Mw who has never known defeat. It is not that a kind fate has always smiled upon her aspirations, but. that she has the greatest possibility of turning ad versity to her account. Difficulties great or small she promptly transfers from the debit to the credit side of her life. This is partly the reason that when Uncle Sam needed a woman to establish a school in the little Russian village of Ninllchic. in Alaska, Mrs. An dersen was chosen for the post. It is entirely the reason that after three years of service she is still there. Ninilchic is a village on the Cook In let with a population entirely of Rus sians. The mode of life is exactly Identical to that of their banished Rus sians ancestors. The same ceremonies are observed. The same holidays cele brated and the same superstitions ad hered to. No white woman who was not a Russian had ever come to the vil- age and Mrs. Andersen was not warmly welcomed. All possible obstacles were put in her way to prevent her securing building for a school, and when at last she did obtain a little tumble down house at the outskirts the people at first refused to send their children to school. At length she succeeded in winning the confidence of, the people in the vil lage to a limited extent, but they were constantly on the alert to criticise. The climax came, however, when measles broke oat in the little town. With no knowledge of sanitation and without a doctor within reach, the superstitions of the people held full sway. ' They accused Mrs.- Andersen of witchcraft. In fear of the disease they ran away and left the suffering members of the Amateur Photographers' Headquarters!

Mrs. Andersen knew little of medicine and she had not so much as a medicin chest with her, but she had nursed he own child through the measles, an without hesitation applied the sam methods to all of her villagers. In the population of 90 Mrs. Andersen alon espaped the ' sickness, and she wen about among the people, applying lib erally turpentine, cathartic pills, car bolic acid and talcum powder, the onl medical supplies obtainable. Her self assurance won an answering assuranc from the people, who returned to the! homes from which they had fled and aided in the care of the stricke members of their families. The ep demlc, which on previous occasions had claimed scores through the ignor ance of the- natives, took but two on this occasion, and Mrs. Andersen wa acclaimed the savior of the village. It is unlikely that she succeeded i dispelling the grim superstitions o the people she nursed or brought them to a more scientinc state or mind.-nu she did succeed in winning for herself a certain worshipful respect, and he word became law. After curing a dread malady It was a simple matter to con vince the patients that it is well to learn to read and write, that clothing may be made from other things bette suited to the Alaskan climate than flou sacks, and that it is advisable for even children to wear underwear, an idea which until then had never presented itself to the minds of the simple peo pie. The Smd?wjStopt By Mrs EA."Walker. The Lost Jewels. rpo MILK the cows at once," said the harsh voice of Gretchen's aunt. "Your cousin End I are waitin for the milk for tea." Poor Gretchen picked up the pail and started down the patch toward the meadow. She ran quickly, for she lived in fear of her aunt, who had come to the house on the death of her parents and brought Olga, her only daughter. Olga was spoiled and the aunt made poor Gretchen wear rags and do all the work, while Olga sat about dressed up and sleeping most of the day. As Gretchen crossed the road she felt her foot strike against something hard and saw a. bag lying at her feet. On opening it she found it was full of gleaming jewels crosses' of rubies. ropes of. pearls, rings of sparkling dia monds and bracelets of amethysts. By the side Of the bag was a little bird fluttering about wildly. while its mother vainly tried to get it back in the nest above. Gretchen tenderly placed the bird by its mother's side, then put the bag in her pocket. After she reached home with the milk she went at once to her room and, kneeling there in her garret, by the light of the candle she again cx amined the bag of gems. One ring, a circlet, fashioned of twisted gold, with three diamonds, she placed on her finger. Then on the ragged hero, of her dress she pinned a beautiful filigree of emeralds woven into the shape of a crown. "How beautiful they look," she said, "I will return them to the owner as soon as I can find him." Then she hid them under her prllow. knowing her aunt would take them If they were seen by her. Soon Gretchen was sound asleep. She did not Jtnow the aunt had been peeping through the door, and had seen her hide the bag under her pillow. Softly the woman crept in stole the bag and went back tot her own room. When the girl awoke in the morning she was greatly distressed o find the bag gone. "Oh. I can never return it to its owner! she wailed. Then she glanced down and saw the ring still on her finger, the emerald pin yet on her dress. So she hid bot deep in her pocket. After" breakfast, as she was washing the dishes, they heard the sound of a trumpet, and the Kings her ald passed by. He was proclaiming thai the Prince had lost his bag of gems, and that anyone who restored it to the owner should be his bride. This delighted the aunt. "Come Olga-. she said. "I found the jewejs and we will claim for you the reward. You will marry the Prince, and one day become queen. So the aunt and Olga set out for the court, carrying the Jewels in their silk en bag. Poor Gretchen was left to wash, sweep and bring water. As she went again by the tree beneath which she had found the little bird she saw the mother bird sitting on a branch and singing: ' Your aunt so wicked and cruel Has stolen the Prince's Jewel. Go show him the ring- and emerald so preen. Then he'll know the truth and you'll be bis Queen. "Oh! thank you, thank you, kind bird, said Gretchen as she sped home again. ' In a few moments she had put on a clean gown and was on her way to the Kings court. When she got there she found the great hall full of nobles, bands of music were playing and the aunt was showing the King n rrmr i -iniiwini vm iipwiiiiii wi i mi j "ii ' ii " -' " .-. - T .- - rr . r ... , Ins '-'.ggiM cas I jHfc!fv .

AV'ithout stopping a moment Gretchen came forward and said in a low voice, "It was I that found the gems. 'What, you! shrieked the aunt in a rage. "Away with her she is mad. But the King was struck by the girl's pretty face and simple manner and said he would hear her story. 'Are all the jewels there?" asked Gretchen. . The King counted them over and replied that a ring and a pin of emerald were missing. 'I have them." said Gretchen, laying both in the King's hands. "My aunt stole the bag from under my pillow. but the pin and ring were not then in t. I found the bag and do not claim the reward unless the Prince desires me." The Prince looked long at the fair maid standing so firmly, but with such patience, and his heart warmned to her simple manner and kindly heart. Nowhere in fiis father's kingdom was there a, maiden more sweet or true. Gretchen speaks the truth," said the Prince, as he stepped from his throne noble in soul as I am by birth she shall be my queen. Drive that wicked woman and her daughter from the castle," he continued, pointing at the aunt, who stood by dumb with sur prise. (Copyright, 3016, by the Mcciure newspaper Syndicate, ie 1 orK city.)
