FRIENDS FOR LIFE.
. Eand OF Men Who Have Met Annually
For Over Twenty Years.

In tho year 1874 ono Of the strangest So
cieties ever heard OF was formed at the lit
tlo town Of Ligonier, Ind. Ten young
men, jrst merging into manhood, who
had always been great ohums, and who
were going to separate TO take up their life
work, formed 1t, and the young men swore
TO keep their pledges of eternal friendship,
and that they would meet at tho little ho-
tel at Ligonier once each year on the an
niversary OF tho formation of the society.
That was Jan. Il SO that on that date
each year the band has met to renew its
pledges and drink to tho memory of the
absent or tho dead. Only one Of tho ten
has died, Ferdinand Sandrock, who died
in 1899. A plate Is also set for him, and
his spirit is believed by the members TO be
present on these occasions. These feasts
arc TO DO kept up as long as one of the
members Is alive
Among the members arc G. T.. Bradden

Consolidated Cattle Car company; l.. ID.
Fleming, an attorney OF New York; n. S.

A SCHOOL IN PRISON.
A Plan TO Educate the Boys Confined In
tho Tombs.

n
tho Tombs.
An idea from which much good Is ex-
pocted Is that Of "a school for 80 boys and
young men confined in tho Tombs prison
In New York. 1t began the other day un-
der the direction of David Willard, grad
uate Of Trinity college, Hartford, and a
post graduates student at Harvard. Mr.
Willard was enthusiastic about his new
work. He has been connected with tho
university settlement for several months,
and as he expressed 1t, had got pretty near
TO the hearts Of 200 boys there. He was
sure he could do as we'll in the Tombs.
The school was instituted by Mrs Schuy-
Ter Van Rensselaer,, president Of the Public
Education society. The idea Of Mrs. Van
Rensselaer, was suggested by the expert
ment in the Bridewell at Chicago There
much moro has been accomplished than
was expected by tho charitable persons
who were tho promoters.

PARTv.


Chrado, not being an infant. a con-
y;ct or maniac. could hardly be
locked up for safe keeping. Like other
young men, he had the invetcrate habit
of going where he pleased. Whenever
Florio found the rooms deserted he
would pace them restlessly until he
saw Richard striding in with still un-
clouded brow. He not unnaturally
strayed into picture exhibitions, chat
ted with painters, now and again, 10
Florio's grim despair, went of an even
ing to drink n glass of beer in n cheer
full place frequented by the fraternity.
If stray artist chanccd TO walk into
the studio, he always found that other
fellow unsocial, if not surly. Police
men and postmen, in the innocent dis
charge Of their duties, occasioned Florio
many not insignificant frights.
In every reasonable and unreasonable
way did he seek TO avert the ever inn
pending disastrous carambolage of
Burgdorf and Prince Chardo, at least
until the former young gentleman had
built up reputation upon legitimate
foundations. But the conspirator
Jared better than his deserts, and es-
capped with his fears and forebodings.
Luckily for him, Richard, for the most
part, desired nothing better than to
shun mankind and paint. Reserved,
sensitive. moody, inspired by large
hopes. and chatting at the prolonged de-
lay in their fruition, proud of Florio's
success, yet longing to bear his own
share of their burdens. he worked un-
ceasingly, bided his time, lived the life
OF hermit, and cared for no society
but that of his friend.
Yet, If the painter so much as stopped
to look at something in Johannes Mez-
lcr's window, Florio shivered with APP
prehension, and would resort to the
ineanest inventions, and the longest
way around TO avoid that street.
