and the boys came near.
Non in the least-we've had .

He spoke rather coldly, as If
they were strangers, Nan thought
with childish sinking heart. Peter
stood there-not looking at her
with the boys clamoring around
her.

Nan said hurriedly; she hoped she
did not sound as eager as she felt
her heart leaped at the thought of
him coming; to have tea with him
in the schoolroom-to have him to
herself for just little while.
Petre hesitated; he looked at his
watch.

Mrs. Mears.
Nan froxe instantly.
"Oh, then, Ct course, we won't
keep you. Come boys, say goodby

going"
Miserable jealousy ragged in her
heart; she laught Claude almost
roughly by the hand.
Say good night to Mr.. Lyster at
once, and come in," she said sharply
She knew that Peter was looking
at her.
Il think I will stay after all, if
may be allowed to change my mind
he said suddenly.
Nan hardly knew if she were re-
lieved or sorry-she could not meet
his eyes.
"You ought to go back if you
promised" she said; her voice was
cold and unfriendly.

"You told me before-thick bread

She led the way into the school

ged forward a chair.
Peter sat down in the rather
shabby armchair by the fire anC
stretched his long legs with a sigh OF
contentment.
This is the first time I've felt
really at home since | came back, .
he said.
She looked at him with startled
eyes.
The first time. What do YOU
mean? Surely Mrs. Mears? :"
ooh, she is kindness itself; but
the house is rather fromal-there
are half dozen servants, and

ers eXpressively.
" Thought she seemed very nice. y
said Nan; it was the last thing she
had thought, but she was so happy
to hear Peter say he was more at
home with her than over at Gadsden
that she felt magnanimous.
She began to pour out the tea.
You don't take sugar, l know
you see, | haven forgotten"
She stopped with a stifled ex.
clamation. Just for the moment il
had seemed as if the intervening
weeks had been swept away and
that she and Peter were once more
on the old happy terms. But appar.
emily he had noticed nothing-and
she drew breath of relief.

piping treble.
Peter laughed.

over then" he added, smiling at
Nan.
Sometimes it seems as if it
never will be over" she said. Some
time it seems impossible that we
shall ever be at peace again. he
broke off-her blue eyes dilated.
She had heard the slam of the gard
en- gate and through the half light
outside had seen Harley Sefteon's
figure LASS the window.
She was on her feet in an instant
and out Of the room. Peter heard
her urgent voice in the hall:
Il am not at home, Mary an
not at home to anyone. Say that
you do not know when I shall be

She came back flushed anc
breathless.

Warm Springs, Ca, Oct. TO-
Franklin D. Roosevelt, former as
sistant secretary of the Navy and
Democratic nominee for vice presi-
dent in 1920, is expected to return
here today to resume his search for
health in the springs which flow

AS result of an attack of infan-

epidemic of 1921, Mr., Roosevelt
first sought the benefit of the warm
springs here several years ago. He
returned last year.
Prior to his disability Mr., Roose-

Nan did not answer; her hands

"Are you going to marry that

He went on without waiting for
her answer.

broke off.
"Oh, no, it's no business of

ASPIRIN BRACES
UP CUT FLOWERS

Experiments have confirmed the
fact that cut flowers may be pre-
vented fro mfading by giving them
an aspirin tablet. The experiments
were conducted with chrysanthe-
NUNS. The treated blooms outlast-
ed the untreated by three days.
Flowers which were badly wilted
were given fresh water and an as
pirin tablet. They revived in two
hours, looking as fresh at they did
when picked. The aspirin acts as an
antiseptic, interfering with the en-

FAMOUS MADONNA
IS BEING RESTORED
PoIand's Revered Picture
Hung Centuries in Monas-
terry of Chenstohova.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
WARSAW, November 18.-Poland's
most-revered picture. the celebrated
Madonna of Chenstohoya, is under
restoration In the hands of John Ru-
towski.
For centuries this madonna has
hung in the monastery OF Chensto-
hova. The legend concerning the pic
ture holds that 1t was painted on a
table by st. Luc. 1t passed, according
70 the legend, from Byzantium to
South Russia and was stolen there
by a Polish prince who intended to
take it home. But while he was pass
Ing the Chenstohova monastery his
horse refused TO go further. The
prince accepted this as a divine order
TO leave the madonna in the mon
aStery.
When the Czechs espoused the
creed OF John Huss they are supposed
to have plundered the monastery.
They tried TO carry away the famous
madonna, but their horses refused to
move. and in their anger the CZechs
cut the face OF the madonna. A wound
appeared on the face. from which
blood flowed, according to the legend.
Traces of the cut stfll remain on the
picture in spite of repeated efforts to
remove them.
IL - iiISIOI lIlHl
King Jagiello ordered the picture re-
painted in 1880. and the restoration
was made by an unknown artist who
was familiar with the original technic
Of the picture, and did his work with
much skill.
This celebrated madonna is sup
posed to have delivered Poland from
the Swedes in 1866. When all the
rest of Poland was in the hands of
the invaders the Chenstohova mon
astery held out. After long siege the
Swedes were exhausted and the Poles
were so encouraged by the stubborn
resistance of the monastery that the
entire country was aroused and eX-
PEELED the invaders
This made the madonna the patron
of Poland, and prayers are directed
10 her In all crises.
Rutowski, who has a wide training
in the restoration of pictures at the
Louvre, was commissioned to treat all
the art objects which Poland recov-
cred from Russia under the Riga
treaty. He believes the madonna is
the work of a great artist of the be-
ginning Of the Christian era.

Santa Claus Lives!
All Doubts Removed
Fact Proven By Statement
Said To Be Finest In
Literature
rs there a Santa Claus ?"

as there a Santa Claus ?"
About this season of the year this
question is raised in the minds of
many people who want to know the
truth about this very important per-
sonage, who has meant so much to
them in the past.
On one occasion little Virginia
O'Hanlon, perplexed by this question
wrote to the editor of the New York
Sun: 81 am years old. Some of my
little friends say there is no Santa
Claus. Please tell me the truth, is
there a Santa CLAUSE"
The following editorial published
by that paper, considered one of the
finest things in American literature,
answered for all time and all chill
dern, this old, old question:
Virginia, your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the scepticism of sceptical age.
They do not believe except what they
see. They think that nothing can be
which is not comprehensive by their
little minds. All minds, Virginia,
whether they be mems or children's,
are little. In this great universe of
ours man is mere insect, an ant, in
his intellect, as compared with the
boundless world about him, as meas
ured by the intelligence capable of
grasping the whole Of truth and
knowledge.
eyes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as love
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1925-12-12

and generosity and devotion exist,
and you know that they abound and
give to your life its highest beauty
and joy. Alas! how dreary would be
the world if there were no Santa
Claus! 1t would be as dreary as if
there were no Virginias. There would
be no childlike faith then, no poetry,
no romance to make tolerable this ex-
istence. We should have no enjoy
ment, except in the sense and sight.
The eternal light with which child
hood fills the world would be exiting
uished.
mot believe in Santa Claus! You
might as well not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire men
to watch in all the chimneys on
Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus,
but even if they did not see Santa
Claus coming down, what would that
prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus,
but that is no sign that there is no
Santa Claus. The most real things
in the world are those that neither
children nor men can see. Did you
ever see fairies dancing on the lawn I?
Of course not, but that's no proof
that they are not there. Nobody can
conceive or imagine all the wonders
there are unseen and unseeable in the
world.
"You tear apart a baby's rattle and
see what makes the noise inside, but
there is veil covering the unseen
world which not the strongest man,
nor even the united strength of all
the strongest men, that ever lived
could tear apart.
Only faith, poetry, love, romance,
can push aside that curtain and view
and picture the supernal beauty and
glory beyond. Is it all real? All,
Virginia, in all this world there is
nothing else real and abiding.
"No Santa Claus! Thank God! he
lives forever. A thousand years from
now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten
thousand years from now, he will con-
tinue to make glad the heart of
childhood.
