CHAPTER VI
The Secret Glad


The frightened miser fed through
the woods.
Jack and Janet were astonished to
see his panic. They had played
ghosts to scare the robbers who were
stealing the miser's gold: they hadn't
thought to drive away the miser him
self.
Jack and Janet, staring into the
miser's deserted house, didn't know
what TO do. They had frightened off
the robbers, but the miser's gold and
jewels were still there.
If we leave the gold and jewels in
the house the robbers may come back
in the morning ard get them" said
Jack.
Let us take them to the house of
the poor sick man. said Janet. The
sick ann is the miser's son. If he
takes care Of his fathers wealth per
haps the father Will give him his
rightfui share of it,
That seemed a fine idea, so Jack
climbed off his pony's back, crept
through the window and got the sacks
of gold and silver. He gave the sack
Of jewels TO Janet TO carry, for hat
was the lighter of the two, and he
placed the sacks of gold upon the
back of his W pony. Then mount.
ing. he and Janet rode into the woods

"Whoo! ToO-whoo! I'll catch you'll"
stricked Judge Owl over the miser's
head, and the miser ran until he could
run no more. Jack and Janet caught
up with him as he staggered along.
He saw their sheeted forms and their
hollow eyes, and he thought that was
the end of him. He dropped on his
knees and held up his hands.
"Oh, please, kind ghosts, spare my
life!" he begged.
Jack gave a ghostly groan. III we
spare your life what will you do?"
he said in a voice as deep as he could
make it
Il will be good" moaned the miser
81 will love my family instead of my
gold and jewels"
you have loved your gold and
jewels too much" said Jack in the
same deep voice.
They nearly have cost me the loss
of my life" %groaned the miser. Il do
not love them any more
"If you get them back what will
you do?" asked Jack.
81 will give half of my gold and half
of my jewels to my sick son." prom
ised the miser. "They are his right
full share and with them he can get
back his health, feed his little ones,
and buy a fine farm
and what will you do with the
other half?" asked Jack.
Il will help my neighbOrs in their
troubles promised the miser. Il
will give work to those who need 1t,
l will aid the worthy to build up for
tunes Of their own"
Then your life shall be spared
said Jack. And here are your gold
and your jewels"
With that Jack and Janet threw the
sacks OF gold and jewels to he
ground beside the miser and rode
away.
But they didn't go far. They watch
ed silently to see if the miser would
be true 10 mis- word.
And he was. He picked up his
sacks of gold and jewels, and lie lug
ged them to the little cabin OF has
sick son.
The sweet-faced woman opened the
door at his knock.
'Ny dear daughter, | have come to
give you half of my wealth. said the
miser. Il am going to love my dear
ones instead of gold and jewels"
Then was the secret sad turned into
a secret glad. For with money to hire
doctors and buy medicine and food
the father could be brought back to
health, the children would have plenty
to eat, and the family would be as
happy as the day is long.
Jack and Janet were happy, too, as
they galloped back home TO return to
bed. They had learned the secrets OF
the nignt-secrets sad, secrets bad
and secrets glad. And the secrets
glad made up for all the others.

Plan Conference
To Talk Effects
OF S. c. Decision

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June g.
The California railroad commission
today invited the public utility COM
missions of Oregon, Washington. Ne
vada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico
and Texas to a conference in San
Francisco June 19 to discuss possible
joint action by those states with ref
erence to the separation of the South
ern Pacific and Central Pacific rail-
roads ordered by the United States
supreme court in its recent decision
in the Central Pacific dissolution
case.
1t is expected that the conference
will consider whether an appeal
should be made to the interstate COM
merce commission urging the latter
to exercise the powers conferred upon
it by the transportation act of 1920,
for the consolidation of regional rail-
road systems. 1t is pointed out that
the interstate commerce commission
already has made a preliminary study
looking to the grouping of the various
railroad systems, and if consolidated
should be recommended by the con :
ference, the effect would be merely
to hasten consideration of the uni
flying system of the western carriers.
