"Are you really, twenty-four, Peter -Peter, and going to he married in a week?" "Seems so, little Mother. You are-, n't sbrry?" Peter smiled the actor-, ably broad smile that he had from' his father. Wavering through it' were quivers of tender concern for the mother whom he worshipped. "Do you remember when you told; me about Ruth, Peter, and how miser-' able you were for fear I'd feel desert -i ed in my first great need? It was. so soon after your father's death" "That's what I was thinking about,' Mother, when you asked me, You! were so splendid then. You told me! you had always loved her, that girl' I was to love, 'way back to when I was a little tad. You've been wonder-: ful, little Mother, the way you've, loved Ruth these five years. You aren't sorry the day is so close? "You'll be right here with us, in this house we've made into a home,! Ruth and I will take royal good care' of you and all our happiness will be, yours, too.

"No man ever loved a girl better than 1 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 tried 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 house the way Ruth and I have gone aver and arranged it? There isn't so much that is new but 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, But 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 -I 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 hest. chance for peace. It's God's good' gift to me, It came to me, like Ilope! 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.

"At times one has to let the object of it go—he torn away from its dear,) human presence. Then work comes.'

The commander of the submarine was too confused to act, and again came the dashes and dots spelling out a warning: "Depth charge has been wired and lowered." Then up came the submarine, and a thoroughly 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• "I 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! That was bluff.

Honeymoon in Polar Regions. Alt adventurous pair of Swiss lovers, both keen mountaineers, chose the summit of Mont Inane (which is 16,- 182 ft. above sea -level) as the place for their honeymoon, and there, amid the snow -clad peaks and under Arctic - like conditions, they braved it to- gether feir over a week. Even more strenuous and hazardous was the honeymoon of the Comte de Lesdain and his bride, who left the altar on a perilous journey from I'e1th1 to Calcutta, climbing mountains 20,- 000 feet high, tamping through desol- ate regions where for two input h1 they saw no living soul, escaping drew:tiug in swollen rivers as by a miracle, liv- ing on the game they could ;hoot, and wandering for days on vast deserts and mud plateaux.

When Major Powell -Cotton led his bride to the altar at Nairobi, in Bri- tish East Africa, it was the prelimin- ary to perhaps the most remarkable wedding journey ever undertaken.
