THE UNSEEN
Cheer up.
An ounce of beauty is worth
more than a ton of brick.
One word of creative genius
will outlast a pyramid.
One thought that will “feed
pure love and enkindle gener
ous ardor” is of more value to
the sum of things than a Car
negie fund or a Rockefeller foun
dation.
Once upon a time there was a
■ man of small stature, a Jew, with
defective vision, a common tramp
tentmaker, who wandered into
Rome in the days of its glory,
and looked about him in amaze
ment.
He was jostled in the street by
soldiers and hustled aside for the
patrician’s chariot to roll by.
He gathered a few slaves and
folk of the lower classes into
a private house and told them of
the vision he had seen, and of
which the vision had Ibome into
his soul.
Upon the imperial throne sat
a cross between a hog and a hy
who ruled the world.
The hyena-hog killed the think
ing Jew.
lliij m Time came and had his say.
Nero became a stench in the
nostrils of mankind.
The words of the murdered Jew
m live today in millions
of hearts,
have stirred successive genera
tions to, a manlier fight with
circumstances and grander scope
of effort, and, burning brightly
in the anteroom of death, have
cheered innumerable voyagers on
their way into the unknown.
It was this Jew, Paul, who said:
\ “We look not at the things
which are seen, but at the things
which are unseen; for the things
which are seen are temporal, but
the things which are not seen are
eternal.’”
The common notion of men is
directly contrary to this.
According to that notion, land
is spoken of as real estate and
houses and book cases are re
ferred to as personal property,
while dreams, convictions and
opinions are regarded as most
unreal and impersonal.
When we want a symbol of
something that is enduring, some
thing defying the tooth of time,
we call up the image of the pyra
mids or the great wall of China
or the Himalaya Mountains.
Yet thoughts last longer than
these, and when this globe and
all that it inherits shall dissolve
like some baseless fabric of our
vision and leave not a wreck be
hind. Thoughts will be going on
strong with the strength of eter
nal youth. •
The argument that convinces
immortality is not the perma
nence of our bodies but the very
fact that they are deciduous, and
we are convinced that our real
% self is that unflagging spirit that
knows no death.

SIR BASIL ZAHAROFF
For years the subject of all
kinds of Monte Christo like leg
ends and stories, Sir Basil Zaha
roff, mystery man of Europe, is
once more brought into the
light through his recent marriage
to Dona Maria del Pilar, Duchess
of Marchena, widow and a grand
mother.
Greek Mother.
Sir Basil now 74, was born at
Constantinople of a Greek mother
and a Russian father. He was
educated at Rugby and Trinity
college, Cambridge, and is an
English citizen by naturalization.
His extreme reticence, recalled,
by his friends as a trait ever
since his early youth, has made
his exact wealth and scope of his
activities a mystery.' He is some
times called the British counter
part of Krupps, however, because
of his large holdings in the or
dinance concern of Vickers, &
Co.
Chairs of Aviation.
He has established chairs of
aviation in the universities of
Paris and Petrograd and also a
chair of aviation in England.
In 1914 the French government
made him a commander of the
Legion of Honor and in 1918 con
ferred upon him the grand cross
of the same order.
The British have honored him
with the Knight Grand Cross of
the Order of the Bath.

of civil laws was conferred upon
him by Oxford.

Our Daily Story
Her Quaker Gray
Uniform
By RUBY DOUGLAS
The little drab-colored usher had
seated the last late theater-goer in
her section and had sought a dark,
quiet spot in a corner of the prom
enade aisle. The red light from
the exit sign enveloped her Quaker
gray uniform in a rosiness that was
becoming beyond mere words to de
scribe.
The door behind her opened qui
etly and closed quickly. A big, uni
formed fireman tiptoed in. He stood
close behind her, his arms folded.
They did not know each other,
1 though she ushered there each night
i and he stood about to comply with
th L flre J aw in the theaters.
, Tlw fireman turned to her with
a broad grin. There was nothing
“ n the stage that was amusing, but
the Infectious gurgle beside him
had brought out his ready smile.
' I couldn’t help it,’’ she said
softly.
“Help wlmt?"
1 plained. “Laughing out loud?” she ex
i “Tell me so that I, too, may be
mirthful,” be Insisted. They whis
i pered, perforce.
“I was just thinking how you and
l are all dressed up and no place to
, go,” she said,
her glee. trying to be quiet In
“It’s true—you in your usher’s
uniform, me In my fireman's gran
deur! It is funny,” he admitted.
“Veritably—all • the world’s a
stage as Shakespeare said,” she
went on. “I’ve often thought how
you and I stand around here every
night decked out to kill. You stand
bravely around tn your grand brass
buttons and visored cap looking
bored to death. I sashay up and
down the aisles In this Quaker out
fit that no more suits my tempera
ment than It suits yours! You are
reuler than I am, but—It’s all up
stage stuff together.” /
The btg man almost laughed
aloud. His arms were not folded
now and he did not look bored.
“What are you going to do
it?” he asked.
“Nothing—it’s all I can do to eam
my salt.”
“And we all have to do that,”
added the man. “I supposed every
girl vvho took this sort of a job
hoped to be an actress,” he went on.
“Heaven forbid.” said the little
usher.
Then what do yon want to be?’ ’
ven ^ ure ^ U le fireman.
“An honest and truly girl who
doesn’t have to act. A girl who
can be real—nil the time,” answered
the usher a bit wistfully,
The fireman did not reply. He
had eaught the pensive note*.
^That’s a laudable ambition,” he
said after a while, “but It Isn’t be
ing done.”
The girl acquiesced quickly.
"Well do I know it »»
After that night when her sense
of humor had brought them to
gether they became friends. It was
some time before the big fireman
mustered courage to ask the little
usher If'she would spend, perhaps,
the next free evening she had with
him.
“In my regular clothes?” she
asked laughingly.
"You’re taking no more chance
than I am—plain June,” he said.
“I’m almost afraid to see you
without your grand uniform. You
know how we women love brass
buttons.”
Nevertheless, I’m going to take a
ehance, lf you Iet me.”
They took their free evening to
gether far from the theater district.
In a quiet, restful garden they
found a table for two and there
they sat getting better acquainted.
“Do you like me in regular
clothes?” asked the usher.
“Yes,” said the big fireman, “if
that expresses 1L M
“And I think you are almost
handsome In that brown suit. I
like It better with your hazel eyes
and light hair tlmn I do the blue of
the uniform. Firemen should have
blue eyes to match,” she laughed.
After that she asked him just why
he happened to be a fireman, and
he told her. He had further ambi
tions, but he was young and the
excitement had appealed to him.
Ever since he had been a small boy
he had loved to go to fires and chase
red fire wagons.
•houjd-get “buppose—suppose our theater
on fire, • ’ said the little
usher.
“I should dash quickly out with
you in my arms,” he said, almost
without thinking.
“Oh!” breathed the girl, Oh r
she repeated.
The man went on eating, He
had not meant to blurt out those
words tm boldly. *4 You see,” he
said, “I was just being real.”
She did not reply.
“Don’t yon want to allow me the
privilege of being real as well as
yourself?” he asked.
“But—yes, of course I do. Only
I hadn’t realized what—”
“You just hadn’t realized that
while I’ve been seeing you In your
sweet little drab Quaker costume
every night I’ve been falling in love
with you. You hadn’t realized that
that spontaneous little laugh of
yours that night when we first spoke
went straight to my heart. Yon
hadn t realized that now. when you
ar 6 your real self, with all the uni
form tnken awuy you nre
resistible to me. Both. I love you
and I want you to spend your days
with me being just an ’honest and
truly “Of girl’—my girl, will you?”
bition. course-well, that’s my am
isn’t it?
