“to bear little Roseville's one big
m. It is a. war story (worse
1min). and if it were fiction would
be correctly named “The Right
Soldier."
One of the market gardeners. per-
_ hos the most prosperous among
than. everybody in Roseville had
known all his life, and it seemed as
if 'Dave Reid couldn't do anything to
utonish the villagers, not.even by
mrrying Miss Lory, who wanted
him. Dave had lived alonein the
(lid. house his father left him and
cultivated the acres which remained
tram the family farm until he was
21. when he brought an aunt “by
marriage and her baby girl to share
quarters with him.”

That was twenty years also. The
lge of Amanda. who had been the
girl baby, can readily be computed.
and Dave’s time or life was as well
known to the Rosevilliens as their
own. Considering the disparity be-
tween thcse aces. Miss Lory did not
hesitate to say that the attempt to
drive Dave into a marriage with
Amanda was immoral. -

Miss Lory herself could not be
suspected of an intention to become
a matron prematurely; she was of

-uncertain arc and certain avoirdil-
pols. and Fill" {Flt encouraged to hope
that D’lVO would see the propriety
of a match lwtwecn them, when
Amanda developed ambitions and

" gratified one of them by slitting a

position in the city as stenograpllor.
The departure of the girl from Rose-
ville seemed in Miss Lory a. favor-
able condition; she would lie r‘r-rtnin
to meet there some young: man who

would make the idea of becoming
Dave's Wife even more rcpumnnt
to her.

Thus reasoning. Miss Lory took

advantage of every opportunity to
(ring hur charms in lltivv's notice
and manr- others. She planned to
have the Farmers \Vin-s i‘irrlc of
the R-ul «“705? meet as nl‘ii-n :is pos-

Twenty minutes later Amanda's
mother walked into the parlor
where the women who had finally
solved. the puzzle of frog and draw-
string sat stitching up cotton‘

by her stern expression.

Miss Lory could not repress an
exultant cry. The other Women
crowded round. asking questions.

“I'll tell you all I've found out
myself." the mother continued. "it's
just what Mandy told me. She's
been keeping company with a soldier
for a month past, without; a. word
to me. an' a week ago the Guv'ment
shipped him from a. traithn' camp
to go abroad. It was so sudden he
didn‘t have a chance to my good-Ely

On a fair morning in the fall of
1917 ihv farmers' wives metvtlleru.
A difficult task had been set for
them. for a letter had mine which
yoked to have pajamas made for the
wounded soldiers in FrunCc. Male
Host-ville still slept in nightshirts.
and none of the women had ever
seen a suit of pijamns Miss Lory
had consulted with Divid's aunt
over rlzt'ficulty. anal the two
women had commissioned Dave to
hunt up Amanda in the city and find
out who: pajamas were liltc. If the
girl dun z‘nt know she could surely
direct David to a store where ihe
Itrangc things were to be purchased.

80 when David drove his heavy
truck into the yard the women
crowded to the door, eager to look
It a pattern or a garment. Miss
lax-y pushed herself to the front
and received a. package from his
bad.

“It's the pajammer itself,” said
Dave, "and it cost $1.50, but that
I'll donate. I guess, Miss Lory. you'll
hve to hire me to try 'em on, as
they’re men's fixin's.”

Miss Lory blushed. or tried to,
. m the other women laughed.

' “How"d you leave Mandy? Chip-

“What's Mandy's name?" asked
Miss Lory. _

For 8. fraction of an instant the
woman hesitated. Then she replied:

“His name's “Tatkins, he's Corp-
oral George Watkins."

“What's his regiment?"

She breathed hard and
firmly: "That's a. secret betwixt
Mandy an' him. I migh'. as well
tell you. first as last. the (luv-men:

A harder task it was to inform
David. but Amanda’s mother never
put on“ :1 difficulty because it hap-
pened to lac disagreeable. When the

called David into the house and im-
parted the news. He looked down
at the ingrain carpet of the parlor
and did not speak 81 once. Then he
said: '

"I always wantedMandy should
make her own choice, and I hope
she'll be happy in it. What did you
say was his name?”

His aunt gave a violent start.

"Well. what is his name?"

"His name’s Perkins, that’s What

She stooped over the center table.

and wrote on a bit of paper: "U. B. h

of her blue gingham gown. "I pretty

F Darwin's theory has been dis-
provcd by his numerous opp}-
ncnts, as so many people think.

it must inferred that the
whole theory of evolution has been
refuted; for there are many varia-

l‘. 01 in)

lions of the theory an; many speci- ..

lnvns are being brought forward as “
evidence in support of Darwin. ~
There are few people who have not
at sometime watched with amuse.
lncnt the antics of an ape or chim-
panzce in its cage and laughed at.
the caricature of himself which the
animal presents. But. as Dr. Greg-
ory of the Museum of Natural His-~
tory says. “Scientists do not deal in
pure flights of imagination or work '
on the apparent similarity of the we
to man, but base their theories on
facts." '

A Water Worn Tooth.

The question has been brought
somewhat nearer home by the re-
cent discovery of a small water worn
tooth by Mr. Harold J. Cook a! A
Nebraska. Upon classification this
tooth is believed to signalize the mi-
gration from Asia to North America _
of an ancient type of ape. It. has
also quickened public interest in the
study of the "Evolution of Bum
Dentition.’ the gathered spectrum
of which seem to. point the road
through the ages and show step by.
step the gradual changes and modifi-
cations that have occurred owe:- a.
lapse of million of years in' the for-
mtionot the Jews name teeth of

From the day her daughter ap-
peared in somber gar!) the morhcr’s
attitudr aim-red toward her: she be-
nan to fondle the baby and encour-
aged David, who was wonderfully
inlpl'vssa-d by the little fellow, in all
the absurd plans that the simpr
market gardener devised for his en—
tertainment and education.

"Dave acts to him like as if he
was his own father." she told he:

 

Ape’s Teeth Like

stories as them» and the~frequent
arguments and 'horesies “that ‘are
heard do xmthing-i:u: cover up and
confuse the excellent logical work
that is b- Eng done. As Dr. Gregoty
said. “The trouble is that the public.
thinking that Darwin said ‘Man
came from monkeys.‘ either believe
or deny it and dismiss it at that."

Back to .Ltnn' hour.

In 1759 Linnaeus took all the ani-
mals and by a. process of classifica-
tion he formed them into a group
which he called. Primates. But Dar-
win improved on this by placing man
in one group which. be called Old
World Primates and which included
.the onthropold apes. Emphasiswas.
however. laid on the fact that neither
ape. ehimpanaee nor man is the

The changes in the Jaw from a

the teeth.'whieh is greater in some
of the primitive people, there is' but
little variation. The gradual reduc-
tions and losses of certain parts of
the upper and lower molar teeth can
be clearly traced by the particles of
skulls an} teeth that have been gath-
ered. There is an inner cuspon the
second and third upper molars which
is very largee in the oldest known
man. and. though it is seen in many
savages. it dwindles away in the
higher type and changes from a four
siied to a three Sid-ed tooth:

Possible Causes of Change.
The anthropoid ape was practi-

" cauy a tree dweller and lived almost

entirely on fruit. He needed his

.strong incisors for the tearing of

rough barks from the fruits. He
needed hislarge incisors for fighting.
Also the habit of walking .on all
fours with the sloping neck of tie
animal afforded room for the mas-
sive jaw. Whereas in man's upright
position there is no room for such a
large jaw beneath the erectly placed
head. Also the increase in the size
of the brain .and the lconsequent
crowding of the jaws in man’s un-
born ”yams possibly retarded the
growth force in the teeth.

How she accomplished her fixed

"I ain't going to hurry you."
pronusc' id her mother, “neither is
Dave, if he has loved and cherished

Amanda shuddered.
