Argument unanswerahIc.

Commissioner Woodbury. of the de-

anecdote of a friend of his who was
walking through Central park the 9TH

at one place, but was stopped by a
park policeman, who demonstrated
with him.

he said generously. But do want
you, dear, and-I'd like my chance

The two weeks were blissful ones
for both. but Margaret could not de-
termine how great share Of the Joy
giving was Jacks. They trudged con-
tentedly along the dusty roads to-
gether, picked berries, stole apples
and waded streams. They logged gay
ly behind old Don, Jacks raw-boned
delivery horse, and were satisfied as
though he were thoroughbred.
Then she sent for Walter Antler and
waited in strange indecision for him
to come. She wrote him frankly Of
her desire for the country. her un-
certainty as to her feelings for him,
and told him about Jack.
Il don't think l understand" he
said. uncertainty, standing tall and i'm
maculate beside Margaret the evening
of his arrival. His handsome, keen
eyes smiled good humoredly into the
girls perturbed face. you say II l

sweet and pretty, yes, but two days

turned to her earnestly. THE city
will seem different with home of
your own and plenty of servants and
theaters and concerts. Inside of a
year you'll say the city's the only
place on earth to live. Really, my
darling, you can't mean this talk about
The country. It's rank nonsense"
Just then Jack swung lightly out OF
his buggy and ran up the walk. He
did not know Antler had come. The
two men eyed each other for a mo-
ment tensely. Then Margaret intro.
duced them.
She looked full into Jacks tanned,
earnest face, then turned slowly to
Antler's clean-cut, virile features.
The men breathed deeply. Each
knew that the woman he loved was
deciding for or against him. Margaret
herself did not realize what she was
doing. She broke the rasping silence
with low:

Spanish Silver.

1t is not an unusual thing for an
American to get hold of some
coins that he thinks are very
old. He may wonder why it is that he
has been permitted to come into pos
session of them at par. The reason is
that the coins still circulating in
Spain are some of them $50 years old
or older. New coins have not driven
out the old ones so completely as IN
other countries, where the old coins
have been largely reminted.

How Patty Helped

To see fat, little Taffy jogging along
the country road one would never
have guessed what an important place
he and the little girl in the cart be-
hind him held in the world.
The little girl was Patty. On the
birthday when she was eight years
old papa had taken her out to the barn
to see her present and there she found
Taffy and the cart sent 20 her e
Uncle Jim. She called him Taffys, ~
cause his coat made her think Of the
molasses taffysmamma made for them
on winter evenings. Il
1t was only very little while after
this that Patty's father became very
i'll, and for long time they thought
that he must die. But he grew a little
better. just well enough so he knew
everything that was passing about
him. and the doctor said that per-
haps he would never be able to leave
the invalids chair. Then Patty saw
her dear, brave papa cry. And she
stole up to him and put her warm little
arms about his neck and said that
she would take care of mamma and
baby Nell.
she had very wise head on her little
shoulders. The village in which she
lived was visited by great many
city people during the summer. One
day when she was driving along won
dering whether she -Sould have to sell
Taffy now that papa was sick, she
met white-haired old lady who look
ed very tired. Patty stopped and ask
ed her If she would ride
I'm going to the depot child" au-
swered the woman, "and if you'll drive
me there I'll pay you a quarter"
Patty did not like to take money
for favor, but when she thought of
her sick father she could not refuse.
There's not body you can get to
take you any place. the old lady
went on. 'Why some one doesn't run
bus is more than can tell"
That gave Patty her idea. AT first
papa and mamma objected. But soon
they said. GO ahead" Then papa
helped her to print some little notices
which read: Anyone wishing the
service of a pony and cart, call up
Patty Perkins, Phone 26s. Driver

These she tackled up in the post
office and in the stores and in the de-
pot. Then she went to the sleepy
little depot to meet the trains that
stopped there. Sometimes she got a
passenger, but more often she did not
Her CHEF work was in driving about
sick women who had come to the viii
lage for the fresh air and were not
able to walk, and in caring for little
children. The rich mothers from the
city were delighted to pay Patty well
for driving their children about the
country and caring for them. And as
for the children themselves, nothing
made them quite so happy as prom
ise of a ride in Patty's cart. For the
little girl always took good care of
the little tots and gave them the very
best time she could.
1t was very busy summer for Pat
ty and Taffy. but a happy one for
papa and mamma and sister Nell were
all well cared for. Then, best of ALL the
doctor said there had been a change
in the case and good care had done
so much for him that after all Patty's
dear papa would be a well man again.
1t was Patty who cried this time
for papa drew her very close to
him and whispered in her ear, Its
