"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

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. I

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.

But their secret was to bo short lived.

the name moment -Mrs Chichester and
Alaric came in through the door.
They all greeted Jerry warmly.
Mrs. Chichester was particularly :
gra clous.
"So sorry we were out. You will j
stay to lunch?"
"It Is nhnt I cauie for." replied Jer
ry heartily. He slipped his arm
tlirough Alarlc's atid led him up to the
windows.
"Why. Al. your eoosin is adorable!" i
he said enthusiastically.
"What:" Alaric gasped, in horror
"You've met her?"
"Indeed I have. And we had the
most delightful time together. 1 want
to see a great deal of her while she's
here."
"Von're Jnking?" remarked Alaric 1
cautiously.
"Not at nil She has the frank. hon
est grip on life that I like hotter thin
anything in mankind or womankind.
She has made me a convert to home
rule already "
The luncheon pons sounded in the
distance Alaric horned to the door I
"Come along, every "t*-: l.uncb!"
•"Thnnk goodness!" crle<l Jerry. Join- •
tug him. "I'm starvinc"
Peg came quietly from behind the |
newel post where she hid heen prac
tically hidden, nnd went straight to
Jerry and. smiliug up at him. her eyes
dancing with amusement, said:
"So am I starvitr too. I've not had
a bite sine? u."
"Allow iue." and Jerry offered her
bis «rm
Mrs. Chichester quickly interposed.
"My niece is tired after her journey.
She will lunch in her room."
"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.
Ethel looked indignantly at Peg.
Mrs. Chichester ejaculated, •'What'/"
Alaric. almost struck dumb, fell hack
upon "Weil, 1 mean to say!"
"And yon shall go in with Mr. Jer-1
ry," sakl that young gentleman, slip
ping Peg's arm through his own. Turn
ing to Mrs. Chichester, be asked her:'
"With your permission we will lead
the way. Come, Peg." and he led her
to the door and opened It
Peg looked up at him. a roguish light I
dancing In her big. expressive eyes.
"Thanks. I'm not so sure about that
wager of yours. I think yer life is
safe. I want to tell ye ye've saved
mine." She put one hand gently on
her little stomach nnd cried, "I am so j
hungry me soul Is hangin' by a
thread."
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.

; for the posltlou she might one day en

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

" 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.

Then he looked at her charming

her in his aims. Peg gave him a re
hounding box on the ear. 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

Ethel looked steadily nt him.
"Why don't you go after her?" and
she nodded In the direction Peg had
gone.
