"Can yon be satisfied here, Maud?"
asked Mr. I^urrowes.
"Well, I dot't know. It's pretty hard
to tell," replied his wife. "It Isn't the
city I shall miss, It's the people. They
will all be different, of course."
"Tea, I suppose so. I remember
bow dissatisfied Ruth was when she
and George went out West"
Joe's sister, Ruth, was frankly dlslllked
by her sister-in-law. Maud had
-come nearer quarreling with her than
:any other member of her husband's
family. The classing of her sister-inlaw's
case with her own raised a spirit
of opposition within her.
"If he thinks I'm like Ruth he'll find
Im not"
She quickly thought of the reasons
for moving to the quiet country place.
They had been such sound reasons,
too. Several times the doctor had advised
fresh country air for her.
"And just because I saw a woman
'In a funny sunbonnet while I was out
:there I am stopping it all. I won't be
i?o foolish, m make the best of it
i anyway."
Joe still stood absently tapping the
;window pane. Maud touched him on
. -the arm saying, Tm going to like it,
:Joe. Til get acquainted with every
^neighbor and Til make them like me."
! His face gre\* lighter as he looked
,'at her. "Good for you, Maud. When
.we take the car out it will be better
for you."
"Oh, yes, Til take you down to work
every morning and call for you every
night Til give everyone round a
spin."
"We'll have parties and invite all of
our old friends out," said Joe.
"And don't forget the new ones, j
They'll have to come to our parties."
In due time the car arrived. Joe
had fixed a part of the barn for a
garage. Every morning Maud took j
him to work.
"Why don't you go for a ride mornings,
Maud?" he asked.
"I'm afraid I'll miss someone who
-calls to see me."
"I never thought of that Hasn't
Anyone called yet?"
. "No one yet." she said.
' He tried to console her by saying
that everyone was busy at that time
of year. But the busy time passed
and no one called. Maud Burrowes
lost her pink cheeks and the wistful
look was always in her eyes. Mr.
Burrowes asked their family doctor
to come down to spend tne day. "jusi
look her over without her getting suspicions
Doc," said Joe.
"I thought the country would agree
^r, with her. There's lots of company
round here isn't there?"
"That is the trouble. She likes company
and has always had lots of it. I
can't understand why people don't
call."
Summer was nearly gone when Joe
again thought of the doctor.
"HI get him down to see if she's improved,
and if she hasn't we'll go
straight back to the city. She was
happy there."
The doctor called again. Maud was
very pleased to see him, but did not
go from place to place, bidding him to
follow her.
"This will never do," the doctor
said to himself. "She's lost interest
and lost her courage."
Tm going to give up this place and
go back to the city," cried Joe excitedly.
"I don't think that will do," replied
the doctor.
"Why, why not?" inquired Joe.
"Because Maud is not strong enough.

In things."
"How can I? If people won't be
friendly I can't make them," replied
Joe, very much puzzled.
"Well, do something. You must
think of something, Why." said the doctor,
as he boarded the train.
A day later Joe complained of not
feeling well, "Oh, I hate to go to work,
but I suppose I must," he said. An
hour later he came back home. Maud
cried out at sight of him. His face was
swollen and red. "Oh, what is the
matter. Joe?"
"I'm sick. I guess I'll lie down for a
while."
"Til get a doctor," said Maud.
"There Is one at the village."
"I won't see him. If you get anyone
call our old doctor. There's a telephone
at the next house."
Maud dreaded to go to those people
who had never called on her. She
tapped at the door and a woman appeared.
"May I use your telephone?"
"Surely."
"Is this Dr. Jones? Come right out
to the house. Joe is sick. On, can't
you come before night? I'm all alone."
When she finished talking with the
doctor tne woman toucnea ner arm,
saying, "You are all alone. I'll go right
back with you."
Maud told her the story of her loneliness.
"We thought you did not want
us to call. Then we?hesitated. One
of the neighbors heard you make fun
of Miss Field's sunbonnet and she is
t the dearest woman in the world."
i 'Tm so sorry, but it's all right now.
i isn't it?" sobbed Maud.
I Joe wished to see the doctor alone.
"What's up Joe?" asked the doctor.
B Joe answered in a whisper, "I put
poison ivy on my face. I knew they
would come in sickness and it worked.
H They have been coming all day. But
^B fix me up, Doc, I must go back to

RED CROSS ROLL CALL.
Any person who doubts whether the
+ViirH roil pall of the American Red r
'Cross is meant for him can decide
'easily enough by asking himself a few
questions.
Do you belong to any sect or organization
which, by its creed, forbids
you to help another or to assist
in a movement designed for the help
iof others?
Then the call is not meant for you.
Do you believe that health is a matter
of no importance whatever and
that every enterprising community
should have policemen, firemen, jails,
theaters, skyscrapers, chutes and
schools, but no hospitals, no doctors,
no nurses, no sanitarium, no clinics,
no provision for the prevention of disease
ad the relief of suffering-?
Then don't join the Red Cross.
Is it your opinion that when a city
is swept by fire or inundated by flood,
when its families are made homeless,
its men killed and maimed, its women
and children brought to starvation and
thirst, they should be left to their own
resources and should have no organization
on which they can call for salI
vation ?
Then you do not believe in the Red !

Cross and should not join.
Are you so young that the whimper
of a crippled puppy is beyond your
comprehension, or so old that the cry
of a little child does not penetrate
your senility?
Then the Red Cross is not within
your understanding and it does not
seek your sympathy.
Are you so blind to misery, so deaf
to pain, so hardened to pity, so proof
'to all feeling for your fellowman, that
you do not care a dollar's worth what
becomes of everybody else in the
world ?
Then don't join. The Red Cross
can get along without you.
Only remember?should the time
ever come when you yourself suffer,
when your eyes are wet with tears,
when your own face is contracted with
agony, when your on hands are up- lifted
in supplication for succor, your
refusal won't matter.
The Red Cross will help you?just
the same.
