Jo"? counselor In his bathing suit. They wcie trudging along tho road on their way to a nearby creek for ft swim nnd a paddle, and I've seldom seen any happier urchins than that samo small crew. Tho bungalow whero tho mothers and babies gtay Is right on tho eldo of a hill, whero it catches all tho breezos, and the low dormitory house for tho boys Is up on an opposlto hill against a woods. There Is a big garden, which supplies tho farm with vegetables and fruit. Borne of tho older boys help tho farmer for an hour or so each day. And there Is a wonder ful swing! AND then tho lovely Aold-fashloned farm- i.j,ttBwmr:-.yro , .y.w ,.,, house, where tho farm er and his wlfo and family live, and tlio sprlnghouse, Just a stone's throw away, where watermelons and cantaloupes aro cooling In the spring water! Seeing that our eyes were Just as big as tho children's when we saw the watermelons In that clear, cool water, Mrs. Farmer Insisted on our going back to tho house with her; and there, on tho lovely old-fashioned low porch, which was shaded with real trumpet vines, we sat and ate tho dell clous slices of rosy fruit with tho greatest appreciation. It's a wonderful thing that so many children can bo cared for for ono or two weeks each summer at this beautiful, healthy spot and at tho numerous other houses which have been given to tho as sociation by various kind people. And some of tho llttlo ones who go havo not only never seen tho country, but still less a real cow, pigs and chickens. They havo tasted weak and watery milk in tho city, but have never had tins Joy of watching tho dairyman milk tho cow and oh, goodie! tasting tho still half warm liquid, rich with cream, which tho kind man hands to his llttlo audience to umple. Ono child who had never seen a cow cried out during a nature-class hour, "Oh. look! the cow has a dirty face. I'm ping to wash it." But his neighbor quickly intervened, "That Isn't dirty. That's tho way tho cow is painted!" This association handled 850 persons yesterday at tho various country and tashore homes under Its Jurisdiction. I understand this is the largest number It has ever looked after all at ono time, and tho devoted women and men on the committee aro hard put to it to raise enough money to carry on tho good fcrork. As ono expressed It to me, "Our babies had been knocked out by tho Bel gian babies." And some persons beem to forget that 'charity begins at home," so It's qulto a strugglo to keep tho good work up. I hope somo kind-hearted persons with a bit left In their purses will open them little for this moro than worthy char Ity, don't you?

TT WAS a "Hup," ono of those bright Lbluo ones you know, and he had Just gotten it brand-new from tho shop tho day before. What more natural, then, than to take it around and show It to hH best girl? And then when sho had told him how marvelous it was, of course they had to go for a ride In it Just a llttlo spin, you know. So they started gayly off, with mother in tho 'onncau. How beautifully tho car ran, with no bumps at all, for every tlmo they camo to one the young man would remember his precious freight and slow down (which Is pretty good when you've only had ono lesson in driving). Well, they sped along for several miles, our young friend wearing a Joyful grin, which seemed to say, "Isn't she a peach?" (which do you suppo&o ho meant, Inci dentally, tho girl or tho car?). But sud denly thero camo n loud, terrible report, one which all experienced motorists know by heart. 'Twos a blowout! And right hero comes tho tad part. Tho man had been In such a hurry to get his car ho had actually forgotten all about such small details as tools. Consequently thero wcio nonov And besides, who would suspect a day-old car of being capablo of a blowout? What were they to do? The tiro sim ply had to bo changed, and yet It simply could not bo changed without tho neces sary "Jacks" and monkey wrenches. The man's faco wore a look of grim despair, but at last it changed to an ah!-I-have-lt expression. "We will go to a garage," quoth he. So they bumped and bumped down the road till they camo to one. Thank goodnebs, they Anally did come to one, or dear knows what would havo hap pened to them. Well, when tho car was all fixed again didn't they all heave a glad sigh of relief especially tho proud owner of said car7 THE Sturgis Ingorsolli aro down at CapMay this year with their family, and Mrs. Fowle, Marlon's mother, has gone down to visit them.

M$Lm CIIAl'TUR XV t'ontlnued AT Tlin sight of tho unpretentious hos J tolry which rejoiced In tho distinction of possessing such a resounding namo, Shir ley was conscious of a Mirlety of emotions. Tor a time, In tho old days, It had been tho fashion to patronlio tho Ilellerophon, and Murgatroyd had been tho first to take her there. On moro than ono occailon sho had lunched with him and ho had alwajs been most enthuslastlo over tho respectful service, tho wonderful culslno and the quiet of tho place. It wni Infinitely nicer, he had said, to have their luncheon there than to go to any of tho huge, noisy rarnvana rles llko tho skyscraplng, live-acre, con crete Monolith on tho avenue And sho ugreed with him. Another tlmo ho had explained to her that ho was a ono-club man: a man with few friends: nnd that, ..lion tirml nut after a long, hard day's .work, ho greatly preferred a corner, nil to himself. In tho Uolleropnon io uiiiihk win half-formed acquaintances nt tho club In this, likewise, sho had sympathized thor oughly with his point of view. And so. not unnatuially. It came abuut that Shirley had had llttla difficulty on her long Journey cast in convincing herself th.it it was tnorely her liking for 'tho Ilellerophon. nnd not nt alt anything more subtle, that had caused her to dccldo upon thU quaint, old hotel for her lonely stay In tho metropolis. Ilesldes, Miriam and she Had often been thero togethor, and for that matter, had grown to regaru n a umii u t. discovery. Hut now, when sho had crossed tho portal, when the boy had dropped her bag at tho feet of tho Ilellerophon porter charging her qulto doublo as the price of her unpardonable absend-mlndcdnesH a Hood of memories swept over her nnd htr faco Hushed and sho laughed In an Iril t.ited t-ort of way on realizing that all tho tlmo sho had been thinking solely of Mur gntrovil Murgatroyd! Would tho man's name never bo out of her thoughts' For a tlmo out west, It It true, she had been so en grossed In tho cares and griefs of her almost hermit-like elstcnco that sho had been nblo to look back upon tho old scenes as chapters In somo pathetic story book: but now, the odd. llttlo prints on tho walls nil about her. tho slender old gentlemen aris tocrats who strolled to nnd fro, everything about tho place recalled vividly tho man who, not so very long ago, had been a part nnd parcel of her existence They showed her to her room a won deifullv old-fachloned room without a par ticle of brass or glitter In It. Uven the bedstead was of wood a good, solid Invita tion to homelike rest nnd Jlumbcr "Get mo an evening paper, please." she bald to tho bellboy. "Which ono?" ho asked "All of them." sho replied with a beam ing bmlle; after that tho boy was not Ions In bringing them In Arizona Shirley had been reading news which was generally tlin-o four daya frequently a week old. Out theio her homo papers had straggled In, stale and unprofitable. Hut these of even dato; why thoy wero damp from tho press. Indeed, It was good to havo thorn ! "Homo, home," sho whispered to herself as sho sank Into a chair. Sho decided that sho would not dlno until much later, for sho wanted to think, wanted to classify tho i motions which had rushed In upon her so suddenly. Tho easy chair responded to her mood ; and with a sign, anu placing ner hands behind her head, she leaned hack contentedly, llttlo knowing that she looked wonderfully pretty In that old room-n goddess In a traveling gown. All the caro ancfsorrow that she had passed through In theso last months had made a woman of the girl, had deepened her beauty. Tlmo had rounded her gently Trnvcl-stalned and foverlsh with the glow of a new ex- i nnnn ber. she was more Inviting, more human, moro beautiful than she could ,osslbly bo in the latest Paris creation. And yet ono of the fittest mates In a great metiopolls was alone, pst and -rtest. everywhere she had wandered, men, great men. wonderful men had held out their hands to her beseechlng'y drawn by a certain undefinable magnetism and attrac tlveness which she possessed a charm of manner which few could resist. And Shir lov had passed on. and had given no sign. Hut now In the silence of her room, her loneliness appalled her. The Insistent mem orles closed In around her. And suddenly she know that sho wanted to live as other women lived with a man of her own lowing. But where could she find the man n whom she could put her faith? After a while Shirley picked up one of th naners lying on the tab-e. At the first the..PJ.: .tarted and laughed guiltily. There at the head of the third column, a word? a name had caught her eye: Murga- Thornc ' Finally, sho rejected all but one, tho Pillar tho most conservative evening paper In tho city and concentrated her ntfeflHnn nnnn tf A, n i-trniw MhlrleV I could seo that with all Its conservatism, tho Plllnr was holding up Its hands in rever ential hero-worship. In a two-column article It review ed Murgatroyd's record from Its Invariably Impartial viewpoint. "Murgntrojd bad heen clean," It said, "his reputation was unsulllid" It even rofcrred to tho Challoner Incident as a pitiful pleco of falsehood which had strengthened Mur gatroyd In his position. Shirley laid down tho paper with u cry: "Oh, what a hypocrite ho Is"' So Murgatrojd was still plajlng a game! Tho root of his record was dishonesty I .Shirley wag thoroughly slncero In her In dignation. And yet after a llttlo whllo sho began to wonder whether his consclenco troubled him whether It had cost him any thing? Oh, If only sho could bo suro of that! For sho well know, nnd n llttlo sigh of shamo escaped her, that If only ho had abandoned all pose, shown himself In truo lolors, even becomo a machine politician, sho could havo forgiven him everything. Not a llttla distressed, thereforo, she read on nnd on, marveling at tho Pillar's devo tion, but soon It lucaino apparent to her that its editor was picturing Murgatroyd moro In tho light of a losing martyr than as a successful saint. Tor tho artlclo pointed otit'tho strength of tho railroads, of Wall street, of the brewers, of tho machine, and pipdlcteil mournfully that Murgatroyd was bound to fall before nil his powerful enemies, concluding with, "Moro tho pity, moro tho pity " Presently sho read tho other papers; all contained moro or less adverse criticism of him Ono thing, however, stood out; fanatic though somo of them called him, they wero unanimous ns to his honesty of purpose a man who could not bo bought, who could not be swerved from tho straight and nar row path Moreover, In none of them was thero any reference to tho existence of Challoner Tho Chnlloners had been for gotten had dropped completely out of sight It was after 8 o'clock when Shlrloy wns reminded of a sudden that sho was desper ately hungry. Onco In tho dining room, sho directed hur steps to tho small alcove tho corner which Mil lam nnd sho had always occupied after tho first of thoho memorablo occasions when sho had lunched thero with Murgatroyd Taking her place nt tho table with a sigh of satisfaction, Shirley threw a glanco around tho room Palms screened her tablo, making It Imposslblo for her to bo seen, although It was perfectly easy for her to seo every ono In tho room. Thero wero few dining at that hour, and so nfter ordering her meal, she was thrown back onco moro on her reflections retlections of Murgatroyd : and she fell to wondering In what way had tho pnsesHlon of almost a million dollars changed him. Had ho grown stout' Was he full-faced, or possibly a bit Insolent overbearing nnd nggrosslvcly genial with n wido laugh? In any event, sho was quite positive that he was pros porous looking too prosperous looking; nnd, all In all, It was anvthlng hut a pleas ant picture which she mentally drew of him Tho waiter brought tho chosen viands and withdrew. Shirley ato cagorly Tho air of tho city was full of life and body: It gavo her an appetite. Itnlng quite a matorlal personage, she enjoyed her din ner thoroughly. Things tasted delicious to her. and yet her thoughts wandered. "If only Hilly had been different " sho kept saying to herself. Suddenly the palms were parted, nnd a fat man approached her table. On seeing It occupied, ho mumbled his surprise nnd backed out again. Hut whllo pushing his way through the palms he extended a short arm and said: "That tablo over there, then." Tim remark was made to a companion whom as yet Shlfley could not seo. An answer, however, came in a man's voice; both men seemed disappointed: evidently this corner was a favorlto with others bb well as heiself. And the fat man his faco waB strangely familiar. Who might he bo? Shirley was suro - Broderlck. That was the man: the funny, vulgar politician who had been pointed out to her at tho Challoner trial. Shirley won dered what n man of his stamp was doing in the quietude of the Dellerophon. Some how, he did not seem to belong there; she laughed silently to herself as through the palms she watched him settle himself laboriously at a table In another oorner. Tho seat he had taken faced away from her, and she notea now oruau, now icmuiy broad, was his back. "But a power In politics the real thing I" she cried half aloud. It wus not surprising, she told herself, that men of refinement hes itated a long I""8 oeioro uiu mivi jiuiiuva, If Oils were a type of the men they had to SSE&rlim W:ft It was not difficult to get a good look nt him, ns tho man sat facing her. At tho first glanco Shirley had a faint suspicion that llkcwtso she knew that faco; then sho looked again nnd for n moment sho was startled. "No. It can't bo possible that " At that Instant tho stranger looked up nnd dispelled her doubts. Sho was faco to faco with tho man who had filled her thoughts for tho last two hours. "And so Hint Is Hilly Murgntrojd 1" sho murmured to herself Ho wns tho samo Murgatrojod sho had known, but different from the man sho had pictured. And sho would havo gono on Indefinitely criticizing his looks, but sho was suddenly Interrupted by'tho sound of voices. It was Broderlck talking, his big voice filling tho room. Shir ley listened attentively. "Blamed good place to get away from tha gang." he was saying; nnd thero was a batlsfled look on his faco ns ho glanced about tho room. White Broderlck ordered tho dinner, Mur gatrojd leaned forward and made some remark. Instantly something In tho tono of his voice, or It may havo been his man ner, told tho girl that tho relations between tho two mon were. In a degree confidential. Tho back of Broderlck assumed the attl tudo of n political adviser. Shirley observed that ho gesticulated a great deal and often wiped his brow with a hnndkerchlcf which, oven nt a distance she could seo wns ovcr cmbroldcrcd, but In none of his movements so far was thero tho slightest suggestion of hostllltj-. "And this Is tho uso that Murgatroyd has mndo of poor Miriam's inoncj"' sho cried to herself "He's bribing tho cnemj-!" Shirley bowed her head In shamo. Presently she lifted It again, for before their dinner had arrived nnd while Brod erlck talked on, Murgatrov-d rose and walked for a brief whllo up and down be hind tho tablo; and, unseen herself, sho bciutlnlzed him closely. The llr.st thing that her woman's cyo noted was that Murgatroyd was not In eve ning clothes; ho wbro a business suit, not altogether new, which to hor thinking, needed pressing; It looked as It ho had lived In it from daj break to daybreak. Ho was no stouter than when sho had last seen him ; If anything ho nppeared to havo lost llc-sli. j-et his figure still retained Its strong but lino lines. And Shirley was forced to ncknowledgo to herself that It had lost none of Its grace.

Broderlck's face, glance, his whole being, Indicated tho cunning of tho man; ho was treachery personified, nt least, so ho ap peared to Shirley : and she told herself, as sho sat there and studied him, that any ono vv Ith half an eyo could seo that he was hoodwinking tho man opposlto him. "Murgatroj-d was being fooled!" There was no doubt about It. The attitude of both men expressed It: but, moro than anything else, Murgatroyd's air of foverlsh endeavor, of expenditure of cnorgj", con firmed It. With Miriam's thousands he had paid for something that had not been delivered. Broderlck had taken the money every dollar ot It, of that Shirley was thoroughly convinced and hud given noth ing In return. In the girl's mind there was no accounting otherwise for Brod erlck's leer: in no other way was it possi ble to explain the desperato effort that Mur gatroyd seemed to be making. But, at last, the lawj-er grew nngry; he hit tho tablo ripeatedly with his fist and glared at Broderlck. And the huge politician pro tended to cower and tried to propitiate him. "Yes, they aro fooling him I" she re peated to herself. Miriam's money had been of no avail ; Sturgatroyd had failed to accomplish his purpose. After a while this feeling of contempt for hla failure gave way to a wave of pity. Wtiat right had she to Judge him at oil: what manner of woman was she, that sha- shou'd sot Herself up to determine whether his lesson was. deservedly bitter or not; and what should be his punishment.
