It.) DOES YOUR CHILD DO WELL IN SCHOOL. It was a blow to tho family pride for the Hardy. when young Johnny failed so utterly to make ttood ln Ichool. The Hardy: were smart people. John, Br., was . township trustee; Hrs. Hardy, In ex-school teacher. What law of heredity or power of en- vironment could be operating to put little John in the "dub" clan? Fifty paces away stood . billboard with circus pictures on it. Idly throw- intt stones " the elephant as he stud- ied over little John’s report card, Rudy landed one right on the tip sf the animal', trunk. "Try that, Johnny," he cried. "Hit the elephant right on the tip of his menu. liko your dad did." "How d'ye know that’s his meant? Bow d'yo know It’s an elephant, landing way off like that?" demurrod Johnny. In: gone within thirty foot -of the billboard. That made the diagnosis. His dull- neu was explained. That very after- Boon ' hnny was sent to the ocullat. When he started to school again on tho following Monday it was a new John who took the "at in the "dub" row. And it was a new John who Jumped with astonishing speed and agility over row after row until he ruched the “king" row. Spectacles had wrought the miracle. Properly tttted lenses had opened the windows of a new world for little John Hardy. This is no uncommon incident. In- telligent parents often take it for granted that their children would com- plain if they needed tsrtlfleut1 help for their vision. But children who have always had a certain range of vision, children whose eyes are impaired by antigens-an, do not realize that they are under a handicap. They are see- k. with just the same accuracy that they have always seen; how are they ttt know that the object that is no- thing much but a blur to them is clear and distinct to others. They make no complaint. because their conception of good vision does not lead them to ex- pect anything better. There is no greater tragedy in our schools to-day than the child who is weighed down by the stigma of dullness, when his real trouble lies in tho fact that he .nnot see the letters and figures that are placed on the blackboard by the teacher, or has diffleu1ty reading the books that are supposed to be the Decree of his information.

"A wet man makes too much noise," he said, and besides, there was the off-chance that the current would be too much for him. So he moved up stream to look for a bridge. In ten minutes he found one, a new- made thing of trestles, broad enough to take transport wagons. It was guarded, for he heard the tramp of a sentry, and as he pulled himself up the bank he observed a couple of long wooden huts, obviouis1y some kind of billets. These were on the near side of the stream, about a dozen yards from the bridge. A door stood open and a light showed in it, and from within came the sound of voices. . . ' Peter had a sense of hearing like a wild animal, and he could detect even from the confused gobble that the voices were German. As he lg, and listened some one' came over t e bridge. It was an ofh- cer, for the sentry saluted. The man disappeared in one of the huts. Peter; had struck the billets and repairing. shop of a squad of German suppers.

The real officer must have appeared on his heels, and the sentry’s doubts had been stirred. A whistle was blown and, looking back, Peter saw lanterns waving in the gale. They were com- 'utout to Jootftr the dupligate. _ he stood still for a second, and no- ticed the lights spreading out south of the road. He was just about to dive oft it on the north aide when he was aware of a difficulty. On that side a steep bank fell to a ditch, and the bank beyond bounded a big ftood. He could see the dull ruffle of the water under the wind. On the road itself he would soon be caught; south of it the search was beginning; and the ditch itself was no place to hide, for he saw a lantern moving up it. Peter dropped into it all the same and made a plan. The side below the road was a little under- cut and very steep. He resolved to plaster Himself against it, for he would be hidden from the road, and a. searcher in the ditch would not be likely to explore the unbroken sides. It was always a maxim of Peter's that the beat hiding-place was the worst, the least obvious to the minds of those who, were 1ttokiryrfo1rypu., _ _ _ He waited till the lights both in the road and the ditch came nearer, and then he gripped the edge with his left hand, w ere spine stones gave him Then rose a noise of wheels and horses from the opposite direction. Michael and the delayed wagons were approaching. .They dashed up at a great pace, driven wildly, and for one orrid second Peter though they were going to spill into the ditch at the very spot where he was concealed. The wheels passed so close to the edge that {by 'It,ttu,rgt,f, his flr'ii,'i, Some- o y shou an order, an they pull- ed up a yard or two nearer the bridge.

After that he kept a wary eye on the howitzertr, and was [thankful when he got out of their area {op to the slopes up the hill. Eyre-ya: He left the road at the first chance and took to the broken country. The ground was now rising towards a spur of the Palatuken, on the far slope of which were the Turkish trenches. The night had begun by being pretty near- ly as black as pitch; even the smoke from the shell 'gedtyt which is often visible in dar ness, could not be seen. But as the wind blew the snow- clouds athwar-t the sky patches of stars came out. Peter had a compass, but he didn't need to use it, for he had a kind of "feel" for landscape, a spe- cial sense which is born in savages and can only be tated, after long experience by the w ite man. I be- lieve he could smell where the north lay. He had settled roughly which part of the line he would try, mercly be- cause of its nearness to the enemy. But he might see reason to vary this, and as he moved he began to think that the safest place was where the shelling was hottest. He didn't like the, notion, but it sounded sense.
