Proof That Dreams Sometimes
Reach to the Reality.
By IZOLA FORRESTER.
“It's only to be absolutely sure.”
Suzanne did not look at him as she
spoke. It was far too hazardous. But
Don was taking it very calmly. He
regarded her with unblinking eyes
from his perch on the vercnda rail.
“But we stay engaged?”
“Oh, yes,” Suzanne assented, cheer-
fully. “I don’t mind, do you? It's
only to—to test our feelings, Don.
Don’t you understand? I'm going with |
the Janeways for a week, and you |
may stay here and fish or sail; do |
just what you like.”
“So generous of you,” murmured |
Don. i
“Why not? I want you to be hap-
“Yes, you do? You know I can't be
happy without you.”
“We don’t know for sure, yet.”
ganne was very firm, but gentle. She
felt sorry for Don, but when it came |
to a serious question like this, she felt |
it far better to put it to the test. “It
isn't as if we were breaking the en-
gagement, Don, dear. It's just a sort |
of furlough, don’t you see? We'll keep !
it a secret and both be free to do as we |
please.
“Which means you'll trot all over |
Tressac Island with Carl Janeway.”
“You are at perfect liberty to do the |
same with any girl here.”
“But that’s the ruh, Sue. You know |
1 don't give a rap about any other |
girl here, and you want a chance to |
try out Janeway.” !
Suzanne pursed her pretty
provingly.
“Sometimes you seem like a big, |
overgrown cub, Don; you do, really. |
Mr. Janeway is a perfect stranger to |
me—"
“Blanche has been writing to you
for a month to come and meet her
brother. Don’t I know?”

“Well—I'm going,” smiled Suzanne.
“And you may do just what you please
about it.”
“May I?" Don asked grimly, with
a swift safe glance at her.”

ening to his tales of a world-wide
quest. That was what he called it, a
quest after fortune. Blanche had tak-
en pains to tell her he had found it
“When are you leaving Tressae,
Gray Eyes,” he asiied suddenly.
“Saturday.”
She waited while he hid the canoe
under the trees. It was twilight now.
A faint breeze stole over the lake,
perfume laden. Up at the lodge they
were lighting the long Chinese lan-
terns around the porch. And sud-
denly, without warning, Janeway's
' arms closed about her.
“But you will not go—not now. You
! know the same as 1 do that this is the
! end of the quest.”
Swiftly, recklessly, Suzanne's palm
struck ont and cuffed the famcus ex-
plorer's nearest ear even while she
evaded his lips. And then, picking up
her skirt, she ran straight for the
shelter of the lantern’s glow.
“I'm going tomorrow, Blanche,” she
exclaimed, finding her hostess alone
there. .
“Oh, so soon, dear; why? Here's
a letter for you, anyway. From the
shore, too!”
Suzanne read it through once,
twice. Every word sank deep into
It was from Pon.
“I think you had better stav longer.
1 am going up to Canada vith the
Wheatons in their car. The day you
left I took a wrong header in diving
and struck my shoulder. Lueky it
wasn't the neck, eh? Have peen laid
up ever since. Head grazs a rock,
too.”
“Blanche, I am going now, tonight.
Don's badly hurt. I'm sorry, but I
must go.”
“Don?”
Then Suzanne raised her head and
for the first time publicly announced
her engagement. Back there under
the pines, when another man's arms
had closed about her, she had found
out what Don Hamilton's love meant
to her.
“So you see I must go,” she added,
hurriedly. “Aunt Isabel is there at
the hotel, but he will want me. And
—and—I don’t want him to try to go
on this motor trip.”
“But I thought you liked Carl, dear?”
“Did you?” Suzanne laid her arms
around the other girl's shoulders.
“Blanche, you know what funny peo-
ple we women are, don't you? Ididn't
know until tonight which one I cared
for, but now I do, and I want to get
back to Don just as soon as the boat
will take me.”
“There's a train at 8:18 and you can
catch the ferry over in 15 minutes.
Don’t talk, Sue, just rush. I know how
you feel.”
Don Hamilton opened his eyes wide-
ly at the vision that stood by his ham-
mock beside Aunt Isabel's portly one.
It was Suzanne, a long motoring cloak
thrown back, showing her still in her
: brown khaki suit.
“Don’t hug him too hard, child.. He's
all bandaged,” protested Aunt Isabel,
but Don did not mind the pain. He
only heard her voice in his ear.

SOURCE OF HIS INSPIRATION
Not From Great Singer in Naples, but
From Phonograph Came the Fa-
mous Tune.
Once there was to be a Salamis that
should make it doubtful, when the
| name was heard, whether it was the
mother city that was meant or its
daughter in another land. So today
when an Italian boy or girl appears in
Boston schools, it is uncertain wheth-
er the child hails from the Italy of
the Caesars or from “Little Italy”
“Don’t be too rash, or maybe I|down round North Square. The au-
won't come back.”
“Ah, Sue, don't say that?”
But Suzanne merely laughed, and |
rose from the deep arm chair. She
knew perfectly well how charming she
was, and how she held Don Hamilton's
very surety had begun to bore her. It
had been unfortunate, their falling in
love so soon, at the beginning of the
summer season, and now at early fall,
it seemed an old story.
Blanche had succeeded in arousing
her curiosity over her wonderful ex-
plorer brother. Don had never ex-
plored any unknown territory except
her own heart. She would go down
to Tressac Island and see this celeb-
rity, and without Don. And she went.
The whole island was owned by the
Janeways. It lay like a beautiful
.green emerald far out in the lake. Aft-
er the excitement and restless life at
the seashore resort Suzanne found it
folding a spell of enchantment about
‘her, the peace and dreamy langor that
hung over the entire place.
It was the fifth day. She had writ:
ten one letter to Don—one only. Was
not love on a furlough? And not a
word had she heard in reply. It was
queer of Don to act that way. He had
no perspective on life, she told her
self. Carl Janeway was keen on per
spectives.
“We can never hold the reality in
our grasp, try as we will,” he told
her. “Do we not ever reach for the
dream?”
“I suppose we do,” Suzanne assent
ed, faintly, but she remembered un.
easily how tangible had been the real
ization of Don's dream. She did not
meet Janeway's glance. They were
just landing after the dally sunset
canoe trip. She watched him now,
as he lifted the canoe as easily as an
Indian guide. He was like an Indian,
too, in his tall, lithe build, black hair,
and odd, dark eyes that never seemed
to close. Blanche had said he was in-
teresting. Suzanne found him more
that. Vaguely, he fascinated her,

lating to the isthmus, found the same
question arising in the Canal Zone.
While we were stuck on a mud
bank, fighting mosquitoes, an incident
occurred that flustrates how pervers-
ive is progress. One of the deck-
hands who looked like an Italian was
enlivening his job by stitching a patch
on a pair of overalls by singing the
duke's song from “Rigoletto.” And
he sang it well. He had a rich bary-
tone. His voice evidently had not
been trained, but he sang true. Sit.
ting there on a dry-goods case, beat-
ing time against it with his bare heels,
he threw into his singing a large
measure of the airy nonchalance, the
very spirit of the song, that is so
often lacking in the performance of
professionals,
“Now listen to that,” the captain
said. “That's the real Latin for you.
Music born in him. I don’t suppose
he can read or write. But once, when
he was a little shaver, back in Italy,
his father took him to the opera in
Naples, and he heard some great arts
ist sing that. And he remembers it
still; sings it down here in the jun-
gle, without any accompaniment but
his heels, a lot better than an Eng-
lish or an American university man
could sing it with #1 orchestra.”
i “Let's get him to tell us about it,”
suggested.
The captain called him up, and ask-
ed him where he was born.
“New York,” he said.
“Mulberry street?” I asked.
“Sure.”
“Where did you learn that song?”
“Oh, that? That's a Caruso song. 1
learned it out of a phonograph.” —

WAYS OF RUBBER TAPPING
Natives of Mozambique Either Use
Incision or Cook and Pound
the Bark.
{| There are at present in use two
| native methods of extracting rubber.
The first, that of incision or tapping,
is followed by all natives south of
the Zambesi Valley, and it produces a
high-grade rubber known as Mozam-
| bique pink, second only to best Para
on the European market. The other
method of extraction, known as
| pounding, is generally followed in the
Mozambique ané other northern dis-
| tricts. There the bark is stripped
| from the roots of the vines or from
' the vines and is cooked over a slow
fire and pounded until the bark is
| finally pounded out, leaving a mass of
| rubber in all stages of crudity. This
| rubber is known as Mozambique
| rooty. Jt is classed very low, but a
large concern now operating in the
Mozambique district has perfected
the system of pounding to the point
| of producing a rubber which is rapid-
ly approaching the classification of
| Mozambique pink.
| A strange truth has come to light
| in regard to the landolphia, and that
{1s that while vines are frequently
| killed by incision or tapping, this
| seldom happens with the vine which
(is cut down almost to the ground
| after maturity. It is also a notable
| fact that large sections of the root of
a vine can be dug up and cut off with-
| out killing the vine. In the Mozam-
| bique district there are places where
| natives have been cutting roots from
the same vines year after year. The
recognition of this fact will make an
enormous difference in the estimates
of the capacity of the forests.—U. S.
Consular Report.
MODERN WOMAN AS FARMER
One Found in Massachusetts Who Is
College Bred, Cultured and Very
Successful,
There is a woman farmer, living in
a suburb of Plymouth, Mass., who is
considered by William D. Hurd, direc
tor of the extension work of the Mas-
sachusetts agricultural college, as far
and away the most successful and al-
together the most worthwhile person
of the feminine gender drawing her
pay-envelope from Mother Earth, and
she is just the most refined and cul-
tured and charming sort of college-
bred woman that can be imagined.
“She lives in a great and wide and
fire-placed century-old New England
farmhouse, set at the front of its own
two hundred acres (which this woman
farmer has reclaimed and cultivated
under the most modern scientific
methods) and buttressed at the back
by its own outbuildings for the clean-
as-a-whit, pure white pigs; the pure-
blooded Holstein cattle; the delicately
tinted Buff Orpington pullets; the
wedding-shower-bouquet and funeral-
pillows-of-peace greenhouses; and the
high and broad and original old Larn
for young stock, painted ox-blood red,
with a tower-pointed silo nestling in
the corner of it.”—Suburban Life Mag-
azine.
Paper Dolls.
Every mother who has little daugh-
ters to amuse in rainy weather will
often resort to paper dolls. Children
always derive a great amount of pleas-
ure dressing these, and many an oth-
erwise tedious hour is spent in this
manner.
Beautiful dolls, from six to nine
inches tall, ready to dress, may be
purchased for from five to ten cents.
If you desire to make your own
dolls, take a plece of stiff cardboard
and draw a head and body, using
the purchased doll for a model.
Draw the eyes, nose, mouth, eye-
brows, ears and hair. With water col-
ors paint the features the desired
tints.
Lovely dresses may be fashioned
from crepe and tissue paper, which
comes in all tints and shades, plain,
figured and in plaid designs. Sup-
plied with a pair of scissors, a bottle
of. mucilage and the paper, children
can create many pretty costumes for
the paper doll.
Unsocial Socialist.
At Arden, the single-tax colony near
Philadelphia, they tell a story about
Upton Sinclair,
Mr. Sinclair was having a good
deal of trouble, both domestic and
political, at Arden, and at the height
of this trouble he took the train one
day for Philadelphia.
A group of jovial drummers sat
near him in the smoking car. One
of them, nodding in his direction, said
ing chap over there?
though he loathed all mankind. Who
is he? I never saw anybody so un-
“Him? Oh, he's a Socialist,” wag
the reply.

The Hluminatl.
The Illuminati would be called in
these days “Rationalists,” or “Free-
thinkers,” or “Liberals.” Founded in
Spain about 1575, the order or sect or
whatever you may choose to call it,
spread over all Europe, becoming es-
pecially strong in France and Ger
many. They claimed that truth, and
the proofs of it, were internal, to be
found in the reason and conscience,
rather than in the outer works of
things, such as creeds, forms and acts.
The rationalism of the Illuminati was,
as Matthew Arnold would say, “tinged
with emotion,” being a combination of
rationalism and mysticism. The op-
position of the church was strong, and |’
the first of the Illuminati paid the
usual penalty of being “unorthodox.”
An Appropriate Testimonial.
“] see somebody has suggested the!
jossibility of erecting a statue to the
aventor of rubber tires,” said Whirtle-
erry.
“Good!” said Gummiton. “I suppose
tires
rom the general behavior of tho
211 be a bust.”—Harper's ¥'~~"'
