In one back garden little JQy Ran
som played at doll house and just oy??" I
the fence Harold Alnley struggled flft
tracks and engines.
in the room above aud overlooking
' both gardens Joy'a father atruggletl to
finish his novelette that a check might I
find Its way to hla front door.
The back room In the opier house
held Harold'a lovely mother, who typed
other people's playa and wished with
all he" heart that she could have an
office so that she would earn more J
money for the maintenance of her
loved boy.
"Oh, mumsey, 1 can't make my J
switch work? the train won't turul"
walled Harold from below toJris moth- I
er, who was endeavoring to' end the
third act before ahe roust go down to
prepare her boy's supper.
"Daddy, daddy, I've torn Julia's
bestest party dreas and can't fix It." |
cried a small voice, thereby distracting
ker author father Into hopelessness.
The continued interruptions to bis
work, the tenderness and pity he felt
for hla tiny daughter and hlS most
complete disability to help her fa- I
tlgued him and ?r.ade him unfit for the I
work that must be accomplished If the
pretty house was to be kept.
He dragged himself from hla type- I
writer and went downstairs and out
Into the garden where hla flve-year-old I
offspring was weeping now. with her I
doll held close in her wee arms.
And next door Helen Alnley had J
abandoned hope of finishing her typing I
and had gone out to her siuull son In ft
vain effort to help, him with his rail- I
way system. I
The high garden fence hid the small
domestic tragedies^ from each .other, I
but If a blrdman had happened to fly J
overhead most any day In the week he I
would have se^h two large gardens
each with, a tiny bit of lonesome hu
manity struggling to make a day hap
py wjthout anyone to play with. There
was not even the smallest of opening* I
In the greitt fence, nor yet even n
broken board through which childish I
curiosity might peer.
Had the fen<k been less perfect a
most harmonious pair of- lonesome
children might have found each other
and made the long days slyrt. Also itj
would have given two distracted pa- rl
rents more opportunity to pursue their j
fortunes free fronj an ever-recurring I
demand on their time. I
t ? But one-day^ because It must always-l
be the male who hunt? young Harold
decided that he would like to know
I what lay on the opposite side of his J
1 confining wall. A$ seven years old a I
six-foot fence seems a regular Jack
In-the-Beanstalk climb. The vines I
were strong, or seemed so to Harold's
venturesome mood.
Mumsey^ was not looking when he I
began 'the ascent ; otherwise ? well,1!
1 happenings would undoubtedly have
been different.
I Harold gained the top with only ml- J
nor struggles. His delight at seBlng
Joy in all her young beauty as/ a re- 1
ward for his climb almost succeeded
} In sending him headlong Into her gar
den. As It was, he perched himself
I like a squirrel on a branch and opened |
I shameless conversation with the young j
I lady with her dolls.
1 Joy made suitable replies and made I
no effort to conceal the delight his ar
j rival on the fence gave her. She held J
I her doll up for his Inspection, only to I
be told that his railway track was |
I much more fan. Joy only towed her I
I sunny curls.
Perhaps It was her disdain ?that un
balanced him, for -a second later he
thumped down Into Joy's garden and j
lay In a heap among the pink geraal- I
I ums that bordered the wall.
I Joy's shriek of dismay -Was so terrt- J
I fylng that her daddy flew down the
stairs at top speed, scattering the
I pages of his novelette and leaving his 1
heroine lb a scandalous, wholly un
1 compromising position.
And Harold's mother flung a frantic j
glance at the two gardens, suspected
the worst and barely escaped falling I
runt of ~her window lj> an effort to see j
I where her boy lay.
But the author had been so swift to I
the rescue that before she could with
draw from her*window and dash down
I the stairs he had Harold In his-arm*.
There jeere no bones broken and^a
most manly smile crept through the I
fright that lingered in the small ad
venturer's eye*.
I Mrs. Alnley nearly collapsed over I
I the window ledge in her relief.
J "Bound JIS* bell." Ransom called up
I when he caught sight of her. In a
flash he wondered why he had never
I before known that bis next-door neigh* j
bor was a charming mixture of poetic
lovellnsks and earthly reality. Her
hair WAs sunklased and reddish, her 1
I color delicate aa hawthorne Jblooms
and her nose had a smear of typewrit- I
er Ink on It. He hoped that ahe, too.
was not a poor struggling writer.
"Bow shall I get him back?" ahe
Rpprctmng.
"Now that he has found his way
L over, may he net play with mydaogh
f ter? I thlnk~tbey both need eompan I
lonshlp." Ransom meantime Vhad got
rid of young Harold and was^asJng
straightway into Harold's mother's
I eyes."
"Poor little l?oesome*T was what I
she a?/ft*y answered, M f they don't die- 1
turh jou I ?un tqff n tat Mm ??*.

Iwlth her dolls. Ouly yesterday *he
tore whai '?<? ctflls her very beattat

Uri lira, Alnley'a blue eyes were post
tlveljr glistening with tears of syin
pothy for inotfeerleag little Joy.
"Still," ate suggested, "If they can
Just piny together perhaps they will
manage to be more contented."
"I will hart to make a small open
ing In the fenca for them," Ransom
said; "we dWf want thyiu scrumbllug
over the fenca. '
??Oh! If you only would It would ba
a apleiulld way out of the difficulty.
l>o you think you cijn ?aw through
those thick boards?"
"I'm aura I can," lianaom aald, and
deddeil hla next herofue should have
reddish hair and that peculiarly mag
netic smile which wua being wafted to
him from tha window. Ha decided also
that he niuat aee tha amlla often If he
were to deacrlbe It worthily In bis
novel. "But If tha boards are too aw
fully heavy I may hava to reraova a
couple of them, which would make a
gate Quite big enough for growuup
people to paaa through; that la. If 1
hava your conaentl"
It was then that Mrs. Alnley chose
to blush.
"I suppose It would be much simpler
than sawing them,", she said.
Ransom thought swiftly. If he could
just finish off his story late that night
he could work on the tfate during the
afternoon. The etory must be complet
ed. He sent another glance up at his
neighbor and realised that the gat^
too. must be finished? It was essential
to his happiness. So long as the fence
remained In Us present perfect dlvld
> Ing state he -would fret, and If he fret
ted he could not write stories. Some
thing gentle and lowfble about his
neighbor's personality told him that
he was going to have to write many
stories. He seemed to sense th&t a
greater Income was going to be most
necessary soon.
"It really should be done right
away," he told her; "the children
won't be happy now that they have
found each other until they can play
together, and I will try to help the boy
? w,j[th his tracks."
"And J will mend the bestest dress,"
s^ld his heroin^
-Ittansom's nock ,was getting a bit
crooked from continued looking up to
his neighbor's window, but somehow
he knew the outcome was going to be
1 worth getting a stiff neck oyer. He
felt that he' must come Ifi for more
bodily discomfort after his carpenter
ing efforts. Authors are not built for
manual labor; : ' 7; -
"Tonight's Sun will set on two gar
dens made Into one," he Informed her,
"and our children will be happy as the
'day Is lon&" ,
"Some falls are all for the beat," she
said laughingly, While her eyes rested
with added tenderness on h4r son.
"The very, very best," Ransom sup
plemented, while h!6 eyes rested on the
mother of her son. And If there was
tenderness In them It could not be
seen from so great a distance as the
"window next door. >
'However, the gatevwoyld be finished
soon. '

Why Diamonds Burst, J/
That diamonds burst Is an old idea,
which has been variously explained. It
has been thought that the stones have
been fractured by violent eruptions in
the Inclosing rocks, by sudden removal
of pressure around them, or in the
smoky specimens by spontaneous
breaking up. Dr. J. R. Sutton con
cludes that the breaking usually re*
suits from the minerals Inclosed. These
may be iffttnet. slrcon, ilmenlte or Iron
pyrites, and such crystals, under
ordinary heating at least, have so
*nu?h greater expansion than the dia
mond that they would exert great
pressure.

Duty.
There are persons who love t? do
everything good but that whloh their
Immediate fltity requires. There are
servants that will serve everyone more
cheerfully than their masters; there
are men jwho will distribute money lib
erally to. all except their creditors, and
there nr? wives who will love all man
kind better than their husbands. Duty
is a familiar word which has little ef
fect upon an ordinary mind; and, as
ordinary minds make a vast majority,
we have acts of generosity, wlKftplal
and honesty, where smaller pains
would constitute greater virtues.? Mrs.
