By GEORGE ELMER COBB. Daniel Forsythe considered himself one of the most fortunate men in the world when he became a partrer with Roger Bell. He was getting old, his new business cares would be light, and Bell was a money maker. Besides that, young Denzil Bell and Lucia Forsythe were engaged. It was true that young Bell was by pno means the man the old business veteran would generally have select od for a son-in-law. The scion of the Bells was idle, without ambition, fickle and a spendthrift, As to Lucia, she had failed to find one ideal among the fashionable young men with whom she was brought in contact in the so- clal swim. She had arrived at a mar-, riageable age, however, and the princi-' pal gnxiety of her father was to see her “settle down,” as he expressed it. She sighed a trifle, and then in her great love for her father she decided to make a sacrifice of herself. Then, rudely, unexpectedly, came the darkest day in the life of old Dan- fel Forsythe. With a crash the great house of Bell, Forsythe & Co. went down in ruin. All of the Forsythe for- tune was involved. The Bells, how- ever, were notorious for having ever “an anchor to windward.” When the | creditors were settled with the Bells | flew as high as ever. Mrs. Bell had & fortune of her own, and on that the family could drift along very pleas- antly. The first thing shallow, mean- ! spirited Denzil Bell did was to break the engagement with Lucia. She had ' expected it, and was devoutly glad that it had come about. “We are paupers!” mourned her | father. “And now the engagement i8 broken. It crushes me to think of you, Lucia. I had so counted on your | trip abroad to finish up your art and | music. Now—" “Now, dear papa,” cried Lucia, al-| most joyously, “I am free to have my own way, to really live, to be of some “1t Crushes Me to Think of You, Luclal” actual use in the world. Yes, art and music are very dear to me, but thanks to your great goodness, I know a good deal worth knowing of both. I am go- ing to try to share those treasures, to fmpart my knowledge to the world at large.” “Even if the crash had not come,” declared her father, “it would not bave meant much to me, for 1 am gradually breaking down in health.” { from such a man, | could not say him nay. some of their drawings. I am really proud of them, and thcre is not one of my music scholars who would not give up a whole holiday to practice on the piano.” The Mr. Page she had alluded to had come into Lucia’s life quite prom- inently of late. He had charge of & school supported by the manufactur- ing plants at the edge of the town. The work was purely philanthropic. It was profound admiration for the way in which he had won the interest and love of his poor pupils, that had caused Lucia herself to long to be of assistance in co-operating to raise the social and educational gtatus of the forlorn little ones. Lucla would never forget to her dying day one golden afternoon when she was strolling by the riverside with Harold Page, discussing new plans for the benefit of their mutual work. Suddenly Harold had sprung from. her side. Then she saw that a little girl playing in a boat tied to the shore near the mill dam had fall- en into the water. Just in time Mr. Page made a plunge that rescued the imperiled child from sure death. The little one was more frighténed than hurt. When Page carried her to a grassy plot, Lucia sat down to care for the weeping child, and her rescuer hovered near by to soothe her with gentle words. “Oh, dear Mr. Page! You was so good, so grand to jump in and get all wet and mussed up, just for a bad, naughty little girl!" She was so grateful, so happy, that she seized his hand. She drew it close to that of Lucia, and kissed them both, and held them there so close together that Lucia blushed and Page looked embarrassed. It awoke Lucia to a quick comprehension of the fact that she had found her ideal at last. It nerved Mr. Page to speak out what had been in his heart for some time. “Miss Forsythe, he said, as they walked slowly homeward, ‘“anybody would be pardoned for the common belief that you are a princess in dis- guise, and really I was led to believe that you were the great heiress they sald. But I have learned that your work here is real soul labor. I have something more in worldly wealth than my humble but glad position here would seem to indicate. Let me share it with you.” And on such a dreamy, mellow eve- ning, and with such earnest words Lucia Forsythe (Copyright, 1913, by W, G. Chapman.) NOBLE INDIANS STILL LIVE Homeless Tribe in the Floridas Rer fuses to Accept Favors From the Government. It is difficult to realize that this homeless fragment of a people still retains, after nearly two centuries of disaster, the traditional pride which distinguished the caciques of the early Floridas, says the Christian Her ald. They ask nothing from the United States government, would ac- cept nothing, indeed unless tactfully offered as their righteous due, and through the men who have won their confidence, or through others aligning with these. The gauntest straggler who drops in at the mission store in times of bad hunting and deluged crops will hardly admit that the Ia- dians are needy. “Injun no hungry now,” he will answer to your hospita- ble question throwing back his proud, melancholy head as if gazing into that remote past with which—who knows? —he may be mentally contrasting the present moment. They ask for nothing except by way of purchase and it would be unpre- cedented for a Seminole to “jump his account.” It is not difficult to gee why the mission needed the store. Besides the advantage of location and the clos- er contact with the Indians in general, the mission can also, through this agency, help the Indians in general, without seeming to dispense charity. Dr. Golden has steadily kept the prices of skins and furs up and of provisions down. The store is thus run at some “Nonsense!" cheered his hopefu) | loss in dollars and cents, but of great daughter. “A month up among the | gain in the efficiency and scope of the pines with Aunt Carrie will soon drive | mission’s relief work. away all such megrims.
