never had he seen more than two beavers at work at one time. Now he saw four-four little lumbermen in fur.
 Peter had thought a lot about those poplar trees he had led Paddy 10 so long ago. He had begun to think that after all Paddy wasn't going to cut them despite the work he and his family had done to build that long dam and make the new pond. But Peter never has looked and never will look very far ahead, for as you know, he is not one Of those who prepare for the future. He is quite satisfied to let the future fake care of itself, which may do for some folk but will not do at all for those who are in the least thrifty. So Peter couldn't understand why. having made the big pond, Paddy and his family took a vacation in stead Of at once cutting those pop lar trees.
 On this particular night he was sitting beneath one of those poplar trees. He had come over their early, 1ust after jolly, round, red NIT. Sun had disappeared for the night and the Black Shadows were still creep Ing this way and that way through the Green Forest. You see Peter had been in the Green Forest all day in- stead Of at home in the dear Old Briar Patch as he should have been.

 Her bright mignonne face showed her perfect comprehension of my ruse and of the risk of Juniors spoil. ing it.
 "Oh! yes, Auntie Madge," she said earnestly. "I understand, and I'll do my best"
 Neither Lillian or spoke again until we had unlocked the doors of the cottage which the rector had said was for rent When We were satisfied that no one but ourselves was inside the house I faced my friend with nervous tingIing.

 "Lillian!" I said tensely. Do you know?-"
 That Hugh Grantland faded through that door into the rectory as we came up to the curb?" Lillian had a fleeing impression that it was he, and then when you picked 'pp that handkerchief, and put it down again I was sure of it."
 Have you eyes in the back of your fead?" I asked.
 Didn't have to have" she re- torted. That dear old rector is so Euileless that taking it's bottle from q baby is mere peccadillo com pared to the crime of deceiving him. A quick glance at you was easy to manage. I only hope We soon can take him into our confidence, Hes shielding Hugh,of course, but I don't think he has the slightest idea from what Perhaps Hugh doesnt--'

 It emphasized the stiffness in the conservatory, Barbara neither spoke TOT moved. Bob fingered the cigaret stub. Presently he walked across the room 10 the door and opened it, The wall Of the saxophones sounded louder. He cast a short glance al Barbara.

 New, tac temperature Of the at- mo5phrre in which you live is so- important that you should, at all times b" on guard to maintain sat is.aclory temperature. This, of coursg, means the temperature of tho room or rooms which you occupy day and night in cold weather.
 Watch the Thermometer
 It must be emphasized that tho avoidance Of ovcrhcatlHg is the pri- mary essential in all sysrrms of vcn- tilation. A proper degree of humidity is also important, Air change, di- lection Of finw and all other factors are secondary. The most important article of Ncntila,ing equipment is the thormometrr.

Al night after you go 10 bed and arc Well covered up, YOU may allow the temperature to drop 10 Gu degrees. 5j d,g grces or even 50 degrees Fahrenhcit--some say much lower than that, even. When you arc up and about, you should not let the temperature go below 65 de- grecs FahrcDhCit under most indoor- conditions unless performing manual la bor.

Anyway, Mrs. Peter says he should have been there.
 As Peter sat idly looking out on the water he caught sight of q sil- yer line moving toward him. Back of that was another and back Of that another A fourth was back of that. Peter sat up very straight to see better. In a moment he made out four black spots moving toward him. Because there were four he guessed right away that they were the Beaver family, Peter hid in clump of brown. dry ferns. He wanted to see without being seen for a while anyway.
 Peter nodded approvinGly as he noticed how careful Paddy was to make sure that the way was safe be- fore he came ashore or allowed the others 10 come ashore, But once ashore those four little lumbcrmcn wasted no time. Each selected d tree. Then each sat up, clasping the 1 tree with the forcpaws, One had his broad, flat tail bent under him and used it as a seat. The others used l their tails as props. They made ! themselves quite comfortable and | then they went to work.
 The one nearest Peter was one of l the young beavers, but he was near 1 ly full grown, He was the one who 1 had made a seat of his tail. Peter watched him start work. He tilted 1 his head to one side and drove his 1 great cutting teeth into the tree. He did the same thing lower down, Then with his teeth he pricd out the chip between the bites. Peter had to admire the way in which those great orange-colored teeth cut into that wood. Then the beaver did the samc thing over again. So he kept on cut | ting out chips until he had a deer notch cut on that side of the tree Then he moved around to the other side of the tree and began doing the same thing.
 Peter was so intent watching thi: | young luHlBtIludn al NOlh that Iit quite forgot the others. So he was startled half out of his wits wher there came a sudden sharp thud thud. Before he had had time tC think Peter jumped from his hid ing place and started to run. AS he ran he saw that the young beaver he had been watching was also run. ming. but in the opposite direction toward the water. Then Peter heard snapping, breaking sound and down crashed a young tree righ' across the very patch of dry ferns in which Peter had been hiding. SC it was a lucky thing that he had jumped when he did.
 The tree was the one Paddy him self had been cutting, and the thud thud had been the sound made b! Paddy's tail as he thumped thu ground with it to give warning tt he others 10 get out of the way be cause his tree was about to fall. 1 Copyright, 1925, by T. ".

 But when wc had returned 10 the ycranda, found that did not need even Lillian's money for the house transactiou Tho oll rector, cour- tcously but firmly waved away any deposit, said no word about ref crcnccs, and named sum for two weeks rent which was so ahsurdly small 10 our ears, accustomed to Long Island rents, I paid over the money he asked with no comment thanked him for his courtesy and then, with Lillian, hurried out to the sedan and drove the car into the driveway leading to the cottage.
 Luckily for our purposes the kitchen entrance to which l drove the car was completely screened by evergreen so that no one saw Lee Chow as he scrambled awkwardly out of the car. As soon as he reached the kitchen, he locked the door, pulled down the shades, tore the offending veil and dress from him and cast them in q heap upon a chair.
 Lee Chow stay in this room ex- cept he sleep" he declared. All curtains down, nobody see. If any body see, then put on veil. But Misscc Graham, Lee Chow so sorry. you have to do all work about car"
 Don't worry about the car, Lee Chow," I said. "Marion and I can do everything that is necessary. But did you sec the man 20 away from the porch when we drove up to the curb?"
 Lee Chow see and he know" the Chinese replied mournfully, but Lee Chow can speak no word. Lee Chow promised not 10 try find out any thing about big boss man. But he promise to do everything Missee Graham tell him. That reason Lee Chow here. Please say that to big boss man if Misscc Graham sec him. Lee Chow no can dO."

 Ther" arc many people who re- gard air as just something to breathe. Air, however, has many ether uses and functions that are inn portant. The harmful effects of bad air and the beneficial influences of good air have long been noted.
 In trying 10 find a word, which will better describe the ideal at mosphoric condition, one thinks Of pure, WholcSome. healthful, vigorous or salubrious-but each of these trrmS is incomplete. Notwithstanding the fact that, as q scientific term. the expression, 'optimislic atmos- phcre" IS admittedly a total failure, let us just this once use 1t 10 mean an ideal atmospheric condition, or 10 be little more nearly exact, per haps one should say, ideal almos- phcric conditions. An ideal atmos- phore you know is easy 10 define: easy 10 talk abOut--it is not quite so easy 10 obtain.
 When human beings occupy q con- fined space, q room, for example, particularly a room under modern lNing conditions. in winter, there are five things tha' are happening to the air in that room-t!rst, the oxygen iu the room is being decreased. ~.gh'ly; second, the carbon dioNide i is being increased, slightly; third, products Of organic decomposition are brINE gwen of from the mouth, nose, skin and clothing Of any person who may be in the room; louri h, l jb~ temperature is being raised, and I.th, tuo humidity is being chang,d Tho rise in t"mprrdture is due sisitly to tho heat oI our bodies 1 but more especially 10 thv heat from our fires or furnaces.

LINE WILL SOON GO

The immortal need no issue to
perpetuate their names. Grateful
nations look to that.

coin were blessed with four sons
Robert Todd, Thomas (Tad), Will
liam Wallace and Edward Baker.
Of these only Robert Todd, former
ambassador to the Court of ST..
James, secretary of war in Gar
fields cabinet, and former presi-
dent of the Pullman Palace Car
Company, is alive.
Robert T. Lincoln is the only
son of the President who lived to
an age sufficiently advanced for
marriage and of his alliance only
one son was born. This boy was
named Abraham, but he, too,
passed away in his youth and the
hope of perpetuating the line of
the great President passed with
him.
His children were the delight of
Ifncoln's life and the loss of them
by death his greatest trial. Many
new sidelights upon the character
OF Lincoln have been disclosed
