CHAPTER VII•-(Cont'd.)
"Cass bin'( poor!"
"I'm not talking ,of Cgdlniir'Keat-
ing,",Mrs. d'E1ara said impatiently.
'I don't know. why you aren't then,
Mother!" • ..
Instead"of ansutering, the older we -
man began a sort ofmonologue, in a
dreaming, sing=song. voice,
"There's 'no love, in ''the World-
there's no happiness - in the world

ness. The cold shuts'doivn •el if it was

"'How's'your 'husband this morn -

home in bed he is, .God .help the poor
'soul, he feels the strength of Q great
weakness that's be upon him, meld Avill.
'heget back .to work before Monday
we don't know at all. And th e both
of tiihe little ones is very ailin' the
mornin," She paused, her face
working.
"Well; heavens, Mother, every fanc-
ily has those down times!"
"Many's the day I'd go into
church-" . The older woman was
merely thinking aloud;. her fine eyes
were fixed upon far space. She still
held her •widow's bonnet with its
dangling veil in her hand. "Many's
the day I'd kneel in the old Saint
Elizabeth's," she remembered. "And
you and Mart climbin' in and out of
the pew, and 'Sroppin' my purse all
over the floor, and there I'd kneel,
thinkin' of the little nuns -safe -at
home in Ireland-" She paused again,
shook her head.
"You have to have a vocation, to be
a nun!" Mary Kate said unsympa-
thetically.
"And you ought to have a bank
account to get married," her mother
capped it.
"Why don't you like Cass?" the
girl demanded, on 1. new tack.
"Cass?" her mother asked dreamily,
"Oh, Mother, don't go off into a
coma, like that! Cass Keating, that
I'm engaged to!"
The fine, piercing eye pivoted about;
Mrs. O'Hara leaked through the fibers
of her daughtr's very being.
"Since when?" oLe demanded blank-
ly.
"You make me crazy!" Mary Kate
gritted, through' set teeth. She looked
into space; spoke levelly.
"Well, upon my word this is the
first I've heard of that!" the older
woman said freshly.
"Perlaups you want the fire depart.
ment to come and tell you," the girl
suggested sullenly.
"I have no objections to the young
mea at all, but as for you marryin'
him, there'll be no talk of that until
he's able to offer you something more
than dishes and didies!" Mrs. O'Hara
summarized it firmly.
"Good night!" the daughter said
abruptly, from the doorway.
Mrs. O'Haxa„ made no sign, and the
girl welched her for a moment irre-
solute. Then, apparently changing her
mind about leaving the kitchen, Mary
Kate walked across to one.Qf the win-
dows down which soft rain was still
twisting and shining in the black
right outside. Her mother sat on, at
the table, the dingy bonnet with its
dangling veil still balanced on one big
hand. Her tired kind eyes were ab -
tent, fitted with dreams.
Tho kichen was lighted by but one
light, a green -shaded lamp on the
table. It was very warm, Bubbles
died av ay in the ha}f-finished glasses
of ginger ale; rails beat gently on the
roof, ,
There was a tong silence. Then
Martin came in, spattered with rain,
tired and dishevelled and dirty, his
eyes deep in shadowy'eircles,.
Mary Kate weat to the pantry, cut
him a great double slice of bread, and
buttered it lavishly, placing it before
him, She also placed on the table
a soup -plate of honey in which crumbs
and bits of butter were lodged.

expression was' angry. But down her
cheeks the'swift unwelcome tears were
beginning to roll; Mr. O'Hara, cast
one glance at her, raised her chin,
continued her stony contemplation of
distant spheres,
"Maybe Mother's right," Martin be-
gan craftily.
,"That's right, siva against met" his
sister said hotly.
The boy leaned back in his chair;
her hard eyes met his. Only for the
fraction of a second their looks crossed
then Mary Kate continued her inter-
rupted staring into space. But her
tears were dried by magic.
"Now you hear your brother!" Mrs.
O'Hara said, gratifieu.
"Here's what I think, Mn," Martin
said:. gulping down flat ginger ale,
"Mary Kate'd be a fool to marry a fel-
kw like Cuss Keating."
"Well, now you see," his mother
said nodding, with s shrewd triumph-
ant glance for the girl.
"Even if heNeAs in love with her-"
Martin pursued.
Iltary Kate was regarding hint with
a placidity that secretly surprised her
mother. But then the child had al-
ways taken everything from :dart!
"A fellow like that doesn't know his
own mind," Mart added.
"Well, now you see?" Mrs. O'Hara
put in a kindly, triumphant aside for
Mary Kate.
"He'd break her heart," the boy
continued,
"He would, Mart. He would that!"
"What do you like about him, Mary
Kate?"
Mary Kate deigned no reply- She
was sitting at the end of the kitchen
table her elbows on the red oilcloth,
her chin cupped in her palms. She
cast a glance of bored, magnificent
disdain at her interlocutors.
"I like him," Mar; confessed cor-
dially, 'raking an enormous mouthful

"Well!" Mrs. O'Hara said, in satis-

urged them. And her look at her bro-

reproachful.
"He's making good, he's going to he
rich, Mart went on, with enthusiasm,
"and it'd be a constant reproach to
her that we'd hold him down."
His mother's complacent, dreaming
expression suddenly altered; a slight-
ly disturbed expression clouded her
fine eyes.
"How would we hold him down,
Mart?"
"Well, a man doesn't marry his
wife's fainly, Mother."
"How do you mean he doesn't nanny
his wife's family? Who wants him to
marry his wife's family?"
"I mean that what with the ch!L.
wtli•en to rase and educate, and me with
years of schooling ahead -and Tom to

Mrs. O'Hara's eyes came about at
her son -with a slash of white, like a

Keeping Your Temper
It is doubtful it there is a greater
asset in life than keeping our temper.
More upheavals and disappoint
ments and failures and wrecks arise
from east teinper than we realize. We
describe it as losing temper, which is
really a loose and 'flexed "description.
Temper is nothing less than loss of
self-control. And when that.•happens
we are verging upon a state o£ in-
sanity. We may not be very far In
that state, but we are certainly across
the borderland.
c
How can we expect t0 be successful'
in any walk of life if we are -constant-
ly losing our , self-control? Others
wont' trust us, and in due time we aro
obliged to admit we cannot tiliSt our-
selves.
Avery'thought and word and. deed is
completely and absolutely, discolored
when 'we are In this awful state of
temper -lack of control -insanity in
some measure. How mad'we are with
ourselves after some; bad outburst
when we saw'and did things that did
not really come from as, but from
some false condition of the mind. Such
a' condition is always in waiting' to
etart operations once we. surrender
our citadel of control.
It's very hard to avoid losing one's
temper, but it's bad going for us and
others when we do.. And it's silly, too,

Mushroom gatherers should exer-
cise great care in their gathering. One
of the safest rules is never to gather
a hinges which does' not grow in open
pasture.
Mushrooms, as a rule, do not grow
in woods, near trees, or In wet or bog-
gy places. The mushroom may be
easily detected by its pinkish gills -
if the gills are pure white, you may be
sure it isn't a mushroom -and .mush-
rooms are usually small, the maximum
diameter of their caps being five
inches. Toadstools May grow to alarm-
ing sizes and usually have' hollow
sterns.
But where there is any doubt what-
ever, there is -only one safe rule.
Don't risk it -there have been a
number fo deaths through eating what
were believed to be mushrooms. So,
unless you can consult an expert, and
he says they are safe, Ieave the sup-
posed "mushrooms" severely alone!
Old English Village
Spurns Modernism
Victory for quiet rural charm over
the bold blare of modernity has been
achieved in the sweet old village of
Hembieden. This unspoiled spot is in
Buckinghamshire, only a few miles
from this house where William Penn.
Iivec! and within an hour's, run of
Stoke Poges, where Thomas Gray
wrote his famous Elegy. The Ramble -
den county ids looks ys ate just about the
same now as it did in the eighteenth
century, when Gray sang of that placid
rustic eventide:
Now fades the glimmering Landscape
On the sight,
And all the air a solemn stillness
holds,
Save where the beetle wheels his dron-
ing flight,
And drowsy tinklings lull the distant
folds,
That verso is as true of Hanibleden
in 1030 as it was of Stoke Poges when
it was published in 1750. And into
this halcyon peace, into a Chiltern vil-
lage sleeping amid the fragrant lanes
and the dim green aisles of the beeoh-
woods-a village Innocent of a Bingle

A sponge is a skeleton,'pot of one

ranged about the street and roads In
such a manner that each can easily

it passes along. The animate which
inhabit our skeleton sponge, and
which are almost•at the bottom of the

Two Thousand Kinds
When we say "sponge" we are in-
clined to think of the familiar article
used for -the toiletand the bath. As a
matter. of fact, there are about 2,000
different kinds of sponges, and they
vary considerably in size, from a pin's
head to masses several feat in height.
They are of various shapes and colors,
and even the so-called bath varlets
varies considerably in quality.
While' sponges are to be .found all
over the world in every sea, they
nevertheless develop better and repro-
duce more freely in some beds than iu

were regarded by the old naturalists
as peculiar to the waters of the Medi-
terranean, Then, as the outcome of
an accident, it was discovered that
this valuable substance was common
on the reef between Florida and the
Bahamas. The result was the estab-
lishment of a sponge industry In these
islands 'which bids fair to rival that
of the Nlediterranettn.

which the fishermen have endeavored
to solve in various ways; by diving,
by dredging, and by harpooning or
hooking. The first method is the old-
est, and it has been practised round
about the Greek Islands, Sicily, the
Levant, and north of Africa for ages.

In the Bahamas, however, the
sponges are so close to the surface and
so plentiful that they are secured by
hooking, A ]tinct of hooked harpoon

Every week a fleet of schooner -rig-
ged boats, of any size up to 26 tons,
sets oil: from the shores of a few of
the islands, each carrying eeveral two -

then exposed to the air for a day or

Men Are Like That!
Men can be so terrible,
Men can be so mean;
Sometimes hardly bearable,

Why do woman stay with them,
Scorning all advice?
Well, they, have a way with them-!
Men can be so nice.
Men are unreliable,
Women often find;
Men can be so pliable,
Men can be so blind.
Women keep 'forgiving when '

,There are days .of living when
Men can be so geed.
Men„ can watch so jealous'•,
Ev'ry word and deed;
Men can look sq zealously
Where there isn't need•,
All the doubting Thomases
Why do women hear?
Men can make such promises
,At times can be .so dear!

NEW. Never a trace of that re -

Diamond Dyes owe their superi-

to make. Surely. But you pay no
more for them. All drug stores -
