One evening. when they had been
In the shack some weeks. as he sat
studying the depressed lines that had

to JaclSy.

we're not very cheerful here Is just
because We haven't enough, honor
ablenees."
Then. as Martha caught her breath,
she glanced at him sharply.
I'VE ought to have grandfather's
medal hanging up as 1t was at the
cottage" he explained. You see
Granny. we're always so proud and
happy, when We look at 1t and remem-
ber what q brave soldier he was. II
makes us wish to be all honorable. and
right ourselves. Why GRANNY"
Martha had suddenly dropped her
face in her hands. and was swaying
her poor old body to and fro.
s"Jacky! Jacky!' she cried out. Go
get the medal. quickly!"'
He few for it, quite distracted at
the remarkable effect of his words. He
had merely repeated things she had
often said to him.
Martha had controlled her agitation
when he came back to her side after
q few minutes. She was sitting up
very straight and calm. and there was
q brightness in her eyes. as IL the
spirit behind them was working
strongly. Her mouth had dropped
from the set look it had recently worn.
It Irembled slightly.
"Jacky." she said, stand before me.
my man. Jacky. you say that think
ing of grandfather ought to make US
brave and honorable. Do you mean
it,"
"Oh. yes. Granny"
"And II he was ready to do his duty
in his way. We must do ours in our
way as bravely?"
"Ye-es. Granny"
Then. Jacky, we shall. I'll do mine
and you'll do yours, little lad. even
though it's the hardest trial that
could come for us to be parted"
The next morning Martha carried
the deed to Mr.. Crell and told him the
story of how she had found it and
of her resolve to restore the land to
Willis.
''Oh, Mrs. Brent!" he exclaimed
when he was through reading it,
springing up to grasp her hand. How
glad we are you brought me, this at
last! You say you were not able to
read all Of it? Well. Frederick Willis
was a soldier serving with your hus-
band, and the land is left him in graf
itude for once saving Brent's life. It
is mentioned here that Brent served
under the assumed name Of Clay. Now

him prove Brent's identity, and We
shall get your pension!"
Thanksgiving Day, when Stephen
Butts drove in from his ranch. Martha
was back in her cottage. He looked
at her pleasantly as she opened the
door for him.
Il haven't come to urge you to let
us have the boy, Martha" he said
kindly. Jenny said I shouldn't. since
you're so set by each other"
He had his wagon loaded with
pumpkins and butter and eggs and
other good things produced on his
ranch. He stored them away in Mar
tha's chair.
Martha felt herself blessed beyond
all deserving this day. She went about
stuffing a little turkey and making a
pie for Jacky's dinner full of thank
fulness and penitence.
He snail direct thy paths," she
murmured. with new fervor.

Trying to Make Forty Dollars.


Here is q hard luck story apropos Of
efforts to make a little sum in Wall
street: A young man started with 500
and ran it up to $1,000, or $40 less than
IN even $4,000. The desire to round
out the $4,000 goaded him on. He
said to his broker. "If I can make that
additional $40 on a quick turn I will
draw out my $4,000 and invest it In
real estate" 1t was a strong bull Ia
ket. but things appeared sky high. and
he picked out an active stock to sell
short. l think he landed on T. G. and
l., which had a phenomenal rise and
was due to drop anywhere from 10 to
80 points. He sold 100 shares at par,
intending to close it out at 80. But
instead of going down the blamed
thing scared to 126. At every three
points gain he sold another 100 until
he was carrying all he could tote. In
"a hours he lost nearly every cent it
had taken him three months to make.
| With what little he had left he bought
T. l. on the recession to 116, friends Of
the Hanover National bank assuring
him that it was going to $50. Then

EXPOSITION SCULPTURE.

Pan-American Has the Best Ever
Seen at q Show.
In its sculptural adornment, as well
as in several otaer respects, the Pan.
American Exposition will far surpass
any enterprise Of the kind we held.
There are over 125 splendid original
groups, and they are to be used around
the Court Of Fountains, the Esplanade
and the Electric Tower. They will
symbolic the purposes Of the build
ings and exhibits and bring out the
poetry in what to many may seem ex-
ceedingly prosaic things.
= After crossing the Triumphal Bridge,
which is the grand formal entrance to
the main court and is itself to be dec
grated with splendid statuary, one will
see to the right and left, at opposite
ends Of the E%splanade, the fountains
and the sunken gardens in front of the
United States Government and Horti-
culture buildings respectively.
The Fountain of Man, by Charles
Crafty, Is the central fountain at the
east Of the Esplanade, and it is 1anked
by the Fountain Of Prometheus and
the Fountain Of Hercules. The sub
jects Of other fountains in this group
will be the Savage Age, the Despotic
Age and the Age of Enlightenment. At
the other end of the Esplanade the
Fountain of Nature, by George T.
Brewster, is the most elaborate sculp-
tural adornment, and the idea Of this
fountain is amplifed in minor ones,
such as the Fountain of Kronos, Foun-
tain Of Ceres and the groups typifying
Mineral Wealth, Animal Wealth, etc.
These symbolic ideas will be worked
out in beautiful forms in other parts Of
the main court and in connection with
the Electric Tower and other buildings,
the whole forming q most complete and
harmonious expression Of the purposes
of a great Exposition, such as the Pan
American.
