Probably she is at last revealing her true self. Marriage maternity develop a woman's natural tendencies, often; do not say this is always the case. She is at her best or worst in a few years after her wedding. Woman is highly artificial when first in love. She paints the lilly and rouges the rose. Her temper is sweet under ‘stress, and if selfish, she forgets herself in “him.” Her artifices are not intended to deceive. As well blame the moon for its halo on a misty night or the western sky for | tts glory under a@ setting sun, These are bits of nature, and one may mean rain tomorrow and the other fair weather. It is just so with the startling if transient loveliness which girl puts on when @ man comes a-wooing. Unfortunately the man believes her atmosphere to be permanent, when, in fact, its glories foretell a change in love's barometer. ; i is nese bride — keeps her artistic instinet for drama alive, who preserves romance of married li ont Tyo stellar Sy f d life by constant Hlow was the body of John Witkes Booth identified?

The Twins met Rubadub, fairyman, and told him what had happened, “We went to nee the wizard of the Dingle Deli just as you advised,” said Nick, “but we've only had bad luck.” “Bad luck!" exclaimed “How's that?” “Well, we did just what he told us when we asked him how we could get the Fairy Queen's wand back, but every ‘time we did what he told Us we got into trouble.

But the longer they stayed the sterner I felt, and the more ready to deal with them when they would come back. “The minutes slipped by, and I guess the children saw that trouble was brewing, for their restlessness gave place to a walt ing calmness. “J shouldn't wonder if some prominent Tacoma men will re- member about this if they happen to hear the story; there were @ lot of them in that school, “Well, the teacher they had all disliked so had been too strict, used to lift the children up by their ears and do all sorts of cruel things.

I looked at it, sized up its hurting quality and my power to use it and made my | decision, At the end of a long hour the two boys came slowly sauntering in, as if they were easy in their minds and enjoying a stroll, I waited till they had set the bucket down, then before they had,time to realize what I was going to do, I gave them both a good sound thrashing with the long hazel switch. No, they didn’t resist. And I had no more trouble with discipline. I think it's all in the way you do a thing. “Now, the real point to this story is the hero-villian stuff. You remember, Well, that very biggest boy who got whipped learned his lesson of obedience so well that he has spent a good long life making other folks obey the law, Only very recently he was put on the retired list of Tacoma’s police force.
