When Angus Patterson, bereft of his wife, left for 8outh America to look up a mining proposition? be did not know that he would never see his lit tle daughter Jean again. In fact, so sure was he that he would return within the year that he placed her In a private school and paid her board and tuition In advance for exactly twelve months from date. . "Teach ber manners." he bluntly told the head of the school, Cynthia Kralllng. "Some day she'll nianuge a big establishment" At the time be supposed It would be his own. Kissing the weeping Jean be com forted her with assurances that he would soon be home again, and In the meanwhile exhorted her to study hard, be a good girl, and write regu larly to Aunt Julie, ber dead mother's sister whose husband eaptalned a string of barges operating between Buffalo and New York. Then Angus took his departure to Invest what little fortune he bad In a losing venture, and shortly after to die of jungle fever far In the Interior of Braxll. Money or no money, Cynthia Krall lng would gladly have kept Jean on at school, but there came a day when she abandoned teaching to marry, and the problem of disposing of Jean had to be faced. Opportunely there ar rived one morning a pleasant-faced woman who announced herself as Jean's Aunt Julie and begged for a visit from her sister's child. So, with a little pang as she looked Into the girl's starry eyes, she sold good-by and, like Jean's father, bade her be "a good girl." She promised not to forget her and. If the time ever came when she needed her, to prove Jean's, friend. So ended the first phase of Jean Patterson'i life. When Helen Cabot bought a ma hogany speed boat for her son Dick and turned htm loose In It for the summer she did not foresee the con sequences. "The poor boy Is worn out with studying." she told her husband, "and before going Into your office In the full needs a good rest out of doors. He has set his heart on a certain boat Let him have It" So the speed devil was purchased, and with a couple of friends Dick set off up the Hudson for a destination that was vague but distant Georgian bay at the very nearest. A day later they locked Into the Erie with several barges, among them one which stood out above the others because of Its well-kept condition. freshly laundered curtains at every cabin window, pots of brilliant gerani ums at the door, and a sleek cat blink ing lastly In the sunshine. ' Whatever details Dick absorbed at first glance, however, were immedi ately eclipsed by the young girl who sat sewing In a low chair, her slender ankles gracefully crossed. The awtah of the Incoming water, accustomed although she was to It, for an instant startled her, and she looked up straight Into Dick's eyes ai he stood on the old towpath manip ulating ropes for the smoother pas sage of the Speed Devil. "I am going to marry that girl,' he declared to hla seandalUed compan ions. "Watch me. Meanwhile r we hang about here with the barges until I can make an opportunity to meet her." '" .'' Dick met her aunt and uncle, and little by little he won their confidence and Jean's affections. On the day that she promised to marry him with in the year he wrote to his parents. "She la the most beautiful girl In (he w2flir ha ended hli letter. TiiVf..-; .v.. Helen went to pieces over the fonv nitinlrstlon. "Imnglne t" she said, our rck losing his head over a pretty barge girl I" Then she (fathered her wits together to combat the situation. WT 1. i. it l. i. a. m . i m a ' ""w l"K 1 " " l" w aeciareo. "I'll Invite her here and give a din ner for her. It cannot fall to show lit in how utterly unfitted she Is to fit Into the environment to which be would bring her as his wife." Ho hopefully she sat down at her spinet desk and wrote two cleverly Worded notes one to her beloved son and one to the dreadful girl who bad eminared him. A week luter Jean Patterson, with a very fluttering heart stood In the doorway of the Cabot drawing room. Well she knew that she was on trial and that her futut was at stake, and bitterly she dreaded the ordeal. Unfortunately, Dink's mother par sued her reflections, little things would give the girl' breeding away, those Indefinable trifles so minute, yet so essential. As for Jean herself, she seemed suddenly to have returned to the at mosphere of the old private school of her girlhood, of which she had made no mention to the Cabot, and nncon sclouoly little tricks of genture and speech leorned lit Hint time returned to help ber over the difficult moment of Introductions. Ht 1 11. she could not but feel an outcast here where every one knew everyone else. Suddenly a wotnun who hadj en tered but a moment before a tall dignified woman with dlHtlngulshed white hair and friendly eyes came quickly forward. "Helen," she said, "who Is this girl 7" Then, turning to Jean, "Is it possible cun it be that you are little Jean I'utterson, star pupil at my school? Dick, you lucky boy I Dick," she explained to the be wildered Jean, "Is my tiUHband'S nephew. What a lovely surprise! Then she turned to her slster-Jn law. "It's a small world, after all, Isn't ltr she said. And Dirk, who knew thnt his cause was won, whispered tenderly to Jean. "If you had told me, darling, you knew Aunt Cynthia I" "I didn't know" began Jean. Then she felt Helen's arm propelling her gently forward to more newcomers. "Dear Jeun, I want you to meet " And Jean went happily. After all. whether Dick's mother loved her for herself alone or because she hud been, so to speak, vouched for by her old school mistress, what difference did It make? Ingenious Thief Had Crow as Accomplice An Ingenious trick was that prac ticed by a youth named Boscbat early In 1011. He went Into a grocer's shop In Paris and asked for some sugar; and when the grocer returned from getting It he almost Jumped out of his skin to see a black crow sitting on one of the shelves eyeing him I The bird fluttered about the shop, defying all efforts of the grocer to cap ture him. While the tradesman's at tention was disturbed Bosch at quietly rifled the till and then gave a little whistle. At the signal the crow flew out of the shop, with Its owner after It, apparently doing his best to cap ture his pet. It was only when the clever thief and his black accomplice had disap peared out of sight that the grocer discovered how he had been robbed. Swiss National Flower The edelweiss, the national floral emblem of Switzerland, is a white, star-shaped perennial flower. It plays an Important part In the legend and poetry of that nation and, due to Its rarity, Jaws protect It there. Ap- ) peering In exposed places, high In the Alps of Switzerland, Tyrol, Carlnthla, ; Austria and Serbia, Its fame la due 1 chiefly to the difficulty In obtaining It 1 Thrilling tales are told of the lure of the rare edelweiss. That It can be j easily cultivated, however, has been i proved by Its frequent appearance In ' American and European gardens. The ! plant grows about six Inches high. Its compound flowers are surrounded by ' small, woolly flower-leaves (bracts) and sage-green foliage leaves. Almost any soil, not too rich and fully $x- ' posed to the sun, will produce edel- 1 welss plants, for the woolly covering ' enables them to hold moisture and en- dure expasure. The word Is from the German, and means "noble white." Historical Diamond The Great Mogul diamond was a celebrated Indian diamond whose his tory is said to date from SO B. C In the Fourteenth century It fell Into the bunds of the rajnh of Malwa and later became the property of the Mogul em perors at Delhi. The French Jeweler, Tavernler, says he saw the diamond at the court of Aurungzebe In 1005, and declares that It weighed. In the rough state, 703 carats. It Is general ly described, however, as a round, white rose-cut stone of 280 carats. It was probably stolen and broken up at the sack of Delhi by Nadir Shah In 1780. By some authorities It la Identi fied with the Koh-l-nur and by others with the Orloft. Egg Teacher Sioux City, Iowa.

Otto Kuebe of Dakota City were fined ' $100 and costs each In court In South Sioux City. They testified they threw i the eggs because the teacher had I whipped one of their children.
