Dear Happy: I would like to Join

your stories very much. I am en
closing a 2-cent stamp for my badge,
also a story.
Once upon a time there was a
happy little princess. She lived in
a custle with her governess. One
day she got awfully lonesome for
someone to play with, so she crept
out of the big gale. She met a lit-,
tie girl. A. very poor little glii.
She had a raggy dress on. The
princess was so glad to see some
one to play with that she did not
notice it. The little poor girl and
the princess ran down the street.
When they went to the poor glii'e
house they made mud pies and ev
erything. Tliey were sitting out on
the lawn idaylng, when the poor
girl's father ran out und grabbed
them and carried them waydown
u cellar and hid them because it
was Just time that one king mad-;
war against the princess' futher.
After the war was over, they all
went and lived with the king in the
palace. . MarJorle Cliinig, Cieigft

him be explained: "A gent lost hi
mind and gave inn $200, and J want
your nffy davy dat It's all O. K.,
no dey won't think I pinched It."
Those words produced an electrical
change on the policeman's face a
startled comprehension. He has
tened his pace.
"What did the mint look like'.'" he
asked.
"He was a young guy; gr:iy suit
and utraw hat; dere he Is now."
Darting ahead to where Jerry
was waiting for a ctroet car, he
seized his hand and culled to the
hurrying policeman, "This Is him!"
Jerry turned and saw the law ap
proaching. His heart lost a beat,
and something In the pit of his
stomach seemed to turn tt somer
sault. His face was all guilt and
terror. Ho would psy the penalty
at last, ho thought, for that affair
of a year ago; or perhaps they were
after him for parsing counterfeit or
stolen money. His could prove his
Innocence there, but In the mean,
time they would drag up his past.
. . , Hut what was the ragged boy
saying? . . . "afraid dey'd say I
pinched It, so I brought a enp along
so you could tell him dat you give
It to me straight."
Jerry breathed easier; he v.a
greatly relieved; his bearing became
almost jaunty before the olllcer's
scrutiny: "What the boy says is
true; I gavo it to him."
Hut at one glance the policeman's
eye hud taken in his gray suit nnd
straw hat, brown hair and blue eyes.
"What's your name?" ho asked sud
denly. Jerry was unprepared for
this. It flashed through his' guilty
consciousness that if he gave his
correct name, he might be arrested
on the old charge. He seized upon
the first name that popped Into
bis mind, not realizing where he
had heard it. "Carnegie my name,
James Carnegie. I Just came in
on the train; came to the city on,
nil business."

He put hU hand heavily on the
bridegroom' shoulder: ' "Just no,
Just o; but I'll have to ask you to
take a little want with me."
"lint I can't" In alarm. "I've an
uwful Important engagement at the
Pennsylvania station. I'm late for
It already." Hut the officer' grip
on his arm did not relax, and hn
begun to guiilo lilm, with scant cere
mony, through the crowd that had
already collected. To tho newwhoy
ho said: "You come along, tm.
sonny, I guess we'll need you as a
witness."
Jerry explained, protested, plead
ed, but all in vain. It was hard
to make himself heard above the
rftar of tho elevated, and those of
bis ravings that the policeman did
hear met with Indifference. Before
he could fully realize the serious
1 1 cm of his plight he was In the
"filuck Maria," the "newsle," sitting
opposite, watching him with sym
pathetic Interest. It seemed to Jerry
that his house of happiness, which
an hour ago had been so real arid
nine, was crumbling down on his
head, Just as he had seen those
little French home crumble and
sink In a cloud of dust when a boche
ktiell struck them. He had once
more the same lust, sinking feeling
that he had known the night before
un expected attack, except that now
he was afraid, not for himself, but
for Amalle, coming trustingly to
marry him. When he did not meet
her at the station she would think
that ho had deserted her. Would
she ever understand, forgive? , . ,s
even if ho were able to find her?
"Say, officer," he pleaded. "At
least can't you take me to the Penn
sylvania station flrat? I swear I've
got a girl waiting for me there. Hlie
don't know another soul in this
town. She won't know what to do.
I was going to m-in-inarry her." But
tho policeman was cold to his en
treaties; ho had heard too many
hard luck storie before to be moved
by this one, especially a It came
from a lunatic. He smiled absently,
A Good Deed.

Hln seemed kind of lost, so I turned
her over to an agent of the Trav

ago. If you hurry you might catch
them on the corner."
Ills advice was unnecessary; Jerry
was already half way down the
stairs. Half a block away he saw
Anielle, small ami bewildered,' und
the kindly uniformed woman from
the Travelers' Aid, standing on the
corner waiting for a street car. It
need only bo said of what followed
that It was entirely satisfactory to
all concerned. They hail Just

went home an hour ago, so I giiCHS
this comes back to you, Mr. Car
