Therefore will take the doll and destroy the mech
anism that makes it talk When she wakes, she will
find the doll is speechess and then we viii tell her
we must take it away to have 1t 1Xed.
But if the doll don't speak what will they give
YOU on it in the pawnshop?' the wife asked.
Never mind Aaronson retorted 1t IS better
to take little less than to have Rachel crying her
self i'll Even if it doesn't speak, we ought to get
dollar on it..
4 oppressive weight pressed on the father heart
n as he lifted the wax form out of the bed and car
red it into the front room With swift jerk he tore
the button from the waist As he did so something
within snapped The spring bounded out OF ITS
groove and the doll fell apart if it had been rent by
an internal upheaval.
A cry of pain, as if he had received a sudden blow
escaped from Aaronson. He laid the torn and dis
ointed figure the table, his frame qulver1ng and
his face pale A sigh that almost moan came
from the wife Silently Aaronson examined the
broken doll He found the interior stuffed with white
tissue paper done up in separate packages From the
hollow of the legs arms and head he drew the paper
He gave convusve gasp he opened the soft wrap
ping
an assortment of diamonds, rubies sapphres eTner-
aids and pearls Two necklaces, one of graded dia-
mOnds, the other of exquisite pearls were entwned
in of the packages. The other stones, while
set were not new. 1t plain they had been pTled
from their settings and wrapped in the tissue paper
without regard their arrangement in the set pieces
from which they had been taken.
AarOnSon stood there mOtiOnleSS and upright, in
silent contemplation of the shimmering jewels The
stones cast an enchanting spell the wife she
looked in wonder on the ghstening array The
trance of Simon made the couple look up His down
face told plainly he brought encouraging news
from the strike headquarters. His footsteps halted
abruptly when his gaze fell on the table. By rapid
intuition he realized what had happened.
1t the gift of PrOvdenCe! he exclaimed "As
live, it's gift from above!'
He took up position of survey at side of the
table, his eyes glsten1ng with uncomfortable joy

burted Simon
Il don't know that" answered Aaroneon II

not ours and we will not touch them
Don't be a fool" Bernstein said with "a sreeping
ee+rre of the hand Here IS a fortune rIglt before

broken and we threw It away. here Isn q mouth

about giving back what you got honesty. You

Aaronson smiled disdainfully at his future son n

a tone of final1ty. 1t IS better 70 starEe than 20

Before the father was able to answer she saw the

on the table.

\ violent culver ran down her frame as she threw
herself face downward the sofa. kicking her naked
heels into the air in the agony Of her heart.
The father sat down by her, trying TO soothe her
1t is only broken, he said. We VIII have II
mended right away 1t IS not dead, by tomorrow
you will see it alive again And 1t will talk too Just
as it did before"
But Rachel refused to be cOnsoled; so the father
let her remain the sofa until the violence Of her
outbursts subsided and her distressful cries
ceeded by low, pitiful means
As the father turned toward the table, he became
aware of the presence of Jacob, who had been aWak

claimed:
'Oh, 1overl A lover That tea stem means a

Then with her spoon she stirred her tea three

tea ceased whrling the stem clung to the spoons

An interesting little opperetta,
A Night In Flowerdom" was much
enjoyed by q large crowd at the
Town Hall on Wednesday last The
little artists performed in q very
creditable manner and the enthusi-
astic applause was well deserved.
Master Dukes song about the con-
ceited frog and the attractive duet of
Misses Eleanor Turner aud Marie
Ching. both Of which we're support
ed in excellent form by the we'll train
ed chorus were we'll executed. Miss
Blue Bell. Miss Nita Camalier made
quitea hit by the mphatic announce
ment that, she would some day be a
Queen. Miss Frances Turner sang
in fine style the legend OF the quer-
relous caterpillar, whose captious
career was ended by the timely ar
rival of sparrow. The second act
was the Floral Queen s Reception in
the Violet Gardens. Flora, Miss
Eloise Ahell, was crowned with be.
fitting ceremonies and her loyal sub
jects sang their allegiance, after
which the master of ceremonies an
nounced that Mile Cricket, Miss
Philo Morgan with an excellent song
and dance would entertain the court.
She did, and also the audience.
Meet me in Rosetime" was sung
in q way to make Cohen and Harris
look to their laurels. Flora's lula
by to the moon was fine. The stag
ing was excellent as were the cos
TUNES. and the cast gave evidence OF
careful training. Mrs. Geo. Loker
was directress in charge and the
production was one of which TO be
proud. Besides the oppsretta the
selections OF the Glee Club, ably as
sisted by Messers Van Buskirk and
Stephen Jones, were pleasing mum
bers. Refreshments and dancing
were enioyed after the plav
