tubes of his auto carriers for bootleg liquor and got
away with it for months until he had inopportune

A feeling of intense annoyance
seized Aimee. Where was the freedom
she had sought? She returned to her
bedroom, put on her shoes, leaned out
Of the window, and inspected the wall
critically. 1t was covered with Ivy
and trellis-work.
She swung herself cautiously out
onto the sill. and began very quietly
to descend the trellis. Aimee, active

From Maine to California you can

forests have been destroyed. Mighty
stumps and smoldering trunks still at
test to the magnihcence of the trees
that are gone. Whole tracts of cOun-
try are barren, where these forests.
were destroyed, and nothing put in
their place so that the rain and the
winter frost broke and washed away
the very soil, and rocks and desert lie
where once splendid trees stood in
their noble beauty. II the men who
killed them root and branch had had
something of Johnny Appleseed in
their hearts. they would have used
these forests wisely and with love, and
today trees would stand where trees
stood, and the wounded hand be.
Carry with you as you go on through
life pocketful Of apple seeds, or
their equivalent. Perhaps you Will
not see the fruit Of the tree you

Georgina turned a pale and timio
face to the stranger. The Rev. and
Hon. Alexander Lambe bowed.
Alexander was large and well.
though somewhat loosely, built. Al
mee's epithet. "owl-faced." was hard
ly fair. Certainly his clean-shaven
face was little serious, and his eyes
large and round, but very kindly.
"Welcome to Jervaulx, Cousin Al
mee," he said.
A sudden interest and sympathy
quickened in the large eyes as they
rested on Georgina's face. And
the panic-stricken girls fear died
within her. Mr.. Alexander Lambe
looked so cool and protective and de-
pendable.
Escort your cousin to the morning
room, Alexander" said Lady Erythea
authoritatively, 'and offer her re-
freshment after her drive"
They walked in together. And as
they walked their backs seemed to
suggest, in some subtle manner that
an understanding, mutual sympathy.
had dawned between them. Backs
can be very expressive sometimes.
Lady Erythea regarded them with a
look of commanding approval. She
followed them majestically up the
steps.

Tribute to the Apple.

No other fruit is capable Of so much
variety In service or presentation as
is the apple. In the hands Of really
good housewife, an apple can be made
to do duty for almost any course Of
any meal. From the plain raw apple
to that crowning masterpiece Of all
appledom, the apple pie, there are
more dishes de pommes than have ever
been counted. Think, for instance. of
fried apples with bacon, Of Brown
Betty, of baked apples stuffed with
nuts, of apple and cabbage salad, of
spiced apples, and apple Jelly, and
fresh apple sauce with ginger bread,
and apples and cheese-there's no end
to the list
