"Are you really ; twenty-four, Peter -Peter, and gging to be married in a week?" "Seems so, little Mother. Inn are -4 n't sorry?"

I'm glad all through. Only as the great day draws near, the mother in me cries out tp have yon all to myself. just a Iittle while like this." The Iong hands again fell to stroking the head resting against her knees. "No man ever loved a girl better than I love Ruth, Mother. But no-, thing can ever make any difference' in my love for you. It's so great, it is beyond expression." He spoke solemnly. Had he not trie,i to take 'his father's place? Had he not worked and planned and dreamed for her as well as for Ruth these past five years? "You like the herse the way Ruth and I hare gone over and arranged it? There isn't so much that is new hut it's all homelike. You've worked hard these years, my son. We've worked together; I in the school and you in your store. I'm proud, Peter, when I think how you've built up that business. Books and stationery and such things as you have, are pleas- ant to work with and you have learn- ed how to handle people. But you will not stop with the store, Peter. After you and Ruth get your start, other chances will open up." "I do have other plans than the store, Mother. This town will give me lots of chances, by and by. Bat now I must hold to my one sure thing till I'm ahead enough to risk a change.. I've been planning some- thing for you, Mother. I wish you would rest a year from teaching if you aren't willing to give it up final- ly. There will be enough for us all. Ruth thinks you are working too hard ---that you look tired." "I know, Peter. Perhaps I am little tired. But work is my best chance for peace. It's God's good gift to me. It came to met like Hope out of Pandora's box of evils, when the road seemed too rough for my feet to travel: Ah, Peter, I will al- ways hold to it.

You will discover thisl "At times one has to let the object of it go be torn away from its dear, human presence. Then work comes. Ah, Peter, these five years since your father has been gone, work has been my meat and drink.

(To be continued.) - CAPTURING A MINE -LAYER Clever Ruse of a Diver Resulted in Surrender of German U -Boat. Extraordinary things happened to. the U.S. destroyer flotilla as they hunted the German submarine, but the strangest adventure of all came in a British port where -some of the U.S. ships were tied up. A German submarine mine -layer had wormed its way in and was letting out its mines when the crew was startled by a tap- ping on the conning tower. Some one with a hammer tapped out this message in International code: "Rise and surrender or depth charge will be exploded against your hull." The .commander of the submarine was too confused to act, and again came the dasbes and dofs spelling out a warning: "Depth charge has been wired and lowered." Then up came the submarine, and a thofoughly frightened commander surrendered to the destroyers. The' man who hammered out the message was a diver at work on a sunken ship in the harbor. "jI saw this feller," he said. .. "I used to know the International Morse. code in the navy, so I tapped him the message with my hammer." "Was there a depth bomb, as you told him?" "No! Thatwas bluff. I figured that if I could scare the submarine `to the surface the destroyers would: have no trouble ip taking care of it."
