"Do you think that it will rain. on

This was the question repeated over
and over in the few intervening days
before the eventful Friday dawned,
when it answered for itself.
Never, Daisy thought, had the sun
shone sobrightly, or the birds sung
so merrily; but never had there been
a morning so. long.

Daisy flew to open the door for
them herself, but scarcely had she
taken them upstairs to remove their
wraps, when first one and then an-
other followed, until, in half an hour,
none were wanting, save one.
Ellie piece, the seamstress' little
sister had not yet arrived.
Just as Daisy, looping round among
her guests, realized this, there came a in bitter irony. "Such a name is only

"ret me go home!" she sobbed. "Let'

But Daisy, who had just gathered
the meaning of what was occurring,
sprang to herr side and threw her
arms about her.
'Are you not ashamed?" she mid,
turning to the other' children. ?Ellie
might have had a beautiful new doll
chokipg sensation in her throat, and
her doll hugged very tightly to her
head.
"Wo oughtn't to have come here,
you and I, Blanche," she whispered.
"We are the ugly d-ueklings Sister
Clare read to us about."
It was unfortunate that Mrs. Firth
was absent just at this moment, see-
ing that the table was in readiness,
and Daisy was so full of excitement
that she had quite forgotten Ellie.
Presently a little girl approached
her, dressed, Ellie thought, like Cin-
derella ,must have been when the fairy
touched her with her wand (she was
very fond of fairy stories, you• see),
but on her face was an expression of
discontent and pride.
"Let me see your doll!" she said.
Ellie hesitated a moment, then held
it Oh, what a fright!" exclaimed the
child. "And you brought that scare-
crow to try for theprize," and she
laughed long and loud, so long and so
loud that several of the children gath-

"What do you call her?" asked an-
other voice.
"Blanche."
Ellie forced herself to answer, spite
of her quivering lips ,
"Mantilla!" echoed the first speaker,

through her tears. : '

on both cheeks.
The children gathered round as she
opened it; with expressions of awe-
struck delight, as an exquisite doll,in
full ball toilet, was disclosed to view.
Even Bell's French doll was cast in
the shade; but there was no leek of
envy on a single little face, and even
the tears came to many eyes, when

plucked from the soil some tufts of
desert grass and grunted, in his turn,
to show. his pleasure,
That evening as he arrived at a
water' stop, :a deep well under waving
palms, Hamoud discovered that some
other voyagers had just departed. The
tires of the bivouacs still smoked. He
was about to make his . dromedary
kneel when a piercing ',Telco interrupt-
ed the geetufe of kis hand and the or-
der on his lips.
"Save nay life;,0 servant of God, 13e
generous, I' pray you!"
Hamoud looked about him, It was
still daylight; yet he count see no one.
At this' lute hour he was alone be -
site the well,
The voice began again, stili piercing,
but charged with anguish,
"Make haste for the love of God,
and may your name live from genera-
tion to generation."
Then Hamoud leaned forward, for
the voice came ",,om the ground. And
this time he perceived among the
stouee of the bivouac, still covered
with burning pieces of wood, a horned
viper, which thrust desperately to-
ward him its littlewhead, beaded with
black diamond eyes-, As he was a good
NIusselniafr, who respected all ani-
mals as creatures of •God, he did not
hesitate a minute. He suspended on
the end of iris lanceoneof the drome-
dary's empty nosebags and reached
down toward' the serpent, You can
imagine that the latter did not neglect
his opportunity, In less time than it
takes to pronounce the marvelous
phrase: "There is but one God and
Mehemet is His Prophet," the viper
glided into the nosebag and frofn it
along the lance to the neck of his
savior. ---
The latter had' not yet realized' all
the imerudence of his generous im-
pulse when he saw right against his
face, and now so big that he could not
see anything else, the terrible head,
beaded with eyes of black diamond.
e "Alii" cried 'Hamoud, "where are
you going and what do you want to
do?"
And the viper answered with the
same hissing voice in which he had
just now been begging for his life:
"I"am going to kill you."
"Is `that the way. you repay me for
haying saved you from the fire?"
• "In this base world no one is paid
according to his deserts. God will re-
ward you better.'"
"Do you think so?"
"I an sure of it."
"Well, I doubt it. Who will decide
between us?"
"Anybody you wish. And. see, I
wish to be liberal, and I allow you to
asdc three times. But do it,quielc•1y."
Ask whom? Haiiioud looked about
him again. There was nothing under
the sky, gleaming like an immense
sapphire, but, the well, the palm trees
and his dromedary, which; occupied in
chewing something, seemed to be
totally disinterested in his master's
misadventure.
"Hurry up!" repeated the Viper,
tightening his coils,
Then Hamoud called to the well:
"0 conqueror of thirst, what do you
say to such ingratitude? I saved this
serpent and now he claims that he
should ]till me because in this world
good is always rewarded by evil."
A voice as fresh as the laughter of
a young girl rose' from the well:
"The serpent is right. 1 give my
pure water to thirsty travelers- and
whea they go away they throw stones
into my depths and otherwise defile
me."

of eontraete. One
hand will+play well and the next one
badly; that is, on one hand you will get
all the "breaks," and on the next, every-
thing will go wrong. Itis a ganie of such
infinite variety that no player can ever
hope to master all its quirks and turns.
Even the best of players lose their judg-
ment at times and allow their own hand
to influence their bidding to their dis-
advantage when they should realize
that their partner has an unusual or
freak hand, The other alight, the writer
noticed two examples of this failure to
be on the lookout for the unusual or
freak type of hand,
The dealer with the following hand:
Hearts - A, 7
Clubs -A, 9, 4, 2
Diamonds -A Q, J, 8
Spades -A, K, 4
`bid one no trump. Second hand passed
and the dealer'sartner bid two hearts..
Fourth hand'paesed and the dealer bid
two no-trump. When. his partner bid
three hearts,the dealer failed to realize
that if his partner hada j ustifiablethrce
heart bid, they had a sure game in
hearts, and bid three no-trump although
there was no' sure gamein no-trump.
The 100 aces were too much for his
judgment and as a result he went down
three tricks undoubted, a net loss of 50
points on a hand that woeld-have scored
game at hearts. His partner's band was
_as follows;
Hearts - QJ 10,9,6,4
Clubs -Q, 6, 3 '
• Diamonds -10, 9, 7.
Spades- 5
Don't allow 100 aces to impair your
judgment.
The same player made a similar error
on the following hand:.
Hearts-- A, Q, 10
Clubs -none
Hearts -5, 4, 3
Clubs- A, Q,7, 5
Diamonds-, 4
Spades - 8, 7, 5, 2
Diamonds A, Q, 10, 9, 6
Spades , l0 4, 2
p Q.,
1 and passed,second
His partner dealt ri
hand passed: and he bid onspade.
When his partner overbid with two
clubs, he correctly bid two diamonds.
His partner bid three clubs and he bid
three diamonds. This bid is doubtful
but when his partner bid four clubs, he
should certainly have passed. He never
stopped to realize that such bidding by
his partner indicated a most unusual
hand, one of the freak type and that his
high cards in three suits would be of
great help to his partner and that his
partner's clubs would be of little value
to his own hand, if he should obtain the
bid at diamonds or spades. In spite of
all these cogent reasons,' however, he
bid four diamonds and all passed, His
partner's hand was as follows: Hearts -8
Ciube-A, Q, J, 10,9,7,5,4,21
Diamonds-8, 7
Spades - 3
At clubs, they could have made five
odd, losing only one club and one dia-
mond trick; while at diamonds they.
went down two tricks. It is a fine ex-
ample of what not to do with a big
hand. Play for the game, first, last and
all the time, whether the hand is played
by yourself or your partner,.Always'be
willing to concede the bid to your part-
ner when the bidding indicates that he
has a freak hand. In the hand just con-
sidered, the dealer could have saved a
lot of trouble,"by making an original bid
of five clubs.Itis a perfect example of
the preemptive or shut out bid. If the
bid fails, it will certainly save game; so
that, in either event, it is a winner,
As a contrast to his bad bidding, the
player whose bids have just been criti-
cized played the following band very
cleverly:

Hanloud began to worry, He turned
to the palm trees, which rustled in
the evening breeze.
"And you, kindly nourishers of the
traveler, are yon of the sante opin-
ion?".-
The trembling of the branches grew
more precise. Words were wafted to-
ward Hanloud like petals of flowers
dislodged by the breeze, and these
words whispered:
"The well speaks the truth, as the
serpent does. We offer, our shade and
our fruit to Hien. They pay us back
by breaking our branches when they
do not tear u5 out of the ground."
Now Hamoud was afraid, for it re=
rained for hint only to Interrogate his
dromedary, and he ren embered that
he had often,beaten the latter unjust-
ly.
He did put the question, however,
as he was, bound to de or lose his lest
chance,
"Ah!" answered the good beast, "I
am not at all acquainted with the situ-
ation: Just what has happened?"
Hamoud explained how things stood,
a little impatiently.
"All right," said the dromedary, "but
I don't' altogether understand what
you tell me. Show me, both of you,
how it happened and I will compre-
hend beter."
The viper, who had followed the
dialogue attentively, glided into the
feedbag and Hamoud stretched his
lance over the stones where the fire
burned.
Then the dromedary knelt sudden-
ly. The shock made the serpent fall
among the burning rocks and Hamoud,
who was also almost unseated, began
to shout:
"You imbecile, what are you doing?"
But he could hardly help laughing
with joy when he heard the grumbling
voice of the dromedary answer`
"You imbecile, what .lid you do just
now?"

The Taring of Joan.
-' Returning from a sick call on 0 cold
anis rainy night in late epi'iug, the
minister and his wite heard the mew-
ing of a kitten 'behind thole. They
harried on, for there was a cheery fire
in the 'grate and ]rot tea could be
brewed quickly. The kitten followed,
mewing importunately. The Woman's
heart Was 'touched. She turned and
frgm the dark there emerged a hall -
grown cat,,
"Remember," cautioned the minis,
ter, Ile was recalling that they had
often said -there' should be no more -
pets in the parsonage, for he and lits
wife were frequently away from home
and had often to ask the neighbors to
look after the dog or the cat or the
bird, as well as the horse' and' the cow-.;,
The water -soaked' kitten lifted -plead-
Ing: eyes and mewed plaintively.
"If we :don't give it shelter I shall
worry all night."
The dominie capitulated. They took
the cat in and narned it "Joan" be-
cause of its resemblance to a former
"Joan.'
From the first the cat showed her
ingratitude. The: minister's wife went
without cream in her tea so that Joan
mi6ht be fed. The meal over, the kit-
ten curled up on the run to bask in
the warmth of the fire. She hissed
and spat spitefully when the parson's -
wife tried to pick her up. Joan was
now dry and well fed. The parson
was for putting hes in the barn, His
wife protested. Joan was ungrateful;
but the`world had been unkind to her,
They would find her a Irome.
Joan was a beautiful' cat, with a
strain of Angora, and there was 110
trouble in placing her, The very next
day, a ehutdn-lady, hearing of the
kitten, asked for Joan. In her new
home the cat was pampered,' Her one,
mission In life was. to be a pet for her
benefactress -but she failed in her
mission. She preferred a cushion on
a certain rocker as her resting place,
and, although that was the shut-in
lady's favorite seat, she gave it up to
the cat. Nor did the cat's disposition
improve on kindness. If her mistress
attempted to stroke her, she would put
her tail up and stalk off in a dudgeon.
Yet she was so beautiful that the snit- -
In lady would not part with her.
Then came the catastrophe that
changed Joan's disposition, In a box
in the cellar the cat was rearing a
family of five kittens. The blow fell
unexpectedly. Coal gas from the cel-
lar furnace asphyxiated the kittens
while Joan was mincing eves' her din-
ner of fish in the kitchen. All that af-
ternoon Joan mewed disconsolately,
going from room to room, You can
imagine the surprise of the shut -In
lady when Joan that evening sprang
into her lap and almost begged for a
ceress. That night the cat slept on
the woman's coverlet. Next day she
frequently pumped into her mistress's
lap and purredhercontentment at be-
ing petted,
Joan died at a good old age; but she
never reverted to her spirit of dis•
dainful arrogance, To the very, end
she was a friendly and Iovable: pet,
And the minister had found, a quaint
illustration for the text, "By sorrow of
the heart the spirit is broken."

Clear the Air!
Hundreds of articles have been writ-
ten dealing with the manifold prob-
lems of married life, but few writers
have had the courage to advocate the
wholesome, clear•the-air effect of an
occasional quarrel. The idea, so cone
pletely at variance with the customary
recipes for ensuring matrimonial hap-
piness, may startle you.
What is. a "quarrel," after all, but
just "having it out?" The "it" is the
brooded -over grievance; the suspicion
you've nursed; the wrong, real cel
imaginary, that you've kept to your-
self. Are not these things better
"out?"
The attitude of sallen and silent re-
sentfulness is far more likely to wreck
married happiness than an outspoken
declaration of things r' entad, Have
then. out!
Has not many a husband said to his
wife, "What on earth is the natter?"
and got the reply, "Nothing;" .She
prefers to hoard her grievance instead
of bringing it out. A quarrel -an .;ex-
change of facts, arguments, andex-
planations-would have cleared the
air, and as likely as not ended in
kisses,
If your once friendly neighbor
ceases to speak to you, and you don't
know why, yott go to him to "have it
out." A trifle of verbal sparring may
follow, and then "out" 'comes his
grievance,
Ief It is let your creation, you will of
course end it. Peace_. will be re-estab-
lished. But if you hadn't gone to
"have it out" with your neighbor, and
he had nursed his grievance and said
nothing, what then?
A have -it -out quarrel-not,,,of course
of rho bitter or violent sort -is like a
short and sharp thunderstorm that
clears the air, dispels the oppressive -
noes, and reveals the blue sky. So, if
a "quarrel" doesn't appeal 10 you, have
a thunderstorm! ,

IIe shall never be alone
Who is brother to a stone;
Who is sister to a tree
Shall have pleasant company.
He shall wait with holy pride
Who has made a field his bride;
Who has scatteredseeds afar
Shall hold conversewith a star.
-Vivian Yeiser Laratnoro.
Truth 'is a torch that casts light.
through a fag, without being able
wholly to dissipate it•
