both public and the systematic pledge
giving were very gratifying.
We are repeating our special appeal
to every member and friend in the
city. Give as you never gave before.
Ten thousand dollars must be raised

The little brown cottage had four oc
cupants. a stout and comely matron
whom the neighbors called Mother
M- and her three daughters, Es
ther, Elspeth and Jean. They were
one and all. tall and most divinely fair.
Theirs was the straight, virile beauty
In the wilds, clear-eyed and goddess
like. And they were one and all de
liciously youthful. In fact Esther
was twenty-one, Elspeth twenty, and
Jean seventeen, thick braids still down
Aer hack.
Esther was the tallest and the most
beautiful.
Elspeth was slim and always clad
In black. In memory of a lover, war
kllled, with tender gray eyes, over
flowing alwnys with love and kindli
ness; wide, smiling red lips; poor girl,
she hnd taught those lips to mile
again, with steady, pntlent resolution,
and a coronet of glossy chestnut
braids.
And Jean! Jean, her starry eyes
forever aglow, was the brightest ray
of Mother M-'s halo.
Each Sunday eve as Esther depart
ed after her week-end visit, stiff and
Starched, with a fall valise, Jean
would gaze at her with wistfulness
and whisper: "Oh. you are so fortu
nate, Essie.
It was on Monday. Jean would
never forget that epoch-making date!
It was stormy and Esther had con
cluded not to set forth until Tuesday.
Old Widow W- - was III of lum
bago. with not a soul to rare for her.
“Prepare a basket, and we will go
to her at once. No help Indeed!
Twas Widow W- made my wed
ding gown. I'll pay her in full for all
her kindliness,” declared the kindly
Mother M——, as she tied on her
bonnet.
And Jean, eager for the trip, obey
ed with alacrity.
The widow made comfortable, and
her mother securely Installed in the
humble abode. Jean resumed her ul
ster and catching up her empty bas
ket sped toward home.
Not a hundred feet from the wid
ow’s cottage, Jean, peering through
the thick fog, discerned an unfamiliar
object on the ground. She drew near
er. An enormous eagle? No, an air
plane! Jean observed It fascinated
ly. It was poised on one wing. The
rest was shattered. Then Jean stepped
back in wide-eyed horror. A still,
straight form beneath!
The man was not dend, no! “But
he was badly Injured,” said Doctor
B-as he bent over the boyish
white face on the pillow’. “Ducky that
the girl happemsl along and called
you, mother, else the lad might have
died.”
Jean, encouraged by his manner,
asked In a small, frightened voice, If
the patient could he moved to her own
home; explaining that there was
scarce room for the widow and her
attendant, much less for the aviator
and Jean, in the small cottage.
“We will see, we will see. Perhaps
when he is better.” smiled the doc
tor. and that ended It.
Jean ran home to tell her sisters the
news, while Mother M—— hovered
capably between the two patients.
Saturday. The aviator had been 111
for nearly a month. Esther arrived to
day for her weekly visit and John
It-, for that was the young man’s
name, was to be moved to the M
dwelling, there to convalesce.
At last he was sitting there In the
shabby old armchair, smiling up at her
with his funny, quirky grin.
“A penny for your thoughts, little
maid,” he said at last. Jean laughed
suddenly, and patted his hand.
"They were of you and Esther, dear
eagleman.” But his mind was far
away as he gazed out of the little win
DOW.
Esther came anti with her a strange
spirit of shattered pence that puzzled
and disturbed her youngest sister.
Poor little maiden, running to the
sweet shelter of the crowding mists,
fighting hack the sobs as she spoke to
the eerie white shadows that followed
her ever and anon: “But I love him, 1
love him! Why? I found him here in
the valley. You brought him to me.
Do not take him away! I love him!"
Thnt day and the day after Esfhei
was constantly at his side, smiling,
talking, attending him, her blue eyes
kindled at last.
And Jean, miserable little Jean, lay
sobbing In the cheerless loft. -But It Is
given to him who hath. So It was re
stored to her who had found and cher
ished. Jean, bidding farewell to het
sister Monday morning at the turn of
the stone-bordered path, said listless
ly: “Sister, how soon will you and the
eagleman be married?.” Esther stared
and laughed. "You mean John? Why,
the hoy Is only twenty-one. You silly
little sister! Why do you Hush and
start so, Jean?'
Jean paused solemnly. “Because
Love and Adventure have swooped
upon me from the W’est. Good-by, Es
sie.”
Then she ran Into the house.
John was sitting disconsolately by
the window. lie brightened as he
heard her soft footstep, und turning
saw her eager face.
“Jean, darling!” How naturally II
came from his lips. But she looked
surprised. He laughed, boyishly, hap
plly.
“Didn’t you know? I think th«
eagle has found his mate. What doei
she say. Jeannle?”
Jean burled her head In his blank
ets.
“His mate says—‘yes,’” she whls
pered.

Earthquakes in Italy.
Statistics gathered in Italy ‘hrov
chrow some light on the question oi'
the relative frequency of earthquakes
Dy day and by night, 't lias been al
leged that the supposed greater frc
quencv of nocturnal quakes is only
apparent, being due to the fact that
luiet conditions at night make the
shocks more readily perceptible. It
ippears, however, that considering
only those shocks which were so in
tense that they could not have es
caped notice ui any hour, 805 occurrei
during the 12 night hours.
