Used in M l Uons Tea,,Pots Daily The' Duchess intervenes By CORA LINDA. .. , PART I. "Earl's son files his petition in: bankruptcy. Liabilities t15,000, as -1 sets nil." William Dysart Farquhar, known to his intimates as "BM," thrust his hands deep into his trouser pockets! and withdrew the linings, thereby! exposing to vie* the fact that they were empty. "Not a stirer," he remarked to him- f self, for he was alone in the luxurious-; ly fitted and madly untidy sitting room of his suite in Piccadilly. Then he read again that engaging! paragraph in the morning paper which; informed all and sundry that yet an- other evion of an ancient house had conic a cropper. Casually Bill's eyes drifted to some-; thing by the side of that portion of the paper which he had all to himself —an, advertisement. It read a fol-; lows: `"In a select suburb a high-class s grocery bus'ness for sale. Absolutely! a bargain. gain. A gold mine to an enter -1 prising young man. Price £300." Bill glanced at himself in a mirror: oppeeite, at his sunburnt skin and it -f regular features, the wide hureorous mouth, the decidedly rugged nose, the! masa of dark hair plastered straight! back from his forehead. ""Are you au enterprising young, Man, Bill?" ha inquired of hi refiec-: tion. the most noticeable thing! abe.:t his face his chin cleft and square—stuen out aggressively: as thouih to answer h's quest on. It! Vii diixiet t now to realize that; thisrci•sh young spendthrift could;. give a. creditable account of himself, where it wa necessary for things to hopac v •—aryl he had done things "Sr - cy:her,' in France." But Bill wan e i to forget the time when he he;neighed at death and made others larglt through hie: dauntless pluck. i brow wee v:-rinkled into a was doing what r ,.s on .I , at was a very] Y 1 1 ro v:�a � t.. n:- for h l.a—thi.alcing•. s; it all, I'll do - t, he e.tclaim- e' ,cee,,y,_ 1 at do:.n at a desk, took up a peand rttlirinaged for notepaper: a .t g a medley of pipes, cigarette endo, and matches. Finally- he settled dovn to the laborious task of writing - a letter. Bill's calligraphy was his weakest ; point. When he had finished he sat back in hie chair; his smile was cherubic, but at the corners of those wicked eyee there lurked a twinkle of pure devilment. "'The neor old Duchess—if she only km's:: but she'll do it, God bless her, she'll do it." * , Si :re people are inclined to the o> -,inion That clothes make the man. L d William Dysart Farquhar was the e..ception that proves the rule. In a epot:ess white apron, his shot s1ee: ee rolled to his elbows, he looked a fine specimen of a young English- man. Ile stood behind the counter of a neat. well -stocked little shop off the I'uir:ai,, Road, the shop that had been dcseribed in the advertisement as "a g d mine to an enterprising young RS=t11: ' Over he door was inscribed in large letters the name "William Dy- seri'," y- s« t ' and sometimes Lord William wt u,d stare up at the sign and a queer pride would stir in his breast. He'd say to himself, "Bill, my lad, it's making a man of you." Of course, it was all very irregular. A discharged bankrupt had no right to start in a business, but no one knew that "William Dysart" was a bankrupt—he wasn't. It Was the son of the Earl of Melton who was the bankrupt, and he, according to his distracted family, had gone abroad until things blew over, To -night, as he stood at the door preparatory to starting for his cus- tomary evening stroll, he felt a twinge of loneliness. With a sigh he lit a cigarette. Then something happened. Round the bend a car swept at a frightful angle.. There was a crash, and the next mo- ment the form of a girl was flung almost at his feet. Bill Dysart never lost his head;he picked her up in his arms and with- out more ado carried her into the Shop. In a few seconds she was ly7. dug on the sofa in his little parlor. She stirred uneasily. Then ler eyes opened and.she stared up. at him. Bill was standing over her with "his hand's thrust ,sleep. into his trouser` pockets. lnvoltintavily, as her eyes /met his, he whistled. He didn't mean to be rude; he.just bouldn't help hitn- self. She was hike a dainty bit of Dres- den china, all. pink and white and delicate, with eyes that were of ,lark brown velvet shaded by thick 'curling lashes, Dill beamed upon:her reassuringly. "Don't be frightened; 1~ brought you in herr "because it seemed' about the most sensible thing to do; you've had st deuce of e shaking. I bet you feel as if you'd been played football with."; YJhe rat tv). an.'! a real ial lwlt;it:sr, broke from her red lips. "You bet I do," she replied, with equal slangi- ness, She clasped her hands in her lap. "I like this room no end. It's so 'homey'," she said. There was a touch of wistfulness in her voice. Bill seated himself beside her. "The way you said that makes me thank you aren't used to being 'homey'," he said. "No, we're much too rich to be com- fortable," she replied, naively; then she added quickly, and the warm blood dyed her cheeks: "Oh, doesn't that sound horribly snobbish? But you understand, don't yqu?" She smiled into Bill's blue eyes, and he smiled back. "Absolutely!" Presently the visitor seemed to real- ize the unconventional aspect of the whole affair, for she jumped up in some confusion. "I mustn't trespass on your hospitality any longer," she sa_d. "I'ni quite all right now." Bill's face expressed blank astonish- ment and chagrin. "I say, you simply can't be all right after being chucked out of a billy car into the road. It —it was .a positively awful adventure; you must sit still for a while." - Then the girl burst •out laughing. "Good gracious, it's not the first time I've been chucked out of a car; I drive, you know. I've done that twice be- fore. Daddy said he wouldn't let me out any more on my own if it happen- ed again, so, of course, I shan't tell hien. For the second time since he had made the acquaintance of this aston- ishing young lady, Bill whistled. "Well, I'm hanged," was all he could say, It was when he was walking beside her to the car that was standing by the curb that he remembered he didn't know her name. She glanced at him roguishly .out 'o the corners of her eyes. "Ninette." "What a jolly name," Bill said, en- thusiastically; at which she hastened to add: "Ninette Parsons." "Parsons." He wrinkled his brows. "I seem to know the name." "You do," dryly. "I saw it twice as we were passing through your shop —on the jam pots; that's us, Parsons' jams." "By Jove, so you are the Jam King's daughter!" She bowed with mock ceremony. "At your service." "Delighted to meet you, Miss Par- sons," he said, gravely, taking her hand in his. "I suppose this is good-bye?" he asked, as only Bill Farquhar could ask, and those wicked blue eyes -were pleading. Ninette held her head at a bewitch- ing angle. Then very demurely she whispered: "Well, perhaps it's only —Au revoir." * * * * Ninette came very often after that to the little shop in Fulham, drawn thither by the age-old magnet called Lave. She didn't really realize it; she just knew that the world was, fairer, that the sun shone in her heart even when old London was wrapped in one of her special fogs. It isn't necessary to add that Nin- ette's papa was blissfully ignorant of his daughter's charming romance. And then. one night things came to ahead, as they had been ordained to since Ninette made her startling en- trance into the life of Bill Dysart Farquhar. (To be continued.)

The founder of the Kindergarten appeals to parents thus—"Play is not trivial, it is highly serious and of deep significance. Cultivate raid foster it, 0 mother;protect and guide it, 0 father, To the calm keen vision of one who truly knows human nature, the spontaneous play of the child dis aloees the future life of the man." Parents who enter into the play interests of their children gain their confidence and affection, Where `there is real understanding and sympathy in the home, children are not tempted to go to outsiders for amusement. It is only by taking a real interest in what the child does that we draw him to us. We can not demand entrance into his life. Parents may exact obedience, but no one can exact affection. Happy the home where the mother plays with her children. The mother who works every moment is no joy to herself nor to her family, for if she does not become irritable she gen- erally smothers spontaneity and hap- piness, nor does she ever know what it means to be the GLORIFIED mother at the end of the day. The "glorified" mother is the one who finds recreation .. an having the family together after the tea things are put away. She can join in the children's games, such as drop the handkerchief, hide the thimble, con- undrums, parchesi, dominos, or the simple card games such as "slap jack" and "everlasting." At other times she can read aloud the bedtune stories, but, however she may join her chil- dren in play she should find it her blessed privilege to bring harmony and reflection out of the day's ex- periences so that the children will feel "That God's in His heaven, All's right with the world." Busy mothers who want suggestions on how and what to play with- chil- dren will find the following books of great value. Mothers who. do not care to purchase them should request that they be placed upon the shelves of the public libraries in their towns.

Marcia's cheeks were glowing, her eyes brilliant; her carriage was mili- tant, not to say triumphant. Tired Moliy Bowen looked up from the pile of seventh -grade arithmetic papers, stared in amazement. "What has happened to you, Marcia Banks?" she cried. "This noon you looked as dragged as all the rest of us, and •declared that you were going to give up teaching till the price of coats came down or until you were an angel and didn't need a oat! It isn't" —an excited gleam of hope leaped into the tired eyes—"you haven't heard that our salaries—" "Not yet," Marcia replied. "But it may come. I feel at this moment as if anything might happen. I am a living example of the life-giving power of Truth. I've just had a call from Mrs: Bartley Brown in regard to Bartley Brown, Jr." "Bartley Brown!" Molly echoed. "Bartley Brown! Why, what-" "Has he to do with truth ?" Marcia finished for her. "Very little.' That was one of the things that I had the pleasure of telling his mother. She came to complain about his report, as you may have surmised. She came gorgeously gowned and shod and sabled. She had several unpleasant things to say, and I let h'ee say them and free her mind. Then I told her it was my turn. I asked her how many boys like Bartley she would like to take care of for five hours a day, to say nothing of trying to make them use their minds. Would she do it at any price? Would she do it for nine hundred .dollars a year? She said. that the salary was low, and the authorities ought to do something about it. I told her that she couldn't put it off that way because to all intents and purposes she ',vas the authority—she and people like her, That if all the mothers who heaved sighs of telief when their children started for school would insist upon the teachers being adequately paid, they would be paid. 1 further told her that 'I considered that teachesi were among the very few real patriots left!°' "0 Marcia!" Molly protested in alarm, "Yes, 1 did, You have to put things picturesquely for the Mrs. Browns, and often for the mothers who aren't Mrs. Browns' but who are too tired enol worried to think beyond their. dors.

I told herthat often ,t was more than teach- ing- that. we had to try to undo, in twenty-five hours a week the home training of the other hundred and forty-three hours. She left very meek, —stunned, in 'fact,—saying that site. would be glad to help us, she was sure." "Do you think she will?" Molly in- quired. "Certainly not. My relief was purely psychological—to my own feelings. But, 0 Molly," Marcia's gay voice changed wistfully, "if only the mothers would help!" Hot Bread for Breakfast.

A remarkable story of how a pea- sant girl probably saved the life of King Albert, of the Belgians, has just been made public. The girl is. Mlle: Angelica Vercam- men, who, while riding in a train on her way to Antwerp overheard a con- versation between a German officer and a nurse, in which they plotted to blow up the palace in Brussels on February 19th, 1919, while King Al- bert was in conference with allied of- ficers. • Mile. Vercammen informed d guard at Antwerp ofher discoveries and the pair were arrested. Docu- ments found on the German officer proved" the truth of the girl's charges and the officer and nurse were both convicted and, shot. King Albert, on hearing the story, sent for the peas- ant girl and personally decorated her with the Croix de Guerre, Order of Leopold. and the Croix de la Elizabeth.

Being Written Entirely by Hand by the High and • Low of England. , English Bible plans for 1921 centre" round the. production of the world's largest Bible. Months of work. leave already been expended upon it. Many weeks more will be needed for its completion, Already, however, the frame of the great book is in being. Six stout hempen ropes, much thicker than the ordinary clothesline, form its backbone. Four of these are leeed into millboards half an inch thick ate a foundation for the leather covering. The back of the book is sewn With, twine round the six stout hempen ropes in the old-fashioned way. In, every sense the biggest Bible is in- tended to be the finest example of bookmaking that ]3ugland can pro- duce, But why produce the biggest Bible!' The answer to this question is given by the "Bible Crusade" as follows: "The. Great Bible is intended to rivet public attention on the primary importance of the Bible as the foun- tain and source of ALL TRUTH: Ae ''ted this unique volume is magnified in size above all other volumes, so the grandeur of the Bible ought to be magnified in value above that of all other books, not merely because of its literary, its poetical, its historical, its archaeological or its moral beauties, which are confessedly superior to all others, but because it is the one aid only revelation from God and of God to mankind. Its Size a Symbol, "Having seen the Great Bible, no one will ever forget it! Some will ap- prove it and siome may not, but all will have had their attention draw:, to the purpose of its conatruct:on, Having seen these words indica'.:rg this purpose, God grant that no one shall ever forget them, and that each may honor this written Wcrd as God requires that they should, and that each may unite with the 'Bible Cru- sade' in impressing that sacred duty and inestimable privilege upon all mankind. Then and theu alone1i the purpose for which this great, manu- script Bible has been prepared be ac- complished." A feature of the Great Bib,e' ,r'* ♦ t ' it will be written entirely li,,~r.&and. Not more than three verses of the' text will be written by the same per- son. Kings and field marshals will, side by side with paupers ani walk - men, testify their belief in the Bolt' Scriptures. At the side cf the ,,'niece of text which they write all vial riga their names to the following.: "As my testimony that I acknc v; l- edge the Bible—as originally given to mankind—to be 'as it is in truth, The Word of God,' I append my signa- ture." Twelve Thousand Authors. The biggest Bible, what completed, will not only be the largest esareeie of the Word of God, but it will cons- titute the world's compiet-,nt ,auto- graph album, with signatures, it is ar-- ticlpated, of most prem:neat English and foreign men and women from Kings downward. Twelve thousand people will be needed to comele,e the text, Twelve large goatskins have been used in providing a cover for the big- gest. Bible.

Asked what ltiid cf so'mo::-s would , be preached from the ear, the ttm n c, e- 'i,: leader, a� H. A.Powell, crusade II. dared: "I am a strong believer in the pro - permitted side of the Bible, and if I am permitted to accompany the great manuscript on scnio of its travels 1 shall proaeh on this subject, 1 want to impress upon people that the Bible is a guide to everyday life, and that the events described therein prophe- tically are those which are ha.neeniig ' today."
