One of the funniest stories in the book, which is published by Charles Scribner's Sons, is that of the embryo writer of best sellers, the emall boy who called himself “Francisco Pupa,” when he was found stranded in New York and brought to the court for his own protection. In the first fictional thriller which he told to ac- count for himself, he was the son of @ Mexican miner murdered in Golden, Cal, but before he drew his ~~ jast breath, 1 jato his faithful @on’s hand a small bone covered with etrange scrate wh o, pres Take this amulet to Clarence J Brown, the well-known banker of New York C gasped the dying man. him that Pupa, -the Mexican miner, sent it, and he will give you $20,000!"

They were, however, @ heartless and unsympathetic people to a youth of Francisco's sensitive mature, so he finally decided to leave their cold firesides and to plunge out for himself into the great world which lay beyond.” Then Francisco told of hprdships, “thrilling and fearful beyond desérip- tion," which he endured while march- ‘ing through the “trackless forests” ‘between Boston and New York. “Didn't you pass through Kittle town in the woods Hoyt inquired, sympathetically. “Yes,” he said without enthusiasm. “Buffalo and Pittsburgh, but I didn’t vetay there long!” ‘And when, following the advice of a sceptical court attendant, Judge Hoyt looked at the label on Francisco's coat and found it had been made in Philadelphia, that romancing traveller explained: “Oh! the coat? I found ‘that on the banks of the Delaware in the forest.” Of course, it proved that the young- ster cam@ from a quict Philadelphia * shome, and that his father insistcd— ‘as Mark Twain once did—that his death had been “grossly exaggerated.” Judge Hoyt also tells of the alibi teffered by Tony and Joe, who stole a box of nail brushes off an express wagon and explainedyto the police that the box Was rightfully in their charge since they were working for "Mr. I, Gross.” “The officer looked down,” says Judge Hoyt, “and saw written in large letters across the box the inscription, ‘1 gross.’” harlie was an incorrigible truant.

"Oh, come now,’ exclaimed our of- ficial, ‘you're not sick, I know that!’ © “No, I ain't sick,’ agreed Charlie. ™" ‘The hookey cop is!" i Then Judge Hoyt writes of Jerry, aged fifteen, who not only broke into @ jewellers show-window and stole ‘pome of its contents, but, unlike most "Juvenile offenders, persisted in lying @bout it, in the face of the plainest “evidence, even persuading his girl pal Margaret to perjure herself for his alibi, It was she, however, who finally persuaded him to ’fess up and to ask for another chance. He got it, “and I suggested to his probation officer,” adds Judge Hoyt, “that if he “bad any further trouble with Jerry he might call into consultation a cer- self-confessed perjurer whose mame was Margaret.” ‘Fxcept for an understanding Judge @Md an equally understanding father, the case of “Frank Bi * might ave had a tragic ending.

THERE’S NO “LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT” What’s More, Prof. Britain Says There’s No Formula for Winning Love and—Listen to This Girle— Your Beauty Is Not Indispensable; Men Rate It Below Other Attractions. By Roger Batchelder f Copyright, 1921, by the Press Publishing Oo. (The New York Brening World.)

A beautiful face by no means has the power often assigned to it. It is by no means indispensible, nor does it add to the intensity of the af- fection felt for its owner. In man, beauty Is almost wholly subordinate to other attractions.” That news must be indeed cheering to the maid who is not so comely as her sisters, She needn't worry a bit more about it; she can get the right man without a pretty Science also proves the fact, which we have long surmised, that youth is more susceptible to love than older men., The older they become, says the @rofessor, the harder it tm to at- tract them. “After fwenty inetd remarks will hardly serve to focus attention and awaken interest; after thirty, the sediment of prolonged experience ha: settled over the insfinct and often so solidified it that toy tools will seldom suffice to break through to the emo- tion-bearing stratum of human na- ture. After that age, falling In love is no longer a matter of instinct. Common sense, judgment, a good truer perspective of life, tend to dis- count the enth\siasm of love's young dream and demand firmer basis for the happiness to be won.” So, after all, the professor hasn't solved the problem, though he has proved scientifically several interest- ing points. Primarily, “it just hap- pens." But may he continue his re- search until he finds the secret.
