ALWAYS mysterious with clouds.
In front Of the little house was
"A funny little red road that was
going nowhere and didn't care
who knew II. IL went singing
along bending here, and curving
there, and stopping all at once and
going on again for no reason what
soever. And there was q garden
"A little darling Of q garden full
az old-fashioned flowers-pinks,
phlox, hollyhocks, and peoples Is
Fay As you please, and nice rosy,
generous lilly flowers. blue lilies
and tiger lilies. Up against the
house was a climbing rose and a
great vigorous vine Of h~eliotroPe,
purple with bloom and rich with
perfume, and at the back OF the
| house. always calling, calling night
and day, day and night, the sea,
the blue, blue sea.
And the sand By the sea was
=. white a. salt, and strange
| purple flowers grew IN the SAND
| close 70 the sea, and little sand
pipers ran up and down the white
sand like little runaway children,
calling to each other in their high
mining voices. You could sit by
the window in the little house for
hours and dream Of far lands, far
away, and the wind swept in
from the sea and sang in the CHM
new and roared strange tales Of
shipwreck and mutiny on the high
seas. and it was fun to build a
great fire in the fireplace and let
the flames roar back again to the
I. wind.
And those we loved came and
sat with Us by the fire. One there
was in particular, young and
handsome, and of q gallant cour-
age and high spirit, and he knew
the weight Of suffering and bitter
disappointment, for he was proud
and ambitious too, but he never
let his head droop nor his pride
fail.
He brought strange company to
the fireplace in the little home by
the sea. Hairy men from the
mountains, sunburned fellows
who follow the sea, plainsmen,
tanned and taciturn, and there
was one friend, a wild Welshman,
who had lived with the gypsies in
Austria and in Spain. How we
loved to sit by the fire and listen
to the Welshman's tales Of the
strange dark people who wan
dered from country to country,
and laughed and sung and
charmed their way through life.
And now II Is sold, the little
house on the slope of the gracious
hill, and strangers will live there
and wonder what sort Of people
we were who planted the little
garden, and how we could have il
in our hearts TO sell such a place
Of romance and mysterious charm.
But they did not know that for
US the Joy of the place was gone
when the gallant spirit that was
its Elimination and its sorrow
smiled and said to life, that had
been his place Of cruel torture.
Goodbye, proud world. I'm
going home"
But always, as long rs ! live,
when the wind sings In the CHM
ney ! shall see in my heart the
little house on the slope of the
gracious hill, and the soft black
eyes Of the one who loved it 30

were satisfied with taking just

days each"

recite:
Thirty days has September.

Exactly Mr.. Punch agrees.
We'll now the other eight months
were by no means so well behaved.

began to quarrel with each other

n advance Of the mode. The first demonstrates
eloquently the supple grace OF the new woolens.
1t is of very sheer tweed-jersey in a becoming
mixture of tan. brown and red. The bodice and
the skirt are smartly buttoned with pointed tabs.
The three pleats on the skirt contribute ease Of
movement, something very essential in a walking
Costume or any dress designed for informal
activity during the day.
The second model, contributes something OF
a new note, for it is of figured shantung. The
becoming collar is caught at the neck with a
knot, thus creating a smart neckline. The
sleeves flaunt flaring cuffs, while the skirt has
the new smart pointed yoke with godets set at

Discarded Paper Gave Pair
Start for Fortune;
One Prospered.

By EEA serrfee
DALLAS, Tex, Aug. 22.-There's
one man, Herman Klar, wealthy
owner of seven jewelry stores in
the southwest, would like to meet,
and he's Charlie Davis of Chicago

It was thirty-six years ago this
month that Klar, then a tough
little Chicago west slider, and
Charlie Davis started the business
romance that has made Klar rich.
They were street urchins of II
and they made their first penny
when they grabbed a newspaper
dropped by an elderly man and
ran of and sold it.
Pennies Multiplied
That penny bought two papers;
the two pennies bought four, and
so on the pennies multiplied
throughout a busy Tay.
At last, Klar Sc a paper to
an old Dutchman who was polish
ing a saloon floor. Absentmind-
edly, the old man handed him a
coin. Instead of nickel, it was
IS gold piece. Rich, The two
boys bought cheap pistols for
S165 each. A relative heard
about it and made the merchant
refund the money.
Then there was that immense for
tune-more than SIS.
Charlie didn't do so we'll; perhaps
wealth ruined him. Klar, with an
instinct for merchandising, used his
half to start little business. It
grew.
Started So Years Ago
Today he has jewelry stores in
Dallas, Fl. Worth and Beaumont,
Tex; Muskogee and Tulsa, Okla,
and Shreveport, La.
Just got to thinking about il"

old saloon worker thought was a
