LIGHTS GF HOME By PHILIP KEAN (Coiiynglit, Mil, bj Awuouuxl Literary Proas.) Stephen did ndt mind tha dark, The night wis tempestuous and back of him the Bea moaned. He was sure, however, that in a little while he would see the lights of home; that always opposite roe, Anne.1 had always been the Joy of his re- She was pouring his tea cared. No one but little Ann. He DEVELOPING had a vision of what life might be If he could makn hlmsplf settle down in some quiet place with this girl as his wife. Surely there would be much that was pleasant In an extstenr,? with such a woman by his side. While he wa not conceited, he had little fear that he could win her. They had been friends, always, and be did not doubt that he could rouse a deeper feeling. w. He voiced some of his feeling when, as they sat down at the table, he said, "I wish your face might be turn. His mother had kept a candle In the window, and after a long voy age the steady flame was Btephen's welcome. A Jutting rock hid the cot tage until one was almost upon If, but he knew that the obstacle once passed he would see the starlike gleam. It was with a feeling of In- tense disappointment, therefore, when having rounded the rock, he faced blackness. Following the disappoint ment came fear. Why bad the light gone out? The house when he reached It showed a locked door and closed shutters, the forlornness of an unln- habited building. Stephen sat down weakly on the front steps. He was sure that some thing had happened to his mother. In his voyage of two years it had not been possible to recelvo letters, al though he had written regularly, Many things might have happened in that time illness, death. With a feeling of deep foreboding he rose, "uncertain where to go, but with the remembrance of a former schoolmate, little Anne Martin, who had comforted his mother in her loneliness, He went down f'e path with heavy steps, then stopped short and turned as a sudden flicker of light illumined the darkness. With the light life came back into the empty bouse, the tfi ' AAV fry y, r- . rfl'L 'fcW J fa Vw" From Outside the Window He Called the Girl: "Little Anne!" shutters in the sitting-room were opened, and the candle could be seen straight and tall oa the table. ' It was not the candle at which Stephen looked, however, but at a ' girl who stood behind the table, her band shielding the flame. She was tall and fair with a blue ribbon band ed around her shining curls. The room behind her had the dreary look of a place not lived ' in There was no fire on the hearth, no work basket oh the window ledge, or purring cat on tbe cushioned bench. There was an unreal air of tidiness which chilled him. From outside the window he called the girl: "Little Anne!" She came and looked Into the dark ness. "Is it Stephen," she asked. breathlessly, "at last?" He caught her hand in his. . "Where is my mother?" he de manded. "Oh!" she walled, "has nobody told you?" "No, but the room tells me," he said, heavily. "She was very ill," the girl said softly, "and at last she went to sleep and I promised to keep the light al ways in the window for you. Tonight I was late because I stopped at the wharf to watch the 6hip come in. never dreaming that you were on it." She opened the door and let him in. "It is a sad home coming," she said, "but you must let me get your sup jer. I bought mine In town and I will cook it here and then I won't havg to eat alone." "Alone?" h questioned. "Father is out fishing. There's Just ths twp of us left". I In the 1)askef which she brought from the steps were a loaf of bread, bacon and eggs. "There Ib tea left in your mother's canister," said Little Anne, "and if you will build the fire I will soon have things ready." With the fire burning steadily in the stove, he watched her flit from room to room. Her presence rested and comforted him. In his wandering life he bad felt little need for domestic Joya. The little New England village bad not provided enough excitement to satisfy him. and he had traveled to the end of the world seeking adven ture. He had found it, and what after all was it worth? He bad a. sense sud denly of utter forlornness. With bis mother dead, tiers was no one who and she smiled at him brightly. "You must stay with father and me until you o away again." "Perhaps I shall not go away," he said. She shook her head at him. "You could never stay in one place long," she said. "Perhaps if there was some one to keep me," he said, significantly. . But she refused to take bis mean ing. "You could never settle down," she Insisted. It was not the time or the place to press his suit, but when he had been home a week he asked her to marry him, and she refused. "The spirit of the wanderer will come upon you," she said. Your ship sails next week, you will want to go with it, and I could never live the life that your mother lived, waiting with the candle in the window." "I would stay with you," he saJd ardently. "You would hold any man." But she persisted in her refusal, "You will want' to go with your ship," she repeated; "you will grow restless, and I shall feel that I am second in. your thoughts." I shall not want to go," be de clared, but, when the time for sailing came, he found himself drawn irre sistibly to the dock. The great steam er was ready for her voyage, fresh with paint; and there was about her the atmosphere of mystery which be longs to vessels that sail the tropic seas. The other end of her voyage would find ber where dark-skinned people stood on white sands to wel come her. Back of them would be waving palms, where brlght-hued birds made their nests a land of indolence and allurement. He realized that his love of Little Anne was a thing of recent growth, while, all his life, his passion for the sea had held him. i Was there any thing about this fair-haired. girl which would keep him contented in a future of inaction? Even as he thought of her, she came and stood beside him on the .dock. "I want you to go away, Stephen," she said, "and If, when you come back In two years, you still care for me, I will believe that you know yourself better than you do now." It was not easy for him to go, yet he realized when he was once on his Journey that it would not have been easy for blm to stay. The spell of the sea was on. him, and he was, be fore everything else, a sailor. But he realized, as time went on. there was another spe'J upon him the tropic country, the lazy life did not satisfy. He found himself buying, not as he bad bought before, useless trink ets, but things' which would beautify a home, a carved chest, embroideries and . linens things that a woman would like. And when he bought a ring of curious workmanship, of beat en gold with a dull blue stone, he knew that he had made up his mind. He knew, too, that be had made his last voyage. On the return trip his heart failed him. What if Little Anne had not been true? What if her love were not waiting for him? Other men knew her charm, and other men had not sailed away aiid left her. She. was not on the dock when the boat came In, and fearing to face the things he dreaded be took his way to his mother's cottage. As be rounded the Jutting rock he looked for the light And it was there! Anne was waiting! "1 shall never go away again," he said, as she welcomed him. "But won't you long for the sea? I am Jealous of it." He shook his head. "I know now that nothing has for me the charm of the lights of home. There is beau ty to be found elsewhere and wonder and adventure, but these things do not count when weighed in the balance with such women as you. I have found that out, and I know my mind now, Little Anne." LOVE CF ART Hava CWAuitu During Trwlr School days Acquire the Ha-lt of Visit Ing Picture Galleries. A Kt)i;i!l lansle was conducted by her raoilior or: a tour of the Layton gallery and the established etiquette for art galluih.a in general was being includ ed as a part of ber instruction for the dayi. Standing before a particularly prosaic-looking canvas, she found it convenient to divert her mind by utilizing the brass railing as a trap eze thereby developing the muscles of her back and arms. "What are you doing?" tbe fond mother inquired. "Do you think this Is a gymnasium? You don't come to an art gallery to swing on a railing. You come to look at the pictures. Stand up there, if you want to come again." The implied threat as a finality was effective so far that there was no question in the onlooker's mind as to the treat the little lady evident ly regarded a visit to the gallery. That is the great point to have children during their schooldays . acquire the habit of visiting picture galeries. Then It will be but a matter of time for the development of discriminative appreciation. That and real affection for the truly beautiful will follow logically. Alms Mater.

Ewe's Care of Blind Lamb Proof They Are Not Devoid of In telligence. Sheep are not usually considered sa gacious, but the following incident will show that they are not devoid of In telligence. A ewe gave birth to a lamb which was .totally blind. Tbe ewe soon realised that something was wanting In ber off-spring, and be stowed especial care on it, so that It grew np a fine, healthy animal. One day the farmer was driving the ewes and lambs to, a field of fresh pasture. On the way they had to cross a small river by a rude bridge that had no railing or defence of any kind at the side. The farmer forgot all about the blind lamb, but the mother ewe did not On reaching the bridge she turn ed quickly round and, seizing her off spring by the ear, walked slowly back ward over the bridge, drawing the lamb after her and making a mur muring noise all the while. Nor did she quit her hold till safe on the other side, while the farmer looked on In amazement. these organs in a -healthy. .condition and corrects constipation. .. Munyon's Paw-Paw Pills are a tonic to the stomach, liver and nerves. They invigorate instead of weaken ing; they enrich the blood instead of impoverishing it ; they enable the stom ach to get all the nourishment from food that is put into it. These pills contain no calomel, no dope, they are soothing:, healing; and stimulating. They school the bowels to act without physic Price 25 cents. TO KEEP WELL DURING WINTER is a very hard task for any man or woman whose sys tem has become weakened on account of some illness of the stomach, liver and bowels. It is to those' per sons that Hostetter's Stom ach Bitters will appeal very forcibly, because it will tone and strengthen the organs of digestion, make plenty of rich, warm blood and thus prevent Chills, Colds and Grippe.
