A S A role tb* stranger stopped to look At old MaekiBSSo, umbr*U» uxmdar, tor h« way a man of strange contrast*. a figura out' of the eld paintings of patriarchs. Mackinson’t hair and beard were white and hit eye* a guileless bine, Hi* tatterel and area disreputable clothes would have slvan him an evil appearance were It uot for the noble carriage of head and childlike gene. Macklnson mended umbrellas and, when he had the time, sketched upon scrap* of paper with a stub o f a pencil. He was quite cer­ tain that he was a great artist Those who stopped to look over his shoulder when he was drawing sailed to see such scribbles as might have been-made by a Child of eight' “I never had the chance to take, les­ sons," the old man would say, "and never bad, the time to develop my talent -But now, with this umbrella business tci keep me going, I am'get­ ting* my hand in.” Then he would concentrate heavily while the pencil added to the effects of his picture and say, fDo you know, I wouldn't be sur­ prised if I founds* market for this.” Maeklnson’s stand was ta a ride street and across from the office of o wholesale concern. He had drawn every building In /light and so Web corned any new subject that came within Ms range. One afternoon his pencil was'busy with a large automo­ bile which had stopped near the wholesale house, ft was built for speed and luxury, and the old man forgot {the umbrella business, his need for money, and the people who passt, * as he made a picture which, to him, was- his masterpiece. He had all' but finished When two men ran out of the office, leaped Into the machine and drove off. , "Just- my luck!" complained the artist, , "now I have to finish it by memory." But there was not time to finish, Things began to happen In the quiet street with a rapidity that was amass­ ing. A patrol wagon clanged up, a crowd collected and there were police­ men everywhere. To Macklnson It was bewildering. Instead o f being curious he was frightened, like a child tost In a crowd on the. street A police captain'paused In front of the umbrella man, looked in a book, then made a motion. “You will come with me," he said kindly. “We are going to take cart of you, see that you get a comfortable place to liye." This -was the- law. He could trust the law. ‘‘But my justness; 1 must keep on with my business." "After a while. When It gets warm­ er again." • Macklnson was not to kn ow fh a t men thought him Incapable of caring for himself, that the scrawls he called pictures and hfs destitute appearance had been, responsible for reports which brought him to the station. "I guess," said the captain, "they’ll >have to call -him a vagabond and send him over for a while. Maybe there la some institution." ■ “When.the weather gets warmer," said Macklnson in his cell, and he drew his paper from under. h(s am and started, drawing. When they came to get him, that he might go be­ fore the judge, he was drawlng-an In­ terior of the cell, but It was. not this picture that drew the attention o f the captain who, following the] case with sympathy, had come for the man. "When,” he said, pointing to a drawing that had fallen on the floor, "did you make that" "I was doing It when all those, policemen came and ran around and ■ got me for doing nothing at all.” "And that automobile, was It the one which .went away just before we came?" ’ Macklnson smiled. This captain bad recognized It was ah automobile he had drawn. • "The very one, Just as It was there, only it went away before I could put ( the finishing touches." “Listen," the captain was intensely Interested, "that number there, are you sure It Is the same as the one on' the machine?" "1 am a real artist/* said old man Macklnson, "and 1 never make mis­ takes," It Is a fact they caught the men who robbed the wholesale house from the odd drawing made by the umbrella mender. And Macklnson’e reward was release from jail, retease with a sum of money paid him by a man in a high ha t ‘‘He Isn’t a vag now; he's got money," said the captain, “and X guess, anyway, he Isn't doing anybody any barm."

Bnt gold rushes of various binds follow every reported story of the get- rich-quicb variety, y » Not long ago a young man, who had never been heard of before, swam the Santa Cntnlina channel, off south­ ern California. • For the swim he got u. prize of $25.* 000, and because of the celebrity he earned he was able to make $1,000 a day by exhibiting himself for sotrte weeks afterward. The prize was offered for Just one swim—-for the first successful effort to master the channel. * * * - Shortly after this channel feat, a prominent American baseball player was signed to piny with a bait team for a salary as great ns that which is paid President Coolldge. That will set-more hoys to trying to be boll players, nnrl take them from useful work, for which they are fitted. The very fact that a great prize was offered for swimming the Santa Catalina channel is proof, that only a very few people, possessing singular endurance, can accomplish such a feat , The combination of strength, quick­ ness of eye 'and co-ordination which makes a remarkable baseball player Is rare. It is a gift which nature has bestowed upon him. To seek to emulate such qualities Is worse than useless. As well seek to.emulate the circus giant or the human skeleton. * * 1* To the average person aueeess of, any sort means alow, patient effort, abundance of hard ~'ork and deter mination. ‘ But these -are tedious and laborious. It looks so much easier to swjrn a channel or to play remarkable base­ ball, op to achieve distinction by some unusual way, that every time athletic celebrities are spoken of In the paper, great numbers of people begin to seek their laurels. People differ In brain quality, but most of them can be more successful and more useful than they are if they will try to Improve by ways-which are perfectly possible, As long ns „they join every gold rush they will always face disappoint­ ment, always nurse a grievance, be­ cause somebody else seems to be luckier than they. It Is-lucby, of course, to be born with some unusual quality, but suc­ cess can be secured without that kind of luck and is constantly secured by people who never join a gold rush, , (CopyrlRbt.) ■— *— o—---- - Mk*- What Does Your Child :!
