Xk t A BIOL PORTER, Miss Muy-
l\ /I belle Porter to you, drew tier
IV X Jude taffeta down over her
golden head and Inspected her
feminine loveliness In the dresser mir-
ror.
It would be an untruth to say that
her reflection was unattractive, but
there was room for Improvement.
Mabel wus seventeen yet she looked
upon herself as already a member of
woman’s vnst estate.
Why, the boys were nil crazy about
her and wasn’t the new district school
superintendent calling Ibis evening to
take her out? Mr. Edward Lovelace.
Edouard to Mabel I
She wus noting the effect of her
jade taffeta with some satisfaction
when her reverie was suddenly shat
tered by the squealing of brakes and
u piercing shout from the front street
”Hey, Mabel I"
It was (ieorgle Itlnke.
Mabel tried to concentrate on Ed
ouard, but (Ieorgle shouted again
The shout cracked In the middle,
tleorgle having reached the age when
shouting Is precarious.
lie had graduated from high school
the year before with Mabel and
seemed to think that she bad remained
on his plane.
He wus s tall youth with a long
neok In which an Adam’s apple con
tlnually oscillated.
A shock of red hair surmounted Idm.
lie worked lu n garage and was usual-
ly attired In overalls and covered with
grease.
•‘Hey, Mabel I”
Mabel put her head out the window
(leorgie was resplendent lu a yellow
tie and n blue suit.
“Hey, Mabel, let's go to the movies I”
He yelled because he wus racing the
engine of his car to keep It going.
It was a wreck of a car that dapped
Its fenders and made the air hideous
with Its din.
“Not tonight,” Mabel screamed,
f* wus futile.
(leorgie was waving his arms ex-
citedly.
He wanted her to hurry.
He pointed his Index lingers ami
wiggled his thumbs, meanwhile bounc-
ing on the seat.
He meant there was s Western pic
tun- allowing at the Palace.
Mabel withdrew her head in disgust.
• • •
“(ieorgle Is so Juvenile," she sc Id to
her reflection.
It wus easy to understand from her
tone that she and Georgia had noth-
ing In common.
“Edouard," Mabel sighed, “Is so
different, so educated."
Mabel heard her father shouting and
(Ieorgle must have heard him, too, be-
cause he cut the motor to n stuttering
murmur and then stalled It.
Ills raucous shout split the quiet of
the evening air.
“Hey, Maliel, make It snappy I"
She put out her head and said
sharply, "I'm not going," and pulled
It In again.
“Not going? Hey, Mabel I"
He left Ids car to discover what was
the trouble. “What’s the matter with
you?" (ieorgle demanded through the
screen door.
“Nothing. I have an engagement
with Mr. Edouard l.ovelace this eve-
ning.”
"Oh!" (leorgie gulped, then his red
hair seemed to rise in spite of Its
pomade.
‘i.lsten, you don’t mean thnt new
dial riot superintendent, do you? Not
that sissy? Why, he’s old enough to
be your father! Hey, Mabel, are you
crazy?"
•’lie’s not,” Mabel defended.
“Edouard Is Just out of college.
And hero he Is, now," she added tri-
umphantly ns a blue roadster rolled
up before the porch. An elegant per
son In flannels and a green blazer
wuved h limp hand.
“Hello, Mnybellei Shall 1 come In?"
"No need, Edouard," Mabel said.
•Til he right there. Oh. this Is fieor-
gle Blake. (leorgie, this Is Mr.
Edouard l.ovelace"
“How do you do. Georgia," enunci-
ated Edouard, pleasantly, like the
parson to the parish children.
“Itats!" (Ieorgle gnnpped at hint.
Ignoring the steps he vaulted ovor
the porch railing and landed right In
Mabel's father’s petunias.
Georgia did not hesitate bnt raced
to his car. He cranked It viciously
and went roaring nwuy. his yellow tie
flapping like a banner over Ills shoul
der.
• • »
Georgia did not try to see Mabel
for two days and then he called her
on the telephone. “Hey, Mabel!"
“Itats I" Mabel snapped hack at him
anil hung up.
The telephone rang every Hfleen
minutes for the rest of the day and
Mabel did not dare to answer It for
fear It might he Edouard. It wasn't.
It was always Georgle.
“Well, what Is It?" she demanded at
last.
“Hey, Mabel, tomorrow's Saturday.
What do you sny to a picnic?"
“Really," Mabel answered distantly,
patting her buck hair, “really, (leor
gle, I-"
Edouard was going to he In Boston
for the week end. Perhaps after all
It wouldn’t be a had Idea.
“Very well," bhe said. “Call for me
at nine o’clock."
• • •
Saturday waa a beautiful day.
Mabel found Qeorgie's car a trifle un-
comfortable after Edouard’s roadster,
but Georgle praised her cold meat
sandwiches and she mnnnged to have
a good time.
After lunch they were driving along
a country lano when (leorgie sudden-
ly pulled up the emergency and shut
off the Ignition.
“Listen,” he said determinedly to
Mabel, “somebody has to tell you this
and I guess It’s going to be me."
Mabel was thrilled, he looked so
dramatic.
“Mabel, Edward Lovelace Is mar-
ried. His family Is here."
Mabel paled for an instant, then she
flushed.
“It’s a lie!" she cried. "1 can al-
ways toll when you lie. Georgle
Blake!" (leorgie was In a panic. Mu
bel always could tell.
"Well," he said grimly, getting out
to crank the car, "let’s prove It."
They drove farther on and stopped
before a small cottage, Georgle
climbed out. “There doesn’t seem to
he anyone home. Let's look around.”
• • •
Mabel stepped defiantly to the
ground and followed Georgle around
to the hack
The yard wus neat and there was a
small garage
Two small hoys paraded out of the
gnrage upon their appearance.
“Hello," Mabel said nervously,“what 1
are your names?"
"My name Is William Lovqluce," re-
cited the older, keeping Ids eyes on
(leorgie. The smaller piped lip III Ids !
turn, “And I’m Tommy, ma'ani."
‘‘Who.’’ Mabel faltered, “wlm Is your
fa.her?"
“My father Is superintendent of !
schools.' the older recited glibly.
Mabel was visibly affected and was j
glad that Georgia did mil want to 11 n !
ger. Itoniance wet shattered.
“I think we’il better go." she said
in what she hoped was a broken voice,
ns she clung to lleorgle’s arm.
(leorgie led Imr hack to the car. coin
furling anti strong with his attentions, j
“I never liked him anyway," Mabel j
confessed.
She was biting her handkerchief like ]
they do In the talkies.
"Well, never mind, dear," Georgia
gulped.
He helped her Into the car and then |
went around to crank It.
“Why don't you drive?” he offered
generously above the din.
Mabel shifted gratefully to the driv-
er’s scat, secretly elated at this rare
privilege.
Somebody pulled Georgia's coat tails.
He turned to find a little tow-headed
urchin smiling up at him.
“Sny, mister," the little chap yelled,
“If you'll give me two hits like you
did them kldH, I'll he Jolinuy Is>ve-
luce for you 1”
What Mabel screamed at Georgle
was lost In the roar of the car as It
went careening down the road.
All the surprised little boy could see
was a dim llgure running after It In
the cloud of thick Oust yelling:
“Hey. Mabel!”
Honeybees Never Yet
Domesticated by Man
The honeybee is often spoken of ns
domesticated, hut this Is far from true.
Although men and bees have been
closely associated since the dawn of
history, the honeybee is apparently us j
wild today as It was centuries ngif.
Other wild animals have yielded to
man’s influence and many of them are
now as dependent upon man ns man is
upon them; hut the bees in apiaries
are as wild ns are their cousins In
dense forests.
Bees taken from a bee tree and
placed in u modern hive are as much
at home there as though they were de-
scended from generations of hive-
raised bees. On the other hand, a \
swarm that has left a modern apiary j
and settled In a hollow tree fares as
well in Its new environment as did
any of its ancestors In cave or forest.
Bees are no more domesticated than
are the hats that are numerous In the
burn or attic.
Bee specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture explain this
unchanging trait in bees by stating
thnt the queen and the drone that
mates with her—the only bees having
the power of reproduction—have no
contact with the outside world and
therefore have no new experiences to
puss along to their offspring. The
worker hoes, who are constantly sub-
ject to new conditions, have no off
spring and no opportunity to pass on
to future generations the benefits of
their experiences.
“Little Mind. With Big Voice.”
It Is probable that If science could
devise an apparatus capable of weigh-
ing and measuring the responsibility
for all the things that go wrong In the j
world. It would he found ihat most of j
mankind's errors In running Its affairs
arise from oratory Through the ages,
glib tongues have wagged, and the I
world has wagged with tluftn. Little j
minds with big voices have an entirely
disproportionate Influence upon hiimnn
affairs. Silver tongues carry weak
men Into power, put had laws on our
statute books und trick people Into
permitting enactment of worse uses
when they fail. A nation of mules
probably would become the most wise-
ly governed people of all time.—North-
western Miller.
Charity Dog to Retire
Victor, the silky-haired retriever who
trotted the platforms of Easton (Eng-
land) station for six years collecting
funds for Injured railway employees,
Is to retire on account of age. In that
time he has collected S1H.000. He
wore no collar or chnin, but carried a
box Into which coins were dropped,
and he became so expert that he did
uot enter empty cars or compartments.

Hosen’s message was primarily t»
Israel. T e nation won outwardly
prosperous, for Its height of temporal
glory was reached In the time of Jero-
boam II (II Kings 14-18). With this
prosperity came tuxury, Immorality,
and apostasy. Calf worship and Baal
worship were substituted for worship
of the true God. With the Increase
of wealth In our age has come luxury,
corruption, and gross wickedness.
Hosea's message Is therefore a vital
one for us now.
I. Israel's Apostasy (Hosea 1-3).
Her covenant relationship with Je-
hovah wan presented under the figure
of a marriage. Their splrltunl whore-
dom Is symbolized by the example of
an unfaithful wife.
1. The marriage (1:1-2). Honda waa
commanded by God to take an on
chaste woman to he Ills wife. It wus
dnrdgned to show God s wonderful con-
descension nnd love In entering Into
covenant relationship with a nation of
«mh immorality. The nation had no
more to commend tt at the time of
God’s choice than this uneliuste wom-
an when Hosea contracted marrkige
with her.
2. The unfaithful wife (oh. 2). Not
withstanding the wonderful conde-
scension on the part of the prophet
In contracting marriage with this
woman. Comer departs from him to
ei,.~art with her former base lovers.
This shows Israel's base Ingratitude
In their departure from God nnd going
after Idols. Sore chastisement fell op
on her for her unfaithfulness.
3. The command to love Corner, the
unfaithful wife (eh. 3). This Ulus
(rates God'S love for Israel.
II. God’s Love for tars'1 (11:1-4,
8. !»).
1. Its beginning (v. 1) it
when Israel as a nation was i
childhood.
2. (low it expressed Itself (vv. 1-1
a. In railing It out of Egypt (v. Ii
God called Israel out of tile bondage
of Egypt and brought them Into
Canaan, the land of freedom, flowing
with milk and honey. Such love and
favor placed Israel under pecullnr
obligation to God.
b. He taught Ephraim to walk (v.
»). in spite of Israel’s backsliding
(v. 2). God Is represented as teaching
Israel how to walk even as a father
takes his child by the urms to sustain
It while endeavoring to walk. God
even watched over Israel as parents

man” (v. 4) observe that Ills draw

man lifting the yoke rrom the oxea

e. Ills unwillingness to give then
up (vv. H. 1)1. In spite of all Israel’s
sins God was unwilling to destroy
them.
III. God’s Urgent Call for Repent-
ance (ch. !4).
Notwithstanding their awful sins,
Ood urged Israel to turn unto him.
1. Appropriate words of confession
were put into tlsdr mouth (vv. 1-3).
n. “Take away all Iniquity" (v. 2)

b. "Receive u« graciously" (v. 2)
This request Is accompanied by the
promise to worship God on their re
turn.
c. "Asshur slmll not save us” (v. 3).

the strong nation of Assyria could not
