Boya from the time they are. old
enough to talk and walk go through
certain periods There are the toy age,
the age of sleds and skates and the
»mil age. At fourteen to fifteen moat
boys begin to consider costume, com
mencing with their cravat*. Thia In*
tereat develop« till at. seven teen all
their clothes must be especially to
their liking.
A t this tlma, too, they
usually begin to take notice of girls.
I have always considered th a t young
men are made or marred by the m ar
riage they make. A w ife w ith plenty
of common sense is a great help to a
mau; a frivolous, empty headed ope
may be his ruin. I therefore began to
watch my sou, H arry. ae soon as be
arrived at the girl noticing age w ith
ail a mother's solicitude.
I confess,
however, that I waa led to do so by a
discovery. When about to eend one of
bis suits out to be Ironed 1 emptied
his pockets. From the le ft upper rest
pocket I took out a piece of b lu e rib
bon.
'"""A’
1 received a shock not less Intense
than that experienced by a woman on
discovering a letter to her husband
from a rival, though not of the same
nature. T h a t my boy had entered the
rapids 1 had proof positive. W ould be
be swamped, or would he Ball Into a
snug harbor? Did the ribbon indicate
a real csjm . or waa It merely sporadic?
M y friend, Ruth Pennington, had a
daughter, Grace, fifteen years old.
Mrs. Pennington and I had often
laughingly talked of how nice It would
be I f my B a rry and her Grace should
make a match. O f course we did not
seriously expect i t Matches between
the children of old friends seldom come
about W e simply would have liked i t
Ruth came in while I waa meditating
over the discovery of the ribbon. She
remarked that I looked like Robinson
Crusoe when be first saw a footprint
In the sand. I told her all, and we
talked the matter over. Unfortunately
we got to discussing a case wherein
the son of a friend of ours bad mar
ried a chorus girl, then had gone to his
mother and asked her to help him get
rid of hts wife. This was followed by
citing a case wherein the daughter of
an acquaintance had ran away w ith a
coachman. B y-the time our Interview
ended we had worked ourselves into a
state of dreadful pessimism.
I am ashamed to confess that after
this I searched Ila r r y ’s pockets at in
tervals for clews. I made bat one dis
covery, but It was enough—a little
lock of hair, ring formed, folded in a
bit of paper. I was so frightened at
this portentous sign that I resolved to
go to B arry and demand the name of
the creature who waa doubtless lead
lag hinj into n trap. But after due
thought I decided that it would not do
for me to admit that I had gained a
knowledge of bla treasure anrreptl-
tioualy. Besides, such affairs thrive on
opposition. So I kept the secret
One day Ruth Pennington came to
me to tell me that Bhe waa having the
same trouble with Grace that I was
having with Hurry. She had caught
Grace standing before the fireplace
looking at a cord photograph. As the
mother entered Grace turned red an a
rose and threw the photograph Into the
fire, where It waa burned before the
mother could get a glimpse of the face.
Nothing could Induce the child to tell
who waa the original of t|ie likeness.
" I .only w is h i t w aa B a r r y 's ,” I said.
“ No such luck,’* Ruth replied. "She
and H a rry seldom see each other, and
when I once tw itted Grace about him
she said he was horrid.*
F o r an hour we discussed different
plans. Ruth considered taking Grace
abroad and putting her at school there,
hnt the plan was Impracticable. I
thought of sending B arry to a distant
boarding school, but be waa to euter
college the next year, and It would be
a pity to break In upon his preparatory
course.
A fte r this Ruth aud I were used to
comparing notes frequently. She could
not dtecorer any more clews In the
rase of her daughter, bat I came upon
them often In the case of my son. Ruth
and I agreed that our sex was more'
adept in concealing a uch matters than
men. However, nothing definite oc
curred in either case, and at last we
Itegan to be lulled to a better feeling.
One day Ruth came to me In a high
state of excitement and told me that
she had discovered ■ a bundle o f love
letters In Grace's possession. But they
g iv e her no Inform ation as to the iden-
tily of the lover, for they were all
w ritten o n . a type machine and un-
ctgned. " it h o would suspect such cun
ning In those so youug?” said Ruth.
"But 1 fear the man may be much
elder than Grace. Oh. heavens, sup
pose she has l»een fascinated by an
uctor! I told her that we should sail In
on« week for Europe Rhe turned pale.
I shall watch her carefully lent she
elope w ith him."
T w o daya a fte r thia, when 1 went to
H a rry ’s room to call him, as usual, I
waa terrified not to find him there, dot
ft ad his bed been slept in. I rushed
over to Ruth Pennington to tell her of
my trouble and found her In the same
condition as myself. H e r little bird,
too, had flown. Then we looked nt
each other, something dawning on the
face o f each.
“ I w o n d e rr I gasped.
“ And I wonder, too!“ gasped Ruth.

Parents’ Dilemma Over Child Lost Two Years Ago—Is the One
That Has Just Been Found oif Streets the Same? -
On Sunday morning, March 26. 190«,
during a snowstorm, W illiam Leonard
B e n tle y , two years old. disappeared.
U a waa last aeon playing outside the
bouse of his father, Frank Bentley, 8t.
James* road, W atford, England. Search
parties were organised, the river was
dragged by the police, gypsy vans were
overhauled, but no trace of the child
could be discovered.
On Feb. 20 last a boy between four
and five yearn old was found crying
In Bushey llig u struct. H e said bi J
name was Jackie Brown, but nothing
definite could be got from him aa to
bow he got there. The police took him
to W atford workhouse. H e waa w all
dressed and w ell nourished. To some
extent he answered the description of
the Bentley boy.

moved to Ijeoda. Ar letter was sent to

W atford to see the child- They were
not certain Jackie Brown waa their
child, though be bore a certain resem
blance.
They went home, talked the m atter
over, and. clinging to the hope that the
child might, a fte r all, be theirs, they
sent to the guardians asking to be al
lowed to adopt Jackie Brown for one
month on probation. The guardians
readily granted consent
The little boy traveled to Yorkshire a
few days ago In the care of a Great
Northern guard. M r. Bentley met the
little fellow at Ivetta station and took
him to hla home, at lx>wer W ortley.
Tbs child at first deeplayed consider
able shyness, although this wore off a
good deal on hla being coaxed.
Aa soon as he had been given some
thin? to eat Mrs. Bentley began a great
experluu ut. Tw o years ago their little
son used to play w ith a little toy
wheelbarrow. This was brought out
for the youngster’s Inspection. H e ac

Mrs. Bentley subsequently said th a t

I t cams ju st as Remsen was strolling
Into F ifth avenue from hla »lfib » few
doors away.
A motor car was creeping along foot
foot. Impeded by a freshet of vehl
i that filled tbe street In tbe car
were a chauffeur and an o|d get)t|etpsq
w ith snowy side whiskers and a Scotch
plaid cap which could not be worn
while autoraoblllng except by a per
sonage. Not even a wine agsq| wopld
dare do I t But these two were o f no
consequence except perhaps fo r the
guiding of the machine and tbe paying
for It- A t the old gentleman’s side aat
a young lady more beautiful than
pomegranate blossoms, more agqp|aite
than tbe first quarter moon viewed at
tw ilig h t through the tope of oleanders.
Remsen saw her and knew his fate
H a could have flung himself under
the very wheels that conveyed her, but
he knew that would be the last means
of attracting tbe attention of
who ride In motor cars. Slowly tbe
auto passed and, if we place tbe poets
above the autoleta, carried the heart of
Remeen w ith it. Here was a large city
of millions and m any woman who at a
certain distance appear to resemble
pomegranate blossoms. Yet ba hoped
to see her again, for each one fancies
that his romance has its own tutelary
guardian and divinity.
Luckily for Remsen’s peace of mind,
there cams a diversion In the guise of
a reunion o f the Gentle Riders e f the
city. There were not many of them,
perhaps a score, and there were wassail
and things to cat and speeches, and
the Spaniard waa bearded again In
