TINE EVENING S1oRY
Tho Prize Winner.
(By Ella Randall Pearce.)


When Lois Henry was jflted-that
10 what the good people Of Waterbury
called it when, they talked among
themselves-her friends were sure
that the shock Of the affair would be
crushing. Lois was 30 tender, so
frail. SO dependent, and she had been
deeply in love with Frederick Dillon.
She had met him on the day OF her
graduation from the Waterbury high
school, and that day had marked the
waning of her youthful friendship
with brown-eyed, brown-haired Erwin
Hayes, and the beginning of her hrst
real romance.
Some time later Frederick Dillon.
following q sudden, tickle fancy, hao
disappeared from the place without
any excuse other than q brief. fnco-
herent message to Lois that it would
be better for them to part; ana fur-
Their exclamation came with the story
of an elopement involving minis
ter's daughter Of nearby town.
The blow was crushing, but LOIS
bore 1t bravely and silently. The eyes
/ of Waterbury watched her growing
thinner and paler, until she looked as
If a good breeze from the hills might
carry her away. 8 Tho brown eyes OF
Erwin Hayes watched her, too: but he
dared not express the pity that was IN
his heart, nor the longing he had to
help her. Then ono day Lois seemed
to rally and to take q fresh grip on
life. She had found balm for her
grief; diversion for her mind: work
for her hands. She had taken to gar
dening.
Young Hayes saw her among her
/ flowers one morning. He ventured to
lean upon the fence rail.

siasm. Some folks seem to take nat

She looked up from her pansy beds

ONE WAY TO HELP YOURSELF.

ONE WAY TO HELP YOURSELF.
In the February Woman's Home
Charles E. Jefferson. pas
tor of Broadway Tabernacle in New
York city, writes an entertaining ana
helpful article entitled 1.-The Uses OF
Biography" in which he shows how
study of the lives of the great is Of
practical use to the individual. Fol-
lowing is an extract: ~ ri
Life everywhere has "a tendency TO
become monotonous and sordid. we
all fall into foolish ways OF thinking
and unhealthy ways of feeling. and we
need the healing touch Of lofty souls.
Fortunately for US. such souls are al
ways within our reach. We may live
In q city, or in a hamlet, or in an iso-
lated farmhouse among the mountains
or on the plain. but no matter where
we are we can when evening comes sit
down and commune with the immor-
tails. The homes Of the upper four
hundred may be closed to US, but we
are always at liberty to dine with the
KINGS and queens Of history. 1t IL amas-
ing that 30 many men and women
throw away their opportunities to walk
ana talk with the great. II 1t be true
that a man is known by the company
he keeps, then there is many a person
who has reason to be ashamed OF him.
self. A book il nothing but q man OF
woman. and If one invites into his
home flashy and trivial and vulgar
wrfters-the scapegraces ana dabolera
Of literature-he indicates by his cnoices
the manner Of person he is. EVIL COM
pany doth corrupt good manners. al
Paul reminded che Corinthians Ions
axo. and It is impossible to associate
with men, either in the flesh or II
books. without being brought somewhat
nearer their level Many . man 10 to-
day pessimistic because he has READ q
many diseased and gloomy hearted
authors. and many a woman carries al
unhappy heart because Of the poison
injected by the books which sne ma
read. Life is too short to read any bu'
| the best books. and there are NO oet
ter books than those which portray tn
career and interpret the character o
great men,"

Sl0O. although not on the request Of
the commissioner. The elevator con-
