HER MOMENT or PERFECT Joy
Little Girl Got What She Wanted
When She Wanted II, and
Therein Lies a Moral.

A girl wearing a gay bit of golden
rod in her coat was hurrying through
the crowded railroad station of an
eastern city one evening, when she
was stopped by q thin little hand
thrust up toward her through the
dusk. and child's cry, Lady, give
me that flower"
II was not plea. II was not re-
quest. II was demand and the
flower was In the child's hands. the
happiness of her sad little face had
flashed close for an instant and the
quick feet had scurried away into the
darkness before the girl who had
worn the goldenrod had time 10 look
or think, to give or 10 refuse.
The flower had grown on a rock by
the sea. 1t was still wet with the mist
from the waves and the sunset glow
was reelected in its gold. Perhaps the
child had never particularly noticed
the sun. for. except when It was above
the tall buildings. she could not have
seen It. But the desire of all the world
for the sun and the open sea was in
her voice. Perhaps she was a very
ordinary little girl. who grew up to be
little bigger and then worked in
factory, and liked to walk up and
down the streets with the other girls
and show OF her cheap gay clothes.
She probably married. and had several
little girls like herself, and was always
tired and poor. but. as far as she
knew. happy enough.
All that makes very little differ
ence, At least 1t Is the way things
are. The important thing is that once
she wanted something very much, ard
got What she wanted when she wanted
1t. II. is good to want things whether
we get them or not. II is better to get
them. 1t is best of all to get them
when we want them. This was no
common desire such as most of us
have every day. 1t was so strong and
true and imperative that tiny girl
foug ht her way through great crowd
of people and without thought or fear
took flower from girls coat. No
matter what happened to her after
that. she had one moment of perfect
JOY. Perhaps the girl from whose
coat she tore the flower may have
had all good things for hers, but may
never have known the Joy because she
never knew that want.

ENDED IN DEATH FOR BOTH
onlooker Graphically Describes Duel
Between Powerful Grizzly Bear
and Active Puma.

When the grizzly saw the puma his
wicked little dark eyes glowed sud
denly red, and he came up with a
numbering rush, writes Charles @. D.
Roberts in the Ladies' Home Journal.
With his gigantic furry bulk 1t look
ed as If he must instantly annihiiate
he slim. slight creature that opposed
him. II was a dreadful place to give
battle. on that straight shelf OF rock
oyerhanging a sheer drop Of perhaps
a thousand feet. But scorn and rage
together blinded the sagacity OF the
bear. With a grunt he charged.
Not till the bear was within ten
feet OF her did the crouching puma
stir. Then, with a harsh screech, she
shot into the air as II hurled upward
by the release OF a mighty spring.
Quick as fash the grizzly shrank
backward upon his launches and
swept up a huge black paw to parry
the assault. But he was not quite
quick enough. The pumas spring
overreached his guard. She landed
fairly upon his back, facing his tail.
In the fraction Of second she had
whirled about and was tearing at his
throat with teeth and claws. while
the terrible taIons OF her hindpaws
ripped at his tanks.
With a roar Of agony and amaze
ment the grizzly struggled to shake
off the, puma, clutching and striking
at her with paws that at one blow
could smash in the skull OF the most
powerful bull. But he could not reach
her. Then he reared up and threw
himself backward against the face OF
the rock, striving to crush her under
his enormous weight. And in this he
almost succeeded Just In time she
writhed around outward-but not
quite far enough, for one paw was
caught and ground to pulp But at
the next instant, thrust back from the
rock by his own effort, the bear top
pied outward over the brink OF the
shelf. Graphing madly TO save him.
self he caught only the bowed ioins
OF the puma, who now sank her teeth
once more into his throat, while her
rendlng claws seemed to tear him
everywhere at once. He crushed her
in his grip: and, In dreadful ball Of
screeching. roaring, biting, mangling
rage, the two plunged downward into
the dim abyss.
