Influential Homes
Grown persojis who have memories
of plensant home lift' of their younger
davß possess an invaluable legacy.
There is no form of influence so on
durinjf as that of the home ami its
power is continuous.
One cannot define the magnetic qual
ity of home love; some say it lies in
sonjf and there are few descriptions of
home given where music is not men
tioned.
Hume songs «re pure gold and things
of truth, they seem to make characters
strong and tender, but the home of
to-day has been invaded by worthless
doggerel and tuneless rhymes.
Tll a popular magazine, a writer de
clares that, "the ponular catchy song
is usually shocking, its words sugges
tive and it> influence evil."
Mr. De Koven wrote, "song is an
repression of purest harmony of soul
and physical life, voicing thought too
beautiful for words." Do the new popu
lar rag-time songs do that?

The Carbon In Coal
Is the Part That Burns and Gives out Heat.
The higher the percentage of carbon the better
the coal and the more heat you will' get with less
ashes.
A coal dealer must have considerable experience
to be able to select the grades that will give the best
results to his customers.
Not all coal is alike, there are more than 300
Anthracite Mines in this State, so good judgment
must be used to select the high quality kind.
We recommend our Wilkes-Barre coal to be as
high in carbon as any coal that comes to Harrisburg.
Ask for it by name.

came in contact with it accidentally.
Miss Richland writes in this love story
or home life: "There was something
home-like in the hall with its quaint
landscape i»nper. perceptibly worn and
faded turkey red carpet, wide spindle
balustraded stairway with the old clock
on its landing, but more than all the
distinctive sense of home came from
sounds of laughter, of music close at
hand." In "Little Women." I.ouise Al
oott had the March girls gather round
the old piano and sing the sweet old
songs that live and seem to speak to
us of all the family.
Better songs in the home is one of
the ends for which civic workers strive.
Heurv Ward Beeeher wrote 011 the
subject, Phillips Brooks preached about
it aud Francis Willard said that a great
tide of harmony went up to God when
"Home, Sweet Home." the lovely air
attuned to all that is holy and dear,
was sung.
The "good" songs are ballads and
national songs that have lived. If your
family .sings "America," "The Star
Spankled Banner," "The Battle Hymn
of the Republic," "Ben Bolt." "The
Swanee River," "My Old Kentucky
Home." aud other old familiar airs that
age has not withered and that custom
will never stale, they will not like the
guadv, flashy rag time music of the
street and questionable music hall.

Xew York. March 9. —When Kate
Hayes, a scrubwoman at the Vauderbilt
hotel, was taken ill and it became neces
sary to send her to a hospital, she asked
the housekeeper, Katherine Lee, to do
her a favor.
This request turned out a huge sur
prise. being nothing less than the cus
tody of thirty-six envelopes, the pay of
three years, none of which had been
opened. During all this time the scrub
woman had never been outside the
hotel.

would be perfectly right."
"But 1 might be one of the dissent
ing judges."
"That Is because you are one wom
an In a thousand."
"No; I simply have a mind of my
own, and often prefer to be guided by
It. I am not a sheep."
Silence. The lap-lap of the w«ter,
the long slow rise and fall, and the
dartling flying-fish apparently claimed
their attention.
But Warrington saw nothing Bare
the danger, the dauger to himself and
to her. At any moment he might flin*
ms arms around her, without his hay
ing the power to resist. She called to
him as nothing in the world had called
before. But she trusted him, and Be
cause of this he resolutely throttled
the recurring desires. She was right.
He had scorned what she had termed
as woman's intlnct. She had read him
with a degree of accuracy. In the
eyes of Ood he was a good man, a de
pendable man; but he was not impos
sibly good. He was human enough to
want her, human enough to appreciate
the danger in which she stood of him.
"Tell me about the man who looks
like me." His gaze roved out to sea,
to the white islands of vapor low-lying
in the east. "In what respect does he
resemble me?"
"His hair Is yellow, his eyes are
blue, and he smiles the same way you
do."
He felt the lump rise and swell in t
his throat.
"If you stood before a mirror you
would see him. But there the re
semblance ends."
"Is he a man who does things?" a
note of strained curiosity in hiß tones.
Ten years! .
"In what way do you mean?"
"Does he work in the world, does he
invent, build, finance?"
Mayhap her eyes deceived her, but
the tan on his face seemed less brown i
than yellow.
"No; Mr. Ellison is a collector of |
paintings, of rugs, of rare books and
china. He's a bit detached, as dream- j
ers usually are. He has written a
book of exquisite verses. . . . You
are smiling," she broke off suddenly,
her eyes filling with cold lights.
"A thousand pardons! The thought
was going through my head how un
like we are indeed. I can hardly tell
one master from another, all old books
look alike to me. and the same with
china. I know something about rugs;
but I couldn't write a jingle if it was
to save me from hanging."
"Do you Invent, build, finance?" A
bit of a gulf had opened up between
them. Elsa might not be prepared to
marry Arthur, but she certainly would
not tolerate a covert sneer in regard
to his accomplishments.
Quietly and with dignity he an
swered: "I have built bridges in my
time over which trains are passing at
this moment. I have fought torrents,;
and floods, and hurricanes, and myself.
I have done a man's work. I had a fu
ture, they said. But here I am, a sub
ject of your pity."
She instantly relented. "But you
are young. You can begin again."
"Not in the sense you mean."
"And yet, you tell me you are going
back home."
"Like a thief in the night," bitterly.
CHAPTER XI.
The Blue Feather.
Elsa toyed with her emeralds, ap- \
parently searching for some flaw. Like j
a thief in the night was a phrase that •
rang unpleasantly in her ears. Her:
remarkable interest in the man was
neither to be denied nor ignored. To ;
receive the cut direct from a man l
whose pomposity and mental density
had excited her wit and amusement,
surprised her even if it did not hurt.
It had rudely awakened her to the fact!
that, her independence might be lead
ing her into a laybrinth.
Something new had been born in j
her. All her life she had gone about
calmly and aloofly, her head in the
clouds, her feet on moiyitain tops. She |
had never done anything to arouse j
discussion in other women. Perhaps I
suoh a situation had never confronted j
her until lately. She had latelv looke'l |
forth upon life through the lenses of
mild cynicism. So long as she was
rich she might, with impunity, be aa j
indiscreet as she pleased. Her money
would plead forgiveness and tolera
tion. . . Elsa shrugged. But!
shrugs do not dismiss problems. She ;
could have laughed. To have come all
this way to solve a riddle, only to find
a second more confusing than the
first!
Like a thief in the night. She did
not care to know what he had done,
not half so much as to learn what he '
had been. Peculations of some order;
of this she was reasonably sure. So'
why seek for details, when these might
be sordid?
Singapore would see the end, and i
she would become her normal self j
again.
She clasped the necklace around her !
lovely throat She was dressing for |
dinner, really dressing. An Impish
mood filled her with the Irrepressible
desire to shine in all her splendor to
night Covertly she would watch the
eyes of mediocrity widen. Hitherto j
they had seen her in the simple white
of travel. Tonight they should behold
the woman who had been notable
among the beauties in Paris, Vienna,
Rome, London; who had not married a
duke simply because his title could
not have added to the security of her
scsltion. socially or financially.
I into the little mirror above the wash
stand she peered, with smiling and ap
proving eyes. Never had she looked
better. There was unusual color In
her cheeks and the clarity of her eyes
spoke illuminatlngly of superb health.
The An on her face was not made
noticeable in contrast by her shoulders
and arms, old ivory in tint and as
smooth and glossy its ancient Carrara.
"You lovely creature!" murmured
Martha, touching an arm with her lipa.
"You are foolish to dress like this."
She finished the hooking of Elsa's
waist.
"And why?"
"In the first place there's nobody
worth the trouble; and nobody but a
duchess or a . . Martha paused
embarrassedly.
"Or a what? An improper person?"
Elsa laughed. "My dear Martha, your
comparisons are faulty. 1 know but
two duchesses in this wide world who
are not dowdies, and one of them is an
American. An improper person is gen
erally the most proper, outside her pe
culiar environments. Can't you sug
, gest something else?"
Martha searched but found no suit
able reply. She believed that she saw
more clearly into the future than Elsa.
Someone would talk, and in that
strange inscrutable fashion scandal
i has of reaching the ends of the earth,
the story would eventually arrive
home; and there, for all the profes
sions of friendship, it would tlnd admit
j tance. No door is latched when scan
' dal knocks. Martha readily appreci
ated that it was all harmless, to be ex
pressed by a single word, whim. But
Martha herself never acted upon Im
pulse; she first questioned what the
world would say. So run the sheep.
For years Martha had discharged her
duties, if mechanically yet with a
sense of pleasure and serenity. At
this moment she was as one pushed
unexpectedly to the brink of a preci
pice. over which the slightest misstep

of joint.
"1 wish we had gone to Italy," she
remarked finally.
"It would not have served my pur
pose in the least. I should have been
dancing and playing bridge and going
to operas. I should have had no time
for thinking."
"Thinking!" Martha elevated her
brows with an air that implied that
she greatly doubted this statement.
"Yes, thinking. It is not necessary
that 1 should mope and shut myself up
in a cell, Martha, in order to think. ]
have finally come to the end of my
doubts, if that will gratfy you. From
now on you may rely upon one thing,
to a certainty."
Martha hesitated to put the ques
tion.
"I am not going to marry Arthur.
He is charming, graceful, accom
plished; but I want a man. I should
not be happy with him. I can twist
him too easily around my finger. I ad
mit that he exercises over me a cer
tain indefinable fascination; but when
he is out of sight it amounts to the
sum of all this doddering and doubt
ing. It is probable that 1 shall make
an admirable old maid. Wisdom has
its disadvantages. I might be very
happy with Arthur, were I not so
wise." She smiled again at the reflec
tion in the mirror "Now, let us go
and astonish the natives."
There was a mild flutter of eyelids
as she sat down beside Warrington
and began to chatter to him in Italian.
He made a brave show of following
her, but became hopelessly lost after
a few minutes. Elsa spoke fluently;
twelve years had elapsed since his last
visit to Italy. He admitted his con
fusion, and thereafter it was only oc
casionally that she brought the tongue
into the conversation. This diversion,
which she employed mainly to annoy
her neighbors, was, in truth, the very
worst thing she could have done.
They no longer conjectured; they as
sumed.

ATTACKED BY CROWS
Mount Penn Steward Defends Himself
With Shovel
Reading, Pa., March 9. —N. H.
Rhoads, steward at the mountain home
of the local Fraternal Order of Eagles,
on Mt. Penn, had a thrilling experience
yesterday with a flock of several thou
sand hungry ov.s which attacked him |
while he was feeding the herd of goats
kept on the premises.
The rvrts completely surrounded him,
making a great noise and finally they
pounced upon him and began pecking
his face even after he had surrendered
the panful of feed. He was compelled
to heat his way back to the clubhouse
with a shovel, killing a number of the
crows.
