"NO MAN'S
PORT"
By GENEVIEVE ULMAR
(Copyright, 1S20, Weitern Newpaper Union)
"You're slipping, Bross," observed
Mr. Rnlph Wiirren, employer of Mar
vln Bross. "Down Into mornings,
Hleepy till noon, out of the ofllce half
nn hour before quitting time. It
won't do. Watch your stepl" j
Bross was nttentive, but unheeding.
A month Inter, when someone asked
Mr Warren about flic young man, the
response came: i
"Drifting, llti was a pleasant, ac
commodating young fellow, but he
Idled Ids time nway. Not vicious, nor
dissipated. Just caught with the glare
of the town and It dazzled him. Start- '
ed wrong somehow In choosing his
business enreer, and Indolence and
carelessness have done the rest"
"Slipping, drifting and then down .
and out I" These were the three for
midable phases thnt contended with
well meaning, but happy go-lucky Mur
vln Bross nnd won the contest. He
had come from a quiet country town
where he would hnvc boeri a success
with Ids easy-going, smiling wnys nnd
familiarity with local business meth
ods, and the city, instead of being an
Impetus to ambition, Decamc a pleas
ant hunting ground for variety nnd
enjoyment.
The last phase of Marvin's reckless
experience beenme very manifest to
him, as one chilly winter evening,
homeless, out of money and work he ,
crept Into the hallway of a public
building and crouched behind n radi
ator. "Looks seedy, but he's sober," oft
served one of two night watchmen a
little later. "Here!" with a shake of
Marvin's arm, "where did you come
from?"
"It's not where I came from, gen
tlemen," remarked Marvin pleasantly,
"but where I'm going to If you turn
me out of this warm nest. I've had
bad luck. What do ycu do In cases
like miner
"He looks ot the right sort, only
down at heel," observed the other ofll
cer. "I would say No Man's Tort. He
looks the kind Old Salty favors."
"All right, take him there," came
the response. "See here, my man,
you're grazing vngrancy and the mil
ntnti.nl nimrf cn rt ivltll 1T1V nnrtllOP I
and see what Old Salty can do with
you.'s
"And who Is Old Salty, if I may
ask?" propounded Marvin.
"Every man's friend who deserves
a chance. He'll be your free landlord
for a night, anyhow."
Marvin followed the ofllcer. He was
curious, interested ns they reached a
store.
"Here's another derelict to add to j
your fleet, Salty."
The queerest appearing man Marvin
hnd ever met nodded and regarded
tliis new recruit with one probing eye.
He looked the retired old mariner
complete. He had also only one arm
and was .battered up otherwise like
some son of battle.
"You seem to need a meal and n
bed," he observed to Marvin. "Dream
over having found a free harbor and
hnvo a talk with me in the morning,"
nnd he led Marvin Into .another room
where a frugal but wholesome table
was spread, nnd then to one of the
dozen pnrtltioned-off compartments
supplied with clenn, comfortable cots.
In the morning he questioned Marvin
In a fatherly way and said:
"You talk right, now to get feeling
right The matter with you is that
you have lost your bearings. Suppose
I find them for you will you try to
do mo credit?"
"If you mean a Job," replied Marvin
eagerly, "just try me. I've had my
lesson."
Before the day was over Old Salty
who was one of those philanthropists
who do u good deal for humanity with
out saying much, had secured Mar
vin a position ns attendant to a young
man, a confirmed invalid, going South
for his health. For live months .Mar
vin applied himself diligently to his
duties. He was well paid and when
the Invalid died ids parents made Mar
vin a grateful present of n thousand
dollars. Ho was a new and welcome
Marvin when he reported to Old Salty.
"You've stood the test," remarked
the old mariner. "Now, then, to get

made n mistake when you left pence
and plenty for the city. You took the '
wrong road. A man can never mend a
mistake without going back direct to !
the original environment and starting
In all fresh again. Jog your memory.
When and how did you come to start i
down that wrong rond." j
Memory did not fall Marvin, nnd he ,
winced and looked sad. How clearly
did he recall thnt last talk with pretty
Luey Davennl bnck at his home town, j
he insistent upon venturing a business
career in the city, she refusing to even .
think of wedding a man who would
take a wife Into n dreaded unknown. !
nway from home and friends. Then
he had gone his willful way down the
wrong road.
"Go back and take the right one."
directed Old Salty. "Write this sen
sible young lady, who prolmbly Is
mourning over you every day, that
you are coming bnck to confess you've
made a mistake nnd begin nnew."
A month later dour Old Salty smiled
benevolently as he rend n note from
Marvin Bross.
"I took the road to yesterday, as
yon advised me." It said "and oh!
whnt a pleasant one lending to the
touoiro'vs of applness aud peace 1"
SEES BACK OF THE CLOUDS
Uncle Hiram Refuses to Be Down

Not Just Right.
"Ye?, this is a lovely day," my

steadily falling rain, and meaning, of

I I say to him:
I "Well, we've been having lots of
i beautiful weather, haven't we?" nnd
thnt Is renlly the way It strikes me.
Cold, dark, rainy days don't worry
mo a bit; not the leapt little bit. On
i such days I recall the bright sunny
' days that have gone before, and dwell
' on them. In fact I store up out of
them enough sunshine to last me
I through u longer period of stormy
weather than any I hnvc ewer met
yet. As I look out of my window nt
the present moment, why, bnck of the
clouds that to my gloomy friend seem
. so dark and dismal I can pee the white
, fleecy clouds of yesterday nnd the

I know that we shall actually have
all those things again soon. There

As a matter of fnct, I like weather,
It doesn't disturb me, not a bit; it's
Just an appetizer for the bright days
that I know are sure to come.

the Declaration of Independence, Jur-
1st, inventor, artist, poet, essayist,
scholar, organist, composer nnd first
graduate of the class of 1757 of, the
University of .Pennsylvania, Is known
as the first American composer. Judge
nopklnson was especially noted ns n
composer of fetching songs for the
harpsichord. In 17SS he published sev
en songs dedicated to his friend,
George Washington. In the quaint fash
ion of his day, he wrote: "However
small the Reputation may be that I
derive from this Work, I cannot, I
believe, be refused the Credit of be
ing the first Native of the United
States who hns produced a Musical
Composition. If this attempt lie not
too severely treated, others may be
encouraged to venture on a path yet
untrodden In America, and the Arts

A DOMESTIC
LESSON
13y JESSIE E. SHERWIN
(Copyright. 182, Weitern Newspaper Union)
"When Serena Uartiett married WIN
Hard Parson," observed Mr. Abel
Ward.
"Better get It right, as you never
do," objected Mrs. Dorcas Ward. "You
mean Sellnn."
"I don't. Her mime Is Serena, as I
have every reason to know. Think
I've forgotten making out all kinds of
documents for 'Serena, daughter of
John Burtlett,' when lie died and I
was employed lir- the county clerk's
ofllce bnck there at Fnrinlngton?"
"SELlNA Sellnn! Poor spelling,
Abel, as well as falling memory."
Tills was too much for the self-opln-
lonnted Abel and he left the room,
slumming the door after him.
"Always stubborn and always
wrong!" lie ground out, as expressing
bis opinion of his arbitrary wife.
"Guessing nt things as usual and
never getting them right!" commented
Dorcas. "I hope I'm not In my dotage,
that I can't lemeinber a simple famil
iar name."
It was a sample of the weekly,
sometimes dally, quarrels and bicker
ings In the Ward family. At the end
of twenty years of quite comfortnble
and harmonious domestic life, Abel
and Dorcas were forming a habit of
contrariness nnd contradiction that
bade fair to wreck the family institu
tion. It had been accentuated more
recently by Involving Leila, their only
daughter, in the general ensemble.
She wns away at school approaching
a creditable graduation, and It and her
first love experience were marred by
the temperamental ldlosyncracles of
her parents. Her prospective flanee
wns Gernld Kyre. Abel laid liked him
from the llrst, and took pride in be
lieving thnt he came from "the well
established Kyre family" whom he
hnd heard of when n lad. That was
enough to arouse the perverse spirit
of Dorcas. She made Leila miserable
by expressing a dislike for the lover
whom Abel favored, and whom she
told he was thinking of the Ayres, not
the Kyre family, which led to the
usual battle of discussion and vari
ance. Ahel was so wrought up that wiien
he arrived at the otllce he made a
confidant of his partner ns to the nag
ging spirit of his wife in general, and
the Serena-Sellna Incident In particu
lar. "All right, go and see this Serena
lady nnd get her to establish your
claim. Prove thereby to your wife
that you are correct. Follow up that
system a few times, and you will prob
ably break up her really unpleasant
dlsputntlous pastime."
Now It was singular In a way,
though quite natural, that the same
thought should have occurred to Mrs.
Ward. That was why at the same
hour husband and wife arrived nt the
home of their old-time ncquaintnnce,
forty miles distant by rail. Dorcas
looked suspicious and Abel confused
as they met unexpectedly on the porch
of the lady's home, but, before they
could explain or recover mutual co.ua
nlmlty. she who wns now Mrs. Pnr
sons, appeared at the door of the
house. She was attired in mourning,
looked sad nnd troubled, but she wel
coined these idd-tlme friends In a
plensnnt way, showed them into tho
nnrlor nnd looked questlonlngly nt
them as she noted that they were pal
pably embarrassed.
"May as well tell Just what we came
for," blurted out Abel, and he recited
the oblect of the visit. He concluded
with the words:
"Just tell Dorcas thnt it's Serenn,
will you?"
"No, Sellnn 1" Interposed his per
slstent helpmeet
"You are both In error," continued
Mrs. Parsons.
"Then what Is It?" challenged Abel
"It Is, nnd always has been, Cyra
then."
Abel sort of shrank down In his
chair and Dorcas cast a vagueful look
at him, as If ho had cheated her out
of a treasured possession.
"Will you let me say something that
Is In my heart, dear friends?" sug'
gested the lady seriously. "It Is plain
that you are entering a perilous ex
nerlence In wasting your time nnd
hurting one another's feelings, prompt
ed by trivial matters on which you
disagree. I speak from experience,"
and the speaker sighed sorrowfully,
"My husband and I parted about a
year ago as a result of our petty quar
rels. He died away from home, nnd
the reproach of It will make me un
hnppy to the end."
"I say, Dorcas," spoke Abel, as they
got outside, "that young Kyre may not
belong to the family I supposed, nfte
all."
"As you like, Abel," responded Dor
cas in a penitential tone. "We are
both liable to mistakes, you know."
"Suppose we quit making them?"
suggested Abel, giving tho arm of hi
better half an affectionate squeeze,
"I think we had better do so," replied
Dorcas, meekly, "and we will begin by
agreeing that Eyres or Ayres, our
prospective son-in-law, Is a worth
I young man nnd will make Leila a good
husband."
"Sort of a losson a warning In
, what Ser 1 menu C'yrathoa, say
eli?" submitted Abel.
"Yes. Sel I mean Cyrnthoa, lias set
rr.' ifn'.-Visr" acknowledged Dorcas
bu.:.l i.v.
