BROQAN H Copyright, 1922. Weatern Newspaper Union The town of Byron hud always been proud of its talent. Two noted nu thors and one famous singer came out of Byron. It was proud of Its continued Byron ancestry; here greatgrnndsons tiow lived In the same old stone houses of their fathers. So in conversation one might hear: "Lucy Is very like her grandmother nt that age," or "Wllllnm will never be the man his grandfather was." Again, Byron gave promise of send ing to the world two gifted members. Everyone knew that Phyllis Benson would have a musical daughter. Phyl lis herself had been their exhibit at the piano. Now the girl, grown to young womanhood, was going away to study. "Not yet abroad," Phyllis' mother explained; "she will try first the best teachers In Boston." Close following Phyllis, In, time, was Mattle Mathers' daughter. Mnttle'a daughter Gwcndolln could sing beau tifully. No church social .or school en tertainment was complete without Gwcndolln on the program. "But," Mrs. Mathers explained, "we did not consider Gwen's . voice seri ously until the glee club director of Tier college Insisted that she have the best possible training. We are send ing her In to the city to learn first from him." Mrs. Benson and Mrs. Mathers basked In a fame almost won. Then came another gratification. Nancy Leslie's daughter Linnet evinced promise as a writer. Byron Ites recalled that Linnet had written more or less for various town publica tions. Hit stories In the school maga zine were commended, her poems re cited from the school stage. But that a story of Linnet's had now actually appeared In a mnguzlne gave certain proof of her calling. Already, In her mother's eyes. Linnet wore the laurels of the town's two famous authors. "Now, how," asked Linnet, "do you ever suppose I happened to hit that editor Just right?" "There was no happening about It," her mother Indignantly. replied. "You have talent like your Uncle Sidney. I shall send you to the city nt once, where you may touch elbows with writers, and learn of them. Your Uncle Sidney Is a newspaper man, nnd rimy he able to direct you." "Oh, mother,-1' said Linnet wistfully, "If you only knew how happy I nm,"- she smiled "In poverty nnd obscurity, you would never send me awny." But Linnet went to the city, and after a tlmo a paper came to Byron. It had a pretty little story, with Lin net Leslie's name beneath It. The newspaper was Uncle Sidney's. When the three girls came home for n vacation week; they were feted and exhibited socially. Linnet was pale and thinner; her mother Importantly explained that she had been working too hard nt her profession. Soon after, the Byron paper reported that Miss Phyllis Benson would be obliged to discontinue for some time her musical studies. She had suffered a break down under the strain of many reci tals. ' Gwendolln Mathers, unfortunately, had been called home because of her mother's foiil health, and would not therefore take her anticipated Journey abroad. So Byron was privileged to enjoy Its own celebrities In recitals given nt home. Tho new principal of Byron Hill school helped much In the Inspiration of these entertainments. Ho was yoking, single nnd good look ing. Moreover, he wns said to be at work, In the seclusion of Byron, upon some wise treatise for publication. Then, suddenly and peacefully, Nancy Leslie died. It was difficult for the neighbors to realize' tho sad fact. Why, only yesterday she had read to them an encouraging letter from Lin net. Linnet, she said, had sent her twenty-five dollars. "She must make a good deal with her stories," the mother had said, "to spare me so, much." The girl was quiet and very brave when she was summoned home they had expected that. "You will go back to the city of course," they said. "I am not going back," she told them gently, "because there Is no use. I had no talent whatever In writing. Uncle Sidney tried to help me all of them. It was not In me. I could not disappoint mother by telling her Just then. I have been working in an of fice." added Linnet. She smiled ap peallngly, begging their pardon for fulling. v "I never will be great In any way," she deplored. From tho shadows of the room a man came and took her hand. It was the school principal. "Miss Leslie," he said, his kind eyes upon her, "greatness lies In character and strength in truth. So you are great Jndeed this day. We are going to be friends, you and I," he added warmly. And Lluue knew that this was to be true. Few Like Him. "Tho ceutenarlan refuses to tell how he lived so long." "He won't lay down any bard and fast rules about what to do and what to avoid?" "No. He Bays just because tie's a hundred years old he's no longevity expert." . "We'll get his photograph, anyhow. He's a rare old bird." j.mi.,..,., .,-.,, .,,,, p iijiiimnrmmiimiiiiiiuiMi Fred Pullen went to Parma Sun day, wero ho will entejd high school as a Freshman.
