A CRISIS IN LIFE.
A Bows Future Depending Upon the Fit

Chicago Ledger.
From the time a boys legs are long
enough 10 break he ceases 10 be free
moral agent and becomes the victim OF
breaches. His status in after lite may all
depend upon the fit Of his frs. first pants,
and q Iea,ful responsibility therefore be-
longs to the architect Of that important
garment. If he grows up TO be wise and
good, it IS because ne has not been reared
in pantsloons so diabclcsllS i'll shaped that
be couldn't step anywhere but in the broad
road leading to evil. If he gees to the
bad, il is more than probable that his start
ing impulse was o pair Of breeches con
structsd by his mother in the blind zeal
Of imperative economy and who,
having nothing else handy, used
one end Of q saWbuck for q
pattern. Rear boy in bsggy trousers,
and the chances are that be will develop
into q SLOUGH, and become henpecked
husband or q hsrishell Baptist preacher
Bring him up in tight ones, and he will be.
come deceilful and churlisb, dropping in
to poliics ss naturally as ducks take to
water. Have them too short, and he will
become round shouldered and timid, and
most likely become an editor with hunger
for his bed-fellow and hard times for play
mate. II they are too long, with legs
tucked into boot tops, nothing but very
attentive guardian angel and lack of op-
parrunity can prevent bis poisoning into
q fun blown roWdy, with red hair on his
hp and bad words in his mouth. Many
q poor boz with infinite possibilities for
good somewhere s6out him has been sent to
the chain gang, We make no doubt, by a
misguided mother who blighted his life
with her needle. In her goodness of heart
she thought she was doing something
Grand and saving a dollar ct the same
time, when the boiled down truth about
the matter is that the breaches Of her con-
. ruetion would have made the prophet
Jeremiah steal eggs.
We are glad to know that the tailoring
business and the consequent power for evil
are being taken out OF the hands Of the
bows mother, and that the custom Of put
ting storemsde garments On the hope Of
Israel is constantly groSiDg and waxing
mora so. 1t is an Indication that the next
generation will be wiser and better, and
every man with q heart not made Of
leather will throw up his hat and bless his
eyebrows that his own boy will not have to
suffer what ne went through in the little
breaches" period of lite.

eco back, go back" sac whispered. You
will see to all, learn everything, will you
not?'
He nodded, re-entered the carriage and
drove back to the cemetery. The blood ran
fercely through his veins. This man, the
man who stood between him and happiness,
dead! 1t could not be! Such things as this
never happen in zeal life. Some chance re-
semblance must have misled him and Bea-
trice. VIII Carruthers, who had never yet
wished fellow creature dead, be blamed
because he trembied at the thought!
There was no mistake. He gained access
saw the sling which had been removed from
the broken arm. And as he stood and gazed
at the dead man he seemed to hear the voice
of the strange servant begging him in wild
accents to wait for Beatrice. Her prophecy
had come true; her curious faith had not
deceived her.
He looked long on the white face. Pity,
except the pity one feels for violent death,
did not move his heart. But, nevertheless
the man lying there had once been loved by
Beatrice; might, had he so willed, be loved
by her even now. How strange it all
seemed! At last he turned away.
He had to answer many questions; see
sundry officials. He said he identified the
man as one Maurice Hervey, an artist. He
could say nothing more about him-nothing
about h S friends He had exchanged very
few words with him. Then he left money
wartsaal and decently laid out Also
mones for funeral expenses, and for stone
with N. H. on it to be put over the grave.
They told him the funeral must take place
on the morrow. Then he went back to Bea-
tiica.
She would not see him, so he left note
saving that all was DONE The next day be

Continued from last aceeh.

Strange as confession of insanity seemed,
the puzzled policeman was bound to take her
at her word. the more so because she would
not or could not give any account of herself,
or name any place of residence. So she was
led away a docile captive, and spent the
rest of the night, or rather morning, under
detention.
Mad or not, she believed her work was
now done; believed that she would be be-
