A WELL-PACKED TRUNK.
Some Advice Concerning the Packing

Afflicted Car Conductors,
From the Baltimore Sun.

glance at the eyes OF many of the
street car conductors shows that something
is the matter. The eyes are red about the
edges of the lids and are sometimes in
famed. One of the conductors said: The
trouble is limited to conductors of open cars
and Is caused by the long brass handles at
the end OF each row of seats. which a con-
ductor is compelled to grasp frequently as
he walks along the footboard After a
time the perspiration from tho hand acts
on the brass and the hand becomes coated
with verdigris. If the conductor puts his
hand to his face he Is apt to get the verdi

and listened for the remainder of the
lesson hour. At first his heart sank

Then gradually the music came over
him with all its power. He wondered
how so slight q form, so thin and ethe-
realized a face, should have for its soul
so much strength and mastery. Di-
rectly he forgot to think about this and
by the time Leon had finished he knew
what he should do. The shy boy hardly
understood him when he told him that
lie had an old violin of good quality, to
the use of which he was welcome for
the rest of the term; but Anthony him
self played better that afternoon than he
had for weeks.
Anthony did not enter the contest for
the prize. His father would be disap-
pointed, he knew; but he had not the
heart to bring his frmbling with the
bow into comparison with Icons mas
tcry of his instrument Roy laughed at
him, and even upbraided him little for
lending his violin;-but Roy's laughter
and upbraiding were alike harmless.
But after the concert, when the prize
had been awarded, Icons mother came
To him without an introduction.
Il do not know how to thank you,'
she said, and her voice was not so steady
rs it might have been, Leon has writ
ten me about you. Your giving him
the violin was more to him than the
prize"
Afterward, when they had gone to his
room together, Anthony told his father
why he had not played and with whose
instrument it was that Leon had won.
Ills father seemed to be thinking OF
other things, only nodding his head
slowly to show that he was listening.
Then at the conclusion he spoke MS
from distance, his eyes looking into a
time of which Anthony knew not.

that is our portion"
"But even with that lucky chance to

hard. II you do not, am sure 20 beat

"You forget that you can't play my"
said Roy, lightly; and the boys laughed
before drawing out the chesaboard, to
forget their musical incapacities in ex-
ercising their brains over the intricate
maneuvers of knights and queens and
bishops.
That night Anthony could not escape
the remembrance that he had another
violin which he was not using, stored
away in the little closet adjoining his
sleeping-room. There was no reason at
all why he should not let Leon have /.
until after the concert, save that by so
doing he would be increasing his rivals
chance for the prize. Leon could not
afford to get a new violin, he knew that
well enough; and of what use would the
old one be with hole punched in its
back?> OF course Leon deserved the
prize, just as Roy of right had the honor
of being captain of the ball club. Still
it was none of his affair IL he broke his
violin. Ii was not thing for which
he should make PREPARATION; and why
should he trouble himsel: about one who
had always repulsed his !sindnesses, or
at least had never, invited them? He
would be quite sure Of the prize himself
if--but Anthony could never bring him.
self to think of his being party to
Icons failure. The old violin in his
closet seemed to send out lament be-
cause the music in it3 heart had been so
long unyoiced. He could fancy that the
spirits of those who in long-gone days
had played upon it were waiting to whis-
per in its moving, tones the joys and
sorrows of vanished time. And then
but Anthony would not think about it
any more. He turned his thoughts res
olutely to the next days Virgil reading,
a topic Stimulating his fancy so lightly
that he soon forgot it all in sleep.
1t was three days later when Anthony
went into Prof Mandcls room be-
fore the latter had finished the lesson he
was giving Leon. Both teacher and
pupil were aggravated by the dull tones
of the cracked violin; and at last Mandcl
handed Leon his own instrument, upon
which no pupil had ever before been

get the prize; tnerc were tnree Otncr
competitors besides Anthony himself;
but the chances were all in Icons favor.
Anthony jumped up and strobe about
his room angrily, as he thought Of the
foolish persistence with which Leon
kept to himself and to his violin, fore
going the pleasures of the other boys
and living only in his music. Why
things that appeal to the right-minded
boy in general? How could one have
any chance ut all with boy who didn't
care for football or baseball or any
other outdoor sport? 1t was so I'M
natural in lad in his 18th year that
his fellow students at the academy had
given up trying to understand him,
and had for him only that feeling of
irritation that all Of us have when we
come into close contact with thing
altogether anomalous and beyond our
fathoming. When he first saw him Mt
prayers Anthony had conceived n liking
for him; but as all his attempts at
friendlincss with him were one by one
met coldly or repnlsed, that early feel
ing had grown into something that
was not dislike, but had vet all its
bitterness.
Anthony began again the oft-rcpeated
process of looking over his music. not
yet fecided as to which among his solos
he should play at the great concert.
While again balancing in his mind the
merits of two compositions between
which his decision wavered, there was q
knock at the door; and, in answer to
his shouted invitation to come in. Roy
Willett opened the door and pol,cd his
head in before entering.

looking Mt the music and not playing"
he said, as he pushed the door wider
and came in. Anthony tossed the music
over on the table with just show of
NeXation in his manner. II am tired
enough OF it to be glad you've come.
What's the use in trying for that lliser-
able prize when we all know thai Leon

Roy laughed, not ut the story. but at

face.

Anthony, n sudden sympathy for his
rival springing to life in his heart.

AN ILLUSION.

DO you know that the sight OF your face,
Though I see you each OF the seven.
Can transngure the commonest place
Into something that seems to be Heaven'
DO you know that the sound of your voice.
When you utter brief salutation.
Bids the stars OF the morning rejoice
AS they did at the dawn of creationf
DO you know that the clasp of your hand,
In a purely conventional greeting,
Makes this earth n mysterious land
Where the fairies are holding a meeting?
Do you know that the ways you pass by.
When the stream OF the traffic Is flowing.
Are like the ladders which lead to the sky
Whereon angels are coming and going?
Do you know that your yea or your nay
Lays Its clasp on my soul like fetterv
Whilst regarding myself I can say
That know that ought to know better.

il used to increase by more than 20 per
cent. in the ten years between success

fallen to 1914 per cent, the lowest on
