In her frenzy site had not heard the
door open. Spent with anguish, slie
laid her bead against Davey's still
one. She felt rather then, saw that
someone was there in the hut behind
her. She turned. Conal was standing
'in the doorway.
She stared at him.' He might have
been an apparition, so etiaxn'ge he look-

was something stricken, aghast, about

gether, and how we used to trot Lass
eIup the hillsides to make her poor old
sides go like bellows, and you showed
me how to blow birds' eggs, and Joss
said I wasn't a little lady to blow
birds' eggs."
Her voice ran on with a brooklitce
tenderness.
"If you'd come ,back, we could have
all those times again, Davey," she
whispered, looking down into hes face
beneath hers.
Just when there was the faintest
shimmer of dawn in the dim windows,
a fluttering ,breath caught her face.
She put the spirit to his lips again.
So, chafing his hands and calling him,
with tearful and eager little cries, she
led him as a mother leads a child just
learning -to walk, from the valley of
the shadows.
Davey openet his eyes. They dwelt
on her with a deep, serene gaze. She
smiled and went on crooning to him,
half singing, half sighing that bewail -
Ong little melody of tenderness and
entreaty. Warmth came 'back to hint.
His breath fell regularly and sweetly.
Deirdre took the sheepskins out of the
bunk and put theta under him on the
floor.
I He slept. A faint smile on his
!mouth, his hand sought hers, the fin-
gers curled round it. .She sat watch-
ing him, a mist of awe and, joy and
thankfulnes's gathering in her oyes,
beeause it seemed to her that a mir-
acle had been accomplished that night
in Narrow Valley hut.

!tumble, awkward air about him.
That it was Davey lay there dead

of Deirdre he was thinking in a mazed,
dazed way, and the thing she hall
;said to hint.
"You've done what no woman could
'forgive you, Conal." A vibrating pas-
sion had come to her voice. "I never
want to see you again as long as I
Iive."
Conal stared at her a moment; then
he -swung heavily out of the hut into
the yard. Ile had the gait of a
drunken man. She heard him stumble
over something in the yard, strike his
head against a post. Then the sound
of his 'horse's hoof -beats in the clear-
ing died.
Deirdre looked down at the still
figure 'beside her. In spite of what she
had said she could not believe that
Davey was dead -that all that young,
strong body would not move again,
that Davey's eyes would not open and
look at her with the eager, question-
ing glance she had known. Something
-of the horror of his stillness had pass-
ed; she moistened his lips with the,
spirit. Puttingher arms round him
she gathered him up against her, put
his head on her bosom and leaned over
crooning softly, a -s though he
were asleep. She beguiled herself by
saying that he was only asleep and
would waken presently.
"What a long time it is," she mur-
inured. "Do you remember, Davey

Tips to Canna Growers.
My Cannes nsalee much more beau-
tiful plants if I start them early. The
bulhs do best if they aro growing well
before being -set out. . They are heat
lovers., end will not grow to amount
to anything if planted while the soil
is cold. If started in pots or flats and
allowed to get'' a good start they will
make blooming plants just that much
sooner. A canna clump is increasing
in size all the -time while growing.
Each flowering stalk sends out two
side shoots, with eyes at their end., as
soon as the parent shoot is well
launched on its way, so this increase
in size is pretty rapid. Themore of
these side shoots I can get to bloom-
ing 'size the more flowers I have. The
plant will keep on sending up bloom-
ing stalks and forming new eyes until
frost stops it. It follows that eves
a little start ahead of the time you
can get the bulhs to grow outside,
which is not earlier than you plant the
started plants, will make your canvas
much more effective during the whole
blooming season. It is not that it
makes them a little earlier, but that
it makes them corre'spondingly'more
beautiful for the thole summer after
they begin blooming.
Canvas are so hardy and so easy to
start and 'transplant that you do not
have to pamper them any, I have

'Have you over thought how w ie first
snot the,Se 'wonderful' stories:, thataro
shown on the etago--"Mother Coesb,"
"Hunxp'ty Dumpty," "Jack Horner,',
and all the rest of them?
Many af.them are entirelytande:11,
but others,are supposed to be based on
things tbat•'realliyhappened, and tradi-
tion in many cases pointe Cut,the opots
where these legends took Place,
A nsuxiher of you will have seen the
stone en Highgaite Hill, marking the
spot where.Dick Whittington sat and
heard the 'bells of Ironton town sing
"Tarn again, Whltttagtron,-thrice May-
or of London Town;," I3nt tire cui'icue
thing is that the Sir Richard Whitting-
ton who is supposed to have been the
original "Dick" was foul•- times Lord
Mayor, and, as far se is known, never
had a' cat..
The Real Robin Hood.
Same of you will perhaps have visit-
ed Kirkless. Hall, near 'poncatster,
where that:far0ns hero of.•p•antomisne,
Robin. Hood, is said to have been bled
to death by a faithle0 nun, and near
by you, will, perhaps, have seen the,
grave where, according to tradition,
the, famous, optlaw le buried..
The exact short was, of course,
chosen by an arrow shot from the near,
by I1a11 when Robin realized that he
was dying. There are people, how-
ever, - who scoff,- and,s•ay an. arrow
could not posibly have been shot so
great a distance, but, nevertheless, the
matter has been never properly set-
tled either way. As- an epitaph form-
erly on the grave said:—
" here underneath this little stone
Lies Robert, Earl of Huntington,-
No
untington;No archer was as he so good,
And people caked him Robin Hood,"
Another famous pantomime hero is
Robinson Crewe, and perhaps his tale
is ars closely founded on fact .as any
of the Christmas stage stories.
The original Crusoo was named
Alexander Selkirk, and it was -whilst-
serving as a sailing master that he'
committed some breach of the ship's
regulations, for which the captaiiii put
him ashore on the island of Juan Fer-
nandez, off the Chilton coast, and left
him to his ,fate, There he remained
live years, until he was rescued by a
Captain Rogers and brought back to•
England.
"Mother Goose" is another panto-
mime with a good deal of truth be-
hind it. There once lived in Boston a
widow who had six children. In time
she married Isaac Goose,,a.man with
ten children. Witif so many children,
else, of course, "didn't know what to
do," hence the rhyme and the weld -
known pantomime.
"Jack Horner' is reputed to have.
lived in the reign of Henry VIII. At
that time a certain abbot wished• to
send -the title deeds of (mane property
to the King.
As In thoee days, however, the roads
were infested with robbers, the deeds,
wale hidden in a huge pie, which was .
entrusted to John Horner. Bat, des,
pita this care, the deeds never reached
the King, for, as you know; Jack
Horner: •
—
"Put In a thumb '
And pulled out a plumb (tire title
deeds),
And said, 'What a good boy am I.'
In support of this story it is inter-
esting to know that the estate to
which the stolen title deeds were said
to refer is still owned by a family
called Horner. Unfortunately, how-
ever, they say that their estate was
bought from Henry VIII., and that
there never wan each a pie ea des.
oribed in the story. So what are we
to believe? `
Watch Your Lips.
It is the custom to judge the char-
acter of persons witch, whom one come
in contact by looking closely at their
eyes and thestraightness, or other-
wise, of their glances.
Few people realize the importance
of the lips as a guide to character.
Husband -seekers should beware of a
tendency to let the corners of bba
mouth -droop--nothing warns a man
of a worrying., grizzling temperament
more than that, Yet to much of an up-
ward curve denotes frivolity,
Very red, this lips denote cruelty;
ttnunderlie/ wblph has too full an out-
ward roll denotes lack of conscience;
w1'Ile when a: mouth is long and thin,
with the; line between the lips clear
out and•f1rm, its.gwner is usnaily mor-
bid, selfish, anii±i'lomanating, ;>
The happy medium in mouths should
have straight Ilea; hot too •bb'ia, but oz:
symmetrical fullness and with a slight
upward inclination at the corners to
denote ' meriemen•t. Should this up-
ward curve be ready to dimple deeply
011 provocation, thisdenotes'a gnlck
power of repartee and a ready but not
malicious love of ridicule.,-::
