Then there was tho Inaurance money. No
ono would ever know but that he had
died from heart disease. He smiled grim
I)' nnd Razed dully nt the board aa ho
thought how well ho had planned every
thing In ndvancc.
Ho kept thinking about Velaijqucz. For
two daya ho had tried In vain to see him.
Tho mysterious houso In West Philadel
phia had seemed deserted that morning.
No uso to turn Velasquez over to tho
police. It was ho, Dlrdscye, who had
stolon. Then thero wero thoso blueprlns.
It would nover do to speak of that. Ho
lind betrayed a sacred trust. He put hla
hand Into an Insldo pockot nnd drew forth
a sealod letter. It was addressed! "Craig
Andrews, executor John Montgomery
estate." Ho thought of tho old gentleman,
his dead employe!. Ho shlvcfcd.
Ho put his hand Into his waistcoat
pookot nnd fished up a plcco of crystal
wrapped In paper. As he opened It
furtively it looked llko n glass lozenge.
It wna a pellet of cyanldo of potash. He
felt damp alt over. Years before, when
working at a gold smoltor laboratory In
tho Southwest, ho recalled he llrst en
countered the poison. Hla jovcrlo was In
terrupted. The cnshlcr passing nodded
friendly llko, nnd said to him: "Good
day, Mr. Blrdsoyo." Tho fat man hesitat
ed no longor. Ho slid tho whitish crystal
Into Ills mouth; ono gulp, and It was
down. Ho was sure tho board boy saw
1 him.
And staiinr at the figure on tho board,
middenly they bogan to dance before his
eyes. A sharp pain sclz'd htm In tho
region of the heart. Tho letter to An
drews felt from hla Angers to tho floor.
Ho felt himself fado away Into a groat
watting world. He was off Into unknown
npaco. His lips moved, and tho man In
tho next chnlr heard him whisper:
"Never rob widow."
Thoy thought him asleep. It was 3
o'clock and tho stock markot had closed.
After taking off his short apron, with
outside pockets for chalk, tho board boy
camo closer and called him. No answer.
Then Harrison camo out of his prlvato
office, and noting tho deathly pallor on
Blrdseyo's fnco sent for a physician.
Onco Blrdseyo had given tho board boy
a bill. Tho boy said nothing about tho
whlto crystal ho had seen glisten In tho
fat man's hand. Ho was not sure. It
might havo been a coughdrop or a piece
of alum, '
Harrison the broker picked up Blrds
eyo's letter to Craig Andrews. His sur
mlso was correct. So ho slipped tho sealed
letter Into a largo envelope along with a
cablegram from Bio Janeiro, which he
ponclled "confidential." He sent them
over to tho lawyer's ofllca before tho ar

FARMER SMITH'S
A Modern
Dear Children Tho flower days arc
them, and so I am going to tell you a story, so sit very still.
Onco upon n time thero was a very beautiful lady, and sho used to go
to the East Sldo in the great city of New York carrying flowers for tho
children.
Wasn't that a beautiful thing for tho beautiful lady to do ?
Well, ono daj as sho was walking along the streets where the houses
aro not very beautiful and where there nro lots and lots of children living all
huddled up in ono houso sho met some boys. They saw the flowers nnd tried
to take them away from tho beautiful lady.
Wasn't that a rude thing to do?
Tho beautiful lady wasn't a bit frightened, but said: "Boys, I am so glad
you have como to help mo carry these flowors to tho children, for sometimes
tho little people try to take them away from mo and I want you to pro
tect me."
The boys were so ashamed that they ono and all agreed to go with tho
beautiful lady, and when sho arrived at the settlement houso sho invited them
in, and they went, and not only then, but many times after that.
Many, many of tho children in largo cities never seo tho grass nnd many
of them tako littlo pieces of flowers which have been given them and savo
the littlo bits for many days. Such, dear children, is tho message of tha
flowers, and as tho warm days como wo are going to ask you to gather
flowers for our hospitals and send them from The Rainbows and nnd per
haps it will make tho beautiful lady happy when she hears what we have done,
for your editor always thinks of her when the flower time comes.
You must all try to find tho message of tho flowers.

Willie Widc-a-Wake's Thoughts
Wlllle-wlde-awake Just couldn't help
yawnlnc and nfter ho had yawned one
million times (It seemed to him) ho said
to himself: "I wonder what makes mo
yawn?"
By and by he tumbled Into bed and
lay vory still a lone time, yawnlnu onco
every minute, until until ho went fast
asleep. After ho had been In Dreamland
over so long, ho heard a scratching on
the window, nnd looking up saw the Good
Dream Fairy tapplntr the window softly
with her diamond-pointed wand
Wlllle-wlde-awake hopped out of bed
and let tho Oood Dream Fairy In, and ns
he did so sho said: "I know what makes
you yawn."
Willie was so surprised he almost
tumbled off tho edge of tha bed. "How
did you know I wanted to And out why
I yawn?"
"You did not say It out loud, either, did
you?" asked tho Good Dream Fairy.
"No," answered Willie, thoughtfully.
"Well," replied tha Good Dream Fairy,
"I saw your thought"
"What did It look llko?" naked Willie,
so surprised that his big brown eyes al
most popped out of his head
"It waa a henutlftil littlo tt.n.,u .ti.
question marks all around It and a won
derful turquoise right in the centre. The
question marks showed mo that you
wanted really to learn and come day I
will tell you why you (and others) yawn,
but It would tnko me a long, long time,
besides, children do not like to bo told
about themselves and "
"But I DO like to know about myself
and other children do, too," said Willie-Wide-awake.
"That is Just what I wanted to find
out," answered the Good Dream Fairy.
"One thing I will tell you. however, you
always yawn nine tiny minutes before
you go to sleep."
"Then I must have gone to sleep a
mllllon'tlmes already tonight," said Willie,
"for I yawned almost that many times."
Just then Father Sun shone in Willie's
eyes and woke him up. Now, wasn't that
funny.

Bcend to the cellar, turn on the water and
revisit the spigot. It no longer leaks.
A second type of faucet (2) operates
quite differently. The handle Is attached
to a brass cone-shnped stem with a hole
through it. When the spigot Is turned off,
the ends of the hole nre closed securely
against tha sides of the faucet nt right
angles to the flow of water, Gradually ns
the spigot Is turned on the opening widens
nnd finally reaches a position where tho
entire holo Is In direct lino with tho water
pipe; tho water then flows with great
headway through tho spout.
To repair such a spigot, Journey first to
the cellar and turn off tho water supply.
Then with a screwdriver remove screw
(a) (or If It Is a nut, use your monkey
wrench) nnd the washer (b). Save the
washer. Lift out tho stem (c) nnd grease
tho cone-shaped part lightly with vaseline
to prevent It from turning "hard." llc
place It In the spigot nnd screw on nut or
screw (a). Tighten Bcrew (a) until tho fau
cet handle turns firmly but not too hard.
If when the water Is turned on the spigot
still teaks, tighten tho screw (a) until It
stops.
