CHAPTER IV
As children, 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, and
.Peggy had often looked up from
her school books when she studied
there to magilze a knight on a
white horse coming through the
gates and uje 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 home.
* * *
As Peggy ran up the steps she
saw through the open doorway a
small but very spry old lady com-
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"

She rushed up the wide spiral
stairway pulling off her sweater.
as she entered her own room.
Clothes were never dropped on the
floor nor on a handy chair or bed
by any niemb'er 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 iiinutes 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 in-
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.
"Oh, Gran, I don't need William.
I'll take the pony cart to meet
Nancy."
* * *
Mrs, Horton had never ridden in
an 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 was
serving •them.
-"aa William had been just a little boy
playing about the place when Mrs.
- Iforforr find -come there' as°-a•°I rider
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 hint there
were no such "quality" living as
the Hortons,
* .* *
His one sorow was that he could
not be in two places at one time —
here to look after "Acis' May" —
Mrs. Horton — and "Ails' Marg' -
ret," and at the sante 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 "purtiest" of
the girls was alone in some, to him,
foreign country.
After dinner Peggy ran up to her
room for her hat and the ring that
was still in the pocket of her sweat-
er. Opening the drawer she dtkw
the handkerchief from 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 was hurrying to close the.
drawer had been Harry's ring, and
now the fragile platintene circle was
bent. Quite bent.
For a moment her knees gave
way, and she sank to the floor to
sit staring at the distorted emblem
of love lying in her hated. It ,looked
just like a broken engagement, she
thought.
• * *
Ilearing her grandmother's foot-
steps ill the hall, she jumped to her
quicklyfeet, and g
closing the draw-
er, dropped the ring into her purse.
"How pale ypu are, child," Mrs.
Horton exclaimed as she -entered
and caught a glimpse of Peggy's
face in the minor. "1 atn afraid
that you overdid this morning out
in that hot sun. Shall I get you a
little blackberry cordial?"
Mrs. Horton ,.ould have been
horrified at the thought of her
grand -daughter tasting a cocktail,
but. a little homemade blackberry
cordial or egg -nog on Christmas
mornings was diluent. Peggy shook
her head,
"No, thank you, darling. I am
really all right. Perhaps lust a lit-
tle excited at the thought of seeing
Nancy again." Her mind was work-
ing rapidly. "I am going to rtin
along now. Good -by for a little
while. Be goodl" she admonished.
Kissing her grandmother good -by
she htiried down the steps and relit
of the house.

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.1elp in the
construction, Mussels abound on
the Norniar-edy coast, and spite 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 loosely piled stones, knowing
that the byssus would bind them
together more strongly than any

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 Makin' crow had to
carry a rifle and pack weighing
'arf a ton and with•blisters on both
heels, how far is it then?"

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.—The healing of the man
born blind occurred somewhere in
Jerusalem.
' Man, Blind From Birth •
"And as he passed by, he saw
a • man blind from his birth. And
his disciples asked Him, saying
Rabbi; who sinned, this man or
his pereizts, that he should be born
blind'?s.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 thatasent'••nie; while it is day:
the night ` cometh, when no man
can work." The spectacle to Jesus
was a call for help, 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' here,
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 am 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, ht'
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
blrnd man's eyes. It was Christ's
• will that hitt He"usesthese'
externals to help the poor man to •
believe that he is going to be heal-
ed.
"And said unto him, Go, wash in
the pool of Siloam (which is by in-
terpretation, Sent). He went away
therefore, and washed, and came
seeing." . Immediately the blind
man did what Jesus told him to
do, and his faith was instantly re-
warded by his sight being restored.
The Unbelieving Pharisees
"They bring to the Pharisees
hien that aforetime was blind. They
answered, and said unto him, Thou
wast altogether born in sins, and
dost thou teach us? And they cast
him out." The miracle was indis-
putable but there were Pharisees
present at this time who refused
to believe that this person Jesus
had actually performed such a •inch
acle.
The Blind Man Believes --
"jesus heard that they had cast
him out; 'and finding . hint, he said,
Dost,. thou believe on.the Son of
God? He answered and said, And
who is, he, Lord, that I may be-
lieve on him?" The man once blind
had perhaps not before seen Jesus.
He had been .touched by Him; he
had heard His voice; but we do
not read that when he came back
from the pool of beautiful spirit
the man once blind shows when
he tells the Lord that he would
like to believe on Him if he knew
who he was.
"Jesus said unto him, Thou hast
bbtli seen him, and he it is that
`speaketh with thee. And he said,
Lord I believe, And he worship-
ped ,him." The man formerly blind
knew this person who stood before
hiin was 'a man of great power,
mercy
e Nowow
he
and love. full of
. was to know Him as the Son of
God.

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. 16,
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 the
fighter -pilot. oirserves' Tiffs enemy.
Reflected on the glass serreLz Li 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 miles an hour,
