THAT MALACCA BUG
BY JUSTINE NEcrNoR.

"Good-by to my dream of ,dreams."
sighed Vance Edison, sadly.
He stood at the window of the plain
house he called home. Its bewildering
attachment was the radiant garden.
There the captivating scene fascinated
his vision.

little maid of four and . rosy-cheeked
lad two years her senior. The little
ones were adjusting . wreath made
up of pansies and forgetmenots
ACROSS her rare flaxen hair-a happy,

Edison's heart ache, for in the COM

daughter of Q widow, his next-door
neighbor. Both she and her Invalid
mother had found true friend In the
young college professor. His life was
very simple and humble, yet bright
and merry we're the hours they spent
in the garden that was the pride and
glory Of the place.
Then the father Of the two chill
dren came along. He was an uncle Of
Edison, . sea-faring man. He had
been compelled to give up his ship on
account of falling health. He had
taken his motherless children from An
asylum where they had been placed.

Woman's Orioinal Plan,

An unusual course Of reading was
devised by an original woman to while
away the tedium of convalescence.
She determined to look up every un.
familiar word that she met In the first
book she read, to read up on every
subject mentioned Of which she was
ignorant. and to read every book
whose title might appear in the book
she was reading. Though she began
with an ordinary light novel, one of
the maligned best Sellers" 1t led her
into several months of most interest
ing reading that covered a range Of
delightful, unexpected subjects.--

Sorrowful ~ Vance Edison was over
his money prospects and consequently
those OF love. he was cheered at see-
ing more Of NeIla than ever. The lit
tie ones chung to her constantly. The
bronze bug became positive institu-
ton with the family group. 1t seemed
rs though 1t had mind to appreciate
kindness and recognize its friends. As
It was nursed back to normal strength
1t refused to leave the house. even the
room. 1t became domesticated In .
sort Of playhouse that Edison con-
structed for 1t, more for the gratifica-
ton Of the children than anything
else.
There was q tiny trough for bath
ing, q swing, . diminutive step ladder.
To all these novelties the strange in
sect accommodated itself. For hours
Nella and her two child proteges
would watch the glossy bug.
One day an old messmste of the
dead sailor called upon Edison. Just
to talk over the best friend he ever
had" was the way he put 1t. He
brought some gifts for the two little
orphans. He CHANGED to see the bug.

Why, say, this specimen must have
been imported here In some of your
uncle's old truck"
Apparently this was true, for when
the beetle was first discovered it had
probably crawled on to the window to
the attic where the chest and other
belongings Of the dead sailor were
stored.
The visitor departed two days later.
A week after that the bronze bug was
missing. Little Ralph came rushing
down the stairs one morning all ex-
element.
In the attic!" he announced breath
lessly. Il saw him-the bug. crawl
ing out of one Of those big idols"
All hands hurried to the attic There
were q number Of grotesque wood.
glass and plaster idols among the
curiosities taken from the uncle's
Chest. nalpn pointed 10 one on

There! there!" he insisted.
Edison lifted down the idol. Sure
enough, out crawled the lost bronze
bug. Edison placed the idol ON =
stand. In his excitement little Ralph
ran up against 1t, tipped the idol and
it was broken into bits upon the
floor.
But among the fragments was .
small silk purse. Within 1t was the
fortune the dead uncle had boasted
of-diamonds!
And now the future was provided
for. and through the kindly of1ces Of
the bronze bug Vance found . speedy
way to the heart Of the girl he loved.
