THE SPIRIT THAT COUNTS
The prospect of Christmas
was rather drear for the depos-
itors of the Arkansas Valley
Bank of Fort Smith, Ark.' Last
spring one of its directors
robbed the institution of $112,-
400, and to top it all off just
last week another embezzle- .
ment of $30,000 was discov-
ered. The bank faced the
prospect of a run on the bank
on Christmas eve.
But for this, as well as for
many another Christmas crisis,
there was a here. John C.
Gardner, president of the Ark-
ansas Valley Trust company,
was the man. Last Wednesday
. night, after fellow bankers of
Fort Smith had declared they
would not absorb the assets and
liabilities of the failing bank
for the $70,000 guarantee sub-
1 acribed by its directors, Gard-
ner called in the business men
of the town.
It waa up to them, he told
them, to guarantee a sufficient
amount to insure the absorbing
banks against any loss exceed-
ing $25,000.
Bitterly opposing factions
met on common ground. Old
quarrels, ancient and bitter
business rivalaries were forgot-
ten. A helping hand was ex-
tended to the unfortunate
bank. Doctors, lawyers, mer-
chants and chiefs guaranteed
#48,000.
The other banks in the town
absorbed the failing institution.
The smallest depositor's mite
waa protected. It was Christ-
mas eve, but the spirit shown
is something uncommon.

W HAT HAS GONE BEFORE
To the home of PROF and MOL-
LIE ELW ELL la Cimdenville, Ind.,
one night in October, 1898, comes
MARTHA DALTON, a nurse, bearing
a woman who had fainted on a
train.
Elwell is an artist. He bra a son.
JIM, aged 5. Late that night the
woman bears twin girls and dies
without revealing her name.
The story then moves forward 18
years. The twins, now growing to
beautiful womanhood, have been
adopted and nomed MARGARET and
ELIZABETH. They have been nick-
named RUSTY AND BETTY.
Jim Elwell enlists in the World
War. Rs then discovers one of the
twins is ia love with him.
Put in charge of % machine gun
unit, he is shell-shocked and,
through a mix-up, is registered as
JOHN POWELL. He is removed to
an American hospital and reported
dead. The family gets the news of
his death and la heart-broken.
It then is discovered that the
father of the twins la dead and that
they are the nieces of the wealthy
JOHN CLAYTON of Indianapolis.
They all go to the Clayton home,
where, after a short stay, a party is
given in honor of the twine and

to worry about their manners. The joke’s

possible exception of Freddie Lawrence,
1 everyone here owes the young lady a
debt of gratitude for entertaining them."

Mollie Elwell’s first peep under the
i shell of the "smart set” she had heard
so much about was something of a dis-
appointment to her. She had thought to
have her ears regaled with epigrams of
sparkling wit, scintillating repartee and
disquisitions on art, literature and mu-
sic. Instead she heard a continuous
flow of spicy scandal and a line of slang
that would have made Jim at his best
seem like a church deacon.
Also she had overheard a flapper of 14
summers demand to know of a young
I man, without any attempt whatever to
make her question secretive, whether he
had anything on hia hip.
And upon being told by the young mar
that he waa sorry to report that nothing
was doing, she lad turned up her nose
in disgust.
The night after the party for the twins
John Clayton brought up the subject.
"I shouldn’t wonder,” he said, "if your
mild little touch of high life last night
would last yo. for some time. Still, I
noticed that you seemed to get some en-
joyment out of the party. You were
smiling most of the time."
NOW BEGIN THE STORY
CHAPTER XIII.
Betty’s hand suddenly had slipped up
and pushed Freddie Lawrence’s face
away.
It was not a gentle push. Into it she
had packed a good deal of the muscular
power of her strong little body, and
Freddie’s face went back with violence.
“Pardon me, Mr. Lawrence," she said
sweetly, "but this is where the action-
stops,” and she slipped away and out of
his hands.
“Haw! Haw!" The youth named Phil-
lips was guffawing heartily, and sudden-
ly seised with inspiration he started a
salve of handelapping.
John Clayton smiled broadly. “That
was the best I’ve seen in a long time,"
he confided to Prof and Mollie. “Fred-
die’s little game didn’t work that time.”
Freddie was rubbing his nose. It was
a tender nose and it had been rudely
treated by Betty. It began to grow red,
and it looked as if ft was getting ready
to swell.
"Oh,” answered Mollie, smiling still. "I
was rather interested— in a way. And 1
had to look cheerful, you know, whether
I felt that way or not."
Prof, sitting close at hand and con-
tentedly smoking one of John Clayton’s
50-cont cigars, couldn’t let that one go
by. He had to sink a harpoon into It.
“At that, John,” he remarked, calling
the girls’ uncle by his first name for the
first time, “anyone can smile and keep
on smiling and still not get red in the
face about it. Wasn’t it the well known
Cheshire cat that tried to look cheerful
and even grinned at the antics of the
king’s fool?" _ _
John Clayton laughed. Tie liked Prof’s
quaint way. “Your comparison is not
-badly chosen,” he made reply, “and the
Cheshire cat, I dare say, Prof. was a wise
old cat that knew reect cream from
curdled milk. And even so, you’ll re-
member that the king’s fool was just an
actor on the stage of his day. He played
his little part, as we all play our own
little parts, in the comedy of life. Court
customs of that day called for a king
to employ a clown with cap and bells.
Like the hard-worked business man of
today, the king required a little diver-
sion at times. All work and no fun
One of the girls sympathetically of-
fered her powder puff. Freddie, although
it was plain to be seen that his ego had
suffered a terrible wallop, moved over
to Betty and very graciously congratu- produce a jaded appetite for play.
Isted her on having bested him at his
makes of life a dull thing, just as all
fun and no work seldom fall in time to

Dec. 1—Ontario defeated its dry law at the polls by
a tremendous majority after ten-year trial of prohibe
to the appetite for richer foods.
“A proper balance, that is the thing—
a happy medium. Grandfather’s clock
ran true for ninety years against the
srall because its tick was regulated by
a properly balanced pendulum. So it is
in the social life of today I hope you
won’t think I’m lecturing, but I think
there are certain things about life today
that roll for complaint and criticism.
Not all of societi, by any means—I don’t
mean society in the broad souse but the
society of the Sunday papers—either la
this city or elsewhere, is made up of
vain and frivilous women and brainless
men, like Freddie Lawrence, for in-
staaee. The people yea saw last night
constitute just the froth, the air-filled
bubbles in the brew of society that rise
to the top like the froth on beer. Bat
you and I like ear beer at times and we
like to see the froth because it is a part
of the whole, and yet we blow it away
or drink it when we drink one beer.”
Prof nodded slowly. “You’re right.
And the girls—they must see life in its
various aspects in order to get a sense
of proper values.”

more than twenty-four years God had
given them a joy and happiness that
only a few are given. .“Into all lives,
you know, Mollie, some grief must come;
some days must be dark and’ dreary.
Sometime, somewhere, perhaps, we’ll
meet up with Jim again. Then, my dear,
these days will be forgotten. So brace
up, ald comrade, and keep a stiff upper
lip. You are still my Mollie girl, and
life still holds much for us.”
He spoke, however, with a cheerful-
aces he was far from feeling. Hr was
telling himself that neither he nor Mol-
lie would ever be able to lift up their
hearts again la the old time happiness.
But Dame Destiny, in her little game
with the Elwell family, was distributing
her pawns again and in a strange man-
nor. At noon on the following day, Just
fifteen hours after Prof Elwell had fin-
ished telling Mollie the sun would shine
again for them, the dark cloud banning
over the old home broke and the ana’s
bright gleam streamed through its rifts.
And a grand eld ran it was. Prof was
perched by the dining room window
when the messenger boy knocked at the
front door, and through eyes that
danced fantastically he read the news
that his son, Jim Elwell, was still alive.
(To Be Continued.)
Jim to alive, but Prof and Mollie do
not know that Ma to a living death.
Mollie laughed. She was worrying,
she said, about Freddie Lawrence’s nose.
“You see,” she explained at Clayton’s
laugh, “you don’t understand the train-
ing those girls have had. You never
heard. J suppose, about the time that
Rusty laid out the prizefighter with a
croquet ball.”
Clayton hadn’t. “I’d have given a
thousand dollars to see it. Tell me.” Sheriff Oscar Carlson, of Shawnee Coun-
Mollie did, and her voice grew very soft
when she mentioned Jim- -gay-hearted,
laughing Jim, who lay somewhere in a
grave in France. . . .

work Prof had contracted for. They left,

week-end.
They returned to the home where Jim
and the girls had been born with heavy
hearts, bowed down with a new loneli- *
ness. The mantle of sorrow that seemed
to hand over the place was doubly op-
pressive: now that the girls no longer
were with them. Every choir, every arti-
cle of furniture seemed to bring back
poignant memories of the days when the
voices of Jim and his pals had rung
through the house.
The evening was even worse. Both,
with their chairs drawn close *• each

room for an hour, trying to read. It was
a dismal failure. Depression clutched
at their hearts with a hand like ice, and
