floor. Mr. Cromer. You've made .
$50 / have. Beg pardon, I'm
sure ,,--snd Carter turned away.
From Kings Cross he went straight
70 Scotland Yard and narrated his ex-
pericnces. That night Dir. Livesey re-
ceiyed a visit which caused him some
surnrise-spd 80 did Mr.. Cromer. No
sooner was the latter gentleman in the
hands Of the police than he confessed the
whole matter.
Mr.. Mason had known Cromer, who
was scoundrel with . respectable APP
pearance and Q plausible manner, for
some time, and had selected him to be
his tool. He had sent poor Crump to
the docks on the afternoon before the
morning when the check was missed.
He had come back to the Office after
the clerks were gone, and had then
opened Crump's safe with his own
kew and distracted the blank check.
This check be had himself filled
up and signed with the firms
signature in the usual way, so there
was little wonder that the cashier
at the bank paid it without any suspi-
cion. He had, no doubt, calculated
that the bank would have to bear the
loss but, as it was, he had cheated
Mr. Livesey out Of two thousand
pounds, for, as be himself had but q
third share in the business, only one
thousand out Of the three had to come
out of his own pocket
Mr.. Mason saved his partner the
trouble of trying whether he could
make him criminally responsible for
what he had done; for when the police
went to look for him he had disap-
peared. Probably he had seen Robert
Carter following his accomplice, and,
seeming danger, had saved himself
while there was time. IL turned out
sfterward that he had been specializing
largely on the Stock Exchange and was
sorely in need Of money to pay his
losses. It was some consolation to Mr..
Livesey to think that his dishonest part
ner had not profited much by his theft.
As for Walter Crump, he was offered
his old place, with an apology and a
handsome present to boot; and be still
keeps the books which he had so long
under his care. He has not quite over
come his prejudice against Robert Car
ter, and he always regarded it as hard
thing that be should have to owe his
reputation and his deliverance from
poverty to that particular young
gentleman. However, as things were
be could do no less than inform
Carter that he had done him an injus-
tice, and that be would be happy to see
him in the evening whenever it suited
him to call. The color came back to
Annie's cheek and the light to her eyes
when she heard the good news; and it
was not many weeks before she became
the promised wife Of the young man
who discovered the secret of The Mys-
FERROUS Forgery.

Mobile Reglster.l
The sounds OF the tumult have ceased 10
ring,
And the battles sun has set,
And here in peace Of the new bonn spring,
We would fain forgive and forget.
Forget the rage OF the hostile years,
And the scars OF the wrong unshriven;
Forgive the torture that thrilled TO tears
The angels calm In Heaven.
Forgive and forget? Yes; be IL SO,
From the hills 10 the broad sea waves;
But mournful and low are the winds that
blow
BY the slopes OF thousand graves.
We may scourge from the spirit all thought
In the midnight ofgrief held fast;
Ard yet, y brothers, be loyal still
To the sacred aud stainless Past
She is glancing now from the yapor and
From the waning mansion OF Mars
And the pride other beauty Is wanly bowed,
And her eyes are misted stars!
And she speaks in voice that is sad as
There is duty still TO be done.
Tho the trumpet Of onset has spent us
breath,
And the battle been lost and WON;
And she points with tremulous hand be-
low,
To the wasted and worn array
OF the heroes who stroye 10 the morning
Oftfe era ndeur that crowned "the Gray"
God, they come not as once they came
In the mag cal ears OF yore:
For the trenchant sword and the soul o!
flame
Shall culver and flash no more.
Alas, for the broken and battered hosts;
Frau wrecks from CORY sea-
Tho pale as band from the realm OF ghosts,
salute them they fought with Lee
And gloried when dauntless Stonewau
marched
When the bow Of his splendid victories
aTched
The tempest whose rain is blood.
Salute them! those wistful and sunken
Flashed lightnings OF sacred ire,
When the laughing blue OF the southiahi
Was blasted with cloud and fire.
Salute them! Their voices so faint to-day
Were once the thunder Of strife.
In the storm OF the hottest and widest fray,
That ever has Knocked at NE!
Not vanquished, but crushed by mystic
fate, ,
Blind nations against them hurled.
by the selnsh might aud the causeiess
or the banded and ruthless world:
Enough: all Fates are the servants OF Cod,
And follow His guiding hand
We shall rise some day from the Chss'en-
Shall wsken and-understandi
hut bark to the Past as she murmurs,
Come,
There's a duty still TO be done.
THO mute is the drum, ana the busle
And the battle Is lost aud won't
M nalace is here for the heroes needs,
Win lis shining portals apart;
Shall they lind the peace OF tneir in'a-

in 1886. Up to 1917 he filled the chair Of
Anatomy and Physiology at Dartmouth.
He then assumed similar professor
ship at Harvard. He continues, in his
retirement, a resident of Boston.
1t would be difficult to say whether
DR.. Holmes enjoys greater distinction
as a physician or man of letters. Both
in the theory and practice of medicine
he has achieved the most brilliant sue
cess. His graceful and polished style
invests the dryest topics with peculiar
charm, and makes him one of the best
known and most popular Of American
writer's.
His earliest work in verse was in
the form Of contributions to the Cole
gian, paper published by undergradu-
ates at Harvard. He has written many
verses with college anniversary occa-
sions as their subject. The problems
created by the interdependence Of mind
and matter have employed DR.. Holiness
pen, both as he is a man Of science and
as literary man. In his "Currents
and Undercurrents in Medical Science"
and in Mechanism and Morals" he
deals with them from the scientific, and
in "Elsie Venner," q romance, from
the artistic standpoint. The Allan
tic Monthly had DR.. Holmes
among its founders, and 1.-THE
Autocrat OF the Breakfast Table Z"
appeared first in the pages of that psri-
odicsl. Several medical journals and
the North american Reriew and the
International Reciep have been en-.
riched by contributions from the versa
tile Doctor, who seems to be equally
ready for profound disquisition on a
wide range Of subjects and for the COM
position Of those tribes" which will
always be treasured as expressions of
genius. Who does not know the One
Horse Shay" and the September
Gale"? The apt sweetness Of his sen.
timental verses is appreciated by all
readers Of taste.
Though in his seventy-seventh year
DR.. Holmes is still hale and hearty,
looking very much as he has for lorty
years past.

To support the idea that mothers-in-
law bave never been favorably regarded
ethnologists tell us that singular Gus
tom, which enacts that man shall
never look upon the face Of his mother
jn-lsw after he is once married, prevails
amongst numerous savage peoples ap-
parently widely sundered by geographl.
cal distribution and differences Of race.
The custom obtains among the Caiires
of South Africa, among several OF
the Australian tribes, and among
many Poly nesisns, fact which some
people assume to point to a COM
mon origin of these races, but which
others look upon as testimony of the
existence Of natural law, as q piece
of wisdom Indigenous to each of these
countries, and the direct growth of in
diyidual experience. The custom being
found in such widely-separated con-
tinents as Africa and Australia is con-
sidered as proving that it must have
been suggested by some common ne
cessity Of human nature, and reasons
are not wanting to show why
savages discovered it was better
for a man not to look upon his mother
in.law. Primarily, say the supporters
of this theory, because his mother-in.
law was a picture in anticipation of
what his wife was likely to be. Before
marriage a mans mind may not be open
to the cold processes of comparison, but
afterwards he begins to consider what
sort of bargain he has made, aud II
his mother-in-law has not improved
with age, the CHASTITY possibility of his
wife becoming like her rises before him.
Hence these savage tribes prescribe the
rule that never after marriage should a
man see his mother-in-law, and this
in time became social law or custom.

OUR VISITOR TO ENGLAND,
Oliver Wendell Holmes. Nov I'm ''The
Old Country"

Oliver Wendell Holmes is delighting
the English, who have always read his
contributions to literature with appre.
citation. He has not been in :" the old
country" for about fly years until
now. The genial, alert old gentleman
is not less young in feeling than he was
when another generation Of cultured
English people received him into their
homes.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, poet, physi-
clan, and humorist, was born in 1909,
in the old gambrel-roofed" house in
Cambridge. Mass, opposite the Har-
ward University buildings. His father,
Rev. Abiel Holmes, d. d., was an emf
nent preacher, and was long pastor Of
the First Congregational church OF
Cambridge. DR.. Holmes graduated at
Harvard in 1929, and, adopting the
medical profession, completed his studies
