brushed by a youth of color, Bibbs
went into his own room and closed the
door.
He was more shaken than he had
allowed his father to perceive, and his
side was sore where Sheridan had
struck him. He desired to be alone;
he wanted to rub himself and, for once,
to do some useless thinking again. He
knew that his father had not hap
pened" to run into him; he knew that
Sheridan had instantly--and instinct
ively-proved that he held his own life
OF no account whatever compared to
that of his son and heir. Bibbs had
been unable to speak or that, or seem
to know 1t; for Sheridan, just as in
stinctlvely. had swept the matter aside
as of no Importance, since all was
well-reverting Immediately to bust
ness.
Bibbs began to think intently Of his
father. He perceived, as he had never
perceived before, the shadowing OF
something enormous and indomitable
and lawless; not to be daunted by
the will of natures very self; laughing
at the lightning and at wounds and
mutilation; conquering. irresistible
and blindly noble. For the first time

DADDY'S EVENING.

"Just what / was thinking of" re.
piled Daddy. Il heard that yesterday
the Gnomes had wonderful day of
Surprises, and have been wanting to
tell you about 1t ever since. 1t almost
slipped my mind, and almost, almost
forgot It,"
well, as long as you didn't, Daddy,
1t doesn't matter" chimed In Nancy.
So Daddy continued:
"'Come along, come along shouted
Peter Gnome.
Where shall we come along tor
asked the other Gnomes.
It's all going to be Surprise said
Peter Gnome. who wants to come on
Surprise tripT he added.
ave all do shouted every little
Gnome.
Come Chariot said Peter Gnome,
and he gave three short whistles and
one very long one.
What should the Gnomes see then
but a big red chariot decorated with
silver trimmings. And dragging the
chariot were ten Black Ravens. Their
harness was of red and silver which
looked extremely we'll on their black
suits.
"'All pile in said Peter Gnome, for,
of course, he was the leader of the Sur
prise trip.
"And as they climbed into the chariot
and flew off. 1t seemed to grow more
and more like soft Grey and Silver
Clouds-the red colors faded and more
silver ones took their places.
1.-The Black Ravens seemed to
change into dark black Clouds, and
they began to roar and speak.
"'We're the Thunder Clouds, they
said, and we're showing you how we
do our work. Today is our time for
work-though we have plenty Of time
for play too
"And then the little Gnomes heard
the old King Of the Thunder roaring to
the Thunder Clouds to hurry up and
get started. And such Storm as the
Earth People had while the King Of the
Thunder was doing his work. OF
course, he was helped by the Thunder
Clouds, the King Of the Clouds, who

and as there was a glimpse of his pro-
file she saw for the first time resem-
blance to his father.
She watched them. In the middle of
the street Bibbs had to step ahead OF
his father, and the two were separated.
But the reckless passing of truck,
beyond the second line of rails. fright
ened a group Of country women who
were in course of passage; they were
just In front of Bibbs, and showed
backward upon him violently. To ex-
tricate himself from them he stepped
back, directly in front of a moving
trolley car-no place for absent-mind-
edness, but Bibbs was still absorbed
in thoughts concerned with what he
had been saying to his father. There
were shrieks and yells; Bibbs looked
the wrong way-and then Mary saw
the heavy figure of Sheridan plunge
straight forward in front of the car
With absolute disregard of his own
life, he hurled himself at Bibbs like a
football player shunting off an oppo.
nent, and to Mary 1t seemed that they
both went down together. But that
was all she could see-automobiles
trucks and wagons closed in between
She made out that the trolley car
stopped jerkily. and she saw police
man breaking his way through the In.
stantly condensing crowd, while the
traffic came to a standstill. and people
stood up In automobiles or climbed
upon the hubs and tires of wheels moi
to miss a chance of seeing anything
horrible.
Mary tried to get through; 1t was
impossible. Other policemen came to
help the first, and In minute or two
traffic was In motion again. The
crowd became plant, dispersing-there
was no figure upon the ground, and nc
ambulance came. But one of the po'
licemen was detained by the clinginG
and beseeching of gloyed hand.
What is the matter, lady?"
Where are they?" Mary cried.
"Who? Ole Man Sheridan? I reck.
on he wasn't much hurtp'

up. They both went on In the Sheri-
dan building without any help. Ex-
cuse me, lady"
Sheridan and Bibbs, in fact, were
at that moment In the elevator, ascend
ing. "Whisk-broom up in the Office"

Bibbs got to gettin' better while he
worked over there at the shop because
you kept him cheered up and feelin'
good. And he says If you could man

mo, no. What he thought was truer'
"Well-you mean he was so much

Here Are Some Facts Which Might
Support the Theory That 1t
Has Some Power.

The Germans say that "All good
things are three; but seven is also a
remarkable, one might almost say a
mystical, number.
The little girl in WORDSWORTH we'll
known poem said "We are seven"
The days of the week are seven. The
colors of the rainbow are seven. The
notes of the musical scale are seven
(the eighth one being the same as the
first). There were said to be seven
sages of Greece, and seven kings Of
Rome, and the city OF Rome was built
on seven hills. London city has seven
hills also; Cornhill. Snow hill, Lud-
gate hill, Fish Street hill, Bread Street
hill. Holborn hill and Tower hill.
The world was made in seven days.
There were seven famous cities of an
tiquity Rome, Antioch, Nineveh. Baby
Ion, Athens. Tyre and Carthage.
There are seven wonders of the
world. that is of the ancient world, and
these were: The Colossus of Rhodes

There are also seven wonders of his

Catacombs, the Great Wall of China.
Stonehenge. the Leaning Tower Of Pr

the Mosque of st. Sophia at CONSTANT

Here are the seven new wonders Of

Earth and scamper around. The Light
ming flashed off and on, too.
''But no sooner had the storm seemed
to act as though it We're going to 20 on
for ever and ever so long, when what
should the Gnomes see but the friends
of Mr.. Sun-the Sun Rays And then,
Mr.. Sun himself popped out smiling
and looking very happy.
How-do you do, everybody he said
beaming down on the Earth. At this
all the Black Clouds went away and
only the Grey and Silver ones stayed
of course, some of the Silver ones had
not been seen for long time by the
Earth People for they had hidden back
of the black ones.
and everyone came out on the
Earth, and looked about as though
very much pleased that the King of
the Clouds and old King Thunder were
taking rest.
Now Mr.. Sun was feeling lazy, and
besides this was his day for playing
Tag with the King of the Clouds and
old King Thunder, For, would you be-
lieve ut? Mr.. Sun is very fond Of a
good old-fashioned game of Tag once
In while, and he began now trying to
catch King Thunder.
"As he did not he got back of one
of the Clouds and it became quite dark
on the earth. Here, he said old King
Thunder, come here! Those People
down on the Earth said they were glad
you had stopped making such
noise! l wouldn't stand it if were
you. Go back and tell them what Won
think Of them Roar your hardestr
"And sure enough the Thunder and
Rain began again, and the Earth Peo-,
pie said:
"We'll probably have these awful
Thunder Storms all day.
"As for the Gnomes they were hav-
ing just the very best sort of time
because they could see all that was
happening in the Clouds and they had
such fun watching the game of Tag
between Mr.. Sun and old King Thur
der.
"At last, though, both Mr.. Sun and
old King Thunder grew tired and Mr..
Moon came out to see what was going
on. Just then back came the chariot
carried by the Ravens and home went
