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" .,. Peggy„„leane4t over to kiss the wrinkled cluck:• ' You Will Enjoy Staying At The ST. REGIS HOTEL -' TORONTO • Every Room with Rath.

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 cemegt - Tiiis method cectagnly helped' -td mance- the breakwater a worthy challenger of the sea's most vio- lent moods, 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.

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.
