more plainly, he soon becomes tired
both mentally and physically.
Inattention will be the first impres
sion the teacher will receive of him
and his fellow pupils will soon con
sider him stupid, dull or lazy. As the
child continues to be outclassed in his
schoolroom and his playground activi
ties, a reaction detrimental to his pro-
gress is evident. He becomes discour-
aged, sullen and ofttimes rebellious
On the teacher's list he is placed as a
stupid child. His parents, if they do
not place the blame of his lack of
progress with the teacher, try to
make amends for this condition by de-
manding that he do more home study.
This second course may rause even
more trouble by creating a greater
strain on the child. But in it also lies
the means for the solution of the
problem. If this home -work is care-
fully supervised by one or the other
of the parents, they are given the
opportunity to study the child when
he is working, and to discover, if pos-
sible, the cause of the trouble.
Because no member of the family
has ever worn glasses is no reason to
cover up the needs of the children. We
would then urge every parent to con-
sider their children's eyes. If there
is any reason to suspect that they are
having trouble with them, it is a great
injustice to fail to have them attended
to immediately. Neglect in this, as
well as in other cases, is sure to bring
disappointment and regret.

Our mush for breakfast is made by

Our bread as follows: Two cups

Enough flour to make thick batter.

We also use this flour in drop cook-

HOME MANNERS.
We suppose there never was a
mother who was not at some time or
other embarrassed by the actions of
one of her children away from home.
Yet some mothers are continually em-
barrassed in this manner and will say
to the children after taking them
home from a visit to relatives or
friends, ``What made you art that
way? Have you no company man-
ners?"
To tell the truth, few children have
any "company manners," if such an
expression is allowable. They act
away from home very much as they
are in the habit of acting at home.
They have not reached that stage of
development where they can smile and
bow and say they are having a lovely
time when they are bored to death and
want to go home. Children are usual-
ly. honest and outspoken, and it is
hard to make them anything else.
`Also, if they are in the habit of reach-
ing across the table for things at,
home they are going to do it away.

Children always " like to know the

CHAPTER XXVL—(Cont'd,) I
"The ghost?" said Peters to himself,
and then he smiled. No doubt Arding-
ton, if he had anything to conceal, had
fired up some sort of contrivance to
frighten the servants. The story of
the old monk was part of the sanie
scheme. More than ever Peters was
certain that Ardington had, something

self. There might be no trick after,
all. Possibly someone else was in the
room with him. It was a remote
chance, but it had to be guarded
against. ,
However, nothing happened. There
was no sound but that of Peter's own 1
breathing and faint tinkle in one of I
his pockets. He reached the far side
of the room, and suddenly switched on
his electric lamp. The patch of white
mist vanished, and at first he saw
nothing that might have caused • it.
He flashed the light from the torch
over the whole room, walked round 1
the room and examined everything,
paused in front of Ruth's portrait,
said to himself, "That fellow can

indeed. Her'husband's brutality, fol-
lowing on more than a year of cold
indifference, had almost driven her
into the arms of Merrington, , But,
now there had been no such driving
force behind her. `She had turned
away from her . husband's kindness
and found love elsewhere. No, she
would not admit that. To'• think of
it like that would be to imply that of
her own free will she had sought love
elsewhere. But nothing Of 'that kind
had happened. In fact, she had done
all in her power to avert the'catas-
trophe, short of refusing to go to the
studio. She had thought. a great deal
of Paula and had always thought of
Merrington as in love with his dead
wife. She had. noticed all Merring-
ton's faults, and above all that par-
ticular fault" of`weekness. ' She had
tried to despise his weakness and had
made much of the fact that he would
not return to his life in London.
But she had struggled in vain. She
had been caught' on the edge of the
whirlpool ,and would be spun round
and round, getting ever nearer to th
centre of destruction unless she mad
a supreme effort to save herself. Tha
might not be difficult now, but later
on it would be impossible. As one got
nearer and nearer to the centre the
strength and swiftness of the vortex
would increase.
"There is nothing for it but to keep
away from Dedbury," she said" to
herself, She had the strength of mind
to do that—at present. But later on
she might be too weak. She would
have to make some excuse. She would
have to pretend to be ill. That was the
only excuse she could think of just
now. But perhaps something else
would coeur to her. In any case she
could pretend to be ill—for a little
while. That would give.her time to
think,
They would all be very angry with
her—her husband, Ardington, and
ven Merrington himself—not, of
ourse, so long as she was ill, but
when she had to give some other and
quite inadequate reason for refusing

Jut no doubt it was carved out .of
wood. Ardington'had doubtless carv-
ed many saints for churches and cath-
edrals in the course of his career. And
this one he had kept, perhaps because
it was the best thing he had ever done.
But to shut it up here in this old
oven and to keep a lighted lamp al-
ways burning in front of it 1 That was
something Mr. Peters could not under-
stand.
1 For several minutes Peters'stared
at the figure, until he began to imag-
ine that it was going to speak to him,
Then he stretched forth his hand as

to the wide-open fireplace. tl
He extinguished the torch again,
and then, quite plainly, he saw a thin
line of light at the side of the chim-
ney. Something must have hidden it
from his view before—a piece of fur-
niture, or was it Lady Bradney's por-
trait? And he had switched on the
torch before he came in sight of it.
It was a very faint line of light, low
down and just where the oven door
should have been. Peters threw the
fight of the torch upon it and it van -
shed Yes, no doubt it came through
a narrow space at the bottom of the
oven door, '
"Great Scott!" said Peters to' him-
self. "Is there a room in there?" And
for one brief moment he had a vision
of some place where a man was carry-
ing on some unlawful business such
as coining or distilling whisky. Then
he laughed at the:absurdity of the
idea. No man nor even a boy could
have squeezed his body through that
small opening. And that sort of thing
was not likely to go on in the Nous

Still, for nearly a minute Peters
hesitated. There was no knowing what
Was on the other side of that little
iron doer. He did not want to do any-
thing that would attract attention
"Oh, well, here goes," he said t
himself, and he laid the torch on
table so that
the light g t fell on the iron
latch, and took out the small ghtter-
ing tools that had once belonged to a
burglar—tools of the finest steel.
For ten minutes he examined the
fastening, trying it here and there
with gentle but steady pressure of a
thin long chisel. And then he discov-
ered that the openingof the door was
only a trick after all. It was not the
catch that held it, but a spring bol
set into the iron behind the latch
Peters took a thin piece of steel from
his pocket and managed to touch th
spring. The door flew open and a
broad glow of light came out into the
room, throwing a black shadow of
