'AUNT, POLLY'S LETTER

My dear Junior Friends: Treasure and treasure houses! What do wo think of when we hear ' these words? Something in tho past, a confusion of pirates' adventures and pieces of eight, or the United States mints, where the money we use in buying and trading 13 made and kept?

How small these things are to other treasure houses that are far more rich with far more precious treasure! Among the riches with which our daily livC3 in this world of color, of life, of sound, of wonder, of beauty, and of aspiration, are surrounded none, perhaps, is greater nor more inexhaustible than the treasure house of music. Opportunities to enter this treasure house are without number, tho sometimes we may have to hunt to find that this is true. Are we finding these opportunities and filling our eager minds and hearts with the loveliness and power and beauty of music? How many of you have watched clouds in the Fky for several minutes at a time, fascinated by their ever-changing loveliness? A Belgian poet lias told us that to try to classify or group art and artists is like trying "to fix the shape of a passing cloud." i It is that way with music. There' are as many different kinds of music a3 there are feelings and thoughts in our lives, and each Is

Invaluable. There is music that is like a poem, and music that i3 like a painting; there is lively, spirited and brilliant music, and soft, dreamy, tender music. There is great rich choral and sacred music, and there is tho wide range of more serious music that speaks of yearning and seeking, of suffering and doubt and wondering, and steady" faith and trust- Some music is bright in movement, some rich in tone, some tuneful in melody, some whimsical in harmony, some is colorful and graceful and light. , Shall not we store our minds, our memories, and our understandineM

with nome of the whole range of music, since each kind is an expression

or some tnougnt ana reeling of human life?

Edward Baxter Perry, the blind pianist, said that "all kinds of music are good if they are good of their kind." That is our opportunity to

seen to oecoine acquainted with the good and the best in eacii phase of expression by music. Such' expression by tone and rhythm far exceeds in beauty and simplicity the more crude expression by words. Browning says, speaking of Galuppi, a musician: "Brave Galuppi! That was music! Good alike at grave and gay! I can always leave off talking when I hear a master play!" Do we save our money and plan to hear good music? Severn! times, perhaps, during the winter, even in Richmond, some splendid musician or group of musicians appear in concert here. Do you save your money and plan to go to hear it? It will be worth to you every movie and Hershey cake you have denied yourself in saving money for it. When you buy music for the phonograph, do you seek to purchase a variety of good music? It is possible to secure some of the richest gems of music, instrumental and vocal, for a small price, just a little more than it costs for the "Wing-Wang Blues," and you have acquired something which is real and deeply satisfying, and not merely a shadow or an attempt. When you play or hear such music you will feel as Longfellow must have often felt after hearing music, for he wrote in Evangeline: "When she had passed, it seemed liko the ceasing of exquisite music." Such treasure no one can take away from us. Even after we no

longer hear the music itself, the memory of it stays with us, a living

beauty. As Wordsworth said, after hearing me song or., a loaiaen cuuin

grain in the field:

"Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending;"

And adds:

"The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more."

Sincerely, your friend, AUNT POLLY.

WHEN PHILLIPS BROOKS FAILED IN CONTEST

Philips looked ruefully at the large envelope which lay on his desk. Taking up his pencil he wrote on tho back of it, "Giveen in for prize at the Public Latin School. But unfortunately failed. Ah Me miserium!" Tho envelope contained two essays, which he had spent many hours writing, hoping they would

be good enough to receive a prize. This boyhood failure did not lessen the ambition or daunt the courage of Philips Brooks to becomo a great man. Ho plowed through one failure after another, but finally found tho profession which brought him success. He

became the most famous preacher

of his time and one of the most

famous of all times. Boys and

CHAPTER III

The room below was bare save for a wide table, two chairs and a

tin box.

Two men entered. One carried a

great tin horn and the other some white, filmy material that looked

like crepe georgette.

"Wonder," said the tall, thin

man, "how Jim LeGrande feels

now?"

At the sound of his father's name,

Billy started.

"That tall man,,, he whispered.

"is Mr. Gray, father's employer, and the short, fat one la Mr. Black, Mr. Gray's partner. What are they

doing here? ' "They are ghosts," smiled Christine. "No, no!" muttered Billy. The tall man was speaking again. "It doesn't take much to scare them," he said. "A toot of this horn .and. a flash of your ghostdress scares 'em to death." "I'd say so!" said the Bhort, stout man, laughing. "Mra. Le Grande and Miss Grace are great cowards and that boy 13 a good for-

nothing, like his father. Billy leaped to his feet but Christine put her finger on her lips and he sat down again. "Now that girl that's visiting

'em," eald Mr. Gray. "Miss Chria Christine or something like that she's brave and I'd be afraid for her to come here. Make the coffee, Black." Mr. Black kindled a fire In tho fireplace and made coffee la a battered Iron kettle, Mr. Gray epread a newspaper upon the table and took eome cheese, a box of crackers, eomo cigarettes and fruit out of the box. "Charlie Gray!" eald Mr, Black, as they eat down to their meal, "it's got to bo settled tonight!" "Now, Black, be reasonable "I -won't" said Mr. Black suddenly. "Ive been reasonable long enough!" "Jim LeGrande knew how we swindled people! And he might have told it! So' when we stole the money, you accused' him of it. You promised me ?5,000 to steal the papers proving his Innocence. I

stole them and now you won t

pay!" "Black" "I stole them,' added Mr. Black. "You know I did! Here they are." He took a brick out of the chimney and drew from behind it a bundle of papers. Then he replaced them. "You shall have your money tomorrow," said Mr. Gray, "and then we'll go to Europe. Meet me here at eleven-thirty tomorrow--" night.

place. Those LeGrande .kids used to run in here day and night, but after those noises none of them would, come here, I'll wager my head." The men left, and Billy and Christine went downstairs. Chris

tine t ook the treasured papers from their hiding place and put them in her pocket. They told Mrs. LeGrande and

Grace about their adventures In the Haunted House. ""Meet me at the back door at ten," said Billy. "I will," said Christine. "Oh, those awful old men! I always knew Uncle Jim was Innocent. I'll meet you at ten, Billy." Half an hour before the appointed time Christine crept downstairs and, opening the parlor

door, stepped inside. The lights were turned very low and at first, she could see nothing, then she- heard a slight rustle behind her, and, turning in alarm, looked up into two twinkling Irish eyes. She turned up the light and beheld a tall policeman. "Are are you Mike OTIara?" she asked. "So I be!' he laughed. "Waiting for me own Nora.' "Are you very brave?" asked.

' ! Christine abruptly.

He laughed again. "faith, an it's a poor policeman I'd make if I wasn't!" So Christine told him about the men in the Haunted House. "An' ye want me to arrlst 'em? ' he smiled when she ended. "Yes." , "Then tell me Nora why I've left her, and I'll go and git my friends Pat and Jerry. Tell Mr. Billy to

come. Christine called Billy and he and Mike went off together. Two hours later they returned. "Did you get them?" asked

Christine. "Git 'em we

deep, of good color and with few or

no branches. This shows clearthinking and self-control. If this line rises close to, or touching , the life-line (a, Fig. 1) it indicates caution; if tied together for some distance, lack of confidence; if it begins far down the life-line (a, Fig. 3), late, mental development and probable criminal tendency. When the head-line runs straight

across tho hand, it discloses practical common sense. A wavy line shows lack of decision, and a curve upward, love of money. Ambition Revealed When the line rises on the mount, Jupiter (a, Fig. 2), it indicates self-confidence and ambition, with ability as a public speaker. If the .

If the branch goes to Jupiter, the interest Is to the public; if to Saturn, in science, chemistry, mines, or farming; if to Apollo, in art, drama, dancing; If to Mercury, In business, medicine, or mathematics; if to Mars, in army life; If to Venus, in singing, society, and decorative arts; if to Luna, in mystic subjects, the sea, and travel. A chained line (c. Fig. 1), shows lack of concentration. An island in the line usually prophesies a fever (e, Fig. 2); if at the end of the line (b, Fig. 3), the person may be subject to mental trouble. (Copyright, 1922. Associated Editors)

'arrlsted' them. At first, they knew nothing about it. Then I showed

them the empty space behind the brick." "An'- 'twas scared they looked," said Mike. "But we marched them up to headquarters, we did!" "And father will soon be free) Soon be free!" cried Billy, running upstairs to tell Grace and Mrs. LeGrande. It was a bright, sunny afternoon.

Grace was lyiug in the hammock reading, and Mrs. LeGrande was

embroidering close by, while Christine and Billy were in a swing oa

the other side of the tree.

They were "discussing Cleopatra
