Dick grinned at her.
I'm that case" he said, will you kindly
show me to my room?"
The indisposition of William, nee Richard,
lasted for only few days. But his conva-
lescence extended over a period of two weeks.
1t became a kind of siege, with Aunt Jane in
the role of the beseger, and Dick assisted by
Sylvia, in role of the besieged. At the end of
that time, Aunt Jane was still firmly intrenched
In her position, Sylvia looked pale and thin, and
Dick looked rested to the point of exhaustion.
"See here" he said to Sylvia one morning
as they were having breakfast on the porch of
the cottage (Aunt Jane was out tramping the
mountains), I'm licked. I can't go on con-
valescing any longer. It's killing me-"

Sylvia laughed. 1t was rather q shaky laugh.
ITO fool Aunt Jane? But what about fooling
ourselves?"
"Oh, we wouldn't have to stay married"
answered Dick. "Id give you q divorce

Dick made deprecatory gesture.

EARLY the next afternoon Dick arrived at
Sylvia's cottage prepared, SO he thought
for all eventualities. He greeted Sylvia by
gracefully kissing her hand.
Then, setting erect and indomitable on the
living room sofa, Aunt Jane advanced to the
attack
set down, william! Set down, sylvial I
want to tall to you two!"
Dick and Sylvia sat down.
'There!" said the old lady. Now, want to
know the reason why you two don't get mar
ried."
Dick looked at Sylvia.
FITS very simple, Aunt Jane" he said You've
noticed, haven't you, that Sylvia isn't wearing
an engagement ring? Well, haven't given her
ring because can't afford it. And we can't
get married for the same reason. I'm poor
man, Aunt Jane"
"Poor!" exclaimed the spinster She turned
her steely glance on her niece. 81 thought you
wrote me, Sylvia, that William was a Million

Sylvia swallowed quickly, and said: II did
and he was!-till lately But he-he got caught
in the panic and lost everything. He's still sort
Of stunned. That's why he came down here to
virginia-to try to get over"
"Shucks!" said Aunt Jane. eff it's nothin'
but money, there's no reason why we can't

bulk Of it'll be Sylvias some day, so you two
nights well have the use of it now You got
pen and ink handy, Sylvia?"
Pen and ink?" queried Sylvia.
Il want to write a check" said Aunt Jane,
rising majestically from the sofa.
But, Aunt jane" gasped Sylvia.
AUNT jane" said Dick
Aunt Jane ignored them. She had spotted
Sylvias writing desk in a corner Of the room.
She made for it with long strides, sat down
at it, drew from some recess in her costume q
checkbook and reached for Sylvia's pen. Sylvia
Sat staring hxedly at her back
Aunt Jane rose. Here's a check" she said,
"for $4,000 I've made it out to you, Will
liam. SOS you won't feel shy bout marryin' an
heiress It's my weddin' present to you, young
man"
"But-good heavens! can't"
you take it this minute!" said Aunt Jane.
She thrust the check into his nerveless fingers.
Now go and kiss Sylvia, and let me see If you
mean it"
He advanced, feeling dazed and took Sylvia
IN his arms. Then something happened A
curious, quick JOY possessed him. Involuntarily
his arms frightened around her.
"Oh!" breathed Sylvia.
81 mean it," said Dick and kissed her.
LET me go!"
Aunt Jane stepped forward. We're goin'
down L the village, right now, TO get your we'd

That night, in the spring house on the
mountain side, two worried young people met

Just
Every
Day
Sense

NH, that the psychologists
~ could get together for oncel
1t was comparatively easy to
bring up a child before this new
science became the vogue. One
simply used ones head, and
prayed each night that the grace
Of God would help.
Now, however, most mothers
are getting quite Anticipated,
what with trying to follow so
much notwithstanding advice
that somehow never does mix
very well.
You know that for years now
we've been told that the baby
must not be bothered. He must
be washed and fed and left alone.
We were warned about his deli
cate nervous system and admon-
ished especially about indulgent
grandmothers.
Rocking was forbidden. Every
thing pleasant that goes with
having a baby has been denied us
for years, and many a poor moth
er has snothered her desire to
play and COO with her darling
because the fear of psychology in
stead Of the fear Of God was in
her heart.
A ND now what happens?
IA Well, another world famous
one comes along, who has, they
say, spent years examining babies
from 1 day old and up. And she
says that unless you want to
wreck your child's life for good by
making him shy and awkward
and inferior, you must not leave
him to lie quietly in his crib. This
indeed is the very worst thing you
can do. Listen to the woman:
Don't leave your few-months-
old baby quietly in his bed, and
breathe a sigh of relief because he
requires so little attention. You'll
be sorry if you do. A child must
have relations with others when
very young. He must play from
the very beginning"
There you are again. You'll be
sorry if you do and you'll be sorry
if you don't.
Sometimes I wonder why we
ever abandoned the Scriptures to
go gadding off after psychology.
