A sign nailed up on the fence post read; “‘Z. Nay- lor, Sh \wym adit “In his Ehint t apron, the cobbler tne 1o the door. lor's?" inquired the young I and with pleasdnt- | 1 noidded the old man.

He clutched the door post con- | vulsively, Then lie bent his head in| l: et way like a person dealt u| 4 blow. “I know witl m\L your telling ine,” he spoke sorrowf “John Andrews has found me out again. It's the old worry and persecution over again, | suppose.” “You are mistaken, Mr, Naylor,” dissented Ernest brightly. “I know all about John Andrews, but I came ' not to bring you trouble, but good news." “Break it gently then, friend, for lm not used to it,” replied Naylor,; pathetically, the ghost of a smile on his wan features. “It is this,” explained Brill: “A good many years ago you were in- terested in a buriness concern that failed. After nearly a decade in litl- gation a distribution has been or- | dered to the craditors. They consist mostly of parcels of real estate. You have been apportioned a little farm of forty acres over in the next county. I visited it on my way here. It is no great thing, but your children will greet it as a paradise and you will find rest and comfort after your hard, hard life.” The old man stood swaying to and fro. His haggard face expressed in- credulity. Suddenly he sank to the doorstep, bowed his head in his hands WT'?\;~ Clutched the Doorpost Convulsively. and sobbed out his overpowering emotions. When he looked up it was with three words: “And John Andrews?” “My friend,” spoke PBrill, placing ia gentle hand upon the shoulder of his host, “I have lecome deeply in- terested in your casc. You are known to many a law firm as ‘The Migratory Debtor, We of the bar kncw fully what that means. Years ago you owed John Andrews some five hun- dred dollars. You incurred his enmity. Since that time he has kept the orig- inal judgments alive. In his mean malice he has hunted you from place to place. If you get work, he put his claim in legal hands and gets you out of it. Twice he has sold out your few poor household holdings. The duty of our firm ends in handing you the papers giving you possession of the farm, but I can surmise that this leech, this miser, Andrews, will soon find you out.” “He surely will!"” groaned Naylor. “I propose, therefore, that you make out an agreement in your name to hold the farm subject to his claim, to be paid off in small monthly instal- ments. 1 will take it to him and in- tercede for the respite.” “But if he refuses?” “I will guarantee the payments my- | selt.” “You are a good man, and surely heaven will bless you!” All the way on his return journey Ernes: Prill recalled those words of grateful benison. His earnest soul had been roused by the misfortunes { of the old man he had befriended. It | was just at dusk when he reached |Elsd0v‘ From here he took the trol- | 1ey for Hartville, the little city where he knew John Andrews lived. The car was filled with a gay chat- tering group of youung people bent on a theater party at Hartville. There was only one vacant seat. That was | erowd were She presented a vlvld contrast In her plain but scrupulously clean dress to the fashionably attired misses about her. As he lifted his hat and sat down beside the young lady he heard the tittering, sneering words: “Little Miss Dimity!” The girl heard it, too, flushed a trifle and then paid no farther attens tion to it. Ernest did not feel war- vanted in addressing her. He could not help but notice, however, the neatly mended gloves his seat mate wore, the somew!at shabby handbag in her lap. Suddenly there was a jar, the car stopped. Inside of five min- mus those aboard knew that a wreck 1 block the route for at wurs, with no station wres of the fashionable n manifested in loud comj I.m e of the trai ., The demure iified girl in the dim- ity l]u ss took in lm delay and incon- venience like the little lady that she X Somehow a conve n began 1 between them. Then Ernest brought her a drink of water from a near ', farmhouse. _ It was nearly midnight when they reached Hartville. He se- cured a cab at her request. They | parted, but with a queer longing at, his heart Ernest Brill realized that iti would be many a day before he \\ould’ forget “Little Miss Dimity.” i He recalled with a vivid m(-moryj the sweet, sympathetic face of the im-| pressible young girl when she llalt‘ll\'d' 1 to the story of old Mr. Naylor “hlchx had drifted into their casual conver sation. It was ten o'clock the next morning when Ernest reached the An- drews home. “Mr. Andrews—Mr. John Andrews,” he spoke to the servant who answered his summons at the door. “Why, sir, have you not heard?" asked the servant with a strange stare,” Mr. Andrews died last week.” “You startle me,” exclaimed Ernest, quite shocked at the unexpected intel ligence. “It was on business that 1 came. Can you direct me to those in charge of his estate?”’ “Yes, sir. Mr. Mallory, his lawyer, s in the library with Miss Nelson. She is a distant relative Mr. Andrewa left his estate to, sir.” “Please take in my card.” “This way, sir,” spoke the servant a moment later, and Ernest was usher ed into the presence of a dignified looking gentleman and—Little Misa Dimity!"” He stood somewhat dumbfounded He recalled his conversation with the welcoming young lady before him with some misgivings. Then he regained his self-composure. “I have come to offer this agree ment in behalf of Mr. Naylor,” he said, ‘“but, as I have told you all about it a further explanation is not necessary. I will guarantee the payments named in the document.” Miss Ada Nelson accepted the paper. She glanced at the lawyer. He nodded as if from some prearranged under standing. Miss Nelson placed the pa per in the blazing grate, where it was consumed to ashes. “You are a noble man,” sald Miss Nelson, extending her hand impetu: ously. “We must cast the veil of charity over the harsh judgment of my dead uncla. Let me help you in making still more secure and happy the worthy man you so generously be friended.” And, their young, glowing hearts in unison with human sympathy, soon merged into the deeper ecstacy of mw tual love.

Icelandic settlers have played small part in the progress and pros perity of the province of Manitoba, Canada, and it is claimed that the story of the foreign population of Win- nipeg must necessarily begin with the Icelander. He has set the pace for all the incoming races. He is the illus- tration par excellence of how a people of ambition and industry can master difficulties, triumph over prejudice, and attain their desired place in the commercial, the political, the intel- lectual and social life of a hustling and growing city in a strange land. In Winnipeg there are Icelanders worth from $100,000 to $500,000. Stepping outside the city, it is not unusual to find Icelanders with farms of 1,000 acres, all of which they have earned in thie country, for few of them pos- sessed $100 when they arrived. The log cabins of the first settlers have given way to neat and comfortable frame dwellings, and the farming ts carried on with the most advanced type of implements. Youth, Arthur T. Hadley, president of Yale, said of youth at a tea in New Haven: “I find youth modest, almost over~ modest. I don't agree with the ao cepted idea of youth that is epitomr ized in the anecdote, “Acording to this anecdote, an old man said to a youth: “‘My boy, when I was your nge I thought, like you, that I knéw it all, but now I have reached the conclusion that I know nothing.’ “The youth, lighting a cigarette, an- swered carelessly: “‘Hm! I reached that conclusion about you years ago.
