IV As childr"eii, Peggy and Maxine had run through the garden in- stead of through the house, and they had played hide-and-seek be- hind the hedge, so tall and thick was it now. Through the lattice of the summer house the entrance of Rosewood could be seen, aid Peggy had often looked tip from her school books when she studied there to magine a knight on a white horse coming through the gates and up the sloping road that led to the house, That had been years ago, of course. Peggy smiled now at her youthful dreams. She could not help loving this place that was hone. * * 4. As Peggy ran up the steps she saw through the open doorway a small but very spry old lady corn- ing towards her down the hall. Her brown eyes were keen and she wore no glasses. She said, she had her second sight. The face was lined, but they were lines of laughter, of understanding, and of character that had developed in eighty years, Her skin was pale but of a delicate texture, like a lovely piece of old. china. She wore, as always, a black silk dress made with a basque and a full gathered skirt. Over this she . wore a dainty white embroidered apron. Her soft white hair was parted in the middle and drawn over her ears to a small knot at the back of her neck, and she wore a fragile lace cap on her head. "Dinner is ready, Margaret," she said as Peggy entered. "What have you been doing? You are as mussed as you used to be at ten years old." "I'm sorry, darling. I shan't be a minute. I was just working off a lot of energy," /01'' Peggy leaned over to kiss the wrinkled cheek, You Will Enjoy Staying At The ST.

Clothes were never dropped on the floor nor on a handy chair or bed by any member of the Horton fam- ily, They were put in their proper places when they were taken off: It had become second nature to Peg- gy. Hastily she opened a lower drawer and stuffed in the discarded Sweater, pushing the drawer shut With her knee while she unfastened the skirt. The drawer stuck and she gave it a vigorous push. In a few minutes she descended to• the dining room in a cool, crisp frock of yellow linen, the braids, freshly plaited, once more neatly coied and in place. The thick walls of the old house insured coolness in every room even on the hottest day, just as Aunt Jenny's delicious cooking its- sured a hearty appetite from every- one who ate at the old mahogany table. "What time will you want Wil- liam this afternoon, my dear?" Mrs. Horton asked. "Olt, Gran, I don't meal William, 1'11 take the pony cart to meet Nancy." * * * Mrs. Horton had never ridden in ass automobile, nor would she con- sent to own one, although that was one of the things for which Peggy had been teasing her for several years. "There are one or two things I want to get while I am in town," Peggy continued, "so I'll leave a little early. You had better bring the pony cart around right after dinner, William," she addressed the somewhat aged Negro who ('vas serving theta; William had been just a little boy playing about the place when Mrs. Horton had come there as a bride. He had become a stable boy when he was a little older. That was when there had been many more servants than there were at the present time. Sihce then he had acquired other duties — houseman and coachman among them, His loyalty to his "white folks" was never questioned. To him there were no such "quality" living as the kl'ortons. * * * His one sorow was that he could not be in two places at one time — here to look after "Mis' May" -- Mrs. Horton — and "Mis' Marg'. ret," and at the same time be in that far away land of California to see about Miss Maxine. He fre- quently shook his woolly old head over the fact that the "'niftiest" ofe the girls was alone in some, to him, foreign country. After dinner Peggy ran it to her n roost for her hat and the ringat h t was still in the pocket of her sweat- er, Opening the drawer she drew the handkerchief frons the pocket and with nervous fingers untied the corner in which she had hidden the ring. A gasp of dismay escaped her, The object that had stuck when she ryaS hurrying to close the drawer had been Harry's ring, and tuv the fragile platinum circle was bent. Quite bent. For a moment her knees gave way, end she sank to the floor to sit staring at the distorted emblems of love lying in her hand, It looked just like a broken engagement, she ih0ttg;ht * tinsring her graildnsother's foot steps In the hall, she jumped to her feet, and quickly closing the draw- er, dropped the ring into her purse. "}low pale you are, child," Mrs. Horton exclaimed as she entered and caught a glimpse of I?cggy's face in tie mirror.

Mussels Helped Build Breakwater Cherbourg's breakwater owed much of its strength to a peculiar natural, factor. The French ever resourceful, harnessed the mussel to help in the construction. Mussels abound on the Normandy coast, and spin what is known as byssus, or a fine silk - like strand formed, by the mussel into a kind of string. The strings of all the mussels join up into a rope and form a mussel -mass so secure that not even the strongest sea can shift .it. When the breakwater was being built the ingenious French en- gineers put thousands. of mussels on looselypiled stones, knowing that the byssus would bind them together more strongly than any cement. This method certainly helped to make the breakwater 'a worthy challenger of the sea's most vio- lent snoods. How Far Then As the battalion marched on, one weary soldier fell out. Sitting down by the roadside he took off his boots to rest his feet. "How far is it to the camp?" he ,asked a passing farm hand. "About four miles as the crow flies," was the reply. "Ay," replied the soldier, "but s'pose the blinkin' . crow had to carry a rifle and pack weighing 'arf a ton and with blisters on bods heels, icon' far is it then?" CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM By.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time,—Only one period of time is even to be considered in this lesson in which so many passages are brought together; namely, that of the healing of the man born blind, which occurred in our Lord's ministry, mid-October, A.D. 29. Place.—Tlse healing of the man born blind occurred somewhere in Jerusalem. Man, Blind From Birth „ "And as Ise passed by, he` saw a man blind from his birth. And his disciples asked Him, saying Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that Ile should be born blind? Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him." It was our Lord's intention to warn the disciples against -a curious and un- charitable scrutiny of any man's life to find the cause of his mis- fortunes. The Light of the World "We must work the works of hint that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." The spectacle to Jesus was a call for Iselp, not a call to profitless speculation, but a call to prove that the works of God were works of concern for suffer- ing men. By the word 'day' Isere, Christ means the span of a man's life; and by the word 'night' He means the close of a man's life. the light of the world." This is a "When I ant in the world, I am tremendous statement that Christ makes concerning himself: He is the only true Light, and - that for the whole world, and for the world forever. The Blind Man Sees "When he had thus spoken, hr spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes . with the clay." This clay did not add to the Lord's power, nor was it necessary for the opening of the blind' man's. eyes. It was Christ's will that healed, but He uses these externals to kelp the poot man to believe that he is going to be heal- ed. "And said unto him, Go, wash hi the pool of Siloam (which is by in- terpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and cause seeing." Immediately the blind man dirt what Jesus told hies to do, and his faith was instantly re- warded by his sight being restored. The Unbelieving Pharisees "They bring to the Pharisees hini that aforetime was blind, Tlsey answered, and said.: unto hint, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast hila out" The miracle was indis- putable but there were Pharisees preseist at this time who refused to believe that this persois Jesus had actually performed such a nth, acle, The Blind Man Believes "Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding hies, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, And W110 15 Ise, Lord, that I may be- lieve on him?" The sun once blind had perhaps not before seen Jesus. He had been touched by Him; he had heard His voice; but the do not read that when he came lack I from tlse pool of beautiful spirit the man mice blind shows when he tells the Lord that he wottld like to believe on Ilius if he knew who he was "Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen hint, and he it is that spealretli with thee. And he said, Lord I believe. And he worship- ped hiss," The man formerly blind knew this person who stood before him was a man of great power, full of mercy and love. Now Ire was to know Him as the Son of God. The Light of God The Light of God "And Jesus said, For judgment cameHor this into world I .

New Gyro Gun Sight Aids Fliers The British believe they have nearly doubled the efficiency of fighter planes as the result of a new gyroscopic gun sight which corrects for deflection and speed by the twist of a throttle handle. The Air Ministry, announcing the new sight in London Aug. 13, said it is "almost uncanny in its accuracy." First details made available by the British information services describes the device as having a re- flector screen through which tha fighter pilot observes his. enemy,. Reflected on the glass screeu in a circle which expands and contracts as the pilot increases or decreases his range. The pilot feeds into the sight a setting for the wingspan of the enemy plane. Fighter pilots are able to open fire at more than 400 yards range at speeds of over 400 mills an hour, Relieve Neuritis••, Neuralgia Pain Aspirin Eases Pain Almost Immediately Why Aspirin works so fart Instantly!
