NEIGHBORS [y ANNIE A. CURTIS.
"Can yon be satisfied here, Maud?"asked Mr. I^urrowes.
"Well, I dot't know. It's pretty hardto tell," replied his wife. "It Isn't thecity I shall miss, It's the people. Theywill all be different, of course."
"Tea, I suppose so. I rememberbow dissatisfied Ruth was when sheand George went out West"
Joe's sister, Ruth, was frankly dlslllkedby her sister-in-law. Maud had-come nearer quarreling with her than:any other member of her husband'sfamily. The classing of her sister-inlaw'scase with her own raised a spiritof opposition within her.
"If he thinks I'm like Ruth he'll findIm 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 advisedfresh 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 bei«o foolish, m make the best of itianyway."
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 betterfor you."
"Oh, yes, Til take you down to workevery morning and call for you everynight 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,
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 tookhim 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 sayingthat everyone was busy at that timeof year. But the busy time passedand no one called. Maud Burroweslost her pink cheeks and the wistfullook was always in her eyes. Mr.Burrowes asked their family doctorto come down to spend tne day. "jusi
look her over without her getting suspicionsDoc," said Joe."I thought the country would agree
^r, with her. There's lots of companyround here isn't there?""That is the trouble. She likes companyand has always had lots of it. I
can't understand why people don'tcall."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 notgo from place to place, bidding him tofollow her.
"This will never do," the doctorsaid to himself. "She's lost interestand 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," repliedthe 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," repliedJoe, very much puzzled.
"Well, do something. You mustthink 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. Anhour later he came back home. Maudcried out at sight of him. His face wasswollen and red. "Oh, what is thematter. 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 telephoneat the next house."Maud dreaded to go to those people
who had never called on her. Shetapped 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'tyou 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 rightback with you."Maud told her the story of her loneliness."We thought you did not want
us to call. Then we.hesitated. Oneof the neighbors heard you make funof Miss Field's sunbonnet and she is
t the dearest woman in the world."'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 theywould come in sickness and it worked.
H They have been coming all day. But
^B fix me up, Doc, I must go back toB war.V

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 organizationwhich, by its creed, forbidsyou to help another or to assist
in a movement designed for the helpiof others?
Then the call is not meant for you.Do you believe that health is a matterof no importance whatever and
that every enterprising communityshould have policemen, firemen, jails,theaters, skyscrapers, chutes andschools, but no hospitals, no doctors,no nurses, no sanitarium, no clinics,no provision for the prevention of diseasead 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 womenand children brought to starvation andthirst, they should be left to their own
resources and should have no organizationon which they can call for salIvation ?Then you do not believe in the Red
for a Purjg, hard miles of real usefger and stronger and stur>re faithfully than you've I)o, with tough, black non;-walls.t to an ideal!*est Concern in the World to Wo:t Concern in Existence to do Basi

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 penetrateyour senility?Then the Red Cross is not within
your understanding and it does notseek 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 theworld ?Then don't join. The Red Cross
can get along without you.
Only remember.should the timeever come when you yourself suffer,when your eyes are wet with tears,when your own face is contracted withagony, when your on hands are up-
liftedin supplication for succor, yourrefusal won't matter.
The Red Cross will help you.justthe same.
