THE STREETS OF LIFE
By HAZCIDEI'O DATOHBLOIl

I
li Unhappy Day
i Carter hat at last broken
ouau from her father's stern disci
line to tho cilcut of accenting a post
Hon with OcroM(ii Carpenter as sort
ct secrctari' Every afternoon she has
tldlen nwau for a few happu hours
and she has become more of a fiientl
to Mrs. Carpenter than a etcrelary.
It has been a pleasure to take Anne
n hand) and Qeraldlne has taught the
Mrl social accomplishments, and has
introduced her to the man)) interesting
people, among them Vane Ore, the
Urlter, who has taken a great Interest
in Anne. Finally Qeraldlne persuades
Anne to tell her father the truth and
in assert her independence for all time.
The result is what Anno expected, for
the nlpht after her first dinner party
at the Carpenter's, at Which DaneOrcy
has told her he loves her, she has a
scene with her father and is locked up
In her room.
fA.VN'K heard tho key turned In the
lock, nnd then tho door won flung
rpfti and her father Mood rm the
threshold, Ito glared at the girl nnd
fhn looked hnck at him ovcnly. Ho
would have been better pleased If hn
had found her In tears, hut there wasn't
the vleldlnir lit her nature that he had
encountered In her mother,
"Well." he nald, nfter a minute, "If
vou want anything to eat come down
plalrs nnd get It yourself. I'm not going
to fetch and carry for you,"
Anne rose and went downstairs, fol
lowed by her father, who pat In the
kitchen while she prepared a meal.
They ate In silence, a strange meal,
Anne wondering If her days were to he
like this from now on : If she were to
be kept locked In her room excepting
st meal times, when sho would be
forced down to the kltcherr to prepare
meals for herself and her father.
They finished, nnd Anne did tho dishes
while her father smoked on the back
porch, casting a wary eve on the girl
eery few minutes. When she was
finished nnd had hung tho towel's on
the line ho sneered at her broadly..
"I suppose this Is your regular time
for "dipping off. Isn't It? Homo Isn't
good enough for you, Is It? You haven't
en got pride enough to wear our
own clothes, and you let these sti angers
dfck j on out In finery "nd then laugh
st ou behind your back"
Anne flushed scarlet and then, whip
pd by his Jeering Into replying to hltn,
she flamed out, "I had money "
"O, you were paid were you?"' he
Jeered "I suppose they gavn you
enough to buy the dress you had on
last night."
For the first time Anne realized that
thiw fact might be true. She hnd no
Idea of money, and when Gernldlne had
told her tho prlco of the dross, tho
beautiful silver dress, she had thought
It rather n ridiculous sum. Could It
he that Gernldlno had paid the balance? i Hint?
jier cneexs nunnen, nnn men sne raisen
her head proudly. At any late she (Tornnrrnir
would rather accept a thing like that
from Qeraldlne who loved her, than
from this man who had disapproved of
her from hlrth.
"I know what you're thinking." her
father went' on, "You think your fancy
friends will rome to voiir holn. Well
they won't, don't worry. They don't
want to get mixed up In anything like
this. It was a novelty for the wealthy
Mrs. Carponter to take a little nobody
like you and dress you up like a puppet
for Her own amusement and whllo It
lasted I've no doubt that sho had many
a good laugh. Ilutj it's all over nnd dpno
with now."
Anne lowered her bend quickly to
hldo tho tears that snrnnor to her eyes.
If this were true, and sho had to begirt
nil over again nfter tho bcautlrjil inter
lude with Qeraldlne, If her days were
to once moro become gray with the
hours dragging by on leaden feet, then
she Would Just ns noon din.
"That got you, did It7" her father
was saying. "I thought It would.
Well. If you know what's good for you,
you'll do ns I say from now on, In
everything, do you henr mo?'' menac
ingly. "It's 11 good thing for you that
t didn't give you the thrashing you
deserve."
"Why didn't you 7" Anno flamed
suddenly, "1 expected It. I wish you
bad killed me."
"No theatricals now. vou won't got,
anywhere that wny : Well," looking a'
his watch, "I must get along now. so
upstairs with you. Locked In your
room you'll have a better nfternoon than
you've had In a long time, a more
nrofltablo afterneon. npd 1 think It won't
hurt you to wear your own clothes for
once."
He marched Anne upstairs nnd stood
flt the door ns sho enterod the room. A
moment later bIio was alone agnln tho
key turned In tho lock nnd sho wns
listening to her father go downstairs,
A moment later sho heard him open the
outer door and walk down tho street
) Anne's room was a queer shape. It
had n window on tho street nnd a win
dow at the side of the house. She
walked oer to this window now nnd
looked jlown. Within a few fed of her
whs tlio wnll of tho next house, but
there wns nothing outside of her window
by which she could climb to the ground
even though she knew that It wbr un
likely that the .lordnns would see her,
JIrs, .lordun wns bed-ridden nnd stayed
In her room most of the day.
Anne thought desperately. If only
this room were oor the porch as her
father's wns. It would be an easy mat
tor to escape, but here sho wns appar
ently helpless, entirely at hen, father's
mercy. And It would go on like this
Indefinitely unless something unexpected
hnppened. Her fnther'H wotds concern.
Ing Gernldlno returned to make Anne
still more unhnppy. Wns It true, and

fl'eppy and Hilly. While walking
jiarefootrd In the moods, cotne upon
strange tracks.)
BILLY and , Peggy felt like Indian
tracks through tho woods. M tlme tho
trail led over hard ground where they
could scarcely see the footprints, but In
soft places the tracks showed plainly.
"The animals that made these tracks
did n wholo lot of funny running
ajound," said nilly.
"Maybe they were scaichlng for food,"
suggested Peggy,
"I hopo they are not animals thnt eat
children," whispered Hilly, nnd he
grasped his club tightly so ho could put
up a quick flght If ho had to.
They cntho to a sunny opening In the
forest when suddenly, vrh7.z-r.zl btiM-z-z-z!
something flashed past their ears.
I'eggy and Ullly ducked their heads, nnd
Hilly thrnshed about with hla club.
VhlzfcS!2 ! bllxx.t.x9t nnMiotlilntr imi
flashed past them, nnd they caught sight I
of a glitter of color
, . "WJjy- It's onlv a pair of humming i
birds." chuckled Peggy.
.iimineiy Hint's a Joke on us,"
laughed Hilly "I thought nt first they
might .bo the animals that made the
tracks."
Tho humming birds were humming n
pretty little loo song to each other, ns
they flitted among the blossoms of a
honeysuckle vine.
"Honey, dear, honey dear, gather honey
sweet nnd clear,
Oather honey for our hnppy honey
moon I
Honey deaf, .honey dear, never fear, oh,
never fear,
1c'll be wedded by Judge Owl tomor
low noon."
'Isn't that lovely" wdtlspcrcd Peggy
to Hilly. -They ate sweetheart humming
birds, and they aro going to get married
tomorrow noon."
"Jlmlncty I'm glad I didn't hit them ,
with my club." answered Rlllv.
Suddenly Peggy grasped Hilly by the .
nrm and pointed to a tree beyond the
honeysuckle vine. Thero wns crouched I
n- slender furry creature that had Itsl
guttering eyes fixed upon the humming
birds.
"Look out! , It's a weasel '" cried Hilly
In warning. The humming birds saw the
weasel and darted a wny. But nlas, the
mnle bird In seeking to gunrd his sweet-1
heart, didn't look whoro he was going1
himself, and rushed Into a thick, tough i
spider web. i
Tho wcnsel licked his lips and crept
rorward. The humming bird would mnke
a dnlnty morsel with which to start hl i
breakfast.
But the wpnH.l fllrln't rt.Ar. fn,. mil..

leaped forward, and his club hit the
weasel on the end of the snoot.
Awav went tho weasel In a huiry, and
Peggy s quick fingers had freed the hum
ming bird from the spider's wen
"Thank you. Prince Billy! Thank vou,
Princess Peggy !" hummed the two hum
,mln birds. "What enn we do to reward

that question. Hilly hnd nn l,l..,,-i
haps they knew what creatures
made the strange tracks.
--
"You can" Tell us what anlmftfa mud
thoso tracks,". ha said, pointing to the
footprints In ths soft ground,
"He, he, hoi Don't you Unow7" asked
tho humming birds gayly.
"No, hut wo'd'llko to find out," an
swered Peggy.
"They aro tho tracks of two wonder
ful falryglants," hummsd tho humming
birds. r'Blg, bold, beautiful giants, that
have the hearts of good fairies. Through
their brnveryand their might they saved
Us from o, killing monster,"
"I'd like to see tho bold but beautiful
giants," cried Peggy and Billy,
"Follow tho tracks nnd you shall see,"
hummed the humming birds, and away
they 'darted Into the woods..

Down Stairs Store
is playing a doubly important role these days. Since its institu
tion, four years ago, the Down Stairs Store has been known as a
store where fashionable and dependable merchandise can be had
at lower prices. But lower prices have never meant lower quality.
Nothing is ever admitted simply for the sake of its cheapness; it
must measure up to high standards of quality as well.
Now the already low prices have been further lowered by a
uniform
20 Per Cent Deduction
made at the time of purchase. This deduction applies to everything4
from a toothbrush to the airiest Summer hat, to

(fr Summer cottage.
All of these seasonable goods are included in this horizontal
deduction of one-fifth from the marked price. There is no old
stock in the Down Stairs Store, nothing that is not fresh and sea
sonable and worth every penny of the sum on its price ticket.
Those who will look ahead and consider their Summer's needs
will realize a generous saving in money. Remember, one dollar in
every five comes back to you.
