She grasped her golf •tick firmly in both hands, and with neither preliminaries nor thought of direction swung it against the tittle white ball lying on the grass. Peggy's mind, however, was not on golf. Her brows were furrowed, her body tense; her whole manner that of haste and excite- ment rather than deliberate con- centration. There was a sharp sound as the ball strnck and a sudden grinding «f brakes. "What a day!" she murmured as •he ran forward to see what dis- aster she had caused. She saw a low swung roadster standing in the road. A man was standing with iiis back to h«r, staring at the wind- shield. Peggy spoke in a shaking â- Â»oice. "I'm awfully sorry. I hope no •ne's hurt." The mah turned on her angrily, but lost some of his belligerency at the sight of an antagonist so un- deniably pretty. He smiled, and Peggy decided he looked rather aice when he smiled. "Xo, no one's hurt," he answer- c<L "I'm alone, and the non-shat- tcrable glass did its stuff. It looks funny, though, doesn't it?"

She had difficulty finding a footing through the clinging tendrils of honeysuckle that covered it. But at last she was up, and the boy, for he was scarcely more than that, helped her down. There were leaves on the gray tweed of her skirt, and a splinter from the rail fence had broken a stitch in her green wool sweater. The brown braids of her hair, coiled about her head, were somewhat awry; but her brown eyes thanked him, and the uptilt of her little nose asked questions as s'ne followed him to the car. Silently they examined the maze of lines upon the surface of the glass. The boy broke the silence. "That was some wallop you gave that ball. What were you doing? Prac- ticing for the golf tournarr^ent at Lockton? I'm on my way there now." Peggy shook her head. "Xo, I wasn't practicing for anything. I was trying to w^ork oft my temper." "Do you hit things, too, when you're mad?" he asked, growing friendlier in the discovery of a common trait. "I always do. It used to be my nurse â€" sometimes my own head â€" then other boys, and now the first thing that co.-nes handy." Peggy smiled. "I don't believe I'm quite that bad. But when you've made a fool of yourself you've got to do something. So I took my driver and a pocket full of balls and just began banging them around." "You don't look as if you'd ever make a fool of yourself," the young man told her, eyeing her appraisingly. "X'ow I doâ€" often. That's one reason I'm on my way to Lockton. To forget I was a fool. The cause of my being a fool was a girl. I suppose yours was < man?" he asked. Peggy hesitated before answer- ing. "Yes, and no. There's no use talking about it. I got myself in a mess, and that's all there is to it. But I hate being made a fool of!" she finished, bursting into angry tears. "Don't pay any attention to me. I'll be all right in a minute." "Sit down here on the running board and cry all you like. The girl I was engaged to was always crying when slie got mad, which was pretty often, so I'm used to tears. Wliile you weep I'll intro- duce myself so you won't feel that you're crying with a stranger. I'm Harry Wilson â€" just graduated from Yale. No job, but the old man has enough, so I'm not worrying. Until yesterday I was engaged to a girl who is a honey, but spoiled to death. So am I, only I admit it, and she won't. I got jealous be- cause some visiting guy was pay- ing her too much attention, and like a darn' fool I intimated that there was an out of town girl I thought was pretty swell. She got sore and gave me back my ring and here I am trying manfully to hide my broken heart." With a final sniffle Peggy wiped her eyes and her nose, and smiled at him, "Don't," she pleaded. "I'm all through. I do feel better al- though I'm frightfully ashamed of myself." "Forge: it," Harry advised. "But go on and tell me your life his- tory. Id like to know something about the girl who tried to kill me before she even saw me."

She did not ll'ne talking about herself to strangers, but this boy had been so nice about the damage she had done to his car, and so tactful, she felt, about her outburst of tears. .Anyway, there was a feeling of companion- ship, sitting here in the stillness of the country morning, gazing across the road into the meadow as they talked. It induced a mood for the exchange of confidences. The Jersey cattle grazing in the green field raised their heads to •tare at them in evident surprise. The bell on the lead cow made little silvery noises as she stood in the shade of one of the large oak trees, wisely chewing her cud, and waiting. The odor of honey- suckle mingled with that cf the red Cherokee roses blooming along the roadside. "There isn't much to tell about me," Peggy said. "My name is Margaret Horton. I live with my grandmother in that house you can see through the trees." Harry rose from the running board and turned around, looked as she directed, at the old-fashioned Colonial house on a slight rise about two hun- dred yards from the road. "I thought that must be the country club," he said, resuming his seat. "It looks like a swell place for a party. Won't you in- vite me sometime?" "If you can, send me your fam- ily history for several generations I'll invite vou to my debut thi'?- fall." "Debut? 1 didn't know girls had those any more." "But 1 live with Gran," said Peggy. "Don't misunderstand me. She is the sweetest person in the world. But she still thinks that nice girls shouldn't go p' ices un- chaperoned. They shouldn't go at all, in fact, until they have made their debuts. The list for that party for this fail is now in the making, and I assure you all of the best families in several counties will be represented. But I won't know any of them. I've never been to the country club. I've never been out with a boy except when I was in boarding school and spent week- ends with other girls." Harry stared at her in amaze- ment. "Honest?" he queried, (Continued Next Week) SUNDA Y SCHOOL LESSON SEPTEMBER 10 DAVID ANOINTED KING 1 Samuel 16: 1-5, 11-18 GOLDEN TEXTâ€" Man look- cth on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. 1 S.Tmuel 16:7. Memory Verse: I love thee, O Jehova'ii. Psalm 1S;1. Samuel Mourns For Saul "And Jehovah said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Sau!, seeing I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill thy horn with oil and go: I will send the to Jesse the Bethlehe:nite, for I have provided me a king among his sons." Samuel is now told that he must put aside his grief for Saul and to go forth to anoint him who is divinely chosen to be Israel's new king. "And Samuel said. How can I go? If Saul hear it, he will kill me. And Jehovah said, "Take a heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to Jehovah." Samuel's fear of Saul reveals that he knew only too well that in spite of Saul's confession of sin there was no Peaches For The Good Provider muu»ma»<Kjii ujmwmM»mttm-m9»wm:w I Ripe Peach Jam To retain the rich, luscious fla- vor of peaches, make sure that the fruit is fully ripe and add natural fruit pectin.

One could almost tell the time of year just by listening. In spring there is the hum oi trac- tors, followed by that character istic squeaking oi discs and drills. In summer we hear mowers, wagon-wheels and hayloaders. And in late summer and early fall the chug-chug-chug oi the thresh- ing machines. It is a welcome sou:id even though it adds to one's difficulties for a while. It is a soimd that indicates the end of weeks and weeks of work and worry and foreshadows granaries well filled with feed for cattle and poultry for yet another year, • * • But as 1 said threshing has its problems, particularly with the present labour shortage. Farm Commandos have do;'.e wonderful work according to all accounts but it would hardly be reasonable to expect a city man to help at a threshing. It is bad enough for those who are used to it. .\ni yet it the farmer goes himseliâ€" as he often has to these days â€" then the work at home is at a standstill even though there nay still be grain waiting to be cut. This hap- pens more frequent'y now than it used to because many threshings are so much earlier than formerly. Early maturing spring grain makes this possible. But all farmers do not favour early grain, thus it sometimes happens that when F.irn:er Brown is ready to stook- thresh his early oats, farmer Green is starting out to cut late oats. , Starting out. yes. but that is often as far as he gets. C'nce a ihresjiing machine moves in:o a district there is no telling when it will move out â€" and tarmer Green's oats stand waiting, be- come over-ripe, and if a storm happens to come along the chances are the field is left as flat as a cowpath. » • * We have been lucky in that re- spect. Partner has had to stop for only one hali-days's threshing. But there are other farmers who have been less forf-inate. Some times I wonder why farmers living within a limited area don't ge: to- gether and thresh out their pro blems as well as their crops. It should be possible for farmers in any district to agree on some sort of system whereby no over-ripe grain would be left standing while another man's crop was being threshed out. Far be it from me to tell the men what to do but I often think that farmers as a class are incUned to take the altitude â€" "Each man for himself and the de'il take the hindmost" (It is more than likely Partner will tell me I am sticking my neck out to express such an opinion. Maybe so, but after all the onlooker sees more of the game than the players,) And I feel. too. that if farm women had work which necessitated changing hands they would make a better job of it than the men, I don't know much about it but I have an idea that the old fashioned "bees" of by-gone days were pretty well organised, and arranged to suit everyone's convenience. Co-operation was really some- thing in those days. cha:'.ge of heart and Saul would even kill the Prophet of the Lord to serve his own e:-..!s. Samuel Learns God's Will ".\nd call Jesse to the sacriiice, and 1 will show thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee," Samuel was to learn God's will and see whom of Jesse's sons was to be the Lord's anointed, God often reveals his wi'.l to us grad- ually. ".^nd Samuel did that which Jehovah spake. a:id came to Beth- lehem . . . and he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice." Samuel assured the elders that the object of his visit was entirely peaceable. It -was a religious service he was come to perform and for this sacrifice the elders of Bethelehem, also Jesse and liis sons, were called upon to sanctify themselves by washisig their bodies and their garments as was tlie custom before the bless- ing of the sacrifice. David Is Anointed ".\iid Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? . . . and Jehovah said. .-Xrise, anoint him: for this is he.'' When there is beauty within the soul it is re- flected in tlie countenance, and with such God is well pleased. Be- fore Samuel stands God's choice. David the shepherd boy, a youth beautiful without and within, and Samuel is instructed to anoint him. "Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the s::irit of Jehovah came mightily upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ram- ah," The external rite of anoint- ing was here accompanied by an inner experience of the Holy Spirit who now came upon David for the first time.
