The Diplomat Tell me, Henry, said the sweet tell me. young thing dramatically Am I the only girl you were ever interested in? He started guiltily and did a bit of quick thinking. No, my pet, he said, after a while ; but you are the most charming among all the girls I have ever met in my life devoted mainly to meeting charming girls. SOMETHING IN THAT , I wish I had gold leaves! It cried. That night a fairy passed through the forest, and in the morning the little pine tree bad leaves all of shining gold. It Hurt, daughter? a little incredulously. He had striven to make his money furnish his children an ideal background for happiness. Mary moved restlessly toward the fire, and stood there a moment, fair head upflung defensively. When I was in second grade, she wheeled suddenly to say, I won a prize for keeping the tidiest desk for a semester. The girl behind me cried because she didnt win it, so I gave it to her. And at recess I heard one teacher remark to another, sweet of Mary, wasnt it? But of course it was no sacrifice for her. Her father can buy her anything she wants. But dad! I would rather have had that particular copy of Sara Crewe than a whole library I hadnt earned I Of course. "All through elementary school it was the same. I worked hard. I excelled in my classes. I skipped two grades. What credit did I get? This: very beautiful. And it was very happy until a robber came by and stole every leaf. Then the little pine tree cried, "I wish I had glass leaves Again that night the fairy passed through the forest, and in the morning the little tree had leaves of sparkling glass. It was very beautiful, and again it was very happy until a storm passed by and left every leaf shattered upon the ground. I wish I had big green leaves like those of the other trees! the little pine tree cried then. Once more the fairy passed through the forest in the night, and in the morning the little tree had broad green leaves like those of its neighbor trees. Once more it was very beautlfuL And once more it was very happy until a goat and her kids came by and ate every leaf on the low little pine tree. j And then the little pine tree cried, I wish I had my own long green needles again That night the fairy passed through the forest again, and in the morning the little pine tree once again was covered with long green needles. It was very beautiful And it was very happy. For the birds alighted upon it joyously, crying, Now we can build our nests here. You will hide them in summer, and in the winter you will keep us snug and warm After all, said the little pine tree, "no other leaves are so good for me as my own long green needles."

Mry Brown selected one of the silver forks beside her plate and deftly speared a slice of bread from the tray across the table. David Brown, president of the Peerless Copper company, stood the shock rather well, having had considerable experience in confronting the unexpected In big business and in his youngest child. Calmly choosing a bit of red tomato You from his salad, he commented, turn the trick rhther neatly for a novice. Thanks, father. Mary lifted truculent blue eyes to his amused but ques1 wanted to see if 1 tioning ones. multi-millionai- re had forgotten but 1 think thats exactly the way I have seen it done in mur mining camps. However, I must cquire ease. Youre expecting to need outpost itiquette? I might, she told him meagerly. But David Brown very well knew that this was Just a dramatic forerunner to an outburst that would come later. Mary, always intense, eager, determined, was especially surcharged today. For some reason she had a grievance against life. He smiled ruefully as he followed her to the drawing room later. She was a tall girl straight as a mast, wiry, hard and firm of muscle; yet very feminine in general appearance. Unusually dark brows and lashes added character to the delicately chiseled features of her face. Today she had been graduated from a large eastern university in that profession which - overcomes natures forces with a slide rule and a table of logarithms. Mary Brown had been from the school the only of civil engineering and she had received highest honors in her class. And still, something was seriously wrong with her world. The butler served the coffee. Hardly had he withdrawn when the predicted outburst came. What Is it? Money! she cried. And scornfully she answered her own question : Shackles ! David Brown seated himself, narrowing friendly brown eyes as he smiled. Money shackles? With one hundred and twenty millions of people in our country scrambling over each other to get it? Because they dont know its Just a ball and chain ! But I do Im through with it, dad.

Of course there had been no royal road to these achievements. But the general public did not recognize that. Why bump your pretty head against the stone wall of tradition, girl?

I was born different Why argue about It? her father That was obvious even in laughed. your cradle. Didnt we call you plain Mary, while we gave the other girls the more decorative names of Eve and Diane? But let us get back to the point where we started. Just what of anything has the spearing of bread to do with your having been hurt by money all your life? I Mutiny grew in Marys eyes. charge money with making success on ones own merits almost Impossible. A rich person never Is taken seriously. I dont believe the poor girl or boy has half the obstacles to overcome that a rich one has. Every one is for the poor one. But the ambitious rich one is simply amusing. So," with an eloquent gesture, 1 wash my hands of the money, dad. The spearing act, he reasoned, was a declaration of Independence of sorts. Yes. I even wash my hands of the breeding, if that is necessary. And it may be. An uncouth person learning manners is you know. But a cultured person coming into an outpost is a laugh, a tenderfoot, a victim for blanket tossing. What Im trying to get over to you, dad, is that Im starting at the bottom, on my own, and working my way up. Starting with just enough money in my pockets to last until my first pay day. Has it occurred to you, thoughtfully, that with the sizable fortune your mother left you, you could develop a project of your own? An engineer is rated by the projects upon which he has been chief..

H. Maier, of the university psychology department, reported in the British Journal of Psychology. Using students In the beginning psychology course as subjects, Doctor Maier divided them Into two groups, one of which received some general hints on what not to do when solving the problems presented. The second group received no suggestions. The problems varied from abstract puzzles, such as dividing equally an oddshaped diagram, to constructive work with simple material available. The group receiving suggestions were from 20 to 40 per cent more efficient. In a variation of the experiment the 384 students were subjected to two problems of equal difficulty. The hints were given In connection with one of these problems, and it was solved by twice as many Individuals as the other problem. 1 TRACTORS We have several good used Caterpillar" Tractors on which desirable deals can be made.
