 The matter Is interesting to all married women for the thought 1t brings up about those of times. T They are times that are fraught with danger. And the danger 1, not only in writing down something that will be damaging long after 1t is regretted, but the danger of saying something that will be re- membered by others long after 1t Is forgotten by the husband or wife involved. It is a fault more com. mon to women than men to speak impulsively at such time to ex. press the dissatisfaction of the mo- ment without thought to the fact that It makes a permanent impress sion.
 My advice to the woman who finds herself irresistibly tempted to such unwisdom is to have a special lock for the door of her most inac- cessible room, to which she can go at such dangerous times until the agitation of the incident and Its ra [ impulses have safely passed.

 When he moved about he took the greatest care to move silently. Every few steps he stopped to look, listen and test the air. The snapping of a twig would set him to trembling with fear and suspl cion.
 Lightfoot was watching and walt Ing for the coming of the most dreadful thing that can come into the lives of the people of the Green Forest, the coming of the hunters with terrible guns. Sometimes he wished they would come. It would be easier to know what to do. Noth- ing, you know, Is harder than watching and waiting as Lightfoot was doing. He lost his appetite. He could no longer sleep peacefully, but continually awoke with fright. Each day he became more anxious. No sooner was one day ended than he would begin to dread the coming of another day. It was very beau. tlful in the Green Forest, but Light. foot saw none of the beauty. Fear destroyed all beauty for Lightfoot.

 The remark was in reference to a sensational incident in an already sensational murder trial that for some time held first page space in newspapers all over the country.
 A woman's husband was on trial for murder and she was on the wit ness stand. His attorneys had tried through her testimony to prove that they were very happily married and now she was being cross-examined.
 Suddenly the prosecutor whipped out a piece of paper which con tained statements furnishing un- questionable evidence of marital rift" They were statements that she did not wish to back up, with which she did not agree, and which were damaging to her and her hus-

THE FAMILY REUNION
By ANNE CAMPBELL

THE family reunion will be held | again this year. Once more we will renew the mel
 low friendships, tried and dear. Almost a hundred years ago, this
 homestead was a dream, A plan told In the candleglOw that
 made young glances gleam. If these brick walls could speak,
 they'd tell tale of love
 grown old;
 A cycle of warm hearts that blessed
 its hospitable fold. A hundred years, a hundred souls
 that gather once again To testify to far-fung goals, and
 happy wives and men. The family reunionl Heaven throws
 blue skies aboyel The day is touched with gold that
 is so wound about with love, And for each guest assembled here
 there are too many more That are so far and yet so near,
 upon a trackless shore. God bless the famllyi Make strong
 Its deep, abiding ties. Love that Is tended keeps the
 warmth and beauty that we
 prize;
 And even sunset skies are red with
 cheer In winter weather, When good friends gather, com
 forted, around a fire together !

the flame of AnaWrata's zeal. \ fresh field for enterprise was found in CeylOn There was in that island a most sacred relic, nothing less than a tooth of Gautama. Such a trophy was beyond price and it's possession by Pagan would sanctl- fy and ennOble the kings name. Ac. cordingly, with four trusty captains, mounted on matchless steeds, Ana wrata hastened to the seashore and embarked for Ceylon at nightfall.
 But unseen hands were fighting on the side of the sovereign of Cey- Ion and sacred tooth. The ship sped swiftly on through the night. Yet when the travellers awoke 1t was to find themselves anchored a little below Pagan!
 Baffled but not defeated. Ana wrata sent an envoy to Sangabodhi, the king, an envoy who bore many costly presents and who was in. structed to demand the tooth of Guatama in return.
 Gautama Supplied Teeth.
 Sangabodhi, unwilling to surren- der his most precious possession, yet fearful of arousing the ire of so dreadful a monarch as the king of Pagan, was in sore straits. In his distress he expressed the wish that he might have two such teeth. No sooner had he given utterance to this desire than the tooth pro- duced fellow exactly resembling itselfl In fact, the two were ln- distinguishable until the original declared itself by rising into the air and performing miracles
 The duplicate was placed in a casket of gold and delivered to the envoy who carried 1t back with great pomp to Pagan.
 To solve the difficulty of choos- ing a site for the enshrinement of the prize, the casket was placed on the back of a white elephant, and it was announced that wherever the animal halted there should be the resting place of the tooth.
 Much to the disappointment of all, the elephant bearing his pre- cious burden crossed the river and knelt down near the Tangyi hills. This was very far from the palace, and the king expressed his regret that he also had not two sacred teeth. Here again the wish was father to the miracle. Immediate ly there were two teeth Instead of one The duplicate was placed on the elephants back and the beast was hidden to move on.
 Five times the elephant halted be- fore reaching the neighborhood of the palace, and at each place the tooth was miraculously multiplied, until at last the site of the Lokan- anda was reached and the king pro- fessed himself satisfied. At each stop a shrine was built, and at the last was reared the pile which still remains as one of the monuments to Anawrata's greatness.

Conquered by the Chinese.

Ni'fHS' Sd bJ AlC SHinSScs
 For more than two centuries the successors Of Anawra ta more or less worthily maintained the dignity and prestige of Pagan. But in the north was developing n power that was soon tO engulf not Pagan only, but almost the entire continent of Asia. Kublai Khan in 1254 con- quered what is now Yunnan, and the Chinese were thus brought into contact with Burma. To the result ing conflict there could be but one issue. In 12S6 Pagan fell before invaders from the north, never again to attain historical signlfic- ance. Of the great battle between the two armies on the plain of Vociam, Marco Polo gives a graph ic and spirited account.
 Though under the circumstances, the fall of Pagan was inevitable, the last king of that unfortunate capital stands in pitiful contrast to the great Anawrata. Known to hls- tory as Tayokpyemln, the King Who Ran Away From the Chinese, he was utterly unworthy of his noble office. In the Mingalazedi is an in- scription which commentaries his achievements at the table. Here 1t is recorded that he never dined off fewer than three hundred dishes!
 While the Chinese host was yet q long way from the city, the cow ardly king fled down the river to Bassein. When the cooks whom he had taken with him were able to produce only 150 dishes, the full horror of his position dawned upon the unhappy monarch. He burst in- to childish tears and exclaimed, Now I am poor indeedl"
 When the invaders had taken their toll of Pagan and retired, he thought of returning. At Prone, however, he was met by one of his sons, who offered him poisoned food. For time the weakling hesi- tated. At last, convinced that 1t was better to die so than by the sword, he yielded and met fate that, as few writers have avoided the temp- tation to remark, was singularly ap- propriate to his chara cter.
