What a Lltt's Seed Did.

In the city of Hanover, in Germany,
is an old neglected graveyard. Near
the entrance is a tomb in which lie
the remains of lady who belonged to
the old nobility, and who was buried
there about the middle of the last cen
fury. The tomb is covered with mas
sive blocks of stone. On one OF these
stones, besides the name of the lady
and the date of her death, there are
these words: This grave, bought for
all my time< must never be opened
But there are mightier forces than
heavy stones and iron clamps. A
little seed found lodging in the crevice
between two of the stones. 1t took
root and grew, until now there is an
immense birch tree waving its grace
full limbs over the tomb. Its roots
were through the grave, and the trunk
lifted the great stone and broke the
iron clamps; and the little seed had
opened the grave, for it's power was
greater than the stone and the iron!
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1911-03-09

The affair had its inception a year
after John Burton became the com
pany's president. 1t was intrusted to
his management for the Identical rea-
sons which had induced Robert Brant
. owner of big blocks of stock, to choose
him for the place; that is. ability to
handle and fidelity to trust.
And Brant had come to the gist of
his request without the formality of
preface.
Burton" he said, Il want you to
look up a young fellow, brainy, ener-
getic, honest, an all-around one, the
kind a girl would be sure to fancy"
There was no answer, and Brant,
full OF his plan, went on. There isn't
young man of my acquaintance that
l feel like intrusting my business to
when the. time comes to shift it, to
say nothing of my child!s happiness.
And might as we'll be frank, Bur.
ton, I'm afraid Jacie rather fancies
Scott Harvey. Not that | object to
Scott as man, you understand. It's
his age"
Chary of words, Burton nodded.
Now, you have a better way of
meeting and knowing young men than
!, and Tm-in rather a hurry-on
Scott Harney's account, you see"
Burton dropped his head in his
hands for minute Il think" he
said finally, that | know two who
would fill the bill One of them is my
sisters stepson, civil engineer, Croy
Perry. The other is a classmSte of
his, Thad Mosgrove, young fellow,
of excellent business ability, although
an artist. I'll invite them out for a
month. Mosgrove will--you can have
him paint Jacies portrait. and-yes, l
think we can manage It,"
Robert Brant was a keen reader of
men. His original judgment, augment
ed by daily observation, was certainly
high in Burton's favor, yet he was
vaguely conscious of lack of inter
est, halfheartedness, that gave him
twinge or two of disquiet
But the plan worked to a nicely

the invitation, and gratified to re-

UNCONVENTIONAL Puzzle,

The wife of a prominent Unitarian
clergyman is still wondering what her
cook meant She was new cook, and
there was every reason to believe she
was good cook AT any rate, she
had unQuestonably served in good
families, and she brought the best of
references, Nevertheless, her new
mistress did not hesitate TO give her
a few instructions
One thing want you to remem'

cook, confidently I'm get 1t right

families before"

please" traveller at one of the ho-
tells said to the mail clerk, Instead of
selling the stamps the mail clerk
pointed to a machine few feet away.
THAT machine will sell you stamps"
And the traveller dropped nickel in
to a slot and out popped two 2-cent
postage stamps.
1t is very simple and operated on
the order of gum slot machine.
There are two places in which to drop
coins. In both the amount must be a
scent piece. One receives for his
nickel either four 1-cent stamps or a
pair of 2-cent stamps,
In the same room of the hotel there
is a slot machine which sells thou
sand dollar accident insurance policy,
effective for twenty-four hours, and
the price is five cents. While some
persons doubt the wisdom of buying
this machine vending insurance, there
is one point in its favor-one's time
is not taken by an agent.
AS soon as the nickel goes into the
machine there is the clicking of a
spring which stamps the exact time
the policy is issued A handle is
turned and out comes the policy. The
person getting the policy must write
his name on the stub and separate it
where it says: Tear here" The stub
on which the name has been written
must be poked into a slot and then
the insurance is effective.
Automatic machines are almost as
old as civilization, but each year sees
some new machine added to the list.
The stamp and insurance vending de-
vices come under the new classified
ton. as do many others. For example
on Twenty-third street, in New York,
there is what is known as the Auto.
mat, restaurant where soup and al
most any food desired may be pur-
chased by contributing certain sums
! in a slot machine.

ceive attentions from men like Burton
and Brant. An introduction to Jacie
was matter of course, and the paint
ing of her portrait followed easily.
Every day saw them and Scott Har-
ney regular callers. Scott arrived as
they left or leaving as they came.
The portrait, however, did not pro-
gress. Burton and Brant comparing
notes, decided that this augured favor

IDENTIFY was the routine during those
frequent visits. If only Scott Harvey
could be eliminated the equation
would be quite satisfactory, Brant told
Burton.
Burton, however, refrained from eX-
pressing his views, and as the month
drew to its close with definite results,
Brants fear of failure led him to ques-
ton Burton as to his opinion, based
on his intimacy with his guests. But
Burton evaded the question. Perry
and Mosgrove had not made him their
confident.
Then 1t was that Brant decided up
on a coup. Burton should have an in
terview with Jacie, drawing from her,
without arousing her suspicion, her
preference. He himself, listener,
unsupported by both, would form his
conclusions from the conversation.
He made his plans with the great
est care. The coat closet should be
his coign of vantage. He was not
comfortable and the key had been re-
moved before Perry and Mosgrove
were shown in. Their remarks while
waiting for Jacie were interesting.
There was simply nothing to
paint" Mosgrove spoke in guarded
voice, but with the manner of one con-
tinuing a conversation. Outside of
an idiot asylum l never saw such va
cancy of expression. My opinion is
that she's less than half-witted.

But the difficulty was soon over, and
without embarrassment, Then they
were gone. but no sooner had the
latch clicked than Harvey spoke.
