The Dream
Child
By A. H. Gunter
(Copyrtsht, 1912, by Associated Literary
Presa.)
There was a streak of paint on
Alice's nose, which made her (eel
gtrangely cross-eyed, her hair had fall
en about her shoulders, and her back
was aching. David's letter lay un
opened in her lap, and that was queer,
for David was 111 at an out-of-town
sanitarium, and a girl is supposed to
take some Interest in her fiance's
health. But Alice believed in art for
art's sake, and David could wait. To
morrow the entries would begin tor
the Worton art exhibit and she must
put the finishing touches to her pic
ture.
The room was bare and ugly, since
art for art's sake is not always profit
able, but now that the huge canvas
was there, to enfltr was like coming
from the filth and din of the streets
Into still midsummer woods, into
haunted forest. Beneath a moss-hung
oak, knee-deep In a tangle of bracken
and fern, stood a little girl, with wide
eyes and expectant face. She was
looking for the fairies, that child, and
she would surely find them, for she
knew that fairies really lived. You
felt that they would peep out at her
the moment your back was turned.
Henry~ Blaine, the portrait painter,
tried to catch them at it by turning
away ever so carelessly and then
whirling suddenly back. They were
not to be tricked by a grown-up like
that they whisked out of sight In a
second, but Blaine declared that he
could see the grasses quiver. He
shook his finger at the little dream
rliild. "I caught them, didn't I?" he
asked, but she would not tell on the
fairies, not she.
livery student In the building prais
ed it, and they were frank and unspar
ing critics. Even Billy Goldsby held
his glib tongue for fully five minutes
when he saw the picture. Billy had
been raised on the Btreets of New
York, and he had never had a child
hood, nor wanted1 one, but for five
minutes he felt with vague resent
ment, that, as he himself put it, he
had been "done out of something."
Goldsby represented a large adver
tising firm, and he was always hang
ing around the studios in search of
novelties. Being entirely commonplace
himself, he had a wonderful faculty
for choosing pictures that would ap
peal to the average person, and
though he could not have explained
that in this painticg Alice had en
snared the universal heart of child"
hood, he did know that the Dream
Child would attract attention any
where.
"Say, Miss Wade," he announced,
approvingly, "the kid's a regular hold
up. The blind man couldn't pass her
without looking back. I'll give you
$300 down for the picture."
Alice continued to slap on the paint
with loving strokes. "Sell the Dream
Child?" she repeated in horror. "Why,
I wouldn't Bell her for anything in the
world. She's my life, my heart, my
soul."
When he was gone she climbed
down and surveyod her picture con
tentedly. It was good work, and she
knew it, and hoped that it would take
the Daneleigh medal. That high goal
of artistlo ambitions was awarded ev
ery five years, and Alice had set her
heart on winning it. She had been
savagely selfish for her art, she knew,
had saciificed everything to it and at
last it seemed about to reward her.
David Arden was one of the things
that she had sacrificed, and now slu
opened his letter absently. It was
cheerful throughout, for sickness
could not cloud David's brave spirit,
but toward the end there was a para
graph that startled her: "I am get
ting well rapidly here," he wrote, "but
don't know whether I can stay. This
place eats up money like a taxicab.
But don't worry, little girl, for I'll soon
be on my feet."
Alice read that paragraph over and
over again, with growing anxiety.
Dav|l had been a successful illustra
tor, and it had not occurred to her
that he could be in want, yet the long
illness must have cost him a great
deal of money. If he was improving,
of course David must stay where he
was, but when she tried to think
where the money was to come from,
Alice grew panicky. Her own re
sources had dwindled most painfully,
while she was working on the Dream
Child. She looked about her room for
something to pawn or sell, but it was
practically bare. There was nothing
of any value in it, except the picture
of the little girl—the Dream Child.
Goldsby had said that he would give
her $300 for the Dream Child.
Alice covered her face with her
hands and tried to fight off that hor
rible thought. She could not, would
not sell the Dream Child. It would be
more than the ruin of her ambitions.
It would be like selling part of her
own soul. She had planned the pic
ture in her early girlhood it was wov
en of the long, long thoughts of youth,
embodied the sweetest memories of
her childhood. And all the time she
realized with sickening clearness that
there was no other way to get the
money.
Very slowly and miserably she put
on her coat. If she delayed, Goldsby
might change his mind. With face
averted, for she could not meet the in
nocent eyea of the Dream Child, she
walked over to the canvas, and took it
from the easel. Soberly, as If It were
a sacrament, she laid one kiss on the
llUle girl's «oft hair, then hunted over

David Would hot take the Jnoa4j
from her, she knew, but ha bad i
queer old cousin, Baxter Arden, who
worked for a meager pittance in a
downtown office. Alice had alwayt
liked this shy, crumpled little man,
I and she was sure that she could per
suade him to send the money to Darid
in
hlB
name. She would tell him it
was a loan, which David would not
i let her repay.
At Baxter's lodgings, however, stu
was disappointed. Mr. Arden was
out of town and the landlady did not
know when he would return. There
was nothing to do but wait, so Alice
spent three miserable days with
Goldsby's check burning in her purse
like blood money. She could not beai
the emptiness of her room she wan
dered In the parks all day, and at
night kept up her courage writing
love letters to David.
David was not allowed to wriU
often, but the third day she received
an answer from him, a letter full ol
frank adoration. He had been receiv
ing five or six love letters a day from
a sweetheart who was usually rathei
neglectful, and he was fairly maudlin
with Joy. For pages he raved, but at
the very end of the letter he gave im
portant news. Old Baxter Arden wai
there on a visit. "And he's pathetic
ally proud of my work," wrote David,
"cuts out all my illustrations and
saves them. You ought to hear him
speak of 'my cousin, the famous illus
trator.' And here's the wonderful
thing, Alice, the old man has saved
up quite a small fortune by the sim
ple method of never spending any
thing, and he offers to lend me all 1
need. I'm to stay on here, and the
doctors tell me 111 be well before
many weeks. So get your wedding
dress made, for when I do get np you
can't put me off again."
Then David did not need the money!
Alice saw that at a glance. She sprang
up and ran dizzily, wildly, for her hat.
It was not too late to compete for the
Daneleigh medal, she would give
Goldsby back his check, she would
snatch her little dream girl from the
polluting gaze of the vulgar herd that
filled his office and carry her to the
lofty atmosphere of the Worton gal
leries.
She hurried through the streets, so
Intoxicated with her new happiness
that she was quite unconscious of the
attention her breathless haste attract
ed. Near Goldsby's office she was
forced to stop. A sign paster was put
ting up a poster and a crowd bad
gathered efore it. They were shabby,
ordinary people, but they stared at
the picture in dumb admiration. Even
the policeman on the beat was steal
inga peep at it. With a sudden catch
at h?r heart, Alice made her way to
ward the billboard. It was a very
simple picture, yet it seemed as If one
turned from the din and filth
6t
For a long time Alice gazed in si
lence, then she smiled, though there
were tears In her eyes. "You'll never
see the fairies," she whispered to the
(*hild, "but you'll see a great deal ol
life, my little dream girl, and real peo
ple are better than make-believes. As
for me, I'll use the money for a trous
seau. Anybody can try to be an art
ist, but only one woman in the world
can be David Arden's wife."
LOW TONES ARE A SEDATIV|
Fitch the Voice Deep Vyhen Under
Nervous Tension and 8elf-Contref
la Gained.
An excellent sedative for nerreoa
excitement Is found In using the voles
at Its lowest comfortable key. Inune
dlate relief from stuttering Is oftea
obtained by dropping the voice from
Jiigh pitch to a lower tone. Teachera
whose pupils become restless and ufr
ruly as they themselves grow tired
and nervous will find that a low*
pitched, quiet tone will relieve theli
own nervous tension, and prove wo»
derfully quieting to their
pupilB.
This simple expedient la also us*
ful when you are trying to control ot
prevent weeping. There are time*
when a person fears to talk lest he
Treak down and cry, yet must answer a
question or carry on a conversation.
Again, the deep lower tones of the
voice, joined to alow, deep breathing,
come to the rescue, and self-control ii
gained.
In any situation where one must
struggle for self-possession, the low*
pitched voice, with Its Impression ol
poise and self-confidence, ls a wonder
ful aid. Even under ordinary circum
stances the lower register of the speak*
lng voice is richer and more musical,

Dreams as Facta.
We never have a fantasy w subtle
and ethereal but that talent merely,
with, more resolution and faithful per
slstency, after a thousand failures,
might fix and engrave It in distinct
pnd enduring words, and we should
see that our dreams are the solidest
facta that we kaow.—Ttoreaa.
