"Ton don't want to stay for the plc-

to bo "No."
I'-cas blurhed. 8h took a childish
del'sht in motion, but her cousin ssd

"Lo you nilndT'" Bess asked ttmld
"Thcy're Are department plo
ijrrs.'" With a shrug of her shoulders her
"n sin settled back In the seat aa the
r,!itg went out and the first picture
as thrown on the curtain.
Th pr,j erty man and his fellows
.-a the stnj -i supplied the clanging- of
bells an ' the screech of the whis
tle, and to Upas It was all very real.'
'l i en the street with Ita engines
vanished from the curtain, to be re
e'heed by a contrasting picture of
ihreo firemen sitting In quarters en-
In a game of cards. Their faces
vcre shown large enough to Illustrate
the play of exDresaion, and the audi
fine shrieked at the pantomimic
hmnor.
Dut Bess had leaned forward and
w!3 looking eagerly at the curtain.
Molly tugged at her skirt, but the
girl did not realize it. There upon
.he curtain was Ted Prescott. She
sure of It The picture changed
pein and she sank back in her aeat
quivering In every muscle.
Hapidly she explained to Molly bo
i'cd had gone away from borne, how
t.i: letters had stopped and bis motb-
i t ?culd find no trace of him.
"His mother's heart la breaking for
t:'tn." Bhe declared. "I must And him
i-nd tell him to write home."
She left her seat, greatly excited,
:d started up the aisle. Molly fol
lowed her country cousin curiously.
n usher directed her to the balcony.
here the machine was operated, and
:he waited until the operator had fin
ished. He could give her little Infor
mation other than to furnish her with
the jddi-eqs of the firm that bad tak-t-.n
the pictures.
Bhe could scarcely wait until the
'.nt morning to continue her search,
'.'-d she started immediately after
Vokfast, with a male cousin aa an
-;.cort
The manager was courteous and
eemed to take an Interest In her
v:st. The pictures had been made
'.' town, he explained, and he gave
' c- the number and address of the
c-1 c!nc company.
It was fnr up town, but she could
:-ot re"t, and In a abort time she stood
In front of the tiny desk beside the
filtering engine.
"Is Mr. Prescott, a fireman, here?"
ihe asked wtlh trembling Toice. The
rr an in blue shook bis head.
"Jlinmy Prescott Is with Seven
Truck," he explained.
"I am looking for Theodora Pres
cott," she explained. "He was photo
riaphed here for some moving pic
tures." "Pratt. French and Roe posed for
that picture," he declared. "You
-renn this?"
He took down from the wall s small
Framed photograph, evidently an en-larrre-ment
of the picture film.
"That's Ted,'" she cried. "I'm
sure of It"
"Call Roe down,,' demanded s voico
behind ber. The fireman sprang to
'bey orders and she soon found that
'ho captain waa the man with the
- p ! 1 instead of silver buttons, and
crossed trumpets on bis cap front
' Stand where you will be In the
:ig'. t," directed the newcomer, aa he
'.'erred Into the backgkround. Won-'o'-lugly
she obeyed hia directions, as
i ni.swcr to the call a man came
'M-i'g down the brass pole.
SeTore she could speak he had
-".red around and came toward her.
"Hello, Bess," he cried. "Where
did ou come from T"
"What la your name?" demanded
l.ie battalion chief.
Instinctively the man's band went
to eulute, and be .gave a puaxled
laugh.
"It'a Prescott," he said. "Yet I
Vlo'X I'm called Roe. What's the mat
ter?" "You remember the Douglas street
fire In the shop where you worked?"
suggested the chief. Ted nodded.
"But you forget that In Jumping to
the net you (ell short and struck your
head. When you came out of the
hospital you bad forgotten who you
were."
"I remember now," Ted exclaimed.
"The boys were interested In me and
kept me going until 1 could get in the
department You gar me Richard
Roe for a name, eh?"
"I saw you in the pictures at the
theatre," Bess explained. "I knew It
was you."
"Which la more than I did." he
taughed. "I've been someone else for
nearly a year now. Is mother "
Bess nodded, as he faltered. "She
la dive." she assured, "but very lone
Bon'fe, She thluks you are dead."
The capiuln stepped forward. "I'm
going up to see the chief," he said.
"Put in your application for leave and
I'll fee that headquarters granta It"
As be left the room Ted turned to
P.es. "And you," he asked. "Have
you "
"I've been waiting too," she as
sured. i
"We can have a pretty good honey
n:oi u ia 30 dsys," smiled Ted. "We'll
send the picture men sums of the
cake."
"We must," she agreed, as he kissed
her ritrht before the man on watch,
"for I found you In the pictures. "

"That's a confounded He," said a
Scotchman.
"Well," said the Londoner, "I'll bet
five bob I don't get a civil answer
from the first porter I ask a question
of."
"Done!" replied the old fanner.
Looking over he spied the porter,
and beckoing him over, asked in his
most polite tone:
"Would you kindly tell me the same

"Gang, awa", ye bacon faced buf

hair which framed tlio face so dear
to h!g. psttent Fhen Buker.
When Failh came to the city four
yovs before, a poor little stranger,
Ebna helred her to find a situation
It was hard to be rwr and old and
yet Inve ro young and fair a girl. Had
he pof.sessed great wealth she might
have foreotten the barrier which Time
had placed between them. As It w.ts
Eben Rie-:od deeply and began to
dig more viaorously nbout the small
plants which were hl3 share of the
garden plot belonging to the Home
ste-id boaiders.
"Still trying to make your heart's
ease grow?" It v.-as Faith's rrc:ri
greeting.
"Yes, you shall have a blossom hi
fore long." Eben cried as he aroue tr
welcome her.
"But I shan't be needing nrv.'
Faith made answer lightly, and F '!.
Baw that ber face was radlnnt
Bene new-found Joy.
"Such a wonderful thing has bay

It truly wonderful that it will nil b

For a moment Eben was si!:nt
Itunncd by the thought of Io:;!nj
Faith. When he spoke, his clieei.'u!
aes was forced.
"Of course I am gird," he .iid. the
added with tender solicitude: "Hut 5 o'

"You do rot seem at nil pint'!" It
was Faith's reproach which nreu ei
Eben to set aride his bitter reflection'

brirlit prospects before his little
friend.
There would be time enough to
mourn when she wr.s gone. Tire
enough' Were days ever to Ions a
those which followed Faith's depar
ture?
It seemed to Ebon as If he neve
could plod on alone In the Fame o!
path. To make hi3 desolation eve-.
more complete, the very day tV,'
Faith went away some rude st-ep-urchin,
so Eben supposed, scaled thi
:.U which separated the Ilnntest'ci
garden from the street, and stole th
precious hearfs-eas-e plants ove:
w hich he had worked so long. He h.ic
hoped some time to have a few flow
ers to ojer Faith, but now th :t Fa'tL
was not there, he had not the hear'
to buy fresh jlants, so even the plea?
ure of working in the garden after ti
day of confining toll was no longer l.h
He reali7fd every day that yoM!
waa flying farther from him. and n--there
was no sweet voice to bid I
stay. i
lie was In this disconsolate frf' j
of mind when a letter from Fait1 j
readied him one morning asking h!r j
to visit her in her new hou'e. F-je !
for a sifrht of her, he needed no rec. j
ond bidding, but started at once fn ,
the quiet country town where she noi. I
lived.
It was a long Journey, and the west !
ern sky was already aflame with th. i
sunset fires when Eben found hlrjre!
walking with Faith through the beau
tiful garden.
So soft were the breezes that blc
about him, so sweet the Power-scetHc'
air, so fi'.lr the 6'rl at his side, thv
he felt that he must be In a land o
enchant;nent.
When Faith had won s.?fTic!!i
praise for the stately gladinlrs. tN
old-fashioned ho!lyhock3 tnd the swec
peas that seemed to have hoiTovc
every tint of the rainbow, then sl-
led Eben to the old clia which gre,"

ahrde of the treo.
"Heart's-eue!" lltrn exel:. lined.
