Walall l J AMI'S IlltVANT lacked confidence, lie failed because he didn't have nerve I "There's a wonderful opening here In Jluitowii for u modern grocery lore," Mrs. Hryiuit declared nt the dinner table as aha nud her husband discussed the family fortunes! "we might easily establish one." ' "But, lluttle," Bryant cautioned, "we haven't tho capital stock. We've only our little suvlugs account of S.VNI." "But that would give us a start," tho wife countered; "Ihe wholesale men will 'curry' you for a time If you make hii Initial payment, Klve hundred dollars ought to lay the foun dation for a nice stock of fancy gro ceries. The rent on the Stiihbs prop erty Isn't high. If we could operate the first month then we could take our profits and Increase our slock for (ha coming months" "But, stop, my dear wife," Bryant nrged, "we cun t take a chance, Whnt If tho business fulled? Then our life's savings would be swept away nud we would have (o start all over again, I tell you, lluttle, toy 1.15 a week at Cohen's Isn't ao bad. Bookkeeping gets on my nerves sometimes, Uut a fellow has to do lots of things that he doesn't like." Thus It was for the thousandth time the family of James Bryant Indefi nitely positioned the day when Ihe head of the family would luunch out In business for himself. The wife at length agreed her husband acted wise ly In urging a conervatlve method ot ope ration. One day a tall, bewhiskered gentle man stepped from a train In Jliutnwn. llie street urchins trailed at the heels of ihe aged man and peoplo at shop windows eyed with great curiosity this odd looking stranger, who, unheralded snd unannounced had entered the streets of quaint Jlmtown. The ven erahle gentleman paused before S sign that read "Cohen's Celieral Slore" and a moment Inter stoocd (o enter the rather low door. "I'm looking fer a boy named Bry ant," the old gentleman announced, "or rather a man perhaps by thla time. James Bryant's his name. I'm his un cle. I'm Tet O'Brammn from I VI ttln, down on the It lo Grande, a gold miner In Mexico and I'm here (o see my oephew." An Instant Inter and James Bryant was shaking Ihe hand of his sged uncle. In another Instant ha waa studying the huge stone worn on the uncle's band. The uncle discovered that ring with the gtnnl set had been seen, and be smiled with satisfaction. "It's the real article!" O'ltrannon said; "why, In Pel lllo they rail me Headlight O'Hraniion due lo Hint sparkler!" "But where did you gel II, I'nele Text Here In (ieorgla we don't have mines that prod ore such gems as that guess you dug It out of the ground?" I'nele Tex O'ltriinnon smiled at his nephew's apparent Ignorance of Ihe mineral products of Tenia. "No, I was given that diamond ring ss a reword for kindness done an old miner down In Chihuahua," explained O'Bannon. "The miner was dying of pfteiimnnlh nnd I nursed him In bis shack until death released blm from tils mlery. Now, the old miner gave me this ring and I've worn It ever lnce. They say It's worth a fortune. But I've never worried lo find out Ita real value. I had a special purpiwe In view for this ring during the five (Cars I have kept It, and now I'm go ing to dispose of the ring as I have planned and. then rush on In a miners' meeting before the congressional com nilllee ot Washington." , Bryant grew Interested. Ills eyee widened with excitement uml be Us teiieil with the enthusiasm of a school child expecting a holiday announce nient. "!, James, my dear nephew," Tex O'ltrannon announced, "I'm going to make you and lluttle a present of this ring a wedding gift I I've meant to give you something all these years. Bill we Westerners Just gel carelesa. I'll run down and leave II with Ihe wife and (hen calch the next train northward. I'm In somewhat of a rush I" Jim Bryant could hardly believe his own eyes. He sat In a daxed condi tion for several minutes Then, wllb a reckless daring (bill bad never been exhibited before by hi in In his life, Bryant picked' up his fel' hat nnd boldly walked from Ihe cashier's Mom like an Imprisoned bird ' flitting through the dK,r of a rage accidental ly b,ft open. ' ' ''I'll he back shortly," Bryant an nnunced to his employer, "going nut to get a hit of fresh ulr; haven't had much lately. The slore owner overlooked Ihe surprising remark and smiled. He wns or a generous nature and really was delighted to see good fortune come 'the way iof. his hard working bookkeeper. 1 ' . "Hid he leave Itr questioned Bry ant In an excited tone as he entered the humble Bryant collage In an out lying section. "Hut tie, did he leave It?" "Yes, my denrl" Mrs, Bryant, her cheeks flushed with excitement, ex claimed, "und he says It's worth a for tune I" ;"Iear old Uncle Tei, I re member he once wrote us a letter from Mexico telling us he was going to remember our wedding.

' Within ll( months the store was found too smalt ' nnd a larger place wns rented oil an Important street Intersection, But Bryant's business still Increased, At tho close of Ihe Oral year he opened a second store.

I'ncjit Teg O'Bannoii hud long since passed nwny, but bin enterprising nephew war following In tho foolstepa of that matt whose boundless energy and venture some spirit had wrung .a fortune out of the desert siuiils of Chihuahua. Meanwhile a baby daughter had been burn In the Bryants, had grown lota young womanhood and had chos en for herself a male. The wedding ' waa approaching and James Brysnt, now weighted down with cures of a huge chain of grocery stores and bnlfdou-n other business enterprises, had but little time for romance. But nt length he mine to discus the mut ter with his wife, They must select some suitable wedding gift, "Oh, I II tclfyoii." ihe wife mild en Ihuslnstlcally, "the headlight! It brought us good luck. Now lei ,us pass It on to our daughter." James llryant hurried swny to Ihe National llauk btilldlni. A teller es corted him tu a safety vault where a private lockbox waa removed. The- ' headlight waa taken with tender oara . from the place whcre.lt had rested for many a year. Then Bryant went to a Jeweler's establishment across the street. He would have Ihe headlight mounted on a better class of material. The wedding day approached and Bryant went after the headlight. The Jeweler wore a perplexed look when (be wealthy James Itrysnt entered. He seemed to have something on his mind thai was giving blm a lot of trouble. . .-. ' ; "Is the headlight ready T Bryant asked. "Not yel." Ihe Jeweler replied, "Ita delayed Ihe work pending a confer ence with you, Mr. Bryant. The head light Is worthless I Just glass! Noth ing more!" James Bryant waa silent. "I'm afraid somebody lias Inken ad vantage of your Ignorance of gems,' the Jeweler announced. "I'm willing to help locate the culprit 1" Itrysnt stood as erect as an Apacha on guard, lie didn't see the Jeweler. He saw Instead a struggling bookkeep er who wns sfrald to resign from a in a week Job and take a chance with fortune I "Pin sure you are wrong P Bryant finally said, "Ihe stone Is worth a mil lion dollars of an) body's money! U ahead and mount It on the most val uable material that oU rnu obtain." Extension Light That . Should Prove Popular l There Is In Use an extension elec tric light device conelrni ted very much upon ihe principle of the racpunlcr's lnM-tlne. A cord I."i fii-t long Is eon tallied In (he esse, having a twthan Ism fur rewinding mi one side and an llicainle-ceiil lump Socket on the other. When light Is desired Ml Sume. dis tance from the regular fixture, a plug on the end of Ihe cord Is screwed Into Ihe regular socket and the cord drawn out to the required distance. A cuteti holds the cord from rewinding at- any desired point, so Hint the lamp may tie eiiH'inlcd a few Inches Mow Ihe fixture If one so desires. II la a I no connected with a leather strap, where by II may be hung up. Many un-s for such nn extension light are easily found. If carried ss a pari of Ihe traveling equlppo'tit, It la not necessary in curry a lump, as Ihe socket and plug are of standard rlr.e and will fit spy fix I lire In com mon use.
