cer tain branches of farming and was knovn as an authority at least so my friend said you seem to know move about my father than i do myself said jill she had maintained a frigid atti tude somewhat agains her instinct she had begun to like- baibour and felt that they had something in com mon but tell me now just what it is that you want well 1 really wanted your permis sion to look through some of the pap ers and documents concerning this jlacc and your request but i assure you miss merridew that i am only- asking a permission which i have generally found readily granted else where these old

been through everything yourself everything laughed jill why i would take me ages you have no idea what jumbles of papers there are in this old place ah exclaimed barbour then there is all the more possibility of my discovering gems of family history for the benefit of yourself and all interest ed in these things it is too late now for mo to expect to be shown anything tonight jill glanced at one of the two grand father clocks in the ro m it was not late but she replied im afraid it is and anyhow i dont think i have yet said that i am going to let you see any papers something in her mind a kind of native caution told her that there was more in barbours request than ap peared on the surface barbour how ever was inwardly pleased with the progress he had made there was one paper which he wished to see and he had every reason to think it was among old jasper merridews docu ments he must not he told himself be precipitate very well miss merridew he said quietly i will not trouble you fur ther thank you answered jill not too pleased with his sudden relinguish- ment of his request she felt that having got to know barbour better she might enjoy further conversation on other topics her rural loneliness appeared vividly to her in the presence of another intellect barbours eyes had strayed to an old painting on the wall depicting coatofarms your family coatofarms he asked yes one of them replied jill why have you two we may have ton for all i know lid jill but that is the one we have always regarded as our familys i unearthed another one shortly after ny fathers death tooled on a piece of leather evidently the back of a book and what makes you thinkit is connected with your family barbour asked jill as in truth tired for the day had provided her with unaccustomed excitement she was but she did not know it suffering some reaction after her quarrel with mark therefore she was glad for barbour to go now that she was tolerably certain to see him again after she had bade her visitor good night jill returned to the room in which the conversation had taken place a sudden feeling of weariness came over her raising her arms high above her head she stretched her young body as though awaiting a yawn which did not come a sculptor had he seen her at that moment would hac found inspiration jill awoke next morning to hear a pitiless rain beating upon her window it was six oclock her usual time for rising already she eoild hear the bustle of the farm beginning the heavy clatter of mens boots in the cobbled farmyard the melodious clang ing of milk pails scraps of jocular conersation and among it all the voice of mark hanson jill began to dress forthwith she was not eager to meet mark but it t ad to be faced and she decided to face it at once she tried to plan what she should say to him but eventually re solved to leave it to the guidance of her eelings at the moment dressed she went to the window fiom which sha had watched the cidermaking as was her wont each day to see that all went well she caught sight of the hatless figure of mark just as he looked up at the win dow he gave her a serious gesture of recognition as he disappeared into one of the cow houses jill laughed to herself though she did not know quite why going downstairs sh partook of her first breakfast which consisted of a thick slice of bread and butter each made on the farm and tea the men or those of them who lived there or took meals there had already break fasted in the big kitchen at the rear of the farm as is freqient in manor ial farms there was a special wing devoted to the farm hands and some half dozen unmarried lived on the premises a second breakfast consisting more cften than not of cold fat bacon home- cured and uncommonly good would be served at nine oclock presently jill went into the farm yard where the cidermaking was again in progress she called mark hanson oer to her well have our own ciderpress next j ear with luck she said i hope so miss replied mark in a subdued tone jill did not fail to note the omission ot her christian name when he spoke for a moment they stood there each looking into the others face each wondering what would be the next m ve it was jill who spoke first hanson i want to thank you for what you did last night she said i was a fool to try to get billy wil liam into his pen becausi i know you are the only man who can manage him it was nothing miss replied mark it was just lucky that i came along at the right time i dont know that there was so much luck about it said jill i have a suspicion that you came along on purpose and for goodness sake stop calling me miss now tell me hon- o y didnt you come specially to see that billy william didnt hurt me well it did occur to me that you might be having difficulty and there i knew it and i want to say thank you again and i want also to say that i did not mean to be so horrid to you yesterday but you see i was annoyed that you should have been so so rude to a

realities had ham pered his imagination his gift in picturing reality chekov l replied i never heard of him said he because there are two spearheads our gate especially when he showed that he knew something of my father it was because of that that i wished you to find him see i see said mark im sorry i was unable to find him for you all right then said jill wc will say no more about it mark never before had jill addressed him by his christian name and her use of it now sent a thrill coursing through him his serious face relaxed into a smile as he left her to return to his work jill saw it and was satisfied she had used the name for a dual purpose she was so reliant on mark that the thought of running the farm without him appnllewr she had sense enough to kskf that in spite of all her businesslike ways it was mark who was really in charge when he came to her with a suggestion and she approved in a semiregal manner and possibly took the credit for it later on she knew exactly where the credit lay her second purpose was a more sen timental one she had grown to like mark for himself he had a humor which she could appreciate though she had not encountered much of it lately the rea son being had she known it that mark had come to be depressed in her in the corner like those on that paint ing on the wall this mention of another coat-of- arms barbour regarded as providential he was not actually interested in her aldry but had acquired a superficial knowledge of it for a purpose of his own thats very interesting he said no doubt you would like to know n ore about it if so my services are at your disposal if you will permit me to take a few details of it i will look it up at the college of heralds and see what i can make of it barbour was fortunate in knowing a dissolute antique dealer in london who had once made a study of herald ry for a few shillings he could get a more or less expert opinion so that his offer to jill was not entirely an empty one jill was only mildly curious about the coatofarms but she felt willing to let him make enquiries subcon sciously she wished to see barbour again that is very kind of you she said i shall be very interested the kindness is ail on your side responded barbour but i must not trouble you more tonight perhaps you will allow me to call again during the next few days behaviour of boys subject of

the opinions of others and this is only possible through the understanding and coop eration of parents and teachers these are the basic principles in the shaping of childrens characters stat ed taylor statton of toronto direc tor of child character education pick ering college newmarket mr stat- ten speaking recently in montreal special study of child character by permitting the child to hear his faults discussed by companions was advo cated by the educationist we are satisfied that every child has a feel ing of inadequacy he declared and his life doctrine is worked out on the basis of that feeling it is an infan tile misconception which sometimes springs from the parents and we have the problem of analyzing to de termine in what direction his feeling of inadequacy lies there are five basic urges in chil dren mr statten said as recognition experience affection power and se curity the child desires recognition and if he does not get this in a way to benefit his character he will acquire something leading into trouble every normal child requires a constantly changing experience to produce a healthy mental state and affection is vital to children by par ents if bonds are to be maintained desire for power latent in every nor mal child very often leads to a wrong place in life he explained the security of the home mr statten con- eluded also exerts a vital influence on boys

before a local justice of the peace who dismissed the complaint the native now swore out a warrant against the violinist and dogberry on the spot fined him s25 and costs what for adds russell oh for
