OCTOBER 7, 1910 THE ALLIANCE (NEBRASKA) HERALD The Flower of Happiness By S. B. IIACKLEY ': (Coprrlcbt, 111, by th McClur Nifl 4 ppr Syndlcttr) "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.
