"Oh, I might as well tell jrou," she added impatiently. "I was graduated in June, and ivhen I came home I kept getting letters from the girls I had known at school telling about their good times, and of course I had nothing to write about. Then I began to write them about the parties that were written up in the little paper here. "According to my letters I went to all of them; boys were thrown in by the dozen. Two of the girls wrote me recently that they were engaged. One of them was my roommate and we had planned to io everything together. Double wedding and all that.

Only called him by hii nickname. Needless to lay I did the same. I laid how •w«ct h« was, and what a heavenly ring I had, and a lot of such bunk. Now laugh and tell mc you never heard ol anything so silly." "I don't aee anything about that to get so hct up about." Harry re- plied. "Well, that's not the worst. This, morning I had a telegram from my roommate saying she was com- ing to visit me for a week, arriv- ing this afternoon; and I can't pro- duce a man, or a ring, or any- thing!" 'That is bad," Harry agreed. "I wish I hadn't signed up for that golf tournament, I'd stick around for a week â€" engaged to you. I'm pretty good in that line." Peggy laughed. "That wouldn't help. Gran wouldn't let you in the front door. I couldn't leave even a pretended husband-to-be parked here on the road for a week. There's nothing to it. I'll either have to confess the whole thing, or say I've broken off the engage- ment, and listen to her rave about her fiance." "Isn't there something we can do?" Harry queried, thrusting his hands into his pockts and stretch- ing out his long legs in prepar- ation for thought. "I've got it!" he exclaimed jumping up suddenly. "Look!" bringing his hands from his pockets he held one of them out to her. There was a small jew- eler's box in the palm. He opened the box and Peggy was staring at a beautiful ring with a star de- sign of sapphires set in platinum on each side of a large square cut diamond. "How lovely!" she exclaimed. "Yes, it is pretty, isn't it? I had it made in New York. But it's no good to me now. At least it won't be until I get home. Then I may try to patch things up. But you can" have it for a week. I'm going to be in Lockton that long." "Oh, I couldn't," Peggy cried. "Thanks a lot for offering, but I couldn't use some other girl's ring." "Why not? She'll never know it. 1 know you'll be careful with it. You've got to take it. I won't have you embarrassed like that just over a ring when I have one right here that isn't being used anyway. Try it on and see if it fits." Hesitatingly, Peggy reached for the ring and slipped it on the third finger of her left hand. "See, it's perfect," Harry cried with delight, "Go on now, show that to your ex-roommate and let her laugh it oft. I've got to go on to make Lockton in time to play this afternon. I'll be back here at noon a week from today. I'll meet you here and you can give it back to me then." "But â€" why â€" I musn't take your ring this way. I might lose it, or some one might steal it." "You aren't going to think all that when you get your own en- gagement ring, are you? Well, why should anything be more likely to happen to this one than if it w?re your own? Don't be silly. But don't forget to meet me here next Wednesday, or I'll come charging UQ to the door and 'emand my property from your grandmotlier. Have a grand time this week and tel me all about it Wednesday." Peggy was standing now, staring at flie ring. "I can't begin to thank you. You're just a peach to do this for me, and I'll be here with the ring when you come back. Good hick at the golf, and I hope your real girl will be as thrilled to have this back as 1 am to have it now. It's the loveliest thing I've ever seen." Harry jumped into tlie road.ster with its scarred windshield, which tliey h.T(! both forgotten, and drove away with a last wave at the girl who stood watching him disappear ari^und a curve of the road. Rcinctaiitly Peggy drew the ring from lier finger. She must not let her grandmother see it. She would put it on on the way to the sta- tiou and explain to Nancy that Mrs. Horton knew nothing of her granddaughter's engagement. Nancy would like that. She loved things to be mysterious, Peggy re- membered. Harry bad thoughtless- ly kept the box, so she was oblig- ed to tic the ring in the corner of her handkerchief, and stuff it into • he pocket of her torn sweater.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" David began to reign over Judah about 1000 B. C, and ©â-¼er the twelve tribes about 993 B. C. Place. â€" Jerusalem is situated ia the inheritance of Judah, mid- way between the northern end of the Dead Sea and the Mediterra- atan. David's Stcond Anointing "And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David Ung over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, the men •f Jabesh-gilead were they that buried Saul." This is David's sec- ond anointing, the first having been the secret one at the hands of Samuel. "And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead . . /or Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anoin- ted me king over them." It is to the honor of David, that he re- tained, amidst these new and peri- lous conditions, his old tenderness of feeling and noble generosity. He thought lovingly of his once re- lentless but buried foe, and had respect for the men who had striven to pay honor to the dis- honored body of Saul. People Unite Under David "Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying. Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh." .A.I1 opposi- tion had ceased, the rivals of David were dead, and now the leaders and people saw it was to their advantage to unite .as one man under so valiant a leader as David. David's Third Anointing "In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was than that led- dest out and broughtest in Israel . . . and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over aH Israel and Judah." David the shepherd-king who had so faithfully led, led and defended his father's sheep on the hills of Bethlehem became an equally faithful shepherd of God's people Israel. In behalf of the people in God's presence, a mutual agreement or covenant was made between them and David to be true and loyal to each other David is now anointed for the third time. The City of David ".â- \nd the king and Iiis men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites The same is the city of Dav- id." The Jebusites felt so secure within their citadel that they boasted a garrison of the blind and lame could hold it. Nevertheless, the city was taken, and from that time on is often called in the Scrip- tures the city of David. The Stronghold Is Taken ".\nd David said on that day, whosoever smiteth The Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and smite the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul. Wherefore they say, there are the blind and the lame; he cannot come into the house." David bids the men show no mercy to the scoffing Jebusites. The reference to the word "gutter" possibly means the way the citadel was to be scaled. The besiegers were to enter by either by some water- worn gully in the rock or through a subterranean channel which had been constructed to supply the fortress with water. David Grew Greater ".\nd David dwelt in the strong- hold, and called it the city of Dav- id. .\nd David built round about from Millo and inward. .\nd David • axed greater and greater; lor Je- hovah, the od of hosts was with him." So "David waxed greater and greater'. How could it be other- wise since the 'Lord God of Hosts was with him'? To have the Lord with us is to be sure of growth, progress and victory. During August Most Birds Take Holiday This is vacation time for most birds according to ornithologists of the Royal Ontario Museum. Their family responsibilities arc over for the yeaer and the hard work of food-hunting is made easy by the annual peak of the crop of insects, seeds and berries. Even the business of singing is largely suspended. .Mthough most birds are obliged to grow a new suit of feathers in .\ugust, this can be accomplished while loafing. By autumn they will be dressed in fresh new attire and fortified for the long trek southward by a reserve layer of fat beneath the Pears In Canning Schedule , 0M ^^^ â- :â- â- â- 'â- --â- â-  1 ^^^^^^^â- Mju^HH^ K^riBJl \ ^^ ^ "^"fl^l 1 JH ^^^^^^^^^^I^^^^^^^HHniiii^Mfl'ir^?'" ^^^' "^ '^^^Hmn^^^^^^r ir"'~ '^H ^^^^^^HPS^&^^ ^ ^>3!9^V KHF J Wi% ^^^Bi^H^Btfl^lH^Bdyi '^^^^j^flk ^^^ -* * J-.P'^^^ ^^ ^'"^M â-  1 K^^ y \ - 1^ ^^*^ll ^^.

By that I mean it is raining â€" but I Don't mean we are taking the day off and going places, although it is on just such a day as this that farmers sometimes take their fa- milies to the city for a long delayed shopping tour. Or, if there were an Exhibition to go to â€" and gas to go with â€" this ii the sort of day that would find hundreds of farm people Toronto-bound; trailing children around from place to place in the rain. Or, as I heard one wo- man say who refused an invitation to go to the city with her farmer- nephew â€" "I didn't go because the only time he ever goes anywhere is when it is too wet to get around in comfort". 1 am afraid that is -!1 too true. But listen, ladies, therf is a remedy you know. Let me whisp- er in your ear. . . learn to drive the family car yourself then, if you can arrange to spare the time, you don't have to wait for a wet day to go places. « « • However, for those who Stay at home, rainy weather has its advan- tages. It gives one a chance to catch up with the odd jobs â€" jobs that have been left "until the crop is in.' This last week we have been drawing in, and, with ""Commando' help, we got a lot of work done. Two more days and all our crop would have been safely under cov- er. But now... well, when we fin- ish harvest depends on the weather- man. • • * I like "Farm Commando" help. I like them, not only for the work they do but because they are in- teresting. I hke to hear them talk. . to learn something of their way of life. . . to hear their opinions. . . and I find there is always something we can learn from every one of them. Yes, I like strangers. We had a young fellow here the ot'ner day â€" a visitor, not a "Commando'' and I happened to notice he had a good size tattoo on one arm. I don't like tattoo marks but I have always been curious about them â€" how they were done and WHY anyone should want to be decorated so grotesquely. Walter was quite ready to tell me all I wanted to know. He and three of his chums, when they were around eighteen, thought it would be fun to be tat- toed. They found it wasn't much fun getting it done. The tattoo ar- tist first drew a design on the skin. This he followed with an electric needle, dipped in ink made for that purpose. The needle popped up and down like that of a sewing machine â€" pricking all the time. The whirr of the needle, the sight of dye and blood together was hard on the sto- mach. Two boys were sick, a third fainted, the fourth stuck it out. But the job was finally finished. Arms were stiff and swollen for a week. Then the scab dropped off and each boy had an arm to show for the rest of his life with the im- print of an indelible design â€" weird but undoubtedly clever. East Side, West Side? Where Is Luftwaffe? BBC broadcasts to Europe re- cently included a story of a Ger- man officer who surrendered only two days after he had arrived in Normandy from the Eastern Front. .\sked why he had been so will- ing to give himself up, he said: "In Russia we were told that the Luftwaffe w-as in the West. "In Normandy we are told that the Luftwaffe is in the East. I can't stand that sort of trickerv." "Threw away my harsh laxatives'* "Out they went, all haish embarrassing purgatives.
