B — PHN3 600D LUCK By GEORGE MUNSON, [ | | l Phineas Kelly was accustomed to | Bee “a look in th’ old woman's eye,” as he phrased it, when he came home to j his tea after eight hours of peaceful | employment as a bricklayer. Years of practise had enabled him to interpret it accurately. It meant, “lie low, Phineas, for things have been at sixes | and sevens all day.” On such occasions Phineas, good, honest man that he was, would slip out quietly after tea to the corner saloon, where he would sit talking pol- itics and domestics with his cronfes over a glass or two, till the time came to retire home, strictly sober, and pre- pared to find that the odd and even numerals had straightened themselves out during his absence. . On this occasion there was an alto- ' gother different look in Mary's eye. ! “What is it, woman?” he exclaimed, | sensing that something quite different "trom anything in his experience had | happened. ‘Speak out, Mary, girl! Is it the measles? If Tim's got thim I'll whale the life out of him!” “No, it isn't!” snapped his better half. “Uncle Jim's dead and has left me all his money. The lawyer thinks it will come to five thousand dollars..”” While* Phineas sat, exhausted from emotion, in his chair, Mary read him the letter from Ireland. “What'll I do wid it?"” ejaculated her husband. “You're going to be a contractor, Phineas, as you have always wanted to be,” answered Mary. “And at the end of the month we leave.” Phineas uttered various exclama- tions, but he was as straw in his wife's hands. Before he went to bed it was understood that he and Mr. Hogan, with whom the subject had been i broached at times of day-dreaming, should go into the contracting busi- ness. Hogan had saved a tidy sum, and with this legacy their dreams could be realized. During the twenty- eight days remaining before June Phineas was to continue laying bricks. The days that followed were not of unalloyed bliss. Phineas wanted to re- main in the little flat, even if he was to be a contractor. But Mary had the “social bee” and she did not fail to im- press it upon her husband that, for Tim's sake, they must move to a lo- “Phineas! We Haven't Got Any Money | at AlL" cality more suited to their new sta- tion in life. And, as the days went by, | and the whole neighborhood fl,HHUHH’d: a more cordial friendship than ever| before, Phineas found that he was no, longer free of Rafferty’'s saloon. “We can't afford to be too friendly with that sort, Phineas,” explained his wife. “Flaherty and his wife are good | enough people, but Jjust common clay.” “We've shook dice together each Saturday night in years” pleaded Phineas. “And what about that Sun-| day picnie with them and the Hooll-| gans?”’ | “There won't be any picnic,” assev- erated Mary irritably. | Nevertheless Phineas did manage to meet his old friends by varlous sub- terfuges, and he carefully explained | the situation to them. “The best woman In the world, | Mike,” he told Flaherty. “But you' know how It is with women, Mike. The money's sort of turned her head.” | “That's all right, Phin” responded Mike Flaherty. “This one's on me.” | To the neighbors, indeed, it seemed | & natural thing that Mrs. Kelly should‘ want to rise in the world; and if there was a little envious gosesiping, the sight of the good woman, as she went down the street resplendent in her| | new gowns (purchased with the last of their saved money) turned envy to admiration. | Meanwhile Hogan and Kelly had er- | ranged their partnership. There was ' & fine opening in the town, and Hogan | was to put in a couple of thousand, ! supplementing his smaller contribution with { pull” The apartment was leased and the Kellys paring to leave | Mre.

He half expected the tartest of re- joinders; but, to his astonishment, his wife burst into tears and laid her head upon his shoulder. And Phineas found himself caressing her as he had not | done since Tim was a baby “Phineas,” she wept, “I feel so mean and hateful, the way I've treated the Flahertys and the Hooligans, after the friends we've been. It's for the boy's sake, Phineas, dear, isn't {t?” “Sure, that's all right,” answered | her husband. “They understand.” “Do you think they think I think | they aren't good enough for us?” in- quired his wife, raising her face, wet with tears. “I guess they think they'd do as much if they were in your place, Mary,” he answered. “For half a pin,” said Mary, “I'd stay right on here for old times’ sake, and —and {invite the Hooligans and Fla- hertys to the picnic after all. But—" she sighed—"It's for Tim's sake, isn’t ' it?” “Sure,” answered her of his old friends and those merry eve- nings at Rafferty’s. But three days remained when the post brought a letter from the lawyers in Ireland. Phineas brought it duti- fully to his wife. She opened it and gave a scream. “Phineas! We haven't got any mon- ey ut’nll!" she gasped. Phineas Kelly, with a mixed feeling of joy and sadness, took up the mis- sive and spelled it out: “We beg to inform you,” he read, “that an error was made in stating that the estate of your late uncle, Mr. James Smylie, was likely to be proved at five thousand dollars. The total amount of the estate is seventeen thousand, all of which goes to you un- der the will, and—" “Seventeen thousand!” cried Mary Kelly, springing from her chair and grasping the letter from her husband's hand. “Phineas! It's true! Listen! ‘And a check for this amount will be forwarded in a few days to you.” Suddenly the excited woman began to execute a pas seul before her hus. band's eyes. “Mary!"” he exclaimed, “you'll be too tired to pack if you—" “But we're not moving, Phineas! We're going to stay right on here.” “But wo've got seventeen thousand, woman!” he cried. “That's why, Phineas,” she an- swered. “With five thousand we could never be sure that the neighbors really looked up to us, but with seventeen thousand we know. We can afford to now. See?” Phineas saw. He saw a welcome corner in Rafferty’s and the familiar taces of his old friends smiling out of a cloud of tobacco smoke. And the kiss he gave Mary drove away the “look” forever. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) REAL INVENTOR OF SEXTANT Thomas Godfrey of Philadelphia Is the Man to Whom the HonoreProp- erly Belongs. One of the earllest of America’s “golf-made” men was Thomas God- frey, who invented the sextant. God- frey, born in 1704, was & humble gla- zier, but a man of intellectual force. John Hadley also Invented a sex- tant, evidently carrying out a Bug- gestion of Newton which was found in Sir Isaac's original draft among Hadley's papers after hig death. Godfrey antedated Hadley by about one year, but for a long time his claims were not recognized, and Had-} ley received all the credit, How the humble glazier received his first Inspiration to design the instru- ment of so great use to mariners is an interesting story. One day, while replacing a pane of glass in a window of a house on the north side of Arch street, in Philadel- phia, opposite a pump, a girl, after filling her pail, placed it upon the sidewalk, Godfrey, on turning toward it, saw | the sun reflected from the window on which he had been at work Into | the bucket of water, and his philo-| sophic mind selzing upon the incldent was thus led to combine the plan of an instrument by which he could draw the sun down to the horizon by a contrivance incomparably superior to any that had ever before been used for the purpose of ascertaining angu- lar measurements. Test of Character, But responsibility is the great char- acter-developer, and very few of us really know what we can do until we are put to the test. The market 18 long on men who can take orders, but short on those who can intelligently issue them. Responsibility requires a certain amount of initiative; the willingness to act when occasion de- mands and the courage to fail un- der honest effort and take the conse- quences, Of course you may fall; but you can't tell whether you will succeed until you try; and having tried to the ! utmost of your abllity and falled, 18 better than never to have tried at all. Better because in every loss there is the compensation of experk ence, while mere inaction means men- tal and physical stagnation, the dam and sire of annihilation.—Leslle's.
