"Where's Maid©?" • complained Joe
Wilks. wntehhiK a f-nrpenter nail on
.the eye of a gigantic dragon. ‘The
prime looks like n rainy day without
her."
“Yes. don’t It,” agreed John. “She's
a most fascinating child!"
“Child 1“ objected Joe. “She’s eight-
een. She was Introduced into society
last winter. She’ll probably be mar-
ried this yesr."
That was true! She was eighteen 1
Kh« was, after all. a woman I John
Ames went ubout hls work meclianicnl-

and yellow unicorns, and red devils
nil around the park, hut John Ames
'saw nothing hut blue!
“Hello, John," cooed n soft little
voice.
He Jumped as If he Imd been struck
and turning, looked deep Into the eyes ’ hand, mingled with the ©mile x tune
which had haunted him all day. He
efa*p<*d her hand, and knew the soft,
warm tingle of It, and In that moiirnt,
be believed that hls search was over.
Chapter VI.
It was Children’s day nt Playground
perk, formerly Joe Wilks’. That para-
dise of pleasure was to he formally
opened on the following day, which
was Saturday, but. on this occasion
there wus to he no money taken at the
gate

1-emper’s famous bund entne swinging
down the re-named Pleasure avenue to
the Playground park, followed by an
elephant and two euinets and u cor-
don of police, and the contents of th*
orphans' home, and the rlf- -hools
by swarms, platoons, uud streams, ami
the newsboys with their own hand
and then Just children, miles of them
It} this token, the town knew that
Playground park hud come Into ex
tateix©. und. If there was a child In
that pro<esslon who did nol acquire
the stomachache and have Its spinal
column Jolted painfully, that child was
to blame.
(everything was free, rides, shows,
even to i he popcorn and lemonade and
pc nits, everything!
Mulr.le Houston sat In the little prl-
va c balcony of the new cafe, with her
father and John Ames, and nt one
period, around noon, she remained per
fcctly quiet for ii minute and a quar-
ter; then she was fairly uetlvu.
They started In by doelnrlng that
■he mast, under tin circumstances, go
down into the Jostling grounds on this
packed occasion ; hut, before g o'clock
>iii the after........ Uiejr were lighting
'limes for her, through mid through the
;ni*sr. What to hlin had been piquant
childish luney of yesterday, was th©
woman's Imperious whim of today and
he obeyed the woman even more
promptly than hP hud the child. Hu
knew, at last, why lie had been so In-
terested in remodeling Wilks Park.
Those round, blue eyes had held him
there I
Chapter VII,
Opening day! Joe Wilks stood at
tUi* gate, shrouded In gloom, curly In
‘.the morning.
“If they wouldn't come In when the
gate was free, how do you expect
them to pay ten cents?" he worried.
“I don't expect those people hut
once," said John Ames grimly, and lie
locked bnek »«• where hls “special
policemen." all lumpy men, were
waiting Impatiently for their guests.
A women, with two children and ii
lunch hu»kef, alighted from the afreet
» cur walked calmly up to the gate,
pnM ten cents for herself and U”u
©cuts each for the children. Joe Wilks
looked at her mid shook hls head. Two
woman with a child apiece came on
i Urn next car. They paid their way In,
and wandered ubout dolefully, looking
at the painted “front*" and Hie yellow
lake anu waiting f r the music. Two
nm came by nod brought no one;
then r. car came with neven.
T.eiu[>ei''i hand came cut, with gay
mush' Imt they brought a scant party
uf cuatomans behind them.
“Never mind, It's too early In the
tiny," soothed A me#, who was partic-
ularly lonely, It had been decided
that a golden-haired woman, with per-
fectly round, blue eye*, would he bet-
ter off at homo on thla occaalon. "Isn't

to a elmlr In the presence of half a
dozen other spoof 1 -fllcriv with clubs.
It was not Intended that Muirgsy

Towards evenin'; the chief of poll e
canto hack to the bnrn-liV© -tin ctiii'c
to Inspect this high handed outrage,
and looked them over, and chuck'ed
and went hwhv.
The grounds hy this time were a
sea of bobbing heads and a babble of
laughing voices. The Mare of the
of the new romnac I and the squeak
of horns, and tl © ©lotler of hells. Had
the toot of whistles, and the. whang
of clappers, nnd the walling of
youngsters, nnd the cries of the “bark-
ers." nnd ihe rush of the roller coast-
ers, und nil other discord* which Ihe
spirit of carnival evoked, formed a
harmony celestial to Joe Wilks' ears.
“You win, John!” he exultantly
cried, for the 20th time since 8 o’clock.
“You win In a walk, old pal! Hou-
ston's money Is safe!" He paused, still
sitting over the gatp, and "picking
them out," to watch >>iu* of the lumpy
“special*" dart Into n crowd, procure
a young man who was “fresh," and
give him n warning with murder he-
hlnd It. “M ulde ought !» hnv ■ been
out today. Ain't no touglun s» here."
“You’ll he successful as long as you
handle It this way," promised Ames
with a smile.
It was absurd to have kept Mnlr.lt-
away, hut both her father and lie felt
so responsible for the child. She was
but a child, after nib No, she wan a
woman, with nil n woman's rlmrm.
und all a woman's soul, and all a worn*
nn'ft capacity for Joy nnd sorrow', She
was there alone today, except for her
adoring aunt alone; at home, unhappy,
hearing In silence the disappointment
they had forced on her aguinst her
earnest protest. Her round, blue eyes
haunted him, and their reproach was
even more poignant when Peter
Houston walked delightedly tip to him
Houston's eyes were nothing like Muir
le'», hut they were u piece of the aeme
color,
"Stroke of genius, Jt in I" he <x
claimed. “When we get hmugh with
this, I want to tulk t \ you about
other matters, In which i’d like to
hand you an interest,"
“Plenty of time for that," lnughdd
Arnes. "This looks pretty good Just
now. Joe Wilks Is happy as a king
fie tells me he's going to get u frock
coat and look the part."
“Joe has n right to lie happy," en-
thusiastically returned Houston. "We
all have. Why, John, njy hoy. do you
know that vou and I have options on
two hundred thousand dollars' worth
of property surrounding l'luygronud
park, and that It will double hi value
within the next two years?"
“I shouldn't wonder," calculated
Ames. "How much would you give
roe for tny share tonight?"
"Thirty thousand," promptly esti-
mated Houston. "I'd give you ill) ml
dltlonnl live thousand for your con-
tract with Joe Wilks, I'd make mono"
mil of It; hut I'd he taking the gaui
' Me."
"I don’t think I'll close with you
Just now," laughed Ames, and went
out of the MiwtikJng place for quiet.
Hi' lumped en « street cur, headed
; for the Houston home I
Chapter VIII.
John slipped up through the shrub-
bery of the Houston grounds, lie
lint) seen the golden head of Mnlrdc
on the screened ©ml of the veranda,
and he wanted to eurprlee her.
She waa silting quietly hy herself,
crooning » cradle song, la that dell
clously dute-llke voice, nnd busied
earnestly with something In hAr lap.
It was n golden Imlred doll, nnd she
waa curling Its burnished tresses, so
like her own.
John Ames stopped, sobered I Wlmt
phantasy of mind bad been on lilin!
Tie had seen women, and grown
nullum. BlgyUm vUfe dOUl hot not
•lac this; and he suddenly realised
(hut mere number of years no mors
marks the difference between a child
and a woman than It marks the dlf-
erence between a child and n man.
Something like humiliation crept upon
him, thut, at thirty, after having
sought seriously, In all the paths
here women walk, for that one
whom he should know to he hls mnte,
he should fall into this folly, which
attacks every man at least once In
his life; when he mistakes the futher
In Mm for the lover.
It was an Indication of Ms funda-
mentally healthy mind, that presently
he smiled, mid crept stealthily away
and took another street ©nr down
town, nnd plunged Into a toy shop.
Just before closing time, and bought
the biggest and prettiest golden
haired doll lie could Had.
With ilils la Ills anas, and enjoying
the friendly grins of the other passen-
gers In the street enr, lie hurried hack
to the Houston house, and slipped it"
on the Houston porch, nnd held out
the doll before the Hstonlsl ^*>1 nnd
delighted blue eyes of the Hoiiator
Malxle. Her eyes conhl grow no
rounder, but they expanded In all
their heavenly blueness.
"Oh, you darling, John Amos!"
Cried, nnd, elappluj hls cheeks
tween her warm little palms,
kissed him smack on the mouth.
It was that kiss which took all the
Inst vestjge of woman from her, In
John Ames’ thought, and made her n
baby again.
When Peter G Houston entne home
an hour later ho found Malzle and
Ames on the floor, gravely discussing
her family of dolls, w ith the Princess
John hi the sent of honor.
“Weil, that’s a hot oecupnMon for
a commercial genius!" exclaimed Peter
O. Houston, and grunted hls way to
the- floor himself, where Malzle
clapped hls bearded chocks net ween
her warm little pnlms and kissed him
smack In the mouth.
“An ex-commercial genius." rorr -ct■
ed Ames, with n smile. “I think I
shall accept (hnt offer of yours, and
go away tomorrow."

ORIGIN OF UMBRELLA TRACED
Mythical God, Prometheus, Invented It
Ae a Mean* of Hiding From Hit
Enemy Jupiter.
The recent bicentenary celebration
of the Introduction of umbrellas Into
Knglund served as a reminder not
only of the fact that the umbrella
was not of English origin—though Its
universal use there Is proverbial—but
also of Its extreme antiquity.
In "The Birds," u play written In
414 B. C-, during the selge of Syra-
cuse hy Alelblades and Nlslas, In which
the Athenians’ fondness far litigation
end their flighty character are ridi-
culed, Aristophanes reveals the true
inventor of the "oiuhrellu," or sun-
shade, and, therefore, of the umbrella,
Its enlargement. The Inventor was
no other thun Prometheus. He In-
vented the umbrella to conceal him-
self from Jupiter. Ms enemy, and he
said of It: “I shall look like a enne-
phor" (basket hearer, one of the
Athenian middens selected to carry
the ImskPt of sacred utensils In th#
procession of Deineter, BHCehu# and
Athene).—New York Tribune.
Disinfectant#.
Rome of the principal disinfectants
used nowadays ure formaldehyde
(formalin); carbolic acid nnd Its vu-
rlons compounds; permanganate of

sulphuric add Is added; percblor-
