CHAPTER V—Continued.
—12—
But he didn’t step one side. He
asked more questions, one right after
another.
“Are you sick, Mary?”
I shook my head.
“Did you hurt yourself?”
I shook my head again.
“It isn’t—your mother—you haven’t
had bad news from her?”
And then I blurted it out without
thinking—without thinking at all what
I was saying: “No, no—but I wish I
had, I wish I had; ’cause then I could
go to her, and go away from here 1”
The minute I’d said It I knew what I’d
said, and how awful it sounded; and I
clapped my fingers to my lips. But’t
was too late. It’s always too late,
when you’ve once said it. So I just
waited for him to thunder out his
anger; for, of course, I thought he
would thunder in rage and righteous
indignation.
But he didn’t. Instead, very quietly
and gently he said:
“Are you so unhappy, then, Mary—
here?”
And I looked at him, and his eyes
and his mouth and his whole face
weren’t angry at all. They were just
sorry, actually sorry. And somehow,
before I knew It, I was crying again,
and Father, with his arm around me—
with his arm around me! think of
that!—was leading me to the sofa.
And I cried and cried there, with my
head on the arm of the sofa, till I’d
made a big tear spot on the linen
cover; and I wondered if It would dry
up before Aunt Jane saw It, or if it
would change color or leak through to
the red plush underneath, or some
other dreadful thing. And then, some
way, I found myself telling it all over
to Father—about Mary and Marie, I
mean, just as if he was Mother, or
some one I loved—I mean, some one I
loved and wasn’t afraid of; for of
course I love Father. Of course I do!
Well, I told him everything (when I
got started there was no stopping)—
all about how hard it was to be Mary,
and how today I had tried to be Marie
for just a little while, to rest me. He
interrupted here, and wanted to know
if that was why I looked so different
today—more as I had when I first
came; and I said yes, that these were
Marie things that Mary couldn’t wear.
And when he asked, “Why, pray?” in
a voice almost cross, I told him, of
course, that Aunt Jane wouldn’t let
me; that Mary had to wear brown
serge and calfskin boots that were
durable, and that would wear well.
And when I told him how sorry I
was about the music and such a noise
as I’d been making, he asked if that
was Marie’s fault, too; and I said yes,
of course—that Aunt Jane didn’t like
to have Mary play at all, except
hymns and funeral marches, and Mary
didn’t know any. And he grunted a
queer little grunt, and said, “Well,
well, upon my soul, upon my soul!”
Then he said, “Go on.” And I did go
on.
I told him how I was afraid it was
going to be just like Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde. (I forgot to say I’ve read
it now. I found it In Father’s library,)
Of course not just like it, only one of
me was going to be bad, and one good,
I was afraid, if I didn’t look out. I
told him how Marie always wanted to
kick up rugs, and move the chairs out
of their sockets in the carpet, and
leave books around handy, and such
things. And so today it seemed as if
I’d just got to have a, vacation from
Mary’s hot gingham dresses and
clumsy shoes. And I told him how
lonesome I was without anybody, not
anybody; and I told about Charlie
Smith and Paul Mayhew and Mr.
Claude Livingstone, and how Aunt
Jane wouldn’t let me have them,
either, even if I was standing where
the brook and river meet.
Father gave another funny little
grunt here, and got up suddenly and
walked over to the window. I thought
at first he was angry; but he wasn’t.
He was even more gentle when he
came back and sat down again, and
he seemed interested, very much inter
ested in everything I told him. But I
stopped just in time from saying again
how I wished I could go back to Bos
ton ; but I’m not sure but he knew I
was going to say it.
But he was very nice and kind and
told me not to worry about the music
—that he didn’t mind it at all. • He’d
been in several times and heard it.
And I thought almost, by the way he
spoke, that he’d come in on purpose to
hear it; but I guess that was a mis
take. He just put it that way so I
wouldn’t worry over It—about its
bothering him, I mean.
He was going to say more, maybe;
but I don’t know. I had to run. I
heard Aunt Jane’s voice on the piazza
saying good-by to the lady that had
brought her home; so, of course, I had
to run and hang Marie in the closet
and get out Mary from the corner be
fore she saw me. And I did.
By dinner-time I hud on the ging
ham dress and the hot clumsy shoes
again; and I had washed my face in
cold water so I had got most of the
tear spots off. I didn’t want Aunt
Jane to see them and ask questions, of
course. And I guess she didn’t. Any
way, she didn’t say anything.
Father didn’t say anything, either,
but lie acted queer. Aunt Jane tried
to tell him something about the mis
sionary meeting and the heathen, and
a great famine that was raging. At
first he didn T t say anything; then he
said, oh, yes, to be sure, how very in
teresting, and he was glad, very glad.
And Aunt Jane was so disgusted, and
accused him of being even more ab
sent-minded than usual, which was en
tirely unnecessary, she said.
But even that didn't move Father a
mite. He just said, yes, yes, very like
ly; and went on scowling to himself
and stirring his coffee after he’d
drank it all up—I mean, stirring
where It had been In the cup.
I didn’t know but after supper h^’d
speak to me and ask me to come to
the library. I hoped he would. There
were lots more things I’d like to have
said to him. But Tie didn’t. He never
said a word. He just kept scowling,
and got up from the table and went off
by himself. But he didn’t go out to
the observatory,' as he most generally
does. He went Into the library and
shut the door.
He was there when the telephone
message came at eight o’clock. And
what do you think? He'd forgotten he
was going to speak before the Col
lege Astronomy club that evening!
He Didn't Say Much at First
Forgotten his old stars for once. I
don’t know why. I did think, for a
minute, ’twas ’cause of me—what I’d
told him. But I knew, of course, right
away that it couldn’t be that. He’d
never forgot his stars for me! Prob
ably he was just reading up about
some other stars, or had forgotten
how late it was, or something. (Fa
ther’s always forgetting things.) But,
anyway, when Aunt Jane called him
he got his hat and hurried off without
so much as one word to me, who was
standing near, or to Aunt Jane, who
was following him all through the hall,
and telling him In her most I’m-
amazed-at-you voice how shockingly
absent-minded he was getting to be. .
ONE WEEK LATER.
Father’s been awfully queer this
whole week through. I can’t make
him out at all. Sometimes I think lie’s
glad I told him all those things in the
parlor that day I dressed up in Marie’s
things, and sometimes I think lie’s sor
ry and wished I hadn’t.
The very next morning he came
down to breakfast with such a funny
look on his face. He said good-morn
ing to me three times, and all through
breakfast lie kept looking over at me
with a kind' of scowl that was not
cross at all—just puzzled.
After breakfast he didn’t go out to
the observatory, not even into the
library. He fidgeted around the din
ing room till Aunt Jane went out
Into the kitchen to give her orders to
Susie; then he burst out, all of a
sudden:
“Well, Mary, what shall we do to
day?” Just like that he said it, as if
we’d been doing things together every
day of our lives.
“D-do?" I asked; and 1 know I
showed how surprised I was by the
way I stammered and flushed up.
“Certainly, do,” he answered, impa
tient and scowling. “What shall we
do?"
“Why, Father, I—I don't know," I
stammered again.
“Come, come, of course you know!"
he cried. “You know what you want
to do, don’t you?”
I shook my head. I was so aston
ished I couldn’t even think. And when
you can’t think you certainly can’t
talk.
“Nonsense, Mary,” scowled Fnther.
"Of course you know what you want
to do! What are you in the habit of
doing with your young friends—your
Carries and Charlies, and all the
rest?”
I guess I just stood and stared and
didn’t say anything; for after a min
ute he cried: "Weil—well—well/ I'm
waiting.”
“Why, we—we walk—and talk—and
play games,” I began; but right away
he interrupted.
“Good! Very well, then, we’ll walk.
I’m not Carrie or Charlie, but I be
lieve I can walk and talk—perhaps
even play games. Who knows? Come,
get your hat.”
And I got my hat, and we went.
But what a funny, funny walk that
was! He meant to make it a good
one, I know he did. And lie tried.
He tried real hard. But he walked
so fast I couldn’t half keep up with
him; then, when he saw how I was
hurrying, he’d slow down, ’way down,
and look so worried—till he’d forget
and go striding off again, ’way ahead
of me.
We went up on the hill through the
Benton woods, and it was perfectly
lovely up there. He didn’t say much
at first. Then, all of a sudden, he be
gan to talk, about anything and every
thing. And I knew, by the way he
did It, that he’d just happened to
think he’d got to talk.
And how he talked! He asked me
was I warmly clad (and here It !s
August!), and did I have a good break
fast, and how old was I, and did I en
joy my studies—which shows how lit
tle he was really thinking what he was
saying. He knows school closed ages
ago. Wasn’t, he teaching me himself
the last of it, too? All around us were
flowers and birds, and oh, so many,
many lovely things. But he never said
a word‘about them. He just talked—
because he’d got to talk. I knew it,
and it made me laugh inside, though
all the while It maae me sort of want
to cry, too. Funny, wasn't It?
After a time he didn’t talk any more,
but just walked on and on; and by and
by we came home.
Of course, it wasn’t awfully jolly—
that walk wasn’t; and I guess Father
didn’t think It was either. Anyhow,
he hasn’t asked me to go again this
week, and he looked tired and worried
and sort of discouraged when he got
back from that one.
The next evening he took me out to
the observatory to see the stars. That
was lovely. Honestly I had a perfect
ly beautiful time, and I think Father
did, too. He wasn’t stiff and polite
one bit. Oh, I don’t mean that lie was
impolite or rude. It’s Just that lie
wasn’t stiff as if I was company. And
he was so happy with his stars qn<J
his telescope, and so glad to shov?
them to me—oh, I had a beautiful
time, and I told him so; and he looked
real pleased. But Aunt Jane came for
me before I’d had half enough, and I
had to go to bed.
The next morning I thought he’d be
different, somehow, because we’d had
such a lovely time together the night
before. But he wasn’t. He just said,
"Good morning, Mary,” and began to
read his paper. And lie read his pa
per all through breakfast without say
ing another word to me. Then he got
up and went into the library, and I
never saw him again all day except
at dinner-time and supper-time, and
then he didn’t talk to me.
But after supper he took me out
again to see the stars, and he was
just as nice and friendly as could be.
Not a bit like a man that’s only a
father by order of the court. But the
next day—!
Well—and that’s the way it’s been
all the week. And that's why I say
lie’s been so queer. One minute he’ll
be just as nice and folksy as you
could ask anybody to be, and the very
next he’s looking right through you
as if lie didn’t see you at all, and you
wonder and wonder what’s the mat
ter, and if you’ve done anything to
displease him.
Sometimes he seems almost glad and
happy, and then he’ll look so sorry
and sad!
I just can’t understand my father
at all.
ANOTHER WEEK LATER.
I’m so excited I don’t know what to
do. The most wonderful thing has
happened. I can’t hardly believe It
yet myself. Yet it’s so. My trunk ia
all packed, and I’m to go home tomor
row. Tomorrow!
This Is the way It happened:
Mother wrote Aunt Jane and asked
if I might not be allowed to come
home for the opening of school in
September. She said she understood
quite well that she had no right to
usk this, and, of course, if they saw
fit, they were entirely within their
rights to refuse to ahow me to go un
til the allotted time. But that she
could not help asking it for my sake,
on account of the benefit to be derived
from being there at the opening of
the school year.
Well, when the letter came I took it
to Aunt Jane myself; and I was crazy
to know what was in it, for I recog
nized the writing, of course. But Aunt
Jane didn’t tell me. She opened it,
rend it, kind of flushed up, and said,
“Humph! The Idea !’’ under her breath,
and put the letter in her pocket.

VINE SUPPORT FOR TRELLIS
Inexpensive Device Shown in Illustra
tion is Recommended for At
taching Vines, Etc.
This simple device for attaching
berry vines, climbing roses, etc., to
the trellis, is far superior to tying.
It is inexpensive, quicker, can never
bind the stems, and is Instantly re
moved for pruning or re-arranging,
writes C. A. Pease of California in
Farm and Home. A quantity can be
made up at odd times, from old baling
wire, and kept on hand ready for use.
The sketches will explain its construc
tion and use.
The loop should be large enough
to contain the largest stem, without
binding—about seven-eighths of an
inch across inside is a good general
size. Two forms of hooks are shown,
one for wire trellises, the other for use
on wooden slat trelKses.
The plain loop (a) is for use with
vertical or nearly vertical stems.
Where stems are to be trained more
nearly horizontal, the sides of the loop
should be longer, and the loop given a
quarter-turn, with the result shown
at b, where the supporting hooks are
In line with the horizontal stem, a!

CULTIVATE ALL FRUIT TREES
Just as Essential in Orchard as for
Any Other Crop—Tends to
Conserve Moisture.
It is just as essential to cultivate
fruit trees as any other growing crop.
Sometimes the trees are plowed In the
spring and'left the rest of the year
without any further care, so far as
cultivation is concerned. An excep
tion is where a cultivated crop Is
growing between the trees, says D. C.
Mooring, extension horticulturist,
Oklahoma A. and M. college. While
trees are young, a cultivated row
crop may be grown between the trees
so long as it does not compete with
the trees for the same moisture and
plant food. Therefore, each year as
the trees grow, move the crop fur
ther away from the trees and when
the trees are well into bearing cease
growing a spring crop among the trees
at all.
A soil that is well cultivated will (1)
catch much more moisture, including
rains and snows; (2) conserve the
moisture; (3) keep down grass and
weeds; (4) aerate the soil, that Is,
permit of free air circulation, which
is necessary to the life and develop
ment of the roots.
The first cultivation in the spring
should be four or five inches deep with
whatever available tool Is at hand. Be
careful not to skin the trees.
In case your trees are growing la
the yard, where It is not practical to
use horse power In cultivation, a
spade, shovel or hoe may be used.
Where a hand tool is used, loosen the
soil under the tree and at least a foot
or two beyond the extent of the limbs.
The cultivation should begin in
March or early April and continue un
til midsummer under normal condi
tions, and during the dry season the
cultivation should continue until the
last of the summer. After the first
cultivation, which Is the deep one, the
other cultivations should be merely to
establish a soil mulch.
SPRAY TO KILL GRAPE PESTS
As Soon as Rootworm Beetles Ap
pear Apply Arsenate of Lead
—Cultivate in June.
To destroy the grape rootworms,
cultivate the vineyard during early
June, the United States Department
of Agriculture advises. Spray the
vines as soon as adult beetles appear
with arsenate of lead, lft pounds pow
der or 3 pounds paste to 50 gal-
longs of water, or 50 gallons of bor*
deaux mixture if fungous diseases are
present.
To destroy the grape leafhopper,
spray In late June or early July, when
the nymphs of young insects are most
abundant. Use 40 per cent nicotine
sulphate, one-fourth pint to 50 gallons
soapy water (2 pounds soap) or with
50 gallons bordeaux mixture to con
trol fungous diseases. Hit the lower
sides of the leaves forcibly.
Stake Up Young Berries.
Young cane fruits such as raspber
ries and blackberries will give much
better results the first season if they
are staked up and tied, rather than al
lowed to trail over on the ground.
Utilize Waste Places.
Try planting a fruit or nut tree in
the fence corner where the weeds now
have full possession.

Jeremiah.
JUNIOR TOPIC-Jeremiah’s Bold Truth-
telling.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
—Faithful in the Face of Danger.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Lessons From Jeremiah’s Character.
I. Jeremiah Predicts the Capture of
Jerusalem (vv. 1-3).
1. To Whom—the People (v. 1).
Jeremiah had been taken out of the
prison by the king (37:17), and
ordered confined to the court of the
prison (37:21). The people seem to
have had free access to him in the
court (32:12). From this place of
limited confinement Jeremiah an
nounced to the people their approach
ing captivity.
2. Counsel Given (vv. 2, 3). (1) All
that remaineth in the city shall die by
the sword, famine and pestilence. (2)
He that goeth forth to the Chaldeans
shall live. “He shall have his life for
a prey" doubtless means that he shall
escape with his life, though losing all
else.
II. Jeremiah Accused by the Princes
(vv. 4, 5).
1. “He weakeneth the hands of the
men and all the people” (v. 4). From
a human standpoint what they said
was true, but since Jeremiah was but
the Interpreter of God to the nation
they ought to have heeded his advice
to surrender.
2. “This man seeketh not the wel
fare of this people, but the hurt” (v.
4). This charge was utterly false.
Jeremiah was the best friend of the
people, for he faithfully proclaimed
to them God’s judgment upon them for
their sins and advised them how to
make the best of their unfortunate
situation.
3. The King’s Cowardly Act (v. 5).
Jeremiah is abandoned by his coward
ly friend. The very one whom Jere
miah was trying to help deserted him.
The king was afraid of the Chaldeans,
the princes, Jeremiah and God.
III. Jeremiah Cast Into the Dungeon
(v. 6).
This was not a regular prison, but
a cistern which had doubtless been
emptied of its water during the siege,
leaving only “mire." Into this mire
he sank. The purpose was to let
Jeremiah die there. There was no
possible way to escape. In this situa
tion Jeremiah is a type of Christ
(Psalm 69). Jeremiah was one of tb«
bravest of God’s servants.
IV. Jeremiah Rescued From the
Dungeon (vv. 7-13).
1. By Whom—Ebed-melech, an Afri
can servant (vv. 7-9). The Jewish
prophet whom his own countrymen
tried to destroy is saved by a Gentile,
which may be thought of as fore
shadowing the Gentiles’ ,attitude to
ward Christ. Though Ebed-melech
had a colored skin he was the whitest
man in Jerusalem. He was not only
sympathetic, but courageous. He went
to the king and boldly declared that
the princes had done evil in Imprison
ing Jeremiah.
2. The Method (vv. 10-13). The king
yielded to his request and furnished a
guard to prevent interference with the
work of rescue. He let down soft
rags and worn-out garments by ropes
and instructed Jeremiah to put them
under his arms and under the ropes
so as to prevent injury to him as he
was lifted up. They lifted him out
of the dungeon and he was permitted
the freedom of the court of the prison.
Why did Jeremiah have such a hard
time? Why ,do the purest and best
men and women have to suffer? Why
are God’s prophets unpopular? Jere
miah, the prophet who declared God’s
power to deliver, goes to prison and
suffers. “Why do the righteous suf
fer" is an age-old question.
1. The power of God is more strik
ingly shown in deliverance than in
keeping from trials. This was so in
the case of the Hebrews in the fiery
furnace and Daniel in the den of
lions.
2. Great gain accrues to the suffer
ers; e. g. the Hebrews in the fiery
furnace were not only kept from being
burned, but had walking with them
the Son of God; Job through his
trials was brought to see himself.
3. Suffering turns out to the further
ance of God’s cause; e. g. Job be
comes the priest through whose Inter
cession his friends are pardoned;
Paul’s sufferings furthered the preach
ing of the gospel; John through ban
ishment on the Isle of Patmos was
given the vision of the Revelation.
Zion.
But Judah shall dwell for ever, and
Jerusalem from generation to genera
tion. For I will cleanse their blood
that I have not cleansed: for the Lord

Be Honest.
Recompense to no man evil for evil.
Provide things honest In the sight of
all men.—Romans 17.

A MODEL RURAL TROOP
The following letter from H. H.
Kurtz, scoutmaster of Locustdale,
Troop No. 1, Honeybrook, Pennsyl
vania, shows that the scout program
is equal to any situation in the hands
of a fevoted scoutmaster:
“This is strictly a rural troop. The
borough of Honeybrook, of less than
700 inhabitants gives us only 10 scouts.
The remaining 28 come from little
hamlets of distant farms; 18 are farm
boys—boys who live, perform work on
farms. Nearly all are, in a greater
or less degree, active tillers « the
soli.
“The country is admirably adapted
to scouting with wide and fertile val
leys, long ranges of wooded hills,
clear streams. We claim as our terri
tory a section ot about 200 square
miles. Boys live from five to ten miles
from scout headquarters. This fact
makes certain arrangements necessary
which will be explained.
"We set up a high idea 1 - We deter
mined however wq might fail in other
things, to place the chief emphasis on
the oath and law. Scoutcraft was
distinctly secondary. After four yea is
we still keep the ideal in view. No
boy may enter the troop unless we are
satisfactorily assured that he will do
his best to do his duty to God, his
country, and obey the scout law.
“Every boy is in a patrol and knows
his number. Each patrol is properly
officered, the officers being chosen on
the ground of worth and merit. There
are no elections. The two senior
patrol leaders, the six patrol leaders
and their six assistants form an ‘offi
cers’ council,’ which administers dis
cipline, outlines the policy of the troop
and advises with the scoutmaster.
Nothing of importance is decided (ex
cept in emergency) .without the coun
cil.
“Every scout is uniformed, and every
scout procures his own uniform. A
poor boy will receive aid from the
troop treasury, which he may make
good as he is able. Insignia is pro
vided by the troop. Each scout is
given his proper badges, shoulder
knots, service stripes, etc., and it is
required that these matters be in place,
and that they be correct. The troop
is governed by a point system. This
is rigidly adhered to, and each boy
reports his ‘points’ on honor, at the
business meeting. The system gov
erns the ‘good turn’ and all the mat
ters of the oath and law. and attend
ance and inspection. In uniform, or
out. and at any time and place the
scout salutes his superiors, once in the
day. Strict and unquestioning obedi
ence is required as well as regular at
tendance at all of the business meet
ings.
‘‘The scattered condition of the troop
forbids a weekly meeting; so the busi
ness meeting, held once a month, is
to be attended. No boy may go else
where on that evening.
“In addition to this business meet
ing, each patrol holds a monthly meet
ing. Here the indoor scoutcraft work
is done, and boys are examined as to
tests, or prepared for tbe court of
honor.
“Several features peculiar to this
troop, have proved valuable. Each
boy, entering the troop, undergoes a
partial physical examination. His
record is kept, and he is examined
periodically, and his development
noted. Thq records show a splendid
physical standard in the troop.
"Every boy who reports, on honor, a
perfect score of points for three con
secutive months receives the ‘100 per
cent duty shield. Four such periods
entitle him to the Maltese Cross
award. We have a boy, of unimpeach
able rectitude, who has won the award
for perfect score for two unbroken
years.
“The patrol that gains the greatest
number of points in a month is en
titled to the custody of the flags—the
Troop Flag and the National Ensign.
The patrol whose efficiency is ad
judged the highest for the year, re
ceives a medal'.
“Official hikes are conducted at fre
quent intervals. No winter hikes are
held. The country boy has his fill of
winter experiences in hiS long jour-
ueys to and from school. But when
spring comes we hike. The patrol
most fully represented in the year’s
hikes receives a medal. So also does
the individual scout who is present at
the greatest number of hikes. Each
hike is conducted by a leader, usually
a troop officer, who is responsible for
the welfare and behavior of all scouts
who are preseut. No Sunday hikes,
no tests passed on that day, and at
tendance at Divine service required of
all.’*
SCOUT SAVES KIDDIES
Two small children were playing in
a Manhattan street when a delivery
wagon horse suddenly frightened start
ing down the street at a gallop—all
the ingredients of a possible tragedy!
But, a scout was at hand, Emil Kozel-
onzek, by name. Instantly taking in
the whole situation, mentally awake,
ns scouts are trained to be, Emil
darted into the street, snatched the
children to safety from almost under
the feet of the runaway. Prepared
again!
Everett, Washington. — “ For several
years I have had trouble with the lowest
part of my back and

work although I did
not feel good. I saw
Lydia E. Pinkham’a
Vegetable Com
pound advertised and
having heard several
praise it I decided to
try it. I feel first-rate at the present
time. It has done wonders for me and
l keep it in the house right along. I
always recommend it to others who are
sick and ailing.”—Mrs. J. M. SiBBERT,

To do any kind of work, or to play for
that matter, is next to impossible if you
are suffering from some form of female
trouble. It may cause your back or your
legs to ache, it may make you nervous
and irritable. You may be able to keep
up and around, but you do not feel good
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is a medicine for women. It is
especially adapted to relieve the cause
of the trouble and then these annoying
pains, aches and “no good” feelings
disappear.
It has done this for many, many wo
men: why not give it a fair trial—now.
Advent of the Match.
The flurry of interest in the proba
bility of being able to light the sum
mer cottage ten years hence with cold
light has excited less curiosity than
the first “fire sticks” or matches, ex
hibited in England, a little over a cen
tury ago. The Morning Post of Lon
don, December 27, 1808, announces:
“The success of the instantaneous
light and fire machines daily increases,
and the manufactory in Fifth street,
Soho, has become now the daily lesort
of persons of the first fashion and con
sequence In town, who express them
selves as highly gratified with the util
ity and ingenuity of these philosophi
cal curiosities.”
A dog’s place in the world is solid.
He thinks man’s pretty nice; and boys,
a joy forever.
