The steadfastness Of the sun
has usually been taken for grant

typical example Of faithful and
never-failing performance OF duty.
The only trouble with that idea
is that it never had any other

We easily persuaded ourselves
that the sun was put in the

inhabitants of the earth, whereas

is an insignificant incident in the

 From that point she frightened up and really became an amusing eompan- ion. She told two of the funniest stories the girls had ever heard; even Saul's ears reddened witm mirth. She recounted a Imaginable experience of her young welded life, and she dropped to pathos when she spoke of the loss of her own girl-"who would be your age now Helen. Altogether, she was so un- expectedly sociable that the girls were almost sorry when the ride ended.
 A few days later Helen suggested another trip-this time to Windham, a high point in the mountains.
 If Peggy's going I'll have to take chicken sandwiches" Marie said. Peg gy thinks no outing is complete with out chicken sandwiches.
 You may take the chicken sand wiches, but Peggy isn't going," replied Helen.

 Helen answered unexpectedly. "I'm going to ask Mrs. Hopper. She's the most appreciative person I ever saw, and besides," Helen added firmly, T think it's about time she saw some of the beautiful things in this world. I'm going to make it my business to show them to her."

Presently, to her delight, she found that Helen, on her side, was doing the same thing. It was as if they saw all the well-known sights with the unaccustomed eyes of their companion.
 Arrived at the lake, they had their picnic luncheon. Then the little lake steamer paused at the pier and they went aboard.
 It was Helen, who assisted Mrs. Hopper to a comfortable seat, Helen who found a stick of gum for her to chew in case of her being seasick, Helen who explained and instructed. Mrs. Hopper said little, but she looked an appreciation that was pathetic. They were three hours on the lake and every moment was refreshing.
 Once back in the car, Mrs. Hopper began to speak. T was afraid I was going to misbehave,' she said. "'You see, l was never on the water before except to cross bridge"
 You dear thing F Marie cried "One wouldn't have known it from your actions. I hope you weren't afraid !"
 Mrs. Hopper drew a long breath. "I did think once or twice of what a lot of water there was under me, then looked at you girls and said to myself, Lofty Hopper, don't you act up now |"

 Old Mr. Toad looked straight into Granny's eyes and he saw that she real ly meant all that she had said. A kind ly look came into his own beautiful eyes. Yes said he, Peter is very sick, or rather he has been very sick, but he is better now and will soon be well again."
 I'm glad of that!" exclaimed Gran ny Fox. I've been dreadfuIly worried about him. Of course, when he is well I feel that it is perfectly right for me to try to catch him, but when he is sick 1t is q very different matter. I wish you would tell him for me that I am sorry that he is sick and that hope he will soon be well again. Tell him that he will have nothing to worry about from me until he is quite himself again.
