That doesn't mean that she no longer loved him, for she did. She loved him for what he really was and not for what she imagined him to be, and that is the best kind of love. 8o she no longer flattered him Now Peter had found some one who did fiatter him, and because he loved to be flattered he fancled himself in Jove with the flatterer. You know those who love to be flattered seldom know that they are being flattered. They sccept all the nice things said about them as being rightly theirs, and the more they are flattered the more they want to be flattered.

VERY year the Autumn erop of chrysanthemums is just a bit more dazzling than the year ‘before. Some new and fancy' twist to the quills of the great greenhouse blossoms, some new shade of russet or maroon or old gold or orange or copper, has been bred into the “mums” in the last 12 months of tirelesg work by the commercial and -.mnlnr | breeders, and new labels t there is, after all, something new under the sun. ‘There are more new names than new ehrysanthemums. Many of my old friends among mum. varieties seem to to have changed thelr aliases, and }-G"u. let us say, the “General Grant® of yesteryear becomes the “General Pershing” of the new chrys- anthemum shows. (I am using an im- -ftnlry case.) Even in very well reg- ted shows & good deal of rechris- tening occurs, from the American pas- | sion_for novelty or the semblance of | novelty and because such a fashion- able flower as the chrysanthemum must pot, even in its labels, go out of fashion. The fashion in' chrysanthemums, at | the shows and among the breeders, has | | | | | informal and conversational; the latter st | haven’t anything to offer at present. him that she had the softest eyes he ever had looked into. That was be- cause it was w long since he had really looked into the eyes of littie Mrs. Peter Then, too, Molly said such nice things to him. She tol him how hand- some he was and led him to believe that she thought him the bravest and most wonderful pe she had ever met. 1t tickled his va He Jiked it + He wanted more of it 8o it came about that Peter fanc himself in love In love with Mo of the Oid Pasture Yes, sir, that s just what Peter did. Of cqgese, he knew he shouldn't 7 love with anybody but Mrs. Peter, but he was sure he was “I can't help it." sald he 1o himself “I just can’t help it Of course, he could have helped it by staying away from the Old Pasture, but | this he didn't do. He made all sor of excuses for going up there. “Of course.” said he, "I only want to help | her. The Old Pasture is & dangerous | place unless you know it as I do, and | it ‘she is really going to live there she | ought to be shown sll the safest places | and where the best food is to be found | and how to keep out of the way of Old | Jed Thumper. It I didn't know al | these things it would be different. But | I do know and I feel that I ought to show her. She hasn't any one to look | after her and it would be dreadful if | anything should happen to her just | because she didn’t know her way about | It really is my duty to see that she is | properly looked after, My, how soft her eyes are!” | "All this he said to himself. You may be sure he took care not to say any- thing of the kind to little Mrs. Peter In fact, he never even mentioned the fact that Molly was living up in the Old Pasture | "S8he wouldn't understand,” thought | he. “She might even be jealous. I am afraid that she wouldn't believe that all |1 want to go up there for is to be of | help. 1 feel 3t is my duty. It is, the duty of every one to help every one else when opportunity offers. If every- | body did this, what & wonderful place |the Great World would be Peter sighed and had a vision of soft eves, So it came about that Peter x.pmm[ his days dozing in the dear old Briar | Patch and dreaming of soft eves. With the coming of the Black Shadows to cover the Green Meadows with a blan- ket of soft dusk he would slip away the first change, headed for the Old Or- chard or the Green Forest.
