"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?"
