thing like that?"
Bless your heart, not in a thou
sand yearsl I'm a pretty wise man in
some ways. and they know It,"
And so 1t proved to be. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Mortimer greeted them at
the pier In Hoboken. One glance at
the face OF the girl was sufficient Mrs.
Mortimer held out her arms. 1t was
very fine thing to do.
II was in doubt at first" she said
frankly. George Is so guileless. But

smile.
Shyly Fortune accepted the en-
brace. Never had she been SO happy.
Never had she felt arms like these
about her.
What did he cable your" she asked
In whisper.
SThat he loved you and wanted me
to mother you against that time when
he might have the right to take you
as his own. Has he that right7"
Yes. And OIL he is the bravest
and tenderest man know; and below
1t all he is only boy"
Mrs. Mortimer patted her hand. A
little while later all four went over
to the city and drove uptown to the
Mortimer home. On the way Fortune
told her story, simply. without avoid
ing any essential detail. And all her
new mother did was to put an arm
about her and draw ker closer.
The Mortimer home was only three
blocks away from Georges. So, when
dinner was over. George declared that
he would run over and take a look at
his own house. He wanted to wander
about the rooms a bit, to fancy how
1t would look when Fortune walked
at his side. He promised to return
within an hour. He had forgotten
many things. ordinarily important;
such as wiring his agent, his butler
and cook. who were still drawing their
wages. He passed along the street
above which was his own. He paused
for moment to contemplate the
great banking concern. And the pres
ident of this bank was the elder
brother of Ryanne! Lots OF queer
kinks in the world; lots Of crooked
turnings. He passed on. turned the
corner, and strode toward his home,
ran up the steps. Three doors below
ecstasy thrilling his heart. Lightly hs
noticed two automobiles. He gave
them only cursory glance. He took
out his ring of keys, found the night
latch and thrust 1t into the keyhole.
He never had believed in this putting
up Of iron gates and iron shutters. A
night-latch and caretaker who came
round once a day was enough for any
sensible person. He turned the key.
Eth? 1t didn't seem to go round. He
tried several times. but without sue
cess. Puzzled, he struck match and
stopped before the keyhole.
1t was new one.

Anne Whitney in many ways is.
the most successful woman sculptor
America has ever produced. She was
born in WATERFOWL, Mass, in 1921,
and at an early age showed a marked
talent for modelling and drawing.
Her first studio was the fields of her
fathers farm, where entirely unaided
she worked out in clay the artistic
impressions that came to her young
mind. Before she had taken any les
sons in sculpture she worked out an
ambitious figure, called Ethiopia or
Africa, which, though lacking in the
style and finish that marked her
other works shows a richness of
imagination that gave great promise.
Encouraged by her friends. Anna de-
cided to go abroad to study, but be-
fore she went she ruthlessly de-
stroyed all the figures she had ever
produced-to show that though her
friends might be satisfied with them
her ambition was of higher order.
Her work abroad brought out
wonderful results. Among the first
great productions from her modelling
tools was a figure of Samuel Adams.
for the capitol at Washington, 4
replica of which is to be seen in
Adams square, in Boston. Another
much admired work is the statue Of
Harriet Martineau, to be seen at
Wellesley College. At the entrance

1T have always been very sorry
that the United States laws made 1t
necessary for President Grant to
withdraw his nomination of Mr..
Stewart for secretary of the treasury
at the beginning of the generals first
administration.
MIR. Stewart was not only mar
velous retailer, but he was also
wonderfully adept financier. He had
no credit because he did not ask for
any. He always paid all his bills in
cash and thereby got the beneft OF
discounts. He used to argue with
some of the great merchants OF New
York in favor of doing business IN
this way, although the general i'm
preston among competent business
men was that the better way is for
business men to do a part of their
business upon borrowed funds IN the
form of bank discounts.

He was one of the greatest and

his habit to watch customers and to

How little many of us realizze the
power there is in harmony! 1t makes
all the difference in the world In our
life-work whether we are balanced
and serene, or are continually
wrought up full of discords and err
rors, and harassed with all sorts OF
perplexing, vicious things. II we
could only learn the art OF always
keeping ourselves in harmony we
could multiply our effectiveness i'm
measurably.
Have you ever watched a1centrifu-
gal wringer in a laundry? 1t wabnies
so badly when 1t first begins to re-
volve that 1t seems as though 1t would
tear itself to pieces, but gradually,
as the velocity increases, the motion
becomes steadier, and the machine
speeds with lightning rapidity on its
centre. When it once gains its per-
feet balance nothing seems to dis

turb it, although when it first began
to revolve the least thing made 1t
wabble.
A thousand and one trifies which
disturb one who has not found his
mental centre do not affect the
poised, self-centred soul at all. Even
great things, panics, crisis, failures,
fires, the loss of property or friends,
disasters of any kind, do not throw
him off his balance. He has found
his centre, his equilibrium, and no
longer vacillates between hope and
despair.
The poised soul Is SO intrenched in
the calm of eternal harmony that he
is beyond the reach of disaster or the
fear of it. conscious that he so rests
IN the great arms of Infinite love and
perfection that nothing can harm
him, because he lives, moves and has
his being in eternal truth. Such a
great serene soul is like a huge ice
berg, balanced by the calm in the
depths of the sea. 1t laughs at the
giant waves which beat against it's
sides and the storms which lash 1t.
They do not even cause 1t tremor,
because its huge bulk which enables
1t to ride calmly and serenely with
out perturbation when dashed by the
ocean fury is poised in the perpetual
calm in the depths below.

is now adopted in every great store
the bargain counter. One day. Mr..
Stewart patrolled one of the aisles
of his store two or three times. look
ing intently at one of the counters
on which a certain line of goods was
offered for sale.
"He noticed that no customer APP
peared before that counter. He paced
back and forth for more than an hour,
and still no customer came to in
quire about these goods. At last he
asked one of the clerks what the
matter with these goods was, why
there seemed to be no sale for them.
and the reply was, Mr.. Stewart, they
don't seem to CO.
".Well, I'll make them go!' he re-
piled. He caused several long tables
to be brought and placed conspicu-
ously in one of the main aisles. Then
he had this entire stock of goods
dumped helter-skelter upon these
tables. He had signs painted show
ing that these were special bargains.
and that the goods would be sold at
cost or less. Within an hour those
tables were thronged. Within two
days every article was sold. Mr..
Stewart thereupon began to display
goods that were of slow sale upon
bargain counters, as he called them,
and in that way he converted speedily
a slow-selling commodity into cash.
There wasn't a merchant in New
York at that time who wouldn't haze

ton that he dump lot of slow-sell-
ing goods upon a table, and then, by
attractive signs, announce that they

THE Lord our God will we serve.
and his voice will we obey" Here
was definite decision. Our peril is
that we spend our life In wavering
and we never decide. We are like a

do much thinking, but we never make

Now people who never decide spend
their days in hoping to do SO. But

We drift through our days, we do
not steer, and we never arrive at
any rich and stately haven.
