something about the whole affair
 which seemed mysterious to her. "TlI
 rate,' she decided, Papa will tell me
 what to do with it when he gets home.
 and Mamma will like to look at the things In the box. They are so pretty. E No sooner thought than done, and
 she rushed into the home intent on
 displaying her prize to her mother.
 'sI have got a box of pretty things
 said Go1die,, and | want you to see thena,'' so she laid the bundle on the
 table before her mother"
 Mrs. Lancaster was over whelmed
 With amazement at the. sight. She
 knew, far better than her daughter,
 the great value of the box and it's
 contents, and did not wish to retain
 them in the house over night.
 T hope your father will take them
 away to- night" she said. for I do not
 want them here for any length of time.
 They are very vaIuable but your father will know what to do with them, and 1 hope he will come soon."
 Putting them out of sight, she went on preparing this evening meal after cautioning Goldfe about the neighbor-
 hood
 | MT. Lancaster agreed with his wife
 that he did not wish to harbor the
 jewels over night. and decided to take
 them to the nearest police station. which he did as soon as possible.
 There he was told of daring burg
 larry, which had been reported to them,
 but it was feared that the thieves had
 escaped although the detectives were ! in hot pursuit of them. Much praise was lavished on Goldfe. and MT. Lam caster was told that she would prob ably hear before long from the owners of the box.
 The next mornings papers were f1H- ed with accounts of the bold robbery of a well-known residence in broad L daUlirrl1t aYid fha of fh<s l burglars. Goldie's share in the trans action was not overlooked, and praise 1 was accorded to her in no measured terms.
 As was predicted the owners Of the treasure were desirous of rewarding | her for her services. She protested ! that she wanted no reward, but they l insisted in their own decision and Goldie received sum of money which
 seemed a fortune to her. Her parents | placed it in bank to her credit. and l felt that she was we'll provided for, | should any disaster overtake them. Her i schOolmateS admired her courage, and
 more than one wished she had been ], the lucky finder of the treasure trove. But I never would have dared to 1 pick 1t up." exclaimed some What if l it had been dynamite or a dangerous | bomb But you always were lucky, l and deserve all you got by it. We are proud of your being in our class | Goldte f1odestiy dfsclafrned all merit 1 in the matter. and never referred to it l unless reminded of it. The owners of 1 the jewels were not 50 forgetfu1. They searched her out, and did for her many a kindness and made it possible for her 1 to enjoy many pleasure, which other
 wise would not have come into her way. They were ehildiess themselves, and would gladly have taken Goldie l for their own, but MT. Lancaster and ] his wife refused to part with their i darling Golden Glow.
 we cannot give up our child for
 any amount of gold" said they. Her | love is mere tet us than all else in the world. We named her Gofdie for her worth to us, and surely she deserves the name. Certainly we cannot spare l Goldie from eur lives. Golden Glow must always be eur aim to brighten our pathway to the end. as she has | in the past.
