It was a baby, nestling under lace
covers, that gave Barbara the idea
though it was more than an idea to the
lonely young woman, for it became I
her constant longing. Barbara Waincot
had so long known only the care of
others that sacrifice was a part of her
life, so when the last invalid, an aunt,
passed on to her rest leaving Barbara
quite alone with a simple legacy to
barely cover her needs-well, the kind
ly young woman began to look about
for another needy charge. The baby
In Its lacy nest typified a heretofore
unknown need of her own.
"Why not." she asked herself, her
soft cheeks glowing, "why not adopt a
baby and have something to love and
something to love me?" The thought
grew to fill Barbara's dreams. With
the assistance of a friend Barbara
was able to find the little one of her
desire. The baby's mother had died
at its birth-the father just before.
Barbara made arrangements for adop
tlon, which had been the sad mother's
wish. She named it Sylvia.
"Sylvia sounds so prettily romantic,"
she told the friend.
"I hope that my little girl will know
in life all those beautiful things which
I have been obliged to forego."
But all too promptly had Barbara
put girlish dreams aside. Just as Syl
via was learning to lisp the name
'Bab,' which was the nearest baby lips
could get to Barbara, along came Bar
bara's delayed lover. Paul Strong pos
sessed qualities which made him
worthy to be Barbara's mate, but in
the friendship which followed his fall
lag became unpleasantly evident-Paul
was unreasonably, persistently jealous
and as the only occasion for jealousy -
must come through baby Sylvia. Paul -
was jealous of Sylvia.
An imperious small ruler was Paul L
Strong's rival. And Barbara's tenoer
heart was torn. her will hovering, for
she had learned to love Paul, and be
would accept only undivided homage.
"Surely," she begged her lover, "you h
would not ask me to give Sylvia p? t
Why, dear, she loves me as she would b;
have loved a mother of her own."
"You are not that mother," Paul an- a
swered sharply, "and In a very short c
time another could take your place in
the child's affections."
A pang crossed Barbara's heart Yet o
I she knew that this little clinging thing o
needed her guiding care, no other must t
substitute. This, her charge, so griev- f
r Ing deeply, she sent Paul away. r
e The years went on. rn her carefree
girlhood Sylvia flaunted more and t
more her happy rule. C
"Babs will do anything in the world
b for me," she lovingly boasted. Sylvia
had grown very lovely-Barbara had a
Sgrown paler, thinner. Then Paul
dtrong came back. Sylvia was the
Sfirst to see him as he came down the
village street
"8weetie," she addressed her foster
mother, "I saw a most distinguishebd
Kman turning in to the old Strong place
A today. Why here be comes now." 4
Barbara looked to see her old lover.
Then, trembling a little, Barbara went
to open the door to him. She fancied
a flash of disappointment in his eyes
as he looked at her. ier own heart
was singing, "He has come back
come back."
During the following weeks Paul
was a Eonstant visitor at Barbara's lit
tIe house.
"You still love Sylvia better than
lifer Paul asked Barbara, but now
his toae was merely humoreou.
"Eghteen years has not made M
SSove her ler," Barbara answered quiet
ly. Paul and Sylvia, walking one eve

Sylvia, sweet and dlirable, who

" How could one help but love yoa,

sadly:
"I am old, child, old in years, with
a n unruly heart still yong to love."
Slowly Barbar went up to har

The eastern mind sympathized with car
the dragoi and made it the emblem the

where anyone attempted to destroy a rol
dragon, for they were usually regarded an
as sacred and of incomparable power.
The West, however, true to its tem

eoqquered and slain by the wit of man.
The dragon is almost the symbol of ho
nature in the East, and the different T
ways of meeting it seem to form an wl

wasn't therel She reached into the 84.55 I1
pocket on the other side. Then she I"kin
looked up at the conductor in dismay,
a grim, sour-looking old man who
looked as itf he would make allowances EL
for no one.
"But I'm sure my purse was In my
pocket when 1 boarded the train. It
must be here."
While he waited she searched fran
tically on the seat, under the seat. in
her traveling bag, in her hat box.
Then, flushed and breathless, she 60
looked up. "I'm sorry-I can give you
a check. And here's my personal
card."
"Sorry. We don't take no checks,
miss."
"WThat can I do?"
"You'll have to get off at the next
stop-St. Michael-a hundred miles
further on. And I'll have to ask you
to go Into the coach."
It was a Bushed and Indignant
young woman who gathered up her 71
baggage and followed the conductor
Into the hot, stuffy coach.
About midday she found herself on
the station platform, her patent leath
er luggage beside her.
"Porter, missa"
But she had no money with which
to pay for such a luxury, so, much to N
his disgust, she struggled into the so
ticket office, up to the window, and
asked for a telegraph blank. C<
"Lost purse. Telegraph one hun
Sdred to me at St. Michael. Dorothy." i
"Yes, it can go collect. Walt a al -
ute."
To the astonishment of the walttig
clerk, she tore the telegram into small
pieces. "I've changed my mind." And
she strode across the room to the
lunch counter.
"Is that job flled i" pointing eager
ly to a sign, "Waitress Wanted," be
tore the cashier's window.
The woman looked up, took In at a
single glance every detail in the ap
pearance of the slim, aristocratic-look
ing girl standing before her. "No'm,
it ain't."
"I want It."
"Joe, Joe," called the woman In a
high, nasal voice. "This gal wants
yet job. She don't look like much, but
mebbe she'll be better'n nothing."
Before Dorothy was aware of what
had happened, she was behind the
counter, serving the hungry hordes
who had ridden with her to St. Ml
chael and who were clamoring deafen
ingly for eggs, sandwiches, custard pie
and coffee as if they hadn't consumed
basketfuls of food in the preceding
three hours.
St. Michael was an ugly, sprawling
settlement of about twenty trame
houses-dirty, weather-beaten, deso
late.
One week rolled by, two. In two
more weeks Dorothy would have saved
enough to get home.
She had just lifted a huge, steaming
kettle of soup to the table In her cor
ner of the counter when the Burling
ton train roared in. Hardly had its
brakes brought It to a standstill when
a throng of men burst through the
doors. The women and children al
ways straggled in and tried to push
through the men three-deep at the
counter. As she reached for a cup, a
familiar voice rang out, "Dorothy." A
tall young man was pushing toward
the counter.
"I think you are mistaken, sir."
"Dorothy I"
"Move on there, young tellow. Yea
can't be annoying my girls. Move em."
"But-"
"Move on, didn't I tell yout" It wa

"Oh, Dick"-then her voice broke.
"No, no, Joe; he knows me; it's all

Before she knew bow It all hap
pened Dorothy was In Dick's arms,
sobbing fitfully.
"But why did you do it, dear?

been nearly trantic."
"I almost telegrapbhed dad. I wasr

And then I saw the sign, 'Waltress
