Why Are you "Christine! Chrietinel don't you answer? . . . »Hve? . . ." Hideous tboughio flushed through Raoui's conK«3t«d brain. Of coursa, ' Erik inut:t have discovered their sec- ret, must have known that Christine had played him false. What a ven- ' geance would be his! j .Such wei-.> the thjujfhtB that haunt- 1 ed Ruoul as he ran to the singer's dressing-room. "Christine! Christine!" A tall figure blocked Raoul's way. "Whare are >'ou Ki'-ng »o fast, M. de Chagny?" asked a voice. Raoul impatiently raised his eyes and recognizL'd the astrakhan cap of an hour ago. He stopped: "It's you!" he cried, in a feverish voice. "You, who know Erik's secrets and don't want ms to speak of them. Who an you?" "You know who 1 am! . . I am the Persian!" Raouj now remembered that his "Who is Darius?" "Darius? My servant." They wtre now in th« centre of a real desmted square, an immense apartment IW-Clt by a smsU lamp. The Persian stopped Rsoul and, in th« softest of whispers, asked: "What did you say to the conunis- sary?" "I said that Christine Daae's ab- ductor was the Angel of Music, &Iia.s the Opera ghost, and that the real name was . . ." "Hush! . . . And did he believe you?" "No." "Bo yaa kntw th«t Chriitln« Dum WMt oat by th»t mirror?" "Sh* did so before my vym, tir !

"Or kome new fancy of the f host's!" chucklMl the Persian. "Ah. M. de Chagny," he rontiniMd, still with his hand on the mirror, "would that we had t« do witii a ghost! We could ttwn leave our pistols in their case. . . Put down y<our hat, please . . . there . . . and now cover your shirt-froAt as much as you can with your coat . . as I am doing. . .

Bearing against the mirror, after a short silence, he said: "It takes some time to release the counterbalance, when you press on the spring from the inside of the room. It is different when you are behind the walv and can act directly on the counterbalance. Then the mirror turns at once and is moved with in- credible rapidity." "It's not turning! . . . And Chris- tine, sir. Christine?" The Persian said coldly: "We shall do all that it is human^ possible to do! . . But he may stop us at the first step! ... He commands the waKa, the doors and the trap- doors. In my country he was known by a namj which means the 'trap-door lover.' " "But why do these walls obey him alone? He did not build them!" "Yes, sir, that is just what he didl" Raoul looked at him in amaiement; but the Persian made a sign to him to be silent and pointed to the glass. . . . There wras a sort of shiwrlng reflec- tion.

"So much the better!" sighed the Persian. And they continued their road. mournful voice. "And now. look out! And be ready to fire." He himself raised his pi.stol oppo- site the glass. Raoul imitated his movement.

With flared circular skirt attached to slender bodice, this design cannot fail to please. It has the sophisti- cated .simplicity that Paris sponsors this season for the dansant and semi- evening occasion, and would be equally as lovely in satin as in velvet A aaah which defines the hips and ties in front, is a new and distinctive fea- ture. The diagram pictures the simple design of pattern No. 1254, which is in sizes 16, 18 and 20 ye.'rs (or 84, 36 and 38 inches bust only). Size 18 years (36 bust) requires 4% yards of 86-ineh, or 2% yards of 64-inch ma- terial. The sash requires 2% yards ribbon 5 inches wide. Price 20 cents. The secret of distinctive dress lies in good taste rather than a lavish ex- penditure of money. Every woman should want to noake her own clothes, and the home dressmaker will find the designs illustrated in our new Fashion Book to be practical and simple, yet. maintaining the spirit of the mode of the moment.

OniLLIGENT PARENTHOOD Am I ue^ng all the tntoUlgence with which I am endowed, In brtnelng up my cblklren- le a question all parent* may well ask tbemeelvci»; and moat of us wouJd hare to answer in the negative. Often our eoUre policy is dictated by a prejudice instead of by a weH-thought-ont ptam. Take, for In- stance, a mother who as a child was very much spoiled. Having reaped the fruit of this upbrlnginc, she decides on no condition to rear her children in the same manner. So, unconsclons- ly. she goes to the other extreme, mak- ing her younesiers "toe the mark" fB a most inconsiderate and arbitrary manner. Whereas, In her youtti, »b« was allowed to stay up half the night in order to finish an absorbing book, her children are not even permitted to finish the sentence they are reading when the call comes- for dinner or bed- time. Surely such disolpUne is not based upon resson! When correcting a childish fault do parents always focus their entire In- telligence upon the problem? How many punishments would be avoided. If they did! When iitUe Mary, In heli>- tng to dry the dls-heS', breaks a cup, is it not unwise to scold her severely ? Won't she acquire a distaste for "heljy- Ing?" When Dlok telle a "lie," is it sensible to punish him without first trying to~ understand the boy's way of re«<>oniug and making every effort to correct Itt When George, In a fit of anger, throws his toys aroundi, is It IntelU- gent to "throw George around?" Would It not be wiser to let him find out for himself that the only resuU of his 111 temper Is- broken to)'8, which his parents are In no hurry to replace? If little Alice goes traveling and, becoming restless, fingers window latches and shades and baggage, in- Etead of scolding and punishing, wouldn't it be more sensible to pro- vide a picture book or crayons and paper or something to occupy the lit- tle maid's attention? ' Solving Each Problem. When pai-ents change a has'ty "No" to "yes" because they can't raslat the crying or tlie teasing or the arguing of their little onee. are they acting intel- ligently? Aren't they teaching their youngsters jusit how to break down the parental citadel? A "No" should never be hasty, but should always be dictated by our best judgment, and Wiien once uttered It should stand. How much simpler life Is tor young- sters reared under such conilitlons. When a parent grabs a button hook or a dost oloth or a paU and ataovel from little flnge«». aaylng ImpaUently. '"Do it like thte," doing the Job him- self, !• he acting sensibly? Wouldn't' the Httle one learn more quickly by experience than by just "watching," and aren't- we also depriving him of the joy of achieving, which is his right? Are w* ever acting wlsriy when we "wait on" children, Instead of aUowlng them to do things for them- selves. In so far as they are able? Again and again we hear parents, in th^r youngsters' presence, aay,f "Dickey la obstinate, or eensitive, orj mischievous." Aren't the parents bnrj printing these thoughts on the little ones' mlndS'; and won't the <Alklren bo very likely to lire up to their re-' putatlons? Are we acting InteRlgently when wo "label" our djlMrea? Study the Child's Gifts. Sometimes a mother insists upon her daughter studying musitc, l>ecause she heswelf lias always regretted that; elie was depriredi of this privilege. But' If Anna cannot become Interested in muslo, while on the other hand, she shows a marked ahllky to draw, would' It not be more reasonable to allow her' to devote her ttnue to art? In Hke manner, many a parent decides that his child shall ge to college, because he has always wished that he had had this advanitage In his youth. But If the boy has no interest la scholastic pursuits and wants very much to enter the business field, will he get anything out of a college education, being pre- sent in body but not in thought. We ought all of us to mark our own score cards, at the end of every day, judging oiu«elve» as to whether we have dealt with our parental probleoos' Intelligently. During this hour of meditation, we can run back over the' events of the day. Perhaps It was too much to expect a two-year-old to sit quietly through a long meal p«-lod, while the adults were usurping every minute In what was to them, interest- ing conversation. Maybe the next time we have company, It would be': wiser to give the little girl an oarlier, luncheon. While in this Intrcspectlve' mood, we can aleo ponder as to what measures to ne'e to correct John'.^ un- tidiness and Mary's habit of ptxicras- tlnatlon. Child training is not a hit or miss proposition. It is a mast Important business, whkii demands ccnstant use of every ounce of intelligence we can call to our aid. â€" I. M.

When Sir .Vlexander Mackenzie wrote his "General History of the Fur Trade" In 1801, he gave a vivid des- cription of the route followc<l by the fur traders from Montreal to the Hieax great unknown northwest. Particn- larly did he describe that portion from Rainy Lake to the mouth ot the Sas- katchewan river, giving a most In- teresting nmning account of the many nipids and portag&s mAt with and the country through which he passed. It is a long stretch of time since Sir Alexander MacKenzle made this trip through almost unknown waters, but the district has not yet loot Its fas- cination for those who crave the free- dom of the unconventional and long to face and overcome difhcultles and distances by primitive methods. That there Is still a strong appeal In the oW historic route is evidenced by the numbw of adventurous spirits look- ing to the district to satisfy their crav- ings for something new. The Depart- ment of the Interior reports the re- Inqulrles for Information.
