Y.. ti About the House WHAT I TEACH MY 'CHILDREN AT HOIVIE. By being with his father the most of the ' -time when not in school, our son learned by observation something of the different kinds of work done on the farm. Many times his father showed him just how a thing was done and explained why. In this way he learned much that has been a help to him in school, even in high school: Often points have come in the nature study and the sciences that have been The Hidden Hour BY J. B. HARRIS-BURLAND CHAPTER IV. It was not until Ruth was in the train that she was able to take stock of certain trivial details which might be of importance after her return to the house in Kensington Palace gar- dens,- For instance, one -cannot be pitched out of a motor car into a hedge without showing some outward signs of the accident. Fortunately her hand, covered in thick fur -lined gloves, had escaped without so much' as a scratch. Her fur coat had pro- tected her clothes from injury, but the coat itself had been torn, and there was a rent quite eight inches in length on the left sleeve. She had shielded her face with this arm, but some twig had passed her guard and made a small mark on her forehead.' It was neither a scratch nor a bruise, but just an abrasion of the skin, about an inch in length and a sixteenth of an inch wide. Ruth, who had a compart- ment to herself, examined it in the little mirror she carried in her bag, and came to the conclusion that it would not be very difficult to account for so small a wound, if indeed . it could be called a wound at all. Then one of her stockings was torn, and her hat, a small close -fitting toque she had selected for the occasion, had suffered severely. She took it from her head and examined it carefully. She had taken it off before at Tre- horn's house in order to tidy her hair, but until now she had not realized the extent of the damage, The frame- work was bent and twisted, the velvet torn, and two out of the four red feathers were missing. The remain- ing two were crumpled and broken. She pulled them out and flung them through the open window. Then the train began to slow down, and she hurriedly put the toque on her head again. The train stopped at some small station, and a footman opened the door of the carriage. •A tall graceful wo- man in furs entered the compartment and seated herself, in the true English fashion, as far • away from Ruth as possible. The door closed, the foot- man raised hishand to his peaked cap, and the train moved on. Ruth, nd longer able to examine her own personal appearance, turned' her thoughts to other matters of import- ance. She had her trunk with -her that new trunk, in which every article was new, and unmarked with her name.' She would, of course, have to leave it in the cloak -room at Charing Cross and there it would remain, un- claimed, until the railway company sold it. All that was easy enough, but there were other dangers. ' Dr. Trehorn had himself put the trunk into the car, but the servants would, of ;course, notice that it had disap- peared. Ruth was just a little afraid of the kind-hearted young doctor. Ile would not give her away, but he could not be expected to think of everything. "Oh, what a coward I am," she said to herself. Yes, there was no doubt about that. She was a coward, and had been so from the very first. The fear that had prompted her to "cover up her tracks" had culminated in this supreme act of cowardiee—her return to London as though nothing at all had happened. She ought to have stayed with the man she loved. She ought to show fight instead of running away. She ought to have defied her husbandand have defied Paula. Oh, no, all that was ridiculous. She had done the only possible thing. John Merrington's less of memory had tied her hands. What could she have done when John i'derrington was asking for Paula, when John Merrington did not review rather than new material. ; When we got our first "flivver," the boy was with his father whenJ' he learned to drive and also when re- pairs had to be made.

We have told him about our business, and have made himfeel that he has an interest in it. We believed experience was the best teacher, and he has learned by doing.' I think the way he managed when we were in quarantine showed that he had an ability to take responsibility, and the disposition to make the best of a bad situation. And with the teaching of other things we have tried to teach him that any grocer ever took an unfair advan- tage of him because he was just a boy. Last year he took sole charge of selling the berries—a crop that very defenceless up to then. "Thanks so much," said Ruth. "It's a long, slow journey." tures and yet in such a position that it concealed her face. Her thoughts went swiftly back to her own affairs again, and there was no further interruption for twenty minutes, From time to time she turn- ed overa page, but her eyes saw neither pictures nor letterpress. In fact, she was so occupied with the difficulties that seemed to be so thick about her path in the future that she did not notice that the train had stop- ped at a station near London until the door of the carriage opened and a man's voice' said, "Hullo, Lady Anne— never expected to find you here," Ruth, forced to move her legs to allow the man, to pass her, looked up at him, and saw that he was young and well dressed. He had a light - brown mustache and rather a jolly face. She quicklyhid him from view with her paper. Like the woman, he was an entire stranger to her. She had never seen him before, and it was hardly likely that she would ever see him again. The silence of the journey was broken at last, and i�llrte two friends chattered about, people and places that; uth had never heard of. The man's name appeared to be "Bob" and the woman was "Lady Anne." That was all that Ruth was likely to ever lmow of them. But she could no long- er think about herself. Her train of thought had been broken. And then, after a few minutes of small talk, the young man said, "When is the great case coming on?" And the woman, after a pause, re lied "In about three weeks' time, i believe. We've got Sir Alexander, you know." "Oh, have you—that's good," said the young man. "Bradney's the chap to have. Ever met him?" "No, but I shall do so, I suppose. Of course, I've seen his portrait in the picture papers." "Not much to look at, is he?" laugh- ed the young man. "One of your strong, silent men, I should think—I mean silent when he isn't paid to talk. I know 'a chap who .knows him very well indeed and this fellow told me that Sir Alexander hasn't very long to live" "Oh, they say that of so many peo- ple," laughed Lady Anne. "Well, any- how, he'll last for a few weeks, I sup- pose—until my case is over." "Working "himself to death," the young man continued. "Well, here we are—when shall I see you again?" "You must come and dine, with us on Thursday—eight o'clock, Don't worry about my bag. Arthur is meet- ing the train." Ruth, white-faced and trembling, held out the paper, and said, "Thank you so very much." Lady Anne smiled, said "Good -night" in a voice that in no way resembled the voice which bad A POPULAR HOUSE DRESS MODEL (WITH INSERTED POCKETS). 4426.

Women understand men far better than nese understand women. Thls is because women have been forced to study men.
