NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIII
AN immense stone building,
"A across whose windows iron
bars kept guard perpetually. This
was the thing the nan at the
iower-beds hated with n consum-
ing hatred-his home.
Along the grayeled walks a
party CT visitors was being con-
Quoted by q guard-men and
women carrying open notebooks
and ever-poised fountain pens or
pencils. They asked questions and
wrote down the guards answers
avidly. consulting each other rs
they wrote, chattering. looking
alertly around, sometimes laugh
ing.
Laughing The man who bent
over the nower-bed gritted his
teeth in hatred Of all the laughter
on earth.
They called him Mr.. Smith. He
was a trusty. and he was espe-
cially good with flowers. They
said he had been q botanist in his
day. Sometimes John Smiths
hatred hung suspended and i'm
potent in the dark chambers OF
his heart while he contemplated
an opening flower. q budding
plant, q struggling seed, but Il
never went away entirely. He
kept Il there, ready 10 use against
life and the people who had mis-
used him.
A plan was forming In Mr..
Smiths head. AS he worked the
soil around a purple chrysanthe-
mum he thought the thing out.
He would leave with the Wis
itors when they went away.
In m hour. perhaps two hours
he could not be sure because
OF the tumult in his mind-he
heard them coming. The same
guard was with them, a man
whom he did not know by name
or sight. A man who perhaps did
not know him. On this thread
hung his FIRST hope.
AS they circled the grounds,
following the graveled driveway
and observing the Keep on the
Grass signs. they passed quite
lear the 1ower-beds.
THEY passed Mr.. Smith without
- a glance. for there was moth

quiet, shattered face 20 attract

and Joined them. In his hands
he held Q notebook and fountain
pen. He was taking notes.
They were approaching q high
stone wall where the driveway led
TO an iron gate. Guards with guns
paced the broad top OF the wall.
Other guards stood at the gate.
Mr.. Smith moved into the thick
est OF the crowd and continued
with his notes.
when the gate presently changed

WHY NOT BE KINDI

So brief time we have to stay
Along this dear, familiar way:
1t seems to me we should be kind
To those whose lives touch yours
and mine.
The hands that serve us every day,
Should we not help them while we
may?
They are so kind that none can
How soon they'll cease our lives to
bless.
The hearts that love US. who may
know
How soon the long. long way must
go;
Then might we not their faults for
give
And make them happy while they
live?
So many faults in life there are
We need not go to seek them far;
But time is short and you and I.
Might let the little faults go by.
And seek for what is true and fine,
In those whose lives touch yours
and mine;
This seems to me the better way,
Then why not, friend, begin today?

EASY BUT DANGEROUS
FLORENCE +. WlNTERsURN

Among the first of the human
emotions is Fear. Even people who
have never studied Psychology know
that it is the easiest thing in the
world to work upon a child's sense
of terror. Careful parents avoid do
ing it however provoking the case of
naughtiness may be. Among students
Of little children, putting boys and
girls into dark closets went out a
generation ago, and more and more
corporal punishment is being con-
sidered absolutely the last resort.
Yet sad to say, many, many mo-
theirs are still governing their famil-
les after the fashion they know the
best and find the easiest: that of
fear. Even some who have been
taught better complain that any
other way takes up too much time,
is too tedious. and is, they contend
because they have never really made
the test-less effective. And they
add, Mothers shouldn't be expected
to be saints!"
OF course, we do have to remem-
ber that one of the last lessons any
body learns in life is to be patient
and tolerant of faults in others. Are
there many weeks in the life of any
one of us-the most cultured, the
best disciplined-when he or she
does not yield to the temptation to
criticize, to look scornful or feel dis
dainful? The best among us are in
this respect weak. Is it strange then
that mothers who have only half the
strength for motherhood that they
need, because of the hard strain of
living in these days of excessive
competition of every sort, find it
hard to free themselves from the do
miniOn of the long established hab-
its of blaming, threatening and pun
ishing?
l gave lectures some years ago, to
"slum mothers" down on the lower
East Side of Manhattan. Many were
eager to learn, but a more dificult
duty has seldom fallen to my lot
than to try to make mothers who
were either hardened, or discOur-
aged, or weary understand that a
child is not like a mass of dough,
