he search for another place. But never
once did the smile leave his face nor
hope cease to cheer his heart After a

One evening when Tom ran into the
house-smiling as always-his mother

Tom. Then he smilingly drew from the
bosom of his overcoat big paper bag,
which he emptied on the table. There
was a small steak, loaf of bread, some
butter and great rosy apple, which he
held up, saying This is for you, mom-
sey. You like apples SO much, and when

They set out through the heavy and
darkening forest, believing themselves on
the path leading straight towards their
own home, Stella walked beneath the um-
brella, but Charley and All, we'll protect
ed by their rainproof capes, did not share

till the basket was empty. Theh, looking
about for more, they could ind none.
"Oh, WELL" said Charley, I'VE don't
want to go back again, for there's Just as
good shelter anywhere hereabouts; and a

"And, what's more, I've had enough of

l was ever In. Home is good enough for
me. Let big men who don't love their
homes do the exploring of unknown for

All and Charley laughed at their sisters

explorers must suffer hardships.
So, they went on and on. BY and by the
rain ceased and they could see through
the tree tops few glistening stars in the
heavens. They knew now that they had
lost their way, for had they gone as they
como they would have been out Of the
wood hours ago. But they reasoned that
since they knew nothing of directions IN
the big Woods" 1t would be worse than
folly to return to its depths. Surely
they must get out Of It soon, for at It's
widest place 1t did not cover more than
three miles, though it was some ten miles
In length.
After an interminable time the timber
became less heavy and thick. and the
children felt that they were descending
long hill, which 1t had taken them such
time to climb, walking, as they did
through dead twlgs, leaves and rottinR
bark. Then, almost before they realized
it, they were under the clear, cold night
sky, without anything to interfere with
their view.
"Out of the woods cried Stella and

looked as though worry was a stranger
to him. But could anyone have tramped
the streets with him day after day and
looked into his poor, desparing little
heart one must have seen much sadness
there, despite the smile on the fair young
face.

In the breast of that poor mother. She
said very little, but she acted, oh, so
much. Smiling Tom" understood, and
while the smile was on his honest young
face tears dropped from his blinking
eyes.
The next morning Tom again began his
work-hunting crusade. He went as last
resort into the office of n grabbed old
lawyer who was notorious for his evil
tongue, SO full of abuse for those in his
employ. He was called "Old Jones, the
crank" Smiling Tom" tapped respect
fully at the door of Jones' private office.
Then he walked In, removing his cap and
bowling. Old Jones was sitting at his
desk writing. He looked up with a
frown at the youthful intruder

Jones, frowning his displeasure.

the old man. Besides II / had work for

Queens Of England.

Katharine Parr, sixth wife OF Henry
Will, was the first Protestant queen OF
England. And more than once she Inn
perilled not only her throne but her head
by advocating the doctrine OF the Refor-
nation. She was of English birth and
fourth cousin TO Henry VIII. Biogra-
piers differ as to the year Of her birth,
but the best authority places 1t In the
year 1913.
Although she descended from really
royal blood on both paternal and mater
nal sides, her father was only knight,
being Sir Thomas Parr, a courtier In
high favor with Henry.
While in her fourteenth year Katherine
Parr was married to a widower of ad-
vanced years, who at the time OF his
union with Katharine had sons grown to
manhood. He was Lord Borough, Of
Gainsborough. He died a year after
Katharine became his wife, and the girl
widow fell heir to lands and money to
very considerable amount.
But she did not remain long q widow
for In her twentieth year she was married
to Lord Latimer, who wes also a wsdower
with a family OF small and half-grown
children. But fate seemed to have de-
creed that Katharine should know much
Of widowhood, for when In her twenty
ninth or Alrtleth year (blographers are
not certain on the point exactly she was
a second time made a widow by the sud
den death clifford Latlmer. Through his
death Katharine came into other vast
properties, thus being at the time OF her
marriage with Henry very we'll hxed
financially.
Shortly after her second wldowhood
Katharine was--to her own terror-wooed
by the much-married king. She could
not but recall the wretched. cruel fates
OF four OF HeDry's hye wives and trem-

head In the moose. Also her stlll youth

the beautiful and virtuous Katharine Parr
laid aside her weeds to again be led to
the altar In marriage.
For four years Katharine lived q life
with Henry VIII. that could not have
been envied her by the humblest Henry
was slowly dying. His appetites had
made him thing Of disease. His legs
were covered with ulcers, his feet swollen
with gout and his temper-never amia-
ble-was now almost unbearable. And 1t
Is very probable that had he kept his
health a little longer Katherine would
have been another victim to add to the wives
gone before. She had been accused of
heresy; warrant signed by the Kings
own hand was Issued for her arrest
Only through her own keen wit and won
derful tact did she so handle the King
that he became repentant Of this piece
of infamy, and when the lord chancellor
with his guard came to serve the papers
on Katharine and to carry her to the
Tower Henry burst out into a rage against
him, driving him from his presence with
sch epithets as fool and 'knave,"
and angrily ordered him to ''avaunt from
my presence!"
Henry VIII. died January 2s, 154s, and
Katharine was for the third time a
widow, and for the fourth time she be-
came wife, marrying the only man she
had ever really loved, Sir Thomas Sey-
mour. While she was almost as much
married as was Henry, her matrimonial
ventures were of so different a nature
that none could condemn her.
She did not live long after becoming
Seymours wife, and though they had
been most congenial couple during their
short union she was very unhappy dur
ing the illness which killed her, imagining
that her lord was growing tired OF her
and desiring her death that he might be
free to woo her royal stepdRughter, the
Princess Elizabeth.
Katharine died In her thirty-sixth year,
having survived Henry one year ana six
months. MARY GRAHAM.

the way the matter stands sir. Though
the smile never left Toms face, there
was the faintest suggestion of a tremor
In his eager voice, tremor that was not
lost on the ears of the learned lawyer.
'Well, come back this afternoon at 2
o'clock. And come to work, too. No Idle
bones loaf round my office. Remember
that, young man. / am through with the
interview"
THANK you, SIR, and good-morning,
smiled Tom, bowling as he withdrew from
the mighty presence OF "old Jones, the
crank"
That afternoon Tom was on time to the
minute. He performed every errand as
signed him quickly and thoroughly. old
Jones looked surprised several times that
afternoon. He had at last found the boy
he had been wanting for so long. But he
kept his pleasure to himself, for he was
not one to speak words OF praise.

Tom of the greatest value to him. He
was quick In his work. orderly, reliable
and always In happy frame of mind.
On the morning Of the last day OF his
hrst week In old Jones' office something
happened which marked 1t a red-letter
day for Tom. A client with as sour
makeup as old Jones' own came In to
rake the lawyer over the Goals for losing
a lawsuit for him the day previous. He
fumed and swore about, calling Jones sew
eral very undlgnihed names. Jones, his
own temper letting loose, rose roaring TO
the occasion. At last the dispute had al
most reached the point OF blows, when
Tom, coming from the outer office, laid
restraining hand on his employers arm
saying, In calm voice, his face smiling
and serene: Remember, Mr. Jones, that
you've an important eese under way, and
you can't AFFORD to let this mans ungen-

And sure enough, lying some two or
three miles away, In pretty valley.
was the town their parents had started
to that morning. Its many lights made II
plain. The children with one mind set
out with redoubled vigor toward those
welcome lights. They had gone through
the entire length OF the "Big Woods"
the distance Of some 10 miles, Pretty
good travelling for little ones all under
10.
There was some surprise a little later
at the hotel Of the town when three
small and weary travellers trooped into
the office, where the night clerk was
waiting mp for the arrival Of the IL
o'clock train. Ten minutes later n tap
at the door Of the room occupied by the
children's parents wakened them from
their sleep.
"Who's therew asked a mans voice
from the interior Of the room,
Charley, All and Stella, please, papa"
answered n boyish voice from the hail.
Then the door fairly few open and IN an
other Instant Stella was in her mothers
arms and all sorts Of questions were
being asked Of the wayfarers.

party, consisting of parents and three
children, broke up, the two boys and
their father having taken another room
across the hall, while Stella remained to
share her mothers bed.
Mercy, mamma. this beats being
under an umbrella in the Big Woods -
sighed Stella, as she sunk to rest in the
warm bed. And across the hall the boys
were saying. "Gee, It's great exploring
new territory, but 1t would be better to
do SO in warm, dry weather."
"And a compass would not be amiss, -
laughed their father. "Well, ia ad-
wise you boys to go 1t alone next time.
Girls are hardly At for such hardships- +"
"oh, Stella is a little brick" declared
ALI. 'She kept up courage and strength
remarkably we'll. Nothing the matter
with stell, daddy"
And then ALI and Charley fell asleep
to dream of great forests and junRies
full Of wild animals, with rain pouring
like a waterfall all about them. And
the scene of their fancy was the "Big
Woods"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-07

Old Jones, the grabbed, was at first
dumfounded. He stopped In his TRADE
to hear what Tom was saying, and after
he heard he stood open-mouthed, staring
down into the smiling blue eyes of his
Office boy. Just what he might have done
under the circumstances cannot be ex-
planned, for before he had recovered
his voice his angry client, resentlng Toms
request to show him to the door, rallied
forth: "How dare a smiling kid - a
freckle-nosed office menial-offer to show
me to the doorl Why"
But he didn't finish the sentence. His
turning so angrily on Tom was the point
needed to make Jones act In a different
manner than he otherwise might have
done. Taking the surprised client by the
shoulders, he whlsked him out of the
private office before that individual knew
what was doing. Then, as he shut the
door on him, he turned to Tom, saying:
Eyes, Tom. show that man the outer
door"
But Tom was not needed to perform
that errand. The client, swearing all
sorts of vengeance, hurried away with
out the courtesy OF the office boy. Tom,
smiling, returned to the private office or
his employer. resumlng his work with
out word of what had just occurred.
For awhile Jones sat watching the boy
from under his shaggy brows. Then he
called him to come near. "Say, young
chap, you're made OF the finest metal
ever saw. You will make cool-headed,
reasoning man--one who will know him
self under all circumstances. You are
worth a great deal to me-if II Is for
nothing more than that cheerful smile OF
yours" And Jones, the crank. really
smiled as he put out his hand to Tom.
Your cool head saved me deal Of extra
trouble just now. You were right; l
must put all my energies to work on this
most important new case. Small fry like
that foolish. hot-headed old greenhorn
must not be allowed to rufiie my temper
and take my mind from my work. This
evening you'll get your wages In an en-
yelope. Say nothing 10 me about the
sum you hnd there. l pay you for your
work, your good horse sense aud your
smile. There, so on ding those doeu-
ments. l have some letters for Sou to
take 10 the office"
Tom did not answer, but went about
his duties, which kept him 30 busy that

knew they might be many miles from
drinking water.
But the rain seemed In no notion Of
stopping. Rather did It become Of more
settled nature, coming down steadily, as
though It meant an al-night's session.
All and Charley got their rain capes out
of the bundle, put them on and went out
for more wood. They did not stop till
they had a huge pile at hand, enough to
keep FIRE all night, II necessary. They
also gathered long strips of sllken-llned
bark, spreading It within their nook for
n floor, turning the dry side up. of course.
A very comfortable seat of bark was
fixed for Stella, who now put on her
extra wraps.
Thus they waited the pleasure of the
rain, but before an hour had passed they
became rather uneasy In mind. The day
must be far advanced, for every indica.
tion was that 1t was late afternoon. And
still It rained and ralned. Though the
children were 80 nicely sheltered and
warmed the thought Of remaining there
all night was most terrifying indeed.
Then the wild animals and creatures of
