Perseverance Rewarded.

A prominent writer, who likes a
drop OF two with his meals, goes &C.
casionally to cafe on Broadway for
luncheon. He makes a point of sit
ting at the same table whenever pos
sible, so that he has become fairly
well acquainted with the waiter in
charge of that table. This particular
cafe is one of the few in,-New York
where the walters are colOred men.
The other day he slipped into his
favorite place and reached for the
menu. In an instant the waiter,
whose name is Gabe, was lowering
over him.
81 s'pose you wants little Scotch
and worter to start of wid?" said
Gabe, remembering mighty we'll his
patrons habit.

"Well, suh," said Gabe In tones OF
honest admiration, you suttingly KEEP

WALKING ON BUBBLES
BY VICTOR REDcLIFFE.

"Walking on bubbles-that's Ned
Darlington"
"And happy in his folly"
lis it folly?" disputed Lucia Ross,
with her own particular chum and con-
fidant, Nellie Parr. "Mr. Darlington
is indomitable, bright, and, best of all,
happy. There can be no false philos-
ophy to a system that holds high
ideal and sees no encouragement in
the rebuffs of adverse fortune"
"Why, quite a champion, aren't
you?" cried Nellie, and noted the
speedy flush on the fair face of her
COMPANION and-wondered.
At that very moment the subject of
this conversation was helping a friend,
Ralph Warner, into an automobile In
front of the Office of the principal law
yer of Newton. There was strong
contrast between the two men-Ned,
clear-eyed, the picture of health and
attractiveness, with his athletic frame
and handsome face; Ralph, frail and
walking and looking like what he was
of delicate constitution and not fit
ted for harsh contact with a rough
world.
1.-THE finest day of my life!" declared
Ned, and the air seemed to vibrate
with the worthiness and sincerity of
his words.
The other c3asped his hand as he
stepped into the machine. He looked
into the earnest, eager face of Ned,
tears in his eyes, his voice tremulous
with genuine emotion.
"Ned," he said, you're strange
man to say it! You have robbed your
self for my sake"
ooh, that way?" cried Ned, with a
ringing laugh. why, old boy, there
was nothing to rob me Of, for never
had anything. But I'll have something!

Ralph Warner smiled indulgently,
almost pityingly.

II he had a full meal. Well, good-by.
I suppose the will is to be read to-
morrow. Your end of it is sure--Uncle
Darwin has left you the bulk Of his for
zane. That much I positively know"
Ned Darlington nodded a bright
as3eu to his friend and went on his
,say Swapping his fingers jauntiiy, poor
~ a church mouse, but happy all over
because he had learned the news at
the law office where he was junior
student that their uncle had provided
for Ralph royalty.
Time was when Ned had been the
prime favorite of the rich old man.
Then, because he would not truckle,
Mr.. Darwin had frowned on him. 1t
was Ned who had pushed to the frcnt
Ralph Warner at this juncture. The
latter was a closer relative, he rea-
somed; he was not able to work regu-
larly; manly ease and comfort should
De his. He should have it. Ned
stepped aside for a friend.
He thought no more of that than if
he had given up a meal to some hun
cry tramp. He was free now to tell
Uncle Darwin what he thought of him
when he acted selfish and uncharitable.
His mother had left him a small
settled income. 1t was enough to en-
able him to waste some time on his
visionary schemes while preparing for
the law. He was very prince Of OPP
timism good to everybody,
supremacy happy.
And he loved Lucia Ross! There
was another bright spot in his life.
He had not told her yet. Sometimes
he wondered il, when the critical mo-
merk came, she would favor his ap-
peal. All, then! They could be
friends-.hat was e consolation.
Ned wae fully aware that he was not
mentioned in the will Of dead Abram
Darwin. He was on hand in the vi
Unity Of the az mansion, however.

PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children

Children's taste is ofttimes more
accurate, in selecting the right kind of
food to fit the body, than that Of adults.
Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: 'Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste Of
any kind Of cereal food. He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
zone lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts.
Well, you never saw child eat with
such relish, and it did me good to
see him. From that day on it seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and think he
would have liked the food for dinner.
"The difference in his appearance
is something wonderful.
my husband had never fancied
cereal foods of any kind, but he be.
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it
1--WE are now a healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. I was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack Of proper nourishment. The
children showed it. So urged her
to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment
and the result was almost magical.
"They continued the food and TO-
day both children are as well and
strong as any children in this city,
and, of course, my friend is firm be-
lever in Grape-Nuts, for she has tire
evidence before her eyes every deJ.'

Felix, old Aunt ralnelS times ervS7s
with lofty anticipation. There was q
crew of ragenous distant relatives.
Ralph had been especially summoned.
Lucia, too, and Ned wondered why.
for she was not relative of the deed

Ned loitered about the grounds. He
wanted to congratulate Ralph when
he rode away realizing how rich man
he was. A lurking fondness for Lucia,
too, made him hope he would have an
opportunity to walk home with her.
In about half an hour down the
front steps bolted Cousin Felix. He
was red-faced and raving. He was
swinging his cane about in venge-
ire.

Felix-"not a sou left to any Of us

Ned sharply. s

"W-what!"
Ned Darlington fell back against q
tree and gasped.
Cousin Felix passed on. Ned stared
into vacancy. Mr.. Darwin had always
lous, unheard-of arrangement! What!
To practically make Ralph a rich man
and throw in sweet, peerless Lucia as
if she were bag Of gold!
Ned started away from the spot.

Ned, on his mettle. Lucia, dear, you

She placed her hand in his. She

she declared, and Ned Darlington knew
that the fondest Of all his glowing
