SYNOPSIS.

John Oldroyd, a returned South African
millionaire, Is passing a few weeks at an
English village, having gone there from
London In search of relief from an attack
of rheumatism. On Christmas day he hnds
himself quite alone at the Fair View hotel.
Although not usually fond of company. he
Is seized with the wish to have COM
panion at his Christmas dinner. sad mem-
.ories Of his past life depressing him more
than ordinarily. He goes down 30 the
coffee room and inquiries If there Is any
other guest at the hotel. AS he Is speak
ing to the waiter another guest, young
man, Arthur Weston by name. comes In.
to whom Oldroyd addresses himself. The
Invitation to dine Is accepted by Weston.
They dine together that evening, and Wes-
ton confesses that he has come down from
I London to borrow money of relative,
whom he finds has gone away. Something
in the young mans manner makes Oldroyd
suspicious that he Is in u desperate frame
OF mind.

lie Loved to Steal.


A Methodist clergyman had finished
reading the Scripture lesson in a week
day prayer meeting recently held in a
New Jersey village. Looking out over
the meager audience, he asked Mr..
Smith to start some appropriate song.
Smith hastily thumbled over the
leaves of his hymn book and began in
an unknown key

This was clearly wrong, and the lead
er stopped to take fresh hold lower
down the register and again sang out
Il love to stear'-
Again he stopped short. He could
not get the right pitch. Some of the
younger persons present Uttered and
gigGled. Smiths face was red, and the
perspiration was beginning to Ooze from
every pore. Mopping his face, he made
one more effort to grasp the proper
note, fairly shouting

arose and, glaring at the now hopelessly
confused Smith, said: Tam very sorry

He stated that the outlook was exceed

probably have building with a splendld
exhibit.
New York's appropriation bill carrying an
appropriation of $4,000 had already passed
one branch of the legislature and was
certain of passage.
The Louisiana Legislature would provide
for a building and an exhibit.
Arkansas had already passei an "p
preparation bill and would have superP
show. .,
Alabama was arranging for good
show.
Florida would he well represented
through several private exhibits notably
the Plant system.
President Collier stated further that
he had only Yesterday received a highly
gratifying communication from the COM
missioner from Costa Rica, saying thit ne
was en- route TO Atlanta TO arrange luI
the display OF a magnificent snow OF '"e
resources Of that country.
The president also stated that very
recent letter from Colonel ]. W. Avery,
who is now in Mexico, brought the most
gratifying news that had yet been receiver
