Now, as every one knows, when Ma gician has book of magic, he can read in it and find out how to work all sorts of magical charms, so the Magician lost no time in reading how to escape from a prison.
 At first, he thought of changing him self into a mouse and climbing through the bars of the cell and had almost said the magic words to make the change when he happened to think, No!

 It was the street corner where the little old man stood. at the corner she had meant to avoid. Trudie hid her self in the crowd.

 It was only small office position but Trudie was bound to make good. In spite of the uninteresting, tiresome details. she did the days work with such accuracy and thOroughness that the first of the month she was promoted.
 True, it was not much of a promo tion, but her new duties gave her an l opportunity to use her brains; to show if she had any business ability.
 So successfully did she demonstrate to the firm that she had, that step by step Trudie Andrews went from ad- vancement to advancement until by the end of eighteen months she had worked up to the head of her department.

 4 She had na money to spend on even S6 Kmalf luxury as bunch of vio- lets, but just because she was hard up, the pathos of the shabby, wispy little old man with his basket of purple bloom. went to her heart.
 "F'ifteen cents bunch, two punches for twenty-five.
 The expectant light that sprang into his eyes at prospective sale settled it. Truiie could not have turned away had it taken her last penny. ~They are lovely" She lifted a bunch to smell. And so very fra grant" asThat's because they are homemade violets." he said naively. We grow | them ourselves. l pick them and my wife, Annie, fixeE ,em up into bou- quets.'
 Trudie looked with gentle amuse- ment at the thread-tied bunch of stems in her hand. Very patient fingers had wrapped and wrapped.
 With the "bOo-quet" of homemade violets fastened to her coat that was almost as shiny from wear as that of the shabby little old man, Trudie went on up the street with duickened step and hopefulness.
 Somehow the sweetness and fresh- ness of that little bunch of purple bloom seemed to give a new fragrance to her attitude toward life, which through repeated disappointment and failure had been gradually growing cynical and sordid. A.

 Trudie smiled to herself and at her self It would not be very easy. to find another way that she could econo- mize.

 No doubt this was partly due to their being ''hOmemade" violets. Part ly because she took such care of them. For every night she set them out on her window sill in the cool darkness 1; every morning culled them over.

She hoped it did not mean that the patient was. suffering, in spite of the physicians verdict. An instant later the breathing would resume it's regular rhythm, and she was thankful.
 She closed her eyes and tried to pray. She felt the need of turning to someone great and strong as she faced this crisis in her life. What were she and Lois to do if their father were invalided?
 What would they do were he to die ? tightly together. Anything but that She had declaredethat she hated nurs- ing, but she would nurse her father day and night, do aiiythfng for him, endure any privations if his precious life might only be spared.
 Wiser people would have said this was foolish sentiment. She knew they would. But it was Marian H0r- tons way of loving, and she could not help it. '
 She started to her feet It was not like her to brood over situation that was as yet uncertain. Her principle had always been not to cross bridge until she came to it. She would not be miserable yet-not until it was ab- soluteiy necessary. She remembered ago.
 Buck up!" she ordered. There will be plenty of time to cry later---if ht is very i'll. If not, do not unnerve yourself by giving away now
 That had been common sense. Her present attitude was all wrong.
 To be sure, her father was seriously i'll. But he might finger on like this for months. That would be better than losing him entirely, she thought. She was to0 young to know that there are worse things than death.
 Anyway, she was doing him no good by running ahead to meet trouble.
 Going across the room she took a book from the table and sat down to read. She could not bear to watch that unnatural face.
 When at the end of the hour Miss Dalton, the trained nurse, arrived, she found the sick mans younger daughter 50 calm and self-possessed that she drew a sigh of relief. Lois, who had met her upon her arrival, had been in such a nervous state that the nurse had feared she was to be on duty in a house of neurasthenic women.

when any one nds a whole lot of nice things to eat and is so selfish and stingy he will mot share his goodies with another, especially his own puppy dog, then it is no wonder that he has a stomach ache.
 And that is just what the mean old Magician got, a great big stomach ache and of course it served him just right.
 The Magician sat down upon the floor in the prison cell in the nice fat police mans ouse and howled and his puppy dog, Hector, jumped up and down outside the bars and parked and parked.
 Then. after awhile the Magician quit cry ing for his stomach ache had left. II wish you would run home, Hector, and get me my magical book it is on the table in the parlor.'

 In their talks together--for there was no rush of customers to hurry Trudie learned all about the little old man and his wife, Annie.
 They owned their own home-a three-room cottage on the outskirts of town, with little yard, where they grew their violets and lavender. That would be on sale later when the vio- let season was over. Annie braided it into the most wonderful lavender balls you ever saw. They sold fine. And at the rear sof their little place was an old shed they rented to a neighbor in the peanut business to keep the handeart he trundled about in. But this was only for the time being. Some day they would have the old shed torn down for they had other uses for the ground.

Nearly every citizen knows Of this

the motives Of the Scout movement.
The Boy Scouts are not a military

Scouting. through its program
trains the boys for their greatest out

craft which counteracts the monot-

social ideals-arouses thought Of the

higher places in life.
