had been an understanding light in

dreams.
It was midnight before Jean slip-
ped back into the old house, Some
day 'Haddon would be Marrying Milly,
and Jean determined to insist that
they set up housekeeping by them-
selves. Mi1ly's father could hunt up
a housekeeper to drudge for him and
the children in the Lynch house.
Ivliily's' girlish dreams should not .be

(To be eontinu.ed,)
A Baboon aSwitchrnan.
From time to time- numerous amaz-
ing stories have been told of ,the sa-
gacity of members of the monkey
tribe; but the following account is
so particularly extraordinary that -it
would cause, doubt in the minds of the
most manic -nit were it not, told on
the aufharity"of Mr. W. C. Scully. The
mast remarkable instance of simian in-
telligence that has' conte under my
personal observation, says Mr. Scully,
was that of a baboon that actually
did regular duty els a switchman at
an important railway junction at
Uitenhage, in the • Cape Province,
South Africa. '
The animal was owned -by the man
who worked the switches, but who
had int bothelegs in a railway acci-
dent. On the platform, in his charge,
dreams amidst a halo of spoke, were six levers, tc each of which was

which was flung open without wait- en cabin with his understudy, and

gaily waving a half -knit sock.
"I've been. dropping stitches again,
Jena dear,"' she explained. "Can you
item me out?"
Laughingly Jean unraveled ' the

clave freely en hour's instruction •in

When Milly L•ynzh had gone, Cap-
tain- David, roused himself 'and with
a glance of scrutiny peered into.Jean's
tired flushed face.
"Do they never leave you alone?
Are you never free from the cares of
the world ?"'he questioned bluntly.
She laughed softly as she folded the
tan stockings and locked deep into
the mass of glowing -coals.
"Maybe I don't ever get really away
from the. respgnsibility but I have my
dreams and often: they are se real, I
forget the cares;"' she answered.
"Dreams?" euestiOned Captain
David, knocking the ashes from his
thrust out in protest.
"But you have had no leisure hour
for yourself to -day!" he exclaimed.
As she ran out into the night, she
wondered what foolish innpuise had
led her to tell Captain David of her
dreams. - There was, about him a
subtle sense of sympathy, that had
drawn from her the oonfide;;ce that
she would scarcely have entrusted to
little to the household duties. Jean
liked the way in which)ie cat even-
ings, before the open fire, smoking in
dreamy silence. Without doubt he was
living over in memory many of his
adventurous voyages, though he was
still in the -early forties. As Jean
drew the. darning needle through a
boy's torn stocking, she glanced up
to watch the firelight playing on the
reddish -brown hair of Captain David.
Hie half-closed eyes and expression
of eanteutment gave her a sense of
rest.
A • child's sharp cry from upstairs
suddenly disturbed the silence and
Jean, jumping to her" feet in alarm,
thrust aside the mending basket.
"It's Sonny. He's colicky and I
know the reason. I caught -the little
imp in the cucumber pickles to -day,"
she explained as she ran.
Wijapping the little fellow in a
blanket,- she carried ilio down to the
sitting room and doctored Trim with
hot drinks, warming his feet at the
open fire, .and he soon fell asleep in
her motherly arras.
"T.et are carry the young scamp up-
stairs," urged Captain David.
But, cuddling the child close to her
'heart, Jean shook her head. '
"Thanks, but I should hare to go
np soon to see whether Dick and
1/1011ie are well covered," she answer-
ed, smiling wistfully.
A few moments later she again
dropped into her chair and mechanic-
ally picked up the tan stocking. Cap-
tain David had replenished the lire
and was again drifting oft to his
"Yes, the dreams that ctrme to me

The House That Was Never Built.
"Slid was sitting in the beck•rove at
a meeting of farm women—lt meeting
at which I chanced to be a speaker.
I had noticed her at owe because of
the sombre, patient expression in her
eyes, When one of the apealcers re-
(erred to the hardships endured in
earlier days by soiree of the women
present, 'het eyes darkened and she
nodded her' head, as if she remember-
ed those days clearly. .
A'b' the close of the meeting She
came forward, • greeted me with dig-
nity, and asked me to have a cup of
tea with her in her home during the
helm or two that would °lapse before
my train left. So we walked together
to her home at the edge of the torten,
While she busied herself in Ilse kit,
chen, I tried to piece out something
of her story from the room in which
I sat, •
It was intelligently 'lived in—that
was plain. There were good pictures
on the walls, good books in the low
bookcases that occupied 'one side of
the sunny room. The deep windew-
sills were full of blooming plants. The
rugs on the hardwood floors had been
well chosen. But the • one point in
the room that seemed to draw every-
thing together into a sunny, .comfort-
able, youthful eereni£y was a triple-
framed set of photographs on the
mantelpiece. Two of the faces that
smiled out at me were of girls:—
Well-dressed, beautiful girls. The
other face was that of a thoughtful
boy of perhaps eighteen. The mother
noted my glance and we smiled at
each other with theecret free-
masonry of motherhood.
"My children," she explained,.hand-
ing me another photograph. This
-was a picture of three small children
in the stiff and frightened grouping,
that only an inexperienced photo-
grapher knows how to arrange.
"I drove thirty miles on a cold day
to have that taken, sixteen -years ago,"
she said, smilingly. "It's all I have
left ot them now—those pictures."
"Just when we seem to need .their
youth and enthusiasm most in our
lives, they leave to find their own
lives," I said. "I suppose it is nat-
ural—we
at-ural—we left our own parents so; but
it is a ,little hard."
"It seems more SO when it is your
own fault that they leave," she saLd•
"Our children were very good and
we were so proud of them. But all
the time that we were working and
planning for them, we were driving
them away -'from us."
She poured the tea and handed me
a fragrant cupful.
"Yon see," she went on, "we carne
}est twenty-eight years ago. We
were young, strong, ambitious, and
we took up a claim here and settled
down to`hnake a home. We built the
barn first, as everybody back home
'lad done'. At that time a farmer built
up his reputation by his big barns,
and so we thought it all right to wait
for the house. We set up the cook
stove under a shed and cooked out-of-
doors. At night we spread blankets
and. slept in the oat bin, We did not
regard it as a hardship. We planned
some clay to have the best house in
the community, and we worked 'hard
and saved every penuy for it.
"We forgot that times change. We
did not realize that the younger gen-
eration was growing up and strain=
ing at the leash. But we saw that
our children seemed to do their
thinking for themselves. They were
good children and we all loved one
another.
"We were all up early and at work
before daylight. Every pair of hands
counted. We supplied nyost of the
milk used in the town, and never
thought of hiring help—the children
did their share of the milking. It did
not oeeur to us that a growing child
could hot rise . at five o'clock and
work, every moment until schooltime,
and every moment between school and
bedtime, and retain any pleasant mem-
ories of the farm.
"My boy was studious. I have seen
him come in' from school, Iilace his
books on a chair and hastily run over

baboon would swing the lever over.
After the baboon had been thoroughly
instructed, it was •never known_ to

-Ith the Morning. it ran ifs master
down to the ices° .of his work on a
little hand 'car, which it shifted from
the rails and stowed away. Most of
the journey to the switch was down-

baboon would _sewing on the vehicle

Occasionally the animal was brought
to a certain hotel and induced to act,
as waiter, It would carry a large tray
and serve the customers, . but it in-
sisted that its own portion should be
placed .on the tray. On entering the
room where the gueets were assemb-
le(] it would set the tray doyen ou the
floor 'and consume its share, then
walk with the tray from one guest to
another, If anyone attempted to help
himself from the tray before the ba-
tmen had finished its portion, It would
become violently enraged and scatter
the contents in every direction. The
remarkable animal died after a lin-
gering illness induced by a blow on
the back of the head that was inflict-
ed by a drunken man with an iron
bar.

had 4900 10 our children, We had
drudged them away front the farm.
"So here we are ---round pegs in if
square hole. My health broke down
and father bought this little house in
town.: Father goes to the farm each
day; 'but there didn't seem to be any
use in our workipg so hard any more
if the children were not coming home.
And life stopped for me. Now I have
hot and cold water and a furnace and
evet'ything to melte it easy. But we
could have had -these things for years
on the farm, . if 'we had peen 'wise,
"We used to 'shake a our .thrifty
heads at one of our neighbors. Ho had
four children and he used to say that
his realjob was in raising those chil-
dren to be good citizens' and good
farmers. He had the first piano in
the county, and the first telephone.
They had all sorts of good times at
their house when we were working
too hard to know what good times
meant. Their children went away, to
school, too; but they came back again.
Their mother is a busy, 'happy woman
with her children about her, The boys
work the farm on shares with their
father; They haven't so much money
in the bank as.we have; but they have
their chilc)S'en, We were thrifty, you
see—but they were wiser"
Insilence we lopked at the picture,
the little faded group, whose sober
(races, with hair brushed stiffly back,
gazed up gravely at us. The three
faces on the mantelpiece smiled at us
as if in amusement that they could
ever have remained on the farm witlf
its drudgery and its few pleasures.
There was nothing that I could say.
But we were both mothers, aocl as '1
rose to go I reached out for that
work -hardened hand. We had both
known what ,it was to have 001 chil-
dren leave u. '
And later, as the wheels of my
train clicked 'through the night and
I lay in my berth, there was one
sentence that formed again and again
in my brain:
"We were thrifty,—but they were
wise!"
Our "Magazine Johnuy.'
Here is a little thing that has saved
the whole family much worry and
trouble: We were all great readers,
but, like most busy -men and yeomen,
-my husband and I never could.. keep
track of the time any magazine sub-
scription ran out, therefore it would
inirariably come at a time when there
was no change in the house, and when
we were too busy to go to the town
and bank. So we have a funny little
bank, dub ed "Magazine Johnny," and
into this each bia'thday my husband
dumps a dime for each year of his
age. I place a nickel for each year of
my own age, and each child on its
birthday places a penny for each year
of its age.
The result ,is that none of us ever
miss the money, there -is always the
price handy when a favorite magazine
or (aim paper is to be renewed, and
as the money is more than they cone
to, and as it increases every year,
whenever we gain' enough in the fund
we subscribe for another magazine or
paper. And hanging over the bajsk,
on the wail, is 'a large card with title
of each magazine ,and time it expires.

Protecting Birds.
\Ve all love to wake up in the morn-
ing and hear the birds twittering and
singing and chirping about our win-
dows.
Did you ever stop to think that there
is a reason why the songbirds build
near the house? They deliberately
seek the safety -of. buildings whore

from their enemies and the squirrpls
and the crows. You know Use ctnws
will destroy the eggs and oftentimes
will eat the young, tender birds unless
they are driven. away.

as they might be, for they will watch
sometimes and a9 soon as the robins
fly away from the nest they have
made they will take possession and re -
Arrange the inside of the nett to snit
themselves until oftentimes the origin-
alowners become so discouraged they
abandon the neat and go elsewhere. -
Another enemy which the songbirds
have to guard ngatnst is the house cat.
You know pussy has a special fond-
ness for bird flesh and she feels that
the more songlricals there are the bet-
ter is the hunting season. Yet this
is hard qu the birds and on us, too,
for we need the birds to cheer -us up
and to eat the insects and to devour
the seeds of the weeds by the way-
side. 33esides, puss is just as fond of
a nice fat arouse, and is also often-
times generously fed in the home
kitchen.
Do 'you want to do something to pro-
tect the birds this summer? It is
said that cats have a special dislike
for.barued wire and that if four or Jiye
strands of it are wownd'arounrl the
tree trunk and. the ends twisted at
one 'side, sho will not cross them. Of
course, this doesn't hurt the tree in
