wind rapidity that it wasn't until the
good-byes had been said and they
were actually on their way back to
Hamilton that Jean had u moment
for serious thinking. At home, with
the family around her, il had been
easy to relegate any doubt that she
had TO the background oe her mind.
Then when Con had arrived and had
been taken into the bosom of the
family her cup of happiness had been
filled to the brim. But now that she
was on her way back ana her new
life was about to begin. she found
herself in the grip of a terrible home
sickness. OF course, she had Con, and
she had never really regretted the
hastiness of her step. But the reali-
zation that each mile was carrying
her nearer and nearer Mrs. Morgan
filled her with a vague fear.
OF course. it was nonsense There
was really nothing to worry about,
and she was probably eXaggerating
Mrs Morgan's antagonism. Perhaps
she would be different now that the
first shock was over and she had had
time to get used to the idea. And yet
deep within her heart she felt that
Mrs. Morgan would not change, she
might accept things because she had
to, but she would always reason that
Jean had taken an unfair advantage
of Conrad and would never forgive
her for 1t.

would be plentiful in the Fall. He
showed them where they would find
wild grapes at frost time. He showed
them the best way of getting out Of
br-amblc tangles when hunters should
come in the Fall. He showed them
where they could find water in the
driest weather. He took them to the
thickeSt hemlock trees. He showed
them where there were skunk cab
bage seeds to lte found. He led them
to where the blackbelries grow. He
showed them the thornapple trees.
He knew exactly where in a certain
old road was the very best place TO
take q dust bath.
So it was that they wandered on
and had q beautiful time, and all the
lime were learning those things
which would be of the greatest use
to them in the future. Sometimes,
hidden beside the road, they peeped
out and saw those two-legged crea-
lures called men. and Mr.. Grouse ex-
planned how these were the greatest
enemies OF all--the most dangerous
enemies.
There will come a. time when the
weather is cool" said Mr.. Grouse.
that these two-legged creatures will
come into the Green Forest looking
for US It would not be so bad if
they tried to get us as others do. but
they carry things which spit forth fire
and smoke, which hurt while they are
yet a considerable distance. So 1t is
we'll to learn every thicket, every
brush heap, every hill and valley and
gully, every path and road and
bramble tangle, against the day when
they may be needed. For that day
will surely come. 1t is the Grouse
who knows best how to put bushes
or brambles or trees between him and
one of these two-legged creatures
who is most likely to escape"
Mrs. Grouse nodded her head.
True. very true" said she. And,
children, there is no one who knows
how to do these things better than
does your father. If you do as he
tells you and follow his example,
you will live long. You will live to
become gray, and the Grouse who
these days lives to become gray is a
wise bird. What these two-legged
creatures want to kill us for, / don t
know"
And so the Summer passed and the
young Grouse, as big as their par
ents, still kept together. awaiting the
coming of the dreadful hunting time.

What I TomorrowMeaas toYou
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrows planeta y aspects can
not be considered favorable for Sun
day. as the signs portend a. day Of
unrest, nervousness and dissatisfac-
ton. In view of such conditions it
behooves you to exercise more than
usual self-control and refrain from do
ing or saying those things that may
annoy or vex other people.
Children born tomorrow are des-
! tined to enjoy practical immunity to
all sickness during infancy. Later
on, however, the signs denote that
they will be subjected to one or more
serious illnesses between the time of
adolescence and maturity. There is
evidently no reason TO anticipate
grave consequences or 10 be unneces-
sarily alarmed. but they will tax your
resources Of care and patience to the
utmost Temperamentally, they will
leave much to be desired, although
age will cure them of most of the
unfortunate characteristics they will
evidence in their early years.
If tomorrow is your birthday you
have great credence and are very
susceptible to flattery. You possess
no great degree of intellectually, nor
do you worry yourself overmuch with
those questions that should interest
all Thoughtful citizens. You prefer the
idle cffatter ana gossip OF the Gay anu
the neighborhood. The reading in
which you indulge is never OF very
serious character. You prefer the
newspapers and lighter magazines.
You are not indolent. You do
fairly well that which you have 10
do, but YOU are never trying to do
what you need not do. You possess
little or no ambition. are Indifferent
TO criticism, but hungry for adulation
and appreciation.
Your nature is olfectionate, even at
times demonstratively so. You do
possess a certain charm of manner
and expression that attracts, but none
seek you for real companionship.
Your home life. IL mated with one
born in March or August, should be
reasonably happy, as there will there
by be secured q mixture OF light and
heavy, which should produce a good
general average.
Well known persons born on that
date are: John Brown "of OssaWa-
tonne" abolitionist: John Brougham.
actor: George Davidson, geologist and
astronomer: Charles II. Cramp, ship
builder: William H. Goodwin, scholar.

more real and worthwhile in their
handling of life?
Answer-This pregnant question de-
serves the compliment OF an unhur-
ried Judgment. It's anKWer does not
lie upon the surface. But certain con-
siderations indicate the best approach
TO the matter.
Is not your backward gaze haunted
by the dreams of youth? One un-
consciously reverts TO the memories
and viewpoints OF the age of innocence
and allows their swift, sure and sim
pie outlook to sway ones judgments
Of the present.
Could you have shared the actual
social life of your ancestors you would
have found in all probability that they
mourned over its shortcomings and
want OF purpose as you do over the
failures of the present.
No distance lends such beguiling
enchantment to the view as that
which youth imposes upon age. How
often we hear OF the halcyon days
when

cared little for bonnets and less for
And nothing for crnoline
But in what calendar were those
| days ever registered save in the one
| compiled by our juvenile visions?
OF course. the age of Pericles was
wonderful in selected places and
among selected people. So were the
thirteenth century and the periods OF
! the Renaissance and the American
/ Revolution. But human life in the
main is essentially the same with this
differential, that progress is more or
| less assured to It. So the question
| you put can be found inscribed on
Babylonian tablets 1000 years old
Then as always those who were chief
| mournerS at the hearse OF Time"
lamented a vanished Atlantis and
yearned for what was not.
Yet. when scientific research dis
pels the glamor which obscures the
past. it reveals, as does the present,
the sordid and the noble. the super
flous and the necessary existing side
by side as they exist here and now.
The best conception of life is OBJ
tanned from its longitudinal reckon
ings. Do not conf1ne yourself TO q
limited outlook hampered by a low
visibility. You are too near your age
to judge it fairly. And if its World
War heroisms, its sacrifices for sci
entif1c and religious enterprises. and
its heroical reScues at sea are tokens

this age still has in it that uncon
querable spirit that will yet bring in
the golden age.
