"No," the Pole shopk his head. | "I left before my time was up. He j said I couldn't get any pay. I j haven't a cent now." "You were foolish to leave before your month was out," Butler com- ; mented.

I "That Ton Will Last Longer Now" Every ton of coal lasts longer in homes where Per fection Oil Heaters are used. It isn't necessary to have the whole house at 68. Keep the furnace fire lower and put your Perfection in the room you want to be in. PERFECTION OIL/MOVERS are not for emergency heat only, but to use right along all winter and in the fall and spring, so as to burn less coal. It seems wonderful how such little things make a room warm and comfortable in a few minutes. And you are mighty glad for a Perfection when the north ■wind howls around the eaves and the thermometer drops lower, lower, lower. One of the best features about the Perfection Is that it burns kero sene—an economical fuel. But bear in mind that there are different kinds of kerosene. Also that there is one kind which always gives satisfactory heat. It is called Atlantic Rayolight Oil to distinguish it from the others. It burns without smoke, smell, or charring the wick. Ask for it by name. Remember this; Perfection Oil Heaters are safe. There Is no danger of turning the wick too high. You can't The patented con struction prevents it And don't put off buying your Perfection Oil Heater until the last minute. Better get one now while your dealer has a good supply.

"Oh. tank you, tank you," he quavered. "Never mind I" John cut short the mumbled expression of grati tude. "Only get food and a bed with it—and no drink. Under stand?" Talak nodded. "I understand. You're a good man. I'll not forgot." "Well, good-by and good luck," Butler said, taking Elizabeth's arm and walking on. The betrothed pair did not look hack. Had they done so they would have seen Talak slink back to the point at which ho had laid down the burden he carried, pick It up, then, returning to the edgo of the woods, stand, watching Butler and Elizabeth as they disappeared over tho crest of the hill.

He did not continue on the trail through the woods. Instead, he sot down as If weary, or waiting. "What time Is It, John?" Eliza beth asked as they reached the farm gate nt the back of tho house. Butler glanced again at his watch and gave a low whistle. "It's seven forty-five, and supper was supposed to be at six thirty," he told her. "Fortunately, Mrs. Chopin Is a sweet-tempered soul." "She certainly Is, and will proba bly give us a bite to eat and a glass of Iced tea sooner than let us starve," Elizabeth smiled. Yet she felt vaguely uncomforta ble as she went up the steps to the bock door. The buoyant joy of the afternoon seemed to have faded suddenly, as the sunset glow was fading from the western sky. She shivered involuntarily. "Why, dear." John asked, "What's wrong?" She tried to laugh. "I don't know." she admitted, "except that I feel suddenly afraid." "Of what?" he teased.

"Go on upstairs, please, and let ;me talk to Mr. Chapin," he said gently, but firmly. As she did his bidding she heard Amos speak again. "It's I that want to talk to you, young man," he declared. "There's something that I want to say and I may as well say it at once. Sup pose we go in here," leading the | way Into a small room at the rear of the parlor. The girl stopped at the head of the stairs and looked back. As she did so Mrs. Chapin paused in the | door of the kitchen. Their eyes i met and the matron smiled reas | suringly. "Never mind, dearie," she said, j softly. "You get ready for supper i and I'll get the supper ready. Pa's ; just a little cranky, but let the | men talk it out between them. That's the best way.

PtARRISBURG TELEGRAPH 0 MAKING THE MOST OF ~ OUR CHILDREN U A Series of Plain Talks to Parents By Ray C. Beery, A.8., M.A. T President of the Parents Association. (Copyright, 1918^. y thoParents Association. Inc.) No. 30. What Do You Do When Your Child Disobeys? ON a train not long ago, a man i and his wife were entertain- J ing some other passengers j with a tin cup and their baby which j perhaps was about a year old. After giving the child a drink, the ; cup was set on the window sill. Lit tle "Jimmy" soon managed to knock it off. Of course, it made a splendid noise- The young father picked it I up and at the same time advised I Jimmy that he shouldn't have done! it. But Jimmy must have misunder- ; stood because in a moment we again 1 heard the beautiful vibration of the tin cup. Then something happened. The j mother noticed that other passeng- I ers were amused—supposedly at the j cute and unusually clever child— and of course she, too, thought it was quite a stunt for the child to manage to get the tin when the fath er was trying to keep it out of reach. The baby laughed with glee on see ing the mother smile and the father also caught the spirit and so the cup fell on the floor about every "twelve telegraph poles" for the next few minutes. The end of the story is more in teresting. The father suddenly "be came very stern and tried to hold Jimmy. But Jifnmy squealed and began to strike at his father, ruf fling up his hair. This of course was followed quite naturally by a spank ing thus ending the scene with a crying spell. That incident was amusing—and yet, in a seftse, it was a tragedy- | This child in effect was given a most j impressive lesson in disobedience, j In the future he will receive many \ whippings intended to teach him ' obedience, but all the whippings put! together will not counteract the ef fect of a few such lessons as that described. Laughing at disobedience is a i | crime. Many persons have pointed the i I finger of shame at a youth or young ! man having committed some crime, j | who were themselves partially re- j ! sponsible without knowing it. Child- | j training is not such a haphazard sort ! of thing after all. One child through inheritance may j be harder to control than another, i but wise training will count. So many cases come to my atten- ; tion in which the child has the habit | of laughing when spoken to. For example, one mother writes j to me: "Our little two-year-old son often .

Finally coaxing him a long time I had to go oft without him. How can 1 get him out of this habit?" Your little son unfortunately has been allowed to get the idea from someone that it is clever to disobey, it is absolutely essential to see that he receives no further impressions in this direction. After definitely deciding yoa want him to do a certain thing, do not ask him if he wants to at all- For ex ample, if you are going to town, simply make preparations to go. Let him see that you *are getting ready and announce to him before hand something like this: "We are going to town this morning; you can play a little while and I shall tell you when I am ready." - • Do not start to offer any reasons why he should want to go; simply assume he is going. If he should otter any objections, do not make any reply to them at all. I find many parents are inclined to weaken at this point. They start to arguing the case. But this is wrong from the standpoint of securing obedi ence. You get a child to obey you in a really satisfactory way un less lie is friendly. Therefore, pay special attention to gaining and keeping the good will of the child. Your firm uttitude of expectancy then will have greater effect.
