Meek swung his car from the lane
into the highway and applied the
brakes. Twisting around IN his seat ne
peered into the tonneau, hesitated and
then lifted out the floor rug and laid
it carefully over the parcel he had
carried from his home. A crafty. self
satisfied expression wrinkled the brown
skin about his eyes as he laid his hand
upon the gear lever and pressed down
the clutch. Fear that had ridden him
since early morning seemed to drop be-
hind as the car moved forward. The
thought of a safe deposit box in the

The Talite of Sympathy By LOU PRUITT ROBERTS

his splaymates and general en- vironment When she knocked at this door, she heard general rush and scurry of bare feet about the room, mingled with lit tie giggIes, but in a moment everything was quiet. Then a rather large but pleasan.-looking woman opened the door. The merry twinkle in her eyes and her kindly smile radiated good cheer and sympathy.
 In a matter-of-fact way she said, Harry and the little boy next door have been enjoying them selves in the mud this morning. Then she seemed to dismiss the whole affair from her mind and gave her undivided attention to her caller.
 We all love an understanding mother-one who can sympathize. and will kiss away the tears, or laugh and enjoy our pleasures with us! Harry will surely come to some good end with such a mother" thought the visitor.
 Strange, isn't it. that some par ents fail to realize the importance of sympathy and often alienate their children's affections by be- ing cross and unreasonable. These people seem to forget they once were children. Yet the end to which childish behavior leads gen. erally depends much more upon the parent than upon the child

We read and hear so much about the faults and general mis- conduct of children, but how many parents do you know who really measure up to standard?
 A Sunday school worker started out one morning, trying to get mothers and their children more interested in Sunday school. It had been raining the day before, and little puddles were standing everywhere.
 Her knock at the door of a pretty little home was answered by a rather tired. nervous-looking woman. Before she had finished explaining her mission, boy about ten years of age came in. His clothing. face. hands and feet showed very plainly he had been enjoying the rain and mud.
 In moment the mother com pletely lost her self-control; her temper flared, and Jimmy receiv- ed severe scolding. Tears came to his eyes, and he attempted a meek apology, but the words were hardly begun when his mother stormed. Hush, go at once to your room. I'll see you later"
 In a sullen, rebellious mood, Jimmy started away, but before he was out of hearing, his mother turned to her caller. and in a high-pitched, angry. voice gave vent to her feelings.
 He is the most careless child l have. He has no consideration for me whatever. 1 slave away from morning tin night and he's forever making extra work for me, such as this Pm sure he will come to some bad end. he's so reckless and hard to manage
 As the Sunday school worker listened to Jimmy's mother, she too, was afraid that perhaps some day Jimmy might come to somt bad end. She made several ap peals to this mother with regart to the Sunday school but coult not get her thoughts far enougl away rom her home and it's i'm mediate troubles to arouse her in ferest.
