POLLY AND The FAIRIES

Polly Andrews came down the dark

open doorway.
Il have a holiday. Mrs. Jones-a
whole day to myself. l am going into
the country and, who knows, l may
meet a fairy who will change all my
life. Do you believe in fairies. Mrs.
Jones?" she asked mischievously.
Il don't believe in nothing I don't
see. and you're more likely to meet a
tramp than anyone else," said Mrs.
Jones gloomily.
Polly laughed and went out into the
blazing sunshine. The pavements
were hot and there was not even a
cooling Whit of air.
She boarded a car and went to the
Pennsylvania station. There she

THE SECRET CLAUSE
By GEORGE -MUNsoN.

John had been compelled to leave
college after his first year. on account
Of his fathers death. His mothers
small annuity was barely SUFFICIENT to
support her. 1t was necessary for
John to give us his, ambition of becom-
ing a physician-for the present. at
least-and look for position.
He had answered an advertisement
and had been invited to call. The
world looked very cheerful as he sur
veyed it from his strap in the elevated
train.
He was in the way of becoming a
business man. John smiled. And the
girl to whom he had given up his seat
could not help smiling too. 1t was
not a flirtatious smile-just1 q happy
one, because Johns happiness infect
ed her, as everyone else who looked
at the well-groomed young fellow
clinging to the strap as the car lurched
and swung round the bend.
In the presidents Office nine young
men were being cross-eXamined. John
was the tenth. The president put a
few prefunctory questions.
81 shall write today to the man
whom consider ii be best suited"
he announced.
The ten young men filed out of the
Office. Nine of them, knowing their
individual chances to be small, looked
glum. John was smiling. AS he was
about to leave, the president called
him back.
You'll do. like your face" he
said. Your name is Barrett. Any

that she must give John up forever.
And it was that uncanny GOODNESS that
engraved the truth on Johns heart

love.

Molly shook her head and then, her
calmness deserving her. burst into pas
sionate tears. She sobbed as II her
heart was broken.
John put the situation up to friend
as an abstract proposition.
81 should advise you'll mean the
man you are telling me Otto see his
lawyer" he said. 1T is often posi-
BILE to anticipate a legacy. and If your
mothers annuity does not cease with
her death the reversion would have a
certain cash value at present. That is
my advice. See your lawyer!"
John got cold comfort from his law
yer Come back in six months" was
all he would say. I'll see what l can
do then"
And for six dreary months John
waited. He saw Molly each day, but
she passed him now with only cold
little bow. There was worse to come.
One day, at the end Of the six months,
the president called John into his
office.
We've been hard-hit by the finan'
cial depression. Barrett" he said
I'm sorry, but we are laying off all
the men we can do without, and nat
urally we are keeping our Oldest mem
bers."
John understood. He conjured w
his last smile and left the Office.
Molly had promised to meet him the
following Sunday to say good-by. On
the Saturday afternoon John went tC

He demanded a plain answer to the
proposition he had suggested SIX
months before.
