting
room to spend the rest OF the
evening. It was q large high
room overlooking the, park and
furnished in massive walnut and
blood-red brocade: a room as old
fashioned and &Cly as its mis-
tress but comfortable withaI. On
q table in one corner was an I'm
mense family Bible, very old,
and recording the births, mar
riages and deaths OF the Van den
Poeles from the time they began
their American adventures in the
seventeenth century. On another
sr@l table In another corner
was a pile Of albums, the lowest
containing the. first presentments

Oglethorpe; a photograph her
grandmother had. sworn at but
admitted as a curiosity.
Family Albums
One Of the albums was devoted
to the friends Of Mrs. oglethorpe's
youth, and Mary Ogden occupied
the place OF honor. Clayering had
once derived much amusement
looking over these cid albums and
listening to Mrs. Ogiethcrpe,s
running and often sarcastic com.

called to mind this photograph

youth, he had, himself. been so
little interested In Mary Ogden
that It had not occurred to him
to disinter that old photograph
OF the eighties and examine it IN
detail. He turned his back
squarely on It tonight, although
be had a misgiving that it was
not Janet who had inspired Mrs.
Ogiethorpe's singular note.
On one wall was e. group Of
daguerreotypes, hideous but rare
and valuable. An OIL painting
Of James ogIethorre, long dead,
hung over the fireplace; an
amiable looking gentleman with
long -whissSers sprouting out
Of plump cheeks, q florid
complexion. and the expression
OF q New Yorker who never
shirlxed his civic obligations. his
chairrnanships Of benevolent inst
tutions, nor his port. Opposite
was another oil painting Of young
James taken at the age OF twelve,
wearing a sailor suit and the surly
expression of an active boy detaiul
ed within walls while other boys
were shouting in the park. Beside

descendant until the resemblance
had become too accumulated by
modern divagations.

on the sofa tonight but drew a

many women of her generation,
never INDUCED her backbone save
in bed, and she seated herself In
her own massive upright chair not
too close to the fire. She had
made a concession to time in the
rest Of the house, which was light

An unheated garage not only 70:

a number Of other troubles, in addi-

There is always danger Of falling

SONNET OF NIGHT

Well let him live little while, they said,
A little while to feel the bloom of earth.
And all the stars went winking overhead
Behind the wanest moon to hide their
mirth.
But when the bud is blooming and the
noon
Has warned him of a beauty on the
wane
Well show him fear, they said, in death
too soon.
The stars went winking at the moon
again.
So he was born, who should have wor-
SHIPPED prudence,
With lunar strains of music in his ears.
Was ever death too late? pedantic stu

Each star and yonder moon, druid's ball,
Has more of beauty than the bitterest

THE CODE OF THE TRAIL

How is it that the story goes,
Cleaned from books ard movie shows;
How man was man unafraid
Who kept the laws by nature made?
No questions asked, no past to bare
A simple code, play the game square.
To the hungry no morsel was begrudged-'
Your past was by your future judged.
And now upon the modern trail
Again as in the bygone tale,
This rule is first in tourist code:
Help out your brother of the road;
Ask him if he needs lift,
Don't accept payment for gift
But with CHEEKY, That's alright,
You may be stranded ere comes the
night
If on the stretch of life's long trail
We could all help those who fail,
The word would much better be
And future greater we could sec.
We would cast aside all lust and greed
We would have one common creed
If we could step out from the throng
And live our lives the trail along.

OLD SHOES

Come gather round and listen, friends
Unto a tale of shoes
Though one was right, the other left,
I'll give them both their dues.
The left one was the worse for wear,
1t was "holey" fright,
The wearer threw away the left
Which was his perfect right.
/ do not mean twas thrown away
Because it was his right,
In fact, the right one then was left
Which complicates my plight.
My mind, it seems, is all askew,
Of reason Pm bereft-
I'll simply add it was all right
To have the right one left.

NO MAN IS INDISPENSABLE

l care not what your place may be-
A job that's most laborious,
With mighty little salary
Or one that's fat and glorious.
But be your labor great or small
Of this you must be sensible
Some other guy can do it all:
No man is indispensable
When you begin to swell with pride
And cater to the gallery
And put on lots of "dog" and "side"
Because they've raised your salary;
Why then's the time you'll tumble quick
Such ways are indefensible;
Some other guy can do your trick:
No man is Indispensable
It's well enough to know your worth
And know just what to do with it,
But don't imagine that the earth 2
Will quit when you are through with it
No, it will roll upon its way,
And-what seems reprehensible-
Some other guy will draw your pay:
No man is indispensable!

AGE BRINGS WISDOM

When I was young piled my tongue
with thoughtless, wild abandon; worked
by steam, there was no theme I would
not take a stand on. I lectured loud to
every crowd. I thundered and GRATED; I
sprinkled words until the birds were
scared, and emigrated. I'd criticize the
learned and wise, and roast the useful
voter; yipped and yelled as though pro-
PEELED by twin six V-type motor. knew
it all with splendid gall and the public I
instructed; thought this land would soon
be canned, unless by me conducted. The
people groaned, the people honed to end
me and my chatter, and seeing red, they
wished my head were served upon plat
ter. And in my walks, quite often, rocks
would spoil my Sunday beaver; and mad
dened skates would leave their gates and
chase me with cleaver. And wearied
hicks defaced with bricks the map, that
nature gave me, and in a sweat the vii
lage vet with liniments would lave me.
Youth disappears and passing years bring
wisdom to critter; I hear the boys kick
up their noise, and l send forth no twitter.
In peace I sit and gently knit, my time
worn thumbs I twiddle, and they who
prance and yell and dance must pay the
guys who fiddle.-Walt Mason.

IN REGARD to the manner in which
i Indians of other days handled their
craft. Cathcart said:
We don't paddle like the Indians
of the olden days. They employed a
labor-sa saving stroke. Canoeing was a
part of the Indians daily life. 1t was
his great mode of transportation and
he studied it's many phases until he
had perfected himself in the art.
Many people have wanted to know
just what the canoeing season is. 1
think one might properly say that
it runs from April to November or.
in fact. even longer than that, if
the weather is not so cold that the
hands and fingers become numb. One
cannot paddle successfully with numb
extremities.
Experienced canoeists will find
that the river is navigable from the
foot OF Great Falls to Sycamore Is
land, and in the gorge which extends
for a mile below Great Falls are four
real good rapids. Just above Difficult
run. the Horseshoe rapids show white
water almost the entire year. Where
the river branches to circle Herzogs
and SCOTS ISlandS there are several
small rapids, the swiftest of which is
known as Calico rapids. These are
in what is known as the Virginia
channel and about a mile below are
the Stubblefield Falls. perhaps the
best and largest of all rapids between
Great and Little Falls. The rum
blings may be heard all through the
months of the year These falls are
not considered the most dangerous
for a canoeist toy go through, although
several people have been drowned
there. but they are among the most
interesting rapids to shoot because
OF the sudden drop and fast water,
and even though there Is less danger
of hitting any rocks if one stays in
the main channel, one always ships
some water because of the height of
the waves.
"Can6eing is a sport that is becom-
ing more popular every year, and
when the people realize its manifold
benefits there will be many more
canoes on the river. 1t is not only a
delightful and exciting sport, but also
one that is health giving. 1t takes

Big Telephone Cable.

WHAT is thought to be the largest
telephone cable in the world of
the submarine sort is that opened not
long ago for messages, when direct
telephone communication was estab-
Iished between Pomerania and East
Prussia over wires 100 miles long
that are laid in the Baltic. To com
ply with the provisions of the Yer
sailles treaty. the line had to avoid
the Polish corridor to the sea. The
cable has six pairs of telephone con-
ductors and three single lines for
telegraph messages. The lines are
insulated with paper and covered
with lead. reinforced by double
helix of steel wires. The outside
covering is a jute compound and is
protected by an armor of twenty-nine
galvanized strands of steel.
