THE HIDDEN WILL

Aunt Jerusha was dead. and she had

Jerusha had been mother and father
In one to Dorothy until she married
Charlie Enfield, the young lawyer.
There was nothing against the young
mans character, but Aunt Jerusha had
no use for lawyers. a lawyer had once
treated her badly.

thy had called impulsively at her aunt's
house to beg forgiveness. and Aunt
Jerusha had been quite conciliatory,
and had made tea In the fine old Wor-
cester teapot that had come down In
the family for generations. Then Doro-
thy dropped the sugar bowl, and that
ended everything.
Aunt Jerusha had several peculiari.

whom she called rogues. Another was

Romance Of Poverty.

The romance Of American poverty is
that remaining In It IL optional. You
may be born to poverty but you are not
born TO remain there. There are thou
sands born to uncertain existence and
retain their heritage. Other thousands
born to like disadvantage change the
grade and rise above II. The chains Of
environment hold hard. but they arc
easily broken by an intelligent. ener-
getic will. Many Of llfe's finest noble
men are children Of hard times. But
they, were fred with fine sense Of
their own worth, and the will to realize
ideals. The fact that others have risen
gave both example and motive. The
zeal of their own blood did the rest.
And history has been proud to enroll
them among her favored sons. Tho
story is the romance Of poverty.
