A Frenchman, much llko tho Eng

places them In a glaBS, stirs and mixes
well together with salt, pepper and

an English phrenologist, that there

Mr. Severn says he has measured

that tho head continues to grow nt

GLEAMOFSUNSHINE
Story Concerning an Automobile
Accident, Kidnapeu Man
and Stolen Heart.
By MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD
RIDGE. "A pretty girl," mused Arthur Per
ry, nnd his heart warmed at tho ra
diant 8inllo bostowed upon him for
such n mero trifle as. restoring to tho
superior being In question a shopping
list sho had dropped.
It was on tho main strcot of tho
bustling llttlo city of Wollston. Tho
young lady had a companion who
seemed to be an elder married Bister.
The latter led a llttlo child of (our by
tho hand. As they paused to glanco
Into a show window tho younger lady
gave tho child a pretty toy of a, ball
to engross Its" attention. In doing so
tho scrap of paper In her hand flut
tered nwny In the breeze. Arthur re
covered It. Honce tho grateful smllo
and his present reflective mood.
"But," soliloquized Arthur, "I had
bettor get my mlntl on something
moro practical than pretty girls, al
though that ono wns a gleam of purest
sunshlno. I wondor whero I am go
lug to get a chance to bat my dinner?"
In his neat, though woll-worn buU,
and with that classic, Intelligent face
of his, ho did not rcsemblo a tramp,
and yet hero ho found himself In a
strnngo town without so much as a
single cent in his pockets.
Two years previous, an expert lin
guist, Arthur had graduated from col
lege. For a year ho lectured In two
institutions of.lcarnlng. Then ho had
temporary charge of tho foreign cor
respondence of a largo Importing firm.
Thoy failed, and with all hla splendid
education Arthur had been unable to
secure a now position. J Ho hnd learn
ed that a largo manufacturing con
cern In the city ho was now In need
ed a man of his capabilities. Ho htyl
spent his last dollar for railroad faro
to And himself stranded, the prospect
ive position having been filled.
Ho sighed ns he gavo a last thought
to tho pretty girl. Ho Bmlled as ho
glanced at tho llttlo cherub-faced
child playing at tho curb. Tho com
bination suggested home, lovo and
happiness what strangers to him dur
ing two lost, lonoly years I
"Look out. therol"
Of a Biidden tho warning cry rang
out shrilly. The driver of a cab stand-
"Man Your Automobile Ran Down."
lng at tho curb uttered it. And then
Arthur Perry awoke Into action with
all tho agility and skill of his splendid
athletic training at the call of courago
amid peril.
What had happened had como so
quickly that only a practiced eye llko
that of Arthur could tako It In at a
glanco. Tho little child had dropped
the ball and It had bounded over the
curb nnd rolled to the middlo of tho
stone-paved street Naturally the
child had followed It. As tho warning
of tho driver rang- out tho little ono
was stooping over to regain tho pret
ty toy, all unconsclouB of hovering
danger. Just at that moment an au
tomobile whisked around-the corner
headed direct for tho helpless being
directly In Its course.
Tho turn of a second might havo
seen the little ono crushed to a shape
less mass, for tho chauffeur of tho
auto had not tlmo to check tho ma
chine. It was not threo feet distant
when on a slide, rather than a run, Ar
thur Perry reached tho child. There
was Just ono thing to do, and ho ac
complished It. With a rough heavy
push that caused tho llttlo ono to cry
out with fright and pain, ho drovo the
Imperiled Infant almost to tho oppo
site curb and then a shriek from tho
pavement, a sickening blow and the
intrepid rescuer knew no more
It was perhaps two hourn later when
Lillian "Trovor reappeared at tho scene
of tho accident. She-had turned from
the show window In tlmo to boo the
stricken man seized quickly by tho
chauffeur of tho auto, lifted into it and
flashed away beforo any ono could In
terfere. Then thero was tho haste
and excitement of getting tho rescued
child and her hysterical sister home.
And now of her own volition, her mind
full of that white, silent fact, Bho had
glimpsed for a passing moment, Lil
lian was urged on to find this noblo
rescuer of her llttlo nlecoand thank
him.
Sho spoko to tho policeman nt tho
cornor, to proprietors of several street

S?

ed tho information sho desired.
"Yes, ma'nm," said this individual,
"I saw tho accident. It wob a flnsh, a
pick-up nnd nwnyj they went. Kid
naped, ma'am."
"Why, what do you mean?" falter
ed tho lnoxporloucod- Lillian.
"It wna a rich man's machlno that
hit tho bravo young follow, for I saw
its number You sec, thero'B so much
of thla knocking down nnd hurting
peoplo nowadays that thoro's a rcgif

Lillian did sec, nnd her tender heart
beat moro pitifully than over for tho
handsomo young follow mado prac
tically a prisoner, shut away from lov
ing friends. Then her eyes brightened
and a bravo resolution camo Into her
fair face aB sho learned from tho cab
man tho name of tho owner of tho
automobile that had so nearly killed
her llttlo niece.
It wns about ten o'clock tho follow
ing morning when Lillian rang tho
door bell of tho palatial homo of Rob
ert Barr, a retired city merchant. Ho
looked puzzled ns qho was shown Into
his presence
"Mr. Barr," Bho said plainly, ns ho
courteously aBkcd tho object of her
call, "I havo como concerning a young
mnn whom your nutomobllo rnu down
and spirited away yesterday after
noon." Tho man of wealth flushed con
sclously. Ho seemed embarrassed,
partly frightened, Lillian fancied.
"I I hope," ho finally Bpoko in a
guarded way, "that you havo not como
to mako any trouble I will bo frank
with you. I am having tho Injured
young man" given tho very best of
caro In my own homo, to avoid pub
licity and some preposterous damage

"I nm so glad to hear that," said
Lillian, with a great breath of rellof.
"I Imaglno you must bo tho young
lady ho was constantly referring to
In his first delirium," insinuated Mr.
Barr. "Tho great burden of his
thoughts seemoil to bo a beautiful
miss with a llttlo child."
"It It could not havo boon mysolf,"
demurred Lillian, but sho flushed
faintly. "May I call each day, nurao
him If I may, at least bring him flow
ers, fruits, books, co ho may knqw
grateful friends are thinking of him?
Oh, sir, ho risked his Ufa to save our
dear little one!"
"You must be somo mystic fairy,
Miss Trevor," Bald Mr. Barr a few
days later to his now welcomo callor.
"How Is that?" inquired Nellie.
"It wnB through you that young Por
ry camo to mo and now I find him an
Indispensable treasure. For yearo I
havo been Becking somo export In tho
languages to classify my large foreign
library, and hero ho Is at my hand,
well nnd happy."
"Even though ho was kidnaped?"
submitted Lillian, with a smile.
"01i, that was a double dcod that
eventful day," declared Miss Trevor."
"You mean?"
"That you had already kidnaped Ifls
heart."
And pretty Lillian flushed, and knew
It wns so within tho ensuing wcok,
and was glad of It.

It Is rather curious about those

nlso warllko were necessarily Moors.

known that tho Mohammedan reli

any people. Thcso Sulu Moros aro
among tho most fanatical Mussul

on. the part of tho Spaniards has had
no effect whatever upon jthem,
Tlio same rulo which tho Spaniards
followed In calling tlieso Malaya

India, but of Peru nnd Mexico, from
which countries the Spanish invaded

Mexicans and natlvos of tho West
Indies wero called Indians. They
wero brown, wild and pagan. Conse

In tho habit of spending six weeks In

With a party ot friends shooting big

from thcBO trips a new man. Tho
wild camping llfo, the pure mountain
air, tho Bolltudo and freedom from

overworked norvouB system.
Under theso circumstances ho has takon up walking to obtain needed
