T e ENING TELEGRAM, LAKEL ’mzm DAUGHTER LUCIA By JESSICA CARBARY. / The man was hurrying to the sub- way, when a child's voice called: 1 “Daddy! Daddy!" He turned at the second call, but he was in haste, and had not time { to heed the voice that was so like | that of his baby. All the way down town the voice kept ringing in his ears, and during the day he continued to hear it, s0 that at three o'clock he left the office and came untown in the hope of see- Imd been divoree 1 two | » and he ha baby, since, tho : his wile, had wor ' Dol was vnipty, save for the 't scen | made any more. Clark live ! wwered. “That Miss Lucia, 1 just was her hlllu pirl, took up.” “Thank you." And he hurricd out. For three days he pondered the situation; he had agreed to leave the child entircly to his wife, but now after two years he longed for her as he had never thought he could for anything. . The next day he called, to be told that Miss Lucia was out. The succerding day he called a half hour later, to be told the same thing. As he had now no intetion of giving up his quest, he continued to call each day at the same hour. On the tenth day Miss Lucia was at home, He was chown into the library. Down on her stomach in front of the fire he found Lucia. The soft glow of the fire shone on the little figure, turning the yellow curls to gold. He watched her while she talked to a Teddy bear. “I wonder, Teddy, why we don't find father? Mother's all right, but little girls need fathers.” The man with tears in his eyes was kneeling when she turned and saw him, and with a glad cry she came to him. For several hours he held her tight, an exquisite joy thrilling him, and though the door opened and closed twice, he never noticed it. When he left he promised her to come again next day. That night & very happy little girl asked her mother for a story about her father, but the mother, on the plea of being very tired, refused. After the child had gone to bed Mrs. Clark sat for a long time trying to de- cide what to do regarding the father whom she never wanted her child to know. At last she decided that it she allowed Lucia to do as she desired perhaps the natural perverseness of human nature would assert itself, and Lucia would not care for him at all. “Don't you love mother now?’ she asked one day. And when he didn’t reply, she put her little hand on his face to find the cheek wet. She didn't ask any more questions, only murmured: “Daddy, I love you.” She was quite hearbroken when he told her he must go away for a couple | of weeks, | " 1lo was gone much longer than he ! expected to be, and it was the week | before Christmas when he returned. | He found Lucia in the same position | as the first time. ‘ “Baby, dear,” he said as he lifted | her tp. | They sat quietly that Mrs. Clark, e s ' coming into the room, was halfway | across before she observed them. As she turned to leave he looked up and ticir eyes met, A convulsive elasp of the body made the child look at Lim. “Iuther, when are you coming home for o He started and laughed then he took the brizht little face in his two hands, and looked at it in- tently.

Clare had looked kindly at him. “Father!” Two small arms were around his neck and a dear little face close to his. “My father dear!” the voice was very low, “mother says you may come home whenever you want baby girl,” he sald, but whenever mother will let harshly; | 1 1o, true. noticed that she had | D, FL. e s [{UST BE SIMPI.ICITY| THAT IS THE ORDER FOR THE ' WINDOW DRAPERY.
