Sparrow in New Role.

An incident probably unique in the
annals of the stage was witnessed by
a crowded house at the opera house
in Cape Town during matinee. I'm
mediately the. curtain rose on the gar
den scene In which a parrot and perch
are a feature, a sparrow flew. down
from the dome of the theater onto the
stage and hoped and flew about quite
fearlessly, picking up the parrot food
and the ground rice (thrown in this
scene) at the feet of the astonished
actors. taking not the slightest notice
of their movements, not even the dane
ing disturbing its equilibrium. When
the scene neared it's end the sparrow
flew up onto the front of the dress cir
Gle and then disappeared in the dome.
The incident caused the greatest
amusement, both to the company and
to the audience-the latter being quite
under the impression that the sparrow
had been trained oaa -v-ns mart of the
show.

The man was attired in the height of
fashion. He wore no ornament except
small discolored ring. pendant from
silken watch ribbon crossing his
vest. His face was bronzed, his hands
scared and rough. With all Of these
incongruities. it would have puzzled
even skilled physiognomist to deter
mine his exact social and business
status.
He bore a thin package about the
size of an ordinary window pane, COW
cred with wrapping paper, under his
arm. Whoever or whatever he was,
he was seriously intent upon the busi-
ness in hand. He stood with one foot
on kitchen doorstep his ear bent
within. Then he placed his package
carefully tilted against the house and
stole on tiptoe across the first room
beyond.
In the adjoining one table was set
with three persons around it, gray
haired old man, his gentle-faced wife
and girl of about twenty, evidently
their daughter. At one side of the
table was a plate reversed, knife, fork
and spoon. cup and saucer and nap
kin encircled by silver band, and as
the eyes of the intruder noted this, he
fairly suppressed great gasp and his
eyes moistened and his strong face
quivered
Dear old folksr' he breathed and
then off and down went his hat, his
head bowed reverently. The old man
was asking blessing upon the homely
meal. The watcher stole across the
kitchen floor, noiselessly dropped into
the empty chair at the table and sat
there trembling and expectant as the
old mans voice concluded the formal
grace with the earnest words:
"And bring back to us our dear
wandering boy"
And then the reverent heads were
lifted and old John Davis, his staring
eyes fixed upon the wandering boy re-

unbelieving at this apparent imme-
| date answer to prayer. The mother
uttered fervent cry, the sister, Leila,
was at his side in one swift whirl of
her supple body, her arms about his
neck and crying. laughing. sobbing for
sheer unrestrained JOY. And then none
thought Of the meal for the moment.
The glad greetings over, the fathers
set, wrinkled face was restored to its
usual grim composed aspect.
$50 you have come back to us?' he
spoke.
""And you are glad of it" cried
Eldred Davis. dad, think Of 1t,
twelve years and I'm back at that far
away morning, when you ordered me to
take the money had saved and pay
for putting in the window pane in Mr..
Sloans shed you insisted I had broken.
Recollect? I was to get the strapping
of my life if 1 disobeyed. Well, was
full Of spunk and / rebelled."

Il wandered everywhere. I've had
great ups and downs. Then l hit it
last year in Alaska I'm back rich
man." and Eldred produced from vari-
GUS pockets rich articles of jewelry--
a diamond brooch for his mother, a
gold watch for father, an exquisite
pearl necklace for fond, faithful Leila.
An hour went by, two, during the re-
cital Of extraordinary adventures, in
buoyant plans for the future, such as
settling down in business in the home
town.
"I've something to say to you said
Mr.. Davis, as the women folks busted
themselves in another room. "You re-
member l have made it point all of
my life never to break a promise"
"Thats you, dad" declared Eldred
emphatically.
I'm proud of you, for you've made
man of yourself, can see that"
pursued the old man, "but my word is
my word. / sent you out to mend a
window. I told you strapping was
coming If you disobeyed."
why, yes. that's it, father" assent
ed Eldred, rather taken abaek.
''Well, you disobeyed and-you've
got to take your medicine"

FALSE PRIDE Is SOME
TIMES RESPONSIBLE
FOR HIGH PRICES

Many people who really could not
mobile because a neighbor, with lit
tie more money, owned high-priced
car Many women have insisted on
buying high-priced footwear because
they saw other women wearing them.
Many limitations have been accept
ed, with resulting disappointment The
extremely fashionable, delicately
made, exclusively de luxe shoes cost
big money to produce. Manufacturers
have made them ana merchants have
sold them because many women
would have none other.
People have talked lot and COM
planned a lot about high-priced shoes,
and at the same time overlooked the
fact that there were many moderately
priced shoes to be had.
Last spring some foolish person
started a rumor that sugar was going
to be scarce and high priced. Many
people rushed out and bought sugar
they did not need. Of course, prices
rose because of the immediate scare
ity created by foolish buying. In
few days sugar refiners announced
that there was no basis for high
prices, and the demand falling off,
brought prices back to normal.
The enormous demand for certain
shoes caused a shortage of certain
feathers. People insisted on having
those shoes, declining to buy the
more conservatively styled and mod
erately priced footwear. Prices went
up.
There are today large stocks of ex-
cellent shoes, well made and very
handsomely fashioned, on dealers
shelves to be sold at moderate prices.
There are plenty of good looking and
good wearing shoes to be had at S.,
Sc and 81.
If you can afford luxuries-by all
means have them. But don't buy any
thing you cannot afford simply be-
cause someone else, who has more
money, buys it. In other words, if
you can afford a $4,000 automobile
buy it. But if your limit is 5000
don't exceed it,
BUY ACCORDING TO YOUR PURSE
DON'T STINGE, AND DON'T WASTE
