The plan Is all right, but you must make allowance for the fact that Dave believes his boys like all Gods chil-legot wings when they are exposed to the right spiiitual conditions Her brothers fine eyes were alight with enthusiasm. Youre wrong, Prue, they have more sporting spirit than you think Most of them never have had a chance. Suppose we set three or four permanently on their feet and Incidentally get the timber out. Wouldn't that be worth while? What say, Gerard?" I think Its keen. Give me a letter to the head of the Rescue mission and I will go to New York tomorrow." Ill go with you."

You don t know how troubled I have been that for me you gave up your friends and work In the city to come Into the country. If you had been discontented Prudence laughed. "I discontented! Somebody once said, Tragedy Is chic but discontent Is dowdy.' Now, I ask you. can you think of me as being dow dy ?

His eyes were brighter, his face h ss careworn, Prudence decided an hour later, as standing between Jim Armstrong and Jean she watched I?od-ne- y Gerard s plane take off from ths landing field which had a double runway, east west, north south.
