A high school education is an advantage in every way. The boy who docs not finish high school simply can not master the prob lems that come before him in his every day life. Then if a boy is to make a life a success andv worth .while it is his advtantage to have a high school education. He need 'have no fear to face the world, he can more easily, see the opportuni ties that come to him and with a high school education he can mako his road an easier one to travel. Fronj a bur'ness standpoint a ViU . fecliool education is quite no- ,fefesary and most essential. A boy m5 inow arithmetic and be able to figirrp nccurately even if he has not completed high school, but he is lacking in other qualities that high sebool gives aiuf without these qual ities he can not gain the confidence of tho P' p!e l; j deals with and he ctuj not he ;.'

She v;as sine that It. was but" a vision city for when purple mlts cov ered the idlls the city was not there a all. But when the sun shone and the ships were white as foam, the vision city became- a real place of gleaming turrets, , towers and tall bttlldtogs. white' and shining. At these times Linnette loved to pic ture to herself beautiful wonien who might live their lives of pleasure in such a world. The people who'eanie to buy were friends, most of . them had watched the French girl grow from babyhood In her . kind grandmother's care. The folk of I.a Mere village traveled sel dom and knew but one place- of abode. As their great-grrtnrtparents Jived be-. fore them, they lived today. And out across the blue the towers of the Vision city beckoned to Lhmette. Sometimes Gene cntne. Oene was an amusing lad, who persisted In court- Ins her. ' Repeatedly she 4told uene tn. ncr dreum. How one day people snouia i come to the little shop and find It deserted. For In sdme tincxpected manner, she, Linnette, would answer the beckoning towers and go to live beneath them. i 'And never, never, will . I come back," she would tell Gene. Linnette carried tiny dolla dowo to the shore and mado for them there dainty dresses from scrsps of silk or calico. It was not for pleasure alone that, she carefully studied the fashion catalogs. And as she sewed one after noon a touring car turned in from the road and young man alighted. "Could yon tell me," he asked. "where my mother and myself might be able to procure luncheon. We navo traveled a long way and are tired ana hungry? . ' "You may not find a penston for miles. But I," added Llnuette eager ly, "will be glad to serve you In my shop." Strnngers to Linnette, strangers from some foreign city of beautiful homes, were ever an adventure. The mnn's mother addressed Linnette as Dear, child." It was nil very delightful. Happily toward her little shop the girl led the way. "How unique," exelalraed Mrs. James Russell Gordon, as she walked about, admiring Lhmette's tiny dolls of fashion. "Why, Russell, this French girl Is a genius, a . deslgner-to-be. Could Lucille create a frock more originally charmlngr The big son laughed. i - "Now mother," he remonstrated, "don't allow jour usual sympathy and Impulsiveness to prompt yon to adopt this French girl and take ner noma.. Remember past experience, please." What that experience might have been Russell Gordon did not say, but surprisingly hU mother answered. "You have hit upon my very thought, as usual, dear. ; Of what use Is our money if not to spread happiness and lead others to successful living? Tho past mistakes must not discourage tho present. I like this wistful little crea ture. 1 am half disposed to give her her chance." And after an afternoon In Mnnette's company, while the son spent bis time with the car, Mrs. Gordon became wholly disposed, and told Russell so upon his return. Knowing well his mother, the young man made no de mur to her plan, hut auhrtly and re signedly set about tbe arrangements for Llnnette's departure.. .The girl agreed to the woman's suggestion, "And you think," she asked breath lessly, "that over there where build ings stand tall and lovely women come to buy that I shall learn to design dresses and to sew pearls npon satin for them to wear? "We shall see," replied Russell Gor don's mother, smilingly. The gray-haired woman stooped to kiss the girl's glowing face. "In new deference the young man assisted her Into the car. "Good-by," called Gene. Linnette regarded her old home cheerfully. "It Is not." she explained to herj benefactress, "as though I had not all ; my life longed to go to a vision city. Ellse will keep the shop and BHse will never know What It means to send a heartache with every white ship that wills." - . ' Months passed and the girl, happy In her new environment, learned noth ing of a dressmaker's art Constantly she was at the elder woman's side. contentedly they walked and talked and studied together. And the son, so far, had refrained from remlndMg his mother" of her purpose. "Linnette," he began one day, "It was your purpose, mother, to educate her for a business profession" "Russell," his , mother Interrupted, "I cannot part with her. She Is so exactly the daughter I have long desired.- I must heap her so. Russell."- Then Russell Gordon laushcd hap ntly. '. - "0ur.own," no corrected," tor tail day, 'mother, I have asked Linnette to marry me." - And the girl, with wistful eye n longer, looked up later to where th tower of a city gleamed la the moon light --4 "It la sUU toy vtetea city," she te34 her lew, .

Lut when be came to visit Aunt Mar garet Wells In Bayardstown, It was not long before the majority of women residents at : least had ' dubbed her "irlvolous." " ! ' : -, "Does . nothing all day," .they suid, "except dress up to look pretty and Jolt around." ' ; laisy loved pretty clothes. There wi also a dainty lavender frock pa :ated muslin, it- was called with vt:'et flowers, scattered quaintly over Its lavender surface. Mother had made thin frock Just before the serious time of her last Illness--but Daisy could noi yet think calmly of those sorrow ful dflys days of loving self-sacrtfico upon her part for which Aunt Mar garet was now trying to atone or to effi-ee. , , "Darling,",, she said the oni'dpnted picnic to Jlort whh for my sake you'd w-ur tho lov- entr muslin ; It Is so becoming and I want you to make a, good Impression r.pi'H my frlomhThere's Tilly Saun ders, Tor Insudice, a friend of my own k .-, gjrlbood her doctor son Is one of tho flne.-t If not Indeed- the finest of Bay- ard's young men." - Daisy lav.ghed. But good naturedly Daisy wore tho lavender painted frock. Aunt urged the dark, warm cape upon her at de parture. ' - "It may rain," she said, "and any , way ft Is cool down at Morton's falls. You will need a wrap." And as it often huppens In this misjudging world, Mrs. Saunders, glancing from an upper window at the very moment of. Daisy's happy departure . for. thsv Falls, viewed the lavender frock, and the allk-llned cape contemptuously, tier son near by was- preparing bis medicine case for the calls of the aft- ernoon. "I declare," remarked Tlllle Saun ders, "that girl from the city Is dressed to go to a picnic, as though she were going on the stage." "By the way," he remarked, "your friend Margaret Wells has Invited mo to meet her niece at a social. But If ' the niece . answers jour description, mother, please write for me the usual polite refusal I am beastly busy and you can make no mistake In saying so." Thereupon the young doctor went on bis wuy. And Daisy, swinging her satin llued cape, went blithely upon her way. Peggy-Jane would not be pleased with this nor pleased with that. And Peggy-Jane insisted upon going out on the futte in shell-like boats with ven turesome youtbSj or swimming danger ously far Irorii shore. '- - - j! "She js go reckless," Peggy-Jane's mother coniiueu to uaisy. The aftetnoon was ot a success; just near the snpper hour came out of tho sudden drenching showers. Daisy was out in It so was Peggy Jane they were far from shelter. A moment tho despised visitor ot Bay ardstown stood looking down at her rebellious charge. Peggy-Jane was giggling. "It Is cold here near tho Falls, Isn't It, Miss Eldrldge? Queer, how cold it can be in summer time. Just because a little rain comes up." Daisy cast one hasty glance at tho cherished painted muslin. Mother's fingers had fashioned It the violet would run disastrously Into the lav ender ground. And Peggy-Jane was not the oDly one who bsd been warned against cold or dampness that sum mer. The trip Into the country bad been suggested as a fortifying remedy also for Margaret after her long days of nursing. "There I" she said, as she folded tho Warm cape about Peggy-Jane's recep tive figure, "that will keep you both warm and dry. Now let's ran for It. ; Peggy-Jane's mother was tearfully grateful. "You have saved her from nn Illness, I am sure," she said. . But Daisy bad not saved herself from Illness. It began that night after Aunt Maraaret lovingly tucked her In bed- tl.v hated to tell about the uiieer throbbing pain In her back the funny little creepy chills. inn Auni Margaret found out and later Daisy found herself telling a -kind young physician. , "Yon see." she explained, "our old doctor at home told me I must be care ful to avoid, dampness, and all tvat had barely gotten over , the flu, when mother was taken sick, ana then- T see." the understanding young physician said. "The Falls Is a damp hole," he remarked later, "and yon were soaked tn that cold rain; bat wo are going to prevent any serious trouble. You will hsvo to take my word for It" Doctor Stephen smiled. Daisy took his word for It. , She felt that she would take his word for any thing. Certain It was the young doc tor did not neglect bis patient.
