The guide was showing a party of
American tourists over a noted
church in London. When they
reached the belfry the guide said:
"This 'ere bell is a bit unusual, it !
is. We only ring it on the occasion
of a visit from the Lord Bishop, or
when we 'ave a fire, a flood, or some
such calamity.'"

rc^L-Uh^any girls of
their own7 always plenty, and plenty
good enough to pass down to Reina.
But it hurt her mother- a prou
oiece if ever there was one. She
^ the same black dress from
time her husband was buried until
she was buried herself.
Burnham village was coming to
the climax of its fairytale-the re
turn of its ugly duckling who had
gone away twelve years before and
brought the world to her_ feet N<?
body had seen her since? nor even
hpr picture. Her mother had pinched
herself cruelly to give the Kir P?^
er lessons? then the music-master
had brought a great diva to hear
his Dupil all unawares. She haa
listened rapturously and taken Reina
away within two, days. Since that
there had been only snippets of
news though now and again men
tion of the girl had been reprinted
in the local daily. Only of her pr<^
fessional success - never an^1^
personal. Two people knew the
reason ? Dr. Cantril and the banker
he held in leash, as that gentleman
held in leash the editor. ?
Henry Deering came himseu
along with several nimble young
men He was the village Aladdin
given to speaking and seeing things
gdone right off the reel. /'Wish you d
let me get the florist, he said to
Betsy. "Home flowers don t seem
fine enough for our only celebrity.
By the way, will she fetch along her
husban ^ none to fetch? unless
she's achieved him within the last
week," Betsy answered. "She has
signed Reina May to all the corre
spondence about coming here.
"Why I heard rather she was to
marry her musicmaster? that was
why he was so keen to secure the
big chance for her," Deering said.
"Heard it from Josephine Cantru,
I reckon," Betsy said, looking down.
Deering flushed, but after a silent
breath nodded, saying: "She wrote
me the news? remember I was out
on the Coast when Reina went
away." .
"I see! Many things! Betsy ta
terrupted. Then with a small laugh :
"She'll get here around four in the
afternoon ? if that wretched train
makes connections on the dot.
"H? m! She'll be here anyway,
Deering broke in. "We'll meet her
at the Junction? you and I? and
fetch her in my car."
They were twenty minutes early.
Betsy all but laughed at Deering's
uneasiness. But her heart was full
?and soft toward him. He had been
tricked? cheated of {lis chance for
happiness, however it might be with
Reina. She had long suspected his
love for her ? spinster that she was
now she understood. Reina might
have forgotten him wholly ? even
then there would be balm in this
new contact after the long blank
years. She was at his elbow, a little
tremulous, with shining eyes. Her
breath came quicker as she saw in
the midst of the half dozen leaving
the Pullman a figure wholly strange
except for the eyes. Reina's eyes
unmistakably? faithful eyes as well.
They brightened at sight of Betsy's
honest ugliness, then rising to the
man beside her closed swiftly, as
from light to bright. Instantly they
opened? she came forward, a crea
ture of undulant grace, of charm,
or presence, as unlike as possible
to the pale snow-drop personage of
twelve years back. She had found
not only fame, and friends, and
wealth, but beauty unbelieveable.
What words may tell fitly of the
night? of the crowds of rich sum
mer folks, eager to hear this can
tatrice of world-wide fame! She
had come back to her old town, not
in vainglory, but to help it on the
road to beauty? to turn its ragged
common into an orderly park, for
the joyous comforting of age and
youth.
Reina, beautiful as an angel, and
happier than one, sang old and new
songs as she had rarely sung before.
But the music of her voice hardly
matched the music in her heart,
since Deering had said masterfully:
"I have found you again and will
never let you go."
Corn Used to Make Cars
Com is one of the principal farm
products consumed, in building mo
tor cars. Five and one-quarter bush
els of corn are consumed in turning
out a new car. It is used in manu
facturing the butyl alcohol and bu
tyl acetate, from which is made
the solvents for lacquers used in
painting motor cars. The automo
bile industry is one of the farm
er's biggest customers. Besides
corn it uses cotton, wool, and leath
er in tremendous quantities. Lin
seed oil and other materials made
from farm products are also used
extensively.
Moral Courage
Moral courage is more worth
having than physical, not only be
cause it is a higher virtue, but
because the demand for it is more
constant.? Charles Buxton.
