turned to the shop and took
l. up his duty. Tie mists were
swept from his brain. the look OF
pain had left his eyes. There was
still a dull ache at his heart, but
he felt he could face the world
boldly. The little red-headed boy
was gone, and ALI was alone In

thoroughly.
Presently there was a step ct
the door and a lady entered. ALI
glanced up.
1t was Joan Tallbois. There was
a hesitant, apologetic look in her
eyes. Blodmore stared at her In
utter establishment.
"Alf," she said pathetically,
flushing a little. II hope l
wasn't abrupt when we met this
morning? We are old friends. I
felt that l must come down here

"Youre-you're heartily well

you've come, m'lady."
Don't call me that" she said al.
most impatiently. "Alf. j came be-
cause there are things l have to
say. 1 want to ask you some
thing"
She broke off abruptly, and
glanced toward the window: there
was apprehension, almost fear In
them, and ALI saw It.

asked quickly.
"A man has been watching and
following me all the way-ever

"I don't think can describe him:

ALI came round the counter to
the door and looked rapidly up and
down the street. II was almost
deserted, except for few children,
and there was nobody in sight an.
swering TO Joan's description. ALI
asked her to look for herself and

Perhaps II was her fancy.

THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST
BY Aline Michaelis-
Youth

~ AID Hiram Hicks: IT'S mighty
plain that wonders grow and
~ grow; men have the phone
and aeroplane, they talk by radio.
They've tunneled through the
mountain sides and bridged the
widest streams: they go beneath
the sea for rides; they plow with
gas for teams. They've ample
grounds to boast and brag on
things they do. .forsooth, and yet
they've struck one awful snag-
they can't bring back lost youth.
Oh, here's where scientists fall
down and never rise again; they
lose their prestige and renown and
monkeys die in vainv 1t seems
old Hiram Hicks was right, for,
much as men have sought, youth
fades like mists before the light, a
thing no gold has bought. And
though old age finds men appalled,.
all bribes to live are spurned and
youth can never be recalled, as
Ponce de Leon leapned. When life
has passed that first, fresh flood,
and tides are ebbing low, no skill
can stir the sluggish blood to
dreams It used to know. And when
the bud Is once a rose. no touch or
craft or art, no spell that any
magic knows can hide it's glowing
heart. They pass, the roses and
the spring, the butterflies and flow
ers; and golden youth is on the
wing, as swift as golden hours.
And that is why we hold Il sweet
and crown It with our song, be.
cause the days of youth are fleet
and time is grim and long. But
II we held 1t at our will, youth
could not be so dear; the glamour
would be gone, the thrill and
sweetness disappear. Let scientists
plod DULY on in scientific ways.
they'll never hold the flush OF
dawn nor lengthen youthful days.

GRANDDAD'S CHANCE

found mapping and reading by
turns, dropping in his corner and
waiting for the last call. But thee
incident sketched above shows
that he may vet render a valuable,
service to the second generation
below him.
Most certainly such applicatioHi\
for an aged man will tend to iniS
prove the health, to freshen the
mind and to cheer the waning
spirit. Let us do our best TO ex-
tend the idea of the granlfatber-
as child leader to all who may
make use of 1t.
Let us see. Following the sug:
gestion in definite ways, what can
a grandfather do as guardian OF
the young?
He can take the children out TO
observe the living things of ma
ture-the trees and the birds.
He can show them how to con-
struct a log bridge, a mill race o.,
a dam, and thus interest them I'M
present-day Industrial projects. - !.
He can show boys how TO make
the<r own kites, tops and bows

practically.
He can encourage small girls to.
construct their own play depart
ment near at hand, and how to as, {,
semble their play materials. \,
He can indicate ideals Of fair
ness and cooperation among chill.
dren playing In groups, and thus
give them the beginnings Of self. ,
government.
He can encourage promptness.
home obedience and otherwise pro.
mote a code of juvenile ethics and
honor.
He can encourage his young pro-,
teges to grow flowers, to produce,
miniature gardens. and to consider
appropriate matters Of childhood
thrift and enterprise. d,
He can teachsthe larger children,
to respect the possessions and the
rights OF smaller ones and can thus
lay a small foundation for economic
good will in the future.
Now, let the relatives and guar
dians of all the grandfathers Of the
sprightly three-score -and.ten class
put their wits to work for evolving
schemes whereby these aged ones
