INTEREST YOUR CHILDREN IN
BOOKS.
A few days ago I drifted into one
of the large book stores in a big city.
My attention was immediately drawn
to the number of people crowding
around a certain department. Instinet
told me there must be a bargain, and
a woman's inclination toward bar-
gains led me directly to that part of
the store.

children were sailing; on the Round
Pond, and the fine weather, and such
thing hard to do; but rather to instill
in her youthful mind that reading is
a pleasure.
It is essential also, that the books
we select for children be interesting
to them, as well as easy to read.
Stories within the child's sphere of
experience in life are most appreciat-
ed and leave their impression. Stories.
of imaginative happenings and un-
usual incidents are always entertain-
ing and have their part in developing
the imaginative nature of the child.
Mother and father may do much to
lead the little folks to love the right
kind of books. One mother recently 1,
told me of her experience in develop -1
ing the reading habit in her youngl
son. "His father and I often read the!
books he reads," she said, "so we can
discuss it with him afterward, In
some stories we try to see who can
find the most hidden lessons. If we
have other books that will help him
to understand more thoroughly the
one he is reading, we leave thein lying
on the library table where they will
be sure to catch his eye. When he
finds something himself, that connects

half an' hour, and then Fletcher pap- harmless topics,' my lady. Then he

I ought to tell you. If you got to know
of it from Mr. Crust you'd think it
odd, wouldn't you, my lady, if I'd said
nothing about it?"
"You have clone the right thing,"
said Ruth, with a smile. "You have
a knack of always doing the right
thing, Fletcher. Now we really must
make some preparations for the week-
end. You'd better order the car to
come 'round. I must go into Folke-
stone and order some food."
Fletcher left the room, and Ruth
stood by the window looking out at
the sea. She was at last face to face
with a definite danger. The police,
after many weeks, had at last got
bold of some clue that connected her
in some way or other with the death
of Paula Merrington. There was nc
room for doubt. A man like Mr. Crust
would hardly have troubled to make
