And sure enough, when he put on

wonderful things happening to the

Oh. where Is it all going?"
"Out," said the .lognloiig.

"Out into the air." said the .Tog

WHATEVER there may be of in
terest or helpfulness in what 1
am about to tell should bring credit
n'ft upon to me, but to a reader who
is its real author. My part in it con
sists merely of transcribing what she
told me.
A sweet-faced, white-haired little
woman is Mrs. James Gray. You
would !?ave thought, as 1 did. par
ticularly of her sweetness, it she hap
pened to be telling you. as she told |
me. of a courageous fight which she
and her husband have been waging
against vicissitudes and adversity, with
no more suggestion of complaint or
discontent than is she were relating
any ordinary sequence of events.
Had it not been for her husband's
long illness, which ate up al>out all
they had been able to save and pre
vented his going back to what for so
many years had been his work, there
would be no story.
"Of course, he could not go back
to that type of work.'* said Mrs. Gray,
"and it is not easy for a middle-aged
man to get an opportunity to start
work at something new to him. So
try as he might, he was without work
for a long time.
"And then, just as we were about at
the end of our rope, he had an idea.
It was to start a lunch wagon up there j
on tile hill. Yon see what made that
particularly nice was that I could help
him With the work. Well, he pot the
wagon a-Kl it went" wonderfully. [
worked wi;h hitn and we were very
happy. That was for a while. Then
It seenieil other people got the Ide.i

and other lunch wagons, bigger, bettei
equipped, newer ones, began coming
in rlglit close to us. That wsisnt so
"ood but we stuck and managed to
pet along. But last year the neighbor
hood changed. The gas worts cnrna
in. and spoiled everything, and we bad
to give up the wagon.
"So we are looking around again
for something to do. But I don't feel
badly about it. You see we have no
children, only ourselves to look out
for. and we'll alw?."s get along some
how.**
And then Mrs. Gray gave me this
little kernel of thought. "Whenever I
feel myself getting the leasl bit dis
couraged." she said, "there is one
thought that alwaj's helps m?'. Yob
know how you will see for a 'on?
time a row of old. ramshackle build
ings on a certain street, and then <?oe
day after you haven t been there for
a while you suddenly find thein cone
and a row of beautiful, new tall build
ings in their place? Well, that's the
way we humans are ? down one day
and up the next. And if we're down
today It only means we'll be up t?"
morrow !**
I tfilnk there is enough of benefit
to all of us in that thought to war
rant a vote of thanks to Mrs. Gray.
