If you answer in reply that the evil play
OF antognistic forces as at present We
have them in society must then be the
only solution and that the fittest will
survive in this free play of brute force,
ask the simple question: Do the fittest
actually survive in your present society?
Are not those who are most deserving
crushed? Do not the unworthy succeed?
Does not wrong triumph for the time and
injustice reign? The answer is not far to
seek. We know these are facts.
While communism holds no answer to
the problem, SO long as we believe in
Christianity, SO long will We hold that
there is an answer, full, rich, complete.

Finally, having struck fire from the
audience by these skillful and well-di-
rected blows until the glow could be
seen and felt in all parts of the house,
North glided neatly and effectively in
to the elaborate theme that had been
announced for him.
1t has been sometimes advanced as
an axiom In oratory, founded on the ex-
perience Of many famous public speak
ers, that there can be no signal success
promised to any orator who does not
approach his audience with feeling Of
difidence amounting even 10 stage
fright. Granting this TO be correct,
there was o brilliant promise OF success
In the frame Of mind with which Allan
North entered upon his address. Dur
Ing all the time he was speaking with
such ease and fuency he was watching
the audience with keepness that
would have detected the slightest evi-
dence Of an unfavorable impression;
and 1t was no doubt due In part to this
intense interest and concentration Of his
own thought upon the audience that he
held them In such close sympathy and
attention. The very novelty of his sit
uation, instead of embarrassing him,

he prevailed upon Fred Walker, one Of

to draw the picture for his posters. The

engravers Of his time, man who rare

picture was the talk Of the kingdom.

seemed to afford him peculiar inspira-
ton, and as by degrees he gained con-
fdence from the hearty applause that
he received he gave himself up to the
influences and illusions Of the moment,
and threw himself, heart and soul, into
what he was saying.
SO completely was he swept along by
the force of his own imagination that
he quite forgot he was not the. man
whom everyone In that large audience
firmly believed him to be; and instead
of a comedy played of necessity for his
own convenience, the whole affair be-
came to him, for the time, an important
and dignifed reality. He grew earnestly
interested in his theme, and after
sketching with vivid oratory all the pos
sibilities that lay in the future, when
the commercial and manufacturing In
terests, now in their infancy, the edu-
cational facilities, the natural advan-
tages Of Z were fully developed, he
closed with strong and eloquent plea
for justice, liberty and morality, with
out which no enduring prosperity could
be attained.
The assembly were held In state Of
almost breathless attention from the
beginning TO the close Of the address,
and when finally with brilliant pero-
ration that led by rapid degrees to an
eloquent climax, the speaker bowed his
farewell to the audience, they broke
forth into storm Of applause that
rained down from the galleries and
swept In tempestuous waves over the
house.
1t was unquestionably the most as
founding success that Allan North had
ever achieved; and when II was all over
his astonishment fairly balanced his re-
lief.
AS soon rs he could escape from the
admiring populace, who showered COM
pliments and congratulations upon him
and insisted on shaking hands with him,
after the impulsive custom of the aver
age American, he was carried off TO his
hotel by his two right-hand men, Clip
per and Warner, who seemed to feel as
much pride in his manner Of acquitting
himself as II they had shared the
achievement.
BEST thing you ever did, North"
was Clippers verdict, as he parted from
North at the hotel. "Gets away with

pened, q tall, solemn man made q short
address In which he said great many
sensible things in very tiresome,
mournful, utterly unimpassioned way
which had soporific effect upon the
audience and set even the best-inten-
toned ones to yawning surreptitiously.
He was listened TO unresponsively until
he closed his remarks with the an
nounccment that "he would now yield
the floor TO others who would occupy
IL more acceptably." Then the audi
toeium rang with the loud applause,
which might have been construed either
as q hearty indorsement Of his final
statement or as the involuntary ex-
preston Of the self-congratulation of
the audience for two separate and dis
tinct causes, to-wit: First, that the
gentleman's remarks had been brief
and, secondly, that tho gcntleman's re,
marks were now ended.
He was followed by several other
speakers, Of that class so well known

che fieeting vision Of one who, II she
were not In very truth the proud and
beautiful Myra who had once reigned
royalty in his heart and who now lived
In his bitterest memory, was so strange
ly like her that the sight Of her face had
thrilled him with sudden passion-that
one moment, full OF keen pain, Of eager,
mad hope, he had lived over and over
again, solacing himself thus until the
moment should come when he could
change this suspense to certainty.
In the meantime, speculation was
rife. II 1t were really she, his Myra,
by what strange fatality did they meet
here in x? And why should she be
with Mrs Maynard2 By what curious
freak Of fortune were these two women,
whose interests had become so closely
interviewer with his own, though he
had never before suspected their mutual
connection, thus thrown together2
OF course his reflections on this point
were mere fruitless conjecture; never
theless they possessed great fascina-
ton for him, and even his satisfaction
at having solved the mystery 30 long
enveloping Annie Dupont was quite
eclipsed 'by this far deeper personal
feeling.
He did not, however, lose sight Of the
necessity for caution; and for the pres
emit he realized that his professional In
terests must be paramount. The flower
success, which he hoped to pluck, was
still just little beyond his reach and
surrounded by the nettle uncertain

close his eyes to all other allurements
even though his only chance, or hope
of happiness lay within them.
1t was therefore solely In pursuance
Of his professional duties--or 80 he as
sured himself with great emphasis
that he went on the morning following

to this conclusion by a remark she
made a moment ago.
"As left her door she said 10 me;
It's no use for you to call there; she
was never known TO give anyone q
bite, and she is sure to send you away
hungry In reply I said to her: IT
may be you are mistaken. Probably

serves to be treated and l haven't the

observer would call tramp. The lady
at the door Of whose home he had called
replied: "Did she say that9"

say, ma'am."

he was well satisfied with the result he
was achieving.-Chicago Times.

CHAPTER Xv.-CoNTnuED
North was in recklessly high spirits
now, and he greeted his caller with q
torrent Of lively nonsense. Weighed
down by the responsibilities devolving
upon him as a member Of the executive
committee, and disappearing Of North's
levity on so important an occasion,
Warner was In no mood TO appreciate
this nonsense, and his answers were
short, business like and far between.
Consequently something like serious
ness had settled down over North be-
fore they had walked two squares to-
gether. 1t was only the outward SEM
blance, however; his inward mood was
one of reckless mirth and daring-a
mood upon which he confidently de-
pended TO carry him through the even
ing. t.
The pretty little opera house was
crowded from pit to gallery when North
stepped out on the stage in the full
blaze of the foot lights. He was well
coined cordially by the gentlemen there
assembled, members of the executive
committee and distinguished citizens
who had been specially invited to
grace the stage with their presence.
As he was responding to this welcome
the audience discovered him, and in
stantly murmur of enthusiasm swept
over the house, eliminating in storm
of applause that made North look
around inyoluntarily, though he did
not think Of appropriating the compli-
ment until Warner, who was just at his
elbow, whispered sharply: 49,
'sWhy don't you acknowledge your
reception, North? For goodness sake,
do keep your wits about you better
than thisl'' AZ yhE'
Thus admonished, North turned 70
the audience with profound bow,
which was greetedwith fresh bursts Of
applause; then. as the ehsirmsh "a
pompous old gentleman whose lengthy
list of titles, all with the prefix "Ex, y
testified to long life Of active public
services, now gracsfully laid aside
rose to call the meeting to order, North
took refuge in an arm chair In retired
position on the stage, where, though an
inconspicuous figure himself, he could
command comprehensive view Of the
house, and settled himself with slight
shrug and with feelings that can be
more easily imagined than described,
to survey the large audience who were
soon to hang spell-bound, so he humbly
ventured to hope, upon his eloquent ut
terances.
After the brief preliminary remarks
of the chairman, which were received
with q good-natured demonstration, as
II the audience at least had assembled
