THE LOST PICTURE.
"Whew, but it in cold!" exclaimed lit
tle Paul, as he drew around his thin
shoulders a red shawl and looked out of
the window into the gathering gloom.
Paul was a cripple and lived in a tiny
room with his father, who went to work
early every morning. And every even
ing he would watch for the home-com
ing of the best friend he knew.
Presently there came the familiar step

and the boy hobbled to meet the tbig,
strong man, who came in with a sack
oh his shoulder.
“I brought along some bits *of wood
from the waste at the factory to help
about the fire,” the father explained as
he threw the bag by the stove, "but here
is a square box I found in the street. It
had dropped from a wagon that was go

supper at the stove, Paul laid the pack
age on his bed and began to read the
evening paper which the father had
brought. One of the first headlines he
saw was a big one giving an account of
a great robbery of* a millionaire’s art
gallery. The paper went on to say that
a famous picture by one of the world’s
greatest painters was among those the
robbers had secured, and that the owner
had o ffered $5,000 as a reward for its
return.*
When supper was over Paul undid the
package, but it contained nothing ex
cept a cheap print in a plain frame, so
he stood it on the floor by his chair.
The next morning when the father had
gone to work the boy began to take, the
frame apart.
“I will cut it down and make it into
a smaller one for mother’s picture,” he
said to himself, as he set about the
work with his knife. "Mother will be
back from the hospital next week, anrl
I can make her a Christmas present right
here in my chair.”
He pried the pieces apart, and as they
fell into his lap there came with them
a square of linen which was held flat to
the back of the frame by tiny tacks It
had been on the inside of the boards at
the back, and with the print In front
could never have been seen at all. Paul
held it up to the light, then gasped in
astonishment.
"It Is the very picture those robbers
stole a few nights ago from Mr. Rogers,”
he said aloud. “They must have been
hiding it this way to get it out of the
city. Gee. but how lucky I am. I can
get the $5,000 reward. Then I will be
able to have my leg made well.”
When the father came home he found
Taul almost in a fever with excitement.
"You must take this to Air. Rogers at
once,” panted the child. “It was behind
that old frame you picked up in the
street.’’

Just as soon as the child had had a
warm supper the falhcr ran with the
picture ail the way to the great, mansion
in which Mr. Rogers lived. In a few
moments he stood in the handsome library
and told the story of the find.
“ Iwill not only give your son the re
ward 1 promised,” said Mr. Rogers, “but
I will let my own son, who is a fine sur
geon, attempt his cure.” He called his
carriage and in a few moments was driven
to the humble room In which the boy
awaited his father's return.
When Air. Rogers mot Paul lie was
much pleased with the lad, and when
he heard that the picture had been found
on account of the boy’s desire to make
a frame for his mother's photo he in
sisted that Taul select one of the hand
somest frames to be had in the city for
that purpose.
By New Year's Air. Rogers had become
so rond of Paul that he kept the lad at
his own house for the operation on Ills
leg. It was successful and within two
months Paul could run around with the
other boys. Then he studied painting,
and the very first picture he made was
one of a cripple sitting by a window with
the sunset light falling on his face and
Ids mother’s picture in Ills hand.
Mrs. Walter Miller
to Address Equal
Suffrage Club
On© department of the national suf
frage mobilization of women for service
to the government of the country In
war, is under the direction of Mrs. Walter
McNab Miller, first vice-president of the
National American woman Suffrage As
sociation. This is the committee on
thrift and the elimination of waste.
Mrs. Miller is the wife of Prof. Miller
of the University of Missouri. She has
been chairman of the Missouri Public
Health Commission, and the organizer
of the work for Pure Food in the Gen
eral Federation of Women’s Clubs.
She is one of the most prominent wo
men in the suffrage ranks today, and is
best known among suffragists as the
woman who is determined to paint the
state of Missouri white on the suffrage
map. As president of the Missouri State
Suffrage Association, she was largely re
sponsible for the large favorable vote for
woman suffrage when the issue came up
at the election of November, 1914.
In speaking on the subject of suffrage
Mrs. Miller brings to her theme a wealth
of information in regard to the practical
subjects in which she has interested her
self. She argues for votes for women
on the grounds that as housekeepers and
guardians for their children, women need
a voice in the law's which affect living
conditions jn their commiwiltles. Hh©
shows the practical worth of a vote in
securing pure food legislation, sanitary
housing and to nrotect the public
against infection from disease, and speaks
with the authority of one who has first
hand information.
Mrs. Miller comes to Augusta under
the auspices of the Augusta Equal Suf
frage League. And will speak at the Al
bion parlors Friday afternoon at 6 o’clock.
The public ’is invited.
