Evidence'of this is .repeatedly discovered by those Who try to remove light bulbs which have recently been burning. Modern light sources for 'ordinary home use do not produce > a troublesome amount of heat, but the heat represents wasted power. Witli stranger lights, such ds those used in motion picture projectors, for example, the dissipaftion of heat becomes a problem. Light without beat would be very .useful. The illustration of light and i heat is often applied to argu‘nient and discussion, to suggest that when a difference of opinion • iexistfS the greatestbenefit could be Obtained Jay discussing it with v h view to throwing light Ou the Subject, but without the heat of argument and anger. A person who believes wholeheartedly .in A Jpoint jpf view can hardly defend -it ’agaifist attack without putting some of the heat of his own con- T rjvictlpns .into his arguments. In tact’, statements miade without the 5 hfeat of firm belief often seem less , r Convincing. 4 . Nol bthig able to generate'light eWithouj hekt. engineers have devised ways to allow the heat to escape harmlessly into the air. ;0r i to carry-’it awgy with ventilating systems, so that light can be delivered where it is wanted without fop much of thejaccompanying heat. The same principle will work with debate. When the sup porter of a point is building up his / argument, he must build up some heat as well, bus he can learn to dissipate the heat in being earnest'. and to concentrate on the subject, as much of the light and as little of the heat as possible. the DeKalb national five-acre corn ' contest.

J ' V chapter two THE SOFT closing of the front screen door and ms wife's quick pght came to the: minister’s ear. As she rounded the corner and appeared to sight, he lilted his head in a regal manner, one eyebrow shot up, and pis voice held a pretended sharpness. "Well ? Are you daring to interrupt rtiy great thoughts?” For just an instant Constance Atwood hesitated, her slight girlish tigure poised; birjdlik?, in readiness for flight if he were really serious. But he was not serious. She knew ' that self-mockery, and she moved closer with a little toss of her head ' and a gay-sounding laUgh. "You can’t ask to have this lovely summer day all to' yourself!” She dropped ontp the (ess sunken end of the wicker settee and reached tor the pile of mending • on the round table before it. 1 "I don’t ask for this lovely June day. 1 have it. It's yours, too It’s anybody’s. A free. gift. I ask only tor this small corner of the porch. Is there any reason why l‘ can't enjoy it in peace arid solitude? Why aren’t you more respectful of my wishes? More l humble tn your approach? More considerate? Goodness! I mpe| that in everyone except you!”. Her dark eyes shone in her nar7.<ow, rather sallow face before this raillery. It meartt that nothing at the moment . was troubling him She answered,. "You’re spoiled enough as it is. Besides, why don’t you shhre your great thoughts with me?” “I was just toting up my wealth.” . J "In being here, you mean." "Yes. \ It's a liberal community. i Our church, especially, is filled with fine people. Do you realize .we have many of the leading Citizens?” * “Such as the Meliclcs?” “Now, my dear. And the Twings.

his interview with Mr. Strong, the superintendent of schools. He came up the gravel walk that exactly bisected the front lawn and tried the front door. :it was locked. He rang the bell, but no one came. He peered through a window beside the door and saw familiar possessions set about in confusion in the big living room, Yes, this was the house, all right But where were hfs sister arid her husband? One outstretched wing—a “welcoming arm’’ —was a screened veranda. He went around it until he came to the door on the south side. It yielded to his pull and inside, pinned on the cushion of a wicker chair, he found Virginia’s note, saying that <• she would be back soon. From where he sat he could see a part of the veranda of the Manse. It stretched wide and empty across the, front. He took a book from-his pocket and began to read. Voices and laughter, coming from the side sometime later, drew his attention. He listened shamelessly, but he could hear no words. Presently the voices stopped, a door slammed, and a moment later he saw, through an open window on the near side of the house, two heads appear. They bobbed back and forth in a great, busyness—the girTs dark head and one that topped hers and was a silvery gray. Her father’s, of course. , Presently whatever they were doing was done. The two heads marched past the window, and a moment later he heard a door slam again and then the girl’s lilting voice. This time, as We called out, he could distinguish what she was saying. , “Here we come! Are you ready?” He put down the book and got to his fbet, seized by a sudden desire to go over there. There were so many good reasons why he should, he thought. For one, he was hungry and they were eating. He was lonoly, too, shut put of this strange house in this strange toivn. Arid, in the! loneliness and the strangeness, overcome again by a feeling not unusual to hini—uncertainty as to his resolution to go into the field of teaching,. He •had chucked a good job for it, and, now doubts began questioning his decision. He longed now for understanding and encouragement. A talk with this minister—because, surely, teaching was akin to preaching — might give him just thjat. And, after all the flounder/ ing' around he had-stone for the past three or four years, he could use some help of that nature. He stood Irresolute, Would it be queer of him to venture there uninvited? But everybody went to a minister’s house, didn’t they? It ’waa always all rigb*. If be could lust think of a eood excuse

Constance was saying, “Tea, Tat ready. Wait a minute. I'll put up the card table for you.” “Sit still, Duck! Sit stilL I'll it up. Here, this is yours. - Smells good, doesn’t it? Dad can stdrely make good chowder.” A moment later, with, the card Q table holding their simple dessert* —a plate of cookies, a bowl >of canned, fruit—and three saucers, they were each settled with their . own trays of supper. -The Parson, tipped back in his favorite chair' in his protected corner, had dis- ; carded his tray and held his bowl in his hands, his crackers perched precariously on one knee. Constance, on the. settee with her feet t up, leaned against a pile of cushions at one end, ignoring the un- - comfortable tilt of the sagging springs. Anne, her midnight- black r hair in a soft cloud about her neck, , rested her slim figure against a pillar on the * open edge of the * porch where she loved to sit with her long legs stretched straight out before her. This is the time that I love best, Constance thought Because this is the time when we re least apt to be interrupted. Maybe fm ’ J selfish. I guess I am. jßut I don’t *• like the world always barging in. I get tired of sharing my husband j < with his public. \ I wish this hour could stretch on and on and on forever. ‘ z “Where else do you find a porch like this with squirrels putting on an entertainment program and birds an orchestral program and my pool—” Anne stopped abruptly 7 y* and her voice changed to a rising wail. “Dad! Why the hose? Why the Aoae ? Oh, don’t tell me!” Hf nodd ed. "The concrete cracked again. Same place. I tried to fix it, but it won't stay fixed.” "But the hose! It simply ruink the picture! Oh, I’m heartbroken! After all my work of emptying that darn thing last year to make ft right!" She put her tray down, swung her feet to the ground, and - , moved with her willoWy flying z . 1 lightness out to the pool’s edge. Her father followed her with hia bowl. “I’m letting the grass grow , over that hose. In another few days you won’t know it’s there. I carried the nozzle around to the back of the bank and up to Jhat; e hollow in the stones at the top. so the water overflows from there and spills ddwn like a natural waterfall through the ferns , and rockery." “I see. Oh, good idea! Yes, that helps.” ' Constance, had listened idly, her thoughts once more straying. < Barth’s I shoes must be polished. But what could she do about the worn rim of his suit.collar?
