A Short Story
GcPhrBrFD VOWS

small boats put out to welcome the
arrivals. How good it was to have
messages from loved ones after so
long a time, while the food supply
was truly ufe-saver to the strug-
Cling colonists. Roger was living
with the Ames family when the
Lyon came to Salem and to them
also came the young minister,
Roger Williams. From the first
the two Rogers were good friends,
and when the elder learned the
tragic fate Of the child's parents, he
took more than passing interest.
Until his coming the colonists
had been a sad-faced lot, any out
ward sign of rejoicing or merri-
ment being frowned upon as sinful,
but he babe them put off their
sternness, teaching them that to see
and enjoy beauty was only another
way of being thankful for it. It
made Roger very happy to learn
this, for his heart was ever singing
with the beauty Of the world and
he longed to express it. At first
only a few would listen to the
young minister's teachings, but
gradually others began to see the
wisdom Of these and to follow them.
When his home was completed he
took little Roger to live with him
and in the long evenings beside the
huge fireplace where whole log
burned slowly, there were lessons.
. No question was ever too trivial
for the man to explain to the lad.
Often he made visits to the In
dams, the Narragansetts being on
excellent terms with their white
Brother" These trips proved a
glorious time for little Roger, who
soon learned to talk with the In
dian boys and taught them little
of his own language. After one of
their visits to the Narragansett
camp the chiefs son, boy several
years older than Roger, came for
ward with a most wonderful Indian
costume, offering it to Roger as
gift in thankfulness for his teach
ing the English" It was feather
trimmed and had gorgeous bead de-
signs embroidered in many cOlors.
There were beaded moccasins, too,
and Roger had never been so proud
in his life as he was when his fos-
ter-father babe him put them on In
honor Of his friends.

 The emperor's twenty-ninth year, following that of his formal en- thronement at kyoto in November. 1928, has been relatively without ex- citement, but not without its satis- factions. His small immediate fam fly was increased by the birth on September 30, 1929. Of little Princess Taka, the third daughter born to the sovereign and Empress Nagako. (Thc second of these little princesses died carly In 1928 at the age of 6 months).
 Stin Has No Son
 The emperor is still without q son to succeed him, so his younger brother, Prince Chichibu, continues to be the heir presumptlve. Both Hirohito and his consort, however, are young and in good health, and their subjects still hope that q crown prince will be born to them.
 During the past year the emperor has witnessed the formal completion of the reconstruction of his capital, Tokyo, and it's seaport, Yokohama. after the great disaster of earth. quake and fro which devastated them September l, 1923.
 More than any of his predecessors, Emperor Hirohito travels about his domains and is seen by and known to his subjects. Much of the re-. ligious awe with which Japan has invested its rulers for over o,00D years persists, but gradually the po- sition of the mikado becomes more like that of the monarchs of Eu- rope.
