The Seventh An¬ nual Banquet took plače at the Slovene National Home on East 80th with a total assemblage of more than 215 alumni, gradu- ates and school officials. It was a merry crowd gather- ed with a purpose or reviving some old memories and reliving some of the moments that have been lived by the older members when they too vvere honored byi the Alumni in the banquets be¬ fore thy were officially sent away to set marks for themsel- ves in the world to apply ali that they have learned in school.

In an elo- quent appeal he asked the grad¬ uates and the alumni to remem- ber the principle that a good Catholie makes a good Citizen. Following him were Frank T. Suhadolnik, Rev. Father J. J. Oman and Rev. Father A. Gni¬ dovec. Clubs Present Plays A feature of the evening were the two little playlets of the Craspr club and the singing of the Seranaders. The 'Crasprs presented a playlet of a young wife buying food for John which must rnatch the plater with the red roses. The other Playlet was a cross section of back-charaet- er ruination and backfence jour- nalism. While the Seranadet? presented some of the song hits (ContinueU on pa»e four) The open fields, the shady woods and the deep ravines have a power to charm and to cause many to express entire satis- faetion vvhenever they are given a chance to enjoy them. One of those occasions was presented to the members of the Slovene School of the National Home when they went to Gates Mills to have their annual outing. The members of the school certainly enjoyed themselves. What else is there to do under the influence of a smiling sun, green meadows and the smeli of the woods, especially when one lives in the city where there is so much hustle and bustle and vvhen but scant attention can be given to the small lawns that are possible and the smeli of growing things totally anihila- ted by -the smeli of the automo- bile exhausts. The noise, the clatter of ali -kinds of imagin- able vehicles and the sounds of intense industry of the city have a way of making anyone appre- ciate a chance of going to the country and enjoying the sun, the trees and the song of the birds, added to this the thrill of finding of a late Jack-in-the-pul- pit or finding the seed of the long since gone trilium. Games, ExcitemCnt Galore There will be those who will hear for a long time of the won- derful time that was had by everyone wiho could špare en- ough time to come out to the outing last Sunday because un¬ der the conditions and they were ideal many things happen are fond memories for a long time and things that are talked of for many a day after it has been history. Early iSunday morning the members of the Slovene school gathered at the Slovene School ali in readiness to go and long before scheduled time there was hustle and bustle and a nervous ness that expressed the muffled cry “ Let’s go.” Finally at 9:30 the small group started out and met a larger group in Collin- wood and the trip to the outing grounds started. It was but a short time and the group was there ready for the day’s fun and there was a bunch of it. Quick- ly the front lawn was mown and an impromptu game was started that promised to be long endur- ing and full of pep but the en- thusiasm soon waned when de- lightful odors reached the nos- trils of the players soon the dinner was ready and the fun for the afternoon started.

Difficult ascents, hard climbs, treacher- ous footing ali these things add¬ ed to the thrills of an unforget- able afternoon. In the evening the members cooked their own weiners ac- companied with delicious coffee after which the council fire was lit.

Of course it is the picture of John Gornik Jr. and he has graduated last night with the fifteen other Slovenes in the large graduating classes of the Corporate -Colleges of Cleve¬ land. The are hundreds of guesses possible and it may be safely said that hundreds will be wrong. The thing that is the matter with the picture is the fact that there is a picture. Un¬ der ordinary circumstances it is impossible to imagine John Gor¬ nik, Jr, remaining stili 1 long enough to make it possible to take a picture. In his busy life and one crammed with activity it is almost impossible to squeeze enough time together to take a picture. Usually when one talks vvith Johnny the conversation is punctuated with interruption on the phone or some thing else that he is connected vvith. In fact the only people who have been successful in getting an inter- view with the gentlemen were those who had a healthy pair of legs and good wind power to keep on the run while hasty questions were being asked, and in the meantime almost half of the city have been traversed and a dozen places visited before some semblance of an interview is possible. It is no fun to be assigned to intervievv anyone who has been chosen as the chairman of four- teen committees in school, plus being the president of one of the most active lodges on St. Clair but that is really getting ahead of the story. immediately he let himself be known for the amount of activ- ity that is possible to eram into a human being. He attended St. Vitus school but there he did not get any awards or medals for the reason that none were awarded at that time, otherwise he would have copped some of the coveted prizes. Having graduated from St. Vitus he en- rolled in St. Ignatius where he proceeded to take prizes to the right and to the left, having been on the Honor Roli for every sem¬ ester he attended. His awards in ribbons for the various prizes and the medals for the honors that were avvarded him made his trunk look like the collec- tion of a notions store and jew- elry combined. So high was his scholastic rec¬ ord vvhen he completed the course at St. Ignatius Hi that he was graduated vvith the highest honors that the school granted his grand total for the four years was 96.4. It was not until his senior year at the High school that he partook in any extra curricular activities. Mainly because of parential objection^and also a feeling of his own inability. But the obstacles were soon sur- mounted and in the senior year he was made the manager of the Track team plus that he served on Ring committee and the Prom Committee. When he left Ignatius he left vvith the regret that he did not do more. He leftj vvith the highest compli- ments of ali his teachers vvho believed in his abilities. The final date for the Spring Festival of the Nations, spon- sored by the International Insti¬ tute of the Y. W. -C. A., has been decided for Sunday eve¬ ning, June 22, 1930 at 8:00 p. m. The Festival will take plače at the Shell in Edgevvater Park, and therefore, there will be no admission charges. There will be about tvvelve na- tionality groups included and each will give a short scene ty- pical of its country. The pro¬ gram will not be lengthy and the time 'has been limited to about nine minutes for each grqup. Many extensive prep- arations are being made to make this the finest nationality group spectacle that has as yet been pi’oduced. The Jugoslav Slovene Club of the International Institute had at the time of its organization chosen a motto, “to promulgate Slovene culture among Ameri- cans.” Up to the present time it has aided in a number of Slo¬ vene educational interests and at the present time it will offer a Slovene peasant vvedding scene for the Spring Festival. About thirty girls will participate in the program. The characterization of the Slovene vvedding scene is unique and interesting. The scene is laid in the vvedding hali and the guests -dance the pok-schottis- dhe. The bride vvith her attend- ants appears, at tvvelve o’clock the vvreath of flovvers is taken off, and the vvedding group con- cludes vvith the pillovv dance. There is something charming about ali vvedding scenes. Every- one vvants to see the bride, and vvhen she rejoices, everyone has (Continued on page two) 10,000 SEE FIRST CARROLL COMMENCE¬ MENT AT PUBLIC HALL Wm. R.

After the performance there vvill be dancing, for vvhich the Strugglers’ Four Harmony Aces vvill furnish the mušic. The gen¬ eral public is cordially invited to attend. The first commencement of the John Carroll University and Corporate Colleges and schools of the Dioceses of Cleveland is a fact. It has gone into history vvhen 303 graduates of the nine schools and colleges received the diplomas before a crovvd of about 10,000 last night in the com¬ bined halls of the Public Audi- torium and the Musič Halls. Promptly at 8 the colorful ac- ademic procession headed by tvvo marshalls began to vvend its way from the stage of the aud- itorium and passed into the hali proper and then from the back of the auditorium it slowly vvended its way in slovv measured steps of the graduates and the faeulty bodies vvho took their places assigned them in the front of the Public Hall vvhile the faculty took its plače in long choir rovvs on the stage. Applause thundered through the hali as every nevv school en¬ tered the auditorium and the applause vvas very deceptive in shovving vyhich school vvas the most popular. Applause vvas equally great for any and each of the schools. While the procession of the graduates and the faculty vvas in progress it vvas evident that the colorful dress of the caps and the govvns vvas picturesque and the colors of the defrees and the ranks of each person in the procession vvas_ vvonderful the real glory vvas revealed vvhen they vvere seated. The crimson of the academic dress of the pre- lates and ali the colorful com- binations of the members of the faculty stood as a contrasting background of the vvhite robed nurses and the black of the graduates. The loudest and most brilliant photographic flashes tempor- arily paralyzed the audience vvhen the official photograph vvas taken. After that the pro¬ gram vvent forvvard speedily. Father Rodman introduced the first speaker William R. Hop¬ kins vvho spoke for the city. Mr. Hopkins spoke for West- ern Reserve and vvelcomed the opportunity of congratulating the graduates and the idea of corporate schools. The bishop vvas introduced as the next speaker and he outlin- ed the history of Catholie edu- cation in America and told of the purposes of the separate school from the public school system. After a short interlude on the organ over vvhich presided Vin¬ cent H. Percy the graduates of the various schools vvere pre¬ sented by the deans of the school and they vvere avvarded their diplomas and the colors that designated their degrees. In conclusion ali the graduates and the undergraduates rose in a body and sang for the first occasion the Varsity song that vvas only recently vvritten by Rev. Albert C.

Sunday, June 15, has been set aside as Father’s Day to do him honor . Father hirRself suspects that it is pure- ly a commercial idea and if it were for himself he would rather prefer to make two mother Days rather than have one set aside for himself. His nature will not allow it. He is not inclined to be sentimental and to accept ali those compliments that will be given him. As for us we are glad that one day has been set aside so that we do not forget and can openly do something in honor of the man who has been our earliest hero and the man who made it possible for us to know our mother. JOHN GORNIK Sunday June 15 is Fathers Day. A day set to do a little honor to father in the same manner that honor j ^ has been done to mother about a month ago. It is almost certain that there will not be a fraction of the same celebration and the same exchange of tender com^pliments paid to father as there was to mother. The position is peculiar. For years mother has been honored and the most tender things have been written and said in her honor. The greatest compliment that has been given to father was the acknowledgement that he is a good šport. Somehow in the rush of times father is forgotten and is not the object of the same tender memories as mother is the object of. And no doubt the father ap- preciates the fact that he not made so much of as mother is. His masculine nature cloes not allow him to accept the courtesies that are expressed and offered to mother. His miatter of factness and his capacity as bread earner have placed him in the position of final arbiter, judge or whatever position one is accustomed to hold or to imagine to give to the father. A sentimentalist would have a hard time to explain the reason why father is forgotten or at least seems to be forgotten. To others the explanation is simple. Every little boy and every man can teli you that" his father was his greatest hero. The man who stood for ali wisdom and as a symbol of strength. And there is a reason for that position. He was the first real man with whom every boy is acquainted and because of some pants warming thaat was applied when there was strict necessity the boy got the first hand notion of strength well applied. In youth it is not uncommon to meet a youngster who got a black eye or suffered other physical dis- comfort because his father’s honor was assailed or some part of honor that every other boy had to acknowledge was tarnished by some slip of the tongue. The little boy is always read.y to defend the family honor with phy- sical means. Though the father does not approve of it and sometimes makes that fact very evident. He is ne- vertheless proud of the youthful boy. Though these are exceptions to the daily life FATH¬ ER fills a plače in the life of every boy and girl that is hard to replace. The first contact with the world has been furnished by father more than by mother and for that reason he has stood as a symbol of protection rather than love and in that role he has been very strong bond \vith everything that meant strenght, principle, honor, UJbris Conducted by the St. Clair Branch Public Libr»y. (Continued from page one) “Carroll News” and in that cap- acity he served for the whole four years at Carroll. . In the first year he served as member of several committees and each succeeding year his ab- ility and his activity was recog- nized by his. fellow students and by those in charge. To recount the activities in which he parti- cipated in would be to recount the history of the extracurri- cular history of John Carroll University. Now that summer is here with sunny days there is so warm much entertainment, to be had out of doors, perhaps you would much rather not sit and read a long book through. Yet you stili desire to do some reading along the lines in which you are particularly interested. For one’s summer reading then there are the current periodicals. The periodicals contain the most up to date reading publish¬ ed. They cover a great variety of material from light fiction to the purely literary reading, from science, history and cur¬ rent topics, to gardening, travel, the theatre and even the movies. For the reader interested in science and scientific research there are such magazines as Popular Mechanics, Scientific American, Radio News, and Science and Invention. These will give the very latest devel- opments in the world of science. Literary Digest, Outlook, Current History, Review of Re- views and World’s Work are -sug- gested for those who desire to keep up with the political sit- uation. There are several magazines such as Good Housekeeping, Woman’s Home Companion, La- dies’ Home Journal and Pictor- ial Review, which contain sug- gestions for the mother of a family. Such things as menus for meals. Any house keeper who is obliged to prepare three meals a day, soon realizes that her ingenuity for planning well balanced and appetizing meals, wears out. These magazines also contain other helpful hints for the house wife and there are some entertaining stori.es in their fiction section. The best literary magazines are of course the Atlantic Monthlj, Bookman, Century, Harper’s and Scribner’s in these one gets the prize novels of the year issued in serial form. The library contains a large selection of periodicals and they are 'here for your use and en- joyment.While some c-f thern are to be used only as reference in the library yet a number of them are for circulation. His Banner Year It may be a crude way of do- ing things but business was rather brisk for Irving R. Gaert- ner of St. Louis, a professional bili collector who besides send- ing bili through the mails shamed them by parking his car in front of their home on which vrere painted s-igns as “Dead Beats Advertised”, “Bad Bills Collected”, “Why be an Easy Mark?”. The police did not like the ethics of the thing and got after Irving R. Gaertner. 1T In Villars-Surmarne, France one Leonie Lebsche, an old maid left an ineome of $6,000 which was to be used for young mar- ried women who promise to raise families. His final year was his banner year. Everything that was done at Carroll and some of the other schools as well was J done at John’s advice or under his lead- ership. As financial manager of the Athletic department he has won the admiration of ali those with vrhom he čarne in contact. Fourteen committees simul- taneously ciaimed his Services and each committee had him as its chairman and each committee did its work as it has rarely been done before. His marvel- # ous work as manager of the Little Theatre the dramatic club of Carroll received his help. He served as the president of the Carroll Union and Študent or- ganization. His greatest work was done as the man who was responsible for the wonder gath- ering that vvitnessed the Com- mencement of the Corporate Colleges of Cleveland last night. His. extraordinary extracurri- cular activity did not hinder him in his studies and he was always among the leaders of the class in studies. And even in his studies he belonged to clubs that 1 spent extra time to perfect their knowledge of the subject that he studied. Thus he was the chair¬ man of the German Study Club and other organizations of sim- ilar nature. ed teams that won champion- ships. In 1928 the Young Men won the first S. D. Z. cup in in- door under his managership. Last year the club was so strong that it had no competition and again this year they stand a good chance. 36 under his leadership also annexed the crown in bowling in the St. Clair League. It was Johnny’s managership and, his work that was mostly responsible that the youngjnen undertook the first Boxing show in the Slovene National Home and made a success of it. In the whole article we have been extolling and telling you of the niče things of Johnny. It would be one sided to teli of only one side and not of the other. Of the things that he is not we inquired of them also. But we were disappointed. He was too busy doing constructive things to cultivate anything that vvould mar his record. The Cleveland Journal and the Slovenes are glad to know that there is one very active man in the roli of graduates this year who is as interested in the Slo¬ venes as he is in his school and doubt there vvill be many GRIN, Just as the porter ni ladder for Mr. Wiggj lls ac ^ per berth passenger ^’ at > to retire, the engi ne ° blew to indicate the approaching a stati 0u porter went out into "tii S ° 4 bule to open the do 0r !

Sliort History of Slo- vene Literature By F. T. SUHADOLNIK 6. VALENTINE VODNIK What Pohlin and Dev wanted to do Zois was fortun- ate enough in doing. When he succeeded in inviting Vodnik from his work in 1 794 and having him interested in literature he succeeded in giving the Slovenes their first poet, Valentine Vodnik. Valentine Vodnik was born on February 3, 1758 at Zibert at Zgorna Siska. His parents were of a rugged stock and longlived, both of which can be seen in the poetry of the first Slovene Poe';. Early in the youth ‘‘he neglects his toys and play, mud puddles and sliding on the quarry pond” and went willingly to school where he learned to read and write. An unusually bright boy he was sent to schocl at Novo Mesto at the school of his uncle the Franciscan, Father Marcel, >vehere he vvas pre- pared in ali the R’s to enter the Latin School. He went to Ljubljana and finished the higher schools in the re- quired six years, after which he entered the Franciscan Order under the name Marcelian. In 1 782, he vvas con- secrated priest. As a študent he came under the speli and the en- thusiasm of Father Marko Pohlin and vvas consequently also very much interested in Slovene literature and Slo¬ vene poetry. In imitation of Pohlin he began to versify in the classic style. His main work consisted of the lofty ode modeled the Latin Classicists. His poems he sent to the Pissanice. “Mila Pesem” written as a farewell to Father Marko, ‘Proshna fa Krajnsko Modrino’ and “kraj¬ nske Modrine fhluvanje” vvritten on the occasion of the death of Queen Marie Theresa belong to this type of poetry. The work is pathetic in content and filled with rhetorical aid in imitation of Dennis, the language is poor and the poetic thoughts are very poor. It vvas evident that Vodnik vvas not the master of that type of poem and could not measure to the task that he imposed upon him¬ self. Much better is the lyric poem of “Klek” vvhich he moralizes and teaches. Even in this type of poem he is not at his best. It vvas only in the poems in vvhich he touches upon his ovvn native land and the experiences that he has fe.lt and the things that he has observed in vvhich he is at his best. The sturdiness and the ruggedness of the Slovene nature are best exemplified in the poems of his beloved Slovenia and of the sturdy Slovene vvhich are refleeted in his ovvn nature. His "Sadovolne Krajnz” is a typical example of his native poetic genius. Whenever he chose to choose a subject of that nature he vvas never vvorried about the form or the style because it flovved naturally and in that natural inspiration he never vvorried.

But fortunately vvith the Pissanice there vvas no one to give the young man any inspiration and encouragement. The Pissanice disap¬ peared and vvith them the youthful poet who devoted himself to other vvork. Soon after the occasion of active in poetry Vodnik s complete method of life changed. Joseph II established many nevv parishes and for that purpose he reeruited priests from the monasteries, vvhich he dissolved or even those vvhich he permitted to stay. Vodnik received his summons on January 3, 1 784 vvhile he vvas stationed at the Franciscan M‘onastary in Ljubljana, and permission from the Bishop to go to Soro as the pastor vvhere he re- mained until February 1785. The leaving of the mon- astic vvalls did not put him out of the Franciscan order vvhose rule he follovved privately until he vvas dispensed from the religious vovvs by the Pope in 1804. From Soro he vvent to Bled vvhere he remained until 1 788, after vvhich he vvas sent to Ribnica. As a curate he served at Gorjusah in Bohinija vvhich office he assumed in 1 793. The station of Gorjusah vvas very important in the life of Vodnik for it brought him in closer contact vvith the Baron Zois vvith vvhom he vvas already acquainted at Bled. The closer contact vvas reached through the me- dium of a manuel on Mineralogy vvhich Vodnik began vvhile at Gorjusah and of vvhich Zois vvas the expert. In- stead cf emphasizing the vvork on Mineralogy Zois at- tempted to interest the promising man in literary vvork. In a letter to Vodnik in 1 794 Zois asked Vodnik to help him in the vvork of Kumerdej’s dictionary and at the same time he encouraged him to continue his ovvn literary ef- forts, advising him to read Horace excjusively to get back into his old poetic vein. “With imitation and pure tran- slation nothing vvorthvvhile can be accomplished.” Lastly the letter explains a method of popular education by vvay of the almanaes, vvith instructions for the peasants, and ali other rural Sciences as vvell as a mixture of poems, short sayings, of vvhich Vodnik vvas to be the editor. hvalite _ S.

On con- tinuous encouragement he also sent Zois some poetry of vvhich the Baron gave his criticism. The “Veliko Pratico” appeared three successive years under the editorship of Vodnik. The primary ob¬ ject vvas educational. Vodnik vvished to educate in grad- ual steps and in the first yearly editions for 1 795 are found some excellent treatises on Slovene geography. There is also some lementary arithmetic, vveatherforcast- ing and domestic economy. Nor is the complete vvork of an educational char¬ acter. Vodnik vvas clever enough to knovv that little by little an interest in literature could be created by slovv and patient vvork. Among the more serious vvork of a practical nature are found some entertaining tale or even some story vvith a moral. Besides this there are poems of his ovvn among these are found some of the best speci- mens of his vvork. “Krainz tvoja deshela je sdrava,” l 0f % sacu and ‘Iliriji oživljeni” are the example' With the death of Linhart Zois vvas anxioU s such and active men as Vodnik near by so he c°“ B * nim in his ovvn projeets.

Th, As it is to be expected wthen two powerful teams, 'both cham- pions, engage in battle one must lose, but only after a bitter struggle. And that is j ust the way the Loyalite - Slovenian Young Men’s Club shindig was played. Either team looked like a vvinner until the lvery ilast pitch ended the spirited bali game. Good fielding and splen- did pitching on the part of both teams kept the fans in sus- pense throughout. First' Defeat in Two Years The Loyalites finally met their master after successive victor- ies for the last two years. They were jheld helpless before the slants and shoots of Frank Yer- se, who realized his happy day, having lost to the Loyalites on previous occasions. On this day Yerse was invincible, pitching the game of his Life. Usually wild, he walked but two men, and that after the eight inning. Only three wide)y scattered hits vvere made off his mystifying delivery. The first hit was cred- ited to- F. Kuhel who started the game with a clean single to left, but was left stranded., J. ( Gry- bovvski began the fourth stanza, smacking a bot liner through the box, on which Eddie Kova¬ čič made a beautiful one hand stop back of second, but was not in position to throw the rutiner, out at first, the bali arriving a mite too late. This was the sec¬ ond safe blow, coming in the fourth frame. A Kuhel reci e ved c red it for the third hit in the seventh inning. It was a slash- ing liner to right field, and un- der ordinairy cirrumstantees should have ben caught. But the right fielder did not judge the bali properly and it went for a triple. Max Sodja also hurled a brill- iant game for nlne innings, al- lowing only three hits, but fal- tering iti the extra Sessions, when three more hits and two wild pitches proved his doom. Yerse Scores First Run Eddie Kovačič slammed a ter- rific liner down the third base .line to left field, which Rudy Cetina fielded on the run and thre\v to. second; but Kovačič never stopped in Ijis running and sped to third base, sliding feet first. He was safe. But the rule of the league prohibits slid¬ ing feet first with špike shoes. So Eddie was declared out. This vvas a heart breaker, being the first hit for the Young Men’s Club, which was made in the fifth inning. However, they got their break in the same inning. Frank Yerse foilowed with a sharp single and seored the first run on an infield out and two wild pitches. With the Young Men leading 1-0 going into the last half of the ninth, it appeared that with the iower half of the Loyalites line up at the bat, that the game weuld come to a sudden end. Moreso when Stanley Kromar, who vvas the first batsman, whiffed. But J. Kuhel drew a pass, advaneed to second on an infield out, went to third on a wiid pitch, and seored a moment lat&r when a high pitch bounced out of “Chuck” Slapnik’s glove. Kovačič, who had already got- ten two hits, opeiied the tenth chapter with a hard smash to left. Yerse follovved with an- other hit. Two wild pitches and Harry Lausche’s hit to right short netted the winners two runs which totaled three in ali. The Loyalites got a runner on second, but could not score; Yer- se '\vhiffing Cetina for the fina! out. iMore Sports osa Pa|« 4 ISI town. His name was Ignatz, Per¬ ko.

The fifth team, Mir, should be given con- sideration at the present, it is onlv one game removed from the quartet battling for first plače.

AValsli.) R IGID, the man paused in his task of picking the lock and listenecl to the sound of a liigh-pitched . voice vvithin. : ‘Manev,” quavered the cracked voice of a very old tvoman, “I want isonte coffee.” . “Wliat, ma’am ! At this time of night and at your time of lifei” (fueried a deep contralto vdice. “Np%, no imperdence, ,Taney!”. rep- rimanded the first speaker. “Jes’ bring me the coffee when I want it.” “Yes’m, ITI get it for y.ou,” Janey placatingly replied. “Tliat’s a good girl,” cackled the other. : The man at the back door softly cursed his lučk. ‘Tirat the old dame, he muttered under his breath. He bvould have to wait in the chill damp- ness of the night until the old lady and her companion slept soundly. After wliat seerued to the vvaiting man an interminable lengtli of time the sound of voices again reached lum. “Tliafs good coffee you made, .Taney,” commended the cracked 1’al- setto. “Yes'm,” ansvvered the deep con¬ tralto toneš, “That’s what I prideš my- self on—makin’ good coffee.” ‘‘No one can beat vou now, though I could liev once, he! he!” cackled tlie liigh old voice. ‘‘Ah, now what you givin’ me,” cx- postulated the other. “Tliafs the truth, tliafs the truth,” tjuavered the voice of the first speaker. The man outside swore again un¬ der his breath. Would the two women never quit their chattering? At every liopeful silence . he vvould renevv liis picking of the lock, but at every at- tempt the voices would again resume their conservation. Each time he paused, listening to tlie homely talk vvithin. A longer silence tlian nsual. This time he successfully picked the lock and softly opened the kitchen door. With his hand on tlie knob he paused in his tracks, for the velvet black si¬ lence of the night vvlthout the house vas rent by tlie quivering toneš of Grandma Farrar. “Janey! Janey!” she called. “Yes’m, \vhat is it?” čarne tlie deep contralto toneš. “I vant to-morry that you buy sev- eral small mouse traps for me, an’ put them ali over this house. I been liear- in’ them pesky mice ali evenin’.” “There, there, grandma,” the other replied soothingly. “Ef you want, ITI get up and take a shoi with my re¬ volver at the little varmints in the kitclien, an’ tliafll scatter them, so’s the.v \von’t trouble you any more.” ! The man at the door lieard a rust- ling sound as of some one searching under a pillovv for a gun. Softly puli* ing the door to, he fled into the misty blackness of the night to the safer shelter of the deserted sliack at the edge of town, uliere he liad passed the oarlier hours preceding his^attempt •at robbery. The nest morning the beckoning road had lured liim furth- er afield. The siin sent its bearn aslant the big bed in which Grandma Farrar •slept alone, and dancing across her face aivakened her to the duties of another day. “Thanks be to the Lord! I’ve passed anotlier night _safely,” slie lnunnured, as she arose and dressed herself ivith scrupulous čare. The old lady went into the kitchen, lighted an oil stove and proceeded to get her morning meal. Having eaten her breakfast, Grandma Farrar leis- urely cleared the table, washed the dislies and placed each one in the cup- board, ivliich, she proudly boasted, had been a vvedding gift to lier forty years before. , Tlien she ivalked to the kitchen door, took dovm a key hanging on a nad, and iitted the key in the lock, liut it did not turn. Impatiently she placed her hand on the knob and the door opened easily. AVith delight in mr eyes slie gazeči at tlie blossoming orchard. But speculation chased the .delight from them as slie turned back and again tried the key in the door. . Uieii slie realized the lock had been Jjroken. \ “That—if3 mine!” the torted. “I started on tho tratll D night, but When I’d logi t , t0a i s I came back for it.” K ; .' “Why 'bere.?” Grandma' “How came you to dr 0 n , Qetn as 4 yard?”- ‘ " , .J-^ Ufv “Well, a—n It!
