If she had meant that there was no

used to beat her side; that she cared,
even as he had, more and more through
all the lonely years that had divided
them? Was she clearing the road for
him at last the road for which he
longed but lacked the courage to take?
After awhile he closed the door and
went back into his study. With trem-
bling hands he gathered up all his
treasures and locked them back in the
cabinet-all but the faded knot of rib

piece of paper and wrote across the
back of it,
"Will you wear it this evening for

Afterward he went out in the street

know an old man who has had o
and misfortunes, but he started out in
life with firm determination to ex-
tract just as much real enjoyment
from it as he went along as possible
not in dissipation, but in wholesome
recreation and fun. He has always
tried to see the humorous side of
things, the bright side and the duty of
happiness.
The result is that, although this man
has had more than his share of sorrow
in his career, he has developed the in
estimable faculty of making the best
of every situation and of always fac.
ing the sun and turning his back to the
shadows. This life habit of cheerful
ness and optimism has brought out a
sweetness of character and a poise and
serenity of mind which are the envy
of all who know him. Although he has
lost his property and the most of his
family and relatives, yet he radiates
sunshine and helpfulness wherever he
goes.
A man who can laugh outside when
he is crying inside, who can smile
when he feels badly, has q great ac-
complishn,ent. We all love the one
who believes the sun shines when he
cannot see it.
A potted rose in window will turn
its face away from the darkness to-
ward the light. Turn it as often as
you will, it always turns away from
the darkness and lifts its face upward
toward the sun.
So we instinctively shrink from cold,
melancholy, inky natures and turn our
faces toward the bright, the cheerful
and the sunshiny. There is more vir-
tue in one sunbeam than in a whole
atmosphere of cloud and gloom.
Your ability to carry your own sun
shine with you, your own lubricant,
your own light, SO that, no matter how
heavy the load or dark the way, you
will be equal to the emergency, will
measure your ability to continue and
to achieve. Success.
