AIMING HIGH.
By A. L. Bean.
Edith was rejoicing to find her sac
red lily in full bloom. Now she could
take it and set it in Mrs. Mott’s win
dow, as she had promised. Mamma
had given her a dainty bowl in which
she had placed her lily, and surround
ed it with small white stones over
Avhich she poured water. Today she
would take it to gladden Mrs. Mott
(who was an invalid) with its pure
white petals and delicate odor. Just
as she turned the corner she met her
friend Helen Gray.
“Come and go with me, Helen. I
am taking my sacred lily to poor
Mrs. Mott.”
“Who? The prosy, complaining
lady that we once visited?”
“No, Helen; it is not the Mrs. Mott
you speak of. It is Paul’s mother.”
“Oh, is it? Then I shall be glad to
go with you.”
Paul was a great favorite with his
schoolmates, especially Edith and
Helen. He was several years their
senior, and had just graduated from
college.
The girls enjoyed their walk, and
chatted merrily along the way. ine
hedges of evergreens that they passed
were illumined by the ruddy rays of
the winter sunshine, but the gardens
were brown and empty of flowers —•
very unlike their hearts which were
tender and full of hope and aspira
tions; and they talked and planned
for the future.
“Edith,” said Helen, “do you re
member Mrs. Clarence’s Three Times
Three? She says there are three
p’s, three s’s, and three f’s, by which
our lives should be governed: Prayer,
purity, and patriotism; self-control
self-respect, and self-possession;
faithfulness, frankness, and flexibil
ity.”
“Yes, very well, dear; and we must
endeavor to govern our lives by them,
for we must strive to reach high and
lofty development.”
They found Mrs. Mott bright and
cheerful, and the lily was gladly re
ceived. She gave the girls blooms of
her callas, which she said bloomed so
luxuriantly because she gave ' them
hot water baths. After talking with
the girls and forming plans for a so
ciety to assist some of the poor child
‘ ren in the neighborhood to obtain
clothing so that they could attend
school, she rang for Luck to take the
girls in the yard where Paul was at
work, for she said this was his last
day of vacation, for Monday he would
commence work in his father’s store.
They found Paul at work with his
birds and fowls and animals. He was
delighted to see them, and showed
them around in his farmyard.
“See those little pigs!” said Helen.
“They seem to be running a race; but
the cow looks so sober.”
“Yes,” said Paul; “I believe all ani
mals play with each other except the
cow. It seems to be too sober to play
with its young.”
“Well, Paul, we hear that you are
going into business for yourself,” said
Helen.
“No, not for myself. I will work
for father. I will begin low, but will
aim high. I expect to make an hon
est effort to rise, and I hope to de
serve success. You know it is said,
‘ ’tis not in mortals to command suc
cess; but we’ll do more —deserve it.’ ”
They walked to the house together
to bid Mrs. Mott good-bye, and they

talked of their school days, and Edith
said it seemed such a short while ago
when the school house burned down
and Paul got so badly burned helping
little Jennie Wing to escape; and he
was so busy bringing the girls’ books
out of the burning building that he
lost all of his own; and we were all
so proud of his brave and noble action
that we gave him a cross for his
watch charm, on which we had en
graved “Fortes fortuna juvat”— ‘ For
tune favors the brave.”
“Yes.” said Paul, “here is the cross,
and I remember Helen said she wish
ed that she were Queen Victoria, so
that she could pin the Victoria Cross
upon my breast. 1 appreciated and
do still appreciate all of the kind
ness and good opinions, but then I
only did my duty.”
Just then they met Bob Riley.
“Come along, Paul,” said Bob, "and
take a sail in my boat.”
“It will be impossible, Bob. There
are many things to be done at home
today, for Monday I begin to work.
“Well, that’s a good one,” said
Bob; "a rich man’s son talking like
you. I don’t expect to work as long
as my father will support me. i\o, I
am in for a good and easy time of
it.”
“I regret, Bob,” said Paul, “that
your views do not coincide with mine.
I hope you will think differently one
of these days.”

and Helen have grown to be noble
