The Turquoise

By JESSIE DOUGLAS

ing, In* >.iid "i *i ni::g and
parsed < i; i I .\\ n the stairs. That wns
what he a!\ia.\s ? 1 i I. pa>s ?
Nellie shook her head partly and
said, "We'll see I" lint t Ii*> strange
part <?f it was 1 1 1?* man <>n tin* tl? ?? >r be
low continued t<> speak when !??? saw
her, and continued to pass her by.
It was puzzling. She was the pret
tiest uirl that worked in Johnson &
Hughes' ot'lees. And she know it.
Almost without exception every clerk
Ii:i ? I made some kind of advance to her.
She eouM co out every night if she
chose. mid even oh! Mr. Johnson him
self had given her theater tickets.
The girls in t!ie otliee envied her in
their tpilet way. She liad the palest,
tlutliest hair, and she "did" it in the
most elaborate style, so that any one
would have stopped to admire its in.
trieaeles alone. She routed, of course.
Perhaps a little too inueh, but habit
dulls perception. Her light blue eyes
were the .color of forget-me-nots, ner
hi>hes cold-tipped, but Nellie l>wight
saw that they came out Jetty black.
Her lips were pretty and soft, if
slightly aided by art. She was pretty,
startling!)- pretty, and she would have
been a foolish virgin If she had not
known It. There was never the slight
est doubt In Nellie's mind about her
charm, and she played up to It every
second of her life. Her blouses were
the most elaborate, her stockings the
sheerest she could buy.
So It was no wonder that she lifted
one plucked eyebrow a trltle and eyed
askance the girl who had Just knocked
at her bedroom door.
According to Nellte's standards, she
was worm* than plain, a regular old
iual<l. not a hit of makeup, and her
blouse, of irreproachable cut. was
opaque. Her hair, it was true, had a
beautiful luster, but it was arranged
so simply tluit anyone could have done
it ? if she had time and patience.
"I beg your pardon," the girl at the
door said, "I realize it's rather queer
.of me. but my brother and I have seen
you so often tin the stairs that I almost
feel 1 know you! I'm going away for
two weeks and I'd be grateful if you'd
keep this picture for tne."
She held out :i picture in a turquoise
frame and Nellie, without looking at
it. laid it on her bureau and answered,
"<;i;id to. I'm sure ? " and then con
tinued to rouge her other cheek with
the greatest nonchalance.
Nellie did not really bother to look
at the picture until she came in from
the movies that night. She saw that
it was a ] "holograph of a low stone
house, ivy-girdled, with a charming
view of garden and woodland behind,
and she guessed shrewdly that it was]
the girl's home. The little frame of
oddly cut tlat turquoise was fascinat
ing in itself; ami then she realized
with :i shock the girl had said. "Her
Brother." Why. that must mean the)
man on t he stairs !
Nellie put the frame in the center of
her bureau and eyed It with fresh in
terest. But something was the matter.
It didn't seem somehow to go with her
bright pink bureau set nor with the
artiticl.nl geranium that she had stuck
j In her hatpin holder.
Slowly she removed the geranium
' and still studied the effect. Some
I thing was still wrong.
| She had decided to buy herself one
i of those new green hnir ornaments,
| but that noon she found herself in
stead at the toilet goods' counter. That
; ivory set would go well with the tur
quoise frame ? she hesitated and then
plunged ? and she found herself wait
ing for the five o'clock whistle.
It did go well! Somehow the tur
quoise frame seemed to rest against
that creamy background, and Nellie,
eyeing the bureau critcally. realized
that something still was the matter.
The imitation lace cover, with the
pink sateen uuderbody, struck a wrong!
note. j
It was queer what hap|>cned In tlu1
next week; tlrst Nellie had to get a
linen cover to suit her bureau, instead
of the gret'n slipper buckles she ha?l
1 1 counting on. Then he'r keen eye
saw the bureau stood out like an i
Island in her tawdry room. The pic
tures on the wall somehow did not
tit: that calendar with the black-eyed 1
cherub that advertised .John and
Hughes, the chrotno of roses and Irti
sh's that was so gaily colored, secmec i
to hurt the quiet bureau. She took
down hoc pictures. Hut now the room j
was too quiet.
Atx>tln>r fi?>< >fi found her purchasing
cli I fit x wit !i i lit pink blossoms on a
cream ground, and when she had made
ii curtain for her window and some
cushions for her coach, even a buck
for tier wicker chair, slit* glnnced hur
riedly over at the turquoise frame.
The riuht keynote hud been struck.
Now It h>oked as though it belonjjci*
there.
Slip gave a pleased sigh vif self
satisfaction and went over to the
bureau to look In at Iter pretty face.
She could see reflected as well, her
soft gray walls with its pay back. Star
ing stil! at herself it almost seemed
as though she did not belong ? a*
though? she continued to look in at
her surprised, pretty face with the
too-pinlt cheeks.
What was t4ie matter with herself'
Wasn't she Just as pretty a*. she had
always been ? she looked long and re
sentfully about her; something was
i ???!*!? ?r the matter with the room or
wP It her; un<l il couldn't be with her.
1 Su l-lonly sh*' saw It. She ? 1 1 < 1 no? Ne

!\ at:. I pa instakingiy ?.)!?? t???>k out the !
f 'lt y -three hnir pins that were i?.?. j
; sary to her hair dress and 1 1 1 to ?
put it up very simply very smoothly
above lier white forehead.
"What a futiny sight you are!" she j
sail making a queer little move.
She dashed a glance at tin* tur- ,
frame and knew that now she i
coiil.l walk down those stone s?? ; ?**. i
out into the hedged garden as though i
! she belonged there. She put on the t
flimsiest of her l.iee Mouses, atul the
highest of her French-heeled slippers
mnl looked defiantly at herself.
I "If you do it nt all. you've sot to
do the whole thins!" she pouted.
She came hack an hour later with a
white package crushed under her arm:
and when she had arrayed herself in
the simple heavy silk blouse of tailored
cut she knew she was a changed ht*- 1
lug. S!u> couldn't with this particular
hlousc and with these sensible oxfords
with their low heels be quite as pert. {
or as tly away as he had always
been.
"There's only one thing to do/' :
Nellie said savagely, "get rid of that i
turquols<? frame! Then 1 can chuck !
I all these clothes ? "
On the fourth lauding she met again
the young man who always passed (
her by.
"I've Just brought back your sister's
frame." she said breathlessly. "I I
thought you might keep It for her. I
thought ? "
The young man eyed her with sur
prise. this sweet, fresh looking girl
with her smooth, pale cheeks and her
charming clothes; he wondered why he
had never noticed her before.
"I'm sorry, bat I don't own the
frame, and I haven't any sister," he
apologized ; and then, as he saw her
eyes widen with dismay, he added,
"but I wish you would do something
for uie. I'm the loneliest duffer in
New York, and If you'd let me talk
to you now and then ? "
"But why ? " Nellie began.
"Oh. yes ; I've seen plenty of girls !
with their make-up and theh- arti
ficiality, but no one that I've wanted j
to know until ? "
Nellie Pwight crushed the turquoise I
frame against her heart j?s she re- j
treated down the hall. "1 ? I should J
like to talk to you now and then,"
she said softly.
When her own door was closed firm
ly and she had enshrined the turquoise j
frame once more on her bureau she
threw it an airy kiss. "You've brought i
nie good luck, anyhow," she whispered.
"Funny what a little thing will do."
FAMOUS THORN OF CURAY
Marked Grave of Brave Swedish Sol
dier Who Lost His Life in
Thirty Years' War.
Kveryone has heard of the Cilaston
btiry thorn, which blooms at Christ
mas and was thought to have been
planted by the lirst preachers of
Christianity in Britain. in the year 31
A. I>. There is. or was until recently
another famous thorn tree at Curay,
near the old fort i lied town of Zell in
Germany. A brave Swede was cap
tured dtiring the Thirty Years' war
and ordered to be killed since prison
ers were not needed. He begged to
be allowed to write a letter to his
parents, and tore a thorn from an
acacia or locust hush for a pen.
pricked a vein to get blood for ink.
and on a bit of his linen shirt wrote
his mother: "In this life we meet no
more, llope for smother." Then he
v.-as murdered. I\yt his letter went
to Sweden, and some years later his
father and mother came and identi
fied tho spot by the thorn hush, and
built a little church there in memory
of their gallant lnd. The church fell
to ruin years ago. but the hush grew
Info a tine tree and was still there,
the finest of its kind, until a little
while ago it was cut down for its
lumber value. Then it was found to
be so old that its wood was rotten
and useless.
Indian Ponies of Far West.
The <rriirin;il Indian ponies were de
scendants from horses escaped from
the curliest Spanish explorers titnl j
conquistadores. ami those horses were
descended in Spain from old M?>rish
stock which had Its oriirin in Arabia.
The animals were eomparatively small,
hut possessed Ihe Arab's unwearying
energy and great carrying ability. It
was that stoek that hceam/ the Indian
pony of the lands west <>f the .Missis
sippi. the wild horse of the Far West,
the smaller caynse of the Oregon and
Washington country. Naturally it de
generated in appearance through lack
of special selection In the sires, but It
retained its stamina and small feet to
a remarkable degree.
Memories of the Old Days.
It Is an exquisite and a beautiful I

heart is touched and softened by some
tranquil happiness or affectionate
feeling, the memory of the dead coined
over it most powerfully and irresist
ibly. It would almost seem ;is though
our better thoughts and sympathies
were charms, in virtue of which the
soul is enabled to hold some vague '
and mysterious intercourse with the
spirits of those whom we dearly loved
in life. Alas! llow often si n-1 how
long may those patient angels hover

A Kind With.
When .lean went t<> her little neigh
bor's to visit she often talked to the
grandmother of the house. "I have a
grandmother. too." she would say. j
"but sh.-'s in heaven."
And stu> and tin' grandmother of the j
house were good friends until one day
the grandmother was cross. She j
si -Med the two little girls for leaving
the sereen door open. for walking
a flower bed am! dropping crumbs or.
the floor.
The two youngsters sought refuge '
on the porch. (Srandtnotlier started
to follow them there a little later, to
try to make up. She realized the
necessity of doing so. for when she
reached the door she heard Jean say.

A Field for Profitable Operation.
In the northern part of Texas one
can ride overland for six days without !
ever being out of sight of the eandel
illa plant ? a weed from which a very '
high grade wax is made. Huge for- j
tunes await the men who will develop
the Industry of wax making. As yet
only six factories an' working. The
candclllht plant grows from one to
three feet high, and as many as
stems come from the same root. It
flourishes in the poorest soil, and re
produces itself annually. The cost of
labor is low. and the supply of ma
terial incredibly vast. The wax is
made by boiling and steaming the
weed. The crude wax is retined and
used in making candles, phonograph
records, polishes, varnishes and even
linoleum. And from the fibrous waste
a good quality of paper is turned out.
WHO helps the

home a safer, happier
place to live in ?

"Who spends years in
