Deep in the heart of each man and
woman lies some unfulfilled ambition
howard which his efforts tend as a
Toal. With Myra Darling it was q
gold watch.
Her days were passed behind a
counter where variety of neckwear
was displayed. The remuneration was
small and served only to provide her
with home" and the simplest OF
gowns. The watch for which her soul
hungered might have been the moon
or the Roc's egg. But more trying
than the privations she endured was
the cheapness, the narrowness of her
life. so different from the gentle sur
roundings of her girlhood.
1t was her birthday, her eighteenth
year, and Sunday-a day free from the
aisle walkers espionage, a happy COM
binatiOn which Myra enjoyed to the
full. A long afternoon in the crisp,
cool air of the park was happy eli
max.
1t was turning dusk as she left the
park. The city lamps already shone in
a long line down the avenue. On the
side streets the shadows fell black
and ugly, causing few. buildings to
stand out in bold relief. Suddenly Il
flash from passing automobile struck
small, round object that glittered
near the curbing. Myra bent over to
pick it up. Had some beneficent fairy
godmother thrown the gift at her feet? =?
1t was watch, and on her birthday!
She seized it rapturously and, looking
neither to the right nor left, fled up
the steps Of her boarding house, never
pausing until she stood in the hall room
she called her home. She lighted the
gas and drew down the shade, then
breathlessly examined her new found
treasure. The small hunting case was
Of gold, with no mark to identify it,
and set in diamonds.
You little beauty" whispered the
girl as she caressed it with her fingers.
Then, with woman's curiosity, she tried
to open the back. 1t was difficult, but
Mt last Myra gasped with surprise. The
face of young man, with honest eyes
and kindly mouth, looked into her own.
II wonder if he owns the watch"
she thought. "No. it's wOman's trim

MANY DOLLARS

"The Three Most Beautiful Roses f"
By Paul de Longpre

"The Three Most Beautiful Roses I"
By Paul de Lonspre
At the urgent solicitation of the
WOman's Home Companion, Mr.. Paul
de Longpre, who is the greatest paint
er of flowers in the world, consented
to make painting of what he con-
sidered q" The Three Most Beautiful
Roses" and the painting is without
doubt one of the master pieces of this
great artist. This magnificent picture
is reproduced in all its original gran
deur ON the cover of the Woman's
Home Companion for June. AL
though this cover is an accurate re-
production of painting worth hun
dreds of dollars, yet the June num-
Der, which has the exquisite cover,
may be obtained at any first class
newsstand or direct from the publish
ers for the trivial sum of only ten
cents.
Mr.. Paul de Longpre is justly
styled the "King of Flower Paint
ers." He not only paints roses, but
every flower that grows, and is the
highest authority on flowers. His
paintings are found in the most select
homes. Some have sold for as much
as seven thousand five hundred dol
lars (S7, 500, 0O).
Artists, art critics and competent
Judges all agree that the covers of the
Woman's Home Companion far excel
those of any other magazine.
The Woman's Home Companion is
a magazine which in beauty and ex-
cellence, art, stories, illustrations and
fashions, ETC., excels all other home
and family magazines. The Woman's
Home Companion is published by The
Crowell Publishing Company, New
York City, also Chicago, Ill.,, at One
Dollar a year, and is the favorite
magazine in nearly half million
homes. where it is read each and
every issue by three million people.

ket. He must have given 1t to the
girl-and if so he
Myra abruptly closed the case. But
she could not shut out the face from
her mental vision.
She passed her evening rocking slow
ly in her chair, with n magazine be-
tween her fingers, the gentle ticking Of
the watch counting the passing hours.
That night she dreamed not Of the
watch, but of life which the watch
typified and through the dream stalked
a man whose face was the face in the
watch.
She awoke little after q to revel
in the delight of knowing the exact
hour and turning luxuriously over for
another fifteen minutes.
All day she thought about her Won
derful acquisition and smiled happily
to herself The other girls noticed it
and twitted her in their good natured
If rather coarse way. Myra laughed,
but guarded her secret and hurried
home to pass another evening Of de-
lightfu possession. Three days passed,
and. though the watch itself was a
never failing source of delight, as the
actual realization Of her dreams it was
the picture that crept into her heart.
She told her secrets to those honest
eyes and called him dear friend" He
seemed somehow to understand her
every whim.
"The whole world could trust you,
and-Td trust you absolutely" she told
him one night very softly. "The other
girl trusts you too? The other girl!
How sorry she must be to lose your
picture!'
Then suddenly, without any warning.
Myra awoke to the truth. The watch,
the picture, We're not hers! She had no
right to keep them. She turned to the
window and looked drearily out over
the roofs of houses.
~ never thought of it, not once.
They're not mine. They are hers. Hers.
and l kept them. It's the same as
stealing. never thought"
That noon she spent half an hour
running over newspaper files in the
library. She found the description in
the Lost and Found" column and
made note OF the address with eyes
grown misty.
She put off the evil day until Sunday
and decided to enjoy to the full her
last day Of the fairy gift which was to
vanish so soon. She slipped u narrow
black ribbon on the watch and reck-
lessiy wore 1t all day. She did not
dare to look at it or exhibit it to the
girls, but the knowledge that it was
ticking steadily in her belt brought
comfort.
"Can l see the lady-the one who
lost her watch?" she asked, and she
was at once shown into room with
luxurious appointments. There was q
log fire in the crate, with comfortable
lounging chairs and books in every
available space. 1t carried Myra back
to those other days now dim in her
memory.
"You have found my watch? How
glad | am" The speaker came close
to Myra with outstretched hands and
eager smile. She was as beautiful as
any of the women whom Myra served
during business hours.
The girl laid the watch in the others
hand. Surely with all Miss Shepherd
possessed she could have spared this
toy, but 1t was hers, and she must have

Schuyler Happenings.

Mr.. EDITOR On Sunday eve
ming Rev. w. p. Hile, pator of the
Turbotville Baptist church, preached
the memorial sermon. There W, re
only eight of the old soldiers present,
showing that their ranks are very
rapidly thinning out. The sermon
was based upon Exodus ~ chap, II
verse. 1t was shown by the preacher
how memorial days have been kept
from olden times down to the present.
The memorial exercises were fixed for
Tuesday at 1:30 o'clock. AT that
hour the procession formed at the
home Of DIR. Horner and marched to
the old cemetery where the graves
were decorated; after which it went
to the new cemetery, where the i'm
pressive ceremony of the G. A. II.
was read and the graves decorated by
groups of little girls. Rev. T. o.
Stern, of the Reformed church, made
very appropriate address. Some of
the old soldiers said it was the best
they had listened to in that cemetery.
A large number of people was present
and the weather fine.
Mr.. T. S. Pettiiohn canvassed this
neighborhood last week for subscrib-
ers to the Peoples Telephone. lie

much as he had hoped for. There
will be line run in here either from
Exchange or Washingtonville before

understand the advantages Of having
telephone in their houses, there will
be little trouble to get sufficient stock
subscribed to warrant the company to
go ahead and build the line. Like
all other great improvements the pro-
moters must talk it up and educate
those who are to be benefited thereby.
Farmers are, as rule, conservative
and slow to move, but once they fini
