10 ■ HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel Fire "Matches should lie kept in closed till boxes or in holders of non-inilamn'able 1 material," writes Superintendent Frank W. Miller, in a message to his school teachers. Continuing his lecture 011 Safety First, he savs, "Material in matches is poison and if matches are let lie around little children often put them in their months. Often tliev are carried away by mice aud ignited in their nests. "Safety matches are the only ones we should have iu the home; 'parlor' matches should not he used, as the heads often fly some distance." Clothes have been set on tire in this way and eyes have been destroyed. "Some women .strike matches on the soles of their shoes; this flame is very apt to set their skirts afire. Men often give a burning match a twirl and toss jt aside, sometimes into waste jiaper baskets. Some time the match will not be extinguished and then there will be a crv of 'tire!' "Ignition occurs in strange ways: sunlight striking on a box of matches ] or the rays of a mirror or glass paper , «ei'ght will often be the means of start- j ing them into a blare. "One of the most dangerous ma terials tor clothing is outing flannel. 1 '1 lie nap burns as though it was . gun powder. Little children should not be allowed to make fires or carry lamps. 1 After thev are ten years of age they , should be taught to* turn gas 011 and i off and to sec that the match used for i lighting anything is put out. 1 "The small electric lights are excel- j lent for hunting things in dirk closets.

' \ Coal and "Clinkers" Don't always blame the coal if you find "clinkers" in your furnace. Clinkers are often the result of the way the fur nace is handled. The feed door should never be left open, as cold air rushes in and deadens the fire and causes clinkers by suddenly chilling the hot coals, which are in a plastic condition. The fire will settle down into a solid mass and you will have trouble to remove the ashes. The best coal is liable to clinker from this cause. United Ice and Coal Co.

Reply.—This month has been called the month of birthdays—Washington.

"Ob. but I'm not a bit tired." ejacu lated Peg anxiously. "I'm not tired at all. an' I'd much rather have lunch down here with Mr. Jerry." The whole family were aghast.

Laughing gayly the two new found friends went In search of the dining • room. "Disgraceful !*• ventured Ethel. "Awful r* said the stunned Alaric. "She must be taken In hand at once!" came In firm tones from Mrs. Chiches ter. "She must never be left alone again. Come quickly before she can disgrace us any further today." The days that followed were never to be forgotten ones for Peg. Her na ture was in continual revolt The teaching of her whole llfeUme she was told to correct Everything she mid. everything she looked, eTarything she did was wrong. I Tutor* were engaged to prepare her ; for the posltlou she might one day en ! joy through her dead uncle's will. They Old not remain long. She show ed either marked Incapacity to acqalre j. the slightest reneer of culture— else It w:ts pure willfulness. The only biennis of relief she had were on the occasions when Jerry vis ited the family Whenever they could avoid Mrs. Chichester's watchful eyes they would chut nod laugh and play like chiidreu Her letters to ber father were at first very hitter retarding her treat ment by the family Indeed, so resent ful did they become that her father wrote to ber In reply urging her, if she was so unhappy, to at ome return to i h!a> *>n the next steamer. The month , she had promised to stay was drawing ; to au end. But one more day remaln •ed It was to be a memorable one for Peg •lorry had endeavored at various | times to entourage ber to study. One day he gave her a large. handsomely ! bound volume and asked her to read It at odd times and he would examine her In it when she had innstered its contents She opened Mt wondertngly aud found it to l>e "Love Stories of the* World." It became Peg's treasure. She kept . it hlddeu from every out* In the house. J She made « cover for it out of a piece of cloth, so that no one could see the , ornate binding She would read It at I night In her room, by day out In the | fields or by the sea. The hook was a revelation to her It gave all ber im agination full play. Through Its pages ! trended a stately processiou of kings ! and queens-Wagnerian heroes and I heroines. Shakespearean creations, me | I odious In verse, and countless others, j I All through the month Christian Rreut was a frequent visitor. If Peg j only despised the Chichesters she posi- j tivelv loathed Hrent. Peg was watt -1 ing for a really good chance to find out 1 Mr. Brents real character. The op-! ! portunity came. j On the night of the last day of the I j trial month Peg was lying face down-1 ward on a sofa reading her. treasure' i when she hpcnwe conscious of some j one iH'iiig in the room watching her. I She started <ip iu n panic, instinctively j hiding the hook behind her. She found j Brent staring down at her ill open ad | miration. Something in the Intentoess ' of his gaze caused her to spriug to her feet. "The hook must be absorbing What Is it?" lie nsked. Peg faced liiui. the book clasped In both of iter hands behind tier back. " her eyes flashing and her heart throb j bins "You mustn't be angry, child. What is It. eh? Something forbidden?" and he leerej knowingly at tier. Then he made a quick snatch at the book, say Itig. "Show It we!" Peg mn across the room and. turn ins; up a corner of the carpet, put the | book under it. turned back the carpet, i put her foot determinedly on it and turned again to face her tormentor. Brent went rapidly across to her. The instinct of the chase was quick In his h!ood. "A hiding place, eh? Now you make me really curious I.et me see." He ; again made a movement toward the hidden book. Peg clinched both of her hands into j little lists and stared at Brent, while : her breath came in quick, sharp gasps. "! love spirit!" cried Brent. Then he looked at her charming dress, nt her stylish coiffure, at the rimple spray of tinners at her breast ! Fit? gave nil ejaculation of pleasure. "What a wonderful ch.'nge in a n'onth: You most certnlnly would not he sent to the kitchen now. Do you know you hnre grown Into a most at , tractive young lady? You are really delightful angry.

The door opened, and Ethel came into the room. Peg hurried out through the wla . dows. < Brent turned to Ethel. ! "My dear!" Ethel looked coldly at him. i 'Why did she run away?" I Brent smiled easily and confidently: "I'd surprised one of her secrets, and she flew into a temper, j "Secrets?" was all Ethel said. "Tes. See." He walked across to the corner aud turned back the carpet and. kneeling down, searched for the hook, found it and held it up trium phantly. "Here!" He stood up and open' ed the book and read the title page: " "Love Stories of the World.' 'To Peg from Jerry.' Oho!" cried Mr. Brent. "Jerry! Eh? No wonder she didn't want me to see It! Jerry! So ' that's how the land lies! Romantic j little child!" Ethel looked steadily nt him. "Why don't you go after her?" and she nodded In the direction Peg had gone. "Ethel!" he cried, aghast.
