By GRACE UPTON

Hope Gordon moiinlcil the third
flight of Btnlrs In her mint's hoarding
house and carried the carpet sweeper
loto the “third Moor front" room. This
room was occupied hy Mr. Archibald
McPhee, floorwalker In a department
store, and Hope always smiled a little
os she tidied up the room. II was
typical of Mr. McPhee, with Its ux
pensive silver toilet set spread oA the
dresser, Its cut-glass bottles of per
fumes and toilet waler, Its gold-framed
pictures of rich-looking people wearing
handsome dollies and showy Jewelry,
Its rpek of ruin-how lined neckwear—
a scarf for every day la the your and
a few over—Its wnrdrobe tilled with
costly clothes-
"Poor Mr. Harrison I" sighed Hope,
for she was thinking about the occu
pant of the hull room at the rear,
Then sho pulled down the window
shades to the proper place, -left a
window open Just a little to keep the
olr nt the proper temperature, and
left the room. The hall room came
next. She looked at the narrow while
Iron hedsteud with the lied neatly
made up, at the white wushstand In
the corner with two or three things
In order—the scantily-furnished dress
er, the nlmost-empty wardrobe—the
poverty of It all.
"t hope ho can find n position to
day," sho sighed, for she knew that
the pule grim fuce was growing paler
every day, and that Ills board hill wns
creeping up. Her aunt had not said
anything yet, and the girl hoped she
would not, hut coal bills were .high,
“Do What?" She Faltered.
and It wits creeping toward the new
year.
•Torhnps Mr. McPhee .will get him
a plnce In the store," she thought. "I
know he wants to he a newspaper
man, but—oh, dear—” she stopped and
stared at a new picture tin .lint Har
rison's dresser. A large photograph
of n pretty girl, a really nice girl with
a charming smile. Across one cor
ner was written In a dashing hand:
"Come buck for my sake, Jimmy 1"
That sentence rang In Hope's ears
the rest of the day. She could not
ent nml her lovely face grew" pale and
worried, for In her heart of hearts
she loved Jltutuy Harrison—and there
was another girl who wanted him to
' SStne bQSjf. Could he resist that ap
peal? He finite In to dinner that
night looking white and grim as usual.
He was late and so wns Mr. McPhee
and the two men nlo atone. Hope
went In and out watting upon them,
for It was Maggie's evening oft.
“Made any connection yet?" asked
McPhee genially as he ate Ills soup.
“No," nnsweretl Jimmy Harrison,
“Afraid this Is a bad time, for I don't
teem to lit Into anything."
"Got any friends—any pull?"
“Nothing, but some letters from
home folks In the West."
McPhee," she said, but her heart wns
sore. It gave a sudden Jump when
Jimmy Hurrlson came out of the din
ing room ntel stopped In front of tier
looking down ut Iter with a very
strange expression In Ills gray eyes.
"Miss Hope, did you put McPhee up
to giving me a Job?" lie asked.
She nodded through Iter tears.
"Why?" Jle didn't seem angry at
all, In spite of tils pride.
"Well, I (bought It would be nice
for you to start off Hie new year right
—and then—there's the girl In ibe
picture—you can muke good before
her," she stammered.
“What girl—oh—you hove seen It?
And. so—" Ho reddened, and with
nnolher muttered word of iluniks he
dushed up the stairs whistling like
a blackbird,
Hope bowed her sunny head and
cried.
' Christmas came mid went, with box
es of candy and (lowers for Hope and
her limit from Mr. McPhee and Jimmy
Jlarrlson. The laller went to busi
ness every day with Mr. McPhee and
he was making good, very good. In
deed. The anxious frown left Ids
conn Iona nee ns he paid Mrs. Wlnno
I he board money he owed, and Christ
mas, looming lie had appeared tu a
new suit of dollies, looking very hand
some mill Imppy. As his spirits
soared, poor Hope's weal down.
•She tried to he unselllsh and look
forward lo the New Year with a hope
ful licarl. hut ulwnys before her iJiere
wns a picture or Jimmy's happy face
and I lie sweet smile of the unknown
girl who warned Jimmy to come hack
for her saku.
The llrHl of the year dawned a cold,
brilliant day, There were only a few
people nt the hreukfust tuble that
morning, for most of the hoarders
were away for the holiday. Hope Cor
don and her aunt sat alone ut. the
table, when suddenly Jimmy Harrison
came In flushed and handsome.
“Happy New Year 1” they all cried
In nnison, and Jimmy sat down, an
nouncing that he was as hungry as a
hunter.
"I will see about sape hot cokes
for you,” snld hospitable Mrs. Wlnne
ns she hustled nwuy, leaving Jimmy
and Hope alone. He lenned over and
look her hand In both of his lurge,
capable ones, “Hope," he asked grave
ly, "why did you do It?"
"Do what?" she faltered.
"Get me a position—and you know-
put n few books and magazines In my
room when I most needed them—a
newspaper full of want ads, urge me
to get ahead and linve faith In me
when I had lost It myself." H<5 wns
looking very grave now.
Hope hung her head. “I don't kuow
—you needed encouragement. I
thought you wanted to go buck and
couldn't.—"
"All those reasons," he asked gently.
"That. Is enough, and I must go mid
help Aunt Hassle—”
"1 need you most—I need you al
ways, Hope—Hope for the future—
forever—lei me begin, the new year
wit It Hope, dear!"
•‘Mill the girl In (he picture—" she
wavered.
“The best sister lu the world, as you
will Mail out some duy," he cried' tri
umphantly.
Mr. MePheo breezed through the
room on Ills way lo the kitchen.
“Happy NtnV Year!” he called to
the I wo, whose, heads were so close
together, and the Iwo lifted faces were
so radium will! Jo.v Hull worldly Mr.
Mel’hee vaguely wondered If having
clothes mid everything was the only
thing In Ilia world. For Instance, there
was Miss Drear of the laces—
This was ilia beginning of Mr. Me-
I’hee's happiest year.
, "We need a man lu onr advertis
ing department; better couie up nud
inah the Job tomorrow morning."
i “Thank you, McPhee—but can 1

\ “Of course he can, MY. McPhee—
jhe's very clever, Indeed—you can til)
(it—you must," Interrupted Hope. "He
uch start the New Year right—with
good position.” She smiled at both
en and Mr. McPhee laughed out
fight a|ad Jimmy Harrison turned to
'her gratefully.
"That’s fine of you. MIsS Hope," he
Jsald.
Hope fled blushlug Into the front sit-
ng room, where she hid her face
behind n newspaper. What had she
idone? She did not kuow much nbout
Jimmy Harrison and here she was
(championing Ills cause, lindlug a po
sition for him through Mr. McPhee,
all because she had learned to love
him—"and probably he doesn’t know
tae from Maggie," was her agonising
thought.
But Mr. McPhee rushed through his
dluner because he had a theater en
gngement, and os be passed through
the sitting room he winked at Hope,
"Landed him. didn't 1?" lie whispered
boeraely.
i Hope nodded. “So good of yen, Mr.
MORE LIGHT, MORE PLEASURE
Tests of Theatrical Audiences Proof
That Out.of.Door Life Is Bene-
flclal tq AM.
Sonie Interesting* tests have recently
been completed lo show the effect of
light ..upon one’s enjoyment of any
sport or entertainment. An audience
has been carefully watched while en
joying some form of entertainment In
bright sunlight, In various degrees of
subdued light mid in total darkness.
The lesls hnve been scientifically ac
curate mid the effects have been meas
ured by reading Hie pulse, the blood
pressure and the general physical con
dition of Ihe spccators. It lias been
found that the degree of enjoyment
and the physical and mental benefits
Increase steadily ns the light In
creases. In other words the spectator
gets much more enjoyment and benefit
from the same performance If the light
lie Increased. In moving picture the
aters, where the house must be kept
dark. Hie spectator enjoys himself less
than In a lighted room or out of doors.
Those experiments confirm the opin
ions of many scout leaders. It Is good
scout philosophy iind proves, what we
have always believed, that sunlight
and out-of-door life Is beneficial to us
all.—Boys’ Life.
“I don’t know what, the young men of
today nro coming to,” said Mr. Smith.
“In my young days there wasn’t any
need for ifll this courting. The girls

"1 was only going to say, my dear,”
he remarked, when lie bad recovered his
composure, ‘‘that I wish the young fel
low who Is railing on Cliristabel would
go away, and let us get the house shut
up. It’s pnst midnight.”
At that moment there entered the
small hoy of the household. He had
boon, for the last hour or so, .behind a
screen in the drawing-room, mid vowed
that he Imd enjoyed himself bettor than
if he had been nt a Punch and Judy
