they were married.
Home from the wedding tour, Joe
asked his wife If she would like to take
short trip to the school to see little
Jerry. She seemed pleased to go. Jerry
was brought into the reception room.
Though he had large, soft, appealing
eyes, and a very wlnsome mouth, he
was every inch boy, and ran to his IA

neck, and beginning to ask at once
what he had brought him.

mot just yet son--but after a while
when you get better acquainted"
Aiken cuddled the little head closely
to his breast. The pathos of the child
heart that did not even know what
mother meant rather choked his utter
ance. But the mute appeal In his eyes
would have prompted most women to
have cried out: Bring the little fel.
low home Let me try to be mother"
But Charlotte said nothing, and was
considerably relieved when they wees
once more at home.
When vacation time drew near,
Aiken mentioned the school closing.
and hoped his wife would suggest
Jerry coming home, but as she did not,
and made the summer plans without
him, he did not insist on the child
coming, but went instead to see him.
Over year went by. Then there
came little girl baby to them. Char
lotte was real mother" Joe was
very happy In seeing that 1t was real"
and that the mother.heart had
awakened in her. AS the months went
on, Joe began to hope she would now
ask for Jerry, but her own child
seemed to engross all her time and
thought. Joe loved the little girl dear.
", but always there haunted him the
appealing eyes Of the little boy who
had no 'real mother"
When the baby girl was little more
than year old she died. The mother
was well nigh crazed with the loss Of
her child, and Joe had the double task
Of bearing his own grief, and trying to
comfort his wife. He dreaded having
to start on long business trip, and
leaving her in the quiet, lonesome
house, but he had to 60.
Charlotte sitting alone one day took
a sudden resolve. 1t was the vacation
time, and she got ready and took the
train to the place where Jerry lived.
The aunt met her rather coldly. Char
lotte begged her to let Jerry come
home with her. Miss Aiken objected.
She had had the boy so long she had
become greatly attached to him.
II have had to be mother to him."
she said 81 can't give him up unless
my brother insists on it."
Then Charlotte opened her heart to
the woman. She saw how the mother
had awakened. and how her soul was
torn by the loss Of her own child; she
could not stand out against these
things, and consented.
Charlotte said nothing to Joe. When
he came home, and the boy ran to meet
him, his surprise was so great, he could
only smile his Joy to Charlotte. Then
she said: "Jerry, are we good friendsi"
And the little chap answered: "Sure
as you live" Then he added: Daddy,
I've got the best mumsy! Artie Lee
vere's wasn't near so bully!" Then a
few minutes later: Have I got to 60
back to Aunt Ida?"
ut will be as 'mumsy' says" an
swered Joe.
Charlotte caught the little fellow,
and Rugged him tightly to her breast,
sobbing out: "Neverl"
No other child ever came to them.
Sometimes Charlotte wondered II the
little girl who only staid year was
the angelic way Of teaching her les
son.

IN Just tell you frankly Joe, the
prospect Of being stepmother to q boy

But Jerry is a lovable little chap.
You'd get on with him all right"
I tell you I'm afraid to try. No
matter how hard they try, all step
mothers are supposed to be in the
wrong"
You know dear, I would not think
that. But anyway you would not be
troubled much with Jerry. He is at
good school. and is doing SO we'll. I
have no idea Of taking him away. He
has been spending his vacations with
my sister, and he could 60 on doing
So"
There was no mistaking the adoring
gaze In Joe Aiken's honest eyes. Just
then nothing mattered but to hold as
bis own the love and companionship Of
the girl before him who tapped the
floor Of the veranda with q small,
dainty foot, and put up perfect arm
to brush back some blown locks Of
brown hair. The pretty gown of soft
pink set off her loneliness, and Joe said
to himself she was exquisite from
head to foot.
Charlotte Blynn had not told him
she did not like children. She knew
no man wants to hear q woman say
that At once the man thinks she is
rather an abnormal, unpleasant crea-
ture. Charlotte did not wish him to
think so, for she really loved the man
who sat there pleading with her to be

bored and bothered her, and the pros

Of six was rather appalling.

Pottery the Oldest Art.

Pottery is the oldest, the longest and most widely dlffused of all human arts. its history, if recorded, would be as old as the history of man; it's record ed history begins with the building of the tower Of Babel. The oldest pot tery known is Egyptian, but every peo- pie, civilized or barbarian, has prac- riced the art in one or another form. All study in every department of art begins at period not long after the Mosaic deluge, but pottery is the earliest of all forms of art.
