F r r i \ i PAGE TWO Old David Strang moved slowly back and forth behind the letter boxes, now and agair appearing at the lit- tle window he had just opened. He handed out the mail with a smile that sometimes lightened a heavy burden and sometimes set a light heart all atune, For David Strang took a per- sonal interest in each letter, post card and paper. Suddenly his brow con- tracted. A shadow of some deep feel- ing fluttered across his fact as Carlos Judd shambled up to the window. “Got anything 'sides the paper?” the man asked hopefully. Silently David wen* to Judd's box and took out a paper. A letter slipped from the folds of the paper into a crevice made by a jutting drawer, Da- 'vid left it where it fell, “Nothing but the paper,” he said, handing it out. “Nothing from John?" “That i3 all,” said David, and there was no smile lighting his face. “Might 'a knowed It,” growled Judd. | “I need a little money. I want Jetson ter make me some iron spokes. I can make some wheels as good as new, if I have some new spokes ter put in.” David's eyes narrowed. “Oh, give it up, Carlos.” “Well, [-—-guess—not! I'd have the meatest machine around here if John'd send mo some money. He promised to send me some and he could do it as well as not—yer know he could. But that's all you get outen children now- adays.” He turned with an interroga- tive glance toward a man standing near, Half an hour later David put out the lights and closed the post office. He shook the door to try the lock. Then hig hand sought the inside pock- et of his coat. Judd's letter was there. “It's an offense against the gov- ernment and a sin,” he muttered. “The Lord help me!” When he reached home he smug- gled the letter inio a drawer of the big dresser and locked the drawer. All night, In his fitful sleep, he dreamed of it, and his waking thought was of it. In the morning he smug- gled it out of the drawer to take it to the office, and he meant to glve it to Judd. Again, toward closing time, Judd came {n, “Any mail?” “None tonight,” said David, “Humph,” grunted Judd. “There’s that auto-mo-beel, there ain't any bet- ter in town, if only I had some good, | strong iron spokes ter put in the! wheels. Dut, laws, yer can't get any- thing In this town less yer plank down the cash furst thing." i “Well, I'll tell you,” plunged David, | his face white and tense, “I'll tell you what it 18, Carlos, automobiles, espe- olally old ones, are too much of a lux- ury for poor folks. You'd better sell the iron In it and get yourself some clothes, Carlos Judd turned a wrathful glance upon the postmaster, “You're the same pesky sort of a human being that Lucy Judd i{s.

In the morning he brought it back again, and for a week David carried the letter to the post office in the morning and at night he took it home, And every day Judd came to ask for And every day David be- came more harassed and oppressed. Then just at noon one day, when the post office was deserted save for David, a little woman, poorly clothed and frail, came through the door- way. “l guess there ain't anything, is there, David?” she despaired, squint- ing ulong the line of boxes. “Yes,” emitted David, with dry lips, “there is. I've been waiting a week for you. It's an offense against the could put me in prison, if you let him see the date of this letter.” » “He never will,” vowed Lucy Judd softly. Her eager eyes were intent upon David as he drew from his pock- et the letter, I knew that the letter was from John, and I knew that there was money in it. John ought to send his money to you, Lucy.” David looked out tenderly upon the little woman. “I wasn't golng to give it to Carlos to waste and you suffering for things. I thought you'd never come down and I was afraid to take it to you. So I've lled—lied every day about it to Carlos. I never was wicked ltke this before, but I couldn't do any other way, Lucy, and you must write to John and tell him.” Lucy Judd reached up a thin, worn hand and laid it upon David’'s fingers gripping the shelf. “Ye're only good and noble to me, David. It worn't a real sin. It was just the goodness of your heart out- doing the thoughts of your head, Da- vid. If it hadn't been for you, I'4 never seen a cent of that money, and I—I want things so, David—so many things that 1 nced just to live.” The Tennis Girl, Every summer girl plays tennis— that is if she is an outdoor girl, and the summer girl of 1914 1s a lover of the great outdoors. In the morning, when she first gets up, she puts on her tennis togs, stmple linen clothes made with an eye to comfort as well as style. The tennig skirt must be short, and it must be full to allow of a free stride, and this season, when plaits are so much in vogue, a plaited skirt either of whito linen is just tho thing to wear on the court. The blouse to accompany this gkirt must be made to fit loosely, so that the arms may have full swing.

If you haven't time to make the child an embroidered sash, why not allow her to embroider it herself; that is, if she is ten years old or more? It is surprising what children can do in the embroidery line * if you but give them an opportunity. Get a piece of old ribbon to give them their first lesson. This old piece will make them an everyday sash, and when the lesson has been learned, let ¢ the child make a sash for Sunday-go- to-mectin’-time. The buttonhole stitch is quite simple, and the ends may be done in that, stitch, straight or scalloped. The raw edges of the ribbon may be left un- adorned, however, with perfect pro- priety, if preferred. blue, why not embroider it in a darker or lighter shade of blue or in gold? Any of these combinations would be effective. French knots are the easiest things imaginable to make when once the knack is caught, A dark blue or dark green sash, em- broidered with sprays of French- knotted goldenrod in old-gold silk, would be beautiful. | There is an odd fringe that can be bought for its novelty, It is composed of silk fringe and wooden beads, some of the beads being round and some being long and egg-shaped. A bead fringe also comes for sashes; but this is not 80 good, because the children crush the beads by forgetting to tuck their sashes out of the way before sitting down. Do let the little one try making a sash instead of the everlasting cen- terpiece, DAINTY COMBING SACQUE In Square Form, of White and Colored Batiste—Simple Directions for Its Construction. A dainty combing sacque that can bs easily and quickly made is in the form of a square, with a small circle cut out at the center. Materfals required for it are a yard of white batiste and three-fourths of a yard of colored batiste. Cut a 36-inch square from the white batiste. Cut a piece out for the back. Make a slit from the neck to the end of one corner, this to serve as the opening in the front. This leaves a point coming directly down the back. vide into strips three and a half inches Take the colored batiste and di- wide. Join the strips together and sew around the edges of the sacque, fncluding the neck and up the front.
