Alone in the 'world, but with a fortune of her own, she considers looking up her own family whom she has nev- er seen. A neighbor, Evan Bow- er, tries to argue her out of it and tells her he loves her and asks ber to marry hum•. She prone: to to think it over but decides first to see her family. She goes to their address, finds that they are destitute, have sold all of their furniture, have no coal, her mother is sick and her father has no job. Her sister treats her like an enemy and resents her offer of help, ' but finally, after many explanations, agrees to take mon- ey to buy coal and food in ondier to save her mother's, life. Mar- jorie goes out and buys food, coal and other supplies which are joy - meetly . welcomed by her sister. Her father comes in sick and hun- gry but hurries tothe cellar to •builid a fire and get the house warm. • Marjorie was at her side at once, her arms about her, soothing her, put- ting the hair back from her tired fore- head, putting a warm• kiss' on the back of her neck. "Why, you're cold' 'yet, you poor dear!" she said. "Come into the hall and sit over the register and get your feet warm." "No! No, I'm all right," insisted Betty, raising her head and brushing away her tears. "I just can't under- stand it all, everything getting so dif- ferent all of a sudden. Food in the house, and heat, and a chance to sit .drown." "But my dear, you've scarcely eat- en, a thing. Come, let me get you a nice little lunch," Marjorie made Betty sit down and eat. "Mother said the soup was the best thing she had tasted in weeks," she said as she ate hungrily. "Have you—told her about me— yet?" asked Marjorie anxiously. "No," said Betty. "I didn't have 'a chance yet. I didn't want to excite her while she was eating. And besides Father had come in and dropped down on, the other edge of the bed. He went right off to sleep. • "You spoke of Ted. Is he our bro- ther?" Marjorie asked. "Of course. Hadn't you heard of them, either? He's almost seventeen, and he's a dear. I don't know what we would have done while Father was sick, if it hadn't •been for Ted. He worked early and late, just like' a man. He's out now hunting for some kind of a job, And he hasn't had much to eat for a day and a half. He had a real desperate look on his face when 'he went away this morning. I wish he would come back and get some- thing to eat. But he won't come -un- til he finds something." "Olt," said Marjorie, " couldn't I go out and find shim?" Betty's eyes filled with tears, but she smiled through them, and shook her„ head. "I wouldn't know where to find Ted. He goes all over the city when he gets deoperate. He'll come pretty soon penhaps, because he said if be couldn't tlnd something else this morning he'd come back and get that chair and take it to the pawnbroker. He felt we ought to have some coal as soon as possible, but he hated to give up the last chair." "Os!r, my dear!" said Marjorie, her eyes clouded with tears of sympathy. "Oh, if I had only known sooner!" "Oh, don't you cry!" said Betty. "You've come, and I can't tell you how 'wonderful it is just to have it warm here again and have something to eat, and not be frightened about Mother and Father. I'm sure I'll love jorie, thoughtfully. "Not till Mother came to see her. And she never told me about that at all. She just left a letter." "1 see," said Betty sadly. "I was all wrong of course. But I guess that yeas what made Mother suffer so, thinking she had let you go. She has cried and cried over that. Whenever she wasn't well, she would cry all night. She said Mr. Wetherill came to her when she was weak and sick and didn't realize fully what she was doing. Father was threatened with tuberculosis and Mr. Wetherill prom- ised to put 'inn on a farm and start hie, out. Besides he gave them quite a sum of money to have me treated. It seems I wasn't' very strong and had to be under a specialist for a long time. They said, I wouldn't live if I didn't have special treatment" Betty's eyes grew stormy with bit- terness. "I used to wish eometi;mes they had. let me die. I thought Mother didn't love me at all, she mourned for you so much." "Oh, my dear!" said Marjorie con= ing close and putting her arms about cher sister, "My dear! I think we are going to love each, other a lvt!" It was very still in the little dreary kitchen for a minute while the two sisters held each other close. Then Betty lifted' her head. "I'm glad you've come, anyway!" ebe said. "You've been wonderful al- ready. And I'm glad for Mother that she needn't fret for`wihat she did any more. As soon as the doctor's been here I want, to tell her. It will cure her just to know you are here, I know it will." "Well, you'd •better ask the doctor if it won't excite her too much. There!. Isn't that the doorbell? Penhaps he's come! But it isn't quite two orclook!" Betty hurried to answer the bell, and Marjorie lingering in the kitchen saw through the crack of the door that it was the doctor. Betty took (him upstairs at once, and Marjorie stood for a minute by the kitchen window looking out. Then she remembered the pantry which she had been putting to rights, setting the supplies up " in an orderly manner on the shelves. She stepped on a box to reach the top shelf, and there she discovered a handleless cracked cup with little tickets in it. Were they milk tickets or what? She wiped off the shelf, steppeddown with the cup in her hand, and stood there examining the bits of patter:" Each one had eame- thing written on it. "Six plain' sterling spoons," one said. "One brussels carpet," said an- other. "Three upholstered chairs." Marjorie stared at them in dismay as she realized what these bits of pa- per ,must be. They were pawn tick- ets! They represented( the downfall of a home! A precious home where these her own flesh and blood had lived! She went on with the tickets. "One child's crib -bed." "Six dining room 'chairs." She stood studying then., trying to make a rough estimate of the entire amount loaned for all those artickes, when suddenly she heard the kitchen deer open and a boy's voice said: "What's the idea, Betts, of having the cellar window open? Did you think it was milder out than in?:' Marjorie turned startled, letting the pawn tickets fall back into the cup, and facing trim, not realizing that she still held the cup itt her hands. She saw a tall boy, lean and wiry, with a shock of red hair and big gray eyes that had green lights in them. e stared at her first with a be- wildered gaze like one who had come in out of the sun and could not rightly see in the dimmer light. "You are Ted., aren't you?" He stif- fened visibly, realizing that ho was in the presence of "stranger. "Yes?" the said coldly, lifting his head a trifle, with a gesture that in a man would have been called haughty. He was alert, ready to re- sent the intrusion of a stranger into their private ,m'is'ery. Then lie saw the cup in her hand, She turned, startled, letting the tickets fall. you afterwards for yourself, but just now I can't help being, thankful for the things you've done. Maybe I can make yon understand sometime when I'm not so tired. But you see I've hated you and blamed you for being better than we were so long! I see now it wasn't fair to you. You couldn't 'help what they did to you when you were a baby of course. Orly I never (Dreamed they wouldn't tell you any- thing about us. Mother said Mrs. Wetherill had said they would tell you you were adopted, and I supposed of course you kneW, and'didn't care to have anything to do with us." "I don't think Mrs. Wetherill knew 'much about you either," said Mar - and putting down the bucket of "coal he had picked from the dump he stepped over and took the cup pos- sessively. "That wouldn't interest you," he said coldly, reprovingly, "Ted!' said Marjorie impulsively, "I'm your` sister! Don't speak to me that way!" "My sister!" said Ted scornfully. "Well, I can't help it if yotr' are, that doesn't• give you a rif-ht to pry into our private affairs, does it?" c. An angry flush had stolen, over the boy's lean thefts, and his eyes were Ie h.rd as steel. a, "Oh, please don't!" said Marjorie. et covering her fate with her hands, "I wasn't - paging. I was „trying to hebp!" "Well, we don't need ygpu.r 'help!„ said the boy with young seorn in his eyes. "But you see, Ted, I'ma net a visi- tor. I'm one of the family, and Betty and I are working together." "Betty! -Does my sister Betty know you are here? Where is sihe?" "She's upstairs. now with the doc- tor." The doctor ! Is my mother worse?" "I don't know. I haven't seen her yet, but as soon as' I heard she was so sick I begged Betty to get the doctor. You know pneumonia is a very treacherous disease." "Yes, and who did you think would pay the doctor?" asked Ted in that hard colds young voice so full of anxiety and belligerence. "Oh, Ted! I'll pay, of course!" "Yes', and what do you think Mrs. Wetherill well say to that?" "Site won't say anything, Ted. She's dead!" There was. a bit of a sob in Marjorde's' voice in spite of her best efforts. The boy looked' at her speculative- ly and frowned. "If you are family why didn't you ever turn up before when Mother was fretting for you?" "Because I didn't know anything about her or any of you except that you had let me be adopted!" The hardness in the boy's face re- laxed. Then they heard the doctor coming downstairs, with „Betty just behind him, and, by, common consent they froze into silence. Marjorie with a hand at .her throat to still the wild' throbbing of her pulses. Then they heard the doctor's voice: "No, I don't expect her fever to go higher to -night. Oh, perhaps a lit- tle more. All she needs is rest and notir'dshm.ent and good care. Be care- ful about the • temperature of the room,. Of . course don't let her get chilled. That is the greatest danger. No, I don't think her lungs are in- volved yet. Good care and rest and the right food: will work wonders." "Doctor, any sister—has been away some time. She has just come pack. Do you think it will hurt Mother to know she has come? She has been grie$'ing to have -her at home." "What kind is she? Will she wor- ry your mother, or will she be a help?" "Oh, she'll be a help. She's rather wonderful ! " Ted stole a sudden shamed glance at Marjorie, with the flicker of a grin of apology in his young face. "Weli, then, tell her about it by all means. Joy never - kipis, Perhaps you'd better wait till she wakes up." When the door closed behind the doctor Marjorie bad a sudden feeling of let down as if she wanted to sit down and cry with relief. Betty's face was eager as she came out into the kitchen. She looked straight at Marjorie. Penhaps she didn't see Ted at first. "He thinks maybe she won't have pneumonia after all," she said with relief. "Oh, Ted, you've got back. I've been so worried! You went off without any breakfast, and you had no dinner East night!" Aw, whaddaya think I am? A softie?" said Ted. "I've been keeping the soup hot for ih•ian, said Marjorie, "Here it is, Ted." She placed a bowl on the box and brought the thermos bottle. "There's coffee too, and a plate of sandwiches." She set the things be- fore him. "Goeth ! " said Ted dumbfounded. "Where did you get all thin layout"." "You don't know what's happened since you left; Theodore Gay! A miracle has' come, that's what!" said Betty. "We've, got another sister, and she's just like Santa Claus, She did it ail!" "Gosh!" said Ted, wrinkling his nice mahogany brows, "but I don't think we ought to take it." "Well," said Betty, "I thought so too, but I found out it was a choice between that, and dying, and she seemed determined to die with us if we did, so I let her have her way." Marjorie felt a sudden lump com- ing into her throat that betokened tears near at hand. She felt so glad to have got here in time before her family starved .to death! How awful to think they had been in such straits while she feasted on the fat of the land!

Come with me on the little steatn- ,M,omel,• newest' German couquetst, b40'loug been a battiegroued of Euro- peen politics. Lying along the northeast frontier of Eeat Prussia and cut off from; the rest of Germane' by the "Polish Cor- ridor," Memel Territory is an irregu- lar sliver of land covering an area of about 1,099 square miles. The head- quarters of the National Geographic Society describe it as a farming and cattle -raising region, which has a pop- ulation of about 150,0,00 persons and includes the long -contested vital Bal- tic port of Memel—Klaipeda to the Lithuanians. "Given up by Germany under the Versailles Treaty, Memeiland was ad- ministered by the Allied Powers for several years after the World War," continues the bulletin. "In 1924 •following Lithuania's. ac- tion of the previous year in taping over the area, Memel Territory—with canteen autonomous rights --was leg- ally ceded to that country in a League. of Nations pact signed by Great Bri- tain, France, Italy, Japan ante Lithu- ania. Since then Memel has periodic- ally rated news- space as one of Eur- ope's problem 'children. "Such dramatic events as it has seen since the War, however, are mild compared with the past of this strip of land on the crossroads of interna- tional history. "More than 700 years ago, before the town of Memel was founded, its site was a battleground between Lith- uanian tribes and invading Teutonic Knights, a military and religious• or- der of German Crusaders. Destroy'i'ng the Lithuanian fortress which stood guard against Baltic pirates, the Knights built' their own stronghold, following at with the town of 'Memel - burg.' "As " an. early trade center, Memel grew and prospered, but found little peace. In the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries it was attack- ed and burned •tirne and again in a three -cornered' tug-of-war between Lithuanians, Poles, and Teuton's., the latter winning out in the Peace of Melee in 1422. "For a short time in 'the 1600's, the Swedes called Memel theirs; later it was occupied by Russian troops. Af- tes sacking and burning the town Week left it to the mercy of a plague. But the stubborn city again strug- gled to its' feet. As a thriving Prus- sian town, it became, until the World War, German's northernmost Baltic port. "Today Memel is the ' Lithuanian Republic's only good port. Moderniz- ed by the Government, with new wharves, warehouses, docking ma-. ebinery, grain, elevators, and cold - storage equipment, the old city has been given a new lease on life, not only as a timber center, but as a general transit port for foreign and domestic trade.

With this they thoroughly 'sweeten" and fertilize the ground_ Before then, in the. autumn when the last of the summer visitors to the island have gone, you will see the steamer bring in not holiday makers any more but an immense cargo, pil- ed so thigh as, almost to hide her super- structure. It is of wood, the Swedish spruce for the boxes into which the flowers are ultimately put. That is why the fragrant cargoes that arrive towards Easter at the railway termini in London and up country are made even more attractive by being cased in new wood. As the days of autumn merge into winter dark, you will hear on the is- land from almost every house com- munity sounds as though the whole little community had taken `to cob- bling. Whole households from fa- ther and mother down to the young- est children are at work nailing to- ged.her the boxes. By end of December, when parts of the British Isles may be a foot deep in snow, the rich green stalks of the flowers are In places already as much as 15 irrches high out of the ground. Very soon the first lovely buds ap- petrr upon them—sign that tie stren- uous season for the flower -folk is at hand. The blooms are grown not in vast open fields, as you might think, but in separate patches each cut oft' from the other by budge hedges or wales of evergreen. Those living barriers break furious gales of terrific weight which regularly sweep the small ar- e,ef land throughout the winter. The Scil•lonians pick the flowers while they are still at the stage of tender bud; and to make sure that these buds receive the minimum of injury the menfolk of the cultivators let their nails grow to •abnormal length. And when they get to work on the bud piclting there is nothing of the leisurely gardens about the process. A man Who is up to the mark as a picker will gather in not less than a thousand bunches between early morning and dark. The buds are brought Indoors to open. Sunny windows, warm spots in kitchen serve' the purpose for the poorer cultivators. But with the bigger producers the famous 'glass house" is used—and a marvellous sight are these houses with their pyra- mids and banks of living color.

Tike transfer of Memel from ad. mdinstratiot by a conference of Am, bassadiar'n was legalized; May 8, 1924, when Bmf t$,in,, France, Italy, Japan, and, Lithuania. signed the Memnel.Eon- vention. This made Memel a unit un- der Lithuanian• sovereignty, but with a large measure of local autonomy which was to be guaranteed by the four Large Powers. Lithuania invoked martial law more than 12 years ago, bilk had little real trouble with Memel until Adolf Hit- ler's rise to power in 1933. Alarmed at., the flood of National Socialist propaganda, the Lithuanians then imposed a virtual dictator's/alp, arrested Dr. Ernst Neumann., local German leader in 1934, and dissolved hie organization. In November, on the heels of Mun- ich, the Lithuan}ans lifted martial law. Dr. Neumann energetically, pick- ed up where he left off. • He organized a -new party)—andn car- ried. the Deeemrber elections, conduct- ed virtually on a "back -to -the -Reich" issue. Germans now sit in 25 of the 29 seats in the Memel Diet. On Dec. 30, the Memel Government ousted the Lithuanian State police and decreed that M.emelia.nders must 'be given precedence in Government jobs. . On March 16 the Lithuanian Gover- nor of Memel convened—the 'Diet for' March 25, when it was expected to pass a law conferring executive pow- ers on Dr. Neumann: • But Germany de- cided to "liberate" the territory and it went back to Germany. The Lithuanian Government, by its decision to surrender Memel blood- ress'ly, made it plain that it did not expect any help from the signatories of the Memel Convention. NO TURNING, NO CHICKS Turning the eggs regularly is one of the most t important operations in incubation. Eggs tibat are not turned .at all during the three weeks in the incubator usually fail to batch. Just Why turning is so essential to a good hatch hos not been fully ex- plained, but within reasonable limits, the more times eggs are turned the more chicks will hatch. The practical question to be answered is: "At what. point does the number of extra chicks hatebed become so small as to fail to pay for the extra .turnings?" Close observation has sleeve that eggs set under hens"a,re turned over many times each twenty-four 'hours. This is probably one of the reasons why bens can still outbatch the ,best artificial incubator. It has been shown to be commer- cially practical to turn eggs at least three times daily, and four times un- der certain conditions. With band turning the practical limit is usually three times a day. Turning during the first ten days of incubation seems to be especially im- A,QWET, WELL cOR':ratic'n ConecnsENT, MOPER 1149 NOOIl HOTEL --85 W1TIH t3 `.

Do not wait till they have been in the ;ma- chine three or four. days, before start- ing tarting to turn them. Early, regular, and frequent turning will give the eggs a good opportunity to batoh. , ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY An accident occurred on Highway No. 4, between Exeter and Heiman, Monday afternoon) when a car driven by Mass Ruth Bell, of near Kippen, •1 was passing a wagon driven by Vic- tor Black.

Splendid trick snapshots can ie taken with any camera—whether it's a simple, inexpensive box camera or one of the finest cameras made. Consider the snapshot above.

Photo tricks with string or thread are fun. Try a "magic golf club" shot. Just use light -weight thread, and suspend one cif your clubs from a tree branch, in proper striking position. Hang a ball a few inches in front of the club head. Now, have a friend pose as if hypnotizing the club into action—and shoot. If you use thread which is about the same color and tone as the background, it will not show. Thread filmy can be used for trick shots indoors. Thus, you can show your wife "hypnotizing" a vase of flowers right off the table—or beck- oning her sewing basket to her through the air. Just use dark thread to suspend the objects, and shade your photo lights. so the thread is not illuminate$.
