And the child, My heart gave one
great bound, and then seemed to stop
beating. All in violet velvet and a
foam of lace and embroidery, with the
sunshine falling on her flower face and
long, yellow curls, she sat beside the
lame lady like some dainty lily; ay,
as If she had been born to all that lux
ury, and was only in her rightful
place. Observers in general would
have called her child Of birth and
breeding, a jewel of the patrician
world, fated neither to toll nor spin:
but l, Polly, the street waif, the beg
gar, knew that the desire of my heart
was granted at last, and that 1 was
looking again on my lost sister.
She had grown much in three years,
still she was the same, save for that
rich dress and high-born look.

roar of the thoroughfare drowned my

Not so with the lame lady.
Nan! Mani Mani" l called again,
and she started in the midst Of her
ease. Some unerring instinct guided
her eyes straight to mine as l pushed
very wheels. She grew deadly pale
an unspeakable alarm overspread her
pretty face. Her gloved hand sudden
ly clutched the lovely child at her
side.
Drive faster!" she said to the
coachman.
Instantly the blooded horses gave a
bound, and the shining landau was
gone in the crowd. / ran after it,
shrieking wildly.

Nobody heard. I was caught in
maze of pitiless wheels-horses plung-

warning shout; I think it was the
young fellow who had given me the

of the horses. heard him say:
"She is killed."
Another voice answered, irritably:
"She has only herself to blame for

Justice Harlan's Scarab.-"I W;


riding down Pennsylvania avenue in
car with Justice Harlan of the United
States supreme court" remarked
Charles Francis Bedloe of Missouri,
and after admiring the fine old man
whose portraits we see in the Capitol
| could not help noticing the fine scar
alb that he wears as a scarfpin.
Il have looked over the senator's and
other members of the supreme court
and have not noticed that any other
one of them wears a scarab pin They
may have them at home, but Justice
Harlan wears one that would attract
an expert. The genuine ones are be-
coming rare, and that is why the Har-
Ian scarfpin would be noticed.
ITO tell the truth, the genuine ones
are scarce enough, so great has been
the demand for them, but the mu-
seums have great collections that will
never be broken up for the sake of
scarfpins. Washington Post.

MAKING BETTER.
Merely to Make Good Is Not Doing All
That One Should.

That One Should.
There is one thing better than to
make good, and that is to make better.
The world is a constantly improving
world it has not simply remained
good. We can see this If we recall
how naturally we say, this Is the fin
est sunset or cloud effect or most glor-
ious full moon I ever saw" or course
this is not altogether true, but there Is
a greater truth underneath-namely,
that in nature there is something so
determined to make good that she
seems to us to be doing better than
before To make good is not enough.
The same thing is seen in other
places. No president even went to
Washington but that he honestly be-
leved he could in some respect do bet
ter than the president before him, not
merely keep what had been done. Ana
each president is right in thinking
this, for in this business of making
better each of us has something TO
contribute that no one else possesses
For ordinary people it is a great en-
couragement to remember that, no
matter how many great ones precede
us, there is still a way for us first to
make good and then to make better.
The way is just to give ourselves to
the thing we are doing. Our self is
brand new thing. No one else ever
had it before. A boy who learns his
lessons because of a sense Of duty only
may indeed make good, so far as marks
are concerned, but the secret of educa-
ton comes only to the one who studies
because he has learned to thoroughly
enjoy it, The first makes good; the
second makes better. And the second
alone gets the fun out of the game OF
securing knowledge.-George Law
renee Parker in st. Nicholas.
