which never failed to relieve a

Snilnn was very tired, yon see, so
her reflections may hnve been over
colored and morbid. Rut childishly,
unreasonably she longed tonight for
the "atmosphere" of the ginger-bread
doll. And to wish for anything was,
to Sellnn. the first step towards Its
attainment.
Some friend hnd written "grandma,"
who was renlly a relative of her own,
and Sellna had almost forgotten.
Grandma's farm rested at tho foot
of a hill, which In summer was a
dream of beauty. Sellna wondered
what lUmlght be like In chill autumn.
The autobus, however, awaiting pos
sible passengers, seemed to settle her
dlfllculty, while a senso of exhilara
tion crept Into her being with the tang
of the sweet, fresh air.
Twilight descended, ns she paid
the driver and walked swiftly up a
tree-bordered path to tho white door
of the farmhouse. A little girl, with
widely curious eyes, responded to her
summons.
Orandina Harvey was nwny from
home, she Informed Sellna; a sick
neighbor bud sent for her In n hurry.
Grandma Harvey had telephoned, the
child added, that she must not be
frightened If she was detained until

"Hut I am frightened," the little
girl said. "I never stay alone, and I
want my supper."
"So do I," laughed Sellna, and
promptly deposited her bag In the
wide old hall.
"Who are you?" sho asked the child.
"I'm Jflno, from the city," tho little
girl replied. "The loctor ordered me
to go Into the country lust spring, and
I've been with Grandma Harvey ever
since. She used to be my own dad
die's nurse."
"And there Is no one else here?"
Sellna questioned.
'No one," answered Jane.
"I want my supper," sho repeated,
dolefully.
"Grandmn Harvey said she left some
sandwiches, but I don't want sand
wiches." "We will set about getting supper
at once," she said briskly; and soon
afterward the two ato a merry meal.
"You came," Jano said gravely, "In
answer to my prayer. I prayed : 'Dear
God, send somo ono quick,' and there
you were."
Sellna bent sympathetically toward
the child." touched by tho tremulous

LURE TO THE ADVENTUROUS
Through All the Ages Man Has Dared
Evt.-y Danger In the Search for
Beautiful Things.
Now, a thing of beauty that Is rare
and dllllcult to obtain seems ever to
hnve exercised an Irresistible lure to
adventurous man. To possess It ho
will suffer the hardships of the high
est mountain climb, or risk tho al
most certain dangers of disease In
tropic zones. He will dare death at
the hands of savage enemies and pur
sue his quest far Into the regions of
unknown wilds.
Into the depths of shark-Infested
seas he dives with the hope of secur
ing a lustrous pearl. Then to the top-
most Alpine peak he climbs for a rare
specimen of the edelweiss. A glitter
lng Jewel in an Idol's head may tempt
hlni to Invnde the sacred precincts of
nn Indian temple, or a beautiful flow
er lure htm far Into the prlmevnl for
ests of Rni7.ll, Colombia or Peru.
To this spirit the civilized world
owes not only Its greatest geographic
discoveries and Important additions
to scientific knowledge, but to It Is
also fluo the discovery of many of
nnturo's choicest things of beauty,
things whose practical value may be
but slight, but whose appenl Is to the
artistic and esthetic sense. National

j "Lucille, I think -you nre carrying
this affair a little too far." Lucllle's
father frowned upon her from the
depths of his great ofllco chair, and.
Ucle Rob, her father's brother and
I partner, frowned a bit himself.
"I quite agree with you in this,
John," ho said. Of course, the ofllco
force might have quaked, or the world
of lwslness men been disconcerted, for
the firm of Spencer h Spencer were
pretty big men and their word carried
considerable! weight. However, Lu
cille appeared not to be affected great
ly; she gazed down at her slim ankles
nnd smothered n yawn as if a trifle
bored.
Father," her eyes looked Into his
serenely, "I can't see why you object
to Mr. Carter, and besides he's so dif
ferent from nil the rest."
"Different I" John Spencer's ton
was almost exasperated. "I con t sue
wherein he's different. Ho Is slmpiy
tho fourth cx-soldler your Red Cross
work gave you a personal Interest In.
For each of the four you appealed to j
mo to give them n position. I crowded
Carter In rather than disappoint you, ,
though I didn't need him."
"Like the others three, be thnnks mo
by making love to my daughter. The
others, although they amused you for a
while, soon wearied you, but this fel
low evidently possesses some added
charm, for you accept his attentions
gladly, to all appearances."
"Rut, father," Lucille was persist
ent, "Mr. Carter Is. so different.
"His salary Is $25 per, just what the
others get," threw In Uncle Rob dry
ly. "Wouldn't keep you In huts, even."
"ne'll get to the top all right," de
fended Lucille. "You 'lions' in the
business world certainly make me
tired. You cheer the boys for their
valor in fighting. They win the war
for you and come back, looking for
Jobs. They mny get the Jobs, but right
there the heretofore bravos cease. No
matter what their heroism, what their
sacrifice.' tho danger past, thoy are
Just the poorer class, the class your
daughters needn't associate with."
"Lucille." Mr. John Spencer looked
somewhat hurt. "Your uncle and I
have been In the business a long time.
We have struggled and worked hard
nnd kept our noses to the grindstone
for yenrs. If wo havo won the title of
'Hons,' we deserve It."
"Hero stuff Is all right, but It doesn't
pay tho rent nor buy groceries, does it?
Why,' Carter has had two chances to
go with other firms. He's a bright
fellow, and there Is a Sfi raise
In each enso. Rut, no, tho other men
didn't have dnughters."
"I toll you what I suggested to your
father." Uncle Rob leaned over to pat
the little hand resting on his desk. "I
suggested letting Carter go; not throw'
lng hlni out without n job, but forcing
one of his recent offers upon him."
Her father turned suddenly and
pressed a certain button on his desk.
"Send Carter In," ho said to the red-
haired ofllco boy. And the next mo
ment n tall, well-built young man
crossed tho threshold. "Good morning,
Dnnlel," called Lucille, cheerily.
Why. Lucille," the young man's
face lighted up wonderfully.
Carter!" John Spencer stopped him
with a gesture ere he could cross to
Lucllle's side. "Just a moment, please;
I want n word with you."
"Certainly." Carter stopped cour
teously by his employer's desk.
"I'm not at all sntlsfled, young man.
I'm going to let you go. Of course, I
will see that you get another posi
tion; that ts understood, but I don't
think you hnve played square with
me. Speak out like a man. Do you?"
For an instant Cnrtcr's grave blue
eyes registered amusement, men lie
drew himself up soberly.
"I haven't played square with you,
-," be answered. "Of course I've
oeen very honest with your daughter,
but my year In the trenches taught me
a valuable lesson. You sec, 'lions' and
Germnn foxes must bo approached with
caution and a cunning to match their
own.
"When I first met Lucille, nnd found
out that you were her father, I real
ized that If you knew my uncles were
Carter k Carter, your most hitter ri
vals und contestants for the 'Honshlp
honors,' I would have to go slow.
"Lucille and I thought If I could
establish myself la your good graces
that would be, of course, tho llrst step.
Needless to say, my uncles wnnt me
with them, especially now ns I havo
some methods of yours to Introduce.
"Don't be nlnrmed, sirs," ns Spencer
& Spencer clutched at their collars
convulsively. "I havo drawn up pa
pers ready, for your signature, which
admit me into the Arm. And now, lf
you'll pardon us, Lucille nnd I will run
off to lunch. Don't forget tho papers
you are sure to sign, gentlemen. You
know, I shall belong to tho house, and
n houso divided against Itself shall
fnll."
Lucille ctuno over softly nnd put her
smooth cheek against her father's.
"Father, you und Undo Rob know
the story about 'Daniel In tho lion's
den,' don't you?" sho asked Innocently.
Spencer and Spencer exchanged
glances. "Yes, I reckon I remember,
all right," Mr. John Spencer nssured
her. "The mouths of tho lions were
stopped, lf my niomory is correct."
The other membor of tlio Arm, Mr.
Robert Spencer, extended his hnnd to
young Carter, and with tho other tilt
ed Lucllle's chin.
"Daniel was some boy," ho remarked.
