But nothing of those thoughts
showed In Ginger's piquant face when
she greeted the members of the house
hold at breakfast on Monday morning
After all, she could not well announce
to Hiram Buck worth a rejmenated
lllrnm Buekworth It was, too, all
genial affability,, radiating pervasive
good cheer that If he had irranged
for Marjory to enter the ministry,
th?y, the Tolllvers, had no Idea of
spending money to make a school
teacher out of her. So she bided her
time, taring a great Inner satisfaction
In Marjory's quickened radiance, her
breathless brilliancy, her vivid Joy,
and admitting to herself that however
disgusting this business of man mad
ness might he. It certainly wrought
wonders in Marjory's physical ap
pearance. To Eddy Jackson she relieved her
self of the burden of philosophy which
had evolved from her painful expe
rience. "You know, Eddy, we really haven't
any right to run other peoples busl
oesa not even when we can do It a
whole lot better than they can."
"NoP he ejaculated Incredulously
"Absolutely. Even If they make a
mess of It why there you are I Let
them. One may be able to foresee the
the end, and to know far, far better
than they where her conduct will
lend"
"Tou'd better switch to the first
person," he Interrupted kindly. "You're
getting In pretty deep.-
"Well. anyhow, 1 can't run other
people's lives not Marjory's, nor any
body else In the world. It's too much
like trying to play Heaven, I suppose."
But st.e sighed a tittle.
But while she schooled herself to ac
cept, even with a pleasant satisfac
tion, the digression of her sister, there
was one phase of the family affairs
that she would never accept the fact
of ber father's blindness.
"He cant be blind forever,' she a
sured ber own heart stoutly. "He
simply cannot. Ue Is too good, and
too young, and oo very, very dear.
Ue shall go to all the doctors In the
world, one sfter the other, until he
finds the one that can perform mir
acles. Everybody says they do per
form miracles now, the doctors and
the surgeons. And they've got to do
one for father. Just as soon as he
gets stronger, and a tittle less worn
out, and there Is a llltle more money
In the trunk, then he shall begin."
When she came to discuss her new
scheme of family economy with her
father she encountered an unexpected
obstacle.
"You must see yourself, father. It Is
Just nonsense to spend money to make
her a teacher, when she Is going to
marry a church."
"Ellen, you must t mistaken she
Is too young"
"I'm not mistaken, father. 1 know
ihls man-business as far as 1 can see
It. I'm not so dumb. Besides she
Just as good as told me. Ob, 1 don't
think they'll be In any hurry about It
but It's on It's way."
Mr. Tolllver was silent for a mo
ment. "I never thought of that," he
said slowly. "She is so young. And
so beautiful. He Is a fine chap. Then
that Is why she told -ne If It could be
arranged any way she would rather
go to regular college than to normal
school."
"College I College? Marjory! And
with us retired on pension V
"She said she would work her way."
"Work I Marjory? Father, why, she's
she's crazy."
"No. In love."
"College I And work her wayl Why.
father, the only thing In the world
she hates more than study is work."
"Oh, that was before she was in
love."
"Well, 1 hope you put your foot
down hard"
"Oh, I did. I told her I would make
the arrangements."
'Oh, father, you would I It's sc like
you. Retired on pension and college
and operations
"Oh, there's no hurry ubojt the op
eration. But college can't wait espe
cially, If she Is In love."
"But, father, darling, don't you see?
What's the use to spend all that
money on her when she Is Just going
to get married, and keep house, and
go to ladles' aldr
So her father sat down with her,
very quietly, and talked It all over.
Ue said that Marjory was right. She
must go to college. She would need
the experience, the knowledge of
books, of people, and of things. Espe
cially, In these troubled times, would
she need complete equipment so that
In case she were thrown upon her
own resource she could earn her own
living, with dignity, with ease, even
with pleasure.
"Oh, yo'i needn't worry about that,'
argued Ginger. "Methodist ministers
may not always be crazy about their
wives, but they don't divorce them
They wouldn't dare."
Ue smiled at r. "1 wasn't think
tag of divorce," he said. "But sup

Dinger clasped his arm. Quick tears
burned In her eyes.
"Darling," sue whispered.
"But It U not altogether for the
sake of the unpleosunt and the unfore

Is so young. And lllniin Is s brilliant

"Oh. we cant separate them. The)

at his cheerful acceptance of this

"Oh. well, It says lr the Bible, R

"1 suppose so."
In her heart, for Miriam's sake
Ginger felt It was a very good thing
it would give her a much wider range
from which to select a substitute for
the can grocer. Besides, Miriam, ex

world offered wide avenues lo brilliant
women, but she knew not whither

The whistle of the postman brought
Miss Jenkins to the veranda.
"Why, Ginger," she ejaculated, "who
In the world are you w rltlng to? There
are sixteen letters for you Sixteen"
Ginger's greedy fingers look them
away from her. "Ob." she said non

Besides, you know yourself, father. I

She read the letters, slowly, one

"But after all, It Is a very good
thing to help the hiind. Even one

money we can start a big one later

CHAPTER X
All Ginger s hottest arguments could
not shake her futher's determination.
The small matter of his wn vision
must wait upon the education of the
twins. The money thpy bad saved
during the Summer thanks to bis

And God gave him s divine Inspira

lion's den was raised and a great

evinced no real enthusiasm for college
-Miriam, the student, the vwln of
Judgment It seemed to ber a wiisti

she was not yet sort- what specific
line she wished to follow as a profes
sion However, she yielded to their
arguments, with the saving clause thai
she "might not go four years a
couple, anyhow one can learn a lot
In i wo years."
In this emergency, Mr. Tolllver de
parted from the established rule ot
the tiouso. and arranged for a chnrge
account at Joplln WVstbury's dry
goods store. He cautioned the girls,
In conference with Miss Jenkins, to
use It as sparingly as possible, but
what t her young girls had for col
lege, the twins, loo, must hive.
Ginger ami Marjory held their owa
counsel. They used the charge ac
count only enough to allay the sua
plclons of Miss Jenkins and Helen,
who was bock In lied Thmsh after her
honeymoon, and living, strangely. In
o small cottage some Mocks removed
from the parsonng. But mostly they
drew upon the contributions to ths

fondly hoped would bring the blessing

bad decreed flatly that the twins csms

Already they were registered at

at llershey ball, giving service In re

of the library. And already It was
September, the public schools were
opening, and the dedication of the new
church was but one wiek away.
Mr. Tolllver and Miriam were back
In the pnrsotuige now, a sunburned,

and with appetites that boded III fot

On Tuesday of that week. Eddy

with laughter In his voice. " have a

Ginger sniffed audibly Into the tele

said unpleasantly.
"A false suspicion. lie hulls from

"So did the can grocer. It seems It

"Is he a cripple?" Inquired Ginger

"Oh. Eddy said Ginger nnxloualy,
"I wish we could get rid of Miriam.

Just at the wrong minute, and get his

Nature's Long Process
in Slate Production
Klntn, so geologists tell us, was
originally sediment deposited on the
oceun bed or luke floor by tidal cur
rent and mountain stream. After
years of gradual accumulation this de
posit was subjected to tremendous
lient and pressure by some convolution
of the earth's surface A metamorpho
sis took place. Clay turned to silica
and loose silt was compressed Into
line-grained rock, so tlne-gralned, In
deed, that even when completely im
mersed In water for 4S hours It ab
sorbs less than ono half of 1 per cent
of Its weight
Here, then, Is the raw material for
an Ideal rooting. Being cloue-gralned
nutural rock it Is fireproof, water
proof and so nearly weatherproof that
tho phrase ''eternal rock" Is a com
mon synonym for everlasting. Yet
bad nature stopped her manufactur
ing processes nt this point we would
never have had any slate roofs, one
more characteristic was needed to
change that sedimentary rock Into
slate. Ho nature again applied tre
mendous pressure and produced cleavage.
