Over-work baa affected Mr. Tolllver'a eyea to tba point of threatened blindness. tinned to bold out d Induce-ments, so long would Ellen Tolllver, called Ginger Ella, follow the rain-bow trail. Barred from the comfortable liv-ing room, occupied by Helen and Horace, by the unwritten law of a fam-ily of sisters. Miriam, Ginger, and their father sat on the veranda. The; were thrilled and expectant The; must wait wait for the wealth ot prizes wait for Marjory shining, rapt, triumphant for fifty dollars In gold "Oh, father cried Miriam sudden held their breath as Miriam lifted the soft folds over Queer's sleek tittle bead. Cinger posed with great dignity be-fore the mirror, practicing a slow bridal step. "Oh, Ginger, It Is lovely. Why, really, you"re quite pretty." Ginger paraded back and forth be fore ber mirrored reflection In a com-plete ravishment of delight "Uuw sumptuous J mean, scrumptious." she exulted "How dignified I ami Why, I look as old as Helen. Oh. I wish we bad a veil." Her face fell dlsap pointedly. Unfortunately, the family finances bad not yet admitted of the purchase of that ultimate bridal accessory. "Look In Helen's drawers. Miriam. She must bare something. Ton can't get the effect without a veil." Miriam obligingly ransacked the cedar chest, the dresser drawers, but In vala She did produce however a small circlet of creamy white flowers saved from the bat ot - previous summer, and these she twined prettily on Ginger's bead, admiring the effect. But Ginger was not to be pleased. '"But we've got ro have a veil. It looks like a nightgown, or anything, without a veil."

' "As If we care whether she gets It or not," said Ginger stoutly. Mr. Tolllver, wltb the courage ot hie conviction, went Instantly to bed. Not for worlds would be confuse a daughter of his wltb tbe thought that he expected her to bring blm money by ber loveliness.

Eddy did not talk nonsense. He never stopped the car to leap out and pluck a wild rose to present wltb a flattering word, a soft look, and a aly touching of Angers. He did not quote poetry. He did not sing. He Just strolled blithely In wltb an offer lng of fruit from tbe farm, fresh vegetables, or a chicken ready for broiling, and announced that be would like company for a ride. Regular. Just Ilka fatber. That was Eddy Jackson. Ginger took ber responsibilities to tbe family wltb a great deal of solem-nity. If only she could bold tbem In line, tbe twins, that la, for Helen was now Irrevocably lost to ber sis-terly schemes. ' Still, even Ginger found some grounds of Justification for Helen. She was getting old nearly twenty-three- . And Helen was an nnexcirahle, unro-mantl- c type Perhaps after all It was Just as welt She regretted that tbey could not afford money enough to adorn Mar-jory's beanty In a fitting manlier. Ginger was not very patient. And It did seem hard to wait, and keep on waiting, for Marjory's hour of tri-umph at the side of the romantic fig-ure dispensing countless millions In charitable enterprise and looking well after the Tolllvers, also. In the meantime. Ginger quite burned to do something on ber own account It was not that she bad not tried. What Indeed, had she not tried? She bad bought, from her per- - tbe first thrill of ber voice feel tbe first touch of ber quivering lingers. They took off tbelr shoes, making pretense, and thrust their feet Into their shabby old mules. This was to prove that tbey were utterly tndllTer ent to the outcome, practically In bed and asleep. Then they sat on the bed and waited a while It seemed a long time to tbem. , "She won't be here for hours and hours." mourned Miriam. "But If we go to bed we may fall asleep," protested Ginger. "And she would come borne In whispers, and It would be morning tefore we knew what bad happened." This was too hopelessly awful even to consider. They si u red at eacb other disconsolately. Sheer desperation finally drove them op tbe corridor, beyond the twins room, to the one which Ginger shared Walt." Miriam ran noiselessly to the bathroom, and returned wltb a pair of shapeless wblte canvas ones which Marjory kept there In reservt for her Infrequent turns of dusting. She tucked these effectively Into Ginger's hand, bnt Ginger would not be dis-tracted from the quest. "Miriam, think we must have some tiding. Look I The cortalnslH Forgetting the sacred gown, she swung herself lithely up to a chair by the window, but was quickly drawn from danger of disaster by her sister. f'Glnger, be careful Come awny I'll get It." Balancing berselt on the chair, she removed one of the kng thin curtiilus from the rod, and shook It carefully out the window to remove the dust Then, with a nice regard for effective-ness, she attached It by pins to the wreath In Ginger' hair.

Helen, In spite of tbe excitement attendant upon tbe beauty pageant, bad been putting some last tender touches to ber wedding gown, and had left It carefully spread out across her bed. "So slinky," cooed Ginger. "Real lace." exulted Mlrlum. "If only it were tne prince of Wales Instead cf Horace Laugley." "But Helen loves Horace "So dumb of her." Tbey lapsed Into mcody silence. Ginger broke It at last "It's not that I'm altogether opposed to mar-riage, you know. But people should marry somebody that Is somebody, if they're going to marry at all. Vou must admit that It is silly of Helen to marry s common school teacher who doesn't earn a cent mere than father does. She's not gaining a thing by It, not a thing.

Scented wa-ter floating with foam reached to bla neck. A dignified aervant with a heavy batb towel stood at attention nearby. Suddenly there came a scratch at the door for at this time scratching was nsed Instead of knocking. Aa the door opened Napoleon's two brothers, Joseph and Laden, entered. Napoleon, looking up from bis bath, remarked: "I am going to sell Louisiana to the United States." Now Louisiana was tbe last foot-hold of France on the North Amer-ican continent and the two brothers were amazed. Joseph, later to be king of Spain, let bla Latin anger rise. He cried, shaking a fist under Napoleon's nose : "You'll not do It It would be un-constitutional. Attempt It and I will be the first to oppose yon, I swear It" Napoleon, livid wltb anger, Jumped to his feet with the cry: "Oppose me I You'll bare no chance to oppose me. I conceived this plan. I'll carry It out Tbe responsibility la mine. Bah 1 I scorn your oppos-ition!" Just then his foot slipped. Per-haps It was a piece of soap. Anyway, bathtubs are treacherous. What hap-pened was that the Great Napoleon sllrfped and sat down In tbe batb- - tub wltb a mighty splash. A wave of hot soapy water rose and drenched Joseph to the akin. The dlgnlQed servant man who stood by the door wltb the towels on bis arm fainted. History kindly drops a curtain here and leaves the rest of the picture to our Imagination. At any rate this la bow Napoleon Bonaparte announced that Louisiana was to be sold. The action came Just In ' time. Robert It Livingston and James Monroe had been sent to Tarla by Thomns Jefferson, then Presi-dent Their mission was to endeavor to buy from Napoleon a gateway to the gulf at the moutb of the Missis-sippi, i The plan called for the purchase ot New Orleans and a narrow strip of land. The price Jefferson was willing to pay was 12,000,000. In the midsf of their negotiations Napoleon suddenly proposed to sell the whole ot Loulsl--' ana for $15,000,000. Be Insisted upon closing the deal at once. The two Americans bad no au-thority for such a deal. Communica-tion was slow tn those days, no trans-atlantic cables, no radio. let they hesitated little. The purchase was signed May 22, 1803, and a million square miles was added to tbe United States. The reason for Napoleon's baste was soon apparent Within forty-eig-hours after Louisiana waa sold Eng-land declared war on France. It had been England's plan to strike at once at New Orleans and so acquire all of Louisiana. . By Napoleon's sudden action be profiled 115,000,000, and lost only what he was sure to lose. The United States got a vast territory. Had Eng-land succeeded In taking New Orleans, It ts possible the western boundary of the United States today might be the Mississippi river.

English Seaside Resorts Lure Treasure Hunters Treasure hunting Is a trade at Eng-lish seaside resorts. It is much like gold mining you may strike It lucky or you may not. For his work the beachraker used a rake of the broad wooden pattern common among har-vesters with the addition of a small-mes- h wire netting fixed to the peg, so that coins, rings or similar articles may be held. All finds of value must be reported to the police and the ar-ticles handed over. If not claimed they become the finder's property. Loose coins the treasure hunter keeps; any In purses or bags, or tied In the corners of handkerchiefs, are surrendered. They could be Identi-fied. Some of the things are dropped, but most ot them hove been laid on the sand and inadvertently covered up. One of the most remunerative finds of a beachraker was an old lady's false teeth.

School Is Pleasant for Modern Child Modern children have far more luck than ever their parents had. What child, for Instance, could complain about having to' lenrn the alphabet now that films are used to teach It. In the new alphabet film the various letters are shown on the screen In a series of line drawings, similar to the cartoons we have come to know so well. An apple tree Is shown first of all. The apples drop from this and form the letter A. Later In the film mice run out of a hole In the wall. A cat appears, and the mice, scamper-ing away together, form the letter M.
