I can't leave her alone, you know, even with Mary Sweet. As a matter of fact, Mary Sweet needs quite as much managing as does mother, and you will be equal to every occasion.” ; Ellen Nugent smiled faintly. Noth- ing so nearly like a blessing had ever come to her before, but of course, she was not going to tell that to Regina or anyone, She had come home tired and discouraged and so nearly ill that the doctor had recommended complete rest for her. Added to that she had lost her job—the job that she had re- lied upon for the past seven years, ever since her father’s death made it necessary for her to earn her own liv- ing. He had left nothing, poor father, but tender memory and a parcel of debts which Ellen hai somehow paid. Thus today she found herself without ‘a job, without savings, without the necessary strength for getting another job and very lonely and sad in the cheapest room of Mrs. Hoff's boarding house. And now of a sudden came op- portunity, change, diversion and all be- cause for some unaccountable reason Regina Gould, rich, fortunate and beau- tiful, should feel that she was the one dependable person to whom she could look for a favor. “I'll come, of course, Regina,” she said, trying to keep her voice steady. “But I shan’t be you. And your moth- er and Mary Sweet won't be per- suaded that I am. Still, I'll do my level best.” A week later Regina was on her way to California and Ellen, accompa- nied by a shabby suitcase, was occupy- ing Regina’s pink-and-cream bedroom in the splendid Goyld house. She sighed as she hung her two wearable gowns on the nickel rod be- side Regina's superfluity of frocks. And she sighed again when she went down to lunch and found herself alone, served by Mary Sweet efficient maid, who eyed her with scorn as she sat there in Regina's chair. Mrs. Gould seldom left her room. She was a tiny, wispy old woman, with chronic ill-health and an obsession for undis- turbed quiet, whose chief entertain- ment consisted of reading a certain curative form of literature and listen- ing to her canary chip seeds. After lunch Ellen attended to a few duties prescribed by Regina and then went to the library to read. Choosing an armful of tempting books she curled up on the davenport, tucked a pillow behind her and gave herself up to an afternoon of real enjoyment. It had begun to snow in the thick, clotty March way and this made her sense of security doubly delightful. She oad lost herself in her book when Mary Sweet ushered a visitor in upon her unannounced. She would not have done such a thing with Re- gina, but she did it with Ellen. “1 beg your pardon!” the man said, wonderingly. “You are not Reg—Miss Gould—" “Not in the least.” Ellen uncurled and arose. He was tall, she was short, and she had to look up at him. Up- lifted Ellen's eyes were singularly lovely with their blue depths and their black pencilings. For the rest she was just an ordinary little tired per- son, most unlike the golden and ra- diant Regina. “You wished to see Miss Gould? I'm very sorry. She just started for California this morn- ing.” “And I,” said the man with a smile that Ellen loved instantly, “have just come from California to see her. 1 arrived late last night. My name is Gordon—David Gordon.” “Oh!” Ellen caught her breath. So he was David Gordon, whom Regina had waited so long for. He had gone away a long time ago and Regina ex pected him to come back and finish his interrupted love-making. He had -been too proud it seemed to actually propose to an heiress. And now here he was and there Regina was! How unfortunate! Ellen wished she could comfort him. He must be so terribly I ALL came of Regina Gould's be- disappointed. And poor Regina! “Won't you sit down?” she asked him. He sat down. He was still sitting there when the room became so dim that Ellen had to pull on the light pehind her. Then he arose to go. She hated to have him go. She liked him so; he was so big, so honest, so inter- esting. What would Regina do in her place? What would Regina expect her to do? She asked him to stay to dinner. Mrs. Gould came down and kept them company. She was very glad to see David. but she did not say much. She fed the cat and let Ellen and the guest do the talking. The next day David sent flowers. It was a graceful return for hospitality. Then for some «days she saw nothing of him. She had hoped he would eome again. He had made a strong fmpression upgn her. She was not susceptible; she had never had a lov- er and she had thought she could care for no man. But David Gordon had got into her thoughts, into her heart, into her life itself, and the more she tried to rid of him the more *his mem: ory persisted. Then he came again. Ten days of good fond and rest and change had beautified Ellen amazingly. She had teld aside several years and David told went to dress. There were all Re- gina’s frocks and she could wear one if she chose, for even though Regina was large those soft things could be made to fit anybody. There was one, red with splashes of beading. She thought over it long, then she put it back. It was not right that she should be going to a concert in one of Regina’s gowns with Regina's lover. She wore her black crepe. The mu- sic entranced her. It rang in her ears all night. But she awakened to the resolve that there should be no more of David for her, It was not so easy, though, to get rid of him. He came and came; he brought her flowers and candy; he in- sisted on taking her to ride in the new car he had purchased; he told her all about himself, how he had bought a piece of worthless-looking land and later found that it had oil value; how he had more money than he had ever dreamed of possessing, no matter how hard he worked. And he wasn't afraid of work. He was very kind to her, but only for Regina's sake she knew. She was grateful, but unhappy, because she knew that she loved him. Regina came back, handsomer than ever, walking in several days ahead of schedule. “I got your letter,” she told Ellen. “So David is back! Well, I hope you've been nice to him.” “He has been nice to me,” Ellen said | faintly. “I’m glad you've come, dear.” She went back to Mrs. Hoff’'s. It | was all over. That evening she was called down to the parlor and there he was. He took her in his arms. British Crown Jewels Make Dazzling Display | Within the concentric works of the tower of London is Wakefield tower, | the repository of the regalia of crown jewels of England's royal house. Be- | hind heavy bars of iron grating, these priceless treasures in the shape of crowns, coronets, scepters, spurs, bracelets, spoons, salts and ta glow in a blaze of diamonds, strange- ly dazzling to human eyes. A king- dom's ransom is gathered there, and | the awed visitor knows that he has | never seen before and will never see again such untold wealth in precious stones, The guide book calls attention to the “Stars of Africa,” once known as the Cullinan diamond. The eye searches out the imperial state crown which, containing 2,818 diamonds, 297 pearls and many other jewels, was altered to permit of the insertion | of the large oblong brilliant of the “Stars of Africa,” weighing 309 carats and cut from the Cullinan stone, The alteration required the addition of two sapphires, 56 brilliants and 52 rose diamonds, That single stone is so large, so water clear, so brilliant, that it exceeds the beauty of the crown and the crown's jewels. That priceless oblong can be removed from its setting, at the wish of the queen, for she has the right to wear the stone when she so desires. Scarcely eased of the wonder of that magnificent stone, the eye falls upon an even greater cause of breath- less admiration, for the royal scepter lifts its slender regal length a little below but directly in front of the crown. Within its head, below the cross, blazes the largest cut diamond in the world, the largest of the “Stars of Africa,” weighing 516% carats. said to be beyond price. It is drop shape and flawless, as are all the stones cut from the Cullinan stone. Under the light it has the matchless beauty of drops of dew under a morning sun. Under the spell of those stones, in- formation about the Cullinan diamond is songht and easily found, so famous is the stone. It is known that in 1905 it was found in the yellow ground of the newly discovered Premier mine in the Transvaal, being three times the size of any known diamond. This clear and water white stone weighed 3.0253 carats, or 1 1-3 pounds, and the largest of its surfaces appeared to be a cleavage plane, indicating that it was only a portion of a much larg- er stone. The Transvaal government pur- chased this Cullinan diamond in 1907 for a gift to King Edward VII. In Amsterdam it was cut into nine large stones and a number of small bril- liants. All the stones are flawless and of the finest quality. The two in the royal jewels are the largest brilliants- in the world. Under the magic of those stones it is a bit difficult to realize that they are chemically identical with charcoal and can be reduced to that physically different substance under great heat or electricity. In spite of much scien- tific study, the origin of the diamond stil] remains a mystery.

J.—Mrs. Ernestine Ma ser, thirty-eight, of No. 364 Fairmount avenue, Newark, could not write When her husband, John, came home from work one night he found her dead, a gas tube in her mouth. Near her lay a pen-written will. The police were puzzled as to how a woman whe could not write could have left a sui- cide note witn her name signed to it. After questioning 35 persons living in the neighborhood, the police learned from Peter Anselmo, twelve, of No. 353 Fairmount avenue, that he had written Newark, N. | the note. “I thought she was just making a will,” the lad said.

Woman Wrecks Bank to Gain Male Attention Berlin.—Because no man courted her, thirty-eight-year-old Marianne Waldmann, daughter of a prominent patrician banker of Freiburg, in Si- lesia, bankrupted her father's bank and had him jailed, until she herself was arrested as a forger. Since the war Germany has 2,000.- 000 more women than men. Marianne determined not to live without mascu line attention. She showered all the men she met with presents, such as a house full of furniture, motor cycles. wine, and Persian rugs. She paid for these gifts with money from her fa- ther’s bank, which she was running for him. She presented her father regularly with favorable balance sheets until the Saturday the bank failed. Marianne denounced her seventy year-old father as a fraudulent bank er, though for his whole life he was the most respected citizen of Freiburg He was arrested and placed in jail until the police discovered that his daughter was the defaulter. Watch Lost 24 Years Recovered in Pawnshop St. Paul.—Lost 24 years ago, a $400 diamond studded gold watch was back in the possession of its owner here and William Conway pawnshop inspector, was hailed by his mates as the “man with the mem- ory of an elephant.” Miss Eloise L. Calihan, now a busi ness woman, lost the valuable little timepiece while on an excursion down the Mississippi river in 1904. She at once reported her loss to police, but after a fruitless search the watch was forgotten by all save Conway. The inspector while on his regular rounds of the pawnshops observed in the showcase of J. 8S. Samuelson a woman's watch with a diamond cres cent on the back. He consulted his record hook and confirmed his con viction that it was the watch lost 24 years before by Miss Calihan. Little Spaniel Saves Mistress From Kidnaper Oakland, Calif.—A placid little span iel trotting lazily along with his mis tress turned into an enraged dog here when kidnapers threatened Helen Ruth Moss, fifteen. The girl was walking along a high way near the edge of the city when an automobile stopped and a man asked her a direction. Pretending he was deaf, the motorist motioned the girl closed to the car and when she re sponded seized her and started drag ging her into the machine. The man however, failed to reckon with the spaniel. In an instant the dog was at the man’s throat and continued to bat tle until the grip which held Helen was loosened and the girl was able to run away from the car. of doing its real work in the world. As men penetrate farther and farther into nature’s secrets, as they give us a better understanding of the universe In which we live, as they make known to us more of the origin, the development, the laws of life, we are to think of them not as destroying faith, as is sometimes foolishly charged, but as men who make it possible for our faith to expand and grow. Dr. Robert A. Millikan, one of America’s most distinguished scien- tists said: “Scientists imbued with the spirit of service, which is the essence of religion, and religion, guided by intelligence, the intellectual honesty . . . and the effectiveness . . . of science, can, between them, without shadow of doubt, transform the world.” May this vision, prefigured when Christ was born, be not far dis- tant, and His Kingdom shall come! In the Three Wise Men who came from the East the church has geen the symbol that Christ fulfills the hopes of all men everywhere, and that in Him racial barriers are to be done away. It is further a symbol that men who are seekers of truth, who are striving to understa; id the world in which we live and the mystery of life, are naturally attracted to Him who declared: truth and the truth shall make you free.” In Him they find the answer to the profoundest questions that can be asked—what is life for? What is the purpose Which all of our powers, our knowledge, our resources, shall serve? For unless we ha to be only a baffling, a something to live o for. Without ail e found the purpose for which to live, life is bound futile thing. What each one of us needs is something to live surrender to cynicism and despair.
