Therefore, the vacation. We need now and then to get away from the place We know too well, the people we see too much. Among those people we must count ours-elves. We must break loose. from that, familiar, tyran- nous identity that looks at us in the morning mirror, eats out every meal, sits at our desk and does our work and shakes hands with all our friends. To feel like a new man is to put off the old one whom we have endured too long. How can we bring variety into a life bound down to plain, dull, drab rou- tine, by family cares. by ties not simp- ly industrial, but parental and filial and domestic? How can we break away'from business that must be done, when there is no on‘ else to do it? \Ve cannot Shirk on; burden of duty» to other shoulders. We must carry on, since we have no substitute. What is to supply the need of change, the need of a refreshing difference be5 tween today and to-morrow the refreshing differences of scene, of personal acquaintance, of vital experi- ence. ‘ at largefoutside the realm of music, is due to the unexpected breaking in upon the familiar and the common- place. “Variety is the spice of life” is the proverbial way of putting the truth that human nature delights in Music owes much of its charm to its modulations, its shifts and its sur- pries. A great deal of the joy of life Composers of music have often chosen to take a theme of simplicity, dignity and beauty and repeat it with subtle changes. Sir Edward Elgar wrote a series which he named “Enig- ma,” giving to the sections the initials of his friends. Brahms took a theme from Haydn as his text; Arensky used an idea from a song of Tchaikowsky; some writers of music have borrowed from their own earlier works a melody for ingenious elaboration.

We ought to have an intellectual outreach beyond anything .We doâ€"if the solid earth is beneath our feet, so are the stars set over our heads to remind us that this world is not all. Perhaps we cannot travel to far places, nor share the presence of delightful peopl-e, nor go when we are tied to a delightful avocation. But we can, if we will, “find pleasure in our work.” We can do things with a difference â€"â€" and that difference should mean a quickened enthusiasm, a fresh determination, an unquen‘ch- able will to live and to do our best un- der all conditions.

Some one was moving about below. “Bless me,” he muttered. “I suppose it is time for the ‘hired man’ to arise.” As if m answer to that thought, the stair door was open- ed, and Maida called softly, “Jackson.” “Directly, ma’am.” No one was about when he went be- low. The row of shining milk-pails was gone, so he went on to the barn. He could not but admire the neat, trim figure of the girl as she arose from her stool with a brimming pail of milk in her hand, and Maida decided milk- ing wasn’t at all monotonous, when one had some one with whom to ex- change pleasantries. a stone and left the furrow, the handle striking him a blow on the thigh. “Jackson!” Maida’s voice sounded as if she was amused. “You have to steady the plow by the handles.” She came to his assistance, showing him how it was done, and got him started once more. “You‘see there is a right and a wrong side to a plow.” “I do not believe there is a thing on this farm, but what has a right and a wrong side to it,” he said, as he start, ed.ofl'. When noon came he was tired; by night he was dead tired, but he was Md toward the pasture, adw her, and called: “Is them right and a wrong side to a 'r,: y In answu‘, she gave a pecu- .:ar shrill whistle. Both horses heard, dashed past him, through the gate he had left open, and straight to the wait- ing girl. Gaily she waved her hand to Jack, as she turned toward the stable, followed by the willing animals. “Well, I’ll be darned!” he ejaculat- ed, as he went back to the barn. With Maida’s help the team was harnessed, and Jack started off brave- ly to “put his hand to the plow.” He fastened the traces, and started the team; walking along by the side of the plow. “I wonder what those sticks are for?" referring to the handles. Suddenly, thepoint 9f the plqw struck Maida watched him as h toward the pasture to CM“? They seemed to kw"! t‘n strange, and wet“: not a come near tb‘m â€" “Yes. But I say,” in a confidential tone; “do you know the right and the wrong side of a plow?” She laughed and nodded. “You will have to catch the horses first.” “Horses? What for?” Jack seemed surprised. “To draw the plow.” “I hope I prove a bright pupif," he said, with a resigned air, Whenâ€"they had finished breakfast, Maida said: “Father wants you to plow! toâ€"dgy.” W The corners of Mr. Carleton’s mouth were twitching. “Well,” he said, gaz- ing ceilingward, “to-marrow you can learn that there is a right and a wrong side to a plow.\l\Iaida will show you what I mean.” “I have learned many things this afternoon, sir,” interrupted Jack. “I am quick to learn if I set about it. Why, I milked a cow! And I learned, too, that there is a right and a wrong side to the beasts.” “You know nothing at all about farm work, hoWâ€"" “There is no game, really. I was down to my last quarter and hungry. Your house looked inviting, so I stop- ped. Then I found you needed assist- ance, and I needed a job. So here I am.” “Oh, no!

He laughed aloud when he thought of what his fastidious mother and sister might say to see him in overalls. But dad! Well, dad was dirt'erent. Dad had wanted to buy a farm, but mother and Grace had ob- jected andâ€"so had he. Still, even now, he would not care to live on a farm unless Maida could be there. He had known her less than two weeksâ€"â€" to be exact, he had known her eleven days, and they had grown to be good chums. Even Mr. Carleton, who now began to hobble about with the aid of crutches, liked to be included in their pleasantries and more serious talks. dvcmmcg “Wonderful!

An unsuspected carpenter was con- nected with a murder by means of sawdust found on a piece Qf overall which the victim had torn from his assailant and which was found at the scene of the crime. The chief value of the new plan has been in breaking down the bravado of criminals. They frequently conâ€" fess when shown that their first stories were lies. One murderer tried to prove an alibi by saying that he had slept in an open field the night of- the crime. Microscopic examination of his cloth- ing showed that he had slept in a. quarry. In some instances a. more thorough process, in which heating figures, is used to separate all particles of for- eign matter. From the dirt thus se- cured the d-etectives determine wheth- er the suspect has been telling the truth. .
