CEDERBURC, Owner COL. II. M. JOHANSKN, Auclinnccr K, ('. LAN(JFOIU), licrk 8 A Joyous 8 t Idealist jj b By ALVAH JORDAN GARTH Ssocccocooooccosccosocoggo (ffl, 1020. Western Netrapnpor Union.) "Look up," rallied John Lano cheer ily. "You'll get over tho eyelids In ink I you don't tnke n glint at the sun shlno and the blue sky once In n while." Tho life of the oillco brought his hand down on tho broad, bent back of the bookkeeper with a brotherly slap, and then faced him all smiles and good nature. "Don't bo llko a quadruped hunt ing for acorns and never looking up to sco If It's an elm or an oak he's un der," proceeded Lane. The aged bookkeeper looked up with ' clearing face. "Confidentially," observed tho book keeper, smiling now. "I wasn't moon ing or blue, but I was trying to figure out how I wns going to sparo enough from monthly stipend to pay for n dou ble cradle." "You don't mean" cried L'nnc bois terously. "Twins, yes, 1 do," nodded the oth er anlnintcdly. "Girls. Snturday night." "Isn't it strange, now," exulted Lano. "Double cradle? Got a frlcud who has one, anxious to get rid of It." Tho bookkeeper followed Lane as he moved away with a gleam of mark ed suspicion In his eye. Looking back for live years, he could recall many and ninny Instances where this sower of happiness had sprung Into - the breach to face the needs and trou bles of others. Always ho seemed to be most providentially equipped to act as almoner or practical adviser. When Ned Dolby, a clerk, had broken down in health and had to be sent to Colo rado, Lnno had bobbed up miraculous ly with a railroad ticket. "Stand In with tho oillclal, seoV" he had Inti mated with an audacious smile. Right now he lifted from his desk a bouquet done up In paper and with It advanced to the desk of Miss Avn Itoade, the stenographer. "For mother," ho whispered raptly. "Getting bettor and better every day, I hear." "Yes, thanks to you," replied Miss Ueade with humid eyes. "The oper ation you paid for lias saved her life. I hope our constant prayers bring you blessings. And now you go and rob your garden " "Nonsense I Ridiculous 1 Thousands left one solid inu.-s of bloom 1" As to those acres of (lower bloom, as to the friends who had overcoats to give away In winter and double cradles and railroad tickets, this as suring romanticist glided over his Im aginary friends and possessions too airily for the oillco force to explore tho real facts. With his more artless beneilclniics Lane was rich, lived In a regal homo probably with extensive grounds, seeing that a bouquet on ev ery suitable occasion wns readily forthcoming. It pretty Avn Readc over suspected that this groat souled philanthropist was given to exaggeration, she adored him all the more for tho sacrifice, tho unselfish devotion to humanity thnt must bo the sole mniusprlng of his generosity. She was tho first to show solicitude when one dny, word had come by phone that he was 111. By tho end of the week it was said that he was under the fare, of a physician. Avn went to the cashier and asked for Mr. Lane's home address. "Queer," remarked tho cashier, look ing over ids books, "but Lane never gave us that. Never had occasion to ask him, for this Is tho first time ho ever missed a day." Ava mentioned tills to her mother. Tho old lady Im mediately wont to a kitchen shelf where she kept odd pieces of string and waste paper. "Yes, I saved It," she said, unfold ing the paper that had surrounded tho llowers Lano had sent. "I noticed his name written on In pencil and a paster homing tho name of a laundry. Hero It is." ' It was late Saturday afternoon when Ava stnrtcd out to visit the laundry. Tho people there gave her the address of Lane, and Ava looked surprised and almost dismayed. Tho fictions of her stanch and helpful friend wero apparent as she Iocnted a poor tene ment and was shown to u room ono flooil below tho attic. From lnsldo coino a babel of Juvenile glee. Upon a couch In tho stuffy, spnrsely furnished room lay Lane, pale and at tenuated, but smiling bravely and en couraging half u dozen ragged, un kempt little ones to continue feasting upon Ico cream and enkes sot on a table. In one of the windows was a little rude box filled with growing llowers. This, then, was his royal nbodo that two by four window space, his "solid mass of bloom." Avn glided to a corner of the hall and hnd a good cry. Then she bur rled home. Tiioro her mother Jmnpd her with companion tears. Then- e both departed In it livery r-uningi t hour later, to remove John Lane from discomfort, und almost sqyalor. to their own neat, comfortable home. "Fraud of tho world, but couMn't help It," confessed Lane, and a l ways his wan face full of sunshine "So many needed what I earned mom tbnn myself. And seo tho friends I've made. You two alono are enough to fill a lifetime wllh Joy. Don't jm see t hero's nothing worth caring for In life but love, anil my heart Is full of It for nil humanity." "Pirtlculoiiy for you, Avn," ho sup plemented next day "Wlint say?"
