Then his stern features relaxed. He 11 'Iccndo tho Royces had received nil
was used to all kinds of applications
for work nnd did not at nil favor the
familiar way In which .this new can- I
dldnte approached him. Catching sight
of the smiling face and magnetic eyes,
however, ho said:
"I am something of a mind render
myself, and I do not shnre your views.
Show me."
"Good 1" nodded the refreshingly un
abashed young man, plumping Into n

pers. Rule seven of 'Business Effi
ciency' says: 'Approach a business
man In nn original way,' so I present
the mlnd-rcndlng phase. Rule nine
teen says: 'Present a proposition out
side of the usual rut.' I've got It right
here. It will take me ten minutes to
explain It."
"Go on," nodded Mr. Lane, more cu
rious and amused than Interested.
,Earle Munson proceeded to outline
his plan. Mr. Lane was a tea nnd cof
fee merchant. He had worked, up a
very profitable mnll-order trade.
"Don't you see," submitted tho per
suasive nnd optimistic Munson, "that
you will have over five hundred agents.
picKing up oruers every uny in uie
year? Allowing that each man gets
but one order a day, that figures up
over fifteen thousand orders a year.
Getting thnt number of orders through
your circular nnd cntalogue system,
postage stnmps alone would cost you
live thousand dollars. By my system
you keep un account with one central
source, get all kinds of free adver
tising nnd have an army of men work
ing for you on commission basis
strictly."
"It looks feasible," admitted Mr.
Lane. "You come back nt four o'clock
prepnrcd to give mo the evening. Will
you?"
Munson had expected that the con
sultntion anticipated would tnkc place
in the private ofllce, but when he re
turned he found the merchant ready to
take htm to his home in his automo
bile. When they reached it Mr. Luno
ushered him among a garden group, in
troduced him to his Wife, three small
children and his daughter, Leila. The
visitor made everybody feel agreeable.
He complimented Mrs. Lane on her
lovely garden, played with tho little
ones nnd devoured the radiant daugh
ter of the home with eyes expressing
an admiration he could not; conceal.
"We'll talk right here where wo can
enjoy the beautiful evening," said Mr.
Lane, nnd on a garden seat just out
side the family circle they went into
further business details. Munson had i
drifted about a good deal in n busl-
ness way. It was tmlto remarkable '
the number of recommendations he !
had All spoke of Mr Munson partlc
ularly ns to his pleasing personality
and strict nttention to business, but

Munson wns simply irresistible the
way he mingled nudncity nnd a win

e former owner of the place, Jc
John
Wayne, died when his only son nnd
heir, Gernld, wns a mere lnd. Previous
to that Alma's father, originally n col
lego professor, had broken down In
health and John Wnyne, nn old collego
friend, had employed him to systema
tize and care for his great collection
of nntlques. When Mr. Wnyne died
there wns n provision made In Ills will

his work nnd have a homo nt Wild
wood and Its entire chnrgo until his
son nttnlned his majority. Of that
son after, thnt the Royces only knew
thnt ho wns receiving n full education
abroad.
It wns after her father's death that
the family lawyer of the Waynes vis
ited Wlldwood.
"Miss Royce," he said, "we under
stand thnt Mr. Gerald Wayne Is about
to return to this country nnd S 'ttle up

pass Into other hands. It may be some
time before that may come nbout, nnd
until It does, wo would like to hnvo

Alma felt thnt It wns only n ques
tion of time when she would have to
go out Into the wide world cheerlessly
alone. And she shrank from tho stren
nous life ahead of her, contrasting so
harsh nnd unfriendly with her calm,
even experience nt Wlldwood.
Alma was busy one day directing
the transplanting of some shrubbery
when she noticed n young man, an 6n
tire strnnger, stnndlng by the gnrtlen
roadway. His eyes were fixed upon
her studiously and Interestedly. As her
glance 'met his own he advanced, re
moving his hnt with n courteous how.
Then n seeming afterthought ns to In
troducing himself nppenred to occur
to him. Ho took scvernl cards, se
lecting one indiscriminately nnd neap
ing Alma tendered It to her. She
rend upon Its face "Wylle Blair," nnd
under this the name of the law firm
which nttended to tiie business of tho
estnte.
"You nro Miss Royce, I nm sure,"
Bpoko the visitor. He wns rnther
grave of manner, young nnd handsome
ns ho wns, as though study or weari
ness of tho world hnd brought serious
ness nnd surfeit, but a sight of tho
fair young girl appeared to lighten his
natural mood. "I hnve. come to look
over Wlldwood, prepnrntory to n possl
blo disposal of It to tho best advan
tage," A new brightness came into his face
ns Almn .In her pretty Intelligent way
showed him over tho grounds. But It
wns when she led him Inside tho sump

that he most prized this innocent, gen-

PLACE CHILDREN ABOVE ALL
Little Ones Have Been Aptly Described
as Monarchs In Homes of Serbian
Parents.
The tragedy of the little children of
Serbia reduced to stnrvatlon, disease
and rnggedness is really understood
only when one comprehends the In
tense love of homo nnd children that
fills all Serbian hearts.
"Tho Serbian homo is tho sanctum
of Scrblnh life," writes Miss Wpgonor,
"tho shrine beforo which tho Serbian
heart worships, tho nltnr upon which
thd products of hand and heart are
placed in simple tribute. And the
guiding spirit of the homo Is, of course,
tho woman, tho wife nnd mother. Wo
must go further, though, and say that
while the mother may bo tho guiding
spirit, the monarch of tho home Is tho
child. What wo nro preaching with re
newed Intensity today regarding the
Importance of the child, the education
of tho child, Serbia has long preached
nnd endeavored to practice. Almost
Spartan In Its creed Is the valuation
plnced upon a child life. Tho child is
more than it companion to Ills mother,
more than an heir to his father's' busi
ness, lands or wealth; ho Is the proper
ty of the state. Ho Is part of Serbia!
Everything is sacrificed to the welfare
nnd advancement of tho child."
