Two Old Orphans.

An old lady of 20 or more met an ac-
quaintance in a Boston horse car and
impaired to her The information that
she was intending 10 start shortly for
California, SAYS Youths Companion.
"My only daughter lives there" added
the old lady, land L want to be with

mans case was that of a ''contra-

NOT ANY MORE CAPITAL" THAN
THE Proposals to execute
murderers by means OF poisonous gases
will bring all the advocates and Inven-
tors OF water-gas works to the fray,
Just as the methods of capital punish
meut by electricity summoned repre-
seutatives from several lighting COM
pauies to testify to its DEMONSTRATING
qualities. There is too much capital
involved in the electricity arguments,
and, no doubt the water-gas folks would
be ready and eager to show how whole
families could live and thrive in the
midst of its escaping fumes Accord
ing TO such experts, the one thing that
their particular appliance will not do Is
10 kill. Dogs have been put to death,
1t is true, by some similar exhibition Of
gas to that proposed for criminal eXecu-
tions, but again will come the argu-
ment that has applied with such facility
to horses that you cannot argue from
beast to man 1t IS a mighty unsafe
thing, unless you are ready for the
avalanche, to suggest as means OF
human execution any agency that has a
business application. An invaded hor-

COMPLAINT was made after the ten.
emeut house fire, in New Y York, that
the fire escapes provided were merely
bail Onies connecting two adjoining
houses, tut without any ladders leading
from story 20 story. II has since been
found, however, that this kind of
escape WIS authorized, as il aught TO be,
for there Is nothing better. 1t Is equiv
alent To a tower escape entirely separate
from the building. When a fire breaks
out in one house the inmates can go
into an adjoining one through the
windows and be shut off by brick
wall om the burning structure. They
can then descend by the stairs 1t
would be a rare case where, at the
be- ginning of fire, both structures
should he in flames at one time. The
chief difficulty about such an escape is
that it leaves the adjoining structure
open to invasion at improper times by
neighbors. If that can be obvlated by
fastening down the balcony windows
to be broken in case of needl the bal
COMES common to two houses ought to
be popular.

THERE Is custom In vogue IN St
Thomas Church Sunday school, Ham
iltOn, Ontario, which, though perhaps
not peculiar To it alone, Is deserving of
notice auu commendatiOn- Every Sun
day those scholars who have an oppOr-
tunity and who feel so inclined bring
punches of flowers TO school with them.
These are collected at the opening of
the school, put in vases, and placed
upon the platform. At the close one
class, or certain members of one class,
are deputed to take the flowers to the
City Hospital, to decorate and brighten
the wards and cheer the lonely and suf-
fering ones confined there. No words
can too heartily commend this simple
and beautiful custom. Besides the
good work which the silent ministry of
flowers must exert upon the inmates of
the hospitals, the effect upon those who
join in the work, and thus contribute
to the happiness of others less fortunate
than themselves, cannot but be bene-
ticial. Those who bring sunshine and
a blessing into the lives of others must
and will have happiness and blessing
themselves

CHAPTER vi.


Captain Starbright stood biting his mus
tached lip without moving Had he not
known Lura Joyce so intimately he would
have thought nothing of her remark that
she Missed hotly in his ear. He knew the
determined nature Of the girl, however,
and realized that his plot for million was
about to be frustrated unless something
happened to remove Lura Joyce from his
path
Something must happen, was his men
tai decision.
He did not follow Miss Joyce into the
house, but walked down the steps and hur-
ried swiftly away to the stable. Here he
saddled one of his grays, led him forth, and
soon galloped swiftly down into the hollow,
then up the incline to the level ground be-
yond.
Before going mile the horseman turned
his animal into the thick bushes lining the
road, and after going short distance came
to halt and dismounted, securing the horse
TO a sapling.
az hope Mother CABRERA is at home" he
muttered. II have business OF an impor-
tant nature with her tonight"
He pushed through the bushes at rapid
pace, consuming half-hour's time, per-
haps, in following an ill-defned path, and
then halted in front of a log cabin built on
the edge Of deep gulch.
Night had now fallen, but light glowed
through the one front window, assuring the
Captain that an occupant was within. He
went at once and raped. When the door
opened in answer 10 his summons he
quickly crossed the threshold, and as II
closed behind him he found himself facing
an Unlocking crone, who had been engaged
in the interesting operation OF getting
solace from the stem Of a black clay pipe.
Ehl Cap'n Starbright as live" ejacu-
lated the female, resting the gaunt end OF
her under law on the end of her thumb as
she spoke, the pipe swinging TO and fro at
her side between the fingers Of her other
hand. :.
