couraging any suspicion that he might
have something to conceal. He had been
wholly truthful in detailing the fantastic
legend which had been handed down to
him, and he quickly realized that as the
story was probably known to all the mem
beers of the great family to which he be-
longed, any hesitation on his part now
might induce an inquiry which would dis
cover what he had withheld, and that in
turn might cause suspicion to glance his
way. So, after a merry laugh and re-
mark that he had never yet failed to stop
at that particular place in telling the story,
aid had never been disappointed in his
expectation that the listeners curiosity
would be intensely whetted by the pause
he proceeded:
"Wel, of course it was agreed that
Providence, approaching the nobility of

clock, while ordinarily performing its
humber duty of time-keeping with in
fallible regularity, would go awry in its ac-
counting if any member of the family did
an evil thing, and that the degree of its
irregularity would be governed by the
magnitude of the wrong; a condition being
that the malefactor should be brought into
its presence. Thus, if lie was told the
clock would lose time; if a theft was COM
mitted it would stop, but start again of its
own accord if restitution was made; if a
robbery, it would stop and then whirr

Mr. Enderlin, while politely pressing him

mantel, half hidden by some dried grasses
resting in vase, and exclaimed in aston

Who was it that said bird in the

No one ever made greater mistake.

when 1 issued from my leafy retreat
knew that this oft-repeated saying is
merely rusty, moth-eaten cid bit of pn-
wisdom that should long ago have been
relegated to our intellectual lumber-room.
The man who originated it probably never
saw a bird in the bush. Such cocksure
knowledge as his saying displays is never
born of anything but ignorance.
My bush was a great branching willow
tree. It's long, dropping plumes of foliage
hung down all around me, making tent

STILL SEEK ORGANIZATION.
Actresses Make Another Attempt to
Form a Union.

Actresses Make Another Attempt to
Form Union.
A meeting was held by the actresses OF
this City Thursday afternoon in the par
lors of the Langham Hotel to decide upon
the steps to be taken toward organization.
They were divided in opinion.
All wanted separate organization, but
most of those present thought the number
of members would be so small as to lessen
the effectiveness as the association. The
main division came upon the point as to
whether they should be a branch of the
Actors Association of America, with a
man at the head, or become an integral
part of the present lodge.
A long discussion ensued. Some one
moved that they adjourn till it could be
learned whether they would be received by
the male branch of the association.
This was carried. Another meeting will
be held next week. In the meanwhile the
ladies hope to be able to convince the
members of the association that they will
be amply repaid for enforced politeness
and abstinence from profanity and tobacco
by the charms that the presence of the
ladies would add to their meetings.

channel, when his companion, with a sud-
den and alarming eagerness, while his
eyes blazed with strange light that was
almost fierce and menacing, clutched his
arm and demanded:
what became of that clock? Where
is it?'
DevelIe threw back his head and laughed
with all the assumed merriment possible
to his condition. But this in nowise dis
concerted or discouraged his inquisitor,

pressure of his peculiar bent, to have been

"Why that hope?" quickly snapped Mr..
Enderlin.
Develle appeared embarrassed and an
noyed and made no response. Worst OF
all, he was alarmed upon discovering that
he lacked the courage to look the strange
old man in the eyes, which he felt were
burning holes through his head. Mr.. En-
derlin ignored his failure to answer that
question and propounded another:
''Was any description of the clock handed
down in the legend?'
None whatever. But, my dear sir, you
seem to be unduly exercised over this idle
tale, which on its very face is the silliest
of romances. Let us drop the subject"
Certainly, certainly" agreed Mr.. En-,
derlin with surprising alacrity; and then,
with an apparent effort to pull himself to-

it. With the admirable address of wise
and sympathetic man he sought to make
himself as agreeable as possible, but in

JOY At OLD ST. MARY'S,
One Hundred and Fifty-FiVe
Children Confirmed in
the Church.
Archbishop Rordan Presided and
Preached the Confirmation
Sermon.

Old st. Mary's Church on the Mission
road was the scene of impressive confrma-
ton ceremonies yesterday. One hundred
and fifty-five boys and girls renewed their
vows of fidelity to the faith of the Catholic
church and were blessed by his Grace
Archbishop Riordan.
The Archbishop presided in the sanctu-
airy assisted by Rev. Father Brady, pastor
of the parish, and Rev. Father Lynch, pas
tor of st. James Church.
Mass was begun at 10 A. NJ. The cele-
brant was Rev. J. B. Hannigan of ST.
Marys Cathedral, the latest accession to
the ranks of the clergy from the alumni of
ST. Mary's College. Rev. John E. Cottle
was deacon, Rev. NJ. D. Cottle sub-deacon
and Rev. P. E. Mulligan master of cere-
monies. The choir was composed of
students in the college. The singing was
excellent, particularly the save Maria"
sung by Mr.. Jaunet in his remarkable
soprano voice.
At the end of the mass his Grace the
Archbishop preached sermon, taking as
text: ''You have not chosen me. but 1
have chosen you. / have appointed you
to go and bring fruit, and your fruit shall
remain" The speaker drew graphic
picture of Christ as he was giving his COM
mand to the apostles. In the course of his
remarks the Archbishop said:
1.-THE same command has been given to
us that we, too, go forth and bring in
fruits. This we can do only by living lives
of virtue, by exemplifying in our conduct
the teachings of Christ. We must not
only preach virtue, we must act virtue"
One of the most pleasing features of the
ceremonies was the singing in concert of
sacred hymns by the children. The rea-
son why the ceremony was held yesterday
the Feast of John the Baptist de la Sale,
founder of the Order of Brothers of Christ
ian Schools.

spite of that effort certain constraint sat
between the two men during the remain
der of the evening.
Develle did not sleep well that night,
and when he dozed, clock that per-
sistently ran backward invaded his peace.
The next day he reasoned that despite
the fact of vague dislike of Mr.. Enderlin
which had been born within him, it was
wise that he should not avoid a continu-
ance of the friendly relation. This was in
the pursuit of his policy to do those things
which he liked least to do, when there was
the smallest chance that his failure to do
them might be construed against him. He
always found Mr.. Enderlin pleasant and
friendly, and was grateful that the sub
ject of clocks was not again brought up.
One day Mr.. Enderlin said:
~ want you to come to my room this
evening"
Develle readily agreed.

Assistant Secretary Reynolds has
rendered decision bearing on the
civil war pensionable rights of SOL
diers enlisting in 1865 and 1864.
If the enlistment was for service
in the war of the rebellion, the
soldier is pensionable. If for the
regular army he is not. The sec
retary holds that enlistments in
the loyal states after April 3, 1868,
when recruiting in them ceased,
will not be deemed enlistments for
the war Of the rebellion. In other
states and territories and in the
