choke in her throat she hung up tho receiver it was not missing tho game that hurt her qf course this was merely the culmination of many little pin pricks of neglect on the part of her eon hvr first impulse was to take off the pretty gray gown but instead she took her knitting and settling herself in the breesy corner of the verandjk tried with nimble angers to- quiet ber heartache meanwhile parke divided between relief and remorse hurried through his last recitation and met jim wake ly at the garage in a cow minutes the two were off on their jaunt it was twenty minutes ride 001 to camp

hfgh- school believed the littlo old achoolhouse ought to be introduced to their parents or their par nl should bo introduced to the nchsol house so they planned and carried through a neighborhood social they called it thtrt without tti fiaicy frills the program of music and literary features wss arranged and put on by the young people themselves ami through the hard work of a rustling committee they made jure that every body in the district got an invltaton and made a promise to attend this neighborhood social was held be tween thanksgiving and chrlstt tax and easily opened the way foi a num ber of similar happy events during tho winter of socials and iartles and meetings lectures and entertainments in truth it developed into what be came known us the neighborhood clubv whlob

each month this being in charge of d church organisation inthe county seat that was interested through the efforts of the young people there were some the directors of tho district board among them who declared that this frequent using of the school house would wear it out that the desks would be marred and the equipment injured rather than this the equipment and furniture of the achoolhouse has been much improved the mothers and fathers by going to the little schoalhouso more often were led to see how poor and inadequate were the tools with which tho hard working teacher and tho pupils were struggling so the board was urged to install better desks put in better blackboards and get many things that long bad been needed a better road now leads from the main highway to tho little school bouse on tho knoll and that road h much travelled our folks havo found it a more convenient meeting place then the county seat it has becom the throbbing pulsating heartcentre of tho neighborhood the

to dennis h stovatt straighten op im afraid youre not qulto tall enough said tho merchant i want a boy who is a littlo hlgger oh remonstrated tho boy eagerly but im a good deal bigger whon stand up straight heel and ho drew himsoff up to his full height thats better commented the man approvingly if you would alwnyu stand llks that you might do hut why do you stoop so 7 why don t yon stand slralnlrtt i donla know the boy roplled hesitatingly i suppose its just a habit ive gft into a hnlltl humph its a pretty poor habit youi g man and youd bet ter tfy to break away from it uh soon as possible let ma tell you three things the first ls the world isnt waiting to hand otft vuccess to any man who desnt make himself as big un he can w i don t mean that he u to bo conceited but that ha must stretch himself up to his utmost cu pu rity and try to flit us largo a plure as possible the second is that a man is ulwaya biggest when ho is strulghtest htoop- lng makes him little and insignificant n if you know how much better you look with your shoulders thrown back and your hood up youd never lot your self fall into your slouchy gal again and this is just as true in a moral sense as it is in a physical lot pooplo dont bellevo it they are trying to be ig and successful and prosperous by stooping a little to mean tricks and underhanded ways but dont lot them fool you htralglitn in thu real bigness the straightor you live tho bigger you are and the third thing is this you say you stoop because youvo got into the habit of it well standing and living straight la just as much a mat ter of habit as standing or living crooked is it is something that comes with practice and hard practice too youve got to get into the way of doing it by doing it i suppose that most young men think its a god thing and a desirable thing and they wish thoy might do it and they mean to do it after a fashion hut tho troublo li thoy dont begin thoy ore wait in j for soma kind of a miracle to como along and straighten them out all at once and keep them straight hut it isnt done that way youvo got to begin this minute with the first thing you coma ta and be straight in that and to keep right at it all the tlmn until it gets to be a eocond nature ther he continued with a whim sical laugh ive preached ynu a little sermon out nf church ill lcjrva you to make the application of
