A ray of sunlight war Caroline moved into the little house, hag and baggage, and all summer long she played there. The furnish.. ines were a dolls' bed, bureau and table, and a little chair for herself. The thing that she valued most was a colored patchwork quilt that her grandmother had made at the age of eight. The quilt was always neatly spread on the dolls' hed, where it looked wry pretty with its pattern of red, white and green stars. tht rainy days Caroline sat snug in her little house and listened to the rain on the orchard leaves; on tine days she and the dolls had birds and bees for company, and now and then, a gray squirrel, which came peering‘ about, full of curiosity.

She 'went closer and looked carefully. The Ewing was red and green and white ,'in color, and it had a very familiar look. But the dolls were well content with the blue cheesecloth quilt; and all winter Caroline liked to think of a certain warm nest in the woods that she had helped to furnish. "There's your guilt," she said. "Now do stop scolding."' Then she went home and made her dolls in tufted blue quilt of cheese- cloth. When she next went to the woods only one corner of the patch- work quilt was to be seen. The third time she went even that had disap- peared. i One frosty day in November, when ithe nuts were rattling merrily to the Iground, Caroline ran down to the 'woods to gather chestnuts. The shortest way was through the orch- ard, for the best chestnut trees grew near the orchard he. When Caroline had pushed the quilt back into the hole she waved her hand to him. Her heart smote her. She remem- bered her sad feelings when she kat the quilt. "I can't take it away from him," she said. "He had tucked it into his house so nicely, and now he looks so and.” She was so pleased to find her treasure that she did not stop to wonder about it. But after she had run as far as the orchard a thought struck her. She crept softly back to the woods and hid behind a tree. Presently she saw something appear at the edge of the empty hole-some, thing gray, with two round black spots on it. It might have been " most any squirrel's face, but to Caro- line it looked very much like the face of Mr. Frisky Tail. 1 Caroline gave a little jump, caught hold of the bright object and Jerked it out of the opening. It was the long-lost patchwork quilt.' "I must take only a pocketful," she said to herself. "It wouldn't do to rob, Mr. Frisky Tail." When she came back an hour later the patchwork quilt was gone. Though she turned everything upside down, she could not find it. What could have happened to it? No one ever came to that spot except herself.

'"O Lord," she fhtally prayed, "make all the bad people good. And, God, it you can, please make all the good people nice." As a Special Favor. _ There had been a difrerenee ot opin- ion in the preachers family, and youthful Elizabeth thought that she had received the worst of it. So at prayer time she was resentful and um happy, but she went through her usual petitions. Even though it is morally right, it does not pay financially not to come and go with the needs of your neigh- bors. One ean't get along without neighbors very well, though some folks try to. Wait till you get sick and see how it works. This is what I like to hear a man say, and this one has signed three or four road improvement petitions that will cost him extra taxes but give him very little benefit: "Yes, I'll sign that petition. You fellows need a road. Some time I may want a road myself." l a road they did have use for, and they circulated a petition, they ex- peeted everyone to Sign for accom- modation. Yet the same farms want improved roads or ditches, and your farm helps to pay. It is only helping each other and distributing the cost over more years. I know of several farmers who refused to sign a atone road petition because they didn't have any use for a road at that point, or not much use. Yet later, when there was No matter whether we want to or not, we've got to consider the other fellows' improvements. In any work of this kind the tax that pays it is collected from farms in the county and township that are not benefited. In our neighborhood there is an open ditch that has to be cleaned every few years. So far we have arranged between us jointly to hire a surveyor to lay the job out and figure out the portion that each one of us is to clean out. And so far it has always been done. Either we do the actual work ourselves or we hire a ditcher to do it for us. There are some men who are benefited more than others, and some who could get along very well with no ditching done. Yet these fall in line, and we have a satisfac-l tory deal every time. l 1%rmais are often laid to be the most independent folks on earth. In reality we are that all right, but with the first syllable detached from that word. We're dependent. Not so far from here there is a "awsuit hanging ftre that has cost one wealth landowner about $10,000, and the suit is not yet settled. Many others concerned with the same suit are poorer by hundreds of dollars. Lawyers richer-yes. The ditch could have been dug many times over for the amount cf cash already spent. And there are dozens of similar cases all over the country. One man or a set of men may want a ditch cleaned or straightened up. Others do not see that it will benefit them any. and so they fight it. They admit that it will bencfit the community, but it would cost them, more than they would be burirfited.; Result-a fight. Later they may; want something of the same sort) done. Because the first crowd madei them pay for what they didn't want,! they expect to even things up. Re-i tMt-another fight. I To-night a neighbor was here with a. petition on a township school mat-i ter. So far as being a patron of the', school is concerned, I am not inter..) ested. Yet I signed the petition. I} know it will cost some money. Some; of my neighbors are doing the some] thing to-night. The time will ffl",i when we may want a petition signed} that will not interest the other fel,) lows. And we will expect them to sign it. It's a poor sport who won't use the golden rule after the other fellow used it first. Neighborhood Co-operation. Poor Father!

Ft But more important than any study ot models is the training and disciplin- ing of your own mind.

The greatest writer at the world. trom this point of view, said that the two main elements of style are precision and color. Color is the gift of God. But precision can be learned, and the way to learn it is to think out your subject clearly and accurately before you pull pen to paper.

Back and forth thr' disciples went, now having the com-! panionship of Jesus, and now going as', messengers to tell men that the Mes-l sigh had come. I St. Mark tells us that Christ or- dained the Twelve Apostles "that they should be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach" (St. Mark 3. 14). It must have been a denial as well as a joy when He sent them forth; a denial, in that He would be left without their compan- ionship, which was dear to him; a joy, in that they were to go out and proclaim the coming of the kingdom.) Our Lord in His humanity loved Riel companions (St. John 18, 1) and br:) aired to have them with Him as He preached and worked miracles. He} was lonely, He loved men, and that blessed fellowship which, since Chris-l tianity was established, has created} the church and human brotherhood,) was a part of His blessed work.
