IN THE GREENHOUSE

"Shall I take you on a little trip
through the green-house?" asked the
Fairy Queen of some Of the Fairies.
ut Is a wonderful park greenhouse
and there are many interesting plants
from all around. I've been there and
can tell you about good many Of the
plants and blossoms II you'd like to
take such trip"
The Fairies had said they would like
some new kind Of trip, and so the
Fairy Queen had suggested this.
"The house isn't a house painted
green, you know. A greenhouse such
as I'm speaking of means house for
flowers and ferns and shrubs.
"We'd love to 60 on the trip you sug-
gest," said the other Fairies. "When
will you take us?"
"After the visitors leave" said the
Fairy Queen. "We will 60 late this af-
ternoon."
So all the fairies who were going on
the trip got ready in their new out
door suits which no one could see be-
cause they looked the color of air.
If you can see that color and know
what it is you're very. very smart!
"Now we're off," said the Fairy
Queen, some time later.
They went to the greenhouse. At
tached to the big one were many

Cat. Not. Mentioned in Bible.

The cat is not mentioned in the Bi-
BILE, although the Israelites were long
dwellers in Egypt and must have seen
and known 1t in its most favorable
habitat.
Shakespeare knew well the value Of
the cat, for he refers to it many times
in his plays. He makes Antonio in
''The Tempest" say of the proletariat
that "they take suggestion as cat
laps up milk" He makes Claudio say
that II Benedick had just little more
mettle than cat he could kill care.
Shylock makes reference to the cat In
the trial scene, to the effect that as
there is no firm reason to be rendered
in the case Of the harmless necessary
cat" as to why people get mad at it
and hate it. so he will give no reason
why he hates Antonio. Hamlet says.
''Let Hercules himself do what he may,
the cat will new, the dog will have his
day."

New Idea forLiohthouses,

It has been suggested that light
houses should have warning bells un-
der as well as above water, because in
a storm sound travels farther under
water than through the air. Expert.
ments, both in England and this coun-
try, have proved that bell struck un-
der water can be heard at a long dis
tance in the hold Of a ship. One in
vestigator, who has been exploring the
air, has made some interesting obser-
vations on the best methods Of signal
ing by sound. By applying parabolic
reflector to speaking trumpet, he Is
able to send the waves of sound in a
straight, compact beam, resembling In
its directness a ray Of light.

Mary's comment was little cry
"It would be better-it would!"
"But, oh, honey, I can't talk about
1t any more-I hope-well-good-by!"
Mary turned to the desk once more.
Out of the minutes of thought came
the final decision. He was trusted and
liked in the great importing firm; ne
had the respect of strong men; surely
he would be true to her If he was to
them.
She wrote the letter, slipped on
coat and went out to the mail box. On
her way she passed house where
rumor had told Of scandal and heart
break, and she paused, the cold ques-
ton rising In her heart: Suppose that
might happen to me? Must run the
risk?' Her imagination loOmed. She
knew she could love one man and one
only. The risk! No, she would not
take it. Into the ashcan that stood be-
side the post, ready for the night col
lectors Of refuse, she hurled the let
ter and rushed back home. She passed
belated errand boy and a tall man
who stared at her curiously.
In the seclusion of her room she
fought the old, old battle of the human
heart torn between longing for hap
piness and fear Of it. Sleep came In
the end II peace did not.
The next morning dragged with
weary feet. She could picture Stanley
watching for his mail and her familiar
notepaper. Then, hope gone. standing
tn silence and despalr-perhaps. FR
she suddenly realized that he was
strong-strong in the way of men who
take life lightly because they do not
fear it.
At noon, sharp with climax, her
world turned over. First, Bertha, with
tears in her eyes, explained that she
had found out that Stanley's girl at
cared for him in his youth, whose per-
sonal business he looked after and
whom he had called in his boyhOod
dearest" as he called her so in his
manhood. One Of the girls in the office
had taken his dictation when he was
very DuSy, dllu Adu SViNCu thC ny otSAy
Then came a gray messenger boy
with q word that left her dazed. The
| letter that she had dropped in the ash
can must have reached him. Over
| the ocean waters the steamships wire
less had thrust his brief word Of love
into the air, and the silent space had
winged it to the city and to her door.
Then a tall man had stopped at the
house, called for her, and explained
that the night before he had seen her
drop something into the ashcan, which
a boy ahead Of him had taken out and
dropped into the mail box. 'The un-
pardonable act of a mischievous boy,
/ he called it.
Mary's reply left him mystifed-her
reply and the tears In her eyes. "He
rescued my happiness from that ash
can."

Fate in an

By A. w. PEACH

g, 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.
Mary turned her back upon him and
looked out of the window into the dusk
filed street. Her fingers picked at
the curtain, but her mind was busy,
She was almost ready to turn and fly
into his arms-why did his mere pres
ence stir her so? But she kept herself
In hand and listened.
Tomorrow 1 go to New York. In
the morning 1 am sailing for London.
II you love me, ask me to come back
as soon as complete my business for
the firm. If you do not, l may not
come back for years. / can stay as
the firms AGENT will have nothing
to come back for, you know" he said,
his voice ending with light note or
amusement.
She turned upon him and looked at
him thoughtfully. Tall and slim, he
stood before her. his dark blue eyes
resting tenderly upon her. But that
note In his voice
STANLEY, do think so much OF you
so much-but something always
holds me back. You are $3.50 In
clined to take things lightly. and I
don't want to be taken lightly-nevef,
never! No-please don't touch me
There seems to be so little you regard
seriously-many things that l do; and
I don't want to intrust my life to you
and yet'-her voice brOke-"I do!
She stayed his quick effort to fold
her in his arms.
"Please give me time. I'll write you
to your hotel in New York-my final
decision. I'll write IL will marry
you; If I don't write, then youu

added easily, completing her unfinished
/ sentence. "But, remember, If you

When he had gone, she went slowly
to her room, face to face with the de-
cision that meant more than any other
decision she would ever make. She
sat down at the desk and mused. His
easy ways Of disposing Of matters OF
right and wrong, his 0ffhand decis-
ions, his careless attitude toward much
that she thought deserved .care-all
had combined to make her wonder.
A knock on the door was followed
by the appearance Of one Of the girls
In the house.
"Hello, Mary, Mary, and what are
you doing being contrary? Say, I saw
Stanley here. He Is one bonny speci-
men of a man. But, honest, honey, l
hope you won't marry him! feel
guilty for introducing him to you."
Bertha said soberiy.
Mary looked keenly at her old
friend. 'Well, am to decide in the

"Yes!"
al wish you wouldn't!"
Mary smiled. "Bert, have you
something you want to tell me and
yet won't?"
The other sat In silence, the laughter
gone from her eyes and face. Then,
after q little, she spoke:
aHe is attractive but there is some
thing-but / can't tell you."
Mary's hands grew cold on the desk.
She knew the stanch little comrade Of

Brain Work.

Hard thinking-concentrated brain
work-makes more drain on the body
than hard, physical labor. It is more
unnatural and less healthful.
At my club, medical friend was
telling Of an experience in Philadel-
phia, where he formerly lived. An in
ventor had been offered S1,5O0 by a
manufacturer, to perfect new device.
The inventor worked from 6 p. m. to
6 a. M, and accomplished his task.
He found that during those twelve
hours he had lost twelve pounds In
weight.
Brain workers should get some reg
ular physical work. Also plenty OF

smaller ones. They were all filed
with flowers and plants and palms
and mosses and ferns.
They saw some dear little cr0cuses
and tulips and daffodils outside the
door and then they went in. There
were many palms and trees from hot,
hot countries, known as the tropics.
1t was very hot in this house for 1t
had to be In order to have the plants
and trees grow as they would In their
native lands.
Gold fishes were swimming in little
pools and there were rocks and lovely
moss of different kinds growing from
the rocks and ferns everywhere, and
great tall palms which reached the
ceiling.
Some of the ferns hung down and
some were little ones. There were
ferns that grew In water and other
water plants growing there too. There
were sugar cane and coffee trees and
banana trees, and lovely maidenhair
ferns enjoying the shade.
Nearby were some cactus plants,
queer and knotty and ugly in a way
and yet rather fascinating.
Each plant had to be treated just
so-receiving what 1t would receive
in the way of heat and proper earth
and water as it would If growing In Its
own part of the world.
There were some palms with great
branches and spreading leaves. Plants
and ferns which had grown too fast
were clipped off so they wouldn't
60 up through the ceiling!
OF course they couldn't do that, but
they would push other plants out OF
the way and bend over and break
themselves so they had to be stopped
from growing too much.
In one house which was called the
'.show house. there were tulips Of all
colors and gay fiamingo lilies. orchids
which were called Indian Orchids and
srchids known as Tiger Orchids. The
Orchids were quite decided in letting
everyone know that they liked warm
and sunny weather and that they
would complain If the weather were
cloudy and bad, though they liked
drinks Of water.
There were long pink hanging
flowers which were called Medinilla
Magnifica! And there were red
flowers which dropped and hung down
in very attractive way and which had
the gorgeous name Of Acalypaa SAINT !!
There were flowers and plants from
other parts Of the world and some had
cOlored leaves.
And little humble bees came inaand
buzzed through the greenhouse room
where were the hyacinths and the for
get-me-nots and the jonquils and the
snapdragons and the Jack-in-the-Pu Pulpit
families.
The Fairies and the Fairy Queen
looked at everything and they whisper
ed little secrets to some of the flowers
while the flowers told the fairies OF
some Of their sweet secrets. Little
Friend Heliotrope told the Fairy
| Queen that she must take look at the
Butterfly plants which had blossoms
| of pink and white, rose and red and
lavender and which looked like but
terflies. They wanted so much to
be admired by the Fairies.
And the Bird OF Paradise flowers
with their. gorgeous blue and yellow
! flowers and the other members Of the
! family with their blue and white
| flowers which only bloomed once q
year for six weeks-all told the Fairies
/ who they were as have Just told you
