It was not until Ruth was in "`the tram 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 tb.e accident, Fortunately her hand, covered in thick fur -lined glove's, 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 sone 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-� o f reat ac ogle? seates-c 1i s`•e 'the True English fashion, as far away from Ruth as possible. The door closed, the foot- man raised his hand to his peaked cap, and the train moved on. Ruth, no longer able to examine her town 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 dame. 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. He 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 cowardice—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 l away=. She ought to have defied her z husband and have defied•_Paula, Oh, no, all that was ridiculous. She had done the only po:lsible thing. John Merrington's loss of memory had tied s her hands. What could she have done when John Merrington was asking for b Paula, when John Merrington did not c reletsiteigraMeieSeueeeerimetftetemlel even remember the face of the wom an for whom he had forsaken his wife? "Wouldn't you like something read?" said a clear, quiet voice. Ruth started as though she h been half asleep. "Oh, thanks most awfully," she r plied. "It's very good of you." The stranger held out two paper and Ruth took the larger of the tw would form a barricade behi which she could hide her face a even part of her hat. She had fel very defenceless up to then. "Thanks so much," said Ruth. "It's a long, slow journey." Ruth was glad th •the • :1100se, WlIA.'C I TEACH MY CHILDREN AT HOM.t-, 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 review rather than new material. When we got pm,. first "flivyer," the boy was with his father when -he. learned to drive and also . when re- pairs had to be made. When he was old enough to have a driver's license he knew how to drive,' and else .a good deal about caring fora machine.

When he was quite young d Ihe occasionally made` the trip alone, and we never had any reason to think a any grocer ever took an unfair advan- tage of him because he was,just a boy. Last year he took sole charge of s, selling the berries -a ` crop' that wo. brought several hundred dollars. He nd was very successful in this. nd Two years ago we were quarantined It by diphtheria, and the boy had: to do all the kitchen work.' He .also took care of a little six-year-old 'cousin, r This was work for which he was. the wholly untrained, but he'got along uld fineand the food prepared for, the pa - ,c tient and his father, who . acted' as at nurse, was surprisingly good. He was a happy boy, however, when Mother to was able to take charge once,` more, and as we could then obtain help he had an honorable discharge. I feel that he had learned a good deal,. because we have not always kept him at the drudgery of chores, but have given him work that required some care and responsibility. We have told him about our business; and have made him feel 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 "honesty is the best policy."—Mrs. H. N.

She held paper at such an angle that she 'co. pretend to read it and look at the pi tures and yet in such .a position th it concealed her face. Her thoughts went swiftly back her own affairs again, and there was no further interruption for twenty minutes. From time to time she turn- ed over a page, but tier 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 quickly hid hint 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 the two friend chattered' about `people and places D that Ruth had never heard of. • T eal'ed�to�be.:'`i�hatran e man was "Lady Anne."

"Well, any- how, he'll last for a few weeks, 1 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. Dont worry about my bag. Arthur is meet ng the train." Ruth, white-faced and trembling, held out the paper, and said, "Thank. you so very much." Lady Anne smiled, aid "Good -night" in a voice that i no way resembled the voice which had een chatting to "Bob," and.left the arriage. Ruth did not move. She tared blankly at' the crowd on the platform until a porter thrust his head into the carriage and said, "Shall get you'u cab, ma'am?" "Thank you," she replied, "I have a runic in the van. Please take it to the loakroom"; and she followed him, alking very slowly. "Alec ill?" she kept saying to her - elf. "Alec—so near to death? It is ot true, It is a lie." A feyv minutes later she sank back on the cushions of the cab, told the. orter the address, gave him sixpence, nd then, as the cab moved out of the Wien, she laughed. Her husband ing breast.

It was not until 1840 that solid - beaded pine. caane Into general use About that time an American named Wright patented a machine which could turn out 160 pins a minute. In the menufactune of mod:ia'mpig brass, cadre is ,used. It le drawn to the required: length seed, pointed by means. of a revolving cutter, while the heads are shaped by a die, Atthis✓ stage the pins are boiled in _weak beer to reni;ove grease and other matter. Then. they are .given a bright silvery appear- ance by coating them, . with tin, or "'coloring," as it is oalied. The most costly pins are those made of very fine hair-like wire; thew ane used by trisect collectors. In the middle ages pins • were made by a very slow and tedious, method, each pin passdmg through ; sixteen: dif- ferent handle before it was finished! The head, which consisted of a small piece of. w4ir!e, Was made • separately and secured to the sl1nm,k by compres- sion. „, The Saxons, • made their pins chiefly of bronze and bone; they were curi- ously fashioned, some being . in the form of a horse-shoe, wMle others re- siembied a erose. Specimens of these ancient pins have been unearthed from the parehds- torte cave dwellings of Switzerland. In Length some of them compare fa- vorably with our modern hat -pins! They are wonderfully carved with :oz- nameatal heads, some resembling ani- mals, whale others, with round amber heads, look like modern scarf -pins. During recent excavations at Pom- peii, safety -pins, were discovered ' re- sembling those in use at the present time. The increased cost of fine teas has tempted some to try cheap, inferior teas to their sorrow. It is real economy to use "SALADA" since it yields to the pound more cups of a satisfying infusion and besides has such a fresh, delicious flavor. Following Directions.
