him.

The Bow and the Candle

think | can understand the mental atti-
tude of the incendiaries who ave been
making life a burden to the people of New
York and Brooklyn recently. Well do | re-
member, when n boy more than big enough
to know better, taking a cndle ono evening
and going down to the cellar of the old
farmhouse where | lived. Then. with
many n furtiye peep to see that no one was
coming, l held the candle up to one of the
great beams which supported tho kitchen
floor. hewn and squared with tho broadaxe
i'll the good old days when wood was plenty,
until the curling tongues of flame began TO
lick the beam and reach upward to tho
flooring. Then l set the candle down. has
tily put out the fire and sneaked upstairs.
| had no more motive for doing all this
than the silly lad who caused so much
trouble in Brooklyn; wished to see if it
really would burn, perhaps.
