ber of the family, and the children nre
apt to deceive her, to keep the peace.
Another is a scientifically educnteo
woman, who strives to do every task
as quickly and expeditiously ns nosalhle.
and tO give tO the home nn ntmnanlmr
of tranquillity and beauty, whether It is
one oi wealth or poverty. You admire
tne eitect ot the trained mind, nlthouch
you mny not realize just how that effect
is produced. There is something nt
once simpio anu suntie about a smooth
ly running home. The wcll-bnlnnced
woman of cultivation does not tell nil
her domestic woes nnd little dally mis
haps to every one who will listen, ns
does she who has scattered brain nnd
disorganized life.
"Oh, the higher education may give
women a lot of domestic science nnd
home economics nnd all that," cries
the reactionary man, who regrets that
the world is not stationary, keeping in
the. rut of his grandmother's days.
'Ihoy mny be good enough housekeep
ers, those highbrows who talk art and
books but whnt nbout love?"
It is not. then, that education is sup
posed to unlit women for actual home
making, but for the proper npprecintion
of innn ns lord nnd master! There is
some truth in thnt : the woman who has
n knowledge of the whole world, nnd
a sense of humor, can scarcely go into
ecstasies over the pompous pronounce
ments of some ignorant man who sets
himself up for nn authority on everv
known question. It is really difficult
to look up to a man as n god, when
you know more than he does !
Times hove passed since the poet
Milton wrote:
"Man looked to Ood. but womnn found
Her Cod In MAN"!
The educating of girls has had the
effect of raising their standards for
husbands, 'the old-time, dyed-in-the-wool
tyrnnt of the hearth, who grabbed
the morning pnper. nnd criticized the
cooking, nnd growled nt breakfast, mi
thnt nil tlie womenfolk held their breath
till hn wns safely out of the house,
lias become extinct. iSo self-respecting
wife will stnnd for tantrums. Even
the high school daughters give father
tho lnugh if he tries to act like a Judge
of the I'nited Stnte Supreme Court,
when he is not so well informed ns thev
are. Men simply must keep up with
the procession.
"The more I see of men. the better
I like docs!" said Madame de Rtnel, the
most brillinnt feminine intellect of the
I'nris of Napoleon. Indeed, she sent
such terror to thnt male tyrant's soul
thnt he exiled her to n Swiss village
whereupon the most remnrknble men
and women of Krnnre left him nnd fol
lowed her, and held n regular Intellec
tual court. Honnpartc did not believo lu
any freedom or substantial rights for
women.
I.'fliirntion does not breed cynicism for
nny of the renl emotions or relation
ships. There Is. on the other hand, an occa
sional educated womnn who Is inclined
to be priggish. True character develop
.ment. however, does not patronize one's
husband because he lacks In schooling

CHAPTER V
How Help Canto
"TTELPI" screamed Peggy.
O But who was there to give help?
She and Billy and Folly Wisher and
the two African savages were smother
ing In the smoke-filled wlgwnni. There
wero no other humans on Twinkling
Islo. Even the friendly fairies were
far away, hiding from the swatup
pirates.
"Holp!" screamed Peggy again. "I
wish somebody would come to our
rescue."
And somebody did come In answer
to tho wish a whole army of some
bodies. Tho somebodies were the
monkeys. They had grown tired of
whacking each other with the fly
swatters and had gathered around tho
wigwam to see what had become of
their human friends,
They couldn't understand what wns
tho matter when thoy found the door
way stuffod with loaves ond branches.
Neither could they understand what
was the matter when they saw smoke
from Billy's smudge sifting through the
wigwam's wall of leaves.
But when they heard Peggy call for
help thoy understood, thnt. reggy'e
screams were lllto the irjivnms they
themselves pare when they were In
trouble. They knew eomethinjr wns
hnpponing to their friends Inside the
smoking wigwam.
Now. when monkeys hear screams
they don't usually think of giving help.
ScreniiiK mean danger, and danger is
something from which to Heo. So
when a monkey hears streams he starts
for the tallest tree topB as fast as ho
car go.
But monkeys ar curlons as well ns
cautious- In this caso they wanted to
neo what was going on in th.e wigwam
more than they wanted to run Hway.
Bo after their first scamper of alarm
thnv ertint hark to the wigwam.
They tried to peek through the
holea from which the smoke wns com
Ini, and sot their eyes filled with
stinging smoke. That mado them angry,
nnd they tore nt tho branches through
which tho smoke wns sifting. In this
wav they opened up large holes In the
wigwam. The smoke iiourcd' out
fnstor thnn ever from these large holes,
and made the monkeys' eyes smart
more than before Then the monkey
(ore at the walls all the harder, until
they had stripped tho wigwam down to
its'bnre poles.
The choking swamp pirates were thus
set free. They fled blindly, desperately,
nut linowlncr which vn.v thev ivent.
But I'ejrgy, Billy, Folly Wisher and
the African girl and brave lay on the
ground ns If dead. The smoko had
filled their lungs until they hud
fainted.
Monkeys don't know much nbout get
ting a person out of n faint. In fact,
they lon't know anything nt all nbout
It. Ho far us they were concerned
they would nover have figured out n
wav to bring the humans back to their
senses.
But the sight of the fire mnde the
monkeys think of one thlna Hint was
how they bad become firemen at the
Inrning of the house of Harrison
Crusoe. They did as they had dene
then. Thev got gourda and they
formed a line from the little brook to
(he wagon. Along this line they
passed cold, clear wnter. And when
tLu water readied the wigwam the
monkejs throw it on Peggy. Billy, Folly
Wither and the two savages.
That cold wnter. helped by the brisk
Ireezo that had blown all the smoke
out of tho wigwam, did as good a job
na n doctor could have doro. The
water roused the five who had fainted,
and the broeze blew the puro nlr back
into their lungs. They gasped, splut
tered, choked, tnd then put up to find
themselves being drenched by tho grin
ning, chattering monkeys.
"Enough! Enough!" cried Billv
staggering to his feet. At thnt the
monkey stopped throwing the water
on the flo and began to throw It upon
each other. In a minute tney were
having a water battle that was even
more lively than thoir swatter fight
hod been.
"Whnt has become of the pirates?"
cried Peggy.
"I don't know," answered Billy
"But thev are too evil to stny on
Twinkling' laic. Now that we know
bow to ught them we must make war
on them ond drive them away."
Which they did, as will be told in
the next chapter.

It Isn't Because He Isn't Glad
"OITELTj, I'm going home to see my
VV mother,", announced the man in
tho next office,
'"And everybody wns delighted.
It's so nice to hear of h grown, busy
man, all filled with business cores and
Interests, who pushes them aside early
on Saturday morning and takes n long,
stuffy train ride just ece his mother.
And so tho women In the offlco be
came all sentimental and touched be
cause tills man was going all that dis
tance to sec his mother.
When ho got back on Monday morn
ing they pounced on him to know
whether he hnd had a good time.
There was scarcely one of them who
wasn't imagining the soft-muslc-by-the-orchestrn
scenes which must havo
taken place nt the reunion.
"'yES, I saw my mother," said tho
returned prodigal, "and I had n
fine time went fishing all day Sun
day!" By careful calculation It was discov
ered that out of tho day and n half
which he spent nt homo he had had
most of the half with his mother.
This wns a come -down from thoso
sentimental pictures of the wandcripg
boy come home nt last.
But It needn't have been.
Nine times out of ten this Is what
happens when a boy comes home after
a long absence.
All the tlmo iio Is nwny he wants to
see his mother: his greatest hope Is
thot vacation, short or long, which will
give mm n ennnco to get home.
And home means mother.
WHKN It nrrlvcs, he catches the first
train nut, and nlmnst runs from
the station to the house, he Is so crazy
to see his mother.
Having seen her, and heard all her
news and told all his, he cats the be&t
meal he hns hnd in ages, sleeps In his
own bed In his own room for tho flm
rlrno In nges, cats a huge breakfast the
next morning and goea ont.
tie may go to attend to some busi
ness, he may go to the movies, he may
go to seo his best girl or he may go
fishing.
But he goes out and he stays out
until time for the next meal.
Unkind? Selfish? No, he doesn't
meRU to be.
Coining home, even for a short time,
means just that to him; he loves to
think that he's home now, nnd he can
do anything he pleases.
TTK HAS his mother right there where
J--L he can sec her and talk to her apy
time he wants to. n
It is n very nice, comforting feellngJ
and nil he needs, nil he has wisnea to
flnrlncr tlio lnnip weeka nt his absence. '
