C. Joy of the Washington Forest Fire association. Ig hae been pointed out thas out Of nearly 40,000 flights during the first year of evil flying in England, there was but one fatal accident. and once he had written to the editor of & magasine that “Junie’s Love Toat,” by Mise Libbey, had been the book that had most influenced his life, During his walk @ violent chatter. ing of teeth In a glans case on the sidewalk seemed at first to’ draw hin attention (with @ qualm), to a restau rant before which It was set; but a second glance revealed the electric letters of @ dentist's sign high above the next doar, A giant negro, fan tastioally dreesei in @ red embroid ered coat, yellow trousers and a mili tary cap, discreetly distributed cards to those of the passing crowd who consented to take them, This mode of dentistic was & common sight to Rudolf. Usu. ally he passed the dispenser of the dentist's cards without reducing his | store; but tonight the African slipped one into his hand so deftly that he retained it there, amiling @ lite at the successful feat. When he had traveled a few yards further he glanced at the card in differently. Surprised, he turned it lover and looked again with interest. [One side of the card was blank; on the other was written in ink three words, “The Green Door.” And then Rudolf saw, three stepa in front of him, a man throw down the card the negro had given him as he passed. Rudolf picked it up. It was printed with the dentist's name and address and the usual schedule of “plate work” and “bridge work” and “orowns,” and specious promises of “painless” operations, The adventurous plano saleeman [halted the corner and conaidered. |Then he crossed the street, walked jdown a block, recrossed and joined the upward current of people again the building in which he conceived that his adventure must Iie, Five stories high it rose, A small restau rant occupied the basement. The first floor, now closed, seemed to houge millinery or furs, The seo ond floor, by the winking électric letters, waa the dentist's. Above this a polyglot babel of signa strum gled to indicate the abodes of palm | ints, dresamakers, musicians and doc tors, Still higher up draped curtains and milk bottles white on the win dow sills proclaimed the regions of domesticity, After concluding his survey Rudolf walked briskly up the high flight of stone steps into the house. Up two flights of the carpeted stairway he continued; and at ite top paused. ‘The hallway there waa dimly lighted by two pale jets of gas—one far to his right, the other nearer, to hiv left. He looked toward the nearer light and saw, within its wan halo, a green door, For one moment he henitated; then he seemed to sce the contumelious sneer of the African juggler of cards; and then he walked straight to the green door and knocked agalnat it. Moments like those that paaned be fore his knock was answered meas- ure the quick breath of true adven, ture What might not be behind those green panels! Gamesters at play; cunning rogues baiting their traps with subtle skill; beauty in jove with courage, and thus planning to be sought by it; danger, death, love, disappointment, ridicule — any of theee might respond to that temer: arious rap. A faint rustic was heard inaide, and the door slowly opened. A gir! not yet 20 stood there, white-faced and tottering, he loosed the knob and swayed weakly, groping with Without seeming to notice the negro as he passed the second time, he carclessty took the card that wae |handed him. Ten steps away he In- | spected it, In the same handwriting | that appeared on the first card, “The Green Door” was inscribed upon it. ‘Three or four cards were tossed to the pavement by pedestrians both following and leading him. These fell blank side up. Rudolf turned them over. Every one bore the | printed legend of the dental “par | lore.” Rarely 4i4 the arch sprite Adven- ture need to beckon twice to Rudolf Steiner, his true follower, But twice it had been dona, and the quest was on, Rudott walked slowty back to where the giant negro stood by the case of rattling teeth. This time as Ihe passed he received no card. In |epite of hin gaudy and ridiculous \garb, the Ethiopian displayed a nat ural barbaric dignity as he stood. of fering the cards suavely to some, allowing others to pasa unmolested. Every half minute Ke chanted a |harsh, unintelligible phrase akin to |the jabber of car conductors and grand opera. And not only did he withhold a card this time, but it seemed to Rudolf that he received from the shining and maasive black countenance @ look of cold, almost contemptuous disdain. ‘The look stung the a@venturer. He read tn it @ silent accusation that he had been found wanting. Whatever | the mysterious written words on cards might mean, the black bad felected him twice from the throng for their recipient; and now seemed to have condemned bim as deficient im the wit and spirit to engage the enigma. Standing aside from the rush, the young man made a rapid estimate of ‘School Clothes AT SPECIAL CLEARANCE PRICES—LARGEST STOCK OF BOYS’ CLOTHES IN THE WEST TOSELECT FROM——WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MOTHERS: splendid All-Wool Suits $15.65 These are regular $20.00 to $22.50 values.

He closed the door and took « ewift glance around the room by the light of a flickering gaa jot. Neat, but extreme poverty was the wtory that he read. The girl lay still, ag if in « faint. Rudolf looked around the room ex citediy for a barrel, People must be rolled upon a barrel who—no, po; that was for drowned persons. He began to fan her with his hat. That Was successful, for he struck her one with the brim of his derby and she opened her eyes. And then the young man saw that hers, indeed, was the One missing face from bis heart's gallery of intimate portraits. ‘The frank, gray eyes, the little nose? turning pertly upward: the chestnut hair, curling Uke the tendrils of « pea vine, seemed the right end and reward of all his wonderful sdven THE SEATTLE; STAR brought back some of her color, She began to eat with a sort of dainty ferocity like some starved wild ant mal Bho seemed to regard the young man’s presence and the aid he had renderyi her as 4 natural thing—not as tho she undervalued the conventions; but as one whose great strens gave her the right to put aside the artificial for the hu- man. But gradually, with the return of strength and comfort, came also & nense of the little conventions that belong; and she began to tell him her ttle story, It was one of a thousand such as the city yawns at every day—the shopgirl'’s story of insufficient wages, further reduced by “fines” that go to swell the store's profite; of time lost thru lilness; and then of lost positions, lost hope, and the knock of the adventurer upon the green door, But to Rudolf the history sounded |as big as the Iliad or the crisis in “Junie’s Love Test.” “To think of you going thru all that,” he exclaimed, “It was something fierce,” said the girl, solemnity. “And you have no relatives or friends in the cityT™ “None whatever.” “I am all alone in the world, tos,” said Nudolf, after a pause. “I am giad of that,” said the gtri promptly; and somehow it pleased the young man to hear that she approved of his bereft condition. Very suddenly her eyelids dropped and she sighed deeply, . “I'm awfully sleepy,": she sald, “and I feel so good.” Rudolf rose and took his hat. “Then I'll may good-night. A long night's sleep will be fine for you.” He held out his hand, and she took it and said “goodnight.” But her eyes asked a queation #0 eloquently, #0 frankly and pathetically that he an#wered it with words: “Ob, I'm coming back tomorrow to see how you are getting slong. You loan't get rid of me 90 easily,” ‘Then, at the door, as tho the way of his coming had been so much less important than the fact that he bad come, she asked: “How did you come to knock at my door?’ He looked at her for a moment, re- membering the cards, and felt « sud den jealous pain. What if they had fallen into other hands as adven. |turous as hin? Quickly he decided that she must never know the truth He would never let her know that he was aware of the strange expedi ent to which she had been driven by her great distress. “One of our plano tuners lives in this house,” he maid. “I knocked at your door by mistake.” ‘The last thing he saw in the room before the green door cléeed was her amile. tures.

You try going without anything to eat for three days and see” “Himmel!” exclaimed Rudolf, Jump- ing up. “Wait titi I come back.” He dashed out the green door and down the staira. In 20 minutes he was back again, kicking at the door with his toe for her to open it, With both arms he hugged an array of wares from the grocery and the ree taurant. On the table he laid them bread and butter, cold meata, cakes, pies, pickles, oynters, a roasted chicken, a bottle of milk and one of red-hot tea. “This is ridiculous,” said Rudolf, blusteringly, “to go without eating. You must quit making election bets of this kind. Supper le ready.” He helped her to # chair at the table and asked. teat’ “On the shelf by the win | dow,” she anewered.
