Copyright. 1916, by the' McClure "Go milk the cows at one," said the harsh voice of Gretcnen's Jaunt. Tour cousin and I are waiting for the ailk for 'tea, " .1 Foor Gretchen picked ; up the pail ad started down the ; path toward the meadow,' . She ran tjuickly, for she lived In fear of her aunt, who had come to the house on ' the death of her parents and brought :01za. her only daughter. Olga was spoiled and the aunt made poor Gretchen wear rags and do all the work, while Olga most of the day. As Gretchen crossed the road she felt her foot strike something hard and saw a big bag lying at her feet On. opening it she found it was full of gleaming jewelscrosses of rubies, ropes of pearls, rings of sparkling diamonds and bracelets of amethysts. By the side of the bag was a little bird flutterinz about wildly, while its mother vainly tried to get it back in the nest' above. Gretchen tenderly placed the bird by its mother's side, then put the bag in her pocket. . After she reached home with the milk she went at once to her room, and, kneeling there in her garret, by the light of the candle she azain examined the bag of gems. One ring, a circlet, fashioned of twisted gold, rith three diamonds, she placed on ber finger. Then on the ragged hem of her dress she pinned a beautiful llteree of emeralds woven into the Shape of a crown. "How beautiful they look," she said, "I will, return them to the owner as soon as I can find him." Then she hid them under her pillow, knowing her aunt would take them if ' they were seen bv her. Soon Gretchen was sound atleeu. She did not know the! aunt had been uecoins through the; cloor. and had peeii h?r hide the bag under her pillow. Softly the woman crept in, stole the bag and weut back to her own room. When the girl awoke in the morning she was creatly distressed to find the bag sane. "Oh. I can never return it to its owner!" she wniled. Then she glanced down and saw the ring still on her finger, the enjerald pin yet on her dress. So b'hid both deep In her pocket. After -breakfast, as she was washing the dishes, they heard the sound of a trumpet, and the King's herald passed by. He was proclaiming that the Prince had lost his bag of gems, and that anyone who restored it to its owner should be his bride. This delighted the aunt. "Come, Olga," she said. "I found the jewels and we will claim for you tae reward. You will marry the Prince, and one day become queen." . So the aunt and Olga set out for the court, carrying the jewels in their silken bag. Poor Gretchen was left to wash, sweep and bring water. As she vent again by the tree beneath 'which she had found the little bird she saw the mother bird sitting on a branch and singing: "Your aunt so wicked and cruel, Has stolen the Prince's jewel. Go show him the ring and the emerald so green. Then he'll know the truth and you'll be his queen." "Oh! Thank you, thank you. kind bird," said Gretchen as she sped home again. In a few moments she had put oi. n clean gown and was on her way to the King's court. When she got there she found the great hall full of nobles, bands of music were playing and the aunt was showing the King the bag of jewels. Without stopping a moment Gretchen came forward and said in a low voice: "it was 1 that found the gems." "What, you?" shrieked the aunt in a rage.' "Away with her she is mad." But the King was struck by the girl's pretty face and simple manner and Raid he would hear her story. "Are all. the jewels there?" asked Gretchen. The King counted them over and replied that a ring and a pin of emerald were missing. "I have them." said Gretchen, laying both in the King's hands. "My aunt stole the bag from under my pillow, but the pin and ring were not then in it. I found the bag and do not claim the reward unless the Prince desires me." The Prince looked long at the fair maid standing so firmly, but with such patience, and his heart warmed to her simple manner and kindly heart. Nowhere in his father's kingdom was there a maiden more sweet or true. "Gretchen speaks the truth," said the Prince, as he stepped from his throne and took her hand. "She is as noble in soul as I am by birth she shall be my queen. Drive that wicked Masonic Calendar Tuesday Richmond Lodge, No. 196, F. and A. M.

Sit up now and tell me all about it. I did not mean to scold but," with a sigh, "it's been ta tiresome day and I'm rather cross, I'm afraid." "Well, that's no reason for your taking my head off" declared Caryl, with the violence of injured, pride. Yet she stopped crying and . sat up. ; "I wish, Julia," she said loftily, as she powdered her face, flushed from weeping, "that you Wouldn't take that high and mighty I-am-ages-older-than-you' tone with me. I'm not a baby and you aren't my guardian. All I said was that 1 wasn't going back to that horrid old business school and I meant it." "I think you are going back, dear," rejoined Julia, controlling her voice and manner to calmness. "And I think I'm not!" flashed fciiclt CJ rj"l "Why not?" asked her sister. She had learned long ago that with the younger girla point was gained sooner by questioning than through argument. "Because," said Caryl sharply, "I've got a job, that is" she corrected herself "a position." -.'With whom?" queried the other, in amazement. "With an author," answered Caryl i triumphantly." "I'm to be secretary to Kelley Delaine, the novelist.

I'm to get ten dollars a week," she added proudlyThe girl's tone of superiority fanned the flame of Julia's already smoldering temper. She was tired and hungry and her self-control gave way to a sudden flood of exasperation at her sister's ungracious manner. "Really, Caryl," she retorted, "your weak attempts at sarcasm are in perfect accord with the rest of your behavior. I think I rather overestimated your apparent age when I said that you acted like a child of five years Does It occur to you that f you had unDent a miie irom your iooiikii uis-1 it lit m r 1 i i nity. and had not gone deliberately about making a quarrel this evening.

"We ii. all I can say" said Booker, "you'd better find the lady first before you tell Sir Godfrey what you think. For my part and from what you have told me and what I deduce, I should be more inclined to look at it from quite another standpoint." Paton looked up with eager interest. "Well?" he asked sharply. "What is trat?" "f should bo more inclined to think that your Sir Godfrey Brooke had something to do with it!" "What on earth do you mean?" "I mean it wouldn't surprise me at all if I were to see it proved that he he got rid of her himself." "Good Heaven, Booker? wha are you saying?" The American smoked hard at his cigar. "Think it over," he said dryly, "think it over, and you'll soon see what I mean. First of all, I think, if I were you. I'd get a fuller explanation of that quite unnecessary motor trip of his last night. Have you seen this artist fellow this Mr. Crawley?" "No." "Then you've missed a cnance." "By iove! I believe you're right. Booker!" exclaimed Mr. Paton. I confess it did occur to me at one time." "Carefully done," drawled Booker. "You ought to find out quite a lot from Mr. Crawley. I understand you say be and Sir Godfrey are great chums. "Yes; been chums all their lives, he tells me." "A bit too late tonight, T suppose?" he said more to himself than to Mr. Booker. ' "Shouldn't think so." lazily drawled the American. "I'd risk it, anyway." "I will," said the little man briskly. "I'll-go round and call n him now. Where will you be. Booker?" " Noel Crawley had not gone to bed. What was the good? It seemed to him just then that he would never be able to sleep again. That awful day had been interminable," and the suspense of waiting eternally waiting, to hear the inevitable news from Brooke had well-nigh robbed him of his reason. Again and again he asked himself why he had not had the moral strength to accompany Brooke that morning to the hotel, and so have learned first-hand ovantiw Vijf v,ait happened.

As far as your accepting a position of secretary for anybody is concerned, you know as well as I do that you are not capable of filling it." "Now, Judy, dear," pleaded Caryl, with one of her swift changes of mood and temper, "don't be cross! I'm sorry if I was disagreeable to you but listen. I can typewrite 4 really very well when I try, and I can take slow dictation, and that all that Mr. Delaine says he wants. It won't do any harm for me to try, anyway, and the longer I work the better I will do. So, now it's all settled, isn't it?" "No, darling, it isn't," answered Julia gravely. "We don't know anything about this man who calls himself Delaine. He might be almost anyone, and -" . "I thought of all that this afternoon." Caryl interrupted, laughing and pinching her sister's cheek. "I asked Mr. Jennings and he said that it was a perfectly all-right position. Mr. Delaine has gotten people from the school before. I'm not such a little goose as . you think, Julia. Now please be a dear and say that you do not object to my taking the position. Of course," she added artfully, "I

Your Daily Laugh

BUT COOL MILLION. j "He talks a lot about being heir to miiiinn Hot air." that could have been better than this day of torture. Brooke had never communicated with him. That in itself was sufficiently alarming. He was consumed with curiosity, and yet, though the means of satisfying it was at hand, he was filled with such paralyzing fear and cowardice that he was utterly unable even to go to the telephone and to satisfy the fever of curiosity which was consuming him. What had happened? That was the question which hammered ceaslessiy on his brain for an answer. What had happened? By midnight the result was almost tragic. He had not heard a word from Brooke or any one else. The newspapers told him nothing. What had happened? Surely, Brooke must have done something ere this. He crouched over the empty fireplace, shiverirg as with ague. He was beginning to see forms, grinning faces in the shadows, to hear voices. His reason waa on the brink of the awful precipice of insanity. Then, out of the horrid phantasmagoria came a human voice, grim, insistent, almost petulant. "If you please, sir, a gentleman to see you." Crawley lurched forward and looked up with a sheepish, half-drunken expression into Hutton's face. "You miist have beer, asleep, sir," said Hutton resentfully. "I thought SWATTING. The fly has three thousand eyes A man but two: This makes it hard to awat L For me and youl

"Caryl," she said slowly, "if you really feel that you should take this job, I won't stand in your way. Personally, I would rather you didn't do it, for I realize what you don't, dear that you are not a good . enough stenographer to do the kind of work that Mr. Delaine will demand. You will do better, in the long run if you go back to the school for a month or so more. Still, if you feel that you want to accept this opportunity, I will not ask you to give. it up." "Then we'll call it all settled!" rejoined Caryl quickly. "I'll start in tomorrow with Mr. Delaine." Lying awake late into the night, Julia stretched out her hand and touched her sister's arm. "Slipping away from me, dear, aren't - you?" she whispered sadly, "slipping away." But no reply came from the sleeping girl, and, as Julia listened, it seemed to her excited imagination that all the street sounds were mingled in an echo of her whisper "Slipping away!"

"All right; trot it along." Then to Helen : "See that fat man over there?" Helen glanced at the enormously stout man standing in the doorway. "That's Tapper. They say he's right on the job every minute. Does all the marketing himseuf. Never lets a thing stay in the icebox over night. What you get here you get fresh. Hello! what's this?" "Crab flakes a la Tapper, sah," placing before them a delicious-looking concoction of crab meat, green peppers and tomatoes. "Oh, dear, you don't eat crabs," exclaimed Helen dismayed. "Ask him to bring you some other relish." That's all right. I'll get enough to eat in this dinner. You go ahead that looks fine." But Helen had beckoned to the waiter. M "Mr. Curtis doesn't eat crabs can't you get his something else?" "That's all we serve, m'um. There ain't nothin' else." "See here," fumed WTarren, "I can ask for what I want. Haven't noticed I staid in awe of waiters, have you? Don't need you butting in." Helen pushed back her untouched plate. It was always so; he always resented any suggestion on her part for his comfort. "That's right; now begin to sulk. Put on your injured air!" angrily j hitching his chair so that he faced ) the room. Here the hovering waiter removed their, plates and brought on a steaming tureen of chicken gumbo. "Try that." Warren's frown relaxed as he tasted it.
