In cleaning the sparking points use

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

"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

James Bryant wua a natural busts ,
ticss umn. Ills store prospered and
the firm tumitli'i receipts were sulll
clent ly large lo pay outstanding debts
nnd to Increase the stock. ' 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.
Then, Willi the pnsslng years, Jnmus .
Bryant became a wealthy man and a, .
power In the commercial world. 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.
