Mary's Promised Reward for
 Returning to School,

My heart ached poignantly for Mary Harrison as Lillian named the condition upon which she would help her attain her ambition. knew that no torture of the Inquisition would appear more horrible to the high spirited. sensitive girl than would the public apology 10 the school. This was the place she hated and from which she had been suspended for engineering midnight entertain ment among the pupils. That her prank deserved punishment l knew, also knew that in wiser. saner in- stitution tho fire, energy, the skill and the intuition which the girl had shown would have been encouraged instoa. of repressed and would haYo been directed in channels that would have given her approval instead Of Censure.
 However, the Justice of her punish nent was not the question al stake. Lillian had made that most plain. It was to settle forever the calibre of the girl, the quality Of her stcadfast- ness and her ability to undergo dis ciplne that had led my friend to advise this grucling test for her.
 But. though l approved Lillian's course and knew that it was neces- sary, I could not look at the girls face while she listened to the ulti- matum which meant such mental torture 10 her. did not believe that Lillian was watching her, either. l know my friends tender heart. and she would not willingly give pain to any living creature.
 For minute that seemed an hour there was no sound In the room save the quick, uneven breathing of the girl stretched on the rack Of h. decision. Then hnr voice sounded, infinitely weary but firm.
 "Very well: I'll do it." she said.
 I restrained an impulse 10 rush over 10 her and clasp her in my arms and knew that Lillian was combat ting a similar inclination, But there vas q tense sayaGery In that quiet voice which made us both realize the compulson which the girl was put ting upon her nerves, It was no inc For emotion.

I've been keeping an eye open for them fore several days. but haven't seen them yet
 Do you suppose they have come up from the Sunny South?" inquired Peter.
 Again Bob shook his head q don't know" said he.
 Have you heard what they look like" Peter inquired.
 This time Bob White nodded. Yes" said he, I've heard, but l don't believe what I've heard. You see, l don't believe there is any such looking person, I've never heard Of the birds who go south for the winter tell of any such looking person down i there as one of these is said 10 be. They do say he is so puffcd ID over his own looks that he will have noth- finS 10 do with anybody else. But, as I said before, do not believe all l hear. ! must see these strangers for myself"
 | Peter nodded that funny little head of his. Quite right, I}oh White. Quite right" said he. "Thcro is noth- ing like seeing for oneself. Where did you hear that these strangers were seen, and who did you hear had seen them?"
 "Blacky the Crow Is said to have seen them" replied Bob White. "I got 1t from Carol tho Meadow Lark. and he was told by Little Friend the Song Sparrow, and he had il from sammy Jay, who said that Blacky the Crow told him. The story is that Blacky saw these strangers on the edge of the Green Meadows close by the Old Pasture and later on the edge of the Old Orchard nearest to the Green Forest. Nov you know as much as I know"
 Thanks" said Peter. "Thankt very much. Bob White. I believe IT run over to the old Orchard"
 Bob chuckled. I've just come from there" said he. The stranger. may have been there. but they arc not there now"
 Peter looked disappointed. Then. said he, "I think I'll run over 10 tht Old Pasture"
 Bob White chuckled again "You'll be wasting your time" sait he. I've been over there, too, ant not a trace of the strangers coulC I find. There's Blacky the Crow now T wi5h led come over here. w, might be able 10 get at the trutl in regard 10 this rumor."

Another menace to health during the summer months is tempcratlre. High temperature alone has harm full influence upon very young chiI- dren. Babies cannot readily adapt Themselves to extremely hot weather,
 Most children must be protected from heat at home during the sum- nor. Very light clothing should be uSod hut care should be taken to prevent chilling at night and ex- posture 10 drafts. The baby should receive a daily tub hath ami one or two cyira sponge baths may be given 10 promote the elimination of heat. The amount of pure drinking water given a baby should be in- creased during hot weather. i It is important for you to rrmcm m- brr that usually, unless there be very good ventilation, the temperature in- side dwelling during very hot I weather may he considerably ligher than the outdoor temperature. This 1 is especially true during thc late afternoon and during thF latter part fot the summer. Whenever possible, n baby should bc out of doors sev- rral hours each day, He should not, however. be exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
 Another danger which is more to ho feared in sumner is the partial intolerance for food which occurs in very hot weather.

 Mary made no answer. l guessed that she could not speak, and turned to Lillian with some per tunctory inquiry as 10 the time she had scheduled for her return 10 her hotel. By the time she had answered it the young girl had pulled her self together and her voice Was steady as she asked:

 checked an astonished exclama- ton. Did sho know of Mrs. Brath. waites impending arrival or was she simply making q shreWd guess? saw LillianS eyes travel over the girls face in the same query, and then Mary spoke again:
 "I cant help knowing sho Is on the way" she said apologetically. "sh" couldn't do anything else, bocaus" she thinks its her duty. Shes catch the first train. Poor Aunt Harriet, suppose I've been an awful trial to

You can call to mind the strong will
type-the man or woman who is noted
for positiveness, stability, decisions
and often stubbornness. The individ-
ual who is not easily diverted from his
purposes, has habit Of following GER
tain definite lines Of effort until he at
tains success and refuses to be side
tracked" One Of his characteristics
Is that Of a great degree of self conf
dence. self-respect. self.reliance and be-
lief in both his mental and physical
abilities.
Study the Uranium and IL there is a
prominence in the region Of the middle
of the top head--the crown and the
space just back of the crown, all along
the centerline of the top back head
you hay know that there is e. person
or the strong will type.
When the faculties of firmness and
pride at large the head at and Just
