You can hear the newsboy long
time before you can see him.
What does the newsboy say?

saws. You know he is the newsboy
because he has the papers to prove 1t.
What has the newsboy concealed in
his hand?
The newsboy has cigarette butt In
his hand. He saw it smoking In the

fire to the street, SO he picked 1t up.
Good little newsboy, you viii be a

Did ever you try trick on the

or;oln of surnames,

Surnames were introduced into Eng
land by the Normans and were adopt
ed by the nobility about 100 The old
Normans used Fitz, which signifies
son, as Fitzherbert. The Irish used
o for grandson-O'Neal, ODonnell.
The Scottish highlander used Mac, as
Macdonald, son of Donald. The Welsh
used Ap, as APP Rhys, the son of Rhys.
APP Richard The prefix APP eventually
was combined with the name Of the
father; hence Prys, Pritchard, etc. The
northern nations added the word son
to the fathers name, as Williamson.
Many of the most common surnames'
such as Johnson, Wilson, Dyson, Mich
olson, ETC.. were taken by Brabanters
and others, Flemings, who were nat
uralized in the reign Of Henry W.
1435.

to the invaders.
He went to tank of water and wet
his coat Throwing 1t over his head,
he plunged into the burning house, not
needing the shrill cry Of distress which
issued from the lips Of the trembling
Ankle.
Five minutes of dreadful suspense
followed, during which the rafters fell
in and sent the sparks flying upward
in a mad shower. Surely no one could
live IN such a place. Ankle, moaning
piteously, sank to the ground, heed
less Of the crowd Of spectators, and
burst out into wild weeping.
Suddenly a shout Of joy arrested her
attention, and, sitting up, she saw
through a mist Of tears the form Of
Dirk issuing from the. burning house.
He staggered like drunken man un-
der the weight of a huge rack which
held the precious pipes, not one Of
which was missing.
Straight to the man who had refused
him his daughters hand stumbled
Dirk Van Pelt. Then as old Jan took
the burden from him the young man
fell senseless at his feet.
When he opened his eyes, Jan Van
derstreet was standing by him, tears
streaming down his cheeks. He took
Dirk's hand, saying brokenly "a
house one can soon acquire, but such
a treasure of pipes-ah, that takes a
very lifetime to acquire. Such deed
as yours, Dirk, is worthy of any re-
ward. What can do to repay your"
Raising himself on his elbow, Dirk

he signified to her father what reward

want Ankle? l have already told you
she was not for you, but-take her,
Dirk Van Pelt. She is yours. All, what
a collection Of pipes! What coloring!
What noble bowls and what grand
stemsw
"Ankie is worth all the pipes that
ever were made or ever will be made"
protested the happy lover, holding her
hand tightly in his own and gazing
adoringly into her tender blue eyes.
Perhaps so, perhaps So" muttered
Jan absently, ''but such pipes as
mine"- He turned and summoned a
man to help him carry the rack Of
matchless pipes to a place of safety
and left the lovers still looking happily
into each others eyes.

find a little furnished apartment that
would seem suitable for young cou-
pie with little money. Perceval grum-
bled disconsolately. II hate to put my
Jewel in such setting" he said.
"Tell her the truth" Randolph again
advised, "and you won't have to put
up with such cheap things"
But Perceval refused. The next
morning he met Annabel at the sta
ton, and together they went to the lit
tie cheap apartment, and here Annabel
wept on his shoulder.
Her account of the trouble at home
was somewhat vague, but she was en-
thusiastic over the thought Of heI
housekeeping. ''It will be lovely to
work for you," she said.
But Perceval found it anything but
lovely. He hated to see her soft white
hands in the dishwater. 1t made him
vince to see her bending over the
flaming stove, and even the joy of her
presence could not take away his sense
Of infinite guilt
And so he grew thin and pale and
worn.
"You are working too hard" Anna
bel said one night. And when he shook
his head drearily his little wife crept
out to the janitor's room and tele
phoned to some one.
"He is punished enough" was her
queer message. Cant you have him
go to his old quarters tonight and have
it overT'
The next night Perceval said to An
mabel: 81 have an engagement with
Randolph. You won't mind II leave
you, will you, dear?"
"Of course not" she acQuiesced. 81
can get along just this one time"
Randolph told him that he wished to
borrow some Of Perceval's books. 81
knew they were in your rooms, and l
thought you wouldn't mind coming
over" said he, 80 took the liberty Of
asking you to desert your wife for one
evening"
AS the two men entered the luxuri-
GUS quarters Perceval sighed. ITO think
Of my condemning Annabel to such
hideousness as that apartment we are
living ini" he said, leaning down to
turn on the low electric lamp on his
study table.
The light flared up and showed the
cozy room, the little fire already light
ed In the open CRATE, the blue fame
burning under the brass teakettle.
"Why, what| Perceval demanded,
like the big bear in the fairy tale.
"Who has been living in my roomf"
From behind a tall screen came a
little figure in white.
"Oh, Percevalr' cried Annabel and
threw herself in his arms.
And when Randolph had explained
that he had taken chances and had
written the truth to Percevaps little
wife and Annabel had explained that
she had known he was going to school
and not to work ever since she had
come to him. and, oh, didn't he know
that she would love him If he was
rich, Perceval drew a long breath Of
happiness.
81 don't deserve it." he confessed,
with his eyes shining, "and we can't
live In these rooms, Annabel But 4
am going to take my chances with
dad, and when he sees what dear
little, queer little thing you are he will
give in, and If he doesn't l can earn
