He went crazy mad, because Harry wouldnt say he was sorry or anything, an' he swung that shinny stick he was holdin' an' gave Harry the most unmerciful beatin' a boy ever had. "Harry just stood" there lookin' at him. He didn't say a word, an' he didn't try to get out of the way. He just stood there an' took it. "It was terrible, Rand. Finally Harry just fell to the floor, an' my brother, sick at the stomach at the awful sight, ran out an' grabbed the stick out of Thaddeus Rand's hand. "Thaddeus takes a look at your father lyin' there on the floor an' he says to him, 'Get out of my house an' don't come back." Then he walked out of the back of the store.

As soon as he had sold his business he left town. But first he went around to call on old Angelo Real. "I'm sorry,' he says to Angelo, 'for what I said to you. I hope yov'll for- give me. "So Angelo shook hands with him. Thaddeus Rand left town that night an', just like your father, ke dropped completely out of sight, as far as the felks of Durbin were concerned." "And that's all?" Jimmy's face was, still very white. "That's all, lad. a word from either one of them. Your father was proud, too." "Yes, he was . . . poor dad." Jim- my stood up. "And Marie Real? What became of her?" "Oh, Marie. You see, old Angelo had ambitions for her to become an opera singer. He spent money on her voice, an' she did have a pretty good one. She graduated from high school an' then she went away to take vocal lessons somewhere. I think she did go on the stage, or become a concert singer or something. Nobody got to know very much about it, because An- gelo moved away shortly after she graduated from high school." Jimmy glanced at his watch. "I didn't know it was so late. It's after eleven. We've been talking here for three hours. I'm sorry, keeping you like this." "Why? You know I'm a night owl anyway." "Well, thank you. You've told me more about my father than I knew myself. I think I can understand why he was always silent about his boy- howd days. . . . The recollection of them must have been bitter." Jimmy stuck out his hand. night, lieutenant.

You see everybody was in sym- pathy with the son. He hung around his store, pale an' silent. Everybody knew he was waitin' for Harry to come back, or maybe for a letter from him. But none ever came to the post- | office. The postmaster had his eyes open--you can be sure of that, Thaddeus must have remained in Durbin for another six months. Fin- ally it got too much for him. He could feel the town's hostility on every side of him. People refused to some to his store. They wouldn't speak to him when they saw him on the street. If you've ever lived in a small town, Rand, you'll know what a terrible thing it is to be boycotted like that. "Finally he found a man who was willin' to buy his drug store.

For a Fern Stand We recently saw an attractive fern stand, and upon examining it, we found it was simply a length of clay pipe--the light biscuit-colored kind that is used for outlets and drainage purposes! Being larger at the end of the length, where the joint would be made with another piece of pipe, it had a good firm base. With a large potted fern on top it made a most pleasing pedestal stand. So when construction work is be- ing done about a home or for street work, you might save "the pieces" and place your potted plants upon them--for porch or indoor decora- tion. --yis He (with hands over her eyes): "If you can't guess who it is in three guesses, I'm going to kiss you."

Canada Burmese Consider Animals As, Children A very charming book about "Bur- mah and the Burmese," has been writ- ten by G. H. Fielding, and is publish- ed by Bentley and Son (England), which shows the habits of the Bur- mese in a very attractive light. The author says: "There are no dark places in the lives of the Burmese, as there are in the lives of other Orient- als. All is open as the light of day in their lives, and their religion and their women are the freest in the world," He also states that the Bur- mese treat animals as a father would little children who are very stupid or troublesome, but who are lovable. The Burmese look upon humanity as the highest virtue. The author asks: "Do you think that a Burmese boy would be allowed to rob birds' nests, or to worry rats, or to go ferreting? Not so; they would be crimes." In many jungle-villages there are deer-hunters, but they are disgraced men, and (according to the Burmese belief) will have a terrible penalty to pay for it all, and it will take much suffering to wash from their souls the cruelty, the blood-thirst, the careless- ness to suffering, and the absence of compassion regarding the pain they in- flict by their hunting. They ask: "Is there no food in the bazaar (their market) that you must take life?" Mr. Fielding states that these merel-| of ful people build sparrow- cotes in the villages, and when he shot some spar rows that built about his rooms and if he had built a sparrow cote the birds would have used it and not have troubled him. Mr. Fielding justly says: "If you ar kind to animals you | will be kind to your fellowmen."--Our Dumb Animals, An Symbols Taller than falry towers On far pictorial hills, Slender and straight as pine trees Adorning them.

More Scientific Cooking of Yesterday May Have Been Tastier But Shortened Life Span, Instructor Claims Althcugh the 'young woman who: now occupies the kitchenette may not. be as good-a cook as was her grand. mother, her knowledge of nutrition and dietetics is lengthening the span tof hum: = life, according to Mrs. Freda. J. Winning, instructor or home econo- mics at New York University. Mrs. Vinning's observations on past. and present day cooks were given co- incident with an announcement that during the second semester's courses in. home economics at the New York Uni: versity School of Educaion, stress will be placed on the study of the nutritive requirements of the individual. "A generation or two ago little thought was given, to the nutritive needs of the various members of the family,' said Mrs. Winning. "Usually the entire family, including the baby, shared the common fare which was prepared for th~ needs and tastes of the hard-working father. His break- fast, dinner and supper consisted of fried meat, frie. and boiled potatoes and unfortunately that limited diet was the diet of the whole family. On Sundays the average family gorged. "During the past twenty or twenty- five years we have learned much of' nutritioz and diet. We know to-day that persons of different ages require different foods and that different in- dividuals of the same age have a wide: variety of food requirements. Often persons of the same age are far apart in the amount of food required or im the number of times a day that they require nourishment. 'Those of us in the educational field who are in a position to know of the advantages which the modern house- wives have in cookery feel that she is far more competent to intelligently feed her family than was her grand- mother." O08 ee World Has No Heart of Gold According to the latest informa- tion, its core is formed of metallic iron with a little nickel. This conclusion, g:inerally accept- ed among scientists, dashes specula- tion which has persisted to recent years that the earth, because it is heaviest at the center, has a heart of gold, says Science Service's Daily Science News Bulletin (Washington). It goes on: "While not troubling to contradict the Jules Verne conception of fabul- ous wealth unatteinably hidden in the middle of the globe, Dr. L. H. Adams of the Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington tacitly refutes any golden dreams of the earth's Intericr in a report to the Engineering Foundation. "This earth is made up almost en- tirely of four elements, iron, magne- sium, silicon, and oxygen, Dr. Adams says. And the remaining eighty eight elements (including gold, silver and platinum) are confined to the thin film called the crust. "Directly beneath the relatively thin layer of sedimentary rocks at the surface, there is a first layer of granite ten miles thick; below that a twenty mile layer of basaltic rock. Two thousand miles of peridotite rock (consisting of iron magnesium silicate) come next, while the central core of 4,000 miles diameter is form- ed of metallic iron with a little nickel. "Earthquake waves yielded the im- portant. key to the secret of the earth's composition." la Why Sea Water is Blue The color is due to copper, thinks a German chemist. The azure hue, he believes, is caused by the presence of dissolved copper compounds, which have this color, as in the well-known blue vitriol or cop- per sulfate. 3 The chemist's name is Richard Will- statter, and his findings are announced by a correspondent of the American Chemical Society in a press bulletin issued by that body (New York). We read: ; "The color of sea water was dis- cussed by Willstatter and Fritz Haber on a trip to the Canary Islands. Haber, who developed synthetic ammonia, up- on which Germany based its war plans, and who is not infrequently described as the greatest of living Germans, pre- ferred the physical explanation that the color is evident because of the great depth of the water. "Willstatter contended that the blue, which is visible even in such a thin layer as in a bathtub, is due to com- plex copper compounds of the nature of cupri-amino salts. *" "The conditions for their formation are present,' he explained, 'because of the known content of copper in sea water and the formation of ammonia, and especially of organic amino-com- | pounds as a result of the decomposi- tion of protein." 7 KEYIYIL First Boa - Constrictor -- "Whadja swallow that dog for?
