He was on the third floor. He seemed to look down through a haze of dusty pale green light to the entrance hall. A woman stood there. She had a key in her hand, and even from that distance he could see that she was pale and careworn. “Bring the little trunk in here,” he heard her say, suddenly and clearly, to some one outside; “you can leave it in the hall.” She opened a small pocketbook and took out a coin. He saw a big hand reach out to grasp it; then the door closed, and the girl sat down on the little trunk and drew a long breath of relief. Kendal stood, irresolute. He turn- ed back into his own barren room, “I don't care,” he murmured. He returned repeatedly to the top of the steps, however, and watched the girl drag her trunk into what had once been a parlor. He could | things with him.” “What a perfectly lovely idea,” she agreed. “T'l run Y Mre. Hiagin right over and tell Mrs. Blunt was a motherly old soul. §M was radiant over the adventure.

So you see how important it all is. “Let me look at the silk,” said Kendal, unexpectedly. Grace opened the parcel. “Make it as quaint as possible,” Kendal advised. He took out his pen- cil and on a bit of wrapping paper sketched an outline. “You see, it must be ankle length, with a puffing around the bottom, and she must wear a lilac chiffon scarf around her shoulders and a wide hat with lilacs and roses.” “How daring!” Grace exclaimed. “But how perfectly beautiful!” In that moment Kendal came into his own. “If I can’'t paint pictures, I can design costumes,” he decided. I've staked my reputation ' (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspa- per Syndicate.) ! Crawford was flatly discouraged. As he mounted the steps leading to his boarding house he realized that he had Jost the small model of his patent. However, since the thing was not worth financing and putting on the market, Crawford didn't care what happened to it. He had banked rather | heavily on the outcome of his visit to the financier, but his dreams of sud-! den and vast wealth brought about by & startling demand for his patent egg boller had vanished into the past, even um-mmdtmm;mm‘ the subway. And Polly Woodward, returning from a hard day in the office of her employer, picked up the small pack- age that had been left in the seat into which her tired body sank. | She was far too weary to ponder on the exact nature of the thing she had found, but knew it to be something for kitchen use. It might be a baby feeder or even a grill of some kind. For the present she closed her eyes— they were strangely luminous—and % robbed the gentleman opposite of the pleasure of watching them. He, also a tired toiler of Wall street, had been resting his own eyes unobservedly on ' the beauty of the weary little worker. { John Galsworth was more than ever regretful that so many women were forced to enter the field of labor. When Polly Woodward had finished | ;her evening meal she sat down with the patent and studied it minutely. “An egg boiler,” she mused. “I won- “der it it's any good or just like the thousands of other egg boilers.” Curi- | osity got the better of her and she Okeechobee Farms Will yi ig crops of corn, cane, cowpeas, velvet beans, rape, peanuts, kudsu, spineless Rhodes, Para, Natal and other grasses for hay and pasture.

She had put a bright cretonne cover on the old couch and a crimson cushion in a broken-down easy chair. On a crack- ed marbletopped table was her housekeeping outfit—a small hmss’ kettle, two blue cups and two blue plates. There were two solid-silver spoons, aleo, and Kendal smiled ruefully as be looked at them. “If 1 were a bur- glar, instead of a poverty-stricken artist, she migit have her troubles about that silver,” ae said. e emelled the delicious fragrance of coffes ai noon, and sighed for a taste of it as he finished the loaf and the cheese ahd washed them | down with a drink of water. He made up his mind that he must | let the girl know that he was in the . house. She might hear him and be trightened. The next time that she went out, he waited for her on the front steps. She stiffened as he spoke to her. “Please let me pass,” she sald hur- riedly. “You must let me explain,” he in- sisted, and she stcpped. “I "m @& tenant in the house. At lesst” he amended, “I simpiy walked in and took possession. The property be- longs to my grandfather's estate—it s in Mtigation, and remeins empty ffom year to year. I am dreadtully down on my luck—I'm a painter of pictures, and the wor'd doesn’t seem to want my work—and so I'm l'virg rent free.” “Why, 1 am, too” she gasped, “only 1 haven’t the excuse of It belng my grandfather's house.

Good manners, while costing little, accomplish much. They may perhaps be among the “Iittle things,” but who vlllnotummtnhmtmm bring sutomobiles and carriages to the door of the shabby house. “We're getting a big business,” Grace would say, gleefully, and Ken- dal found his heart beating at the intimacy of the pronoun. Mrs. Blunt, scenting romance, smiled over her embroidery. She had two peacock’s feathers to finish on a dull green satin gown, and she was tired, but she felt refreshed and helped by the sight of the happiness on the two young faces. “They're just made for each other,” she concluded “if they’ll only find u! out.” And they did find it out, and the day came when thye packed their be- longings and left Mrs. Blunt in charge of the big house and salled away to Italy, where Kendal painted pictures to his heart's content, and where Grace wore some of the gowns which she and her lover had designed for others. For the grandfather's estate was settled suddenly, and Ken- dal's share was big enough to make marriage possible; and who else should he marry but the little lady of his heart? PHRASES THAT HAVE LIVED Foolish Sayings Unaccountably En- dowed With a Most Remark- able Vitality. Or was “Who Kissed Henrletta?” only one of many queer street cries that are spoken and heard for a sea- son? Who first shouted: “Ah the: expectant of the answer: “Say there!”? In London the foolish cry: “How's your poor feet?” was long in fashion. It was first heard, they say, about 1862. When Henry Irving re- vived “The Dead Heart,” in 1890, some one wrote: “When the play was brought out originally, where one of the characters says: ‘My heart fis dead, dead, dead!" a voice from the { gallery nearly broke up the drama with: ‘How are your poor feet?” The phrase lived” Now *“The Dea Heart” was first produced at the Adel- phi, London, in 1869, so the phrase must have been heard before 1862 it this story be true. Precision in such cases is suspiclous.

Others say: “How's your poor feet? dates from the ex- hibition of 1851. Or take the Parislan cry: “Ohe Lambert! As-tu vu Lambert?” The wise men will tell you that on August 15, 1864, a woman from the country, arriving for the Napoleon festival, lost her husband Lambert at the rallway station and went about Paris bawling for him.

The indicator on the egg boiler snapped and Polly removed the egg, only to find it half boiled. She sighed disappointingly. The patent had sesmed so promising, yet it failed be- cause of the indicator. “Surely it could be quite easily ad- justed,” she pondered while she { cleaned the model and dried it care- + fully. ‘When a week had passed and no one had advertised for the model Polly | became impatient. She had perfected the boiler until it worked like a charm, and it irritated her to realize that the | inventor was so lacking in interest as to put forward no claim for his patent. It was Polly herselt who finally ad- vertised for the person who had left a small package on the subway contain- ! ing an invention. Crawford, from whom the shades of gloom were gradually lifting, hap- pened to see the advertisement and went forthwith in search of his lost property. “You can make stacks of money out of that,” she told him when she had drawn him into the cosy sitting room. “It only required a simple bit of regu- lating. You won't mind my showing you, will you?" ' Crawford listened attentively to her curiously intelligent explanation of his error. “By Jove! My head is solid ivory— ! not to have seen that,” he said with a splendid dash of color in his cheeks and sparkle to his eyes. % | “There is a Mr, John Galsworth in our office building,” Polly began hesi- tatingly, “I feel sure he would be in- terested if—" “You are taking far too much trouble,” interrupted Crawford. “If you will agree to take half the profits I ! will be glad to get the thing off my mind. The thing was useless without | your improvement.” . When he wus gone Polly skipped out | to the telephone in the corner chem- ists and made an appointment with { John Galsworth. The big financier received her the following day in his luxurious office. ! His philanthropy was well known. iPolly approached him with no fear | and put her model before him. Galsworth remembered having rest- ed tired eyes on her beauty one eve- ning in the subway. Her magnetism, together with the undoubted value of the egg boiler which she demonstrated to him, quite worked the charm. When Polly returned to her office, after a most happy lunch hour spent with Crawford, she rejoiced for the | second time that she had worn ber new blouse. John Galsworth had tele- phoned her. He wanted her to have dinner with him if she was not tired of talking business. There was much to be discussed about the egg boiler. And If at dinner there were red roses on the table for Polly, and roses in Polly’s cheeks for Galsworth and only a short talk on the subject of no one minded overmuch. The evening passed with wonderful promise of happiness in its trall, for Polly and Galsworth bad found one another. Crawford went up that evening to the home of the sweetheart who had been waiting impatiently to hear the news of the egg boiler. But all Craw- ford did was to take her into his arm s.

She was the mother of one of their neighbors and 80 they stopped their car for a mo- ment to chat. “There is nothing to be alarmed about now,” said Mrs. Smith, “but for a while little Willie gave us a great scare,” Little Willie was the old iady's grandson, and she was promptly deep- ly interested. Mrs. Smith explained that Willie had frightened his parents by swallowing a dime. The doctor was summoned and after a while the worriment was over and Willle was out of danger. After the Smiths went on, Willie's grandmother called up her daughter on the telephone and sald, “I hope ‘Willle is all over bis financial difficul- How Bookworms Are Tracked.
