< HOW HE CAKE ► ] INTO « HIS KINGDOM. y w arwwwwwwww When Horace Leoanr j told his only son to "go West, young mnn. go Wen," be felt like adding’the real of the formula, “and grow up with the country." tor Adrian Leonard had not yet grown up In the benne of b«lng either mature In Judgment or personality. HU father was broadshouldered and athletic, but Adrian'* shoulder* sloped like a pair of shears. HU complexion was fair as a girl’* and hU brown hnlr curled In rings over a well-poised, shapely head. "You ought to hare been a girl." his fsther would say In derision, "as a girl you might hare been a success." "But 1 am only a boy,'* Adrian would answer sweetly, exasperating his father stllf more by hU ready acquiescence In the Inert table. "And you will be a boy all your life,'* Mr. Leonard would respond with erldent disdain of such a specimen of

adolescence.

Then Adrian evolved the popular Idea that a toughening process would dev lop a higher type of manhood, and he became a weak roysterer. He refused to work or to make any practical use of a fairly good education, and spent hi* alio wan w in princely prodigality. Then hU father tightened the purse string*, read the boy a lecture. In which he recounted all the disagreeable truths he knew, sent him west and washed his hands of him. In spite o( the pleadings of Adrian's mother that be would give him one more trial Adrian Leonard traveled three days and nights due west, when hU money began to give out. and he found himself nearly destltuta In the depot of a small town, where people looked ao much like thoee he had MR beck la the east that he felt at home, especially as neither cowboys nor buffalos were running wild In the streets. Leaving his trunk to he called for, he took a stroll through the streets, peat hotels tnd pretentious stores, looking for n cheap hoarding place and getting an Idea of how the land lay. The grime of dust and travel had. Improved him already. He looked more manly in the cheap business suit In which he was beginning the world than In his university togs, and he no longer talked with a drawl, the saving grace of poverty making Itself risible. * Climbing a picturesque hill of this prairie town be MW n carriage load of people coming down. Some gay summer girl* were laughing and talking, and looked nt him prettily as he lifted Ml hat. Only one bowed in recognition, of the courtesy, and she neither laughed nor looked amused. She was driving and the sun was shining In her eyes, and Adrian thought her aa handsome as any efenero belle he had ever

"She probably to<Jk-*» foe a tramp." he said to hlmaelf. but something be saw In her face strengthened and

cou raged him.

At the top of the hill stood s large frame building with many windows. In on* of these was a sign.

BOY WANTED.

Must Come Well Recommended. Adrian stopped and rend It. then entered the place. It happened to he

He had climbed to the top Moor where they worked la U* Mg

"Too advertise In ths window for a boy!" The girl laughed, then said to the on* nearest her: ‘Tell th* boss ib*W» a boy here " Then to Adrian: "Hav* you brought references from your last placer *'I will answer those questions to the right person." he answered with a grave dignity which bad a good effect on the girls. They stoppe'' giggling and staring to resume their work. Adrian was both surprised and pleased when he saw In the ‘’boas" a young man of his own age. who in his turn asked where was the "boy." and on Adrian's application for the place took him off at once to the board den he called his office. There, with the freemasonry of, youth and cbmrmdeshlp, the two etchsnged renfldences. and the boss of the candy factory said "It really seems quite providential the way you drifted In here. I have a chance to go railroading, and as soon as you master the situation you can have my place. It's a windfall for us both." "What am I to learn 7" asked Adrian with some anxiety. To pay the girls and keep their time The candy boilers are In another building and hare a foreman. It isn't too easy to make all those young things mind snd keep their good will, but you must be firm and dignified as a parson. The man who owns the business is an eastern man. and you must make your report every week to him. His family spend their summers here, and his daughter, with some of her friends, was here Just before you came." "Oh, was she driving? " asked Adrian. “Yea Then you have seen her? Isn't she a picture? I tell you. the girls up her adore her. Mabelle Graham. that's her name, but she's Miss Graham to us. Sweet as she looks, she stands you oS—It's a way she has." A month later Adrian Leonard was boas of the Albion candy factory, and the novelty of the position held him like a charm. Something else held him. He knew the lady of his dreams to whom he had lifted his hat on that first day of his new life, and) he hart hung his head In shame when she had asked him what he had accomplished In his first quarter-century of existence But he had honestly told her of his wasted opportunities, laying the blame where It belonged—on himself. When young Ford, the former boss of the candy factory, gave his position to Leonard he had also given him some good advice. "Buy a dog and gun and keep out In ■e open. No Princeton graduate should have muscles as soft as yours. Expand, man. expand. The air of the est la a wonderful tonic." He had followed Ford's advice and gained fifteen pounds. His work as superintendent of the factory gave satisfaction to his employer and to hlmaelf. but he looked forward to ths higher position promised by Ford, to which this present oge was a stepping stone. He sent letters home with the stamp of the c%ndy firm on the paper. His father suggested the use of blank envelopes in future. o." he wrote hack. "I am not ashamed of a business that has made a of me. If my friends are they must drop me. that's all." That was his first step toward the higher life. And one morning a ftw months later he received the coveted intelligence that a position In railroad service was to be offered him. He sat with Ford's cheerful letter In hi* hand. and. looking over the great floor of the factory where the neat, smiling girls were attentively pursuing their work, he wondered If he was sorry to leave them. They had become his royal subjects, and she, Mabelle Graham, was his friend. But for her sake he wanted to accomplish something heroic and there was more chance In railroad Ufa. , Still looking at the letter he noticed how hot and yellow the glare of the sun had become, and wondered what

Then he sprang to his feel “Girls!” he called In * firm voice, “there'* a circus coming Into town— you can hear the band. Take a halt hour and hurry out to aee It. Don't wait for wraps. Go. go!”. HI* voice waa breaking. Bat It was true, a circus waa passing, and hls quick wit had sslsert the opportunity. He had never Joked with the girls and had demanded absolute obedience, and wondering perhaps at the unusual privilege accorded them, they hurried out, their young feet tripping merrily down the long stalretain heaping Um* to th# merry mimic on th# street, Adrian saw that the hut one was clear of the building, then he followed them, but too late. The roof that had been biasing over their unconscious hsads fell in, burying him beneath. Loving hands soon rescued him, but mutilated, burned beyond hope of recovery. He lived long enough to aay to her a* she bandaged hls sight Isas eyes and dropped soothing tears on hls pal id face, while whispering words of hope

and comfort:

“It la better so. Tell them—«t home —that If I lived tike e boy. I died like a man. Keep me near you—always " And that was how hs came Into hls kingdom.—Mrs. M. L. Rayne. In the Chicago Record-Herald.
