One woman who looked from a stage
box on the grand tier at Rayland
through a dainty pair OF mother Of
pearl cased opera glasses, looked not
with love, but with laughter. Her
beautiful eyes slate blue, long SHAPED,
black browed and heavily lashed
brimmed with it as she gazed at the
| uEtidy giant in the seedy evening
clothes. His crumpled shirt front " as

fair, inherited from a deceased aunt
! with central spinel ruby of no prize
at all, and a border of small, bilious
looking pearls, and searched in his
waistcoat for it, and in the gaping
depths its absence revealed finally
or the red carpet under his knees, the
watchers delight knew no bounds.
What a Colossus, and how badly
dressed" she calculated, Then her
features sOftened and her tone became
mellower, for the Colossus had locke i

He reward the Wake, in old-fash-
toned and basely fitting evening
clothes occurred to her as a eompari-
son. She murmured What a dearr'
and sighed a little. IF he has a wife,
or a sister even. she might at least

of his broad, muscular shoulders and

by big, impatient hand.

the owner Of the slate blue eyes and
the silken locks of chestnut brown
hair. But 1 don't beblieve he has Gor

such untidiness and something touch

Rayland looked up. The great. brit
liant gray eyes under the young mans
broad, fair eyebrows, encountered tie
slate blue ones with their plying
gleam

tirued. the bristly headed one, resting
his chin on the stall back, and aiming
his voice at Raylands ear.
Rayland's great shoulders had
moved, that was all. The lights wen,
down, then the curtain went up and
the first act of the new play began.
The man behind Rayland breathed
through his nose. Rayland, his eyes
glued upon the stage, found hims elf

a thrill of sickening disgust volted
through Rayland's big frame. A point

~ ENJAAIIN FRANKLIN'S family
- came from Northamptonshire,
- England They were laborers
and tradesmea in country villages.
Josiah Franklin, the founder OF the
American line, came to New England
in 1885 with a wife and three children.
Four years later he had seven childreh
and lost his wife. Six months later ne
married Abiah Folger and to this union
were born ten children, of whom the
renowned Benjamin, born in Boston
January 6. 17o6. was the youngest
who outlived all the rest
Franklin's objection to his father
long prayers and the suggestion that
he make a wholesale grace over the
porkbarrel shows that early the lad re-
volted from the faith Of his parents
who were severely religious
After such a brief time at school as
the father could afford, he took him in
to his own shop to learn the business OF
a candlemaker, but Ben soon showed
his dislike to cutting wpeks hanging
dips and casting soap His father DID
not force him to remain. An elder
brother James, had gone into the
printing business, having learned the
trade in London, and to him Ben was
sent as an apprentice. He was apt al
the case" but self-willed and refused
obedience to his superiors.
James Franklin in 1919 published the
Boston Courant, the third paper pup
lished in America. After time 1t be-
came so virulent in itst attacks on
church and ministers that Franklin
was forbidden to publish 1t in his name.
Benjamin then undertook to do so, but
soon there was quarrel between the
brothers and they separated.
Ben now made his way to New York
but finding no work continued on to
Philadelphia, where he landed with
only s125 in his pocket. Here he OBJ
tanned a job with a printer. Sam Keim-
er. Governor Keith undertook to
finance the youth in setting him UP for
himself in the printing business. The
governor sent him to London to pur-
