taken out and those awfully oldfashioned green blinds I have been so about them for nearly the last five years Let me see Carrie other changes do you propose I shall have a back stairs put in where the conservatory is But what will mother say to that Oh Harry dont he absurd as if she would not like it better tohave back stairs Besides I really think the care of all those plants is too much for her in the winter so want to have the conservatory taken out while the plants are still out That will not seem so great a change to her as it would to remove the plants if they were once returned to their accustomed shelves Oh I see said Harry Very con siderate of you I am sure and his wife thought she detected a shade of sarcasm in Iris voice And what else are you planning to have done continued- her husband I mean to have north room fitted up for mother You know hew long I have wanted the back parlor for a library It Will so cozy too with its open fireplace Perhaps mother thinks its too and so may object to being rout ed out Now Harry you know very well that she will give it up gladly if she thinks you want it the wife in her most wheedling tone Besides what difference- can it make- to an old person like her what room she has- She receives all her vis in the parlor and sits with the family the greater part of the time Im sure shell not be so selfish as to want the very best room in the house just to sleep in Well suppose you know best said the easygoing husband as he took up his paper and the wife knew that was safe from any interfer ence on his part Across the wide hall in the and silence the coveted parlor the mother- sat unsuspected to this wholesale readjustment of her old home Her call the street had been a short and she had slipped in at the open front door unobserved and unheard Although had passed her sixtyfifth she did not consider an it tirphwi right I dont you but you had ought to be pretty careful about pleasing yourself If you dont have a cream

well and of an bright tones Harry docs and cheerful deposition She would mean good night again with her usual ten derness The following morning when Harry entered the diningroom he asked at once Where is mother Carrie She hasnt appeared yet I sup pose she had overslept Nonsense he answered indignant ly know she never oversleeps She be ill How could you Wait all this time without finding- out Fie left the room with an impatient stride but in a moment he returned with an anxious look on bis face She isnt there he said Oh well thats not re plied his wife she is no doubt out doors somewhere puttering about her flowers Shell come in when she gets ready Harry however was not satisfied with this but sent the eldest hoy out doors to hunt up his grandmother Queer thing for mother to forget mealtime said Harry Shes al ways so prompt gathered around toe table but had barely seated themselves when there was a resounding ring at the front door bell This of itself was an unusual event but at so early an hour at seemed the forerunner of trouble of some kind bad on ly time however for a mere Inter change of frightened glances when Jane ushered into the dining room the family lawyer Mr Excuse me for breaking In upon you he said but I am in a great haste want to return to the vil lage in time for the morning train No thanks dont place a chair for me at the table Ive been to break fast We had our morning meal about two hours ahead of time A sudden thought came to Harrys wife There is some law in that deed Oh I hope we can get it fixed up and hustle him out of the way before mother corres In There is no tell ing what she might do Aloud she said in her suavest man ner j I suppose you arc taking that deed to county scat to record this morning vi Madam he said gravely I re gret to say that I no deed to i What she exclaimed in startled this yourself J I This to your house this morning and reach- ed there at five oclock- You have stated the case exact ly But what in the world did she come for asked Carrie rising an grily how did you dare let nor get hold of it Is that the way- you look after your clients interests Carrie said her husband you forget yourself I am aware the lawyer humbly that I was very remiss but really the old lady was very sharp She pretended that there was an error in the description of that creek that runs thru her back forty and she asked me merely to read it over to her In the first place she had complained that her feet were wet from tramping so far in the dew could do no less than build a- fire in the kitchen stove so when she was comfortably ensconced in Crock ing chair with her feet she made her business known and said it might make trouble if the deed went on record wrong I brought the deed out and read it over to her She no desire to get hold pi it and I did not for a moment sus pect her of any sinister designs FiI she said just as she had said before I dont feel quite satisfied- Then I assured her that the descrip tion was an exact copy of the old deed But that may have been wrong- she persisted So taking the deed with me I went to my office and brought out township map to the kitchen table spreading it out to convince her that the creek was pro perly located on the deed I said to myself if she is so anxious to have this all right for Harry as to walk over here before it is fairly daylight surely I can work for his interest too and see that it is really right Well I became so intent on following the course of that creek that I forgot to keep my hand on the deed and the first thing I knew she had jerked it from the table lifted the stove cover and it was in flames She did it so adroitly that I didnt realize what she had done until my wife cried out l 1 I took it in but when I lifted the stove cover the deed was only a black shapeless mass As the lawyer ceased Carrie drop- pod her head upon her hands and gave way to a torrent of tears Did mother give any explanation No she simply said that she had changed her mind In a few days the mother returned to her home Nothing was said about the destruction of the deed no questions were asked no explanation was volunteered and life again flow ed on in its wonted channels One morning about six months lat er Carrie feeling in an petulant mood made some unkind re mark about the ancient appearance of the house seemed to the moth er a decisive moment and she said kindly but firmly Carrie this is my house like It as it is but you do not need to stay here unless you quite prefer to do so Harrys cousin is ready to take the farm whenever you would like to return to your own more modem and elegant mansion This settled the question The land at the home farm was the best in the county and as the rent was merely a nominal sum the eyes were loo firmly fixed on the bargain element to allow her to relinquish her hold lightly The mother lived twenty years long er and when the will was read- it was found that everything was left Ings but following the bequests was hut following the was a paragraph explaining the cause of the destruction of the deed closing with these words i- When you find yourself growing old hold oh to whatever property you may have gained for human nature is weak and the temptation to send the old folks to north rooms Is more than people can overcome The Standard to Toronto Letter I i The School Subscribe

The movement to do away with the oneteacher country school Is gaining ground The great Canadian school system the much- vaunted the over praised is to be torn down and a new structure erected The old log schoolhouse and little red schoolhouse are lo bo forgotten together The new country schoolhouse is to be larger to contain three or four rooms and to serve hall or a whole town ship It is to be a graded school to that in a town or city It will have a furnace in the cellar pictures on the walls com fortable benches good teachers and a telephone Eventually it will be lighted with electricity

average salary of female teach- in the Province of Quebec was Sill a year while in four counties out of teachers only two In rural districts the as low as a year Montreal as as Domestic servants are as well paid in Mont- real while nurses are more highly rewarded Quebec is probably the worst served of all the Provinces owing to her system of religious schools but even there they are agi- for
