the Belgian chose his shooting range

Amber had placed five Austrians in the

The field extends to Thirty -sixth and q.
The Austrians. II is said, worked along

The workmen paused. One man yelled

Amber found them after an hours

PH|N'S GOOD LUCK
BY GEORGE MUNSON.

Phineas Kelly was accustomed to
see "a look in tn old woman's eye," as
he phrased 1t, when he came home to
his tea after eight hours of peaceful
employment as brieklayer. Years Of
practise had enabled him to interpret
1t accurately. 1t meant, lie low,
Phineas. for things have been at skies
and sevens all day"
On such occasions Phineas. good,
honest man that he was, would slip
out quietly after tea to the corner
saloon, where he would sit talking pol
ltics and domestics with his cronies
over a glass or two, till the time came
to retire home, strictly sober, and pre-
pared to find that the odd and even
numerals had Strengthened themselves
out during his absence.
On this occasion there was an alto
gether different look in Mary's eye.
What is it, woman?" he exclaimed,
sensing that something quite different
from anything in his experience had
happened. Speak out, Mary, girl! Is
1t the measles? If Tins got thin I'll
whale the life out of him."
mo, 1t isn't!' snapped his better
half. Uncle Jim's dead and has left
me all his money The lawyer thinks
1t will come to five thousand dollars. "
While Phineas sat, exhausted from
emotion, in his chair, Mary read him
the letter from Ireland.
"Whatll do wild it," calculated her
husband.
You're going to be a contractor
Phineas, as you have always wanted to
be-" answered Mary. And at the end
of the month we leave"
Phineas uttered various exclama
tions, but he was as straw in his wife's
hands. Before he went to bed it was
understood that he and Mr. Hogan
with whom the subject had been
broached at times Of day-dreaming
should go into the contracting bust
ness. Hogan had saved tidy sum
and with this legacy their dreams
could be realized. During the twenty
eight days remaining before June
Phineas was to continue laying bricks
The days that followed were not OF
unalloyed bliss. Phineas wanted to re
main in the little fiat, even If he was
to be a contractor. But Mary had the

press 1t upon her husband that, fol

Test of Character.

But responsibility is the great char
acter-developer, and very few Of US
really know what we can do until we
are put to the test. The market is
long on men who can take orders, but
short on those who can intelligently
issue them. Responsibility requirea
a certain amount of initiative; the
willingness to act when occasion de-
mands and the courage to fail un-
der honest effort and take the conse-
quences.
OF course you may fail; but you
can't tell whether you will succeed
until you try; and having tried to the

is better than never TO have tried
at all. Better because In every loss
there is the compensation Of expert

and sire of annihilation.-Lesiie's.

REAL INVENTOR OF SExTANT
Thomas Godfrey Of Philadelphia 10 tho
Man to Whom tho HonorsProp-
erIy Belongs.

One Of the earliest Of Americas
"self.made" men was Thomas God
frey, who invented the sextant. God.
frey, born In 1704. was a humble gla-
zier, but a man Of intellectual force.
John Hadley also Invented SEX
tant, evidently carrying out a sug-
gestion of Newton which was found
in Sir lsaac's original draft among
Hadley's papers after his death.
Godfrey antedated Hadley by about
one year, but for long time his
claims we're not recognized, and Had
ley received all the credit.
How the humble glazier received his
first inspiration to design the instru-
ment Of so great use to mariners Is
an interesting story.
One day, while replacing a pane OF
glass In a window Of a house on the
north side of Arch street, In Philadel-
phia, opposite pump, a girl, after
filling her pail, placed 1t upon the
sidewalk.
Godfrey, on turning toward it, saw
the sun reflected from the window
on which he had been at work into
the bucket of water, and his philo-
sophie mind selling upon the incident
was thus led to combine the plan OF
an instrument by which he could draw
the sun down to the horizon by a
contrivance incomparably superior to
any that had ever before been used
for the purpose Of ascertaining angu-
lar measurements.

cality more suited to their new sta
tion in life. And, as the days went by,
and the whole neighborhood assumed
O more cordial friendship than ever
before, Phineas found that he was no
longer free of Rafferty's saloon.
"We can't afford to be too friendly
with that sort, Phineas," explained his
wife. "F1aherty and his wife are good
enough people, but just common
clay"
We've shook dice together each
Saturday night In years" pleaded
Phineas. And what about that Sun
day picnic with them and the Hooli-
gans?"
There won't be any picnic" assev.
Grated Mary irritably.
Nevertheless Phineas did manage to
meet his old friends by various sub
terfuges, and he carefully explained
the situation TO them.
1.-THE best woman In the world,
MIKE, u0 lOlu 4 IduSl ~ Luz yoA
know how It Is with women, Mike.
The moneys sort Of turned her head"
That's all right, Phin." responded
Mike Flaherty. This ones on me"
To the neighbors, indeed, 1t seemed
a natural thing that Mrs, Kelly should
want to rise In the world; and IL there
was a little envious gossiplng, the
sight OF the good woman, as she went
down the street resplendent In her
new gowns purchased with the last
of their saved money! turned envy TO
admiration.
Meanwhile Hogan and Kelly had ar,
ranged their partnership. There was
a fine opening in the town, and Hogan
was to put in a couple Of thousand
supplementing his smaller contribution
with his political pull" The new
apartment was leased and the Kellys
were preparing to leave.
Mrs. Kelly only required a week to
pack being methodical woman. But
as the week progressed that look came
into her eye more and more frequent
ly. till Phineas, having no refuge now
to which to fly, was driven to bay.
The Lakeland evening telegram., 1914-07-20

What Is 1t, Mary?" he asked one
evening, when his wife had been more
than usually morose.
He half expected the tartest of re-
Joinders; but, to his establishment. his
wife burst into tears and laid her head
upon his shoulder. And Phineas found
himself caressing her as he had not
done since Tim was a baby.
"Phineas," she wept, Il feel so mean
and hateful, the way I've treated the
Flahertys and the Hooligans, after the
friends we've been. It's for the boys
sake, Phineas, dear. isn't it?"
Sure, that's all right" answered
her husband. They understand
DO you think they think l think
they aren't good enough for u.s." in
quired his wife, raising her face. wet
with tears.
Il guess they think they'd do as
much If they were In your place,
Mary" he answered.
For half pin" said Mary, I'D stay
right on here for old times sake, and
and invite the Hooligans and Fla
herys to the picnic after all But"
she sighed-"It's for Tins sake, isn't
it?"
Sure" answered her husband,
bravely, though he, too, was thinking
of his old friends and those merry eve
nings at Raffertys.
But three days remained when the
post brought a letter from the lawyers
in Ireland. Phineas brought it duti
fully to his wife. She opened 1t and
gave scream.
"Phineas! We haven't got any mon
ey at all!' she gasped
Phlneas Kelly, with mixed feeling
of joy and sadness, took up the mis-
sive and spelled it out:
'We beg to inform you," he read,
that an error was made In stating
| that the estate Of your late uncle, Mr..
James Smylie, was likely to be proved
at five thousand dollars. The total
| amount of the estate is seventeen
thousand, all of which goes to you un-
der the will, and"
Seventeen thousand" cried Mary
Kelly, springing from her chair and
| grasping the letter from her husbands 8
hand "Phineas! It's true! Listen!
And a check for this amount will be
forwarded in a few days to you"
Suddenly the excited woman began
to execute a pas seul before her hus'
bands eyes.
Mary" he exclaimed, you'll be toe
tired to pack if you"
But we're not moving, Phineas!
We're going to stay right on here"
"But we've got seventeen thousand
woman!" he cried.
That's why, Phineas," she an
swered. With five thousand we could
never be sure that the neighbors really
looked up to US. but with seventeen
thousand we know. We can afford tC
now. See?"
Phineas saw. He saw a welcome
corner in Rafferty's and the familiar
faces Of his old friends smiling out o.
u cloud of tobacco smoke.
And the kiss he gave Mary drove
away the look" forever.
