it. FAIR AND FORTY By LILLIAN M. RICHARDS. (. 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Down on n narrow struct. where the newsboys nre shouting "extra" most of the time, Myrn Wiggins sits nt the cnshler's desk In ono of those fnmous restaurants with n buckwheat front. For three years now she .hns sat In the same window. Her eyes and cars are nlwnys open and nothing escapes her notice. "Say, mister," loudly called Myra ono day to a customer trying to sneak out, "pay your cbeck here, please." "Huh," growled the man, coming bnck, "think you're smart, don't you?" And slamming the money down on the counter, "I suppose you thought I was trying to steal a feed." "My goodness, no," replied Myrn, smilingly. "Guess you were suddenly called to a fire; but after this, when In here, be sure and see me before you leave." "Well, Is that so," snccrlngly. "I suppose you're the one who runs this place, or maybe you " Just then her nntngouizer felt n strong hnnd grab his collar and dc mnnd an npology. Without hesitating the lrrltnnt murmured something about being sorry, and slunk out of the door. Myrn's well-rounded face became as red as roses when she looked up Into the set features of big Jim Rolnnd. Jim was a traveling man. and every time he enme to town It was not the eats alone that brought him to this well-known restaurant. Myra Wiggins' welcome smile and pleasant "How do' won him from the start. Now their friendship grew rapidly Into something more deep nnd lasting. They were both around the ago of forty and hnd come to that quiet tin derstnndlng of accepting things as they were; neither Inquired Into the other's affairs. A buxom widow was Myra, with one child, whom she boarded at a small farmhouse In the country. Little Irene Wiggins was the Joy of her life, and Myra delighted In her trips to the re gion where she could breathe God's pure air, awny from the smoke and dust of the city. One day, as she nnd Irene were starting for a stroll over the hills, a rosy-cheeked lad of ten begged to go with them. "He lives here, loo. mamma," plead ed her little girl. "He's my bestest chum. Can't he go?" "Well, nil right," replied Myra. good nnturedly. nnd taking his hand she In quired : "What's your name, little boy?' "My name's Jack Roland," was his sturdy reply, as he stumbled along by her side. "Roland!" gasped she. hearing the name. Then, curiously, "And what's your father's name? Jack, too?" "No, my daddy's name is Jim," nnd with upturned face, "you've never mot my daddy, have you? He's the biggest man In the world." Myrn's thoughts were racing a milt a minute, nnd her cheeks burned wltl curiosity. "He must mean my Jim," sh thought, nnd still it didn't seem pos slble. The children ran ahead and were sliding on the Ice. little dreaming of the turmoil they'd created for Myrn After a few minutes' silent pondering she called them to her side and turned back toward the houo. As they wen chatting In their childish way sh heard little Jack sny to Irene: "My Nation's coming this afternoon with daddy. She brings me candy nnd everything." Unable to restrain the question an longer Myra nsked. "And who's you Nnnnn, little hoy?" at the same tlm dreading the answer. "Why, that's his mother, of course. quickly replied Irene, as If Myrn ought to know. "She works In the city," Joined Jnck wlstfully. It was with quiet dignity that sh refused Jim's many Invitations th next week, and his big, jovial face wore a puzzled expression, althougl he said nothing. Myrn. who was usu ally the picture of health, looked drawn and pale. She'd grown fond of Jim Roland, and to discover him in this light hurt not a little. Tucking Irene on her sled. Slyni started down the buck lane througl the meadows. The cold, clear al brought the color to Iter cheeks, as Irene pulled the end of her scarf and shouted, "Gltty-up-horsey." It was a wonderful day and ended all too quick ly. On their wny back, as Myra went to Jump a brook she fell with a scream In the snow. Irene tried to help her up, but finding iter arms limp became frightened and cri"d for help. Little Jack Roland and his daddy, who wen walking near by, came to their assist ance. "Is this little girl yonr sister?" he nsked smilingly after the pain hnd sub sided. "No, Jim, she's my daughter," ex plained Myra quietly. "I've been n widow for several years now. And I I thought until recently that you were single also." Why so I am," Iks replied emphnt icnllv. "Little Jack's mother died when he wns a baby." "And and Nnnnn?" asked Myra tremblingly. "Nnnnn." with n relieved look. "She's my sister, and has almost been a mother to Jack, who knows her by no other name." Then, leaning closer and looking Into her eyes, ho continued: "Myrn, 'dear, he would so like to have n real mother. The children already love tveh other. Could could you ever can- enough about a big clumsy like myself to" "Oh, Jim, I'm so hnppy " TERM'S ORIGIN IN DISPUTE Many Explanations of the Letters "O. K.," Have Been Made, but Few Are Trustworthy. Quite a cycle of legendary explnnn Hons have gathered around the origin of the popular term "0. K." It Is held that In early colonial days the best rum nut) tobacco wure imported from Aux C'nyes, In San Domingo, notice the best of anything came to be known ocally as Aux Gayes, or "O. K." Another exiianatlon refers to the use of "Old Keokuk." on Indian chief. who Is said to have signed treaties with the Initials "O. K." However. the term didn't come into general use until the presidential campaign of 182S, when the supposed Illiteracy of Andrew Jackson, the Democratic can didate, led Seba Smith, the humorist, writing under the mime of "Major Jack Downing," to start the story that Jackson Indorsed bis papers "0. K." under the lnyirosslon that they formed the Initials of "Oil Korrect." James Pnrton. the noted biogra pher, discovered In the records of the Nashville court, of which Jackson was Judge, numerous documents In dorsed "O. R.." meaning "order re scinded." He therefore urged that It was a bclnted business that Major Downing saw on the desk of the pres idential candidate. The Democrats. In lieu of denying the charge, adopted the letters "O. K." as a sort of pnrty cry nnd fastened them on their ban ners. ONE OF THE OLDEST METALS Abundant Proof That Iron Has Been In Use Since the Very Earliest Days. Iron must have been familiar In the time of Moses. A wedge made of Iron wns left in the great pyramid by the builders, which proves that the metal was known and In use about l.fiOO B. C. Besides, In the fourth chapter of Genesis, It Is mentioned that Tubal Cain was a pioneer In developing the arts of Iron making nnd brass work ing. Brass, however, was a very In definite term nmong the natives. When spoken of In the Scriptures it is sel dom to be understood to signify the alloy of copper and zinc now called by that name. The "brass" tempered for etlgcd tools or weapons of wur was a bronze, usually a compound of copper nnd tin. Copper wns also known to mankind at a very early period. Articles of cop per were fount! 81 feet under tlto statue of Barneses the Great, which was erected .1,500 years ago. Debris lias accumulated there to a depth of nine feet, and the copper articles were found, on further excavation, 72 feet lower down. Gretna Green. Gretna Green, the rendezvous of eloping couples, was once the liaunt of persons who exerclsetl cupidity at the expense of Cupid, and innkeepers ferrymen and tollhouse tenders ex plotted the couples who tied there Any witnesses served to make the marriages recognized as legal, but the "professional witnesses" there, like the "marrying parsons" of some Amer ican towns, engaged "touts" to bring couples to them, nnd when the rail roatl from Glasgow to Carlisle started running, the station platform at Gret na Green thronged with these obnox ious "commissioned men." According to a popular legend blacksmith shops were favorite nice cos fdr eloping couples, but authority Is lacking for stories of .smithies who would pause while shoeing horses to help legalize marriages. Hatshopsu-Pharaoh. Who antedated De Lesseps (18C9) by 4,000 years In digging the Suez canal? A woman. Ilntshopsu-Pha raoli. She ascended the throne of Egypt with her brother, Thothmes II, about 1000 B. C. Her courage and ca paclty brought the reins of govern' ment into iter own hands. At the death of Thothmes she wus the mas ter spirit of the ago. The dominant womnn built the splendid terraced rock temple of Dair-el-Bahuri on the Thebnn plain. Her chief glory wa In sending an expedition to the Lnnd of Punt (Ophlr) by wny of the Retl ava. A woman dug tho first Suez ennui, and as the expedition returned up the Nile the shouts that greeted the queen (who always wore the habil Iment of the male) was the llrst "God save the king" In history! Too Much Self-indulgence. The greatest weakness of human na ture is self-indulgence, drifting along tho path of least resistance with HI health at the end of the roatl. Good health Is. of course, the first prerequisite to a long nnd useful life, Longevity Is sought as a high price of constant exercise of will power and self-control There are many iwr sons who hnve not that will power nnd self-control. In these cases we cull not go against nature by any amount of teaching. Exchange. Loss of the Griffin.
