Peter -Peter Marries Ruth

"What are you thinking about? Come
and sit beside me a little while.",
Aline Sanford yeaehed out her long,:
slender harris and stroked Peter's
tow -colored head. "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?" Peter smiled the ador-'
ably broad smite that he had from'
his father. Wavering through it
were quavers of :ender concern for
the mother whom he worshuppcd.

"You'll he right here with us, in

of you and all our happiness will be
;'ours, too, But you will lead your
own life. Your rooms must be as
absolutely yours as if they were in
another house. You're to be free,
dear. to de just as you please. Ruth
cares for you almost as much as she
cares for me. And you love Ruth?"
"Lore Ruth? She's not hard, to
love, Peter -Peter. Indeed, I'm not
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. Sometimes it seems
to mo the only enduring good on
. earth. Love is more mystical, dear-
er, sweeter; ,itself as enduring. 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. I should have
grown soft without it, soft and self-
pitying, in those first days when "I
had tolearn z to live without your
father and in those later, almost
harderears when w n I had to go on

Ruth's eyes, turned toward Peter's -

joy and half diem and very tender with
that other part of joy that issso near'

She was small and perfectly made,,

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
