1 never exhibited such absurdity in bringing up her own children, and l told myself hotly that 1t was not fair to either my child or me, for her to go to such extremes of in dulgence and punishment as she had meted out to Junior in the last hour.
 Oh There You Arc!"
 Just in time, however, I caught back the reproof on my lips, remind ing myself that during Mother Graham's projected absence could undo the disciplinary harm she had inflicted.
 Suppose we compromise" said reasonably. It's such a glorious day, Junior really ought to be out side with Marion for awhile. He can shove his tracks under your bed and come back to play With them"
 Yes, I suppose he ought to be outside" she assented. But" with irritable inconsistence. why shouldn't he take the tracks into your roof first? Then we won't be stumbling over them"
 That is a very good plan" I re- turned equably hiding a smile as I bent over the tracks. Come, Junior, help Mother" I commanded, and in another five minutes the toy was transferred. Junior was outside with Marion and Mother Graham was happily chattering as she took down her gowns and spread them out for my inspection.

Mother Graham does not approve of all my doings, but she has warm spotAin her heart for my needlework, and when she had finished examining and talking over her wardrobe, she had planned enough work to keep me busy for three days with no other activities whatever.
 If I should go before you get them done" she said, when the last garment had been discussed. you could parcel post them down to me, because they fit all right, you know"

<xehe(an8leA

This morning my father-in-law and I had a long and very conf1den- tial talk: and if can at the end of my days look back upon a life as well spent as his, shall not worry about my future destination.
 Mir. Hamilton has made me the sole exccutor of his estate, and he has appointed me manager of the steel plant in his place. You know he has 51 per cent of all the stock and can do this. He has even fixed my salary at fifty thousand dollars a year. l really do not know what I shall do with so much money, par ticularly as Leslie will have quite an income of her own.
 He has made little Jack equal ben efciary with his own two children of the income of his estate, which is not to be divided until the death of his wife, when her third will be distributed between any grandchil- dren that may be living at the time. Ten per cent of all net income is to be distributed to charity eacn year.
 I am telling you all this. my dear Mrs. Atherton, because l want you to understand that under no circum- stances could l have refused MT. Hamilton's request. First, of course you know, I am bound to him by not only ties of friendship but l stand in place of one of the sons he never had. It was up to me to see that his wife and daughters had the share he wished them to have in the re- wards of the work he had done so well. On this account if for no other reason have l accepted his trust and will try to carry it on.

Letter from John Alden Prescott to
 Mrs. Sally AthertOn.


 Mrs. Sally AthertOn.
 Dear Mrs. Atherton: You will doubtless he surprised when you see this letter to find I have decided to send my resignation to the Acme Ad- vertlsing company to take effect the first of next month. You of course know had decided that under no circumstances would l accept my father-in-law's proposition to come here and manage his steel plant l remember you approved of my de- cision.
 That approval made me very happy. for you doubtless are aware by this time, without my telling you, that l have come to depend greatly on your approval of my opinions and decisions. Indeed, 1 think some of my decisions in the last few months have depended upon your confirmation.
 Q You will remember how we both decided that it would be very un- profitable on my part to accept the management Of the plant, for as you said, Mr. Hamilton was such an az gressive man, he would not be able to leave 1t all to me; he would be forever putting in.
 However, when I arrived here found that circumstances had changed the whole aspect of the matter. Instead of wanting to make me manager while he was taking 3 rest, found that MT. Hamilton knew he would never be able to work again, and that within the next few days he was going to his long rest. He had been impatiently await ing my coming, for the doctor had informed him some days ago that he could only count his life by days perhaps hours. l think he has liter ally kept himself alive until he could talk 10 me.

'L.Es ON HEALTH
PARENTS: WATCH YOUR STEP

"rhe Blank children are always having tantrums," Mrs. Mann would often remark.
 'Tantrums, so called. are an in- teresting method developed by many children for getting their own way When they cannot defeat their par ents in any other way. they resort to this method.
 Every child would be a ruthless tyrant in the home If he could get away with it. And all too many of them do. Very early in life the child discovers that he has many weapons with which to battle house. hold discipline.
 Such child Is likely 10 be handi-

capped for, when he faces the reali- ties of life, and no longer has his parents behind him, he finds that there are definite realities to face,
 In many cases of this nature the child, grown to manhood or woman hood. unconsciously recalls that things were secured by ''tantrums' and proceeds to have them. Such is frequently the case in nervous disorders that are described as hystcria, etc.
 If parents will begin 10 watch their own steps as well as the steps of their children there will be far fewer nervous disorders to reckon with in thn future

 Man." Finley took her by the shoulders and looked deep into her dark eyes, Nan, do you love him ?"
 How could I. Malcolm?" she said, simply.
 Then why did you marry him ?"
 That l cannot tell you"
 Why, Nan? Why Nan, dear?" Finley's voice was tender, his gaze was compelling, but she shrank away from him, saying: Don't be kind to me--oh, Mal- colm, don't! I can't bear it."
 T don't understand, dear, but I'm going to. You know love you, Nan-oh, don't be afraid, I'm not going to tell you, and even though you threw me over for Raynor, I'm still going 10 keep watch and ward that no harm comes to you"

 "ls that what you were talkine about?" Miss Hattie said, thought. fully, and with a shade of disap- pointment on her face.

 Why does it interest you so deep. ly, Mir. Finley
 "Oh. I'm not in the business oont think I'm a burglar-alarm agent, but I see the necessity fo, better protection. I'm surprised that so able a man as Raynor doesn'l see it that way himself"

 "Oh, We were old friends, and believe we did use first names But it's more formal situation now Shall we go to the house, it's almost luncheon timer"
 The three strolled along the hower-bordered walks, and as the, reached the terrace, Dolly Fay flew to greet them.

 On it's absurdly small porch sat an absurdly large man. Finley had a 1eeting thought of Big Bruin in Tiny Cubs chair.
 Good day." he said, pleasantly, and the man on the porch nodded indifferently.

 Yep. Any O your business?"
 Not the least. Good day"

 No, l ain't in nobody's employ. I'm my own master, But l make my reports" What he did with the reports he made Finley didn't wait to hear, for he caught a glimpse of Mans blue garden smock, and he strode off.
 Again, however, the quarry eluded him.
 He stood a minute, reconnoitering. when what seemed to be a young whirlwind bore down upon him. ,s "Oh, sir, how do you do? Who are you? A fairy prince? Mine come to claim my hand ?"
 The speaker was a girl of about 14, her bobbed hair flying, her little frock of knitted wool open at the throat and brief at the knees, her Tam perched on one side of her touseled head, and her round, bonny young face laughing with glee. I'm Dolly Fay" she announced, I'm neighbor of the Raynors and l live just across that brook"

The Plans Mother Graham and
 Dicky Made For NaGgc

Katie was so irresistibly absurd In the preposterous theory she had advanced concerning our unofrend- ing Chinese laundryman's visit to the farm, and his attempt to drum up trade for his new line of tea and curios, that my facial muscles fair ly ached from the endeavor to keep them rigid.e
 But l knew that to laugh at Ka- tie, ,\whose concern for me, for all it's bulfoonery, was most sincere, would wound her feelings-always like the leaves of sensitive plant-and hurt ing my little maid is something am loath to do. Therefore, l turned a serious, reproving face to her. Knowing that it was not censure but ridicule which she dreaded.
 Don't let me hear you say any thing like that again Katie" I said severely. You might get us all into trouble by repeating such ab- surd ideas"
 T no say notings to anybody else" she said sullenly. But you shoost wait, und sometime you coon by your poor Katie, und you say: Katie you not sooch a fool, after all-you bet your boots"
 Whether she meant to include the last clause in her prophecy of my future language, I did not know, but I did realize that if I stayed any longer in the kitchen my rebellious risibles would disgrace themselves and mortally offend her so with a nasty futile: Don't be foolish, Katie" I escaped to my own room, from which however, I was prompt ly summoned by Mother Graham, who, to all appearances, had forgot ten that she ever had had any grievance against either Dicky or me.
 Junior in Favor
 Junior was on the floor, running his small electric train around the tracks-sure proof that he was in high favor again, and that his grand mother had forgiven and forgotten his impertinence toward her of a few minutes before. Mother Graham hates litter of ary sort in her room, and I shrewdly- suspected that not only her love for the small boy, but a recognition that her own injustice had caused his naughtiness, were responsible for the unusual in- dulganee. It was but a moment be- fore I had the suspicion confirmed.
 T want you to go over my dresses with me, Margaret" my mother-in- law said, as in response to her call l entered the room.
 Then Junior would better take his train into my room,' l said promptly.
 No. poor lamb. He shall stay right here if he wants to-" she said fatuously. "Granzie was so bad to her boy she wants to make it up to him.
 I could have shaken her cheer fully. I knew that Mother Graham
