Every time he tried to close the door
the elf, as he had called her, thrust a
miserable, ragged arm in and prevented
him.
''I'll ring for the police" he said, saw
agely, ''if you don't go away"
''Oh, please, sir, give me a little some
thin to keep us from staryin'-a bit of
bread that's fit to eat, or a dime to buy
loaf; the shops where live are open,
sir, yit."
Late passers-by heard the curious dia-
logue and loitered. Silas Marks ierked
the door open and laid rough hand on
the child. She cringed at his touch.
''Oh, l amt goin' to hurt you, We beg
gar's brat. Come inside and let me see
what's in that basket. I'll give We
neither nickel or dime, but if there's a
crust left may throw you that"
The child stood inside the hall, and by
the fiaring light of the candle seemed to
be about nine years old-a wan, childish
little creature, dressed In rags; her long,
thin legs encased in torn, black stock
ings, and miserable apology for a
shawl thrown over her head; her

'Then to morrow morning early. wife.
Before the neighbors stirring about,
Send the basket over the way with John.
Twill be heavy you say. Well, John is
stout.
Let him take bag of potatoes along,
And 'grist' of flour-it's the staff Of life.''
That night the widow read the Psalm:
1.-THE Lord is my Shepherd, 1 shall not
want
And then she bowed her aged head,
While Faith took wings for an upward
mount
AS she prayed-"Give me my daily bread;
Oh Lord, Thou knowest how poor am"
Next morn she was busy laying her plan
For little feast of her own that day;
A slice of toast and q cup of tea,
When step was heard in the passage-way
And CHEEKY voice saying: It's only me;
The folks have sent you something down
To make you a dinner, Widow Gray:
And best of all there's nothing to pay.
This ten-dollar bill-dont stare so hard
Squire said you could use it, he knew you
could;
And this isn't all, for out in the yard
There's taters and turnips and flour and
wood"
Then the widow knelt and meekly said:
Lord, have more than my daily bread"
And John as he turned to go away,
Saw her pale lips move and heard her say:
Its just like him-God bless the man.
That night the Squire sat in his chair
Reading chapter before he prayed
While an unseen One stood with book and
pen
And wrote, while smile on his visage
played:
BLESSED is he who loveth his fellow ner,
And sendeth an answer along with his
prayer

THE FLYING DUTCHMAN.
Tradition Originated by Superstitious
and Ignorant Sailors.

A Tradition Originated by Superstftious
and Ignorant Sailors.
The atmosphere in the vicinity of the
Cape of Good Hope has that peculiar
power of unequal refraction, similar to
that known to exist on the boundless
prairies of Kansas, Nebraska and Da-
kota. This often gives rise to spectral
loomings, or apparent suspension in the
air of ships which can not be seen on the
surface of the water. The phantom
like ships suspended in mid-air proba-
bly, gave rise to the legend Of the ely
ing Dutchman," according to which a
Dutch captain, homeward bound from
the East Indies, met with long-contin-
ued bad weather, coupled with the wind
blowing dead ahead" At the time he
was making an effort to 'sturn the Horn"
he was advised by the mate and the sail
ors to turn back and seek shelter until
the gale was over, but this he refused
to do, swearing that he would turn the
cape" If he had to beat there until the
day of Judgment. For this profanity,
according to the tradition, he was
doomed to beat against the winds for
ever. His sails are believed to have
become bleached with age, and his
ships sides to have become rotten and
worm-eaten in his long struggle, and
himself and crew reduced to mere skele-
tons. They have not the strength to
heave or lower a boat, but occasionally
the captain is said to hail passing ves-
sells, imploring rescue for himself and
crew from such terrible fate, or, at
least, to take letters home to Fader-
land. The tradition of the ssFlyinp
Dutchman" originated, without doubt,
as was noted at the opening of this arti-
Gle, through ignorant sailors viewing
mirages with awe-stricken, supersti.

CHRISTMAS WORRY.
Why the Holidays Are Burden and
Wear to Mind and Body.

Why the Holidays Are Burden and
Wear to Mind and Body.
When what was designed to be
pleasure becomes burden, it is time to
stop and examine it carefully, and see if
it is the thing itself which has grown to
be such weight, or whether it is SIM
ply an awkward manner of carrying it.
Certainly there must be something
wrong in any celebration of Christmas
which results in serious fatigue of mind
and body. During the first three
months of the year nothing is more COM
monty given as a reason for ill-health
than an overstrain during the holidays
''She got so worn out at Christmas" or
''She worked too hard in finishing her
Christmas presents or ''The week be-
fore Christmas she was tired out with
shopping" are excuses which appear as
surely as January and February come.
The question must occur sometime to
every one, whether all this worry and
wear of heart and hand and brain are
really worth while. Is there not
some better way of celebrating this
day of days than for women to wear
themselves out in making or buying
pretty trifles for people who already
have more than they can find room for?
Setting aside all effort Of eyes and fin
gers. the mental strain is intense. 1t is
remarkable fact that, although Christ
mas has been kept on the 18th day OF
December for more than one thousand
years, it's arrival seems as unexpected
as if it had been appointed by the
President. No one is ready for it, al
though last year every one resolved to
be so, and about the middle o. December
there begins rush and hur~T which is
really more wearing than a May moving
Above all things, if you give presents,
be more anxious to give something
which supplies a want than to send
some pretty trifle which can only prove
in the end an additional care. There
are numberless things which can be
procured, without wear and tear of
mind and body which make the recipient
feel as David did of the water from the
we'll of Bethlehem, that what costs so
much was too valuable to be accepted

Coffee for a Penny a Cup.

ST was thinking just now" said a
gray-haired man, who stood with his
coat collar turned up near where one Of
the drop-a-penny-in-the- water-cool-
ers used to be in Independence Square,
'sthat it would be good scheme to have
hot coffee in tanks placed about town
in cold weather so that chap with q
penny or two could warm up once in q
while. You know there are cans made
to keep coffee hot for twenty-four hours.
They have them in Boston. They use
cork. believe, to pack around the can.
Well, the coffee tanks wouldn't need any
more attention than the ice-watcr cool
ers. Then on cold morning q fellow
could drop penny in the slot and get q
cup of coffee. Don't you think it's q
great scheme?''-Philadelph Inquirer.

what does a fifty-dollar check look like?

paper 'sSee! This is one, signed and

here, and I'll go with you to IDENTIFY

s.But what am I to do with it?'

Bessie's eyes dropped, flush came
into her cheeks. She rose from the
sofa and put two loving arms about her
gruff old uncle's neck.
"'You are DEAR" she said, as she
kissed his rugged cheek, land you shall
just see for yourself the happiness you
have made"
''There, there, child, get on your
things, and we'll go and get the cash. l

locks over her white face and that
looked almost CHASTITY IN it's setting of

''If that bread amt no good I don't
want it. All our food is n. G. You kin

well, baggage, DO you expect mince

Marks, in high sarcasm.
'.Oh, sir, wouldn't that be bu-fne!
Wese folks don't never get nothin' like
that-we don't"
AN you won't git it here, and if you
won't take a loaf of bread that's good
enough for me you kin get out at once"
He opened the door cautiously, but she
made no attempt to move. Instead of
going out she dropped her wretched
bashe On the floor and drew her tattered
shawl closer about her.
''You won't give me nuthin'? You, a
rich gentleman, offer me a loaf of stale
bread. There is a whole family starving
in the row where 1 came from. What
have you to give to them?'
Silas Marks was frightened; he looked
into the face of the uncanny child and
his dry lips formed one word:
'.Nuthin'."
"Your Master, yes, Mr.. Rich Man,
your Master said: The poor ye have al
ways with ye.' And He said: Feed my
lambs Have you done it?"
The voice seemed to have risen into
the air above his head. Every note was
as clear and distinct as a bell.
'.Shrouds have no pockets" continued
his strange guest. ''When you go-and
it won't be long, Silas Marks, it won't
be long-you will have to leave all your
houses and lands and gold. And when
you go to the judgment they won't ask
for your rent-roll, but there'u be ques-
tons hard to answer. Can you answer
when the King shall say:
I was a-hungered and We gave me meat;
Twas thirsty and we gave me drink;
was stranger and We took me in
'Get right out, l tell your shrieked
Silas, but he did not lay the weight of
his lean finger on the beggar child.
Elbow will you meet that dear mother
who fed the hungry and clothed the
naked, and that other-I see her now
your poor. unhappy wife,"
Silas Marks turned in such mortal
fright that the candle fell from his
trembling hand and went out on the
floor.
''You have time to repent" came the
voice, and it sounded supernatural in
the dark. "Come down to the narrow
river streets tomorrow and find the
people who have no food and no fire
the little children with not enough to
eat and shivering in their wretched
homes-the sick and deformed and
wretched, whom God gives to you and
such as you for an offering, in the name
of Him who was once homeless child.
1t is only what you give that you can
take with you beyond this life
The door closed and all was silent.
Trembling in every limb, Silas Marks
hurried to relight the candle. Yes, she
had been there. The miserable, rickety
basket with crust of bread and a sod
den potato in it was left behind.
The next day Bessie Van Pelt was laid
up on the sofa in the library at home
suffering from slight cold when Uncle
Silas walked in.
Glow bright an cheerful you do look,
he said, warming his numbed hands over
the light coal fire.
