Let the man who Is not making good in his work dedicate himself to a new sense of allegiance to those with whom and for whom be labors, says the Longview News. Qut of vigorous loyalty to bis fellow workers and his employer will come the spirit of which success Is forged. Let the man whose life seems dull and sordid And a loyalty--a loyalty to his home, perhaps, to his city, to his college, to his church--and life will be transformed for him as the gleam of purpose dispels the clouds of cynicism and mistrust. Out of loyalty to others will come that greater loyalty to' self that transmutes a person into a personality, a slave Into a servant, and a human into a man.

Is it advanced age slipping over us, or is it an actual state of affairs, that makes ns believe that there used to be more bluebirds than there are today? asks the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel. It's good to observe that there are rtlll a good many bluebirds now--but we cant help wishing there were more. Nothing is more beautiful in all thie kingdom of birds than the bluebird, whom John Burroughs described as having the tinge of heaven on bis back and the tinge of earth on his breast. That seems to be the best spiritual description of this blifhe herald of fairer days. Somebody has said that the sight of a bluebird "seems to make you glad for the beauties of eartb and to make you think of a world fairer still." No wonder the bluebird has long served as the eternal and universal symbol of happiness among men. There must be bluebirds in heaven. It wouldn't be heaven without them.

MEW AND FINER MOTOR Ss*"5 Ignition means Power, Speed, Economy g:: 'W,- m -People who already have driven the new Twin-Ignition-motored Nash "400" have instantly realised its superiority in performance to cars with older types of motors.

Has Nash accomplished these remarkable results by building a larger motor -r-one with Ml enormous appetite for gasoline? Or by building a high-compression motor that needs special, high-priced fuels?

Larry Deane had given it to her on her birthday, shortly after their engagement, and she cherished It above all her treasures save the beautiful fluster of diamonds on her finger. Because she was quarreling with Larry, she had wilfully included the bag In her wrath and twisted It mercilessly on the end of its golden cords. "The cord will break and you will lose the bag," cautioned Larry, Olive pondered provoklngly. "There are soipe really precious things in it --my vanity case, my gold pufge, the philopena gift Joe Watterson gave me, one -of his letters, and--" "Isn't that enough ?** glared Larry, for they had been disagreeing about Joe's attentions to Olive. "Enough letters from Joe? Wetfe he is interesting, Larry--so good tempered. One enjoys him, you know." I know one who doesn't enjoy him --although he's a cheerful sort of an idiot." "The cheerful ones are the nicest, just the same," tossed Olive over her shoulder as his little gray roadster turned into the driveway of her father's house. , ' "Hniimmum!" remarked Larry dls^, agreeably. As he helped her out and she resensed her hand, be discovered that she had left the cluster-of-diamond ring in his palm. He grew white and stared at her. "You meap that, OlivM^ "Of course." "Why?" "You do not trust me--you are Jealous." •> "I am sorry you believe that--I said nothing until you criticized my ^dancing with Ella--well, what does it matter? If you really cared, you could not play with happiness in this way Good-by," he said and jumping into the little gray car, which bad been their companion on so many joyful occasions, and which had been the scene of their betrothal, Larry drove madly down the drive. On the veranda Olive was crying. When her mother Inquired why she wept, Olive confessed that she bad lost her beautiful brocade bag. < "How careless," chided Mrs. Dare.? "Perhaps it is in the car, dear. Shalt' 1 t£lepl)QD3 to terry?" "No--bfr--please do not! I hav< given Larry, back his ring--and--I ne-ver want any of them back again," announced Miss Dare in a wavering* voice. - - - "You have lost something very precious," remarked her mother sadly. "The bag didn't have much in it-* just a bread-and-butter note from Jo* Watterson and a few other things. "I did not mean the bag--I mount* tarry," was Mrs. Dare's quiet "Some bird!" ejaculated Larry, as the little gray car poked along through pleasant bywaj? on the road homel s Was fixed on a Lit of brll liant blue-green perched in a shade| bush beside the road. The sun caught! the sheen of gold and tossed back tber brilliance on a peacock's plumage. "Olive's bag!" be ejaculated, recognizing it with a pang, and the littl*-|» gray car stopped abruptly. Larry took the bag from Its perch and stutl* led the gorgeous peacocks woven into the fabric. The golden cord that served as a handle was liAjken. Olive had unwittingly swung w bag once toa often and lost It. Perhaps she had done It intentionally, but he dashed suspicion aside. Jealousy came to take its place. Khe had said Joe Watterson's letter was there--ruthlessly he pulled the bag open and looked; the golden purser the foolish pencil Joe had given her-- it looked like a stick of peppermint candy--some letters which he recog. nised as his own--and one penciled scrawl which might be Joe's. Suddenly. he did not care about Joe. Hliaown letters made the bag precious to her--naughtly little thing. He must Hear with herl He had not touched the contents of the bag. and now he dropped the epgftp«*inei!t ring inside Just then he heard footsteps, hurrying. Larry hung the b|g on the shade bush and forced theSktle car to a bend in the road and peec$d through the underbrush. r ; ^ ; It was Olive. ^ v- She was hatless and quite pink vrfw running. There were traces of tears on her soft cheeks and her lips were very pathetic. When she saw the brocade bag she uttered a soft cry of pleasure, and snatching it from the bush, hugged It to her lips. "You dear, dtar thing!" she fobbed, "yon are all that I have left--* That Is what she really said, for Larry had stolen upon her and heard her just in time to hold her very tightly In his strong arms. "Is it too late for happiness, dear!" he asked the repentant girl. "Not--if you can forgive my folly** she whispered. "Then--let us say it wHl never happen again--and the ring Is In the bag--" At last when they were seated tn the car and Larry bad started it, Olive turned swiftly. "What was that sound?" . Larry said be didn't know, bat t think he suspected It was. a quiet chuckle from the sympathetic little When a spacuiator deals oe margins the holder of the stock has the edge on blm.
