Clarke i ~~] It is surprising the- things one: can find to do around the house in stormy weather, For instance, last week Partner and I got our- selves a job of real hard work, lasting for two whole days. It was no less "than wrecking: our old square piano. A black piano that had long since become a white elephant. There was no other way of getting rid of it. It wasn't worth 'giving away; no junk dealer would take it in its entirety; its case was of no particular value and none of could be used for re- pair work on any other type of piano, x x This piano, you may remember, occupied .a big corner of the room we moved into when "we went "south". So imagine the state of our bedroom for two whole days. Almost the first thing Partner did was to unstring the instrument. Have you ever examined the works of a piano? Have you noticed how taut are the wires and how edch one is tightly twisted around an iron peg? Those pegs had to be turned by brute force to release the strings--and Partner's hans are still sore from the struggle. + % x * My job was dissecting the key- board and in so doing I made several discoveries..

Jesus never sends one away empty, and asked the disciples to give them to eat. Humanly speaking this was impossible, for they only had a meagre lunch, With God all things are possible. "He commanded the people to sit down on the grass. When every- thing was in order Jesus returned thanks for the food, and com- menced to break it for his disciples | the hungry to distribute among 'followers. They did eat" and were They found as we find today, that not only does Jesus save, but he satisfies, After all had eaten, the fragments gathered up were suffi- "clent to fill twelve baskets.

"It's not transfer- able; a friend gave it to me long ago. Besides, it's unlucky; you needn't covet in!" His sharpness alarmed her; she peeped at him as they parted to pass through a crowd at the corner, He looked at her shrewdly and knew he had frightened her. © "I'm sorry," he said, more con- siderdkely, 'ask something else, Pam.

She was angry -- the blood rushed up to her hair. "Do you mean you don't like his looks?" she asked after a moment He turned quickly; he had appar- ently forgotten her, "I meant noth- ing of the kind," he replied briefly, "he's extraordinarily like a man I knew once -- in profile, that's all. But you say Landon brought him, and he's a Byram?" "That's what he's called," she was .ill at case. Fosdick's horrid stare came back to: her. "Whom does he look like, Uncle?"
