A Tossing Light Directed Him.

Silver lake. Shouldn't wonder if he'd
marry her. Don't you see he's got
purpose in life?"
Il don't" answered Donald bluntly,
If he's Just posing to be stylish and
marry for money"
Donald was a general favorite in
the village. He was going home one
lowering, clustering afternoon after
making some wonderful kites for
some poor school children, when he
noticed people running towards the
public square.
What's up?" he inquired of a pass
ing pedestrian
Don't know, but big crowd down
yonder. | see an automobile. May
be it's smashup."
AS Donald neared the square he
noticed the machine in question. 1t
contained the driver, the most beauti-
ful young girl he had ever seen, and
her maid. The latter held an empty
bird cage, and like her young mis-
tress, her eyes were directed up into
the air. The crowd about them were
gaping and staring In the same d.
rection.
The town hall was the tallest build
ing in town. Running up from its
roof there was a flag pole fully sew
enty-fve feet in height. The strong
breeze was whipping the loose ropes
about this, and at the apex knob,
where they we're fastened, a bright blue
object was fluttering frantically.
1t was a blue bird, which the trav-
eled Donald at once recognized as a
product OF Borneo, famous for its
brilliant color and a song note of
sweetly expressive cadence. Just
now, however, the poor imprisoned
creature was uttering shrill cries of
terror and pain.
1t got out of the cage, flew away,
and its foot is caught in the tangled
ropes up yonder." some one remarked.
That 1t was the cherished pet Of
the beautiful young lady. Donald at
once discerned. No one ventured to
suggest way to release the bird. A
first glance at the face OF the young
lady had enthralled Donald AS a
second epicted her rare anxiety, DON
aid spoke to bystander.
II will get her pet for her." he said
simply, and disappeared within the
building.

swayed the watching throng as Don
aid appeared on the roof of the build

ing. Then there was a breathless
hush as he began climbing the
smooth. yielding pole. 1t was en-
trancing to view his sailor-like skill
and hardihood. AS Donald neared the
top OF the pole 1t bent over danger
ousiy. With accurate nicely of equi-
poise, however. he reached the top,
released the blue bird, and holding it
in one hand slid easily to the roof.
A tremendous cheer rent the air
as he appeared below. The eager
maid was advancing with the cage.
He slipped the truant within 1t and
modestly stepped away.
The young lady asked about you,
she wrote down your name; she said
she must see you to thank you." a
neighbor told Donald that evening.
DO you know who she is?"
NO"
THE rich Miss Caruthers. They
have magnificent summer home up
at Silver lake."
Then the next morning, rather

1t seemd to Donald as though some
subtle influence never before expert
enced was urging him to go up to
Silver lake. The memory of the
charming face he had seen in the au-
tomobile fingered vividly. 1t was just
before dusk when he reached the
Caruthers home.

A heavy storm had come up. darkness
and dense fog were fast enveloping
the broad lake. He found the anxious

had not landed somewhere. He found

A tossing light finally directed him.
