''Seems right good to be home again

But his form had scarcely touched it

Mandy, there's something wrongm
Mandy had been feeling along the
shelf for the candle that year in and
year out stood there like a tallow SEN
tinel, and had never failed her in the
darkest night She found it, but not
in it's old place; it had been moved a
hairs breadth to the left and felt
queer to her touch.
"Gimme a match, Eben. want to
see what like is the can'le. Lord
a-mercy, look at it, man.
1t certainly was not the same brand
of candle that for all these years had
been run in the tin mold behind the
pantry door. 1t was gorgeous
twisted design in green wax with yell
low stripes.
That's the girls doin's, l bet," said
the old man, putting on his glasses to
take a better look at the intruder.
Gosh! What loolkin' candler
AS its rays diffused light through
the room the two old people began to
investigate. They looked around, then
into each others faces. and both fear
and wonderment were expressed in
their startled giances

fcebly, but then whereabouts is

Let's look at the outside" and the
girls" who were watching at their
own windows, saw glimmering light
dancing like an ignus fatuus before the
old house, and could discern the I'M
wonted spectacle of their father and
mother inspecting the outside of their
home by candle light. 1t struck them
as very funny.
Meanwhile the truth had revealed
itself in part to the old people, and
holding aloft the flaring wax candle
they took an inventory of the new fur
nituro, from the carpet on the floor to
the paintings on the walls. 1t was
well the conspirators We're not there to
hear them. 1t might have given them
a shock.

Mandy, wringing her hands, 1.-The dear

ly afraid people would think we didn't
appreciate our old folks to let them
live on among that old rubbish"
The last finishing touches being ac-
complished, the sisters went to their
respective homes, and at nightfall the
two old folks walked into the domicile
that had sheltered them for forty
years the dearest spot on earth to
them-home!
1t had been planned by their know
ing children that they were to enter
the house alone to intensity the sur
prise in store fer them, and enioy
each others delight over the occasion
without witnesses.
But they, not knowing this, felt
with the sensitiveness of age a little
hurt, and clung closer together as
they entered the dark and silent
dwelling, every step of which was like
hallowed ground to tLeir tired feet.

published by the National Armenian Re

in this city.
1t sets forth the present dire sit uatiOn in
that country and proposes a plan by
which many thousands OF children, whose
parents were killed in the Turkish massa-
cres may be sheltered and fed during the
winter. The pamphlet is a symposium OF
the letters, reports and opinions or some
of. the more celebrated missionaries and
life workers who have gone out from Amer

quotation from Clara Barton:
THE condition of the people could hard
ly be worse. Homeless, friendlesS, t%reft,
widowed, despOiled, without food, ciothes
or shelter. famished, Mortified, sick, hope
less, waiting for the death that fingers
too lone-this is the situation. Need one
say more"

Barton makes the following statement:

EXCITEMENT IN A BANK.
An Old DepositOr Wanted to "Tale
1t Ont" of the President.

There was q lively row that closely
verged on free fight in an uptown bank,
opposite thcTreasuTyl last Friday afternoon.
An old depositor who had financial
grievance against the president of the in
stitution came in to make kick He made
1t and the president replied in tones that
filled the whole of the outer room where
q dozen business men who knew both par
tiese were waiting to have business
transacted.
No one who heard the disturbance was
willing TO 90 into the details of the story,
but the matter figured out, from tn. Va
rous accounts. somewhat III this fashion:
The depositor aforesaid was an old pa
tron but the bank had a note against him
for few thousand that ha had let run over
for some time, as even old patrons will
sometimes do. While he was out of town
the bank sued him on the note without no
tice and he came, upon his return, to take
il out" of the president.
The interview only lasted about ten min
utes, but counting the tongue lashing at
the rate of $500 a minute, and those who
heard it say that it was worth it, the ac-
count is about squared.
AT one stage of the interview, when
the blanks, asterisks and exclamation
points, of which the conversation was
largely made up, were pouring fastest
through the open doorway, the venerable
president fled the apartment and hurled
his anatiiemas back from the safe yanta ge
OF the outer doorway. But il ended like
most of Mr.. Corbett's recent encounters,
without the participants comingto blows.
Of course, the story got out on the street,
and now all the business men who know
both the participants are laying odds as
to which would win out IL it came to i
