Girl Who Smiled Thru
By MARION RUBINCAM

What's her name?" one asked.
| shes the Happy Lady, didn' 1e
! know dat2" one OF them answered in
scorn at tho others ignorance.
The Happy Lady. Ell? That's a
good name,' David said. He stared
at the door through which Alice had
disappeared. Yes, she was a Happy
smile, her shining eyes, her sudden
laugh. Even In repose she seemed
radiant-as she had looked when
with her glowing armful of flowers
she disappeared into the dark little
house.
h came out presently, her blue
eyes serious n appealing.
Would you like to do something
awfully, awfully nice?" she asked.
David looked deep down into that
exquisite color, 50 deep he almost
forgot to nswer, Then he caught
himself.
"Of course" he answered.
"Peppita-that's my little friend
has been feeling badly. Would you
k to drive her out to the Farm
for weeks"
Sure" David answered slangily.
But as Alice ran back for her charge
he felt a. sudden disappointment.
And not even the obvious pleasure
OF the shy. pale faced Italian girl
made up to him the loss of the sole
championship of the Happy Lady.
But when his errand was done.
and Peppito had been deposited at
her home again, he cheered up. At
least, he was alone with Alice for the
all too brief drive to her house.
Now, for being good, you'll let me
call on you tonight. won't you?" he
asked.
Alice smiled with pleasure, then
she remembered something and
shook her head.
II neglected all my afternoon work
and I must do 1t tonight" she de-
cided. But she noted his look Of
disappointment, tomorrow even
ing? ?"
Until tomorrow then" HI answer
ed. And again she felt the rush of
a warm sweet emotion. And with
the start OF g song on her lips she
ran up the steps of her house.

II am quite at your service. Mrs.
Lorimer." said DR.. Travers politely,
but without much enthusiasm as he
helped me oversize. We rowed
noiselessly away from the lone"
Nobody heard us-nobody saw us.
When we were at a safe distance
from the yacht Travers set the en-
CINE to going.
1t was absurd, of course, that I.

"Oh la! la!" l vas saying to myself
Just as Travers turned from the en-

"1-l-don't know" ] stammered.
'but l think you do. 1 fancy you
know this coast pretty well?"
Fairly. I've lived in the town two
years"
where is there a bit of shore like
this?" l described the spot l had
seen in my haunting vision. Put into
words, my description might have
fitted a million strips of ocean beach.
But Travers had an Imagination.
Moreover he was trying to humor my
absurd within. And have it over with,
perhaps.
There's something like that

can we make it-there and back
| before the yacht sails at dawn"
"Easily-if we have the gas"
Travers turned a nashlight on the
gas gauge. but what do you want
to go to that deserted spot for at this
time of the night? 1t isn't humanity
possible for me not to ask that ques-
ton, you know" he concluded as he
headed the boat for tho shore.
l told him about the haunting vi
sion and of how Daddy Lorimer had
scoffed at me for h%arboring 1t.

suggested he might sail before tho
dawn, IL he took a notion to. But OF
course he wouldn't sail without you
on board, Mrs. Lorimer."
Goodness graciousl" was my
comment. They will not investigated
They will think that you and / are

I'VE should worry" came back the
comforting suggestion. They'll miss
this boat-and they will wait until

echoed. IT'S all turning out right.
Maybe we will not make this trip for
nothing"
Travers did not reply. He didn't
seem to feel as optimistic as ] did.
We had been racing toward the
shore at a great speed. The Lorimer
boats are the finest that money can
buy. We could no longer distinguish
the yacht in the distance. We didn't
come upon any spot which corre-
sponded at all to my vision.
We two seemed alone together in
. the world-a vast n silent world.
And Travers seemed to have lost all
Interest in conversation. l hoped he
wasn't getting a little exasperated
with the proceeding.
We moved slowly parallel to the
| curves of the land. Tt would be hard
for US to distinguish human beings
on the sands-if there happened to
be any in that unfortunate state.
Thinking so, an idea came to me.
1--WE must fix a signal light" I
cried. These lanterns will do-a
red and a white set above a blue one
at the PROV. Any Imaginative per-
son ought to get that correctly"
We made the blue light by tying

A few days after the visit to the
Model Farm Alice CHANGED upon
David Thorne driving out of the liv-
cry stable n few blocks from her
home. He had the same little run
about and the same gray horse with
which they had driven to Five Cor
hers.
Want to Gomez" he asked cor
daily, as he pulled up the horse and
Jumped to the pavement.
I'd like to, but l can't this after
noon" Alice said. reluctantly.
What are you doing then ;" he
asked, looking at the string bag
that swung from her arm, and at the
gigantic bunch Of roses she held.
I'm going visiting" she told him.
Visits can always be put off," he
MOT this one" Alice answered de-
cidedly, And as he continued to
urge, she added:
"Over in the foreign section there's
q little girl of fourteen who has been
crippled for two years. I go over
packages with surprises in them. And
7 mustn't disappoint her now"
IAN right. I'll go along" David
decided suddenly. Maybe We can
drive your young friend round her
block. If it would amuse her"
1T WOuIC pc neaFen Tor ner, Allce
said, and her eyes shone.
They drove over to that section OF
the town commonly known as "Dago-
town." though only a part of its
population was Italian. Every town
or city has such a section; they look
alike. they are all equally dreary.
Some of the houses were wood. many
were piece upon piece of rusted tin,
a very few were Of brick. Rubbish
collected faster than it could be
swept away, and no attempt to pave
the streets had apparently ever been
made. AS Pennington was small,
the houses in the foreign quarter
boosted small chicken rum AND gar
dens, fenced off by dead branches of
trees interlaced with more rusted
bits OF tin,
It was q general dead level Of
browns and dull grays, and in Its
setting Alice and her huge bunch of
red roses fairly radiated light and
color and cleanliness.
h disappeared into n OF the
houses, while David and his carriage
were promptly surrounded by a
group of unwashed urchins. He
amused himself for a time by hand
ing out pennies, until tho small
group grew to immense proportions
and his change gave out.
"Is she a teacher" one youngster
asked, jerking his thumb to the
house, to indicate Alice.

PROSPECTS GLOOMY
FOR CAR STRIKE

Prospects for an early settlement Of
the strike of the motormen and con-
ductors of the Columbia Railway Gas
& Electric company were decidedly
gloomy last night at the conclusion Of
conference held between represen-
tatives of the men and officials of the
company. The outlook now is that
the strike will be Of long duration.
The men and the company have
come to the point where wages is the
sole issue involved. The difference in
the wage scale proposed by the COM
pany and that proposed by the men is
two cents pc hour
Section IS of the 1919 contract,
which section was to the effect that
when a man was discharged from the
union he must also be discharged
from the employ of the company, has
been definitely abandoned by the
men and they have accepted sub
stitute proposed by the company, so
that this section no longer plays a
part of the differences of the two
parties

STARTLING FIGURES.

According to figures prepared by
Prof a. F. Conradi of Clemson COL
lege the damage which the boil
weevil is likely to do in South Caro-
lima during 1920 is appalling when
we consider the total figures, which
run from thirty-five to forty million
dollars. Prof Conradi estimates the
loss at from 20 per cent lin Beau
fort, Charleston and other coast
counties, down to as low as Is per
cent. in some of the upper counties.
In the face of these figures we can
not afford to take too many chances
on making that lone more big CROP
A safe and sane farming system
will insure at least the production
of the necessary food for man and
beast. Less than this will prove
suicidal.

The day is almost over, and it's toiling
time is through;
Is there any one to utter now a kind
ly word to you?
Did you give a cheerful greeting to
the friend who came along,
Or churlish sort of "howdy," then
vanish in the strong?
Were you selfish, pure and simple, as
you rushed along your way,
Or is some one mighty grateful for a
deed you did todayo
Can you say tonight. in parting with
the day that's slipping fast,
the many that you passed?
Is (; single heart rejoicing over what
you did or said?
Does the man whose hopes were fad
ing now with courage look
ahead?
Did you waste the day or lose it? Was
it we'll Or poorly spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness or a
scar of discomfort
AS you close your eyes in slumber do
you think that God would say,
You have earned one more tomorrow
by the work you did today?"
