When they came into the street the
/ money lender hailed a passing cab and
cried to the driver: Drive this gentle
man to Wyndham hospital but hurry
up. He is sick"
He helped Jobklns into the cab, shook
his hand and expressed the hope OF
seing him sound and happy in six
months. The cab sped away and Har-
pert went into the house with a deep
sigh of relief.
Less than five minutes later he
rushed out. his face distorted with ex-
element, ran TO the nearest cab and
jumped into a taXtcab. -

The cab barely stopped when he

The Herald's
Daily Short Story

No. Mr.. Jobkins. it is my principle
never to lend more than half the value
so 1 will give you 40 pounds
But 1 must have more than that !
would not sell the cross for less than
100 pounds, so suppose you lend me %
not a penny less or 1 shall have to
go somewhere else.
Harpert considered The man was
evidently very hard up. 1t was more
than likely he would be unable TO pay
back so pounds in six months and
then-'His, fingers caressed the gems
which he almost considered his own al
ready. Well he said, Il will let you
have the money on one condition, the
only condition on which l am in the
habit of doing business of this kind Il
is today the 10th of May, and it is 6
o'clock. If you do not redeem the pledge
by o'clock on the 10th of November
the cross Is mine
But that is very hard. Surely you
will allow me TO renew the loan when
1 pay the interest"
Il am very sorry, sir, but 1 am a
business man and have my own rules
OF business. After all il is merely a
matter of form. Surely you will be able
to raise the money in time and to show
you that 1 do not want to be hard on
you 1 will charge you only 10 per-
cent instead OF the usual Is"
Jobkins lowered his eyes, that Mr..
Harpert should not see the impression
his generous offer made upon him. He
seemed to hesitate and repeatedly
wiped his forehead as if it cost him a
struggle to reach a decision At last
he drew a deep sigh and said: Well.
accept your offer. Six months from
today you get your money and l get
back my emerald cross"
Good, 1 will make out the ticket.

Thank you, sir
Mr.. Harperts pen flew across the
paper He handed his client the ticket
and went over 10 his safe. and returned
with number of banknotes. Jobkins
counted the money carefully and put 1t
ii his large well worn pocketbook,
which he placed in his inside vest
pocket.
AS he turned to go. he gave a stiffled
cry and fell heavily forward Mr.. Har-
pert rushed to his assistance
What is the matter, sir?"
The thought that the man might die
in his office terrified him. That would
mean the coroner and q police investi-
cation He shook his client vigorously
DUST give me a little water" the
other groaned. Harpert placed him In
a easy chair and rushed into the kftch-
en- behind the office. When he re-
turned with a glass of water he found
Jobkins looking a trifle less pace. He
swallowed the water eagerly.

He stood near the door nervously turn
ing his hat between his fingers
Il hope 1 have made no mistake. You
are John Harpert," he almost whis-
pered.
Il am, sir, L am. What can 1 do for
you?"
Il have had streak of bad luck.
the other stammered.
And you want to sell something
That happens in the gest of families.
If 1 would tell all 1 know, London

me. What do you want to sell?'
The stranger raised his hand: "Oh,
something My luck will change and
then 1 hope to redeem this precious
heirloom"
The pawnbroker nodded.
Let me see it," he said
Slowly. as If still hesftating, the man
drew an oblong Morocco case from his
pocket, the case was evidently very old
and worn, and as he handed it over he
turned his face away, as if the felt
ashamed of what he was doing.
Mr.. Harpert carefully adjusted his
spectacles before he opened the case,
but this air of careleSsness changed as
soon as he caught sight of the con-
tents. On the white velvet was resting
a cross of emeralds, beautifully cut
skuare emeralds of unusual size, the
like of which he had not seen for many
years.
The stranger watched him keenly.
They are beautiful, are they not"
he said in his soft low voice, and 1
am sure you will understand me, when
/ say, that it cuts my heart to part
with them if only for a few months.
Harpert nodded in silence, his eyes
Still fascinated by the wonderful gems,
and he asked himself how this plainly
dressed man happened to be in posses
sion Of such priceless jewels. Perhaps
he had stolen them, If he lent him
anything on them, he might get into
trouble with the police. and he had his
own reason not to want the eyes of the
law TO investigate his business.
On the other side, if the man told the
truth, and it was not unlikely he did,
lie knew he would make a snug sum, if
the pledge was not redeemed in time.
How much do you think 1t is
worth the stranger interrupted his
train of thought and Harpert at once
became the shrewd, cool business man.
'Oh, about 40 pounds, / should

1.-TWO robust and healthy children
are now attracting attention, be-
cause they have been reared on
scientific principles.
One is lad whose father is a pro-
fessor in Harvard; and he rs an intel
lectual marvel; knowing sciences and
languages and the lore of graybeards,
while yet in his teens
The little girl is only eight years old,
and she speaks many languages, and
has already a better education than
most college graduates.
The parents of these two children say
that the result has been obtained by
systematic training of the children,
from the very first year of birth
Nothing useless was taught either
the boy or girl; no time was wasted
in meaningless play but time and play
were directed to educational ends.
Organized Play
The writer recalls seeing Child of
three some years ago whose father had
begun TO train him on similar lines.
The very first week of the baby's life
he was made to listen to the scale and
major and minor chords Of music. These
were played several times during the
day while the child was awake, and diff
ferent colors were displayed for "a brief
moment before his eyes.
When the boy was old enough TO play
with blocks, he was trained from the
start to. form mathematical combina-
lions. and in a brief time he had ac-
CURED an elementary knowledge of
numbers. of addition, subtraction and
multiplication
His ear was marvelously exact in
music and his color sense was highly
developed
But the boy did not know, that he was
learning He thought he had been play
ing all this time.
A vast amount of time has been lost,
as we'll as other harm done to children,
by Mother Goose Tales" and nonsense
rhymes.
Historical facts, important dates and
principles and ideals can be taught chill
dred by setting them to lifting music
and putting them into jingling rhymes
A child may as we'll learn that Co
lumbus discovered America i'm 1892. or
some fact connected with science or
history as to learn that Richard and
Robert were two young men who went
to bed when the clock struck ten; and
the story of Benjamin Franklin. or
Abraham Lincoln. might be made just
as amusing. if properly told, as that OF
the man who jumped into the bramble
bush or the cow that jumped over the
moon.
There are a hundred historical char
acters who would afford better material
for good stories than Red Riding Hood,
and leave the child interested, and not
trembling with fear after they were
told.
A Prophecy.
These children who are now at

USERS OF Water
Want MORE time

Buford, N, D., Sept. 15,--Water users
under the Buford-Trenton government
irrigation project adopted resolutions
similar to those adopted by the yell
lowstone Water Users association of
Montana, at meeting held in this
city, by reason of the cancellation of
certain water rights by the federal au-
thorities.
The principal purpose of the meeting
was to determine what action might
be advisable in restoring to landown-
ers their water rights. The season has
been a poor one and In order Ia allie
viate the situation the water users are
hopeful of securing new rulings from
the government with reference to the
payment of taxes for the water rights
and for the work OF construction, which
seemingly has cost much more than
original estimates allow for.
In December a payment is due the
government on the lands and 1t is to
defer the levying Of this assessment
that landowners are holding meetings
They favor a graduated plan of pay-
Ing, that Is. they would have the as
sessment for 1911 cover an amount Just
large enough to care for the operating
expenses, and then in the following
years they would be willing to meet
an increased assessment which would
pay for the construction work
Settlers in the irrigated district
came here with but a small amount of
capital. They cannot mortgage their |
lands, and thus the only manner in |
which they can secure money is on |
on which they must pay 1s |
per cent.
One thing the settlers hope to ae-
is that Of evading litigation
Of any kind, inasmuch as any measures
Of that nature would entail additional |
expense which would only serve to in |
crease the hardships under which MANY |
are now laboring.
