The house stood back on a knoll and had a row of thorn locusts before Its gray, weather-beate- n shingled front An old man was sawing wood in the bleak house yard. His blue eyes had the childlike expression seen sometimes In the eyes of the old when they have been neither very successful nor important In life. Wilton Introduced himself, and after some preliminaries he spoke of the academy and of his new relation to it The old man seemed at once interested, and ushered him Into the warm little kitchen. Having dislodged a sleek gray cat from the rocking chair and shaken out the cushion, he invited his visitor to be seated. Wilton gradually approached the subject of the accident, I believe you were and remarked: the only witness I was the sole and only one. I was walking up the ravine on the other side, an ax on my shoulder, when I heard screams and saw the four clawing at each other and at the air to keep from falling into the whirl I But they was tied together, and over they went You seen the figures, I suppose? Yes. The father, the old professor, took on dreadful they made them figures to keep him quiet in his long sickness. So I understand. I aint never seen em myself. Folks I aint do say theyre too natural. never wanted to see em I I chopped off a great bough that day and tried to hold it out over the whirl; but I was on the wrong side, and they couldnt reach it. Then I ran down a piece to cross current knocked me over twice and I nearly drowned myself. When I got over that at last, nothin to be seen but that poisonous black water. I was sick at my stomach. I sat down on a rock and was as sick as a drunkard just because I hadnt been able to do nothin, staggered back to the academy, and the first person I see was Balder hoe Ing In the garden. Balder, I says, the first thing, four of em the whole Balder let out four of em drowned. a screech and threw down his hoe, Itll kill the doctor! Hes a sick man. Then he went in, and I stood outside shakin like I had the palsy. Such a screechin and moanin and runnin around. I hear it yet sometimes. Mr. Haskell had been readin to the doctor all afternoon ; and he tried to quiet him, but it was no use. He got worse and worse. Folks said his brain was affected. Theres an old lady over to the Herropp farm helped nurse the doctor. She used to say she didnt blame Mrs. Bracebridge for tryin to bring those children to life In wax It was enough to wring your heart to hear the poor old professor callin for he hesitated. Folks em. Folks say say the wax figures comes out of that schoolroom and walks the old corridors and look in the library and even go out on the grounds.

Payne looked out the window. Thats her big St. Bernard." I didnt mean no dog. I thought I saw a girl In white walking with her. Jerry opened the kitchen door and went out to meet Berenice. "The new teachers callin on me, he announced. She seemed glad to see him, pre- sented her offerings to Jerry petted the cat Payne asked If he could go back with her. As they walked along she asked him why he had gone to see Jerry. Taken aback for a moment he considered how be should answer her. 1 like to talk with all kinds of people, Wilton answered. "Ah, here is the deserted village. Does anyone know why it was deserted? People gave various reasons. The location was too lonely, I suppose." The last deserted city I saw was Imagine a city of towers, churches, palaces, piazzas, utterly empty except for a riot of flowers ; deserted since the middle of the Eighteenth century. Why, here comes Miss Mercer and Mr. Fleming. Janet and Arthur waved to them gaily, came up the rough road with swift eager feet. What do you suppose weve discovered there are tablets in that old church; and one of them is to a Dr. August Lostland, founder of Lostland academy, who died in the year 1799 aged nearly one hundred. Janet and Berenice had clasped hands on meeting as If their vitality and youth went naturally In search of a comrade. Wilton thought he had never seen two young women who so seemed to heighten each others beauty. The blue and brown eyes shone with mutual friendliness. Berenices swaying grace, her etherealized look, the aura of seclusion and Isolation surwell with rounding her, blended Janets warmer beauty, its secrets to be revealed in other avenues than the long classic roads of English literature. You should be well educated, Miss Bracebridge, Fleming said, with the four of us always buzzing about." "I shall be very happy, she answered simply. Would you like to see the old church, too? she addressed Wilton. The old meeting house was built In the Christopher Wren style of architecture, with galleries and a choir loft; the Ten Commandments facing on one side of the pulpit and the Lords Prayer on the other. The four climbed to the choir loft, and from their position above a circular clock surveyed the high, square pews. As they stood there a figure appeared In the doorway left open at the other end, and Gordon Haskell stepped cautiously over the sill. Stand back, Berenice whispered. Til lean over the railing. Hell be so She took off her hat and surprised. waited until he was nearly beneath the gallery ; then without a word stood by the rail looking down at him. He gazed up at her grew very white and turned abruptly. Guardian, she called, Dont you know me? Its Berenice I Either he did not hear her or did not want to hear her, for he strode out of the building. She turned with puzzled air. "He saw me he must have seen me." Wilton was sure he had seen her also that he looked like a man thoroughly frightened. Had he mistaken her for some one else? I wonder what Mr. Haskell wanted I dont ever remember seeing him enter this place. He looked at me as If he thought me a ghost. I suppose in this dim light I had a strange appearance. I did not mean to frighten Nlufa, In Italy. him. That Body Woman Writer Objects of Yours to Term Weaker Sex B, JAMES W. BARTON, M. D. Dementia Praecox VrOU may often hear of the ailment dementia praecox; that it Is used to excuse the misdemeanors or even crimes of certain individuals. The simplest explanation of this mental ailment is that it is a persistent dream state in which the Individual feels that he Is a failure in life. He may feel afraid, may try to imagine himself a success, or may just have a feeling of inferiority to others. Underneath it all Is really a loss of self-respe- In other words he is unable to meet the requirements of everyday life. Can anything be done for these cases? Your doctor will tell you that a great many cases are helped by patient questioning and advising by one in whom the patient has confidence. Everything possible is done to en- A woman columlst, noted for her keen Insight Into events and things, selects this subject for comment: The papers tell of a federal Judge In a New York courtroom who compelled the men to give women their seats. A reader sends ns the clipping, wondering what we think about It Here It Is: In a courtroom crowded to capacity with creditors and stockholders of the Ambassador Hotel corporation, Federal Judge J. M. AYoolsey said recently: It seems to me that the men sitting over there should stand up and let the ladies sit down. When the men did not budge, he added: Go over there, marshals, and roust them out The marshals obeyed and the women sat down while the men grumbled quietly to themselves, saying they thought the order unfair." What do we think about It? Well, It all depends on what we women want If what we want most is the seat courage the patient to keep himself clean and tidy, take an Interest in his a man occupies, then we should not appearance and surroundings.

You can readily see that if he finds he can do things, that he is treated w. respect, he Is going to be taken out of himself, and become one of the crowd, one of the community, instead of being odd or out of things. He really hasnt the time to be dreaming about himself If he Is mixing with others at play, work or other occupation.

Little Zion Named by Mormon Colonist Band Every once In a while some locality Is fortunate enough to be baptized properly. We can thank Brigham Young and his Mormon followers for the fact that we may now glibly say, Were Off to Zion Instead of twisting our tongues around Mukuntu-weap. Mukuntuweap Is a nice enough name, meaning land of the springs," according to a Utah scholar, John Wallis, who has traced the name to Its Indian source. The name was given to this national park when It was first created by congress. That may be the reason that travelers were slow In discovering Its wonders. They just didnt know how to ask for it, like the man who would like to buy a wife a fancy French perfume but has to compromise on violet, which he can pronounce. In 1918 Fresident Wilson went back to the name originally given the region by Brigham Young, Yonng and a band of his colonists looking for new territory came upon the shining domes, rainbow colors and unearthly shapes, and Immediately named It Little Zion as It seemed the one place on earth closest to the heavenly Zion.
