In these mountings the artist has unlimited scope for or iginality in designs and col or effect. Amethysts, rubies, gar nets, aquamarines, topaz, tourmalines, and other richly colored stones are given settings of exquisite workmanship that makes more glorious the beauty of the jewel. Thiele's makes a feature of ladies' rings. The new fall stocks are fascinating.

I Price stood out vividly and made an mprews ii nd ted to results that tinged her entire career. She lived In a little suburb, making her home with a widow In poor circumstances. The first episode occurred one stormy wintry day about dusk. Elea nor bad cslltd for mall at the Tillage post office ou her way home, and had got few yarda down the street when she noticed a little green roll lying on the snow. It was money seven teen dollars. Eleanor returned to the post office and posted a notice telling that the owner of a sum of money found near by could recover the same by telephoning to her home. It was less than an hour later when there came a call from a woman living at the other end of the town. She named the amount lost, which had dropped out of a letter she had re ceived and puked that the finder come at once with the money, but Mrs. Woods, Eleanor's landlady, had a sick child and Eleanor helped her do up the dlshws and then started out It was no pleasant stroll, but, Eleanor thinking of the usual custom In such cases, fervently, hoped that the lady might give her a small reward for her trouble. She rang the doorbell of the house where she at length arrived. A sour-fneed woman confronted her. holding the door grudgingly ajar. "If you are Mrs. Cole, I have come to bring you your lost money," said Eleanor. The woman almost snatched at It with the words: "Well, you didn't hurry yourself, did you? It's tob late to send for my groceries now," and closed the door In Eleanor's face. The hurt and astonished girl atood dumhed for a moment. "I declare. I'll never try to do a kind act again 1" scolded Eleanor, but she knew the next minute that she did not mean what she said less than ever when, reaching home, her landlady consoled her with honest sympathy and the prediction: "You'll get your reward somewhere nlong the line, deary." The prophecy ratne true. Eleanor's task at the mall order establishment of Elston A Co. was to fold and mall advertising circulars. Her pay was poo, but the following Saturday noon when she got home and opened her pay envelope, besides the ten dollars she received weekly, caught to the lowermost bunk note with a fragment of paste win a twenty dollar bill. At once Eleanor reasoned It out that thn cashier had made n mistake. Later that evening when she found her sim ple hearted Inndlady In tears because the owner of the premises had do manded his rent, Eleanor wished the twenty dollar bill was truly her own to relieve the distress of the poor woman. The cashier smiled In a straiiRe way as Eleanor on Monday morning took the bill to bis window. "We have found out already a shortage In our cash," he said, "but you will have to go to Mr. Eartley Elston about this.' He was the son of the owner or the business and Eleanor liked him. lie had spoken to her courteously several times. He smiled up at her from his office chair as, timid and fluttering, Eleanor recited the circumstances of the case. "You will retain the money, If you please, Miss Price," he observed. "The profit and loss account was brought up to date Saturday night, ana we cannot alter our balances now. By the way, we need a new girl to take chance of our mall department. Do you think you could systematize ItT "I could try," replied Eleanor. "The salary is considerable or an Increase over what you have been earning. The happiest hour Eleanor had ever known was hers when that evening she insisted on loaning the twenty dollars to her landlady to help her out with the rent "You are Just a sweet, dear angel of mercy I" sobbed the woman feelingly. "I'll take It but you shall have it back very soon. 1 wrote to my brother In another city last night and he will be sure to send me some money." It was Just after noon the next day when Eleanor received a summons to go to young Mr. Elston's office. She feared she had been found lacking in eligibility for her new position. There sat her landlady, engaged In congenial conversation with Mr. Elston. "Jdrs. Woods wishes me to cash a check, Miss Price." he spoke. "As a matter of form you will Identify her, I suppose?" "Oh, surely 1" replied Eleanor. "It's a check from my brother, deary," explained Mrs. Woods, "and needing It cashed, not knowing but you had borrowed the twenty dollars for me, bless your kind, true heart! I have told Mr. Elstoa ell about your goodness to me." Eleanor .blushed under the sincere encomiums of her grateful friend, more than ever as she noted the rapt glance of Partl?y Elstoa fixed admir ingly upou her. It was a day later that she learned that the overpay test had been applied to every girl la the employ of the house and only three out of ten had proven honest, ene unuamooa ner promotion now. . It was a mop'.h later, when, after seeing her to the trala several times, Hartley Elston asked her to become JIM'S GOAT When one has been under the in fluence of ether and is beginning to merge from sleep there is a period when his tongue functions without the nowledge or consent of his wits. It may chatter mtrrily of secret things locked in his heart, and run throuirh ts repertoire of enerirectic phrases nd picturesque words. So in a Tnoment of stress, whether f fear or hate, anguish of spirit or suffering of flesh, one is thrown off his guard and exposed to the world his natural character. . Jim Wallis owns a goat. It is a he goat, with whiskers and horns and a pernicious smell, but it is loved de votedly by Jim's children and ap parently returns the affection mea sure for measure. In the Wallis household there is an atmosphere of good fellowship and kindness. There is never an exchange of hot words, never a sneer, never a black look. Jim does not use pro fanity and the children do not ans wer back. If character is the product of environment, Jim's goat should be a paragon, for he was brought into this atmosphere when a plaintive kid and has known no other. Environment cannot wholly remove the stain heredity, however. A geat will remain a goat. A few weeks ago,' Jim was coming up from the stables for dinner, he stopped to tie his shoes laces. The goat was near and seeing Jim in his posture began to sidle round to a point of vantage as though medi tating attack. Jim saw the maneu ver and stood ercet. At once the goat came to a halt and gazed innocently into space. Jim stooped again and again the goat manuvered for posi tion. This time there was no mis taking the light of ribald malice in the animal's eyes, and Jim took coun- el of prudence. Near the stables was an enclosure frequently used as a corral for calves. A giant apple tree stood in the centre of it, and about the roots of the tree were clustered a number of bee hives. The fence was hieh and strong, and here the goat was in terned to meditate his sins. He was in no mood for repentance. He had been thwarted at the moment of enjoying his first indulgence in 1 - wicKeaness, ana ne was peeved, lie backed away from the gate, lowered his head and charged. The stout oak timbers threw him back and multiplied his grievance. He whirled discovered the hives clustered about the tree, andn turned upon them thf vials of his wrath. Three short leap? and he was among them; a crash and the hives were a wreckage. The system of justice instituted among men permits of delays, but the lees pay their debt promptly. The goat stood for a moment dum founded by the destruction he had i wrought, and then as a thousand I tongues of fire began to bring swift retribution he found his legs and his voice and set off in a mad, erratic gallop. The most casual observer mipht have gusscd that the goat wished to get away from there. Round and round the inclosure he fled, skid ding at the comers, crying aloud cf the wrongs he suffered, vainly Keck ing a way cf escape, until at length desperation gave him wings. He left the ground in a magnificant leap, when hope had brought surcease of anguish, Fate elected to try his oul. One who dispairs of victory may ac cept defeat calmly, but when one has victory almost in his grasp and it is snatched away, his heart burns hot with rebellion. As the goat cleared the tence a score of bees in squadron formation darted upon him and concentrated their fire on the tenderest part of his anatomy. He was undone. The veneer of rectitude that was the pro duct of environment fell away, and from his throat rose high and clear an agonized and unmistakable "Daa-a-a-a-m!"
