S LOOKING 1 FOR JAN Is, Pa By L. HOLLAND. There walked down the gangplank bridging the little strip of water which Ibubblcd between the great whip nnd Trior n blue-eyed, golden-haired little (Norwegian girl. No one noticed her; no one spoke to her. She had come to the strnngo cotintry to look for Jan. For a long tltno she had had no word from him. The dear father and mother had died, so Gundrun sold the little moss-roofed home which nestled among the snow-capped hills of her be loved Norway and had come across the sea to find the dear lover. It all seemed so simple and trnsy that she almost felt she might sec him stand ing on the pier watching for her. Sure ly everyone would know him, he was so big and handsome, so good and so kind and so wise. Oh, no one knew so much as Jan. And from her full heart there rose a little Norwegian song, so wild and free, so weird and sweet n song of Jan's, one he had taught her, for Jan could write songs, and no greater Joy had Gundrun than In singing them. Jan was not on the pier waiting for her, nnd when she asked for him, no one heeded her questioning. Oh, how strange nnd cold this now country wns no one knew anyone else, everyone was In such a hurry, all seemed so busy did they ever rest? How unlike the quiet, peaceful home across the sen 1 Indignation held sway among (he nurses of the big emergency hospital, for Miss Elton, the superintendent, had committed a crime without prece dent. She had received as a proba tioner Gundrun, the little dining-room maid. "And If she gets through her pro bation nnd Is accepted, I shall go," declared the head nurse. "And I shall stay," retorted the sur gery nurm, for between them was fierce rivalry and they made It a point never to ngree with one nnother In anything. "I suppose you think wo couldn't run the place without you," sneered the first spenker. "Not quite so bad as that, dear," re turned tho other, "hut I will say, there are nurses In this hospital whoso res ignation would bo much more readily accepted than mine." This thrust silenced her rival, who made up her mind, however, that whatever the out come of Gundrun's probation, she, tho head nurse, would remain If for no other reason than to spite "that con ceited thing" In the surgery. The outcome was In Gundrun's fa vor. Quiet, gentlo nnd thoughtful, slid proved herself In every way worthy of tho profession and cro long not one among that blue-and-whlte gowned band of women who llltted about from ward to ward and from bed to bed car rying relief and comfort to suffering humanity, but were glad to have Gun drun their friend. Among tho patients there was not one whoso eyo did not brighten as It rested on tho prettily rounded llgure, tho crown of golden hair, tho deep bine oyes, so gentlo and loving, and yet so sad. At night, In tho dimly lighted halls In whoso shadowy depths Is needed no abnormally Imaginative mind to conjure up many a gruesome sight ; In tho cold, white surgery, where In tho wee, small hours of the proceed ings of the preceding day were all too vividly pictured on tho unusually acuto sense; In tho long wards with tho narrow, white beds ranged In rows against tho walls, with the dull yellow light casting an almost death pallor on tho sleeping faces, quiet and sad little Gundrun strangely harmonized, as she glided silently along tho dim halls, la and out of the gloomy wards, freshening a rumpled pillow, moisten lng fever-parched Hps, soothing to rest with soft, caressing hand an over wrought brain and pausing to each bedside to assure herself of the com fort of each sufferer la her care. "Ho watchful of the man la number forty," wnrned tho doctor as ho sidd good night, "lie's threatened with a high fever and I want to check It If I can." When Gundrun finished her rounds sho stole Into the sickroom. On tho bed lay a tall, bload man, his Hushed, heavily bearded face but half discern Iblo In the soft light. Sho straightened tho disordered bed, cooled tho hot pillow, bathed tho Hushed face and burning hands, and then, seating herself In n little, low Chair at tho bedside, stroked with soft and cooling hand tho throbbing brow. But In vnln. It seemed ns If sleep would never again close those burning eyes. Finally she bethought herself of tho little Norwegian song Jan's song sho used to sing In tho dear land sho feared she would never seo again. Sweetly, yet softly, her voice rose and fell, and as sho sang her thoughts wcro over tho sen. Unheeded lay tho sufferer at her side, unheeded tho shadowy halls, tho dim wards, tho great, Btrango city itself. Sho wandered again In the green fields of her dear Norway, her Jnn at her side, gazing down at her with eyes full of lovo nnd tenderness. "Gundrun, Gundrun l" Sho turned. Her heart stood still Tho song froze on her Hps. Leaning toward her with outstretched nrms, his eyes filled with a strange, sweet eagerness, was Jan. . Fainting, trembling, sho fell on h'or knees at tho bedside. "Jan, my Jnn," sho cried, nnd clasped In his nrms, bis Hps pressed to hers, ho melted Into her areata. (Copyright, W17, by W. O. CnapmanO mf w a w m m 5 WINNING OF CLARAS ta N By H. L. 8TERRET. "Dcnr me, Will, why will you bo bo annoying? When you're nice, I'm suro you arc very nice, but when you begin to talk that way " "What do you expect a chap to do?" asked Will Sinclair, as ho dug his heels Into tho soft earth beside tho fallen tree on which they were sitting. "I simply love you, and I must say so." "That's Just it," said Clara English, pouting. "There's no doubt you say It often enough. For two weeks you have said hardly anything else. Frankly, I'm weary of your swan song. I'lease don't begin all over again." "You are a heartless lllrt," said tho young man coldly, as he rose to his, feet. "You havo accepted my atten tions, well knowing your power, havo led me on, and when I admit my love, scorn me." "I like you very much, Will," said the girl, lifting her shy eyes. "That Is, when you arc good. But lovo Is not everything. Oh, I know you have money, but what I want Is somebody who will bo my master, who will rule me. I want to be run away with; elope, or do something. This thing of loving nnd wedding Just like ordi nary folks Is revolting to my soul. Now when you do something grand, or smash a record somewhere, come back and we'll talk It all over. I'm going In to tea now, so. goodby." Will gazed after the lithe, supple figure of his sweetheart as she walked away toward tho distant farmhouse where they were putting In their vaca tion. He was filled with moodiness and disgust. Lie Jumped up, and striking his cane wrathfully against an unoffending stump, was about to follow In the wake of the disappearing girl, when he heard a low chuckle beside him. Turn ing, ho saw the wrinkled and whis kered face of the farmer grinning cheerfully. Jasper Stehblns, farmer and horqo swapper, had a keen sense of the absurd, but also a heart big enough for two men. "I heard you makln love to tho gal," he said. "An' I heard what she said hack to you. Now don't git mad, young feller. I'm twice your age an' I've bin through it all. Land sakes, I mind when I was courtln' Mandy, how she kept me a guessln'. That girl's a likely colt, but she needs to be broke. Want to try?" "What do you mean by spying on me?" demanded the youth angrily. "Wouldn't git huffy, If I wus you," calmly responded the old man. "That's a gal wuth saving, an' she kin be had. You know she's goln' down to Miss Berry's past tho bend In tho lane to night arter supper, an you oughter set out nn' keep tier company. There's a lot of tramps hanglu' about these days, an' t'aln't no proper place for a gal to trail all alone. If I was you I'd be kinder handy down to tho bend In case thoro's any, racket there." "Good heavens 1" ejaculated tho young man excitedly, as he ac,ted on the hint and started off at a run. Aftor supper Clara loitered about the porch a while In the hope that Will would appear and escort her down tho country lnite. Finally sho started alone, determined to mnko her call and get back before It was too late In splto of him. She strode on her way, glancing now and then at thu new moon. It was a beautiful country lane with rail fences on both sides, and huge elms, dropping with foliage, fringing tho path. "Hold on a mlnnlt, lady," suddenly exclaimed a rough voice at her elbow. "In a big hurry, ain't you? Guess you can find time to talk to a pore man as hasn't had a bite to eat fur two days." The girl turned in terror, and saw a startling figure, clad in garments too ragged to hide tho powerful muscles of arms and legs. "All I want Is a quarter and n kiss," said tho Intruder. "No, you don't git off that way." As sho whirled about to run tho man caught her wrist In an iron grip and drew her towards him. A shrill, de spairing cry for help burst from tho girl's Hps. Then over the fence leaped a young mon, his eyes ablazo with wrath. Lie dashed the tramp to the ground, nnd tho latter, arising, sprang swiftly away. "My bravo Will," sobbed Clara as sho clung to him, "how frightened I was. You won't lot him como near mo ngaln, will you?" "It's nil right, Clara," ho returned. "You aro safe with me, darling." "I nm so glad." "Aro you? Then will you lot mo bo your protector always?" "Always." As tho lovers walked away togothor Undo Jasper lifted a grinning faco nbovo tho fence. "There's different ways of breaklu' fillies. Somo takes it easy and somo is shy, but they all learn to travel in double harness If they ain't spiled by too much conxln'. lteckon I'd better git homo now, or Mandy'll bo scared fur me."
