After all, what did the book matter?
1t was only a play" book at best!
! And for this he had beaten and humil-
lated Frederick, his dearest and only
friend! Because he was the stronger
he had been tyrannOus, and had used
his brute strength as became a tyrant!
Weeping at last. he sought his com

that they would write another and
better book, and he, Frederick, might
be the hero all the time, might marry
the queen of the castle and be happy
ever afterward"-bu Frederick was
not to be found!
Diiigent search was m.de by the

A year later, incOnsolabic, forsaken
and alone, Thomas, too, left the Home,
upon the stern mission Of making his
own career.
The day was drawing to n close in
the great city as Frederick Schaub,
editor of the international journal
closed his desk preparatory TO going
out for dinner. His great coat was
half on. as a presumptuous caller, de-

writer peered intensely into the impa-

there swept a striking pallor, but

muscles, as If in protest at his weak

for an early reading.

But through 1t all there pulsed the
breath Of contrition and regret.
He was finishing the manuscript
when the writer entered, within his
yearning eyes a hating look Of fear
and doubt, n glance of mingled hope
and anticipated defeat wrestling for
mastery.
Frederick Schaub arose tTCmblingly,
intense in his gaze. Before him stood

Away to the west In the Valley OF

drOops in a sapphire protectorate
over the undulating sub-yalleys and
the sloping hiilsides; away to the
west, where the winter, yielding to
spring, bursts like an emerald lily I'M
folding its petals, where the summer
Is dreamy as hashish, and where the
glorious golden Autumn Is panorama
of prism-kissed grandeur. there stands
amid luxuriant elms on a southern
slope, a Hildreth Home for Orphan

pipe their songs of gladness and their
twitterings of grief, dwelt Thomas

fragments of known knowledge,
snatches of strange, almost inconceiv.
able family history. This, instead of
satisfying the childish yearning for a
mother or father, but fed the fire of
longing, inspiring the two boyish
hearts to reach out their tendrils OF
affection for tangible support. And
each, finding nothing on which to
fasten, turned from pure sympathy to
the other, twining and INTERVIEWING
his love about common Comradeship
Then into the Valley of Ingraham
under the amethystine sky, there came
a story book-and a little girl with
curls like the gold-bronZed leaves on
the side-hills in October, with eyes
like the azure skies in Indian Summer
with laugh like the ripple upon the
rosy pebbles at the ford--and she
gave them the book from beyond the
garden wall of the Home, where she
dwelt in great, brick house that
stood like a castle within the NAPLES
