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 her to marry him. She promises to think it over but decides first to see her family. She goes to their address, fends 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 oney to buy coal and food, in ander to save her mother's Iife. Her father comes in sick and hungry ,but hurries to the cellar to build a fire and get the house warm. Her brother Ted cones in, is re- sentful of her ,being there at first, 'but when she finds all that she has done both he and Betty de- cide they like their new sister. • Meanwhile, Egan Brower finds she has' disappeared and frantic- ally tries to locate her. "I'11 carry you," she said brightly, struggling with the frantic child. "-There! There, you're cold. See, I'll tuck you inside this nice kitty -coat!!" Sshe unbuttoned ,her coat and put him within its folds. It wasn't an easy trip, that, but Marjorie was very determined when she started a thing, and at last, breath- less and aching in every muscleasthe arrived at the house, a little behind Ted and. his burden. By the time Ted arrived with the hand cart the sisters had Bonnie es- tablished on a hard little bed on the floor in the kitchen_ "What has Ted been after, any- way?" Betty suddenly asked. "I told him to bring that first and then go get a truck and tering all the 'rest of the thi•ngs." "Oh!" said Betty breathless with relief. "Oh! Won't that be wonderful! But—what a lot we'll owe you." Then they heard the_ front door open and heavy footsteps tramping in and the girls flew to caution Ted, and set Bud to watch the door. "I found Bill hanging round with nothing to do, so we brought every- thing," explained Ted in a low mum- ble to Marjcirie. It ,proved a bit hard to subdue Bill's voice and step, but Betty was vigi- lant, and Bud was delighted with his office of doorkeeper, and it didn't take long after all to marsball in the poor bits of household comfort .that had gone out one by one to supply neces- sities. When the door shut at last on Bill, and they heard his truck drive away, the brothers and sisters looked at one another in the garish light of a single ^stark electric bulb swinging from a long wire in the parlor ceil- •ing and drew breaths of relief. Sud- denly Betty drropped down in a big shabby faded chair, buried her face in her hands, her weary slender young shoulders shaking with, the sobs she would not allow to' become audible. Marjorie was by her side instantly, her arras' about her. • "There, dear! Don't cry. Poor dear! You're so tired, aren't you? But lis- ten! We're going to have a nice sup- per dew and a good time • getting things to rights. Come, cheer up!" Betty raised. tearstained eyes and began to laugh softly, hysterically. "I'm—on.ly crying because it's so wonderful—to see our old things back again,!" s'he gurgled, Marjorie smilred- •"Well, it does seem more homelike, doesn't it? My! That couch looks .up tonight at alk" He glanced down at Marjorie. "You're the sitter, aren't you? You two are very much alike. Well, I think you can be easy in your mind. Any- how I'll be back in the morning." "But we have another patient in here," said Marjorie. "I think you'd better look at her before you go. I've done all I know how to do but her temperature seems to be going up in s'pite,,of It." She led' the way to the couch,. "I don't anticipate anything ser- ioue," said the doctor with a smile to- ward Betty, and another at Marjorie. lt's her stomach, of course. Children will eat all sorts of things, you know. It looks! like a light case of ptomaine, but I think Obeli come out all right -1 Don't you worry," he added comfort- ingly, "everybody's going to be all right. They'll all be , decidedly better in .the morning, I'm sure." Betty looked up and met this eyes wistful'l'y, and Marjorie watching saw the glance, and thought what nice eyes the doctor had. Nice brown eyes. ,. Dinner was ready in a surprisingly short •time, and the starved young appetites were ready too. ' Marjorie want out to the kitchen to get Bud 'his glass of milk, while Ted attacked the big beefsteak, with the carving knife which had just been recovered from the pawn shop. "It's almost too pretty to cut, isn't it?" he said. And then he heard a step behind him. They alit turned and .there stood' their father staring at them all in wonder, and sniffing the air. "I smelled sometihing so heavenly," he said., and he smiled a tired Little. smile that made hirer look like Bud. "Where did you get the meat, Ted?" he asked, his eyes resting on the lad- en table. "It appears you are having a feast." ."Sit down, Dad," said Ted! laying down the knife and springing to dtnaw up a chair for his father, "You aren't fit to stand up." - "Oh, I'm all right,"- he said, pass -1 ing a hand over his forehead. I' thought I'd go out and, see if I could get an evening's work. Lt might bring in a few cents and help to buy another bag of coal." "My eye, you will!" said Ted. "You sit down and eat your dinner,' that i•s, if you feel able to sit up." The father sank back in the chair under Ted's powerful young handling, and looked about dazed. "But you haven't told me yet where you got all this dinner?" "Father, I'd better tell you right off quick. It's all in the family. You don't need to be troubled. My twin sister bas come and gibe got all these things!" c, 'Phe father looked up with great startley eyes, and turned perfect- ly white. ; "Your sister has come? What do you mean, Elizabeth? ,Do you mean the little sister who was adopted? Do you mean that she has come and gone and your mother and I did net see ter?" "No. Oth, no, Father," said Betty, half frightened at what her revela- tion had done to her father. "Slee 'hasn't gone. She's Nat here in the house. Here she comes now ! " Marjorie stood theresmiling with a plate of bread in one hand and the KIass of ,milks in the other, looking so at home, and so sweet and domes, Seated that be had to look twice, to be sure she wasn't Betty. And Mar- jorie met her own father's eyee for the first time in her young life, and los ed him at once. Suddenly she put down on the cor- ner of the table the things she was carrying and went to meet the father who diadrisen' to this feet and was staring at her, went sweetly across across the year into his arms and laid her golden head on -his shoulder looking up into this face. "Father, I've came home! Do you mind?" she eaid slyly. Hungrily his arms went round cher, and this face came down softly and touched berg. "Do 1 mind?" he said wonderingly, "Do I mind? Oh, my little girl, whom "It's all right, Dad, but you won't bore long if you . don'., sit down and eat some of this, beefsteak ,pretty quick, and I mean ite' "But, my son, I cannot. eat until 1 understand-" "Alt right, tell him, Betts!" said the boy. "Why, Father, it's just that we have a fairy sister with pockets full of money, and she insisted `en paying for everything," said Petty. "Do you mean," asked the father, laying his fork down beside his plate with a look of finality, "that we are feasting on Mrs. Wetherill's money? I could not possibly do that, may dear." There was such pain and pride in this voice that Marjory'e' heart was thrown into a panic. Was pride after all to put an end to her new, hopes, and plane? "Father—" she said earnestly, and did not realize how naturally she had called him .that, "it isn't her money at all. It is my money. I didn't knew whether you wanted me or not, or whether anybody wee alive or not, but I had to come and tree. I had to find out if there waa anybody who really loved me a little bit" There was the catch of a sob in her voice as she finisted, and a mist in her eyes. Even young Bud paused in his chewing for ape instant and look- ed at her 'sympathetically, • Then the father came out of his sorrowful daze. "Want you?" .said he tenderly, "How we thave wanted you! flow we have longed for you, -and talked about you, and tried not to blame one an- other, your mother and I, for shaving let you go!" "Oh, dear Father!" said Marjorie deeply stirred, and patting out a shy hand to lay upon his. "I'm so glad it is not too late for me to try to make up just a' little for your suffering!" He gathered her hind into his thin nervous one and clasped it close. "Does your mother know?" he ask- ed of Batty. "Not yet, 1 thought she ought to get a good sleep first before we ex- cited her. Besides there was so much to do to get things going right a- gain," explained Betty. "Well, this will be meat and drink to your mother," said the father, gaz- ing intently at the new unknown daughter. When Betty came down to break- fast Marjorie was setting the table. She had cut the' bread and laid out the eggs and bacon. "You'd better make the coffee," She said to her sister. "I don't know how without a percolator, 1'en afraid I would spoil it." "We used to 'have a percolator when we were at Brent ood, but it got broken in. the rimy ng," sighed Betty. "Brent wood? What's Brentwood ? Was that where you lived before you came here?" "Yes," said Betty sadly. "It a as swell! It was an old farm house that Chad got caught on the edge of a .new suburb, when the city grew out there. and it had been fixed up with a great big porch across the front. There was a view out across a valley, look- ing away from the city, and a little brook in a meadow next to our place. Then the mean Dad workedfor died, and the firm closed up, and here we are!" Betty's tone was almost hopeless as she finished. Then after a minute She went on again. "Can you blame Mother for getting sick and going all to pieces?" Then the father's voice was heard calling: ' "Betty!" . Bettl turned and flew up 'the stairs. In a moment elle was down again, her eyes, fuleof excitement. "Father's told Mother, and she wants you to come right up!" Marjorie turned on her eager sis- ter and kissed her. "Don't worry," she saki softly, 'pit's alt going to come night." Then she hurried off upstairs. Afterward Marjorie couldn't quite remember everything that happened', or what they all said. It was. just a memory of being folded in tender frail arms, gentle hands upon her head, the softest lips in all the world upon her own, kisses on her lips and forethead and eyes. A voice say- ing softly; "My little, little baby. My lost darling ! " When see came downstairs at feet she had a look upon her as if see had been crowned. The girls sat down in ,the kitchen for a minute. "You'll want to fix Mother's room before the deter comes, that is, if see wakes up in time. If she doesn't, we'll just have to let it go as it is. Doctors always under- stand." (Continued Next Week) good to me. I'm going to try it alter 1 I have never seen before! Maaper ter a while, but now I'm going to take' little Betty. Do I minds?"

"How we have wanted you," he said. • Bonnie's temperature again and see whether we need the doctor." But while she was taking the tem-, perature, the doctor arrived! "I've lied a call out into the corm - try," he explained as Betty opened the door for him, "and I might have to •be gone all night. I thought I'd better just step in and see how the patients are before I leave. I want to make sure your mot'her's lungs are not involved before I go so far away!" Betty went with shim upstairs.

Salt, calcium chloride, and otther chemicals commonly used to hasten the melting of ice and snow are not good for automobiles. The effect of .the chemicals especially on sheet met- al, is 'to set up corrosion ethic'', ev- entually eats• through unless checked: The best precaution is to have the car thoroughly cleaned early in the spring, and to instruct :the service man. to touch up any spots where the enamel is worn through. Even in localities where chemicals have not been used, it is a good idea to have the chassis cleaned far spring and summer motoring. Make Your Lights Right All' headlamps on cars are carefully instpected1 and properly aimed and ad- justed, before they leave the factory, but unfortunately they seem to be al- most. universally neglected after the car is put ,Into use. Headlamps, like all other autosnobitle parts, need at- tention from time to time if they are going to give really efficient service. Defective headlamps on a car driv- en at night are dangerous to driver and public alike. Modern cars have different light beams for different needs- Parking lights ere not suit- able for use when driving. Lang, country beanie are not suitable for 'city driving. The shorter beam too, is not suitable for use in the country where higher speeds prevail. All three types are on all ,modern cars. Use the right one for the right purpose. He ,touched her forhead with his lips, alaiiost as if 'he felt she was not real, and then he looked up again while all the other ohi•ldren sat and looked on in wonder. A sadness had come over that sudden radiance of hie face. "Bat what a home you have come to, my child! What a home! All the comforts gone!" Then suddenly he looked around and saw the familiar sideboard and chairs and table, and bewilderment came into his' eyee. '"Alm I dreaming, Ted? Or is all this real?" He turned troubled eyes an, his boy. ' Ted gave him a sharp look. THE POPULAR COMIC STRIP Police Radio Cars Since the Toronto police force adopted' an up-to-date radio system for its patrol cars about four years ago, papers issued for !school use, some in the field of natural science, some teaching kindness to animals, good sportareanshlp, etc. If all the other qualities of a good comic strip are there, obtildren go after the strippthat contain good teaching, with the same avidity they show for pourer strips, she ,has found. Teachers were therefore urged to throw, their, influence on the side of every good comic strip and to study the nature of this and other printed material in its appeal to the child, Former Reading Tastes Methods of teaching that melee lit- tle use of magazines and newspapers are not facing modern conditions, it was said. Pupils Should be helped to form ,habits of ourrent material and of discriminating between good and poor, fact and propaganda, and ehould begin. in the early grades, was the general opinion expresee L Papers and magazines especially for school use were considered bee until the child grew old enough to be guided gradually into making the transition to some use pf adult periodicals; but all along the line teachers should be bringing outside current material in- to the classroom and helping bhe chil- dren to seek it outside as well, it was co n t ended. "Tee wide awake teacher makes use of ail modern modes of oomaiuni- cation in home, school and comtmun- ity, such es the radio, the motion picture, the library, the newspaper, and the drama," according to ,Mist Dorothy Cadwallader, of the public sellouts of Trenton,, N. J., leader of the combined study groups taking up etch of these fields." But because these things have swept into our lives so swiftly, teachers need help in mak- ing adequate use of them. •It is to pool experiences that we get toge- ther," she explained. Are there any good conic strips? If so, what makes them good'? The wholesome and earnlfull aspect of this type of humor was one of the ques- tions that is concerning delegates of the convention of the Association for Childhood Education in s'e3slion at Atlanta. "Every good comic strip should have plot, action, suspense, surprise, and humor," said Mise. Eleanor John soon of the American Education Press• Columbus, Ohio, leader of the group studying nrewepapers and magazines "And we would add good English and go even further and urge that it teach the child something, Current funnies that are outstandingly bad are for the most part too emotional' or feature bads ethics such as warlike character !sties, resentment, reprisal, or taking unfair advantage," she added.

Chemists Cut Costs - To chemists in their laboratories goes much of the credit. for the great •reduction that retail' car prices have ,scent in the lifetime of most of us. Between 1925 end 1937 the retails price of automobiles has, dropped about $300 per velhiele, while at the same time bigger and better cars shave been put at the disposal of the motoring public. Good rubber tires; btigh grade alloy steels, and practically every other ele- ment that goes into the making of an automobile are either chemical or metallurgical products, or they have chemistry involved in their manufac- ture. Gasoline, oIL, and, in some cas- es, even the water 'in the radiator, is treated ehemicatly to make it more efficient as a servant of the' car driv- er. HOUSE CLFANING TIPS When washing windows on the in- side, put a newspaper under the lower edge of the windrow sash- It will fall over and protect the wall paper from being spotted ltnderneath. One can work faster and do a neater job as well when the paper is there. When the window is washed and polished. it takes only a second to take the paper out from under the sash. Freshening Dark Woodwork Dark woodwork often takes on a dull or spotted appearance when it is washeddwith soap and water or varn- ished. Chemists explain that the soap and water is inclined to destroy the. finish- The spots become sealed. in by the varntise,. To avoid this, go over the dark woodwork with a mixture of equal parts of turpentine and ,linseed oiti the kind painters use. Stir or shake the mixture and apply with either a cloth or a brush. This will both' clean a:nd dress the dark surface. Paint the Radiators A rusty, dingy looking radiator gi v es a touch of unnecessary slhab- tiness to a room or a hallway. 1t encsn't take long or cost much to gets enough radiator paint, bronze, or srit r to ooat the surface freshly and to give this, heating unit an entirely different and improved appearance. When hanging pictures after house cleaning, the task is quickly and •sat- is:factorily done if a measuring rule is used to get the exact spot where the holding hook should be placed. Teaching Children Drama Miss Dorothy McFadden, of Junior Programs, inc., and leader of the stu- dy group on dramatic arts far chil- dren, sees an important contribution to education in the growth of ohil- dren's theaters with professional ac- tors, along lines, developed in Copen- hagen, Glasgow, and London, but with the special aim of mooring it possible for underprivileged, cbi-Idren as well as those able to pay the small admit- tance fee, 10 see good plays. "Children need drama, both as arida enoe and participants," Miss McFad- rrcn said. As participants she feels they are only beginning to be given (bra Mat ic work really suited to them. for teachers in the past +have not bad bite erteeded training to do this. "On the one ,hand," she went on, "teachers and parents (have forced chiidrenn into types of plays for which they are not ready, turning them into little mimics rather than belying them grow through dramatic experi- ence- On ,the other hand,"parents and teachers often underestimate what children can really do if the material is a genuine part of their experience." In most cases little children should make up their own plays, slhe said, Met told of a teacher who has been using Shakespeare's "Tempeet" with children in the lowest grades. Clus- tered into a little group, they have been- hearing the story, bitt by bit, and talking it over, with much of Shakespeare's language used in the telling. They have been "playing" it, too, adding more es they make it their own, capturing much of the Language because they love the wording and rhythm and executing their own stage effects, as needed. "The South in Song and Story" was the theme of the dinner meeting. Willis A. Sutton, Superintendent of Schoole, Atlanta, long a beloved figure in the edecra•t.ional world and. one- time President of the National Educa- tion Association, injected a hilarious note of rella.xation into the eonven- tion with Il uisttra.tions of plantation humor Remi his ,boy !rood ,Asea.

Patching Net or Lace Curtains A break in a net or lace curtain, may be invisibly mended by applying a patch of the necesrsary size of the same or similar material- Dip the patch in the same starch with which , ' the net has been stiffened Ironn the patch into place and it will stay un- til the curtain is .laundered ,again. At. that time, the break may be repaired in the same way by just basting the patch on where it ,belongs. When the curtain is ironed or stretched, the patch will • adhere. Later all that will be necessary is to iron, it down and that will take •only a rnimutt . Sometimes very good -!looking and satisfactory rugs may be made out of the best part of lengths of carpet. Cut the rugs the desired Length and bind the ends with carpet binding tape which can be procured tin differ- ent colors—black, red, green. An elderly native entered a••Govern- ment"offiee in Southern Rhodesia, pro- duced a South African half -mown and, asked for a bicycle Itemise. The official at the eoun'ter pointed out that the coin was not legal ten- der in Rhodesia. To explain the posi- tion, the official produced a Southern Rrhodesian half-crown, and compared the reverse side with' the South Afri- can. The old native looked at the two carefully and then tunned them bath over. "But it is the same King," re de- clared. The official was so struck with this logic that he accepted the coin. ekeSNAPS4OT CUIL SUNSHINE INDOORS Appealing "indoor sunlight" pictures can be made •with the simplest cameras. Photo lights may be used to brighten shadows. "Indoor sunlight" snapshots are easy with box cameras and high speed film. SS, subjects; WW, sunny windows; C, camera; PP, photo lights In reflectors to brighten shadows. MOST sunshine pictures are made outdoors. But charming sun- shiny pictures 'can be made just as easily indoors, wherever the rays of the sun stream through a window. l uch indoor pictures are espe- cially attractive when the sunlight is used as "backlighting" The pic- ture above is "backlighted" — the sun comes from a window behind and slightly to one side of the sub- jects. Therefore, the subjects are surrounded by a bright edge light- ing, and interesting shadows are thrown toward the camera. When you make these backlighted pictures, it is wise to use photo lights to brighten the shadows (see diagram). This not only produces a better picture effect, but shortens the exposure. With photo lights ar- ranged as shown, a snapshot can be taken with a box camera loaded with high speed film. Other cameras, 1/25 second at f.11. Interesting silhouette pictures can be made, too, when the subject is placed in front of a sunny win- dow. If a silhouette is desired, do not use the photo lights or a reflector of any kind to illuminate the shadow side of the subject. With subject against a sunlighted windo•nir make a snapshot with the second stop opehing on a box camera. - Try a roll of "indoor - sunlight" pictures. Many charming effects can be obtained, and snapshots of this type have a cheery, homelike touch that makes them treasured posses sione. 2211 John vale Guilder.
