The Awakening
Bjr ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
I love the tropics where sun and rein
00 forth together, a Joyous train.
To hold up the sreen, gay elde of the world.
And to keep earth's banners of bloom unfurled.
1 Iota the scents that are hidden there
By housekeeper Time, In her chests of air;
Strange and subtle and all a-nfe,
With Tsgue lost dreams of a by-cons life.
They steal upon you by night and day,
But nerer a whiff can yon take away;
And nerer a song of a tropic bird
Outside of its palm-decked land la heard.
And nowhere else can you know the sweet.
8oft, "Joy-in-nothing" that comes with the heat
Of tropic regions. And yet, and yet.
If in evergreen worlds my ways were set
To see the wonder of waking trees;
To feel the shock of sudden delight
That comes when the orchard has changed in a night
Prom the winter nan to the bride ot May,
And the harp of spring is attuned to play
The wedding march, and the sun is priest'.
And the world is bidden to Join the feast.
Oh, never is felt in a tropic clime,
Where the singing of birds is a ceaseless chime
That leap o' the blood, and the rapture thrill,
That comes to us here, with the first bird's thrill.
And only the eye that has looked on snows
.Can see the beauty that lies in a rose.
The lure of the tropics I understand,
But, bo! for the spring in my native land.

If J eould Say one word more meat
than any other to working- girls, It would
h tbl:
Don't believe In fairy tales, (Irla.
The story of Cin
derella and the
Fairy Prince U .
fiotlon. ' It nerer
happens in real
life. It never hap
pened to any alrl.
It aeeuredly Is
never coin to
happen to you; eo
gvt the slllr Idea
out of jrour head
and get down to
the real builneM
of life.
Do you know
why the working
arlrl so easily falls
a victim to the
wllea of any well
dressed mam? It
Is because che sttl
believes In fairy tales. t
Bhu. reaQy Uvea In a romance that h
makes uo for herself. In It Home god-
like male creature, who in a happy com
bination of a matinee hero and a philan
thropic millionaire catches a glimpse at
her at her counter, or In her cashier's
wtcket. or over her sewing machine, and
he falls madly in love with her, and mar
ries her. and takes her off to live In a
golden slae on Fifth avenue, and she
Become a a society queen, and has her
pictures la the newspapers every day.
That's tha stuff the working girl's
dream Is made of, and she's so anxious
to find thta Fairy Prince that she flu
his oaa on every man she meets who
looks like what she consider a "swell."
He doeen't even have to be a deep, dark,
ubtle villain to deceive her. She de
nelvea heraelf into believing that a street
flirtation meana an overwhelming pas
sion that she has Inspired in the man's
breast t and that a few Joy rides and a
dinner or two at a reataumnt. and a sum
mer etcuralon meana marriage in the
end.
Many a gtrl haa wakened up from her
dream of the Fairy Prince to wlah that
she had never been born, and to find that
her hero bad Juat been amuelng an idle
hour with her, and when he had tired of
her, had thrown her anlde like a broken
toy, careless whether he had wrecked
her Ufe.
Quit dreaming, girls. Wake up and
fact the truth, and that la that men
rarely marry out of their class. They
may find the workiruj girl pretty and
piquant, and her very unconventlonallty
diverting, but when a man of family,
and wealth, and tradition marries, he al
most always picks out for a wife a
woman who knowa how to give dinners
and run an establishment, and who can
add her fortune and her social prestige
to his.
Of course there are exceptions to this
rule, but the average working girl haa
Just as much chance to be elected presi
dent as aha has to marry a millionaire.
Look with suspicion upon every man
above your own grade in life who offers
you attentions, girls. Ninety-nine times
out Of a hundred he is a wolf in sheep s
olothlng, and he has exactly the same
intentions toward you as a hungry wolf
would have toward a defenseless lamb.
Another great harm that girls' artless
fatta In fairy tales does la that in look
ing out for the Fairy Prince, who never
mil, they only too often overlook the
honest young suitor who is on the
ground, and who would make a 'million
times better husband than any romantic
hero. Naturally. If you were expecting
to suddenly be snatched sway from your
daily grind to a atate of luxury you
would turn up your nuse at the prospect
of a little built for two.
That's why many a girl turns down
the good, honest-hearted young aaeohaoiu
w aterk, who can offer her only tha lovo
of his heart and the work of his hands
and the ohanos to build up in life with
him. Her silly head la filled with fool
dreams about being a mlllionalre'a bride,
and by the lima she wakes up from bar
dream Mer ohanos of rent bapplneaa haa
gone.
Still another harm that believing in
fairy tales does sir Is la that It paralyses
their effort. JEvery employer will tell
you that when a woman rets down to
business, and gives up her mind to it. she
oaa out circles around almost all of her
male competitors. Nobody can find out
as much about a subject as a woman
oaa whsn she really set herself to In
vestigate it Nobody can remember ao
many details. Nobody la ahrswder than
a woman, or loves ts bargain better. No
man can be as fanatically Intent on one
subject as a woman can be.
All of the special aex peculiarities of
women lend themselves to auccess la
business; yet, in spite ot these qualifica
tions, women are generally paid less than
men in business simply because their
work Is worth lens.
And the resaon for this la that few
women think It worth while to ever learn
their business thoroughly because they
don't expect to follow it except for a
little while. ' They are depending on
somebody else to come !
Port them, and bestow upon them tha
money they want. Instead of earning it
themselves.

FIRST EPISODE.
She never afterward recalled anything
of the Journey to the north woods which
she made with Prof. Stilliter. Tha long
automobile ride, the Montreal express
held up between stations, the long drive
into tha woods, and after that, when they
had come to tha end of the road, the
long, toilsome up and down hill tramp,
through which she rode first on the
shoulders of one man and then on the
shoulders of another, until the party
came to a wild spot at the foot of the
clff. Here, in the warm spring sunshine
on ledges of rock a number of drowsy
rattlesnakes were colled In a horrid mass.
She does not remember that here, as If
waiting for her, were three men who
wore black masks over their faces.
When the men who had brought her to
the foot of the cliff had gone, with the
exception of Prof. Stilliter. the three
masked men removed their masks. 80
that when Prof, atilllter. withdrawn a
little so that aha should not sse him
first of all and be frightened, told her
to wake up, she looked Into tha friendly
faces of Barclay, Hemmes and Sturte
vant Barclay advanced with great ceremony,
dropped on one knee' before her and
klswed her hand for all tha world as If
he had been a princess. Then Sturte
vant came forward and did likewise, aad
then Bemmee. -
Although Prof. Stilliter had told her to
wake up, the spell of the crystal waa still
upon her like drowsiness after sleep. To
reduce her once more to a complete state
of hypnosis It was only necessary for
him to say quietly, "Oo to sleep again."
What looked like- a portion of solid
cliff rose suddenly, without any aound,
and disclosed a black passage that ap
peared to leap to the bowels of the earth.
In the mouth of this passageway stood
a handsome woman, a little under middle
age. There waa a diamond star In her
dark hair, and she wore a white garment
that fell from ber shoulders In stately
folds Uko those of a Roman toga. Bhe
came forward, caught the little Ames
bury girl up lovingly In her arms, turned
and, without a word, walked hack Into
the passageway and disappeared. For a
long time the sound of her sandled feet
upon the rocky floor could be heard.
Then the moving portion of the cliff slid
Mowly and noiselessly back Into place,
und the four men who remained without
turned somewhat slowly to each other.
Barclay waa the first to break the
silence. "Gentlemen," he said, "fifteen
years from today she will leave that
cavern and bring the world to her feet
and to ours."

Whatever your profession or occupa

the human mind a
petty jealousy. You
will resent the In
ference, of course,
that you can be
guilty of petty Jeal

your tendency of

merely the power to
"discriminate," and
that the ridicule you
heap upon your com

"keen sens of

But whan your

these same weapon
upon you the situation seems altered.
You call It Jealousy snl petty carping

an artist, a musician or an actor, look
for things to praise In those who are

It Is not expeoted that you should find
everything In the work of your rival ad

all human endeavor we find good, better
and best , poor, had and worst work. But
you can pass slightly over the latter trio,
pausing only to encourage the tollers to
better endeavor or to turn their atten
tion to other employment wherein there
is greater hope of their succeeding; and
you can siv the force of your thought
to ths good, better and best.
If In your secrot soul you know that
