"WORTHY A
KING'S RANSOM"
"Atd the princess will come tome
't-r and she will ear to you. 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

A Bout With Fame
ao
I met her at the Mardl Oras. 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

"In that case." said I, "she would

Smilingly, she replied, "Under the

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

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
