Winter apples were swinging and
shivering as they swung in cutting
east wind.
In the doorway of the old-fashioned
white and green cottage, stood Meta.
Before and all about her, the wealth
of trees and shrubs stood bleak and
stripped.
Two brilliant roses had slipped into
the girls cheeks, and the eyes above
them looked deep and dark with a
radiant happiness. Her hair, black
| and waving, tumbled picturesquely
| over smooth, white forehead.
Somewhere inside the room, clock
struck four, and Meta drew in her
| breath with a sudden heartbeat. Sim.
ultaneously, came the sound of swift
rushing wheels over the hard clay
road beyond.
Meta closed the heavy door behind
| her and slipped softly out into the
frozen air.
Ericsson had left his carriage at the
toll-gate and was coming toward her
with outstretched hands.
".Jack!"
Sweetheart" he cried, his arms
about her.
Presently he held her away from
him to look into the wide, love-lit eyes.

Ericsson assisted her to rise, and for
second afterward, stood looking
down into her face as he had a hun.
dred times before; through his eyes
trembled something she dare not un-
derstand.
The instant passed, and then the
world-the whole world outside those
two-seemed to slip and vanish. and

The following day found the young
artist working away with all the en-
thusiasm of genius. His face was
flushed and his eyes glowed with a
feverish light. The hours sped by I'M
noticed, until, finally, compelled by
sheer exhaustion and hunger, he lay
down his brushes and went out and
bought a cup Of weak coffee and a bis
cult. Day followed day and still the
almost inspired young man stuck to
his canvas. What he had eaten for q
week would not have made a hearty
meal. The landlord had agreed to wait
a few days and he had dismissed the
matter from his mind. Slowly but
surely the face of the woman on the
vase was growing on his canvas. The
landlord came again and after a deal
of persuasion agreed to hold off for a
few days more.
George Chalmers sat before his al
most finished canvas. A look of I'M
speakable happiness shone in his
eyes. His whole body quivered with
a delightful excitement. He realized
that his work was all but completed
and began to indulge in the luxury Of
dreams. In an hours time he would
have given the finishing touches to his
work of art, and then-a flood of &C.
stasy poured into the young artists
soul-into his eyes.
He did not hear the heavy creak Of
advancing footsteps on the stairs, nor
did he see the three rough-looking
men and the landlord advance into the

One Of the men stepped forward,
and, raising his arm with a hooking
laugh, dashed the vase-model from its
bracket, sending it crashing in thou
sand pieces to the floor. George Chal-
mers woke to the present. He looked
at his vase, an impossible broken
mass on the rough board floor. He
looked at the landlord and the two
men, and his eyes shone with the
grief that comes with a broken heart.
He closed his eyes and sank back in
his chair.

THE PLIGHTED TRoTH
By Nellie Cravey Gilmore.

Where the road bent, Meta selected
tempting tuft of grass and seated
herself upon it, depositing her numer-
GUS small packages on the plat OF
green beside her. The great sun hat,
scarlet with poppies. she had been
wearing all day, fell back alta toss OF
her head and she clasped both hands
over one knee.
For long time she sat silent, medi-
tative, weary with the days shopping,
yet happy as the smiles that crossed
and recrossed and sometimes fingered
about her fresh young face.
Dusk shadows presently began to
choke away the pretty pink haze and
paint sober coat over the brilliant
September foliage. The musical tin
kle of cowbells and the calves answer
ing bleat mingled family in the dis
lance and reminded Meta that it was
getting late. With a little half-sigh
Of regret she started to her feet, then
slipped back again swiftly, as the
familiar clatter of a horses hoofs
sounded less than fifty feet away.
Flashes of scarlet quivered in her
cheeks as Ericsson rounded the bend
and drew rein.
"Alone?" he asked, dismounting.
She nodded and set to work col
lecting her packages with sudden un-
concern.

somewhat gravely.

Meta. with defiant toss of Der head.
Ericsson did not speak at once. Her
words, Insignificant enough in their
own import, had struck queer chord
within him that caused him to draw
a quick breath and shut lis teeth
hard to keep back the thoughts that
fought for utterance.
81 know THAI you are-very differ

The girl looked up with a swift
question in her eyes, surprised out of
her usual reserve by the odd note in,
his voice.
He stood staring down at her for
a moment, his hands deep in his trous-
ers' pockets, then he dropped abrupt
ly to the grass beside her, and COM
menced in a mechanical little fashion
to toy with the long. slender blades.
There's something I want to ted
you-must tell you," he said, some
what unsteadily, his eyes fastened to
the blur Of tree tops in the distance.
Meta caught her breath quickly
and her Iashes flickered. For the mo-
ment sort Of panic possessed her to
jump up and run as fast as she could,
but the reaction of 2 deeper joy than
any she had yet known, held her
motionless.
"Well?" she queried, smiling, her
voice low to hide its trembling.
81 think I ought to tell you." he
replied soberly, shat am going to be

For a full minute the girl did not
take her eyes from his face; the smile

The First Bachelor.

When Adam ''batched' in Paradise. be-
fore the cook had come,
He found his homework >irksome and
1t was neglected some.
AID wasn't lazy, either-he was up at
early dawn
But he wouldn't air the bedding and he
wouldn't sweep the lawn.
And the serpent heard him muttering,
II won't wear any clo'es
Until find a good fig-leaf on which the
button grows"
Beneath the couch Edenic was collected
such a store
OF miscellaneous rubbish as was never
seen before;
While in the primal kitchen was a mess
which I declare
Was quite enough to make a Christian
woman swear.
Then the Lord looked in upon him and
he gave an awful groan,
"It is not good, see." He said. "that
man should be alone"
And all terrestrial troubles from that
very date began.
For Adam soon thereafter had become a
family man."
He had planted hogs in Eden. sown his
garden sass and thrived,
Eut he left the dishes standing till the
day that Eve arrived.

THE AMARANTHINE VASE
BY BARTON WOOD CURRIE

Copyright, 1905, by. Daily Story Publishing Co.
At the time when Greece was the
empire of the world a celebrated pot
ter who lived in Corinth moulded a
vase. He carried the vase to Fhebes,
In which city the great painter APP
peles was then sojourning, and there
upon induced him to paint upon the
vase the portrait of woman, the
most beautiful in all Greece. The pot
ter returned to Corinth and cast his
vase in a seething furnace, whence 1t
came forth virtually imperishable, a
masterpiece of classic pottery. The
potter believed that the painting OF
Appeles would never fade and he
called it 'The Amaranthine Vase"
For several months the potter ex-
hibited his vase in his shop and its
fame transpired throughout Greece.
potter and offered a sum that meant
wealth and happiness for all his days
The vase was sold.
In the year LAG B. c. the Roman
Consul Mummius, at the head of his
legions, entered Corinth. After put
ting the men to death and selling the
women and children into slavery he
plundered the city of its precious
treasures-among them the vase. For
many years this gem Of the potter's
art remained in Rome and was shown
In the palaces Of successive emperors4
The passage of time left no trace on
the magic work of Appeles and the
beauty of the woman remained tran.
scendent.
Finally the vase fell into the hands
of the family Of the Medici and after
several centuries was removed to
Paris, where it took its place among
the treasures of the Louvre. In the
reign of Louis XIV. it was stolen from
the palace and sold to an ignorant
dealer in bric-a-brac. Bought by an
English nobleman it crossed the chan
mel and proved the delight of several
generations of ceramic hunters.
George Chalmers was struggling
young artist His struggle was not
only for home and to gain the young
girl he loved as his wife, but for the
bare necessities of life. His aspira-
lions aimed at a high ideal in life. In
fact, he thought that his preliminary
step must needs be that of a master,
and therefore most of his time was
spent in building up and tearing down.
One evening as he was going to his
studio-the garnet of one Of the better

He went inside, and while overhauling
a lot of brushes and paints his eye fell
on startling bit of coloring that
cleaned from pile of bric-a-brac in
one corner of the shop. Going over to
the nondescript heap Of rubbish he
leaned down and saw face about the
size of a silver dollar enameled on the
surface of vase.

artists frame; his eyes grew wide
with amazement. "Surely that was
the work of a great master!" With a
trembling hand he reached down into
the heap of rubbish and, exercising all
