T ^ Lizzie stood frying the crullers a golden brown, while Mrft. Reynolds sat in her favorite corner of the neat white kitchen. Though Lizzie had 1 proven herself capable in every line of housekeeping, Mrs. Reynolds could 1 not quite resign her habit of directing. Everything in the home which ; she had long made for her idolized J and really worthy son bad come un, I der her supervision, and it was difficult now to brook other rule, even of comi>etence. And surely, Lizzie was ? a Jewel. After various and innumerable maids had made fitful and unsatisfaci lory stays in the pretty flat, Lizzie arrived, and served with a skill seeming too good to he true; and Lizzie re5 mained. > Mrs. Reynolds found It was quite > possible to make both friend and comlidant of Lizzie without fear of later .' disappointment. And the elder woman accepted this companionship Joyfully, reullzing In the comfort received how very lonely she had heretofore been. For John Reynold's mother was not one in her exactions to win either , confidence or friendship. So no*\ . swaying to and fro In the rocker which Lizzie had brought from the living room, she relieved her mind 1 concerning a certain Betty Standlsh, 1 who had been presumptuous enough, i and successful enough, to win her ! John's affection. 5 "It Isn't," she told Lizzie, "as if he were a man to be taken with every pretty face. John never did flR around and make love, like other boys. ' He stayed at home and studied, and that's why he has gotten along so well with his engineering. But now, Just ! with that big promotion ahead and j all, for him to be taken with an Idle, . frivolous creature, who knows how to I do nothing hut spend her father's j money! What sort of helpmeet would j she he to a young man whose life for j some time tc come must be spent In ! overcoming obstacles? For John will have to travel far and*put up with much hardship. Will this musical, ten-party girl, be willing to go with him to the wilds, do you think?when 1 his duty calls?" Mrs. Reynolds In her eloquence had forgotten Lizzie's presence. The girl admired a tempting cruller on the end of a fork. "Maybe," she replied, "this Miss ' Standlsh loves your boy a lot; love can 11 make people like to do all sorts of '' hard, unusual things. And maybo s she's not so light, after all, Mrs. Reynolds. Do you know her?" The mother's lips tightened. 1 "I absolutely refused to meet her," | 1 she replied, "#hen John made the suggestion. Of bourse, he is under a lover's glamour at present, and can> not be reasoned with. But I have heard enough about Steve Standlsh's daughter to know that she inherits all he? father's love of show and luxury; and as her mother died when she was horn, she's had no bringing up outside of fancy boarding schools. You can hardly pick up a paper without reading some description of her gown at | this 'affair' or her playing at that And all the money John will have to give her will be what he earns through hard endeavor. Seems?" The mother's voice trailed off sadly. "John's life has Just been spent j overcoming obstacles, big ones all , along the way. He was Just a lad I when his father died, and he has been j j obliged to fight his way to his desire." j Tears filled the faded eyes. Lizzie | briskly put her kettle aside, the last I fragrant cruller was done. TTien she came, smiling and straightening the ruffles over ber arms, straight to the , old lady's side. "Now, dear," she said, "don't you fret. John Is going to find just the right woman, the one woman for him, because no one could be wholly selfish. I think, and love your John at the same time. There Is something so big and fine and noble about him that, well, it Just has to bring out nobleness in another. You see, I know ?for I love your John." i The mother caught her breath sharp . ly; unbelieving, she looked up Into the glowing face above her. I i Old Mrs. Reynolds stared, then ex- . (! citedly she grased the girl's bands. "I.izzie," she cried. "I really wish that my boy did love you." "You really mean, O John's mother," ' i.izzie asked, "that you would welf| come me as John's wife if it should f happen that he loved me?" The elder woman's voice was earn1 est. "I would, Lizzie," she said. '; Then Lizzie, with a tremulous lit "I tie laugh, slipped to her knees and buried her face on the mother's shoul1 j der. i1 "Then welcome me," she said, "lor your John and I, we lore each other: 1 am Betty Staodlsh, dear; Klizaheth Ktandish, if you please. Anil i I have deceived you In order to win Just that welcome. There was uo other way after you positively refused to 5 meet me." The girl rulsed her face to smile f Into the other with Its dawning light of happiness. 'j "Yoj er e," remarked Lizzie?Betty? -1 -teniurely, "I can overcome some ?bf' srucle-i myself." ii , 1 U MO newspaper can succeed with-! 1 out advertising, therefore we . j solicit the patronage of our readers >, for those who by tr^ir advertising \ help to make this paper possible. i Hardware If jou buy it from ns, it's worth the price.

TRAGEDY IN STRIKE'S WAKE Brooklyn Man's Sortio on Roller Skates C?rre to End in Sudden and Oire Disaster. This is another of those stories In which the hero has to go by a "nora de modesty." So he will be known as John K. Bings?J. K. for short. He is one of the several people, aside from Mayor Hylnn, who live ip Brooklyn, and one of those, including Hizzoner, who do not ride on the B. R. T. J. K.'s boss was one of those unreasonable people who did not consider the strike a good and sufficient reason for being absent or even unusually late for work. So It was up to him to get to the office in some manner. The first and second days of the tleup he managed to get Jammed on a truck. It would have been uil right if he hadn't seen on the third day that three girls had roller skated ucross the bridge. J. K. remembered his youth distinctly and he was pretty sure that roller skating was easy. Certainly he should be able to manipulate the simple straight-forward steps after the complex patterns of his youth. And so it was that he borrowed his small daughter's skates, pulled them out to the limit of extension und set forth across tlie bridge of many signs. J. K. found that he managed pretty well until he got to the bridge. When the pavement wus level it wus quite easy and despite his modesty he found that the surprised and appreciative glances of the less fortunate Brooklynites were very pleasant. It gave him a line feeling of returned youth to be roller skating along with the best of the youngsters. But he hud reckoned without the slope at the New York end of the bridge. Here the structure begins to descend slightly to meet the roadwuy. And J. K. lost coutrol of his pedal trnction arrangements. He grew pale as he saw u great mass of people aheud of him. Yelling did no good, for the traffic was too great. So he hit the mass of humanity with a thud, which jolted the chewing gum clear down the throats of two stenographers. J. K. found himself seated on the pavement. His straw hut was gone and there was a bad rip in his coat. Slowly he got up, apologized profusely and looked for his bat. He found it* where lie had been sitting. But it was quite useless.? New York Sun. ICE We arc not selling ice as, high as last season.
