The great audience hall was crowd- ed to suffocation, the stage was a brilliant glow of color and life. A beautiful young girl had just emrap- tured her listeners with a violin solo that seemed to sweep the respon- sive strings of every heart. It was the annual graduation day of a leading conservatory of music. As the solo closed, the thunders of ap- plause told that the fair violinist, Miss Orthello Blain, had won the honors of the day.

There was humid joy- ousness in her radiant eyes. Then there came one gratified flash .of ‘ pride as she glanced at a corner of the room where a man, tall, spare, in- | tellectual looking, sat beside a wom- } an, his sister. They were Adrian and Mary Worth. “Oh, brother!” quavered the wom- an, her face a thrill of rare delight— “it was rapturous.” every expecta- tion,” murmured Adrian Worth, and his tones were husky with emotion, »d moment—after all the Two manly young fellows hovered about the flushed, excited beauty as sensitive A pang shot throvgh the | heart of Adrian Worth at the sight of them.

Mary Worth had opened her house to the young friends of her petted ward, Adrian Worth did not appear in the festivities. While the function was at its climax he was seated in his study, lost in reverie, The shadows as well as the sun- shine in the life of beautiful Orthello drifted through his mind, forming . a strange composite picture. Eighteen years previous, when he was a youth of fifteen, he had found one stormy wintry night on the door step of the house of which his elder sister, Mary, was the mistress, a bas- ket containing a tiny little child. A note gave to the abandoned child the quaint name Orthello. It en- | closed a wedding ring bearing Initials and a few words to the effect that the mother, widowed, homeless, prayed for tender care for the little one while | she went to the hospital to die. ! Kind-hearted Miss Worth had heed- ed the pleadings of Adrian to adopt the tiny wayfarer. Orthello had be- come the passion of his life. As she grew in brightness and beauty his | whole thoughts became centered upon | her. Her joyful childhood had been rradiated by his self sacrifice and 1n- dulgence. When he became a college profes- sor, the aim of his life was to provide for her education. Music seemed born within her. That day she had won | the high laurels made possible by hia devotion to her interests, The door opened aud the shaded | lamp cast a flitting reflection across the floor.

G. Chapman.) NO SAKE, YET MUCH MOISTURE Incident of Summer’s Drought in Japan Which the Priests Have Not Yet Explained. How love and religion collided dur ing this summer's drought in Japan is told in a Tokyo publication, the Far East: *“In Hooki province there is a large pond which is regarded as one of the most famous places in Japan at which to pray for rain. The suppli- cants are obliged to arm themselves | with sake casks which they must | bring from their homes, and the casks must be offered to Daisenji, the tem- | ple near the pond. Of course the | priests do not object at all to this cus- | tom, but rather welcome the drought, since they always take half of the | sake and pour the remainder into the pond as libation to the rain god. Then | the villagers refili their casks with water from the pond and return home But they must be particularly careful that they do not rest by the wayside; ! for to aliow the cask o touch the ground would be a catastrophe, since the rain would fall in that spot alone When they return to their viilages they share the contents of the casks with their neighbors, who pour the | water from the pond over their rice | fields. “But after one of these pilgrimages recently the rain gods withheld the gentle dew from heaven and the vil- lagers searching for a reason vented their resentment against a young man and woman who had formed part of the party. They were lovers and the gods were supposed to be outraged by their presence. sn they were banished from the village for a time. The girl, however, never forgot the insult and | planed a revenge “She emptied the sake from the casks and filled them with water. The ! villagers repaired as was their cys. tom to pray for rain. This time the priests were minus their usual cause for rejoicing, and, strange to say, the rain god was generous and soon after- ward granted rain to a grateful earth.” | Too M “What's t “I'm up o “As to how?” “My liver ‘~ctor =¥pressly orders me to eat sugur, and my stomach spe- cialist positively forbids it.” ny Specialists. buble, old man?” t it for fair.” OF LAKELAND (S TP " ,{éfiz ; R S R A . % oing Jo Buitd SPECIFY GCOD HARDWARE One of the most imporiant details in the planning of your new house is the selection of the hardware.
