The truth is rarely palatable. They
who would bring overmuch truth tn

usually corrected after the manner of
young Jones.
Young Jones. a cub reported on the
Cinniminson Scimitar, wound up an
article about town meeting with the
words:

The last speaker was our eminent

= WAS reading last mite, said Ma.
about a wunderful lake in South
America that has a vast amount Of
precious stones & gold buried down
| in the bottom of IT. The story sed
that sum of them old sunworshipers
throed all thare dimonds & perls and
| gold in the lake for a kind of a sacri-
flee. & 1T told how thousands of doll
/ lars has been spent BY modern ad-
venturers trying to find the treshur
at the bottom of the lake
| Did anybody find it? sed Pa.
| Oh. they found a few thousand
dollars worth after thay had spent
about two hundred thousand dollars
trying. sed Ma, but the bottom of the
laik was full of mud, about thirty
feet of mud. & thay had to give 1T up.
shud think thay wud, sed Pa. It
must be kind OF tuff job to look for
a four karat dimond In thirty feet Of
mud on a lake bottom
guess thare wasent so much of a
fortune put thare in the first place.
sed Ha. I doant believe the peepul
in them days had many diamonds.
Thare wifes wuddent have much use
for them unless thay hung them
around thare necks, Sc / doant sup
poas thare was any good society then
anyhow. Dimonds wuddent be much
use If thare wasent good society.
BUT the men was wise peepul then.
jest the saim, sed Pa. I suppoas the
husbands found these dimonds & thot
it over and fggered that it wud be a
whole lot better to throw them into
a lake than to hang them on thare
monds, Pa sed, but she isent libel to
do so much housework If she has
many of them.
Nobody but q idiot wud throw di-
monds away like that, sed Ma
I am not so sure. sed Pa. Thare
are moar dimonds being worn by
wimmen now than in the old days.
but a lot OF them are waring them
out in Reno. Our fathers dident buy
tilare wifes dimonds, Pa sed, but thay
managed to stay acquainted with eech
other & lived together till thay died.
The moar I think of 1T, sed Pa, the
moar / think Of them old sun wor-
shippers had the right dope. If L
thought that giving my wife two di-
monds was going to maik her dis
contented & want four, I wud rather
throw them into 80 feet of mud or
eeven 60.s
/ am perfeckly happy with my one
dimond ring. sed Ma.
You are a excepshunal girl, Pa sed.
Look at yung. Blake, that got mar
ried last yeer. He bought his wife
dimond & a perl, & she CAIN hoam
crying one day beekaus she cuddent
have a pigeon blood ruby. So he
bought her a pigeon blood ruby that
cost him nearly six months income &
then she wanted a emerald necklace.
He had as much chanst to buy her
emerald necklace as he had to take
running broad jump acrost the Pan
anna canal, but she kept at him until
they began to disagree, q now thay
have drifted apart. guess yung
Blake wishes right now that all the
precious stones In the wurld were
beneath lake. sunk in the mud.
I think Mas eyes are nicer than
dimonds, when her eyes sparkel., I

Sometimes. sed Pa. but it depends
on how they sparkel.

! the truth was that his childhood was
passed SO much In his mothers conf
pany, and they were so inseparable
during the last two years, that memo
ries of his father were shadowy.
Yet the physiognomist would have
seen that the boy owed great deal
Of his strength OF character and well
knit frame to the handsome, stalwart
man whose name he bore.
Philip loved his mother on the COM
pensating principle that persons of
opposite natures often have an over
powering affinity for each other. He
resembled her neither in features nor
In the more subtle traits of character.

would admit of none. He fastened to
Farringdon road with the utmost

up the shutters of his shop.
The restaurant next door was open.
Philip approached quietly.

holding out his hand.

grocer, his eyes revealing not the re-

the derelict from Johnson's News in
the Pail Mall hotel, the most luxuri-
Gus and expensive establishment in
London.
That afternoon Philip visited the
SaIe Deposit company. He had little
dimculty, of course, In securing a
small strongroom He encountered
the wonted surprise of his youth, but
the excellent argument of a banking
account and the payment OF a years
rent in advance soon cleared the air
He transferred four of his port
manteaux to this secure environ
rnent-the fifth was sent to his hotel.
When the light faded he drove to
the East End and made a round of
pawn brokers' shops. Although SON,
OF the tickets were time expired. he
recovered nearly all his mothers be-
longings, excepting her watch.
The odd coincidence recalled the

own brain, but OF other mems.
At the hotel he found the French
valet setting forth a shirt. The man
explained that he required a spare set
of studs and links.
This reminded Philip that there
was still good deal of shopping to
be done. He was about to leave the
room for the purpose, when the valet
said:
Another portmanteau has arrived
for monsieur. VIII you be pleased
TO unlock it?''
No" said Philip. 1T must remain
untouched" He smiled at the thought
OF the sensation his tattered rags and
worn boots would make in that place.
Yet just week ago he passed through
the street outside, bound In the pitt
less rain for Johnsons News and bent
on suicide.
MORE SHOPPING
He walked into Regent street and
made number Of purchases, not for
getting some books. A double silver
mounted photograph stand caught his
eye. 1t would hold the two best pic
tures he possessed OF his father and
mother, so he bought It. He also ac-
quired a dispatch box In which he
could store his valuables. both jew
elry and documents, for he had quite
a number of receipts, letters and other
things to safeguard now. and he did
not wish servants prying eyes to ex-
anime everything belonging to him.
When alone in his room he secured
the album and locked that special
portmanteau again, after slowing
therein the letters found beneath Mrs.
Anson's pillow. Soon his mothers
dear face smiled at him from beau
tiful border of filigree silver. The
sight was pleasant to him, soothing to
his full mind. In her eyes was a
message of faith, OF trust, OF absolute
confidence in the future,
1t was strange that he thought SO
little of his father at this time, but
