Lowed a smile would cure all Ills;

Never met him thet he didn't
Cry out, Cheer up, BIZ, an smile;
Life amt such a dreary burden,
Something's surely wuth the while."
Said a smile wuz real, an trouble
Didn't hev no place In life;
An recommended smiln'
To appease an angry wife;
Said there weren't no use in swearin',
Said the hull world would be gay
II a man would jes' imagine
Thet the sun shone every day.
He preached the smilin' doctrine,
Thet wuz all he had to do;
An I've noticed thet it's easy,
From the proper point Of view;
But one day this laughin' preacher
Stubbed his toe real hard, an then
He forgot his laughin' preachin',
Joined the ranks OF swearin' men.
oh. the preachin' part Is easy,
But the practicin' is tough
And when you're likely to be called,
Don't try to work bluff,
III you're teachin smilin' lessons
Which are worthy lessons, too
When trouble hits your wagon,
Folks will want a smile from you.

The girl paced the room nervously,
light of impatience in her eyes.
flush Of expectancy in her cheeks.
Ever and anon she drew aside the
curtains and peered expectantly down
the street.
He was coming home after four
years absence-four long years OF
waiting and hoping. And he was
coming crowned with success. She
remembered well his going away
eager to try his mettle with the
world and to challenge fortune. but
beset with doubts and fears as to the
outcome.
They had been rare friends all their
school days and she had been the
confidant of all his ambitions, hopes
and fears. True they were not en-
gaged-that was impossible because he
had his way to make IN
foothold before he could even
give thought to matrimony.
They often had talked 1t over in the
abstract - not with reference to
themselves or their relations, but with
reference to his life plans. But she
had regarded him as her own par
ticular knight and was sure he would
come back to claim her when victory
had crowned his efforts.
There had been nothing OF love-
making in their relationship, but rath-
er a spirit of comradeship and close
friendship and both were so young
and so absorbed with the other affairs
of life that they had thought little or
nothing of the grand passion.
1t was after he had gone away that
the girls heart awakened and the
sweet discovery of her love had glori-
fed the world. 1t was this knowledge
which had made her value SO highly
the unexpected legacy which had
come to her upon the death Of Uncle
John. She would bring to him no
mean portion when he came to claim
her and she tingled with JOY at the
thought that this would help him scale
the heights so much quicker and cas-
ier.
Little correspondence had passed
between them and that wholly in ref
erence to his work.
And now he was coming home. Not
yet with ultimate victory emblazoned
on his banners but yet with enough
accomplished to feel that his feet were
on the rocks and that, barring sick.

tional girl he had left.
But her heart was not changed, and
she laughed triumphant little laugh.
There was not seam or a scar upon
it and her mind was as fresh and
untarnished by worldliness as when
he went away.
She scarcely could believe that the
great moment had almost arrived, but
the clock told her it was nearly here
and her whole body thrilled and glow
ed with strange and sweet emotions
while her quivering heart beat tat
too against her breast.
Though she paced back and forth
like a Gagged tigress the time of wait

of waiting usually are. He was CON-

Of her emotions so enthralled her that
she scarcely craved aught else.
Then the jangle Of the bell; a
breathless moment or two full Of heart

"By Jove, Bess, you're sumner" he
said taking both her hands. "If 1t were
not for your eyes ! wouldn't believe
1t was the same girl who used to help
me make day dreams"
The scarlet leaped to her cheeks
and her heart beat so hard she
thought he must hear 1t.

told her in the same old whimsical
way, so interesting In its contrasts of
quaint humor and pathos, of child
like simplicity and keen intelligence,
of boundless faith and intuitive judg-
ment. AS he revealed himself to her

she realized with a glow OF conscious
affinity that he was the same old
Howard of the dear old days. When
he had done with his story she told
him in the most charmingly deprecat-
ing manner in the world of her own
good fortune and the boundless oppor-
tunities which had come to her with
the acquisition Of the golden sesame
of ample wealth. His Joy and enthu-
siasm at her disclosure knew no
bounds and his congratulations were
so warm and sincere as to imply the
closest personal friendship.
Then:
"By the way, Bess, have not told
you of the best Of my good fortune"
