For almost twelve months Ralph Brown had wrestled manfully with poverty and disappointment in large Southern city vainly looking for the fortune that every country-reed boy believes awaits him in the town Long ago, however, Ralph had given up the quest for the fortune and had engaged in a struggle for bare exis- tence.
 He had left a comfortable home in the country. a good father and low ing mother, as many a boy had done before him, confident of brilliant suc- cess in the great busy world.
 Only at odd times had he been able to secure small jobs. just enough to keep him in poor lodging house ana several times he had been on the verge of being turned from this With out shelter. He had found the world, on which he had looked with rosy prospects, to be very cold ana indifferent. Where thousands or peo- ble pressed him on every side as ne walked the streets he felt more lonely than he had ever been on the quiet farm at home, and time and again as he rested his face on his tear-wet pill low had he prayed for the quiet peace and security of that humble home.
 A night came over the city on Christmas eve Relph stood alone on the viaduct that spans the railroad yards. There was a meaa drizzling rain with sleet and the people who were so unfortunate as to be abroad

SANTA CLAUS
 UNDERSTUDY

Nan jumped up from the table. Get to work, girls. As soon as the dishes are out of the way I'll go down and interview MT. Clerk" In the adjoining room The Man" got off the couch where he had been trying to sleep for the last two hours. He crept softly into his bedroom, put on his overcoat and hat, took his suitcase and walked out to the eleva- tor.
 T wonder whether I could make A success as St. Nick if the old man him. self happened to be indisposed," he soliloquized as he drove away in the cab after telling the clerk that he had changed his plans again.. and would not be in his rooms until after New Years Day. '
 The girls had arranged everything the night before Christmas. '"The Mans sitting-room was gay with holly sprays and festooned with cedar. Nan rose early, slipped on her dressing gown and went to take a final peep al the little tree before dressing for early arrivals.
 She opened the folding doors and then rubbed her sleepy eyes In aston- ishment. A huge, wide spreading palm lowered above the little Christ mas tree, its large leaves glistened and an immense bow of scarlet ribbon dec- orated the tub that held it. Two packages tied with the same ribbon lay on the floor in conspicuously awk- ward spots.
 "Is there such a person as Santa Claus. after all my cynisism?" gasped Winnie,who had rushed in upon hear ing Mans exclamations. She sat in the floor holding a box of white gloves With winnie" printed in scrawling letters on the cover.
 Helen actually showed all the sy1np- toms of genuine case of astonishment when the other package was, found to contain the desired Christy pictures
 If the breakfast party had been of sufficient importance to receive news paper notice the account would have ended. "the pleasure of the occasion was slightly marred by the breaking of an Indian tobacco jar by one of the grown-up children"
 A week later a very embarrassed and apologetic Nan stood in the hall with the pieces of the tobacco jar in her hands. making her confession to The Man."
 We would have bought another and never let you know anything about it," she concluded naively. If 1t had not been so peculiar that we couldn't match 1t. I hope you did not prize 1t very huch."
 T wedld willingly have made a much greater sacrifice for the pleasure of becoming acquainted with my charming neighbors," he answered with a smile that Mans relieved mind thought the most fascinating she had ever seen.
 Three months later he sat with Nan in the parlor of the little flat. The big pagn might have been less on the order of a spreading chestnut and still have covered both their heads.
 The girls head was on his shoulder. and she was toying with one of the palm leaves which she had pulled down to hide her flushed face.
 We will have the palm in our new home" he said tenderly.
 "Yes. it was your first present to me-" she said, looking at him quizzical- ly.
 How did you find out7" he asked with a guilty flush.
 She laughed. and put tiny kiss on the tip of his Christy nose.

Three years passed and Ralph Brown returned to the city to accept a re- sponsible position in a wholesale house where he had been called. He came now with no fear of the future for he had applied himself we'll in a vil- lage store and had prepared himself for the fight against diversity. His previous trip had taught him the les son that success only came by hard knocks and untiring industry and did not wait to crown voluntarily every boy that came green-handed from the country.
 few weeks after his return to the city Christmas eve came and at night fall he found himself crossing the viaduct where three years ago he had been shown the way of courage by young girl and her good mother. He stopped wnerc he had stood before and unused over the incident that de- cided him. He had not forgotten his guiding angels of that hour of de- spair and especially had the face of the girl followed him through these intervening years of toll and study. A crushed carnation that he always carried next his heart ever breathed to him song of encouragement. He wondered if this good woman and her daughter were still in the city and If he would ever see them again.
 As he bent over the rail he heard a low exclamation behind him.

 "Wont you go?" This eager appeal n,as from the girl and echoed her sim nle interest in the homeless boy. It touched Ralph's heart Yes, l will go tonight" he said with resolution.
 They wished him a happy return home and a merry Christmas and as they passed on the girl plucked white carnation from a large bouquet she carried and tossed it to him with a happy smile.
 Ralph watched them as they passed from view at the end of the bridge then he turned one more look down the railroad tracks towards his home. The prospect did not look so gloomy now that he had made up his mind and the flower in his hand seemed to warm his heart.
 Mother, l like that young mans looks. I am sure he is nice and good" said the girl as she hurried on by her mothers side.

Look mama It was the impulsive exclamation of sweet-voiced girl. Ralph thought ne recognized that voice.
 He turned and met 8 timid smile of recognition. They stood before him in ire The motherly face beamed kind " upon him and the girl grown now ana even moro beautiful than he had remembered in his day dreams. Their eyes met for one brief moment She rushed as she recognized the earnest pressure in his face. The silent thoughts that had found resting place in those two lives expressed them selves In that quick exchange of glances
 T am certainly glad to sec vou again and looking so we'll, said tbe elderly woman.
 T was just wondering if I wouId ever see you again." laughed Ralph. T am doing better now and I want to thank d-your-daughter. for your kindness to me'when l hesitated between pride and duty

at this time were hurrying home where cheerful fires and cozy comforts awaited them.
 Relph did not heed the cold nor the rain as he stood there alone on the bridge looking far away in the direc- tfon of his fathers home His pros poets today were gloomy indeed. He had been told the night before that his services were needed no longer as the building where he had been at work for weeks had been completed. The holidays were now on and work would be scarce. He had enough to pay his board bill up to this night and had but few small pieces of silver letf. He scooped them from the depths of his worn pocket and counted them. There was exactly enough to carry him to the small railroad station where his father lived.
 "Perhaps this is a providential sug- gestion," he said aloud. Now while I have the price and can, perhaps had better return home. But, no. cannot do 1t. When I left I boasted that when came again I would be a rich or a famous man. How the boys would laugh at me. No, I will stay and fight 1t out; perhaps the tide will turn after a while"
 Some time he stood there on the via duct the night-wind beating into his face. He was swayed between pride and duty

bored patiently, telling no man of his dreams or achievements. Not until he was certain that his efforts were rewarded by success did he announce his idea
 Now an orchard of hfty-five trees yields annually large. red, nne-navored apples having no seeds in them. Some of these seedless trees that interlock with ordinary trees contain seeds. but they are placed hit or miss in the fruit. seldom near the core. but some- times within an eighth of an inch of the surface. It is only where the pollen of the ordinary tree has influ- enced the seedless crop that seeds arc found,
 No blossom is visible at any time on the seedless apple tree. There is a small quantity of pollen, probably not over one-twentieth of the amount that there is on the common apple tree blos- som. A green bud appears on the seedless tree, which much resembles the bud on the common apple tree af- ter the ffowr is removed; but on the seedless tree there appears only the bud.
 A cavity Is observed at one end, sim liar to that on the navel orange of f1f- teen years ago. The end of the apple Is almost an exact reproduction of the navel orange as it was at Its earlier stage. Now the orange has almost en- tirely filled the former cavity at the navel end.
 These seedless apples grow as large as the ordinary winter apple and con- tain as much juice. They are one of the latest varieties to mature in Colo rado; in fact, they are not thoroughly ripened before the 18th of October. But the lateness of the season affects this extraordinary apple not at all; late frosts leave the seedless trees still bearing when its neighbors with seeds are barren and forlorn.
 The meat is very firm and hard and the apples are among longest keepers that grow in Grand Valley. In color the apples are red when fully matured

 Ralph turned quickly and looked squarely into the sweet face of young girl hurrying across the bridge at the side of a mlddle-aged woman. The girl was visibly embarrassed when she saw that the young man had heard her words.
 T beg your pardon. I did not think that you would hear me" she stam- mered. awkwardly.
 "Oh, I am so glad I heard you," he blurted impetuously. There is no of fense. Yes, I have a good home but am too big a fool to go to it. but now believe I will go. Your interest has suggested my duty and now I be- lieve I will go"
 You say you have q home. and think you ought to return to it?' The mother asked, looking kindly into the earnest face of the boy.
 Yes. I have a good home down there in the country but I am too proud to return"

 Almost a year."

 Christmas eve two years later car riages bearing a bridal party to the railway station were crossing the via duct. A white hand in one of the car riages is latd tenderly on the arm of a happy man. Ralph, do you know that I shall always love this bridge?"
 As Ralph Brown placed crushed carnation in her hands he said with all tenderness, My darling, I shall always thank God that once stood here in the rain and sleet a homeless penniless vagabond."
