HACKLEY , \ ' * C> %t (Cupyrlght, 1*19. by tha McClur* Hows paper Syndicate.) Robert Blckley paused in his leis urely walk down Rradlaw street and seated himself ou one of the Imposing at me steps of the church ou the cor* ner. "I've got to rest n minute," he said half aloud, fanning himself slowly with his straw hut. "It dOMfi't take much exertion to use a follow up when he's only three days out of the hos pital ? but It's glorious to be out ? again 1 John says It's pretty quiet on my beat? me for duty In a couple or ? so days now 1" I A pretty youug girl came out of the church and paused a half moment un i certainly on the upper step. The young man, In his swift, involuutary glance, felt his heart leap. He rose hastily and stepped aside. > She start ed down the steps, but her eyes were , misty from crying ; she stumbled, miss ing a step. Blckley caught her full In his arm?>as she fell. ? j ( "Thank you? oh, thank you 1" stye ) faltered as she stood erect. **I was very awkward 1" She passed on down the street, but ! he had seen despair In the eyes she raised to him. He looked after her with a strange constriction of the heart. "That was my girll" he said to him- , self as he walked slowly back the oth er way, "and I don't even know her name or where she Is going! And oh,,! good Lord, she looked like she wanted to die I" A month before, the old Insurance man for whom Hester Morau worked had died ? the city was overcrowded with workers ? the girl had not found | another job. On this Sunday she had shrunk from going to the little church '? i she regularly attended, and so had j gone to a big strange one ; but in this I great church It seemed to the little ? stenographer every one was "rich In | lands and money there were but tyo j pennies left in her purse, and, after , Tuesday night, her rent would be up. No money, no work, and nowhere to go'l i With despairing bitterness In her soul, Hester hnd risen and slipped out | of the church. j "I'll try again tomorrow and Tues i day," she said to herself? 'perhaps ' Wednesday? then ? " i Monday and Tuesday were one con ' tlnuous \tramp. She had asked for j work at everything she could do, only to be turned down everywhere. In the j dusk of Wednesday she stood In the lobby of a great office building, re solved to make one last try. "Stenog rapher wanted," the slip of paper she held In her hand read, "Room COO." The stylish, elderly man Into whose office she was admitted gave one look at the newcomer, and turned to the six girls waiting to talk with him about the Job. i "No ase waiting," he flung at them, ! "I can see none of you will do !" With a gallant air he set a chair for ) Hester In his Inner office and drew his P?. ? _ own big chair cloa? up beside It. "You'll wilt no to ft TV duckle ho remarked. "I've been looking for something ?llck like you. and J can see with on? eye you're a live wire." Sickened, Heater edged her chair away. "How much doeo the place pay!" she asked. < ?Vivo dollars at first P "But I ? a girl can't live on that !** "Who expect a you to, sweotnesa? A looker like you doean't hate to live on |ft. Why, you might get aa much aa twenty a week If we hit it oft" together. That'a what my laat stenographer got." lie reached over and squeeted her hand. Heater rosv. her cheeks aflame with helpless wrath. "That's the laat Inault I'll ever re ceive," ahe aasured heraelf when she was In the street again, "the very last," The smell of the bakeshop's fresh rolls sickened her hungry stomach, empty since her breakfast of crackers. At the foot of the stairs that led to her room she paused tempted tp bor row a slice of bread from her land lady, but she allnched her hands and climbed the steps. "I won't b? hungry very long," she thought. v:-; It was close on midnight when she crept out to the park, where the strong tide beat against the sea wall. The night was warm and sultry, but the girl shivered as she crouched on a park bench. "I've got nobody," she defended hor* self to conscience ; "nobody to care." But as she spoke, there floated be fore her excited brain the face of the young man who had saved her from falling at the church steps. "He'd never hurt a woman," she thought ; "he looked good. I could have loved him ! 1 wish 1 had known him and he had wanted met" A clock not far from the park struck twelve. The young fellow In a police man's uniform, standing on the sea wall, heard a light step behind him. Then a small white figure slipped past him like a bird and flung Itself Into the water. He let himself swiftly Into the washing tide and struck out for the sinking white figure. ^ In a little time ho was back at the base of the wall, aSd John Tweedle, another offi cer, whota his, cries had brought, was helping him. "Let uae, Bob ; you're not fit to lift her again," Tweedle remoustrated, as, with a prayer in his heart, Bickley bent over the girl. Her eyes were closed, but he knew her for the girl who had passed him on the church steps on Sunday. He had found her again, and like this 1 Late In the afternoon Hester awoke to otoar consciousness in the hospital bed. She raised herself. "Why didn't they let me drown? It wouldn't have hurt anybody!" The nurse shook her head In re proach. "It did hurt some one. The young man who saved you Is Just up from a feyer ? ho went back on duty only last night ? he wasn't fit to Jump Into the river, but he risked his life because he wanted you to live I He's a good boy, too ? I've known him all his life 1" Hester's white face turned whiter. "Where is heT" she demanded. "Help me to dress."* A moment later Robert Bickley took OAKLAND 947 Miles in 28 hours ? 45 minutes Average 24.28 miles ? per gallo?) of gasoline, only 3 quarts of oil.

"iion't." he besought her, "I've just been a hit tired since?- shut? I helped to give you another try at the game of living, that's all !" "I ? I haven't got anybody to caret" she sobbed, unheeding. "If you die, I'll try It all over wheu there's nobody .by J" "No you don't 1" he said, and reached out for her hands. "I am all right-?* and you have got somebody! There ? there's me ! Say," he wcut on, a bash fid red coloring his cheek, "I've been loving you ever since I saw you Sun* day on the church steps. I've been wishing every minute since I could find you and make you love me. I've got enough saved up for a bit of a home for my, wife, aud we ? we could be the happiest things alive! Say you'll think about it, little girl !" When the nurse came hack, the girl hid her face on her friendly shoulder. "She says she thinks she'U like the game ,of living, from now on!" the young man cried, his eyes shining. NOT ALL IMPRESSED ALIKE Curious to Note the Different Behavior of Animals In the Vlolnlty of War's Alarms. Some Interesting notes have beeiw made In regard to the behavior of vari ous animals under the terrific Condi tions of noise, vibration, explosion and other disturbances at the front. Thus It seem# clear that some kinds of birds under the dominnnce of Instincts of feeding, nesting or brooding, behave as if they are Indifferent to nil kinds of turmoil. Living creatures of many kinds are not in the least Impressed by sounds which have no Interest for them. To terrific disturbances, which have neither Inherited nor ac quired "meaning," an accurately sen* 1 sltlve organism may remain quite In different, But another, point is raised, says Nature, by some observations which refer to the diverse ways in which sheep and cows react to dummy bombs released from an airplane. The cows seem entirely Indifferent to the "swish" of the falling bomb, but the sheep "Invariably scatter in panic." Have the cows a different? more pla cid ? temperament? But how excited they get at times by the buzzing of files that- cannot hurt them. The ex citement Is probably due to fallacious association \%;lth tlrtft buezlng of blood1 sticking filo? which can hurt them ; and the suggestion Is that sheep are panic-stricken because the swish of a falling bomb Is probably not unlike the sound of a bird of prey, say a golden eagle. How Flowers Were Named. The daisy (as Chaucer has It) "the eye of day" ? I. e? the sun; the sun flower is named from Its rays of sun shine, yellow. There Is also the moon daisy. The geranium Is the crane's bill, the Greek wotd for a crane be* Ing geraaos. Prom *h? -f orm . of the^ leaf we have dandelion (French*" dent de Hon, lion's tooth). Pimpernel, a corrupt form o ^ "blp ' Inet" (Latin bis and penna), la the double^wlnged flower? From their properties, mostly : medicinal*^ are named narcissus (narcotic), nastur tium (nose twister), honeysuckle and lavender (used to scent linen fresh from the laundry). Thirty Days in February. In traveling around the world a day has to be added or thrown overboard, according to the direction you are go ing. The adjustment Is Invariably made when crossing the 180th meridi an, almost midway between Japan and California, so a vessel on the spot on February 29, In a leap year, must ac cordingly have a February 30. In point of fact February 30 does appear In the ship menu. * But It Is hard lines on a baby born aboard ship that day, as he can never have another birthday unless he journeys across the line when February 29 becomes February ?0. .

A doomsday book of a new sort has been produced by the alien property custodian. It approximates 500 pages and sets out the names of the enemy concerns that have- been found In the United States. The custodian thinks his efforts have been without real cost to the country, since he brought to light for the treasury to collect more than $600,000 In fncome taxes which were being evaded. Besides the cus todian turned some of the German con cerns to war work ami had them pro duce $30,000,000 worth of supplies. The custodian's new book, says Na tion's Business, contains a. deal of comfort for Americans who have claims against Germany and who have been wondering If they will have to wait for payment until Germany makes up her mind about the variety of gov ernment she likes best. The Btate de partment has hinted that American claimants may get immediate reim bursement from the funds the custo dian has collected.
