I in the doorway stood a big policeman. Angy passed shuddcringly by, thinking that not even for her sick mother's sake could she become one of that “line.” Then she remembered that for

» uv u diiv icmriuuriru uiul ivr her mother’s sake she must not go hotne until she had secured either work or food, and she knew that her mother actually needed warm garments. Illness had tightened upon her mother just when the business depression had taken Angy’s position from her, and it had been a hard tight to get enough money for the necessary food and medicine and rent. She thought of how they had once lived so happily in the suburban cottage where her father had mended musical instruments and tended their pretty garden, and had sent her with gifts of flowers or fruit or her 1 mother's good chicken broth to many a humble home and to some quite pretentious. I “Blessings and sorrow’s were made to I be'shared" had been a favorite saying ■ of her father's, and as she remembered ■ the quaint philosophy of his gentle I life, Angy determined to let her wealI thier fellows share their blessings with ■ her and her mother. She deliberately I turned back and took her place at the I end of the waiting line of women. B As she stood waiting her turn to I enter the building, she recalled the ■ handsome, laughing boy they had known only as Harry, who used to come with his violin to be mended or » strung, and who always went away • wearing some flower from their garden. Sometimes he had brought them “ rare flowers from his mother’s large garden, where a real gardener kept everything in formal order. “Some warm clothes for my mother and a little food,” was Angy's timid )- response to the inquiry of the motherly woman at the ’head of the big distributing counter inside the buiid- ’ ing. J “This box seems to have been just , meant for you,” smiled the lady, as she held out a large pasteboard box I

At another counter Angy received packages of coffee, bread and bacon. Then she hurried to her mother, wondering how she could introduce the various tilings gradually enough to prevent the real source of such plenty being suspected. I “Hear the good news, mother! she | exclaimed cheerily. “The snow is be- • ginning to melt at last. And see the good things to eat 1” As she spoke she spread the packages before the rheumatic cripple’s surprised eyes. “How good that coffee smells, exclaimed her mother. I “And soon you shall taste! Oh, we’re going to have a regular game of the five senses, for you’re going to feel, something good, too, pretty soon. . With many a gay hint, hut no direct ■statement, about where it came.from,| she held the soft kimono helote hn mother, and as she stepped behind the chair to spread the warm garmen her mother’s shoulders, she felt init inner pocket a small l iac ’ <ilKe ' ing it might tell r. story, st’ > emoted it to her own apron poel.i . •

ly “leepin?, Angy opened the pacTkgff, it wa< but a folded envelope of note size. She drew out the content*, which proved to he it ehoet of paper containing n written message ant! a tiny puckage wrapped in tissue paper. "My dear boy," begun the note In a delicate and crumped handwriting "tie- | cause one girl proved undeserving of | this gift, you think now you'll never want to bestow It upon another; but somewhere in the world Is a good, true I girl who will love you for yourself alone, ns I did your father when lie gave this gift to me. After 1 am gone, keep tills until the right girl comes into your life; then give to her with my blessing. I urn sure you will tint! one who will become us yon say your wife must bo — like your loving mother.” Unwrapping the tissue. Angy found n small chamois bug containing a ring set with ttu old-fashioned cluster of i diamonds. Inside the ring was en- , graved, “Arthur mid Emily, June, 1885.” Within the chamois bag was written the name, “Emily Harrison Ends.” Across the top of the sheet of I note paper was an engraved street address —“44 Oxford place.” 1 Angy sat a long time huddled near | the taintly heated register, planning i how she would return the ring to its j owner. She reflected that us those I people hud shared their bounty with j her she must lose no time in restoring I to them their lost treasure. Early next morning she was nt a pawnbroker’s shop with a tiny gold pencil, which hud been a gift to her

The sum she received fori I it was very small, but it would leave , her a few nickels after e;,r . fare to the distant Oxford place adr dress. The neat maid who opened the door of the big stone house di,l m t , conceal her surprise as Angy asked for , Mrs. Eads. “Mrs. Eads has been dead almost a year.” explained the maid. , “Oh, please pardon me,” stammered Angy, “but this message must have been long delayed. Is her son here? The message can be given to him.” Angy was admitted to the warm i hall, and a few minutes later a tall. ’ broad-shouldered young man appeared i in the wide doorway of the library. In the semi-darkness of the great house she delivered the package and explained how and when it came into her possession.

“You are wonderfully kind, to come at once.” The young man’s hands trembling and his voice husky as he finished reading the note. “I’ve made a dozen searches for the ring, but had given up finding it. Poor mother must have kept it near her heart as long as she lived. I felt that she’d like her . clothing to go to those who could use S it. and so i had the housekeeper send

I “But you’ve already done so much t j for me by sending the things that ' mother needed so. Daddy always said that blessings and sorrows were made to be shared, but —” “Wait! Surely there was only one man who said it just that way. ’ The young man was looking hard at Angy now. “Is it reall.v Angy Lane? ('at It be?” Angy’s surpris'd affirmative brought this further exclamation: “And I am Harry, Angy. When I u-.r 1 home from college las; summer I went , to see your father, but all the ■ ’>! ■ could tell mo was that he had diei’ mid I that you and your mother had moved I away. Has the world been good to i'you, Angy?” Then for the first time 1 since they had recognized each other ■ both of them rememfiered how they ' had been brought together. There 1 ; were tears in the eyes of both as Harrison Eads, whom Angy had known before only as Harry, led her into the sunny breakfast room. “Sit here and ■ have a cup of coffee, and then we’ll • | talk everything over.” he said quietly’, | ■ as he placed a chair for her across the 1 table from where his own unfinished i breakfast awaited his return. In talking everything over there was j

so much to say and so many times to say “and do you remember” that lit was nearly noon before either of them knew it. When Angy started home she was in a big limousine beside Harry, with a fur rohe tucked all i about her. When they went together into her mother’s room, there were “do you remembers” all over again, un- ’ til Harry’s deep but trembling voice told the mother that ho and Angy had agreed to share all their blessings amt sorrows as long as they lived, including the joy of having her with them as their mother. As proof, he pointed to the old-fashioned ring he hud placed on Angy’s finger. i .... 1

JUST EOX OF CARDBOARD Hundreds dt Italian Families Use Invention Costing Them Only a Few Cents. Every American bonnokeepcr who owns a tireless cooker knows that it I allows her to go to a miitiueo mid And Hie dinner all ready on her return. But lit Jh to the honor and glory of Mrs. tilusepplnu Bianchi Geir-er of Turin, I Italy, that she has discovered endless I cooklug possibilities in the cardboard I box that look home her lust Easter hat, Isays a New York World correspondent. I Tills Is how to do It: Take your strongest cardboard hat box, and make sure it is neither broken I nor cracked. See that the cover shuts I light. These two conditions are ul>m»I lately essential. Fill your box with either cotton-wool, sawdust or hay, I well packed In and perfectly dry. Make I In the middle of this muss a hollow big I enough to hold your casserole, covering I It up witii the cotton-wool, sawdust or I hay—cotton-wool Is really the best. Put whatever you wunt to cook into ’ your casserole. Boil it on th< tire for I from ten to thirty minutes, according ‘lto tlio nature of your food, then put it f in your hat box, where it will cook as I in tile most expensive tireless cooker. ’ Then go to your matinee. Mrs. Gelsser * I says that you can leave it four hours f without hurting the meat or stew. All tlie flavor is retained, for, being licrmetI I ietilly sealed, the juices tire preserved. 1 Boil the vegetables ten to fifteen minr| uts over the gas cooker or tire before putting into the hut box and keep them

there for two hours. Potatoes should be ten minutes on tire and one hour in hatbox, she thinks, and dried chestnuts twenty minutes on fire and two and a half hours in hat box. Mrs. Geisser I calculates that even with the hardest foodstuffs her system saves you from 110 to 50 per cent of firing. Food keeps hot for ten hours in the box. The idea I has so taken with Turin housewives I that hundreds of families are now usI ing it. A local cookery school gives I free lessons in the quickest way to turn I hat boxes into tireless cookers. <me I woman discovered that the best way I to close up the lid is to sew automatic I buttons nil around it. All tireless cookI ers on the market cost a lot of money. I This one can be made by any practical I woman for a few cents.

Adjusting Burdens of Women. Au English overseer of recruiting i expresses the opinion that if flour bags were only a little less cumbersome many men would be obtained for the I British army who have now to be exI einpted because they cannot be spared I from grocers’ shops. While he ad I inits that successful attempts hnvf I been made to introduce woman assist I ants in grocers’ shops, they cannot bi | expected to shoulder a sack of flour I much less a bag of potatoes. It ap pears that strong protests are bein. made to the recruiting authorities b; tile grocers agaiust the compulsory pn iistment of their mule assistants o military age. They plead that tin men are necessary, as the sacks el flour cannot be lifted by women. Departure from established stand' ards are reputedly less frequent In the United Kingdom than in the Unitel States, but it ought to be possible in the present crisis, when every ablebodied man is needed in the British army, to adjust burdens in grocers’ shops to tlie capacity of female backs without seriously fracturing the unwritten constitution.

Russian Enterprise. The enterprise of the Russian peasants is continually giving evidence of tlte nation’s readiness for progress. The phenomenal success of the consumers’ leagues has enabled the establishment of numerous factories and distributing centers on capital owned

by the peasants themselves. The mis- » taken impression of the mujik as a moneyless dweller on the soil is 1 brought into sharp contrast by the real- ‘ ization that the Russian peasant is now thriftily investing his savings in industrial enterprises. Thus, the credit society’ of Sapojok, government of Riazan, has just bought a factory for 1 the purpose of manufacturing agricultural machinery for 23,000 rubles. Members of the society alone will be employed in making the winnowing and crushing machines. Chinese Women Students in Japan. Chinese girl students in Tokyo are no longer the curiosity that they were in former years, there being scarcely any girls’ school in the metropolis but has among its students young ladles from China. Many of these girls are studying to become teachers, others are only anxious to acquire new knowledge and become worthy citizens of their country. There are 20 Chinese women, mostly married, studying at Mme. Yoshioka’s Medical School for Wouieti, Kawadacho, Ichlgaya. These naturally wish to go into practice when they have completed their studies. — Herald of Asia.
