A CHRISTMAS GIFT THAT
DAUGHTER WILL ENJOY.
About this time a year mothers and
aunts of growing girls are searching
their brains ior new ideas that will
bring pleasure on Christmas Day.
•Perb.aps one of the chief puzzles is to
and a book that the teen-age girl will
pronounce "the best ever." Last year
an unusually fine story, "Judy of York
Hill," came from the pen of a Canadian
-writer, Ethel Hume Bennett. Thou -
ands of girls will this year welcome
a book by the same author, "Cairip
Ken-Jockety" (which means "Far
from the madding crowd") is a whole-
some tale of a summer spent near
Georgian Bay in the far-famed High-
lands of Ontario. Our old friend Judy
Benson appears in this story, but the
chief Interest centres around Joyce
Hamilton, an American girl, and her
novel experiences as the guest of that
•delightful Canadian family, the David -
sons. Joyce learns all the joys of out-
door life, and finds beauty in Can-

adian history. This attractive story
Is well worthy of a place on your

CHILDREN AND MONEY.
We often hear the expression, "he
has no more idea of how to spend
money than a child." It is unfortun-
ately true that a great many people
have no sense of money value, and this
is even more true of children, which
is also unfortunate, Very young chil-
dren cannot be taught to estimate
money properly, of course, but after a
child has reached schdol age and is
studying enough arithmetic to enable
him to compute sums and do addition
and subtraction, he capeel-e--a,e4t

It was a very ordinary letter, but
Ruth, reading betvveen the lines, quite
underetood that Trehorn wished to eee
her, and see her alone. Perhaps he
had been afraid to be more explicit, in
case he laueband were still at the cot
tag°. Oh, yes, it:was not difficult to
imagine what Trehorn meant. It was
more difficult to decide on the answer
Did she want to see Trehorn alone?
Certainly she wished to thank him for
all he had done for her, and she want-
ed to ask more about Merrington than
she could have asked in the presence
of her husband. But was it safe, was
it wise and prudent of Trehorn to pay
her this visit? It would seem a very
ordinary visit indeed if her husband
suspected nothing of the truth.
• But that was the question. Did her
husband suspect anything? She had
asked herself that question again and

OLD CATALOGUES SAVE
CLEANING.
' Old catalogues may be made to
serve a useful purpose. H properly
distributed they will save a whole lot
of scouring and cleaning. Place a
catalogue on the shelf or table where
the small kerosene can is kept; if the
can is always placed on the catalogue
there will never be an oily ring to
clean from the shelf.
I like two or three such catalogues
in the screened cupboard where I
place pies'and puddings to cool so that
the painted shelves never become
stained. If a wood or oilcloth coveeed
table is used in the kitchen much time
is usually deveted to scouring from its
surface the marks left by hot or sooty
•cooking utensils. If the dishes had
been placed upon old catalogues all
this cleaning would have been un-
necessary.
The advantage of a catalogue over
newspapers is that the catalogue is
heavy enough to keep its place and
when its surface becomes soiled tear-
ing off a few pages leaves it clean
once more.
sense's .d.
• People IsPe' corning more and more to
the idea of an allowance for the child
who has no way of earning money.
They are delegating certain purchases
to the child himself, increasing these
with his age and increase in allowance,
and feel that when he does reach the
age that he can become a real wage-
earner or own a farni or run a busi-
ness for himself, he will be much more
capable of the proper distribution and
saving of his funds.
• The reason a great many people
have no sense' of money values is he-
cause they never had money until they
earned it themselves upon reaching
rna.turity. Childhood lessons make
much deeper impressions than those
that have to be learned later in life.
The child who must save his money to
buy a coveted 'toy will also be more
careful of the toy when he gets it, and
he has a bigger notion of just what its
value is. Though nothing seems so big
as the first money he earns, he will
have a more definite idea of what he
can buy with it if he has learned
money values,
Some parents pay children an al-
lowance provided the childrer, do a
Certain amount of work about the
home. Other parents feel that they
do not wish the children to get the
idea that they must be paid for what
they do at home. It is usually very
satisfactory for farm children to be
given such things as pigs and calves
or a small field for the boys, and
taldekens or a garden plot for the girls.
'The results of their care and labor
slid the money earned develop in the
children more business ability thart
could ever be talked into them after
they have started out for themselves.
The education of children may be
considered incomplete if they know
only how to count money, Even in,
buying their clothing they can be con-;
faulted. at an early age and get a more
definite idea of just what is good taste i
and why, and can get some idea of ma-
terials. Our richest MOD have often
Seen boys who had to learn the value

able to say "No" with any certainty.
True enough, he had done nothing and
he had said nothing to lead her to sus-
pect. that he had even the faintest sus-
picion of the truth. But she could net
get away froth the fact that she had
had a very narrow escape. But for
a mere accident the servant mightt
have betrayed her.
If she challenged fortune once
again, even in this so simple an affair
as the doctor's visit, she might not be
so lucky. She did not see what could
happen, but something ?night happen.
She had forgotten the servant. It was
quite possible that DOW she might be
forgetful of something• equally im-
portant. .
"I am a coward," she said to herself.
"I have always been a coward."
She rose from the breakfast -table,
flung open the French window, and
stepped on the balcony that ran round
three sides. of the very modern cot-
tage. Unlike most small houees, this
little residence, built close to the great
sea wall that kept the high spring
tides from overflowing the marshland,
had both its sitting-roorns on the first
floor. The kitchen and the hall and
the • servants' bedrooms were on the
ground floor, which lay below the top
of the sea wall. Only by this arrange-
ment could one obtain a view of the
sea from the roorns occupied by the
owners. From the broad • balcony a
little wooden bridge crossed the gulf
between the house and the Wall. At
either end there was a little wooden
gate.
"Burglars," Sir Alexander had once
said, "could wish for nothing better."
Ruth stood by the railing of the bal-
cony and, resting her hands upon it,
looked out across the sea. The cold
wind of the last few days had died
away and the water was as snlooth as
the surface of a pond. A faint haze
that lay over the land and sea seemed'
to intensify the calm serenity of the
world. And, looking on, this scene,
Ruth herself grew calm. The quiet-
ness gave her confidence, and she was
no longer afraid.
A few minutes later she went back
into the dining -roma and wrote a let-
ter to Dr. Trehorn—less cautious per-
haps than the one she had received
from him.
"Dear Dr. Trehorn," she wrote, "if
you are in the neighborhood by all
means come in and have tea with us.
I'm afraid I shall be alone, but I real-
ly do want to see you.—Yours sin-
cerely,
"Ruth Bi.adney.
"P.S.—Please come. I have so much
to say to you."
Ruth placed the letter in an en-
velope, gummed down the flap, and
went out bareheaded to the little post
office that was only a hundred yards
away from the cottage.
• Later on in the day she doubted the
wisdom of the postscript. But her
doubts only lasted for a few minutes.
No one but Trehorn would ever read
that letter, and he would burn it. He
had been obliged to be. cautious be-
cause of her husband. But she—well,

that he would, be, leaving on the fol-
lowing rnornirig, The landlord, a litga
jolly, redrfaced fellow, protested:
"With the weather, so fine as it is,
sir?" he said. "I suppose, sir, as you
ain't really comfortable.
"I've never been more comfortable
in my life," Dittonqeplied, " and I
shall return in a day or
"Ah, sir, that's good news. Well,
you shall have a good meal to -night,
sir."
It W ta'S a •good meal, and Ditton,
very hungry, did it justice. The ex-
cellent clear soup was followed by a
roast chicken and a large piece of
boiled bacon. Then there came a plum -
pudding, "the last, sir, of a •dozen,"
said the landlord. And then there
was a dish of toasted cheese, hot and.
bubbling and soft as butter. Ditton
drank a bottle of etout with his food,
and rounded off the repast with a
couple of glasses of old port from a
bottle that stood before hire.
Ditton was pleased with himself,
and so absorbed in his food that he
had not noticed the entrance of a tall,
thin, fair-haired man in a Norfolk
jacket and shabby grey flannel trous-
ers. He did'not see the man until he
had risen from his chair to take a
match -box from another table This
was not odd, for he, Ditton, had leen
sitting with his back to the door, and
the table where the stranger was
quietly eating two boiled eggs. .
"A very quiet fellow," thought Dit-
ton, and then, lighting his cigar, "Pool
devil—boiled eggs," and then aloud,
"I hope you don't mind my sal:faking,
sia?"
"Nct at all—not at all," sold the
steanger, and he cracked the shell of
has seecmd egg.
Ditton reseatedhimself with his
face to the stranger, andgazed attim
steadily through the faint haze of
smoke.
"Have you come far, sir-?" he quer-
ied. -
"Yes, very fa,r," the mananswered
without looking up from his plate —
"in fact, from the other end of the
world."
"Ah, that is a good walk," laughed
the detective. -
The stranger smiled pleasantly.
"Ah, you knew I was on a waLking
tour?", he queried.
'Yes, sir—I see your rucksack in
the gorner. there." I suppose, you've
come up from Folkestone?"
"You re'right.° And I'm going on to
London." ,
"Well, it's nice weather for walk-
ing. sir," said Ditton, and then, after
a pause,' "1 think we've met before
somewhere, haven't we?" -
The stranger looked at Ditton,'s face
for a few mothents and then he smiled.
"Perhaps we have," he replied, "but
[I have a shocking memorY for faeees

and I've bee'n abroad for eighteen
years." ° •-
"Oh, then I douldn't have met you

me bade so far as that. I am sure I
beg your pardon."
"Don't mention it. Well, we've met
now, anyway.,Queer old inn this, isn't
it? Hundreds of years old, I 'dare say."

of the ceiling, 'at the wide, open fire-
place in which some blazing logs burnt

"Yes, I suppose it is old," he re-

something a bit more cheerful. Will
you join me in a glass of port, sir?"
"Port, eh? After two •boiled eggs?

and seated himself at Ditton's table.
"I'll risk it," he said, "and I'd like a

Ditton took another wineglass from

with wine. - • •

WASH -DAY GLOVES.
One day last winter I experienced
extreme discomfort in hanging out my
clothes. My old white gloves soon be-
came wet and the freezing cold stung
nay fingers unmercifully. Next morn-
ing as I turned toward my 'kitchen
window a flash of orange caught my
eyes --the rubber gloves that my
neighbor was wearing as she }lung up
her wash. Right then I marveled at
nay own density,. but it goes without
saying that the next frosty wash day

The Stupidest Beast in

The rhinoceros is, the stupidest old
fellow in all Africa, according to Geri'

Akeley tells how he discovered,
quito. by accident, that, a, rhino's
"charge is not necessarily fatal, ,
"I was going along the 14Senk of the
Tana River one day"with my•campes.,"
he says. "Suddenly I was set, ail a-

of a rhino coming .through the., bushes
