"How beautiful, how more than
jbeautlful Keith's sindnjr is!" thoujjht
(Eleanor CJarrow. as a clear tenor came
I Id from the sitting room adJo!nlng.
"Think I'll do to do musical cheer-up
jwork at one of the 'Y' huts over there,
;Hal7" she heard Keith Lltsey, her
husband's friend, saying presently. "I'd
(been wanting to go until the 'heart of
me' ached so I weut to Johnson yester
day. 'Sure, we'll take you,' he said."
"I'm glad for you, Keith. It's a won
iderful opportunity."
Eleanor detected a wistful note In
Halbert's hearty voice.
"I wish" he hesitated. "I wish 1
ould go to Johnson and offer myself,
too. What does Jessy say, Keith?"
"She doesn't know yet. I was to fin
ish paying for that bungalow that
Jessy's set her heart on In another
iyear, and then we were to he married.
txjt " he smiled a bit ruefully, "I can't
add much to the fund while I'm doing
Y work. I meant to take my butter
jtly girl out of that stenographer's
rplace she. hates next May sure, but
'now 111 hare to ask her to wait,"
) Eleanor sighed. Jessy Glynn, she
reflected, for all her dainty prettlness,
was as devoid of feeling as a bisque
doll I Who but the embodiment of
selfishness would put on her young
brother the entire upkeep of their lit
tle home and mother, and sprtid her
weekly $20 every penny on pretty
clothes for herself? If only Keith had
bad some clearness of vision with re
gard to Beryl Armlstead, who lived
alone In that great house her parents
left her, with only her old Invalid
cousin and the servants Beryl, who
with all her money cared nothing for
social life and whose greatest hap
piness was in listening to Keith's voice
In the Ninth Street church choir I
When Keith left, Elennor snt down
to mend. There were so many Httto
garments to.ruend! Four little boys,
very one of them as rollicking, as
Joyous, as unselfishly good as Hal him-
May I Com to You This Evening."
self, had tumbled Into existence In a
surprisingly short space of time, and
It took the Interest on that $6,000 Hal's,
aunt had given him (along with their,
little home) and most of Hal's earn-.
Ings to keep things going. But they'd
been happy oh, so happy t Eleanor
thought a little breathlessly. '
For a long time Halbert sat silent,:
thinking; then he rose and came to
kiss her good-night She drew bis
curly head down on her shoulder.
"Oh, honey," she whispered loving-',
ly. "I know you want to go! I know
you want to go with Keith I"
"I'll come back," he murmured. "God
would let me come back to you and
them but oh, Nell, there wouldn't be
enough for you and the little fellows to
live on while I'd be awayl But don't
worry, dear," he raised his head and
kissed her downcast face. "Maybe
they don't need me over there I"
The next evening Beryl Armlstead,
sitting In her car with the old cousin
In the city park, waiting for the patri
otic concert to begin, heard Lltsey's
olee.
"I'm going over to France, Jessy,"
lie was saying, "to work at a 'Y' hut.'
We I'll have to ask you to wait
longer than we thought, dear I"
"Why Keith!" flamed the girl when
she understood. "Whatever do you
want to do that for? You don't havo
to go, even as a soldier I Max thinks
they will Just take men under thirty
when they begin drafting and you "
"I am thirty-one, Jessy, but I want
to go to do this work and I'll come
back 1"
The conversation ended In the girl's
pulling his ring from her finger and
burling It from her. "You don't love
me or you'd stay here and try to make
money for a home for me !" she walled
oftly.
And In her car, Beryl Armlstead
felt the pearl ring that had fallen In
her lap burn her fingers like a coal of
tire I
The next day at noon Keith Lltsey
bad a visitor at his office Beryl her
self. "I have Just learned," she told him,
"that Halbert Garrow Is very anxious
to go to France as a 'Y worker and
he's so tactful, sn c-f nnlnl t-rwwi ne'lll
make a splendid one but his family
.eeds his earnings here. I know what
'they are, and I have brought you what
la one year's salary for him. Take It
to them and tell them a woman of
means who has no son to do The good
work he wants to do sends It and each
year he Is over there will send them
the same sum. You might mnke them
ithlnk," she added, coloring a little, "the
lady Is somewhat elderly. I do not
,want them to guess who sends It."
' Keith looked at her In astonishment.
!Was this beautiful woman with the an
gelic light In her luminous eyes the
'pale, quiet Miss Armlstead who had
sat In Lawyer Vnrdeman Hughes' Sun
day school class with him for two
years?
"May I come to you this evening,"
he heard himself asking, "and tell you
hat Halbert and his wife said?"
"They were the happiest people you
ever saw," he told her that evening,
"and I had been feeling blue until
you came to me at noon I felt you
were a messenger from the skies!"
When he was going she took from a
table the pearl ring Jessy had thrown
away.
; "This fell In my car last night" she
spoke with an effort "I I could not
help hearing the conversation! Can't
you let the same 'old NHsf buy that
bungalow so there need ha n6 putting
off of your happiness when you get
back from France?"
A strange emotion shook him, but
he could only gaze at her.
"Let me," she went on; "I want to
see the flower of happiness growing In
everybody's garden!"
"I did not know the earth held one
so heavenly kind," he said presently,
"but I won't need the bungalow. I I
am going to France, but before I come
back some other man will be the bus
band of the girl who wore this ring.
She's discovered I'm not her kind of
man. Well " an odd smile constrict
ed his features, "I should worry. I'm
not going to be sent for two weeks
yet," he went on. "May I call for a
little while tomorrow evening, and the
evening after? I I want to hear more
about the flower of happiness."
At the end of the second week Llt
sey, In the Armlstead drawing room,
rose for good-by.
"You'll write to me." he pleaded,
"won't you? Even a cheer-up man
will need cheering up sometimes, don't
you suppose?" He was trying to spenk
lightly to cover the emotion that shook
hi m.
"I'll write," she promised. "Good-by.
He iooKeu at ner ana me wnue
agony back of her tremulous smile
told him what his henrt craved. He
dropped her hand und caught her In
his arms.
"Oh. Berry, my sweet," he faltered.
"I've loved you every moment of these
two weeks, but I never dreamed until
this minute that you kiss me, love,
so I'll know I'm not dreaming."
LIMIT TO PARENTAL CARE
Child Must Be Allowed Freedom of
Mind If the Best Results Are to
Be Attained.
We must not seek to run our chil
dren's minds as If they were molten
metal. Into prearranged molds; for. In
the first place, If we succeed (which Is
improbable) we shall leave them rigid
and Inert, dead shapes that were meant
to be quicksilver currents; and, In the
second. If we do not, we shall rightly
lose their confidence, their respect,
their love. No; having brought them,
winnlngly, naturally, Into the pres
ence of their friends those true
friends and alders of all who would
live in the spirit we must bid them
Godspeed and be willing to stand1
aside. For the spirit takes many forms,
works through many temporal com
binations, and we must trust our chil
dren to find or create the forms most
congruous to their Individual hearts,
the forms that best satisfy them,
please them best. Too anxious a
shepherdess will but weary out these
lambs, till they sicken of our super
fluous care. This pasture or that
what does It matter? this hill or that
valley? If only we have persuaded
them to enter (and that merely by
showing them Its beauty) a green,
wide country where there are neither
deserts nor wolves! Lee Wilson Dodd,
In Yale Review.
Romances of Lady Arabella.
The history of Lndy Arabella Stuart
was a succession of romantic Incidents
and disasters. She was the daughter
of Charles Stuart, Earl of Lennox, and
being In the line of succession to the
throne, was the object of Jealous care
by Queen Elizabeth, who attempted
to marry her off to some European
prince. When she was about thirty
three years old she married William
Seymour, son of Lord Beauchamp. Her
marriage had been secret, and when
Elizabeth heard of it she had Sey
mour committed to the tower while
Arabella was detained as a prisoner
In the house of Sir Thomas Parry.
Both lovers escaped their prison, but
poor Arabella was caught and brought
back and placed In the tower, where
she remulned until her death In 1G15.
Enough Is Enough!
There had been a slight accident In
a Pennsylvania con I mine, with the re
sult that Casey was partly burled by a
small quantity of earth.
Callahan, the leader of the rescuing
party, called down to Casey: "Kape
alive, Casey. We're resculn' ye."
Whereupon there came up from the
earth a muffled voice. "Is that big
Mclntyre up there wld ye?"
"Shure he Is."
