"FoR MY SAKE

Three little words, but words full Of tenderest
feeling
Three little words, the heart can scarcely hold;
Three little words, but on their import dwelling,
What wealth of love their syllables unfold!
For my sake" cheer the suffering, help the needy;
On earth this was my work; 1 give it thee.
If thou wouldst follow in thy Masters footsteps
Take up my cross and come learn of Me.
"For my sake" let the harsh word die unuttered
That trembles on the swift impetuous tongue:
That rises when thy brother does thee wrong
"For my sake" press with steadfast patience on
ward
Although the race be hard, the battle long.
Within My Fathers house many mansions;
There thou shalt rest and Join the victor's song
And if in coming days the world revile thee,
If 'for my sake thou suffer pain and loss
Bear on faint heart; thy Master before thee
They only wear His crown who share His cross

vexed her eyes as she sat at meat IN the
dining-room. She had purposed a like
Punishment for Lady Agatha, but here
Charlie had interceded, and the unhappy
beauty still hung behind his mothers chair
and opposite his own. 1t was Just to re-
member that but for poor Agatha's fault
and fate the present branch might never
have enjoyed the honors at ali; so Charlie
urged to Lady Merceron, catching at any
excuse for keeping Lady Agatha. Lady
Merceron's way Of Judging pictures may
seem peculiar, but the fact is that she
lacked what is called the sense of
historical perspective; she did not see
why our ancestors should be treated
so tenderly and allowed, with a
charitable reference to the change in man
ners forgiveness for what no one to-day
could hope to win pardon. Mr.. Vansit-
tart Merceron smiled at his sister-in-law
and shrugged his shoulders; but in vain.
To the smoking-room went the last Lord
Warmley, and Lady Agatha was remark
ably lucky in that she did not follow him.
Mr.. Vansittart, half brother to the late
Sir Victor, and twenty years younger than
he, was a short, thickset man, with a
smooth, round, white face, and way of
speaking so deliberate and weighty that it
impaired momentousness to nothings and
infallibility to nonsense. When he really
had something sensible to say, and that
was fairly often, the effect was enormous.
He was now A, widower, well off by his
marriage, and a member of Parliament.
Naturally, Lady Merceron relied much on
his advice, especially in what concerned
her son; she was hazy about the charac-
tiers and needs of young men, not knowing
how they should be treated or what APP
pealed to them, and, amid her haziness,
one fact only stood out clear. To deal with
a young man you wanted a man of the
world. In this capacity Mr.. Vansittart
had now been sent for to the Court, the OBJ
ject of his visit being nothing less than the
arrangement and satisfactory settlement of
Charles future.
Mr.. Vansittart approached the future
through the present and the past. You
wasted your time at school, you wasted
your time at Oxford, you're wasting your
time now" he remarked when Charlie and
he were left alone after dinner.
Charlie was looking at Lady Agatha S

sign there was-a long hatpin lay on the
floor. Charlie picked it up with a sad
smile.
"Agatha's," be said to himself
And yet, as every one in the neighbor-
hood knew. poor Agatha Merceron went
nightly TO her phantom death bareheaded
and with golden locks tossed by the wind
Moreover, the pin was of modern manu-
facture; moreover ghosts do not wear
but there is no need to enter on debatabIe
ground-the pin was utterly modern
"Now, if Uncle Van" unused Charlie
"came here and saw this" He carefully
put the pin in his breast pocket and looked
at his watch. 1t was exactly Agatha Mer-
ceron's time; yet Charlie leaned back on
his cold marble seat, put his hands in his
pockets and gazed up at the ceiling with
the happiest possible smile on his face
For one stepped in family legends, wor-
Shipping the hapless lady's memory with
lever in her ghostly wanderings, he awaited
her coming with marvellous composure
In point of fact, he had forgotten all about
her and there was nothing to prevent her
coming, slipping down the steps and noise
lessly into the water, all unnoticed by him.
His eyes were glued to the ceiling, the
smile played on his lips, his ears were filled
with sweet echoes and his thoughts were
far away, Perhaps the dead lady came and
passed unseen. That Charlie did not see
her was ridiculously slight evidence where
on TO damp so ancient and picturesque a
legend. He thought the same himself, for
that night at dinner-he came in late for
dinner-he maintained the credit of the
story with fierce convistion against Mr.
Nanslttart Merceron's scepticism.

Myriads of Them Stop Railroad Trains
in Turkestan and Northern Africa.
A train in Russian Turkestan was re-
Gently stopped by caterpillars. Near
Kew an army of these creatures was
crossing the track, making Decline
for the nearest gardens, where it was
their intention to have a good time
stripping the young vegetables of their
leaves. When the train struck the mass
the wheels crushed them into paste
but before it had made much progress
they began to slip in the greasy stuff and
the train came to standstill. Another
locomotive had to be sent for to get the
cars away from the slaughtered innocents
Meanwhile it is said that the uniniured
caterpillars stood up by the side of the
track and made faces at the engineer. 1t
will be remembered that some Western
trains in this country had a similar expe-
rience with grasshoppers during the last
plague of these insects.
In Algeria they have to keep a sharp
lookout for snails, for the same reason.
Only short time ago. on the line from
Sioux to Arba-Blzerte, a train was de-
tanned forty minutes by these creatures,
which had come out in myriads during

probably could happen nowhere but in
Northern Africa, where snails are so
abundant that they often constitute as
serious plague as do the locusts. They

therefrom like punches of grapes. 1t is
not known whether they are of the edible
variety if SO, the Algerians should not

CHAPTER II.

In the old days the Mercerons had been
great folk. They had held the earldom of
Langbury and the barony of Warmlev. a
| failure OF direct descent in the male line
extinguished the earldom; the Lady Aga
tina was the daughter of the last Earl, and
would have been Baroness Warmley had
she lived. On her death that title passed
to her cousin, and continued in that branch
! TIL the early days of the present century.
Then came another break. The Lord
Warmley of that day, a Regency dandy,
had son, but not one who could inherit
ms honors, and away went the barony to
a yet younger branch, where, falling few
years later into female hands, it was
merged IN brand-new viscounty and was
now waiting till chance again should re-
store 1t TO an independent existence. From
the MercerOnS of the Court it was gone
forever, and the blot on their escutcheon
which lost it to them was a sore point,
from which it behooved visitors and friends
to refrain their tongues. The Regent had
indeed, with his well-known good nature,
offered baronetcy to hide the stain, but
pride forbade, and the Mercerons now held
no utles, save the modest dignity which
Charlles father, made a K c. B. for
services in the Northwest provinces had
left behind him to his widow. But the old
house was theirs and a comfortable rem
nant OF the lands, and the pictures of the
extinct Earls and Barons down to him
whose sins had robbed the line of its sur
vlving rank, and left it in position, from a

the subject that she banished this last

On the evening of the next day, while the
sun was still on the Pool and its waters,
forgetful of darker moods and bygone trag-
edies, smiled under the tickling or darling
golden CLEANS, girl sat on the broad low
est step of the temple. She had rolled the
sleeves of her white gown above her elbow,
up ll-nigh to her shoulder, and, the after
noon being sultry, from time to time dipped
her arms in the water, and, taking them
out again, amused herself by watch
ing the bright drops race down to
her rosy finger tips. The sport was
good, apparently, for she laughed
and flung back her head SO that
the stray locks of hair might not spoil
her sight of it. On either side of this lowest
step there was a margin of smooth, level
grass, and being unable as she sat to battle
both arms at once, presently she moved on
to the grass and lay down, sinking her ell
bows in the Pond and leaning her face
over the edge of it. The posture had an
other advantage she had not thought of,
and she laughed again when she saw her
own eyes twinkling at her from the depths.
As she lay there longing came upon her

As, however, he had come every evening
for fortnight past the fancy was not to be
INDUCED in, and she consoled herself by a.
deeper dive yet of her arms and by droop-
ing her head till her nose and the extreme
fringe of her eyelasheS were Wetted and
the stray locks f1oated on either side.
Presently as she still looked she saw
another shadow on the water and ex-
changed with her image confidential

Eager to Marry st sevensy-sight.

Seyenty-eight years old and as impa- tient to get married as youth of 20 is the remarkable record of Charles Sang ster, veteran inmate of the Naval home on Gray's Ferry road His wife, who had lived with him for 40 years. died two years ago, and about a month ago the old man began an active search for new partner. Through some friends he heard of the Widow Robinson, child less and 88 years old He called on her at 130 Mcclellan street week ago, and in 10 minutes talk both agreed that marriage was the only proper thing for them
 When the ardent lover stated his age to Marriage License Clerk Bird yester- day., that official hesitated and decided it best to see the other of the contract ing parties. Sangster was disappointed, but insisted on paying the 50 cents in advance and promised to return with his wife to be next week. Sangster was born in London in October, 1916, and enlisted in the United States navy early in the forties, serving through both the Mexican war and the rebellion.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
The Man With tho Jag Wanted His Cat,
 but Preferred His Ride.

The Man With tho Jag Wanted His Cat,
 but Preferred His Ride.
 He was irreproachably dressed in dark gray frock coat and trousers, white waistcoat and patent leather shoes. A tall white hat and large but dignifed jag completed his outfit. He boarded an up town Broadway car near Canal street, New York. . few nights ago. The car was not crowded, and nearly every one took good look at the new passenger He was man of 50. His Dundreary whiskers were carefully trimmed, but he wore his hat at a somewhat rakish angle. It was not so much his appear ance as the sociable, pleasant way in which he greeted his fellow passengers that caused him to be the center of at traction. A mangy looking old tramp tabby cat, which he carried fendly in his arms. was what caught the eye of the passengers. In very few moments after he had raised his hat and said, 'Ev'nin, ladies and gen 'lemen, :" and Topped Into seat, the conductor was alongside.
 You can't carry that animal on this car, said he of the brass cheek and but tons.
 "Hio-why?" asked the owner of the cat.
 Cause it's agin the rules. That's why" WAS the answer.
 What do I care for the rules? It's my cat, and she goes with me- '
 "Then you'll have to get off the car, said the conductor. An Englishman then volunteered the information that the rules did not apply to cats, but only to dogs.
 It applies to all live stock, '3 insisted the conductor.
 How about this?' said s man, pro- ducing small turtle.
 Then the Englishman settled the dis pute, az he thought, in the way. He said, Dogs is dogs, and cats is dogs but turtles is hinsects.
 By this time the car had reached Houston street The conductor thon sig naled to an inspector. The inspector said that the cat would have to be put off the car.
 "Can I ride without the eat?" queried the owner of the animal. Yes, " was the ready response. Well, then, that's easily settled, '' aud with that the man who had caused all the trouble fung the offending cat through an open window into the street. t.-New York Sun.

Last Saturday was coming down from Cleveland over the Big Four, and while glancing out of thewindow I saw a blow that was certainly curiosity to me. Originally it had been common blow, but the fertile genius of some farmer had been at work upon it. He had attached an upright frame to the blow beam and had covered the top of this with fancy colored cloth. The GOV ering extended far enough back to allow him to walk under it and be completely protected fromxthe rays of the sun. ''~- Louisville Courier-Journal

THOMAS HENRY HUYLEY

In the death of Prof. Huxley the scientific world loses one of it's brightest lights. Perhaps no name in modern science is more widely known than his.
 Though eminent as an investiga- tor, Prof. Huxley's greatest service to the world has been the populariz- ing of scientific truths. His own discoveries were always given to the public in simple language which all could understan and he it was who first gave Darwin's theory of evolution wide circulation, stripped of its technicalities. He was a pro- nounced evolutionist, although he was not in all respects Darwinian.
 The study of natural science affects the religious beliefs of different men in widely different ways. Some are never so thoroughly convinced of the existence of an all-wise power as when they reflect upon the wonder ful phenomena of life. Others, like Romanes, pass through a period ot doubt or unbelief and emerge at last firm believers. Prof. Huxley's atti- tude was that of agnosticism. He was not by any means an atheist; he simply disclaimed all knowledge of what seemed to him unknowable. The criticisms to which he was sub- jected and his spirited replies tended, perhaps, to overemphasize his heter- odoxy.
 It is interesting to note that Prof. Huxley rejected the Darwinian theory of constant struggle for life as necessary factor in continued evolution. He held that in the case of civilized man self-sacrifce took the place of the struggle for life as a factor in progress. In other words, his view was that accepted by Prof. Drummond and the other Christian evolutionists.
