They moved softly, as 1f fearing to disturb ome unseen tenant of those bare and dingy rooms, Often they paused, and, drawing close to each ther, stood ag if in the very pres- ance of some spirit that was not of their material world, At last they 'ame to the back porch, which was dden from. the curious eyes of any chance observed in the nelgh- borhood by a rank growth of weeds and bushes and untrimmed trees. As John Ward looked at his sis- ter now, that expression of won- dering amazement with which he had greeted her was gone. In its place there was gentle understand- ing. With a little smile, Helen sat down on the top step of the porch and motioned him to a seat beside her, "Won't you tell me about it, John?" she said, softly, "Tell you about what, Helen?" 'About everything--your life, sour work, your friends," She made a little gesture toward the cottage ext door, They could see the white gable through the screen of tangled boughs, "What is it that has changed you 50?" she went on, "Your interests ire so different now, You are so 1appy and contented--so--so alive --and "--=her voice broke--'I feel 18 If you were going away off some- where and leaving me behind, 1 im so miserable, John, won't you ell me about things?" "You poor old girl!" exclaimed John with true brotherly affection I've been a blind fool, I ought lo have seen, That's nearly always the way, thoug I guess," he went on reflectingly, "A fellow gets so darned interested trying to make things go right outelde his own home that he forgets to notice how the peope that he really loves most of all are getting along. It looks as though I have no been doing so much better than poor old Sam Whaley, atter all," He paused and seemed to be fol- lowing his thoughts into fields where only he could go. Helen 'moved a little closer, and he came 'back to her, "I never dreamed that you were feeling anything like this, sister, I knew that you were worried about father, of course, as. we all are, but aside from that you seemed to be 60 occupied with your various in- terests and with Melyer " He paused, then finished, abruptly, "Look here, Helen, what about you wind Melver anyway; have you given im his answer get?" "Has that anything to do with 7" she answered, doubtfully, There 's nothing that I can tell ou about Meclver, I don't seem 0 be able to make up my ming, 'hat Is all, But Melver is only a part of the whole trouble, John, Oh, can't you understand! How am I to know whether or not [ vant to mary him or any one else ntil--until | have found myself-- ntil T know where I really be- ng." He looked at her blankly for a cond, then a smile broke over his we. "By George!" he exclaimed, that is exactly what [ had to do-- ind myself and find where I be- onged, I never dreamed that my sister might be compelled to go 'through the same experience." "Was it your army life 1elped you to know?" iils race was serious now, "It was the things I saw and experienc ed while in France," "Tell me," she demanded, "7 wean, tell me some of the things "hat you men never talk about- -the ings you were forced to feel and elieve--that showed you your real ¢lt--that changed you into what ou are to-day." And because John Ward was able lat afternoon to understand his ster's need, he did as she asked. t may bave been the influence of the old bouse that enabled bim to lay bare for her those experiences of his innermost self--those soul adventures about which, as she had so truly said, men never talk, Cer- tainly he would never have spoken in their home on the hill as he spoke in that atmosphere from which their father and his material prosperity bad go far removed them. And Helen, as she listened, knew that she had found at last the key to all in her brother's life that bad so puzzled her. But, after all, she reflected, when be bad finished, John's experience could not solve her problem. She could not find herself in the things that he had thought and felt. "If only I could have been with you over there," she murmured. "But, Helen," he cried ,eagerly, "it is all right here at home. The same thiongs are happening all about us every day--dou't you un- derstand? The one biggest thing that came to me out of the war is the realization that, great and ter- rible though it was, it was in reality only a part of the greater war that is being fought all the time." She sbook her head with a doubtful smile at his earnestness. And then he tried to tell her of the Mill as he saw it in its relation to human life--of the danger that threatened the mation through the industrial situation--of the menace to humanity that lay in the efforts of those who were setting class against class in deadly hatred that would result in revolutoin with all its horrors. He tried to make her feel the call of humanity's need in the world's work, as it was felt in the need of the world's war. He sought to apply for her the princi- ples of heroism and comradeship and patriotism and service to this war that was still being waged against the imperialistic enemies of ithe nation and the race. But when he paused at last. she that the Old House | OLD BELL WRIGHT. John," she said, "and 1 love you for it. I think I understand you now, and for yoursel it is right, of course, but for me--it is all so visionary----so unreal" y "And yet," he returmed, "you were very active during the war-- you made bandages and lint and sweaters, and raised funda for the Red Cross. Was it all real to you?" "Yes," she answered, honestly, "it was very real John; it was so real that In contrast nothing that I do now seems of any jmportance." "But, Helen, you never saw, a wounded soulder--you never wit- nessed the horrors--you never came in actual touch with the suf- tering. did you?" "" 0. " "And yet you say the war was real to you." "Very real," she replied. + Do you think, Helen," he sald slowly, "that Interpreter"s suffer- ing would have been more real if he had lost his legs by a German machine gun instead of by a mach ing in father's mill?" "Johu!" she exclaimed in a shocked tone, "You say the suffering away over there In France was real to you," he continued. "Well, less than a mile from this spot, I called this afternoon on a man who is dy- ing by inches of consumption, cone tracted while working in our office. For eight years he was absent from his desk scarcely a day. The firm nicknamed him 'Old Faithful. When he dropped In his tracks at last they carried him out aad stop- ped his pay, He had no care--noth- ing to eat, even, except the help that the Martins give him, Another case: A widow and four helpless children----the man was killed in Melver's factory last week. He dled in agony too horrible to de- scribe, The mother is prostrated, the children are hungry. God knows what will become of them this next winter. Another: A workman who was terribly burned In the Mill two years ago, He is blind and crippled in the bargain. She interrupted him with a pro- testing ery "John, John, for pity's sake, stop!" "Well, why are not these things right here at home as real to you as you say tha same things were when they happened in France?" he de- manded, She did not attempt to answer hig question but instead asked, gen- tly, "Is that why you have heen going to the Flats with Mary?" If he noticed any special signifi- cance in her words he ignored fit, "Mary visits the people in the Flats as her mother did--as our mother used to do, She told me of some of the cases, and I have been going with her now and then to see for myself--that is all." Then they left the old house and drove back to their preten- tious home on the hill, where Adam Ward suffered hig days of mental torture and was racked by his nightly dr-ams of hell, And the dread shadow of that hidden thing was nver 'hem all, That night when John told the Interpreter of his afternoon with his sister the old basket maker lict- ened silently, His face was turn. ed toward the scene -that, gave for the twinkling lights, lay wrapped in darkness before them. And he seemed to be listening to the voice of the Mill, When John had fin- ished, the man in the wheel chair said very little. But when John was leaving, the Interpreter asked, as an after- thought, "And where was Captain Charlie this afternoon, John?" "At the Mill," John answered. "I'm glad he wasn't at home, too; it was bad enough as it was." "Perhaps it was just as well," said the old basket maker. And John Ward, in the darkness, conld not gee that the Interpreter was smiling.

Mrs. Mylius commened five years ago with 60 single-comb white leg- horns.

The highest official record of any one bird is 272 eggs. The Mylius flock is composed of 125 pullets and 34 mature hens. A most exacting and elaborate system of bookkeeping is maintain- ed by Mrs. Mylius in connection with the recording of individual production of each bird, as well as @ complete set of books for costs, revenues, ete.
