I feel sure she will be well. I am not worried.” Helmi's cheerflness seemed most untimely; nor could she explain it to Mrs. McMann—there was a greater War between them now than even that of language. “Well, it's grand to take things as easy as you do, Helmy, I must say. Now when my children were little they had the fever, too, all together; not very bad, but I worried.

But it doesn’t pay. Are you goin’ to stay? No! Goin’ back are you? City life is too much for girls these days. Picture shows attract them.

He was over in France ncjv, on active service, and the letter was written as he sat waiting for the signal to go over the top in an at- tempt to capture a German position. “It's good to have someone to write to Helmi, someone who cares; and I want you to do something for me. It worries me to think of my house and garden lying idle there and going to ruin. I wonder if you would go there to live, The garden has raspberries and currants and strawberry plants too, and ‘there are provisions in the house“for a year. If you go there I want you to take Cleo, too, and give her a home. She is wonderful dog. I cannot tell you what she has been to me, And my horse, Sailor, that I left with the Ransoms would be handy for you to drive to town. I would feel better if I knew you were there, dear Helmi, and I hope you will go.

Write Soon and often, Helmi, please.” At the bottom of the Jetter there was a postscript. “You will never need to be bothered with these med- dlesome prospectors hunting for coal, for I bought all the mineral rights; so if the bank of the creek is solid coal, and I rather think it is, they can never come in without your con- sent.

We had decid- ed that already, and now Isee God has sent me a home as well as a dog to keep me company. I do not know how we will make a living there, eight miles from any settlement, but we should worry over a little thing like that. God will provide for us some way, Cleo.” (To Be Continued.) Reliable Weather Sign Red Sky In Morning Suré Indication Of a Storm An old English rhyme says: “Red at night is the shepherd’s de- light, % Red in the morning is the shepherd's warning.” + The idea it expresses is known in nearly every country in the world. Even the ancient Egyptians and Greeks had sayings similar to the above. Furthermore, it is scientifical- ly true. Red skies are really weath- er forecasts. If the atmosphere is clear in the evening or morning sun’s ight is red because the blue, of which he ordinary white light of the sun is made up has been absorbed by the great length of atmosphere through which the slanting rays of the sun have to pass. In the evening the rosy light of the sunset illumines the clouds on the eastern side of the sky. This shows that the clouds have gone by and are taking the rain with them. Thus we get red at night, indicating fine weather. In the morning, the rising sun being in the east, the light illuminates the western horizon and its clouds, which are on their way to us. We need not be sheyferds to know that if the sky is red and lowering in the morning we are in for a good “soaker” before lunch-time comes.

'The only diffi- culty I have experienced, strangely enough, is caused by one person hav- ing sveral voices. All of us have; we change tone and quality more or less unconsciously according to our mood and condition. But in some the change is dismayingly marked. One woman, for example, has as niany as five voices, each quite distinct. The physical condition is also revealed by the voice in a striking degree, both as to change and normal characteris- tics. Fat people, for example, have a voice quality which is all but invari- ably detectable. Character, too, is easily read.
