(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."*

He opened I?Ih and sat up.
"iion't." he besought her, "I've just

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

"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*

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.

Our Book of Doom.
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.
