"Do you like being there?" she ended. "Well enough. I‘m fond of children and Krishn is an attractive little felâ€" low." "Shall you stay there long?" "That‘s impossible to say.

"I‘m sure it wculd be better not Don‘t you see, he would be bound to take action if you did; he couldn‘t hush it up." "So did I; that‘s why I came " Leoâ€" nie spoke care‘sssly,.

"I don‘t know," Chrissie said, then took csurage suddenly, clenchng her fists and speaking rapidly, "Leonie, do you and Ranny cars for each other?" For a moment there was silence; then Leon‘» spoke in changed tones. Lsonie watched the pony cart jingle away befcre mounting herself, and her look was grim. "I seeâ€"yes. Perhaps you‘re right,." Chrissie looked troubled. "But I must tell Ranny about it." "You poor child,â€"so that‘s what you thought? â€" But you‘re wrong, Chrissgie. If anything, he dislikes me." The swift darkness fell: in her pale primrose dress she was a faintly lJumâ€" inous figure in the shadows. Through the open windows came the nigh?t scents of the garden. Suddenly a step sounded on the verâ€" anda and Chrissie, recognizing it, paused in midâ€"chord. Ranny! Withâ€" out turning her head, she was consâ€" cious of her husband standing‘ just inâ€" side the nearest window, sawâ€"him sink down upon a low divan. He was hardly visible there, beside the dark obloaong of the shadow, through which black trees showed against the dim night sky. EVENING LOVE SONG She remained with hands just restâ€" ing on the keys, head bent, pulses throbbing wildly to the words which she had just been singing. Was it chance that he had come just then . . . or opportunity? With no time to plan. inspiration seized upon and shook her, forced her to act, and to act without further hesitation, without putting any questions to that dark figurm He was there, he was listening . . . he shculd hegr ... And against that background of quict sound, her voice rose, clear, as one who repeats and answers a question. How do I love thee . .. ? Let me count the ways . .. Something like a sharply indrawn breath came from the shadows, bu*t the sing:r did not pause, dared not pause. Her voice rose, sweet and steadfasi, carrying up the sustained phrase on the wings of a lovely rising rhythm. "I‘m boring you frightfully, I expact," she broke off, waited for the muttered "Noâ€"don‘t mind me," which gave so little >ncouragement. _"And, dear Gcod, please let him unâ€" derstand . . . " Chrisie prayed, as he: fingers began to move, paying very softly, very tenderly, a rippling preâ€" lude which fell like silver drops througn the silence. During the forlorn days which folâ€" lowed, music became more and more her only comfort and means of: exâ€" pression. She sat for hours at the plano, playing scraps of Mozart or Beethoven for herself, or trying to speak to Ranny, wherever he might be, through Chopin or the Liebestraum," or the music she composed herself, spun from her very heartsrings, as she felt sometimes. Once or twi_e, hre actually sat down, seemed to be listening, and Chrissic played on for a while until selfâ€"consâ€" clouness had her pause and speak. A pause, chord, then, very softiy and tenderiy, dwelling on the syllables as though in remeimbrance of past moments, calling up homely, peacefu! pictures: / "I love thee to the level of every day‘s Most quiet need, by sun and by For it Ranny didn‘t want her, if he‘d rather she went away what was the use of holding on? Once she said, with abrupt shyness. "shall I go on piaying?" to which Struâ€" an answered: "Oh, please dont bo:her on my account!" so that she sat for long minutes, silent, motionless, tears burning her eyes. There came an evening, about a week after that adventiure at the aerodrcme which she tried for Ranny‘s sake, to wipe out of memory, when Chrissie was absorbed in her latest composition, playing it over softly, singing under her breath. And, slight and uncertain though the bond might be, Chrissie felt sometim(s as though music still made a tie beâ€" tween herself and her husband. She ared not strain anything so frail, a touch might break it, but now and then, it seemed there, a gossamer thread floating in air, rather than joinmg them. She would hear his step en the verâ€" anda when she was playing, feel that he listenedâ€"feel it through every nerve in her body, cease playing, mosgy likely, for fear h: mizht be waiting impatiently to siy something. candlelight." Chrissie‘s voice broke on an indrawn breath that was almost a sob.

But nowâ€"now . . . could she put ii all that glowing, rising passion of Jove into the music which had seemed to come from her very soul through to her fingersâ€"could she make him feel it too? Would her voice be steady enough? Suddenly she found herseif I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears of all my life!â€"and, i: ~ _~_ God choose, I shall but lowv» thee better after death‘ . The last words rang through the dim room, died into the silence. And stil. Chrissie sat there motioniless, her hands pressed <down lupon the keys almost convulsively, her body strung, tense as a drawn bow. There was a stir, a movement, stumâ€" bling. awkward. and Struan was beside er name again. "You really love me stillâ€"like that . .. in spite of aliâ€" everything?" "I love you . . . like that; as I shall always love youâ€"â€"as I‘ve always wanted to tell you that I love ycuâ€"only someâ€" how I couldn‘t."

Fitting Feet For Life One of the helpful things that was learred ~during the examination of reâ€" cHuits for cverseas service was the imâ€" portance of having normal feetâ€"fme from pain, and discomfort. One may have brains and ambition, but to be unable to be about among others beâ€" cause of painful feet not only interâ€" feres with business and social progress but the constant nagginz of the nerves affects the general health and happlâ€" ness of the individual. As most of these were young men who ‘were presenting themselves for service, it can be seen that their foot crfects were not due to any heavy work that was being placed upon them but because as little children and later as growing boys in their teens, proper footwzear was not provided by their loving cr thoughtless parents; the narrow ‘trim‘ shoe for growing boys and girls did not:â€" allow the proper width for the growing feet.

The sagas "dealing with these foll: relate that Norsemen sailing west from Gresn‘and discovered a country which can ~have been nothing elss than America. â€" These Saga of Erik the Red tells how theâ€"former‘s son, Leif Erikson, in the year 1000 A.D., sailed from Cape Farewell westward with a party of coiâ€" onists and reached a country called Winelandâ€"which may have been Nova Scotia. After wintering there they returned to Greenland with a load af timberâ€"there being nothing but low bushes in the latter coun‘sy. The sagas go on to tell how an Is‘ander, Karsfeni, and 160 colonists, in the year 1003, â€"wintered in Wineland, but left because of the hostility of natives (Inâ€" dians). Altogether five Norse sailings toâ€"Wineland are recorded in the sagas â€"the last in 1347. One wonders why the Norsemen did not settle permanentâ€" ly in Winsland, which mlust have been a far better country than Greenland. History records the fact that Erik the Red, a Viking chief from Island, which itself had not long been settled from Scandinavia, arrived in southein Greenland in 986 AD. and established the first Norse colonies. These colonâ€" les ultimately contained eight churches and about 100 farmsteads. Christianity was generally adopted by the Greenâ€" land settlers in the eleventh century, and they numbered at one time about 9,000 people. Navigation of those icy seas was a perilous task for the primitive ships of the middle ages and sometimes ships did not reach the settlers for years at a timeâ€"which was a bad business for folk dependent upon staples fro.n Europe. Finally some time about the end of the fourteenth century political dissensions between Norway ‘and Denâ€" mark stopbed the sailing altogether. Left to their fate, the Norse settlers died off or were killed by the Eskimos. When, in 1721, a belatocd expedition from Denmark crossed to see if: there were any survivors, and to establish the present regime of Denmark in Greenland, not a trace of the Norsemen could be foundâ€"only the halfâ€"buried ruins of their stone churches and farm houses. Diligent search for Norse relics on the American mainland ~has ~so far pielded nothing of unquestionable auâ€" Norse Settlers Died Even southernâ€" Greenland was then. as it is toâ€"day, too cold a climate to grow grain. The Norse settlers hunted fished and raised cattle, sheep, hors>s and goats. They depended upon Norâ€" way for grain, iron and lumber {for which they sent back dried fish, furs, feathers and oil.

That Minnesota Stone The soâ€"called Kensington Stone Minnesota today reposes in a glass case at the Chamber of Commerce at Alexâ€" andria, Minnesota, where visitors come to gaze upon it. This stone is said io have been dug up in 1898 from beneath the roots of a 70â€"yearâ€"old poplar tree near the village of Kensington in that state, by a local farmer named Olaf Ohman. It bears inscriptions in anâ€" cient runic characters interspersed with a few Latin letters. However, some of the critics who arose to argue that the stone had been "planted" claimed ‘hat the inscriptions had been bade in reâ€" cent years. Briefly they state: "8 Goths and 22 Norwegians on a journey of discovery through the West. We had camp for two skerries one day from this stone. After we came home we found 10 men red with blood and dead A.V.M. (Ave: Virgo Maria) deliver us from evil." On another portion of the stone are the words "We have 10 of our men by the sea to look after our ships, 14 days journey from this islandâ€"Year 1362." Via James Bay Discovery of the stone caused a great sensation, but some scholars of note raised violent, presumptions against its authenticity. Disgusted, Mr. Ohman who had been exhibiting the stone in a bank window, threw it in front of h.s granary for a footstepâ€"whence it has been Prof. H. J. Holland of the University of ‘Winconsin, however. published, in 1932, a book in which he maintains, that the stone is genuine. And during his researches, lasting for many years, he was the recipient of reputed Norse relics found in Minneâ€" sota and Wisconsin. These were three typical Scandinavian battle axes of the Middle Acrps, a Norwegian hatchet, a spear point and a fire steel. In support of the stone‘s genuinencss Mr. Gathorneâ€"Hardy, an English auâ€" tority on Scandinavian lore, points out that in the year 1355 King Magnus of Norway sent Paul Knutson and a mixâ€" cd expedition of Norwegians and Swedes to Greenland to see to the reâ€" ligious welfare of the Greenlanclers, many of whom were reporbed apostate. He submits that the expedition, whith did not return to Europe until 1363â€"%, might have gone into Hudson Bay and south via the Nelson River, Lake Winâ€" nipeg and the Red River to the site of Kensington. It would appear that Scandinavians as a whole have long since settled the question of who was the first white man in America.
