Hearts s Desire
By MARY BELL

If you'd rather win your legacy on that I'm sure you could prove you are a professional pianist. Which is it to be?"
 "I don't believe it will be either" answered Joan as she walked towards her desk which was filtered with sheets of typewritten paper. "This is where I'd like to shine, but nobody wants my stories"
 But, Joan," interrupted Sylvia, eff you get the legacy by proving that painting is your profession, then you can afford to devote all your time to writing. Wouldn't that be satisfac- tory?"
 'No, according to Mir. Maberly's ex- planation that would not be accept able, so I may as well resign myself to its loss right now"
 That's n downright shame" said Sylvia. "You certainly desgrve it. Well, guess I've got to go back to work. Can you lend me some Chinese white? I'm just finishing sketch and l don't want to take the time to go out and get some."
 "Of course, I can. Will this be enough?" questioned Joan as she handed Sylvia partly filled tube of paint.
 After Sylvia left the room. Joan looked once more at the letter, then slowly read aloud, Unless my niece has shown conclusive proof that she has definitely decided to concentrate on one branch of the arts before she is twenty. seven years of age she will forfeit her share in my estate and her portion will

desired proof before that day, so I guess l will have to forego my dear uncle's legacy. I do think it's a strange condition, as Uncle Tom always seemed interested in my work"
 Then slipping the letter with its dis quieting information into its envelope she flung it into q tray and stretching her long, graceful arms, slowly stood up and looked around her studio with it's rich furnishings. For several years Joan Fairweather had followed her fancy wherever it led her. A clever musician, she had spent both time and money on attaining wonderful technique as a pianist, only to decide that after all she preferred painting. This next become her vocation till one day she an- nounced she was going to be writer. Her father, from whom she had in- berited her artistic gifts, was delighted with her efforts at self-expression, al- though he did not survive long enough to share her successes. Her mother had died when she was schoolgirl and so when she was left alone-her broth CTS and sisters were married and had their own interests--her uncle inter ested himself in his clever niece. Tom Colson was a practical man and could not understand the apparent flightiness of his sisterss child, but in spite of her swift changes of allegiance he stood by her, believing that one day she would settle down and develop the steadiness and practicability that characterized her mother.
 As Joan started to gather up the sheets of paper strewn on her desk she murmured, II guess I'll finish my novel? but I know I can never produce the proof that I've decided on a definite profession in time to get that legacy. Well, something may turn up."

Indeed! They wouldy' a fierce Brigand said. 'Then, when we find where the treasure is buried, we will come back and get them and make them dig for the treasure while we sit down and play cards and have fun!"
 That is an excellent idea, Selfish !' The Brigand leader said to the man who had spoken. "Now, as we wish to get m early start, we must all get to sleepw
 So the Brigands all prepared to roll up in their blankets for the night when the man called Selfish" said, Maybe. it would be good plan to search the captives before we go to sleep"
 You always think of the right thing to dol" the Brigand leader said as he went over and felt in Raggedy Andy's pockets. Here's a nice jack knife !'' he said, then when he felt in Raggedy Ann's apron pocket he found the candy covered cookies. And here is a map showing that the treasure is buried

CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER
 <<0H, IT'S only you!' exclaimed Se Joan Fairweather as she opened
 the door of her studio and saw n fellow artist on the threshold.
 That's a nice way to greet me, Joan," said the girl, whose pretended look of annoyance quickly gave place to sunny smile.
 Forgive me and come in, Sylvia" begged Joan as she slipped her arm about the girl. i've just had a most exciting letter and naturally expected another thrill when heard you knock" !"
 What's the news? Has somebody left you a fortune?" queried Sylvia Desmond excitedly, quite forgetting that she had come to borrow some paint.
 Joan curled her lips as she handed a letter to her friend. You'll find I'm losing a fortune, not falling heir to il" !" she added with a whimsical smile.
 Do you mean me to read it?" asked Sylvia as she raised her eyes to Joan.
 Surely" she answered, while Sylvia drew the sheets from the envelope.
 For a minute there was silence ex- cept for the cracking of the heavy bond paper as Sylvia turned the pages of the iawyer's- letter. Then handing it back to Joan she declared, '"Oh Joan, you can surely claim this money. You must. It's a shame to let it go. Just look <at that picture on which you are working. Isn't that proof enough that you are a successful artist? Besides there are your lovely water colOrs. The only trouble with you is that you've been successful in so many lines that it's hard to know which you should choose as your profession.
 Joan smiled. You didn't know my Uncle Tom. He was a crank on con centratiOn. You see he. made his money by sticking exclusively to one thing. He would not even accept the smallest office in any of the subsidiary com panies that were eventually affiliated with the one he founded" .--
 But" interrupted Sylvia, you can surely declare that painting is your pro- fession. I don't see why the lawyer hesitates in this matter at all. You have all the proof. Your pictures have been well hung and we'll written up and you will have sold more than one. Besides, if that doesn't satisfy the crusty old lawyer just play for him.

 Now we cannot escape! Raggedy Andy said when he was certain the Brigands were sound asleep, Cause that old Brigand leader took my jack knife and I have no way of cutting the ropes we are tied with!'
