After she had torn up his photo- granh. and burned his letters, and sat- urated her last fresh handkerchief with tears, she arrived at the de- termination to live for others. And poor, lone- ly Aunt Jo was naturally the first person to receive her attention. For weeks, as she had daubed happily in her studio, she had heard a still small voice telling her that it was not right to have come to the city and leave Aunt Jo alone in that great, echoing farmhouse; now, though she could not give up her work and return to the farm, she could at least lay a plot which, if successful, would fill the dear old lady's life brim- ful of happiness and companionship; she could find some little slum waif for her to adopt! Of course diplomacy would have to be exercised. Aunt Jo was stubbornly averse to changes. And what story could be more pa- thetic than that of the home life of her washerwoman's youngest? Yes, little pale-faced, neglected, Jimmie Mulligan was the very child for the role! Mrs. Mulligan, a widow with nine children, overworked and dis- couraged trying to keep bread on the table, would be only too thankful to settle one of her brood sc comfort- ably in life. Indeed, she would let him go from her with a prayer of thanks. And so she did. Not one week after the conception of the plan, Celia and Jimmie were stepping from a train in Trellisville. A few moments later they were stepping from the vehicle befora Aunt Jo's door. “Auntie! Oh, Auntie!" she called, bursting open the front door. Speechless with surprise, Aunt Jo came down the stairs. When she caught sight of Jimmie, she stopped short. | “Spots!” she exclaimed, starting back. “It's measles!” Measles!” Celia echoed. *Oh, dear!" she wailed. “And I've done this awful thing! Don't you think 1 ‘can get him back home before he is really sick?” l A withering look from Aunt Jo suf- | ficed to silence her. “Dr. White—Yes, the new doctor— No, I don't know his number,” Celia heard her saying. In a short time she had taken Jimmie upstairs and put him to bed, and Celia was huddled miserably on the hatrack seat in the darkest corner of the hall. It was here that the young doctor found her crying when he came down from the sick room an hour later. “Why! What's this!” he exclaimed in surprise. “Well, how do you do?

Tearfully, Celia looked up into his kind eyes. “Is it really measles?” she snuffed. “I'm sorry to that it is.” Again she buried her head ting him completely, s woes. The young doctor sat down on the seat begide her. Kindly his hand feil on her arm, he echoed in a kind, puz- zled voice, “Come; tell me all about it! What do you mean?” Gratefully she poured her troubles into his sympathetic ear. It had seemed to her that no one in the world could ever feel swmpathetically toward her again—that all tho world, along with Aunt Jo, must be displeas- ed with her. “Wait,” he said. “Perhaps you have done good, after all. No sincere effort s ever wasted. She seemed pretty happy, up there, tucking the bed- clothes in about that little kiddie— she may grow so fond of him that you'll find you couldn’t have planned things better.” Day after day, she hovered in the lower hall to catch the young doctor as he came down from the sick room, and ask him eagerly for news. “Does she really seem fond of him?¥* she would inquire daily. “Do you think she’ll want to keep him?" Thea, one day, she had news for him. ‘“What do you think!" she cried. “Aunt Jo has asked me to write o Jimmie's mother to find out if she can keep him.” “Of course,” he sald. “Whatever you do must turn out well. I knew this would.” He stopped a moment, hesitated, then plunged on. “Of course I know there's no use in my saying what I'm going to say to you— I know your heart is broken—but I've got to say it, just the same: I love you and want you. Oh, little girl, couldn’t you stop living for others and live just for me?” Slowly a look of wonder dawned in her eyes. For a long, long, time she stood looking ur Then softly, breathlessly, she answered him “No, I could never stop living for others; it is too beautifui. I think my sent me just to teach me the beauty of it.

R e R S e “Amy said,” began the girl who, llkes to talk, “that Bob was gentle as | a kitten and so affectionate that in contrast a pair of love birds wera pet- rified images of heartlessness. She sald many other things, too, over the | telephone about the bull terrier that | in a misguided moment they pur- chased some time ago, but that was because she was trying to make me think I was crazy to have him while she and her husband went to Panama. “I was to pass a few days with her and get acquainted with the paragon of dogs. Amy said that she always felt perfectly safe with Bob in the apartment, becuase he would chew up any burglar who appeared. On the way over I grew rather worried, won- dering whether Bob was clever enough Every Cougzh S-atters TO STOP THI ~PREA allay the f.-i cou, Smoothing ta inflan. f eolds in the fami'~, s iy \ing o \ Lronchi.l tubes w..u | PINE-TAR-HONEY 1! also Inhibits furthes germ growth, Granny Metcalfe says— ‘Tt ain’t what you're goin’ to do, 1" what you_do d» that Cuuuts When you're auing, ' 28¢., 60c., $1.00.

Then 1 recalled Bob's gentleness and took heart. “When the front door was opened I thought the end had come. Some- thing huge and white fell across the hall table, and, stepping all over me, attempted to climb on my shoulder and perche there. I screamed faintly and wondered if the Pasteur treatment hurt much. Then I was conscious of Amy's voice. “‘He's so affectionate!” sald Amy in a proud voice. “I never knew him to take such an instant liking to any one before! He realizes that you love dogs, I am sure!"” “‘I'm crazy about them!' I assured her, as I intrenched myself behind two chairs and a davenport. ‘However, I don't care for these aerial effects my- self! Can't he keep his feet on the ground?' “Amy looked hurt, and sald she should have thought that I would ap- preciate a dumb animal's fondness for me. She was interrupted by Bob's glving an exhibition of his dumbness when he saw the postman out of the window. Dashing at the glass at a speed of 60 milos an hour, he let out a roar that shook the apartment. Then he turned and wagged his tail and twinkled his eyes. 1 think these dogs greatly enjoy life, It must be fine to feel that you can make the whole uni- verse bow to the ground and climb trees if you wriggle your chin or flop an ear. “I unpacked my suitcase neatly and then when I went to dress for dianer I found that Bob had eaten the heels off my evening slippers. “‘It's the funniest thing!' Amy said, enthusiastically, when I walled out the trouble. ‘That dog always has had the most insane fondness for shoe heels! We couldn't have a decent shoe In the house when we first got him. He is so intelligent!’ “When Bob was taken out of doors it was with as many precautions as though he were a man eating tiger. For my part 1 would as soon sally forth with the jungle beast as with that animal. He had a harness on of battleship leather—well, they have battleship linoleum, anyhow—and snapped to that was a leash with a loop to go over your wrist and then you had a whip. “I felt as though the band was go- ing to play as I entered the sawdust ring when T took Bob outdoors that day. He shot up the street instantly, and as it was slippery I hung on and slid, shrieking at him to stop. Pre- tending it was a game, that diabolical animal merely tore on, whisking me around a corner into a perambulator, but maybe I crawled under—anyhow, I was half a block ahead before the nurse had picked herself up from the ground, and Bob was so impetuous that I couldn’t return to inquire, “It might have been all right it he hadn’t seen a cat. Amy said after- ward reproachfully that I shouldn't have allowed him to see a cat. How- ever, she did not say whether I should have run in front of Bob and held my hands over his eyes or chlo- roformed him till the cat had strolled by. If I had fancied up to now that Bob had been hastening, I was mis- taken. He had been dawdling, but when he saw that cat he turned on full speed. “All I remember is hurtling through the air, hanging to the leash for dear life, for Amy had cautioned me that I had the safety of the public in my hands, and so I dared not let go. Bob spread himself low over the ground and just ate up the distance. We chased that cat down the street, then through an alley and then whizzed up the steps of a big house just as the front door opened and a perfectly love- ly man emerged attired for an after- noon wedding or a tea-fight. “T let Bob go then, because I fell over the top step. “The tea-fight man, after rising from where he had been tossed by Bob, picked me up. There were awful sounds of riot from inside the house where Bob had treed the cat en & mantel. It really was an unusual sit- uation. “‘He is such an intelligent dog,’ I stuttered. ‘And so affectionate!’ “The tea-fight man actually grinned. ‘I owned a terrier once myself!" he confided, understandingly. “Just then Bob dashed out and climbed into my lap with his muddy paws, just as though he was not something slightly less than a young hippopotamus. Laying his huge head on my shoulder, he sighed contented- ly as though he had had a very pleas ant afternoon, indeed. “Oh, yes, I'm going to take him while Amy is away.
