Between
Ourselves

"This," grumbled a Forest
Hill woman, sis the result of my
spending my husbands good,
hard-earned money going to
New York, when | should have
done my shopping right here in
Newark"
Suiting the action to the word,
she drew from her hand bag a
sample of linen which she said
had faded badly after it was
washed.
"This linen was guaranteed
fast color, but when | took it
back, while satisfaction was not
exactly refused, they made il so
unpleasant for me that ! de-
termined then and there not to
purchase another dollars worth
of goods at that store. wish
to see if can match it at your
store"
Now comes the INTEREST
ING part of the story.
Mrs. - not only
found a perfect match for the
material, but what is MORE TO
THE POINT, our price was
exactly fifteen cents yard less
than she had been compelled to
pay in New York.
1t is needless to say that the
Forest Hill customer has re-
nounced forever her eXtravagant
New York shopping habits.
This is but one case out of
many. We could fill our "Be-
tween Ourselves" column each
night with stories of this kind.
We hear them every day.

STRANGE RECOVERY OF BOY
Letter Of Sympathy From Walter
johnson, Noted Pitcher, Works
Miracle With Washington Lad.

Warren A. Slee, thirteen years old,
lay sick for weeks, and, according to
Washington dispatch, physicians
said they did not think he would re-
cover. Then the lad went into delir-
ium and talked Of Walter Johnson, the
speed king" among the pitchers of
the American league. He had been
the boys idol. the man of men before
whom this lad had stood secretly in
awe. and when the mind was free the
Idol Of his worship spoke to him.
When the team came back to Wash
ington from its western trip, a men,
ber Of the boys family had intuitive
sense enough to seek out the pitcher
and tell him what the doctors said.
Naturally Mr.. Johnson wanted to 90
to the boys bedside, but the physi-
clans said no, that the excitement
would be fatal.
So he wrote this letter, and 1t was
read to the boy In an interval Of de-
hrium:
my Dear Warren-I take pleasure
in sending you herewith one of the
and hope that you will soon have the
opportunity Of using 1t with your
friends"
Pills, powders and surgery had
failed, but an idol worked another
miracle. AS II touched by the gods Of
old, there was an immediate change
for the better, and within a remark
ably short space of time the boy left
the hospital and was able to use the
baseball. The primitive mind had
been allowed to work.
Many noted writer's have tried in
vain to describe the psychology of
miracles such as these remarks the
New York Sun. Kipling and his
"Brushwood Boy" Kenneth Grahame
and his Colder Age" have essayed
to explain the mind Of boy, but 1t can
not be done. All that we know is,
as Thackeray says, that every boy at
a stage In his life has some idol. OF
course, the idols change, eventually
becoming feminine. Yet If our learn
ed uplifters would seek to learn the
name or nature of each boys idol,
and work through 1t, instruction in
moral hygiene and eugenics would be-
come obsolete That way progress
lies. If an idol can save life 1t can
90 other things, for 1t represents the
boys ambition at its best and most
impressionable period.
And what matter the form the idol
takes? 1t may be, as 1t often Is, a
locomotive engineer, drum major, a
baseball pitcher; through the hero
worship Of these exalted beings the
boys salvation lies. Text books on
biology were never intended for the
primitive mind.

few days with Astra. She consent,
ed, and when they were alone asked
what had become of the assassin who
had sought Astra's life. Napoleon
could give her no information except
that he was in prison.
Almost every mail brought the
countess letters from Europe, among
which was another from the Count
Won Werdenstein.
The cleverly worded contents Of
that message conveyed the informa-
tion that Napoleon was interested in a
piece Of land belonging to the Schom-
burg Lithow princedom. Rositta was
requested to find the reason for his
interest. AS soon as she was ready
to cast the bomb that would destroy
peace the reward she might ask would
be hers.
All this harmonized with her plans,
and she looked forward to the next
trip to Ciryne with Santos.
There was reception at the Crys-
tai Palace that evening for the diplo-
matte corps Of the countries repre-
sented at the capital. 1t brought back
the days before the isolation. Uni
forms glittered, orders of valor and
distinction were exhibited by the Eu-
ropeans, who seemed to hold to their
traditions; the barbaric splendor Of
the Orient mingled with the simple
evening dress of the Americans, for
simplicity characterized every Ameri-
can citizen.
When Astra appeared she was her
self the greatest Jewel.
A concert was arranged for the en-.
tertainment of the DISTINGUISHED
guests.
The Countess Rosiny and Mr.. Hale
sat near each other; he was dreamily
enjoying the wonderful mellow con-
tralto voice.
An attendant whispered: "A mes
senger wants to see your ladyship."
Quietly she withdrew from the hall.
Ambrosio Hale looked after her. He
had seen the changing expression on
her face. and shook his head doubt
fully a. he watched her leave.
A man awaited the countess in q
small reception room; he wore the

CHAPTER XIV.


IONGs
When Rositta regained conscious
ness she looked around for the Trap
pist monk whom she had called
Robert. At first, when she saw no
one, she felt as though she had had a
dream, but she felt the package in
her bosom and she knew that 1t was
no dream.
She did not weep. Her eyes were
dry and hard. She slowly unwrapped
that medallion and looked at that lock
Of glossy hair. The portrait of her
own child and a lock from her head!
She repressed her feelings resolutely
and left the room with firm step.
She passed through several rooms,
nodding now and then to the people
she met, until at last she arrived at
her own door.
She entered and locked the door.
and sank into chair; not to give way
to her sorrow and sob, not to pray for
consolation, but to curse the cruel
fate that had robbed her of her only
child, the only pure, clean, innocent
thing in her life.
She looked at the clear, smiling eyes
gazing at her from the exquisite little
portrait. Still she did not weep; her
mouth was tightly closed, and the
corners slightly dropped.

hissed to the invisible foe. you

clenched hand toward that phantom
pictured in her brain. But you can.

one being whom l loved unselfishly,
whom / wanted with me always, yet
would not let her live in my atmos-
phere. because l wanted her to be all
that l was not. And now she is
gone!" She groaned in anguish.
God! Are you the God of Love
that Christ told Of, or are you the
vengeful, terrible God who vents his
wrath till the seventh generationT
You have taken my love; now my
heart is black and empty of all save
hatred"
She became calm; her pale face was
expressionless, her movements meas
ured.
Nobody shall know that l have

ror and looked at herself. "But mil
lions shall suffer. I-will-make the
whole world suffer for my loss.

black cassock of Trappist monk. an
ancient order that still existed in a
few of the European countries.
His face resembled that Of the
Countess Rosiny to en- extraordinary
degree.
When she saw him she uttered one
word: Robert" He motioned for
her to step nearer. and she obeyed.
The pale padre brought from under
his robe a small parcel and unfolded
1t. 1t contained a small locket with
a fine chain Of gold. Fine miniatures
were on either side, and pressed be-
tween was a curl of black, glossy hair.
bound with a narrow black ribbon.
One portrait was Rositta's. The 9TH
er was a little girls.
In pantomime the monk told Rositta
that he had brought this to her at the
request of the little girl. She watched
him stupidity, seeming unable to grasp
his meaning. At last 1t came over
her with a rush and she grasped the
monks arm convulsively.
Brother. what has happened to her
to my-my daughter?
The monk slowly raised his right
hand heavenward.
Rositta gave one shrek and fell
fainting.
The monk picked his sister up and
placed her tenderly on the sofa, then
he wrapped the locket and chain in its
silk covering and placed 1t carefully
in the bosom of her dress.
His large eyes rested somberly on
Rositta. and a sigh escaped his lips
He crossed himself and, with a last
glance at the silent woman, departed

He went up high in the air and ad-
3usting the electro-stylograph, with
which all the aerodromones we're
equipped, he began to send out calls
for Napoleon.
In few minutes the connection was
established and Santos told Napoleon
Of his discovery.
Wait for me, my dear boy, l am
coming" Santos saw Napoleon adjust
the mechanism to full power, then
dart forward. They spoke from time
to time, and Santos gave directions,
until he discovered in the southwest
ern sky the rapidly approaching Amer
ican Eagle.
They met on top Of the extinct vol
cano that was called Suemeg, on
whose slopes the richest grape vines
grew.
Napoleon shook Santos hand warm
ly and congratulated him on his dis
covery. After he had inspected the
ground thoroughly he could not find
words to express his Joy, but as he
knelt there, looking up, his whole be-
ing expressed silent prayer Of
thanksgiving toward the omnipotent
being who creates and governs the
universe.
I'VE don't need to look farther, San
tos; there is sufficient cirynith under
our feet to meet the demands of the
coming century,"
They started homeward.
Napoleon communicated, through
his electro-stylograph, with his friend
Kalmar, to find out who owned the
property on which the peak Of Suemeg
stood. After delay his questions
were answered. The peak, as part Of
the Schomburg Lithow estates, had
fallen to the crown. as the prince had
recently died without heirs. That was
all the Information he could get. so
he decided he would call on the Hun
garian minister of agriculture, who
would probably be in position to tell
him what he wished to ascertain.
Fate is jesting with me. / had to
hnd that precious metal in a foreign
country, but gold will buy It," thought
Napoleon, and returned that day to
Washington, to tell his betrothed the
good news.
Santos returned to Ciryne, where he
found the countess with Mrs. Edison.
He did not mention the discovery Of
the new cirynith deposit, as he knew
Napoleon wanted to keep 1t secret un.
til negotiations for its purchase were
completed.

miles In size, was in the glory Of tropt

On an eastbound Euclid car in

buxom woman took her seat and pro-

was oblivious Of the fact that the car
was filling up; she got a place to sit
and she proceeded with her knitting.
Only 1t wasn't exactly what you might
call knitting. She had purchased
some string beans at the market and
on the way home she was stringing
them.
It was like this, as she explained

cal spring, and the fine weather had
brought back the health of Mrs. Edi-
son.
The sunsets were wonderful. Po-
etry and love were adrift in the air.
Poor Duprel! It was only a question
Of time until he would become Rosit-
ta's slave. only question Of time when
he would betray his master for sweet
word from those treacherous lips.
Napoleon came week later and
thanked Rositta for her. kindness to
his mother during her indisposition.
He did not talk about the discovery Of
the rich cirynith deposit in her pres
ence. but when they went out for a
walk he found an opportunity to COM
municate the good news to his mother.
There was but one obstacle in the
way Of his acquiring this property.
The last Prince of Schomburg Lithow
had died. His possessions were now
German crown lands and diplomacy
must be employed, or the Count Won
Werdenstein would suspect the value
Of the property, and If he discovered
the secret Of the aerodromone Napo-
leon we'll knew that he would not hesi-
tate to take to war in the air.
1T would be terrible" he sighed. "to
destroy all the good we have accom-
plished."

turn to the capital with him and spend
