Then his thoughts reverted to the

Six months previously he had quar-

He began calculating possible prog

keep from feeling lonely, for he found
little congenial companionship in the
Woodworking, slow-going town. His
shoe became unlaced as he was cross

he thought no more Of the incident I'm.
til noon-quitting time.
Then as he removed the cover OF
the dinner pail, in profound bewilder.
ment he stared. A napkin spotlessly
white came first. Beneath was q
heap of dainty meat sandwiches. A
layer of lettuce leaves, and there nes-
tied a square of pie nudging harmoni-
ously a thick slice of raisin cake.
my original lunch must have spilled
out, and those two mischievous lads
in spasm of contrition must have
recovered the pail and had it refilled
at home" reasoned Alvin. Home
oh, somewhere in this town there is
famous cook! My favorite dainty,
too-raisin bread!"
The toothsomeness Of the unexpect-
ed repast fingered like after fragrance
of rose, as he passed the spot where
the catastrophe of the dinner pail had
transpired. Alvin had never before
noticed the sylvan beauty of the little
cottage standing back from the road
amid nest Of greenery and flowers.
For the first time, too, he observed
a written card nailed to the fence
post. 1t read Can accommodate

thing like what got today" ruminated
Alvin, 81 can't do better than make
the change"
Which Alvin proceeded to do the
next day. The comfort and coziness
of the place delighted him. There was
an added charm. He found that the
widow who owned the house had a
daughter who assumed the duties OF
hostess in way that made him feel
at home.
Meta Day was beautiful girl. She
was musical and so was Alvin. Two
pleasant evenings surrounded by real
friendliness and culture gave Alvin q
new spur in life.
The third evening as he sat down
to supper there was raisin bread. He
could not help but praise it. Then
naturally in his usual good-natured
way Alvin recited the episode OF the
disappearing dinner pail. He COM
mended the worthy restitution made
by the two mischievous boys.
why" suddenly spoke up Mrs. Day,
Meta made them return the dinner
pail
"Mother!". warned Meta, flushing
deeply.
Yes, and it was Meta who filled
the dinner pail" proceeded Mrs. Day.
Its original contents had gone into
the river. She made the boys recover
the dinner pail"
Alvin glanced gratefully at Meta.
Amid her confusion she seemed love
lier than ever to him.
One evening two months later, com
ing home from work, Alvin was con-
sderably surprised to meet his uncle,
Gideon Blake.
"Ah, have found him at last, dear
boy" exclaimed the old man EMU
sively. Hunted you up, to suggest
that bygones should be bygoaes. Miss
Eulalie Berton-"
Regarding that estimable young
lady," interrupted Alvin forcibly, that
devoted hope of yours is farther away
than ever"
Good" cried Uncle Gideon. I've
found her out-a mercenary match
maker"
"You see," continued Alvin, Il am
engaged to another"
mot the pretty girl just saw at
the cottage yonder?"
1.-THE same" nodded Alvin proudly.
Lucky fellow" commented Uncle
Gideon. Il would feel it an honor to
make her joint inheritor with your
self of the fortune SO meanly denied
you"
And then Alvin invited his en-
thusiastic relative to tea, and Nettas
raisin cake made the old fellow more
in love than ever with that charming
young lady.

Return to the writer" spoke Alvin
Prescott, and an expression crossed
his face that looked strangely out of
place for one SO young and hand
some.
1t was Indignation, resolve and grim
ness combined-naught of regret. He
handed back a letter, just delivered
by the postman and brought to him
by the slovenly maid of the third
class boarding house, the fare and dis
order Of which constituted one of the
many hard crosses he was compelled
to bear.

fingers airily. "Ill earn my own living
and work my own way. Thanks he
added, arising to leave for his daily
task and taking up the filled dinner
pail brought to him by the kitchen
slavey.
He swung down the street not one
whit ashamed of carrying the badge
of the artisan. 1t was pretty big fall
from the luxurious theory OF engineer
ing, to begin at the bottom to learn
the practical end of mechanics. Two
dollars day looked mean and little
to the recent prospective heir to a for
tune. The worst of it was that the
factory town did not boast a decent
boarding house. The charge was
cheap, the fare abominable. Even now
Alvin made slight grimace and then
resignedly shrugged his shoulders, as

HOW w. MAURICE
LEARNED DANCING
Steps Were Picked Up in a
British College and In
French Cafes.

NJ. Maurice has proved that all dane
ers do not carry their brains in their
feet-their oft supposed topsy-turvy
mental state. NJ. Maurice has written
an interesting book, entitled "Maurice's
Art of Dancing" The first part con-
tains delightful story Of the man
whose birthplace has been ascribed TO
practically every country, and who is in
reality an American, and the second
part, a description of and the directions
for the learning of the dances which
VI. Maurice says will live foreyer-the
Viennese waltz, hesitation, the one-step,
the fox trot and the tango. There is
also chapter on the art Of dancing,
and particularly its bearing upon a
national influence and feeling.
Maurice Oscar Louis Mouvet was
born right here in New York, on March
II. 1889, of Belgian parents, natives of
tn recently ill-fated Liege. No an
cestor contributed to the art of the
dancer, for he is the first Of his fam
lily to become associated with the stage
in any way. His mother, a modiste,
ranked for several years among the
best dressmakers Of New York, and
another brother, Oscar, and himself
proved to be her chief interest and
happiness in life; every moment she
could snatch from business was de-
voted to her two children.
When five years old the little Maurice
lost mis- mother, and his father, a trav-
cling salesman for a jewelry firm,
placed the two boys in the School OF
st. Vincent and st. Paul, in West
