Solomon lsaacs had been counted a
prosperous pawnbroker for years. lis
little shop, located or the corner of a
busy thoroughfare, showed big
profit, while large concerns in the
neighborhood had failed during the
hard times.
Real estate sharks had made tempt
ing offers TO Solomon for his precious
corner, but he assured them all that
he was doing very well and did not
care to sell. Indeed, Solomon boosted
of many fashionable customers, and
his showcases often displayed gorgeous
gems, offered for sale at temptingly
low prices.
Business seldom started in until after
10 in the morning, so Solomon was
standing in the open doorway smoking
a cigar when his attention was at
tracted to a fashionably dressed young
woman looking in his window. Sud
denly she caught his glance and darted
in the doorway.
II want to get this watch out of
her into the shop. She handed him
the ticket
"Out early, amt you" suggested
Isaacs as he glanced her over, wonder
ing how she had happened to pawn a
watch for So. Clearly some one had
arranged the matter for her. Isaacs
never forgot business face.
: He took the ticket and went to the
back Of the store in search of the
pledged article. and Nita Norcross
spent the time in looking into tempt.
ing case of old jewelry. One old
docket attracted her and on his return
she asked its price.
Isaacs took out the locket slowly,
still searching the girls face. The
price seemed reasonable. and she
bought it. Turning to leave the shop.

From Welsh to Spanish.

surrounded by wild tribes of hostile

they were ruled by foreign govern
ment and became loyal citizens.

she met face to face huge policeman
and 1.-the youth. Nita's heart went
out to the latter. In her imagination
she pictured the young man as way
ward and pawning, perhaps stealing,
jewelry. Surely he must be a thief or
why his police escort? The suspected
youth looked at her sharply as he
passed into the shop, and Mia hurried
home with her purchase. Once in her
room, she told her maid to send the
laundress upstairs. She wished To
speak to her privately.
Here is your watch, Mrs. Berry"
said Mia as she handed the timepiece
to her washerwoman, who began to
weep copiously on gingham apron
II hope you will never have 10 part
with it again. The next time you need
money for sickness or any serious
trouble come To me. Never pawn any
thing again. 1t is Il terrible habit"
continued Mia. Then recalling the
picture OF the handsome youth. she
added: 1T teaches young men where
they can get extra money and Oftener
gets chem into trouble than out of it,.
Now run along TO your work and never
think of it again" And Mrs Berry,
clasping the cheap yet precious watch
of her dead husband to her heart
went back To her tubs.
Several weeks later Mia NorcrOSS
was invited to the clambake given at
Oak Ridge by her old friends the
Clydes. Mrs. Clyde introduced her to
since moving TO Oak Ridge. and soon
supper was in full swing.
EncircliEg the round table were thr
ty men and girls. and Mia casually
looked them over. Directly opposite
she recognized new face strangely
familiar. Where had she seen that
man before? lie had an almost imper-
tinent smile. and, look where she
would, their glances seemed always 10
cross.
Supper was over, and the gueas
were strolling about the grounds. The
man with the familiarstrange face
came up to Nita as she stood beneath
clump OF lanterns.
This is Miss Norcross, ! believe"
he said 81 am Mr.. Iildredth. We
were introduced early in the evening.
but no doubt you did not catch my
name. Have you seen the sunken lake
OF which Clyde is SO proud?"
Once away from the crowd, they
found a comfortable little seat along
the waters edge. and the moonlight
fell clear upon them.
