Then ho glanced nt the clock nnil put his pouch hnck In Ills pocket, unopened. Stretching his nrms nhovc his liciul, he yawned. "Gosh, Jenny, guess I'll turn In. I've hnd sort of n hard day nt the shop, nnd It's Inter thnn I thought. You mind?" Ills wife, over her bnsket of mend ing, shook nn Indifferent hend. "Night, Henry. Don't forget to wind the clock nnd set the iilnrm. I'll ilnlsh here and then rend a spell to rest me." Silence settled on the Crnmpton household n silence that lasted Ion ' after Jenny hnd placed a skillful patch on a worn tnbleeloth, had darned sev cral pairs of Henry's socks, anil had read her spell In Henry's dlscnrded jnngnzlno. .For as she picked up the hook whoro It lay open on the lloor beside her husbnnd'a chair, n glaring title caught her eye: "Have you kept your Jiusbnnd's love?" Powerfully as a jpokon accusation, It rlvctted and chal lenged her attention, and sho rend the Indictment which followed with a breathless fascination. Then, when she hnd finished the article she laid it down with a deeply Indrawn sigh. Why, thnt writer had drawn Henry and licrl For wasn't Henry getting un ron.nntlcnlly on In yonrs, and wasn't sho middle-aged and run-down-nt-hcol and unattractive? And hadn't Henry long ago gotten over showing any of those Intlmntc little signs of affection which women prize,? The occasional tender word the kiss at the door be fore going nwny In the morning the comradely pat on the shoulder now and ngnln? And there wns aa warning tacked on at the end of the nrtlcle. "Ho care ful," It read, "that your husband, In a sort of second youth, doesn't look for his happiness elsewhere. If ho shows signs of sprucing up himself. Tinmlndful of your nppearance, be ware.!" Absent-mindedly she followed In Henry's footsteps, mnklng sure that doors were locked and bolted. Then she climbed the- stair and crept Into bed. only to Ho there for ninny wakeful, planning hours. The next day sho experienced a sharp and sudden pang when Henry loft the house without even saying good-by. Lnte that afternoon, bundle-laden, wenry, yet withal exhilarated, Jenny returned from tho city. Her feet dragged a bit, but In her eyes wns the light of was It battle or merely fem inine anticipation? Shut In her bed room, sho unwrapped her purchases and spread them upon tho bed. Then site did vnrlous things to her hair, dabbed a bit of powder on her nose, put a. Polish on linger nails that had been recently manicured, and, llnnlly, she arrayed herself from head to foot ln.attrtf3tlfn;t"Wa8 brand new, rather expensive,, nnd extremely up-to-date. sshc" waited for her husband on the little porch the minutes pnssed slowly. One suburban car nfter an other stopped nt the corner and dis gorged Its passengers. Still no Henry. Arrived nn In-between rush-hour car, which let out only two women nnd a man In gray. Jenny bit her lip nervously. This was even later thnn usual. Why why that mnn In gray was stopping at the gate. Ho hud swung It open wns coming up tho path! Why, It wns Henry I Yes, It was Henry In n new gray snlt, new hat, new shoes. And even a new lift to his walk, n new set to his shoulders. Jaunty, almost. Yet his ex pression was thnt of n man who has leen caught red-handed In crime. It set badly with his air of rejuvena tion, . Suddenly thnt expression changed. .Amazement, bewilderment, Incredulity ehnsed one another across his counte nance. Jenny felt Impelled to explana tion. Then sho would demand the tamo from him. "I I rend an nrtlcle," she Bald, Just a bit defiantly, "about keeping your Tookp to prolong your husband's love. ut you, oh, Henry, what raado you?" , .Snry drow her gently Into tho hall within, his arm exerting a tender pres sure. "Why, Jenny dear," ho said. "I read that sarao article, and decided that 'what's sauce for tho goose,' you now, 'Is snuco" for tho gander!"' ncnryl" Jenny's voice fairly sang tho word. "Wasn't It odd that we both" "It sure was," Interrupted her hus band, hastily. "It suro was." But considering that Henry had taken pains to drop his mngazlno open nt thnt particular spot, perhaps It was n't so very odd, nfter nil! Niagara Falls. John Thomas, a small lad of Bed ford, Ind., en routo to Join tho father at Rochester, N. Y., had been told they would see Niagara falls before reaching Rochester.

(Prepared by the Nntlotml OeoRrnphlc Society, ..anhlriKton, D. C.) Lnfayette National park, on Mount Pesert Inland In Maine, Is ono of the latest parks to bo created by the fed eral government, and Is the only na tional purl; In the Kust. Hut If young In Us stutus us u park, It Is physically one of the oldest parts of America. Its granite mountains were stnndlng out against the Ice and frost, tho rains nnd waves, millions of jours before the Rockies and the other ranges of the West had risen above tho prehis toric seas that covered that part of tho continent. It Is the peak of the Atlantic coast-line of the United States the one spot on the eastern coast south of the St. Lawrence where what may truly be culled mountains meet tho sea. It Is appropriate that the national park on Mount Desert Island should lie named for a great Frenchman, for tho French played an Important part In the earliest history of the Island. It was tho first land to be npprouched and named "Isle ties Monts Deserts" In the earliest recorded voyage of exploration made along the coast of Mnlno to the east of Kennebec. Cham plain sailed down this unimown coast In September, 100 1, passing Isle nnd headland until he saw rising boldly uhead the range of the Mount Desert hills with their bare rock peaks and deep, Ice-gouged, dividing vnllcys. Feel ing that he hud come upon something worthy of closer examination, he nn chored in what hns since been called Frenchman's bay, a line body of water that lies between the Island nnd the shore to the east. By making friends with the Indians, Champlaln lnld the foundations tho following day for the French colony which was later to oc cupy the Island. The fame of the beautiful Islo des MontB Deserts wns carried back to France, but It wns not until 1013 thnt an opportunity was found to settle there the proposed colony. Tho little ship which brought to Mount Desert Its load of colonists with their seed grain, food supplies, Implements and live-stock, has been called "tho French Mayflower." The voyagers landed on tho east coast, not far, perhaps, from tho site of Bar Harbor. Later they rnoved to the shores of a cove on the south side of the Island. Unfortunately, "the French May flower" was not destined to bo respon sible for a permanent settlement as was Its British counterpart. After tho colony had lived only a few yenrs, n British fleet camo and wrecked It. Permanent settlement wns first begun from tho Amerlcnn colonies In 1701. Entire Island Not in Park. Mount Desert island lies off the Mnlno coast In about the latitude of Minneapolis and St., Paul, and Ls some 300 miles northeast' of New York. It has many Indentations, but may bo roughly described as 15 miles long and 12 miles wide. It Is connected with tho mainland by n bridge utiliz ing an Island In tho narrows. Lafayette park does not embrace the entire Island. Tho town of Bar Harbor, an Important summer resort, Is situated on tho eastern shore of tho Island, and numerous prlvutely owned estutes and resort villages nestle In coves along the coast. Tho park does contain, though, the greater part of Mount Desert's outstanding feature, tho range of granlto mountains, In places rising uboe 1,000 feet, which stretch across the Island. Excellent ocean-sldo drives are all about this rugged peak; and over Its hills and along its sheer cliffs and smooth, donittB hava been constructed paths and Iron ladders In order thnt ' tho' cllinbor may reach Us vantage points 'Ad nj&jr its views of the mingled meuatala tad sea scenery, a co$lna II MsZfA Hon seldom found In the cast. On the south shore Is tho only true Atlantic fiord on United States territory, Somes sound. Among the hills nre n number of narrow sparkling lakes, lin ing basins scooped out of tho rock by tho powerful grinding force of gin clers ages ago. All lovers of birds nnd plant life can Had an Interest In Lafayutto Na tional park aside from Its beautiful scenery and the climbing It uffords. It ls wonderfully lltted to be a great nesting and feeding ground for both land and water birds. This ls true, too, of course, of the adjoining Islands and const. So numerous ore the in dentations that tho tide washes fully li.GOO miles of shore from Cnsco Bay north to Canada. All along Hie coast nre to be found extensive lints and salt marshes, Hooded twice u day by tides. At Mount Desert these tides llso 12 foot or more; nnd each leaves deposited on tho lints of 'i the; Island much Hunting murine llfcy nnd con tributes to the growth' of. ll(dvege table nnd anlmnl forms. Iti tills" way Nature really sets n gigantic table for the birds. Dird Life Sadly Depleted. But unfortunately private control of many of the Islands nnd const Huts, nnd more or less promiscuous shoot ing nnd nest destruction have greatly depleted the bird life along the Mnlno coast until now only u pitiable rein iiunt ls left of the ilocks observed by early explorers. One of the results looked for by the creation of the La fayette park and the extension which It Is believed It will undergo, Is the protection of bird life, nnd the gradual restoration of larger Ilocks. This matter of bird protection at Mount Desert Is made easier by the fact that perhaps no other area In the northeast In the line of Important mi grations is better fitto to grow a great variety of fruiting plants for bird food. On the exposed portions of the Islands, both headlands and bogs, nre found numerous species of plants typical of the regions of the north, Including tho Arctic. And in sheltered nooks nre scores of plants that there reach their extreme north ern limits plants of the southern coastal zone. Finally the soil types arc varied 60 that both plants of acid and of basic areas thrive. Nearly eery food plant, then, known to birds In northern or central regions, either grows or enn bo grown on Mount Desert Island. Just as Lafayette National park dif fers from tho western parks In sur roundings nnd typo of scenery, so it differs In origin. When tho era of national park creation come, the fed eral government owned vast stretches of mountain nnd plain and valley In the West, nnd wns nble to select that which was most picturesque and mere ly designate Itns public "playgrounds. But nil public lnnds In the East had long slnco pnssed Into private hands, nnd for several decades there wcro no eastern parks. The unique beauty of Mount Desert lslnnd led persons fnmll lar with It to feel that It would bo (ho ideal eastern park. An association of private Individuals was formed nnd trnct nfter trnct of tho rugged hills of the Island were purchased. These wero tendered to tho nntlonnl government In 1010, nnd In 1010 congress pnssed an act accepting the land and creating the park. It is contemplated that other tracts will bo added from tlrao to tlmo untll eventually n largo part of the mountainous Island will bo a federal reservf Jon. Hatty Words, Words spoken rapidly aro apt to come from the throat, rather than from tho heart nnd mind. AtchUon uiooe. COUNjCIL. PKOCEEDINGS lied Cloud, Ncbr., June C, 1922 Ma, oroj!
