Dnvy, 's ou have kept It many years for t o and I will reward 70a with )ewela wortbr a king's ransom. " Anne'a eyes, the large, thoushtful eyes of the dreamer, sparkled as ah finished the story, end the group around the driftwood Ore atared breathlessly as she handed the carved box to Its finder and whispered mys teriously: . "Take good care of It, Davy, for the reward will be great" Anne had a wonderful gift, the pow er to wears enchanting tales of the countries from which this flotsam had found Its way, and this day. soft with a promise of rain; the magic seemed especially in her blood and her words and manner gave the story a strong feeling of reality. "I wonder when the princess will come for the box." Davy often asked himself as day after day he carefully dusted It and examined its curious beauty. As the years went by and he grew out of the Imagination and dreams of childhood, away from the weakneas of a delicate boyhood to a man strong and kind, he kept the box in memory of those days by the river when the world beyond the valley was a won derful place indeed. Anne, whose gift had drawn with irresistible magnetism her group of playmates nbout her, had traveled since in many lands, and now her audience took In half the world, but at heart she was still the aame charm ing girl. She had been his boyish Idea, she was doubly so now, and the box had become very precious, not because of the princess now, but be cause it was so encompassed with the charm of Anne. "If I could only take the Dunway contract. Nod," he confided to his bosom friend, careless, good-natured Ned, rich and Idle, the opposite of Dave, whom he worshipped. It had been an evening of xconfl dences, and for the first time Dave had told the story of Anne, prompted by Ned's interest In the carved box. "Why cant you, DaveT it will make you!" exclaimed Ned; aroused to unwonted enthusiasm, for Dsve had unconsciously worked much sweetness Into the story. "If It's the money, Dave, 111 back you to my last cent. That's all right," as his friend protested; you might as well be using It. Why!" he ejaculated, "It will be more than doubled If you car ry out your part." A glad light entered Dare's eyes. "Ned, I can't thank you now" he choked a little. "Some day TU tell you what It means to me, and I prom ise you that -you will never be sorry, for I'll work!" Work he did. Men stood back In amazement at the young engineer and the stupendous contract Cautious men shook their beads. "He has bitten off more than ha can swallow," was their comment They did not know the wonderful hope that was urging him on. and then, too, with. Ned behind him fail ure was Impossible. Anne read of his progress In the dally papers. Then suddenly came the end. One raw March day Ned took a sudden chill and In a few hours pneumonia had claimed a victim. It all happened so quickly Dave scarcely realised until he sat the evening after trie funeral In their lonely rooms. Outslds ths winds were shrieking a requiem and somehow he could not forget the fall ing gravel on the wooden bos. Not only was his friend gone, but looming up was the horror of the un finished contract Diffidence had kept him from asking Ned to place his promise In writing. In a day or two he must go down to financial ruin, never again to raise his head In the business world. As for Anne his eyes Instinctively sought the carved box, and black de spalri crept over him. He lay In a stupor until he seemed to hear her voice, "And the princess will reward you with Jewels worthy a king's ran aom." He roused himself and struggled bravely to his feet "I must get a grip on myself." He Bmiled the ghost of a smile over a face which seemed to have aped years In a few days. lis took the box from the shelf with fiDfcers which trembled in spite of his efforts to control himself. "Anne! A ntii'!" he said. In a broken whisper, "if you could only have known how much I cared." The box slipped from bis fingers and rlatered to the marble hearth stone. His face was white, his Hps were tightly closed, but he had mas tered hiu.stlf. After a few minutes he stuor.i-d wearily and picked it up the remainder of the old days and what uiight h:ive been. It was badly damaged from Its fall and he saw something In a crack In the bottom. Examining it closely be saw that the box had a false bottom. In wondering amazement he opened it and took a gleaming handful of pre cious Btones from their hiding place where they had lain for years undis turbed. Unskilled as be was be could see they were genuine, but it took him some time to realise that Isuwma all ending as gloriously as any fairy tale of Anne's creation, for over the years a loved voics floated, "Jewels worthy king's ransom.

Trom the vtiy first she r.tnic me as un usual. 8he masqueiaded as Fame, with legion tongues pretending con cealment In the gauzy folds of her dress. "Here's one girl who owns up to being a gossip,"thought I, and from the very oddity of the thing secured ah Introduction. I played the role of Chanticleer, and, not to crow about It at all, felt that I ought to make a hit With my most gallant stiff-armed effect I swung Fame through the dance, but somehow or other, I could not for the life of me get beyond voic ing the usual platitudes. It nettled me. Ordinarily, aided by my glib tongue, I fostered acquaintance very Successfully. The gap In the conversation was be coming a chasm when the girl came to the rescue. Pointing to ber lingual trophies, she laughingly inquired, "Have I annexed yours, too?" Somewhat piqued, I answered. "When Fame comes to ons so sud denly, the shock Is likely to render one dumb." "Choose," she said generously, sweeping her free hand across her wares. "Would you speak with the tongue of men or of angels?" "Cut If I have not charityT" 1 ban died. "Ton will be a rich man some day." We both laughed. "Here," and detaching a tongue, she held It out to me. I rolled my eyes in mock horror. "Dare I take the risk? You know friend Esop says It la the best or worat thing in the world." "I guarantee this to be a very civil tongue," she argued. "Will you keep ItT" After a delicate bit of navigation, I suddenly remembered that Fame should also be equipped with myriad eyes and ears. Upon mentioning the fact to the lady, she said, "Look right at me." That was easy. She had pretty eyes. "And listen." I hung breathless. "You are listening carefully?" I assured her, with eyes riveted. "Then why," Bhe Bolemnly ques tioned, "should I carry exce3 br.g- gage, when obviously, you are all eyes and ears?" I bowed acknowledgment of my de feat And sbe latighed again. In fact we both did. Sbe had a mighty Infectious laugh. - A little wave of color swept across her face, but Bhe answered airily, "Ah, but you know she Is an elusive creature; what if she were to develop Protean tendencies and becomo Cause for Interviews, Headlines and Alimony?" "In that case." said I, "she would have to change her name, and be call. ed Infamy. Would you very much mlnrf rhamHn. vm.r nam.' Smilingly, she replied, "Under the conditions, I think It would be in famous, don't youT' I didn't, but dldnt dare say so. What soft, wavy hair sbe had! During the Intermission, she very naively Insisted upon a grape sherbet as being most color-proper for the near advent of the season of penance. "I love sherbet," she confided. "It must love you," I exchanged. "Why?" "JJkes attract I murmured. Just by way of a change on the "sweets to the sweet" proposition. "Oh, am I as frigid as that?" But I knew that she had misunder stood purposely, for her voice wasn't at all cold. We went Into the conservatory. The soft gloom waa very restful after the radiance of the ball-room. We gave a mutual sigh of gratitude as we sank Into a comfortable nook. Fame's satisfied yawn was a tribute to the place. "No wonder people like It here," she said. "It's the pretty green, don't you think?" "Usually, the pretty experienced," I returned. She laughed, then stopped sudden ly and looked at me. But I bore a meruly-plea8ed-wlth-havlng emitted a-Burcessful-joke expression, so she re lented. The softened gayety of the music floated in to us, and now and then we caught glimpses of Monk and Colum bine. Dragoon and Shepherdess; all caught alike In Its merry whirl. "Isn't It entrancing?" breathed Fame. "M'm." I agreed, studying the curve of her cheek. "Do you prefer lyric or martial music?" I inquired, with the knit-brow nlr of a student "Well." she said Ingenuously, "I think I prefer the music which calls to arms." Maybe I was a fool, but I couldn't resist the Impulse to crush both her hands in mine. My Angers recoiled from the hard ness of a one-stoned ring upon her left hand. Tbe atone was turned un der, too; the minx. "My dear Fame," I said, "1 fear you are the woman with the serpent's tongue." "My dear friend," she laughed, "why do you deplore It? Hath not the serpent been gifted trlth wisdom?" Which I might have remembered. I might also have remembered that Fame la fleeting. As It waa. I felt a sudden Inclination to swear. But she had endowed me with a civil tongue you know, and I had promised to keep It MARIE B. WHITU. Frank Confession.
