Here he spoke of the soldiers re-
sources from the Egyptian pipes
and stones to the modern gun
and the drill or the Earmy.
He then spoke of of the Christians
resources, and how all the armies
of the skies and the weapons of the
universe We're his, and how the an
gel of the Lord encampeth around
about them that fear him and saves
them. Having the shield Of faith,
we should be shOd with the prepa-
ration Of the gospel Of peace. Next
he spoke Of the necessity Of con-
slant watchfulness, and drew a
picture of a sentinel shot on duty.
Not so in the Christian army, but
we must be Watchful. Then the

The Legend Of stayocn.

Here is strange tale culled from an
old treasury of interesting facts which
illustrates how impetuosity sometimes
wreaks ruin that is irretrievable.
Three hundred years ago Stavoren was
one OF the busiest and richest towns on
the Zuyder Zee. To-day it is known
as one of the dead cities" of Holland.
And this is how this mighty change
has been wrought: The haven is
barred by band called the ''Lady's
Sandbank," and thereby, according to
local tradition, hangs the tale of the
ruin OF Stavoren. In the height of its
greatest prosperity a naughty, purse
proud woman, wife of one of the
wealthiest merchants of the place, bade
the captain of one of her husbands
ships to bring her one of the most
precious things in the world" The
honest sailor brought the dame cargo
of wheat from Dantzig-what he con-
sidered, and rightly, too, the most
precious thing in the world. Angry at
his stupidity" as the vain lady
thought it, she ordered the wheat to be
thrown verboard at the harbor's
mouth, whereupon the grain took root
and laid the foundation of the vast
grass bank that killed the trade of
Stavoren. Harper's Young People.

Il sec," said the man with the GIN
ger beard, ''that feller down in Texas
has been foolin' the snakes that was
stealin' his hen eggs by film 'em up on
these here porcelain nest eggs that is
got up to make hen wear herself out
for the good O. tyrant man.
Yes" said the grocer, 81 read about
it. 1t appears to work pretty well, too !"
'It may work down in Texas" said
the man with the ginger beard, "but if
that feller has the experience of a
neighbor of mine out in Newbrasky
with that trick it'll be cold day for
him and his sufferin, weepin' family.
This here feller, he tried foolin' snakes
that way oncet too often for his own
good"
A small boy came in, bought cents
worth of candy, two cents worth of
peanuts and two fishhooks, told the
grocer to charge it to pap" and got
out before the merchant could enter a
protest The man with the ginger beard
continued.
This feller, as / said jist as that
there wholesale rush of business be-
gan, fixed up them chaney eggs for the
snakes, and the very first morning he
went out to his henhouse he found a
big blacksnake seven foot eight inches
long, with one of the eggs down his
neck about six inches. You ought to
heard that feller laugh at the Joke he
had on the snake He didn't laugh
long, for as soon as the snake figured
out how he had been deceived he raises
hisself on his tail and fetches the man
such swipe alongside the head that it
jist laid him out cold. You see, the
serpint 'peared to realize that he was
jist as good livin' blackjack or billy
as could be got up. He knowed that
there egg was too heavy to be the real
thing, and he knowed he had the ma
terial for strikin' powerful blow,
which he done it, then and there"
"Did the feller get wellp" asked the
grocer.
Eyes, he got well-sorter-but he
didn't never seem to have good sense

"Say!" said the grocer.
"Well?"
"Air you the feller?"

without protest. The passengers
stuck their heads through the coach
doors just in time to receive an invita-
ton from the voice among the rocks to
step down and line up with their hands
over their heads The order was
promptly obeyed. When they were in
line Black Bart, holding revolver in
one hand and the lasso in the other,
stepped out from among the powders
and came down to where the coach
stood.
After binding the guard securely he
proceeded to relieve the passengers of
their money and valuables, tossing the
plunder into big sombrero that he
had set crown down by the side of the
road. In the pockets of one of the pas
sengers he found a pack of playing
cards. He threw them with the rest
OF his booty into his hat. When he had
finished searching the passengers he
said:
You can put your hands down now,
gentlemen. 1t must be kinder awkward
standin' in that position I'm sorry to
put you to so much trouble, but, you
see, had to have money, and 1 thought
that this would be pretty good crowd
to strike. Pm kinder ashamed of nv
self to put so pretty woman as this
lady is to SO much trouble"
The highwayman smiled apologetic-
ally on the young school-teacher, who
astonished her fellow-passenger by
smiling back at the robber, and saying:
Don't worry yourself, Bart. It was
no inconvenience at all"
You know me?" said Bart, inquir-
ingly.
I've heard you described so often
that feel pretty we'll acquainted with
you, replied the school-teacher.
The highwayman appeared to feel
fattered II admire your spunk," he
said. Most women faint when they
see me-"
II never saw man yet that I'd faint
for" replied the woman, to the horror
OF her fellow passengers, who were
afraid she would anger Bart and drive
him to some desperate end. A second
or two later they were stricken dumb
with amazement when she said:
Bart, I'll bet you that I can beat
you one deal at stud poker. If 1 don't
you may kiss me. If do, you must let
this coach and its passengers go on
with their property without further
trouble. Will you do it?"
The proposition staggered Bart for
an instant, but he recovered himself,
and, laughing heartily, said:
"Waal. miss, you beat any woman
ever came across before. never kiss
a woman unless she's willin'. but if you
want to take them chances I'll play
you, but I reckon you've givin' me the
best of the bargain"
The woman intimated that she was
really anxious to play for those stakes,
and preparations were made for the

game. 1t was agreed that the driver
should deal the cards, and Bart insist
ed that the half dozen passengers
should stand up in a, row twenty PAGES
away, so that he might detect any at
tempt at treachery. The teacher seat
ed herself on mail-pouch that Bart
had dragged out for that purpose, and
with his rifle resting across his lap he
settled himself on one knee a short dis
tance from her.
Z Opposite them and between the play
ers and the line of passengers the driver
sat down on the ground. Word was
given to start the game, and the driver
threw the first card to Bart, face
down. The next card fell at the feet
OF the school-teacher. Each player was
now entitled to four cards, to be dealt
faceup, and Bart caught the ace of
clubs, while to the teacher fell the sew
en- spot of diamonds. The highwayman
next caught the five-spot of hearts, and
his face flushed and he smiled con-
tdently, for the first card dealt to him
was five-spot, and he now held a pair.
The teacher drew the deuce of dia-
monds Bart showed his elation when
the next card that fell before him
proved to be the fve-spot of clubs He
now had three fives, and he was sure
the game was his. To the teacher fell
the four-spot of spades. Her luck was,
indeed, wretched, but she didn't seem
to be the least disconnected as she
looked over at Bart's pair of tives and
then down at her seven-spot high. The
last turn came, and the queen of clubs
fell in front of Bart and the seven-spot
ofspades was the teachers draw. She
had pair of seven-spots in sight.
Bart smiled. 'Your luck came late"
he said. "I'm afraid you'll lose the
kiss, for here is another five." He
turned up the first card and 1t gave him
three fves.
"You did well, SIR" said the teacher,
but I've got another seven spot here,
and ! believe three of these are better
than your fyes," She turned up the
rolf card and sure enough. it was a
seven spot,

mer Girl Revels.
The damsel who had certain verses
dedicated to her because her little feet
crept in and out "like mice beneath
her petticoat," has many modern imi-
tators. The act of creeping is not the
only part of the imitation either. The
mouseliie effect is heightened by the
mouse color of the low-cut suede shoes
or slippers and of the silk or isle
thread stockings. There are more
lovely things" as the enthusiast in
tootgear declares, in the line of gray
stockings this summer than the pen can
easily record.
There are fine lisle-thread stockings
with lines of solid gray alternating
with lines of half-woven gray. Silk
stockings also come in the same STYLE
Some of them have sort of lattice
work arrangement about the instep
and ankles that is very summerlike
Some are embroidered in the shades of
pink that seem made to go with gray
and some glitter with steel bead en-
broidery.u
Of course there are as many russet
and tan shades as there are russet and
tan shoes. They come in plain cotton,
in silk, in Isle thread; they come with
clocking and without; embroidered in
silk and severely plain.
There are stockings for every style
OF evening and morning slipper There
are red silk stockings for the morocco
shoes one girl INDUCES in, and bronze
colored stockings to be worn with an
others bronze shoes There are greens
for the young person who wears green

And, as usual, the stockings that are
most worn are thin black Isle thread

DEAR HEART, WHAT rHEN9

And we well may ask: "What thcn?"

Pain and woc--but perfect peace,
For the star Of Hope still wrinkles,

Just beyond our straining ken;
