Let's have a real picnic for wo in the woods, where the wild flowers grow.' " "Maybe they're so w ild they'll bite. But tomorrow's a holiday, and I'll try any drink once. We'll take our camera a Ion?, Where do we go?" "L'p the old Burhage Hill, in the state reservation. It's an hour by trolley and we save on fares." They started out early next day. but the conductor had such a habit of coming along every few minutes tor 0-ccnt tares tiiat an nour was a (Treat expense. "The street car company says they're losinir money. No wonder we were the only passengers no body can afford to ride in these lines now but the rich, and they have their motors." said Jack as they dis mounted at the state park gate. "We could have come here by taxi for half that cost." It was a good hour and a half climb up the rustic roadway to the top. 'Tretty steep, isn't it, honey?" asked Jill, as she sat down breath less. "Everything is nowadays. Sit still and I'll snap a picture of you." Soon tbey were high enough to get a view of the surrounding country. "Now that we're here what shall we do?" asked Jack, sitting down on a sharp rock hidden in the grass, and rising very rapidly. "Enjoy the scenery, pick the won- derful" wild flowers and delve into niliirc," and Jill was quite haughty. "You're an unromantic brute; would you rather cat? If so, run along to itonie sorinir and get some water. Here, use this pail we brought the lunch in." After a long while Jack returned with his pail full of water. "Where did you find the spring?" Jack breathed hard and admitted that it was way down the hillside. "Oh, Jack dear, it is all full of pollywogs and skippers 1 We'll have to eat without anything to drink. "Well, they're doing that all over the country," and Jack grinned sto ically as he mopped his brow. "I'm certainly hungry. You're got the luncfc all spread out. haven't you? It's a lovely lunch that friend chicken and layer cake and sand wiches and salad." As he picked up a sandwich he groaned. ' "Honey dear, the red ants and the black ants and whole darned family of uncles, ants and cousins have come here by the dozens! Look!" Jill was horrified! Every morsel of her lovely lunch was covered with the little insects. She had foolishly spread it out on the white tablecloth over the grass a quarter of an hour before, expecting Jack back any minute. "Never mind, honey," and Jack put his arm around her shoulder, as- the tears began to trickle down the long lashes. "We'll take some more pictures and go down the hill on the other side. I saw a roadside inn, with big electric signs." It was more than an hour before thev reached the inn. Jill was ashamed of their dirty, muddy, torn clotes, but too hungry to withstand the smell of food. The gaiter was quite condescend ing with the unkempt pair, until he heard Jack's order, and received an advance tip of a dollar to speed up the cook. It was barely another IS minutes before they had started on their dinner. You know how road side inn cooks break the speed laws! When the bill (and such a bill) was paid they left the inn, in the search for a railroad station. It was not far merely another mile and a half. When they finally reached home Jack raced for the shower bath, came down in his cool flannels, with his favorite pine and waited for Jill who had disappeared into the kitchen. "Could you eat something, dear? I left part of the lunch home, in the icebox." "Could I? That automobile inn dinner didn't satisfy my appetite it just deadened it. Now it's alive aeain." "What a horrible fizzle as a picnic, dear," and Jill was quite unhappy.! "Darling, it was a great success. We won't climb any more hills until j the prices of woodland picnics come : down. But this one proves to me what a picnic life is for me every day in the week I And right here in our own little dovecote." Oh, you darling boy," gurgled Jill, hugging him. ''You'd have been a great poet if you hadn't decided to be a great husband. I love you so much now that I've seen your beautiful nature, that I can hardly cat!" "Same here, honey. By the way, I w onder if there is any more potato salad, with those wonderful onions in it. in the icebox?" (Copyright. 1911 Thompion Ftator By RUBY M. AYKES, Ml- kMui ciiArnK'xLiv.

She went upstairs wear. i!y. too kick at heart to think, or to frel very much. She knew onlv that she longed desperately to be alone, so that khe turned, with a frown of annoyance, when one of .the nurses raine from Dorothy's room and spoke to her. "ilisi Manvert would very much like to tee you, if you could spare tier a moment, she saut. N'inette flushed crimson, "if iss Manvers! I please tell her" She broke off. "Very well; 1 win come in a moment. After"all. why not? What was the use of shirking a fresh stab of pain now when all her life she had got to carry the deadly wound in her heart. She took off her hat, and w ithout a glance at herself in the glass, went back to Dorothy's room. The fire had died down now. but a pink-shaded lamp had been lit some little distance from where the girl sat, and the first thought that went through Ninettes mind was: "She looks just the same just the same!" Then she saw that Dorothy's face was almost hidden by bandages and a wave of pity touched her heart as she went forward. "I am glad you are better," she said gently. She sat down on the sofa beside her,' "You haven't been to see me be fore." Dorothy said. "No." Ninette hardly knew how to answer. "I thought if you haJ wanted me you would have asked for me. I thought perhaps you were not well, enough to see anyone ex cept Mr. Nothard." There "was a little silence; then Dorothy said slowly: "I thought you always called him Tetcr!'" Ninette tried to laugh. ' "Oh, no! Why, I don't know him verv well! What made vnn think 1 did?" . , , . .. . Dorothy shrugged her shoulders. "I thought you must, seeintr what has happened." Ninette s slender figure stiffened. "I don't understand. Wrhat do you mean.' And what has happened?' she said quietly. I only mean," Dorothy went on in the same smooth voice, which could hide so much spite and bitter ness, "that if you don't know him very well it seems rather odd that he should be paying Mrs. Cranford to have you live with her! Of course, Peter's a dear, and I know he doesn't mind in the least, but all the same " Ninette rose to her feet. She was quite white, but she spoke calmly enough. I can see you are trying to insult me, of course, but I am afraid that I must ask you to explain, . all the same. What do you mean, exactly? That Mr. Nothard is paying for me to be here? My father left me enough money to live with Mrs. Cranford, and" Dorothy laughed. "Oh, that's only what they let you think I" she said airily. "As a matter of fact, Peter told me himself that your father would have left nothing for you at all by the time his cred itors had been paid, and that as he looked upon you as a sort of moral responsibility, he felt it his duty to make it up to you as best he could." There was a breathless silence: then without a word Ninette turned and walked out of the room. Peter had gone and Mrs. Cranford sat by the fire, reading. "I see by the papers, my dear, that " she began, then broke off. "Why, whatever is the matter?" She rose to her feet in alarm. "Is Dorothy worse? Why, Ninette" Ninette asked a hoarse question: "Is it true that I have no money and that Peter Nothard is paying you to keep me here?" She saw the flush rise to Mrs. Cranford's face and die down again as she tried to answer: "My dear child, what are you talk ing about? Peter " Ninette stamped her foot; she was almost beside herself now. "Is it true? Is it true?" Mrs. Cranford broke into helpless weeping and Ninette drew a long breath. .

What a record I She becan to laugh helplessly, but its hoarse sound in the silent room frightened her, and she put her hands over her ips with a quick little gesture of repression. What could she do now? Where could she go? Looking backward on the past years, it seemed that she had alwavs been searchine for a home, for some one who wanted her. and never tmding them. for a wild moment her thoughts turned to Arthur Delay. He cared lor her. even if his love was a disr honor. Why not go to him? For an instant she was tempted, then she put the thought from her. He was nothing to her. Such a step would not have the sanctity of love. At the thought of Tetcr the hot tears tarted into her eyes, but she blinked them away resolutely. It was not safe to think of Peter now. She picked up her traveling bag and turned toward the door, then paused a moment for one last glance at the room where she had com muned with happiness a little while. The chaise lounge, with its deli cate silk cushions: the low, wide bed, gay with garlands of painted flow- rs; the little desk her throat choked with sobs as she bade them all good-bye." She had dreamed of such a room in the days when she and Josh Wheeler had lived in their plain, unattractive lodgings. Now having had such a room, she was leaving it forever. (Continued in The Bte Monday.) Parents' Problems How can boys and girls of high school age best be led to take an in terest in civic affairs,- having for their aim the betterment ot life in the town or city? The object for which one works is the object in which one is inter ested. Give the boys and girls something to do. Form a club, with the whole outfit of officers, consti tution, by-laws and badges. Make the aim of the Society exceedingly definite, well within their reach, and attainable at a reasonable time. Take for instance, the beautifying of the backyards of the place, beginning with those of their own homes. Show pictures of what has been done else where and read interesting accounts. Have the members bring plans of their yards and discuss i the best way to beautify them and study how to do this as cheaply as possible. Hold meettings often and have re-f ports of what has been accomplished presented. . . Steamship Sinks Barge New York, Feb. 10.

And they knew that they would have to spend long hours in the tr.-ad mill out in the held, where the oil wcie tacked. They grumbled a good deal, as they stood m their stall.

Yes terday I saw Johnnie Green and some other boys walking on the tread mill and making it go Trey seemed to find it a lark." "Huh!" kaid one of the bay. "They'd hate it if they had to walk up hill hour after hour and never get anywhere. The noise of the tread mill and the thrashing: machine is most unpleasant." "It wouldnt be so bad, said his mate, "if Farmer Green would let us eat all we wanted of the oats that we help thrash. But he doesn't give us even an extra, measure. "Wed run awav. remarked the hay that had spoken first, "except that running away wouldn't do any good. All our running would only make the mill turn faster."
