By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD
. 114. Matlur NwwprSrBdloaU.)
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.
