than that"
And, with a sigh of admiration of
her epistolary abilities. she went to
the corner and mailed the result of her
afternoons labors.
Chapter XVII.
Monday was always hard day at
Baird's store. and this particular Mon.
day was no exception to the rule. To
begin with, the girls at the lace coun-
ter were out of sorts and tired-Julia,
because of the headache that had tor
'1red her nerves on Sunday; her fell
low clerks, because of the gay ex-
periences of the day before. After
the fashion of New Workers, they
sought recreation so strenuously and
to such late hours on their one holi-
day that they were utterly tagged out
when working time came again. To
make unpleasant conditions worse the
day was hot. Summer, in departing,
seemed to be mastering all her forces
of heat in one final effort to cause dis
comfort. The atmosphere of the store
never too good was warm and moist,
and filled with hundred warning
odors.
The purchasers at the lace counter
were exacting and it took all Of Julia's
self-control to keep her impersonal
smile on duty and her voice calm and
polite in spite of the myriad annoy
ances that beset her today.

The mermaid wrapped the pearls
around her neck. Then, putting her
hands into the golden hair that hung
down her back. she took from it a
comb which she placed in Maida's
hand It seemed to be some sort Of
dull shell, but the boy put it in his
pocket. Then, with glad cry, she
plunged back into the waves, end

Mazda following closely
In the fisherman's hut it was cold
and bleak. A few fagots burned on
the hearth, but there was no food in
the empty cupboard and the children
stood around bare table crying for
food.
Father cried Komo II had
prize in my hands, enough to buy US
all everything we need, but foolish
Mazda threw it all away-all ne got in
return was a shell comb"
Mazda blushingly took the comb out
of his jacket and laid it on the table.
But strange to say it did not now look
like shell-it shone in the dim twi
light with simmer as of pure gold,
while all over it cleaned big diamonds
and rubies, jewels which were worth
the crown of the Kink.
Komo did not know what to say

LITTLE MAlDA'S MERMAID.


Once upon time there lived by the
sea a very poor fisherman. Most Of
the time he had made a decent living
for his large family, but somehow the
fish seemed to grow scarce, many of
the people moved away from the vii
lage and he was poorer than ever.
The fisherman had two boys. The
older one was strong lad, but selfish,
and he imposed always on MAZDA, who
was delicate One day the father
said to the big lad, ''komo, l am i'll
today You and Mazda must take my
place in the boat. Be sure and work
hard for their is little to eat in the
house and not a penny with which to
buy food"
So the two boys ran off to the sea-
shore whether their old boat was rock
ing on the waves. When they came
in sight of the beach Komo caught a
view of a strange creature sitting on
a rock short way from the sand. The
body from the waist down was that
Of fish, but from that of the waist
up it was that Of woman. The mer-
maid had long golden hair, and was
gazing far out at sea.
Don't disturb her; leave her alone,
Komo!" shouted Mazda, as his brother
waded out from shore. But Komo paid
no attention. Creepic~ up on the mer-
maid, he seized her around her waist
and dragged her to the beach. The
frightened creature struggled and
beat about wildly but Komo only
laughed.
Here is a pretty necklace. I can
sell it for hundred bits Of gold,' he
said, jerking from the mermaid's
throat a string Of big pink pearls.
You do not need these and we are
poor"
"Oh! l do need them" pleaded the
mermaid. 1T is my magic necklace.
and without it l cannot return to my
home under the waters-give it back
to me for PHYS sake."
Give it back to her at once" said
Mazda to the older lad.
Never" cried Komo I'VE can buy
a plenty with these big pearls"
Seeing the poor little mermaid so
cruelty treated aroused the anger Of
Mazda. He determined that at any
cost he would help her. so Selling a
stick of wood that lay on the beach,
he hit komo sharp blow on his right
arm. The necklace dropped on the
beach and Mazda grabbed it quickly.
Komo howled with pain and danced
about in his anger.
Here is your string of pearls" said

For a moment there was silence.
Then Mr.. Mallowe leaned back easily
in his chair and, removing his tor
toise-shell trimmed eyeglasses, tapped
the desk thoughtfully with them as he
replied:
THAT was regrettable, of course.
Mr. Hamilton. 1t must have been dis
tressing in the extreme to Miss Law
ton, coming just at this time, but it
would have had to be revealed sooner
or later. you know-such stupendous
fact could not be hidden. There is no
extraordinary secrecy about the mat
ter. When the attorneys have COM
pleted their settlement of the estate,
everything will be clear to you and
Miss Lawton. I must naturally de-
cline to give you any explanation
which would be, just now, merely an
uncorroborated opinion. l appreciate
your feelings in this sudden, almost
overwhelming trouble which has come
to Miss Lawton, and sympathize with
both OF you most heartily; but one
must have patience You will pardon
me, but you are both very young. and
that is the hardest lesson of all for you
to learn"
His watery eyes beamed in fatherly
benevolence upon Ramon. and Anita s
fiance felt his gorge rising. The old
err man reminded him irresistibly Of a
cat licking its chops before canary's
cage, and it was with difficulty he re-
strained himself to remark coldly:
You told me at the beginning of
this interview, Mr.. Mallowe, that l
did we'll in coming to you, since you
could give me a more comprehensive
idea of the circumstances than anyone
else, yet you have disclosed nothing

GARDEN AIRDoME ATTRACTS
DESPITE THE COLD WEATHER

Considering the cool weather,
good sized audience greeted the
Maurice Musical Comedy Co. in their
change of bill last night at the Air
dome, and again Baby Noriene car
ried away the honors of the evening
by her cunning ways and sweet songs.
The child is one of the cleverest of
child-entertainers, and each evening
has even carried the honors away
from the grown-ups in the cast. The
bill presented last evening was over
flowing with comedy, and the three
comedians kept the audience in laugh
ter each time they put in an appear
ance. The chorus was enlarged last
evening by the arrival of two more
girls from Chicago and with its bright
wardrobe the chorus made stunning
appearance Several unusual novel
ties in the way of chorus formation
and dances were used, and merited
the applause each received.
