He wanted to know. He want- ed to know; net because it might be news, but because the knowledge had somehow become important to hint. (To be continued.)

"Well -for the moment—you win!" he had said, And Barbara had not refused the hand -which Peter extend- ed. At that moment of parting she had looked more than ever like Alice in Wonderland grown up. Impossible to connect a girl like that with a secret --perhaps a sinister secret. Why, she would not have look- ed out of place playing house with acorn dishes under a spreading tree! Peter ,smiled at the picture -a dreamy boy's smile, such as ho member of Tho Herald staff had ever seen on his face. He brought himself up with a start.

If there happens to be a heaven, the thing that will shine out in Dr. Ca- vanaugh's record isn't the books that he's written, nor the cases he's solved, nor the cures he has made. If St. Peter tried to shut him out, there'd be the ghost of a little girl in a gray when he came to visit his patient. I wouldn't have taken a step towards him nor spoken to him for the world. But he always found me, and stopped to talk—or to let me talk, rather. I'd save up things in the night to say to him, hoard them and then pour them all out, pell-mell. He was the first human being, remember, to whom 1 had ever really talked." Barbara paused, her dreaming eyes fixed on vacancy. There was no sound from the figure beside her.

A JOY STORE ORE Grace Archbold Not long ago, it fel Ito my lot to take a little family of nephews and neices to their parents w13o were set- tling out west, A friend of mine, the mother of four children, found time to see mo off. As she bade me farewell, she handed me a mysterious looking bag. In the excitement of departure, I tucked it away and promptly forgot all about it, The novelty of the train soon wore off with the ellilrlren, who were al- ready tired out by the wrought -up at- mosphere of those last few days. "What can I do, Auntie?" walled a plaintive voice. The question wee repeated more and more inst'stently, Our neighbors frowned and fidgetted until I began to feel conspicuous and uncomfortable. In desperation I dived about in our numerous packages and finally wino across the forgotten parcel. It con- tained all kinds of amusements for the little ones, Imagine my relief! There wee a neatly labelled surprise for each day of the journey, Such re delightful variety! That parcel made all the difference in the world to us. Instead of the trip being a tedious affair, ive were able to enjoy it. The"interesting emits on the way ware a delight bemuse the children were happy. Some grown ups were attracted to our group and were glad to watch the children solve 40013' puzzles and to join in their very real fun, As the train moved over the sparse- ly settled country 5 thought of the dif- ficulties of maty a another there, try- ing to bring tip a young family in a home without neighbors.

"Why not work out the same Idea for •emergencies in daily life?" That was the beginning of her "Joy Store".as the children called it. I re- mained on with her for several weeks and together we put in the first items. She had the good fortune to possess an old family chest with a quaint gilt padlock attached, In 1t we put ail sorts of contributions, keeping one di- vision for girls, the other for boys. It is astonishing if you bear such a purpose in mind, show the treasures ac- cumulate, Icor instance, when we were sewing, an otherwise useless remnant was cut into a doll's garment ready to be worked upon by small fingers. Odd crayons and peucils were saved, plc - tures to out out or color were coileet- ed: Beads were put in a box with needle anti thread and bright bits of note-pap0r, on which the children would like to draw or towrite lettere in their own particular style to en- close in Mother's letter to Grandmoth- er, were put in the chest, A short story, culled from a magazine or news- paper, which we knew would have a special appeal to, Jack or Freddy, was made more personal by 'printing the boy's name upon it. This individual touch was used often, as we knew it would draw interest at-'oupe. Tile blessings we put in that box were end- less, Of course these treasures were not intended to interfere with the usual acted tasks of each child, but to save awkward situations, to avert quarrels on wet days, and to relieve !the tiresome periods of convalescence. Then, again, they would prove a boon beto1'0 a Intel unavoidably delayed, when the appetite is sharp and the tongue sharper.
