j After Many Days | <5 0 w I is By MARTHA M. WILLIAMS § A . , v . $ f (@. 1920. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) The name wa?- a rank misfit —AsI pasta Gay presupposed .a personality learnedly light. Instead, poor Spasia held learning in horror, and regarded real hearty mirth as a snare of the Evil One. Consequently she found existence so dull, drab and lifeless her natural sweetness fermented in its vacuum to a sour verging on bitterness. Very human, very timid, wholly wanting in conceit, apparently she was foredoomed to tragic spinsterhood—tragic because she had a warm heart withal tender, and filled with yearnings for her very own. A husband, little children, a snug place to keep spotless and comfortable —such were her dumb desires —which she would have gone to the stake rather than admit. “A born old maid,” said her world, unsuspecting—that is to say its kindlier half. The other half, led by Jerry Dayton, sneered: “A monument to men’s discrimination — what could anybody, even a blind man, find in her to attract?” Jerry was wicked —spirit, tongue and temper. Hated things and people simply for the sake of hating. Rich, stormily beautiful, avid of conquest* and dominion, she chose to feel affronted by Spasia's meek existence. Possibly the seed of affront had nhen planted in childhood, when Spasia had ventured to put her small niece’s picture in a local newspaper contest, where it had won first prize over several presentments of Jerry. Jerry had cried herself into spasms over the hurt to her vanity—mysteriously that night, the prize picture was defaced, nobody could tell how. But shortly afterward a Dayton footman left service to set up in business for. himself. Tongues wagged discreetly—behind hands to be sure—but nobody got further than saying the Daytons would never let money stand between their girl and anything she might want to do or have done. Timid though she was. Spasia had texture —witness that when she was left on the small place she kept on living there, making enough .through, her garden, chickens and dairy to live decently and keep far from debt. This In spite of feeding, clothing and housing Black Maria and her blind twins. Maria did the milking and marketing, working out in spare hours for money which, added to ' her modest wages, would send Bill and Jimmy through the blind school when they were bigger. One fine day a bomb fell into this islet of content —the convalescent wrath of a very pretty girl. Still very pretty in an elfin way, with infantile Curls beginning to crisp above a white brow, and faint roses to show in hollow cheeks. The sometime prize winner. grown up, had been mighty near death. She had overdone piteously after the manner of fresh youth, working by day in the art school, going the pace of Bohemia at night. Her dead father’s gift of artistry lay compellingly upon her; then, too, she resented her smug stepfather and the small brood which seemed to have crowded her out of her mother’s heart. The mother had remembered Aunt Spasia in this extremity—and sent Leslie to her without the formality of asking a welcome for her. Spasia, doubtful through a minute. In the next took the girl to her heart of hearts. It somehow warmed curiously. and the queer pain in it lulled. But habit held her dumb —she. could only stroke the fairy curls as she bade Leslie good.night—yet though she had long ceased praying, she knelt that night crying voicelessly: “Save her, Lord, save her!” Leslie was up very early—she had run through the dewy garden, with Dashdog at her heels, inspected the cows, and shamelessly let out broods of tiny, peeping chickens. She was so rosy and bright-eyed health seemed to have come back magically. But toward noon she fainted dead away—and next day and next stayed abed, claiming to be not ill but merely lazy. Half-way. the second morning she lay alone in the cold spare chamber opening from the porch, smiling a little and sighing more. At a vigorous knock, impatiently repeated, she called : “Come in ! Or out! Auntie, I think, is lost.” Entered a tall young fellow, brown and wholesome, good t£> look upon, bringing with him the outdoor world. “Why. you are Leslie!” he cried, coming close: “And you’ve grown up to your picture. I fell in love with it twelve years ago, and have been waiting for you ever since.” “Indeed!” said Leslie, meaning to speak saucily, but achieving only shakiness: “Why wasn’t I told of it? I might have taken more pains.” “Wasted them, - you mean,” the visitor retorted. ■ “I’m John —Doctor Manton’S John, they call me. I knew Saints’ Days in Europe. Long ago in the Old World nearly every day of each month was dedicated to some Saint, and these days were made the occasions of rejoicing and celebrating among the people. Ocober, like the other months of the year, has its sprinkling of saints’ days, which were faithfully observed in jlden times. The 9th of October is St. Denis day, when all of France paid respect to the memory, of the nation’s patron. St. Denis, or St. Dionysius, the older form of his name, was the first bishop of Paris and pne of the earliest missionaries in Gaul. The .good man was put to death by the cruel Valerian, but there is a miraculous story told about him to the effect, when he was decapitated, he picked up his head and carried it about two miles out of the city, when he became resigned to his fate, lay down with his head and they died together.

After one look John was calling frantically td his father: “Come—like lightning! Leslie may be dying." Followed ten perilous days throughout which the elder and younger Mantons haunted Aspasia’s house. Shoulder to shoulder .they fought for a girl’s life. And close beside them, tireless, sleepless, white-faced, but never quailing, fought poor Spasia, with no thought or care for herself, for anything but saving this creature of her own blood, upon whom she poured the wealth of her hoarded love. Love won its battle —though it was i touch and go. Jerry Dayton raved — i she had sprained her ankle, and after | dressing it, neither of the Doctors I .Manton had answered calls for their : presence. Young John indeed had i Said undiplomatically: “All you ne&l is to behave yourself and keep still. 1 Jerry; of course, if you drag around } the foot it will keep on hurting. We simply can’t spare time —father and I. We are—watching a desperate, almost j a hopeless case—but we’re going to I win by the Lord’s good help.” Other people were upset, but made j no outcry. The Mantons practiced for : the love of it, being well able not to think of money. The father Said | openly he was fighting for his son’s I happiness—John had really loved Les- | lie since that far-away time. She was not only beautiful but fine ami delicate to the core. Even in her wildest I delirium there had been nothing the , whole world might not have heard and There would be no court- : ship until she was fully herself— I strong and well as she had never been | before. j Thus the good man for his son. For ! himself there was another story. He ' told it to Spasia after they had car- i ried Leslie into the garden for the | first time. She was lovelier than ever in her fragile state —yet looking from her face to the older one, you saw the tie of race—lines proclaiming the one- • ness of blood and spirit. “The loveliest thing God ever I Spasia said under her breath, her eyes . . too humid for lifting. “Not quite,” said Doctor Manton. j “Because—here you stand. I’ve loved you twenty years—since John was a ; little fellow—but never dared tell you i —you seemed so remote. Now that I see what a heart you own I will not ! let you waste It a week longer. Love Leslie all you like —but love me as well.” , “I—l have loved you—always.” As- . pasia faltered, eyes still, downeast. , but hidden in Doctor Mantbn’s breast. [ GUIDED BY BIRTH RECORDS Archaeologists Able to Trace Historic Events Through Cognomens Bestowed on Infants. ■\Vhen an auspicious event occurred j before or about the time a baby whs i born, Babylonian parents were prompt- ■ ed to call him or her fay that name or j some cognomen similar to it. Arche- 1 ologists bless these parents; by means j of the children’s names in birth -rec* ords and on tombstones, they discover | historical evehts of which they have ■ had before no records. In like manner, clay documents of a ' certain period show that newborn children were being given, in large num- ■ bers, names alike, one or two names being the favorites. They were be- | ing called in honor of some king or some man who had accomplished much about the time they were born. Presto! the scholars look up to him! They may have to dig through thousands of tablets and spend over the task before they come across his j name or find material to reconstruct , his story. But eventually documents ' concerning him will be dug out of the earth. It is as though our United States were buried beneath the soil of countless centuries, and men began to dig for birth Registers. The number of George Washingtons they would find at one period and of Abraham Liecoins at another! One result of the war in Europe . was the naming of babies “Tankie” in England after the advent of the tanks. Surely, Babylonia’s dirt can yield no itiore eccentric name for us! Origin of “Poltroon.” A curious bit of history is hidden in . the word “poltroon,” now so common!y used to designate a coward. It started out in life as “pollice truncus," a Latin phrase meaning one who had been deprived of his thumb. In the i ancient days when bows were the lead- ' ing weapon of the soldier the thumb was a most essential part of the hand, for without it the archer could not hope to draw the bow with anything like good aim or exert his arm’s strength to pull back the powerful six- | foot bows. To avoid military sen-ice j many a man chopped off his own 1 thumb or got hi? wife to perform the act for him. In time yie man vtho did this bit of self-exemption became known as a “poll trun,” and the last change to its present usage is easily traced. the greatest event in the world. They were the foundations of the life and empire of ancient Greece and Rome, and made possible the triumph of Greece over Asia, and of Rome over the world. The Olympic games were first held -in 77G B. C. The name comes from the site on which they were held—Olympia in Ellis, not a city, but a small plain in the district of Pisatis, nearly surrounded by lo£jj| hills and bounded on the south by the River Alpheus. On this plain was the sacred grove, called Altis, supposed to have been laid out by Hercules.
