Dodd & Allen f 2011 No. 24th St. :: Webster 5036—5406 | $ Star By BESSIE HARRIS <©. 1820. Western Newspaper Union > Long before Joe's fishing bout on me within sight of shore he watched fur the distant speck of light from the window, and ns he neared land the 8)>ec‘k of light grew and slmne with his own delight In coming. Home coming was a never failing delight to Joe. He loved to warm his heart at the though! of the picture there, big blonde Elizabeth, the elder sister, briskly busy about the shining cook stove, prepni.ng for his evening meal the things he liked best—and Star, the small wraith of a sister, curled up In the couch corner, where she could eas ily part the curtains and peer out over the dark wafers. For Star watched for Joe's white fishing boat as eagerly as his eyes searched out the light from the window. Lisbeth was a born grumbler, and lierbaps sometimes the work did full too heavily on her broad shoulders, for though Star might be wistful and willing, her strength was Ineuflielenr for many tasks. The cozy cottage on the shore had been handed down from grandparents to the three children. And now all their plans to beautify the cottage was made In the hope of pleasing Star the prettiest clot lies were hers, and It was Elizabeth who still grumbling arranged for her many pleasures-. And Star was radiantly grateful: her love for the big bronzed brother and the sister whose own life had known but the hap piness of service, was beyond expres sion. As for Joe. the mere thought of her there In the lamplit corner— brought a strange lump in his throat. In an emotion which dimmed his clear eyes as lie steered toward the light. It was Elizabeth, who held open the door for him, her rosy cheeks and white apron always a pleasant part if his welcome home picture. But It was to little St,i.- that he turned breathless, ly, as slip slipped from her conch to stand laughing softly and holding out eager hands “I watched you,” said Stax, "since I first saw you far against flie sky, and could not tell whether you were wave or really boat.” “And while you watched.” grumbled Usheth. I rolled cookies and biscuits 'Ml my anas ached, and they will burn In the oven this minute unless they are attended to. Star, you might at least take the pans from the oven while I talk to Joe." “I will take them." Joe offered quickly, and was off fo the kitchen. That evening, when fhp girl had hid den them good night, lingering, her shining eyes caressing them both from the doorway, Elizabeth turned abrupt ly to her brother. “Joe.” she said. “I have something to tell you. Something that 1 only learned today. I was hunting In the old Bible for my birth date: tlmugnt I’d made a mistake of a year, and looked It up. And there, folded In the birth and death jilace was an old let ter Seemed queer ns I looked that Star’s birth had never been registered with ours- hut the letter explained that Mother had written It before she died, and left It there for safe keeping. Thought perhaps I'd find It when I w'ent to write the date of her death. Bin I didn't think to do It, Joe. I will give von mothers letter In a minute, but this Is what It said: Star Isn't our sister at all: she never has—belonged. One night when we were away at school a limit came drift ing along without any folks, or any oars and In It all wrapped and quiet, lav n baby. First, mother thought the tiny w hite face w as a reflect Ion of one big star that seemed someway to keep shining down on the boat. Rut whefi she found what It was. mother sent fatlier out to bring In the boat, and the baby's eyes stared up at her she said, steady and shiny like the star And so she named her. No one evgr came to claim the baby, and though father tried to learn at the time, there was no word of accident or loss. That’s all, Joe; but I’ve given my young life. It seems, to the care of a child not kith or kin. And I have kept from marrying Jed Warren be cause of what I considered my duty.” Usheth paused. -“I shall marry him now,” she said determinedly. Joe made no reply. When at Inst his sister went sulkily to bed, he read the letter slowly through. Then with face aglow, hlg Joe Jumped to his feet "Star," he called softly. “Oh, my little Star.” There w-as no answer. Vaguely trou bled. Joe went out to the sands stand ing where the water, stretched silver ing before him In the moonlight. Not far from shore he saw a drifting boat. Sfar’N own little boat with the blue Star at Its side that he had painted. The girl sat In thv stern, a dejected figure, he could sea her dark hair rip pling over her shoulders ns It used to do when years ago she came at bed time for his good-night kiss. Joe strode out Into the water. WliPn he reached the boat's side the water was still beneath his Strong arm. Star turned to him calmly. “I heard It all,” she said, “and I am going to drift out of your lives as I drifted In. Some place I shall find— harbor." Big Joe had her In his arms. “Your harbor Is herp. dear love, ’ he said. “Don’t you know that we havp always belonged—to each other?” “Always?" breathed Sraf; the word was a question. Then her arms went about his neck. “Always,” she answered him softly. Paper Umbrella Out Soon. An unusual novelty will he placed on the market soon In the form of a paper umbrella, the New York Sun states. It Is said that this newfangled rain shelter will he a very satisfactory substitute for the traditional alpaca or silk. It will retail for 50 cents, thereby cutting the cost of umbrellas down to a sum that should be con sidered distinctly nominal these day* of the $8 and $10 variety. The color of the new umbrella will he black and the paper of a composi tion absolutely waterproof and crack less. It will have a steel frame, wood en knoh handle and a ring at the low er end of the “stick." Those In charge i of the manufacture of the novelty say i It will he durable and that It will roll j as small as a silk one.
