a very hundsome man. they tell me
of coprae I wOUld think so. And yet
I'm (tolng to v. rltf here for you, Mary
'that 1 have never seen as handsome i
man as your own father. John Cor
don Wnh that thouglit In mind. 1 wrdti
the following message t,, m daughl
Mary to present to her with my Jour
nal The li Iter read.
My Beloved I'aughler Sometime,
, dear, 1 almost wish that John Gor
don had never met me that fate had
not sent him to the little country
place when- we met and that w
should not hae been taken off our
feet bj mutual magnetism arid mutual
youth. Then mj dear daughter, per-lrp;-
he would hae married Kli7.abct h
Jaoreland, who was his chlldhoo i s
sweetheart and they would have been
happy together. Hut after all. the sad
ness, traged and pnln I cannot fully
subscribe to that wish, for f.ite gave
me one great kindness, one Inestim
able boon when she placed you my
dear Mary, In my arms.
When you read this little book, my
dear daughter, do not jump to the
Quick conclusion of J outh that your
father wis wholly to blame. I to mutt
bear my share of the consequences 'f
our mutual mistake. looking back I
think 1 was a little bit stubborn yes
more than a little bit, I made no al
lowance for vour father's bringing up
I was just as decided In ms own mind
that my ways wen- best, as he was
ir. his mind that his was the only right
Way. You see, my dear, nature Is n
wonderful magician she mesmerises
the whole World with thoughts of love
She makes two people coalesce forget
nil the sties of life and move about in
the glorious dreams "f imagination.
Not until marriage does nature allow
thm to think sanely, without emotion
and then having brought them togeth
er, hrr work Is done and she goes on
looking about for other men and wo
men to pair And that Is the reason,
mv dear child, that marriage Is dif
ferent from what we call love M.ir
riage, like love. ! only an Incident of
life, a ver different Incident but one
that we ina. n:ike very happy or one
which, through ur mistaken Ideas WC
can turn into o torture chamber In
which we must live "until death do us
part."
romniTon idvlrc t Daughter
Mti r. .
like to hf. ve people r;bou: us who turn
a br-feht, ili'uve tuce ivjva.t.s i.te ..
stem oi looking Iikc die (hi) oi uoom.
idaybe you uave liti,c enough to gun
over, but ir. smttiui at liie. You will
get better results.
If ou have .i dark and sullen na
ture, and a.'c given to dwelling on your
wrongs, t.ik a course of liver medi
cine, it ,ii change your whole out
Iook on huuiaulty ai.J tne world in
general .ioi uuiness is mostly liver
instead of sensitiveness ot ooul, any
way. Oi cou.se It reiulres real hero
ism to give tip iiidulg.ng in your orgies
of GCif-pits it s like Hitting the dope
hiibit but it will pa :.i the end.
After cheerfulness, the next Item in
an agreeaoie peiitonailty is sjeifroon-
jtrol, wnosf uther name is oiniablity.
Don't regard every cinic.sni of your
work as a deadly insult. If you have
made a tirltftiike, apologize tor It and
ten your ooj I thai It snail not occur
.tguin. 1J0 nig e.iougn to accept sug-
'gc.itions, and Just enough to permit
your employer to have Ins own work
done In his own way
' And If your superior Is sometimes
unjust In his faultfinding, make al
lowance for ht3 nerves, ano Instead of
I luring up in a lage t;ay the kind "Ord
!inat turns away wrath.
The third Item ID an agreeable per
sonality is the lack of egotism It Is
I oelf-concelt that makes people shy and
ditfldent and grumpy, and hard to get
along with It's because you have In
your secret soul that you haven t x .
your just deserts In not being s million
airess, with everybody kow-towing in
ou and burning Incense before you
that keeps you always on the look
out to see if somebody else is pre
ferred before you in the office, und
that fills j ou with suspicion and envy,
and spite and all uncharitablenesfi
Cut that out. t.'ult thinking about
yourself Turn vour mind on other
people- and other Interests, and you
will find that Instead of repulsing peo
ple, you will draw tlu-m to you and
that somehow your luck win change.
Thi- fourth and most important
thing In acquiring a pleasant person
ality though Is Just humnnness. The
fraternal spirit the brotherhood and
sisterhood of man. Cultivate that Ite-
member a compliment for the person
who docs a pleci- of good work Say a
word of sympathy, or congratulation
to those about you when some sor
row or Joy comes to them. Help some
beginner with her work. Make every
one who comes near you feel that
somehow the world Is a better place
because you live in it.
After all. when we analyse what we
call an agreeable personality, it is very
simple It c omes prett nearly to bc
ilng the golden rule, put Into action
treating others as we would like to
be treated
ThM is why it makes such a hit
With us We like' the results, no mat
ter how little we practise It ourselves.

n a field of mullcn stalks
i liese rhullen stalks were t-'ii weeds

he leaves dry up, leaving onlv the
i'.nlk. which is as tall us a broomstick;
ind -llmost ns thin. L'ncle Wlgglly I
listened lo the voices In the field of J
mullcn sialics.
"1 live In a very fine house." said
cmc voice. "It has a roof of lar pa
per ami It has windows and doors In
it And we have a wire fence around
our house, only I found a hole In the
ivlre and that's how I got out."
"Hum I wonder who tliat Is?"
thought Unch YA lKgilv I don't seem
to know that voice Must be some now

Then another voice said
Well, my L'ncle Wlgglly lives in
nirt. hollow stump DuUgalOW, and
It has Windows and a roof, and Nurs,
lane FUZSy WllSgy lives there, too"
"Bul where do you live? asked the
voir.- that had first spoken "Do you
liv- In a stylish house like miiK-'.'"
We used lo live with L'n:lo W:s
glly," spoke up the second voice, but
he lives in his hollow stump bungalow
with Nurse lane now 1 guess you
wouldn't like our house. It's down un
der the ground, and Is called aa bur
row When we want a new houso my
father or mother dig it with their paws
m l lie dirt and Susie and 1 help'
Ha! 1 know who that is, anyhow,"
thought l'ncle Wlgglly. ' That s Sam
nut Uttletall. the i.ibblt bov. and I
did use to live at b's house Hut I
wonder to whom he is'talklng? ome
proud chap. I'll venture to say."
The bunnv gentleman peeked over
the top of a mullcn stalk: and there
he saw Iteglnald Spot Tall, the pea
cock ho. Iteggle, as lie was called,
for short, was strutting around in
front of Sammle, the rabbit and Keg
g'e had his tall spread out so the sun
shone on the golden purple feathers
v,!ih vvcro marked with spots like
eyes.
' Won't ou come over and pla at
my house?" Invited Sammle "It Isn't
ss nice as yours, Kegel' but we can
ha v e some fun "
"Booh! Io you think I d play in a
common ordinary dirt house, and get
my nice feathers all soiled ' ' asked the
peacock boy- "I guess not' I'm go
ing to my 5wn stylish house where
we have a window and door."
with that Reggie strutted away
spreading out his spotted tall larger
than ever, and Samrile Stayed behind
among the mullcn stalks, looking
rather sad and feeling o,uite badly.
"What's the matter. Sammle?" asked
I'acle Wlgglly. coming out with his
tall silk hut and pink, twinkling nose,
"Are ybu afraid It's going to rain0-
"No ' said Sammle. "but I wish I
lived In a fine house like your hollow

Soon they came to the hole that vvns
the front door of Sammlc's burrow

"ih. the T,oodlc Oodle Is right af

his tall and followed Hammle down tho BBM
hole. Being a peacock boy and not a
full-grown fowl, Keggie could easily
get into the hole.
'We're Just in time " said Uncle
