sell upon him, but he put the thought
away with twinge of shame that he
had given it room. Doubtless Elsie
mad her own reasons for her apparent
confusion, but they concerned him only
so far as to make it advisable that he
should do nothing to place himself in
false light before her. The afternoon
ramble would give him chance to tell
her more about himself, and if the
vagrant suggestion which he had made
such haste to disown had any remote
lSlnship to fact, the bare mention of
Helen's name would set the matter
right, and there would be no room for
future misunderstanding. 1t was
clearly the just and honorable thing to
no. and now that he thought of it, he
reproached himself for not having
done it sooner. With different up-
bringing, Philip might have seen the
unmalleable self-conceit in all this, and
having recognized it he would have
been honestly and frankly ashamed of
IL. Since he was not aware of its ex-
1stence, his resolve to make a conf
dante of Elsie took the comforting
form of an act of delicate and chivalric
ohoughtfulness, and he looked forward
with magnanimous Impotence to the
time when he could give it speech.
After dinner. however, when thew

the summit of Johns mountain. The
good resolution began to part with it's
urgency. Elsie's embarrassment had
disappeared, and in such irrelevant
talk as the scramble up the rocky trail
permitted, there was no opening for
thing like condolences. With the de-
lay Philip began to doubt the necessity.
II he were not under sentence of death
1t would be different, but in the light of
That tremendous fact, why should he
go about to observe the unwritten laws
OF conventionality? It could surely be
no disloyalty to Helen if he allowed him
self to take what of sympathy and pity
this other young girl chose to give him
out of the abundance of life and health.
On the contrary, would not Halen be
glad, when all was said, to know that
he had not died without the JUNCTION of
compassion? And Elsie?-that was Q
phase of the question which might we'll
be treated as a wise man treats Sleep
ing dog; it was the very hardihood of
vanity to suppose that her heart was
touched by any emotion deeper than
that of pity. Knowing that his days
were counted, there could be no offer
ing save at the shrine of womanly
tenderness and sympathy. In any
event, there was no occasion for haste;
he would wait awhile and see what came
of it.

HONOR WITHOUT STAIN.

The Sterling Integrity of One OF the Ma
tion's Founders.
Old Philadelphians cherish many an
ecdotes of the noted men in the Quaker
city in colonial days. One of these has
q significance that is worthy of consid-
Grafton.
There was famous grammar school
in Philadelphia to which the boys
of well-to-do parents were sent to be
trained in the ''humanities. The en-
aminations were severe, and the lads
who failed felt themselves somewhat
6isgraced in the eyes of the whole
town.. Many of the pupils secretly used
translations, or were helped by scholar
ly friends in their studies.
There is tradition that one boy,
Charles Thomson, refused to avail HIM
self of any help or dishonest trick. He
was slow to learn, and timid. His
classmates insisted that he appeared
at an unjust disadvantage for these
reasons at examinations, and urged him
to use "ponies" and cribs.
NO. he said. ut is a pity if do not
l.
lie."
He failed, and was sent down to a
lower class for the next term.
Charles Thompson was never, per-
haps, first in his class at school; but
among the good and noble men who
helped to form the republic he stood in
the foremost rank as a man whose
honor was stainless. He was long Sec
rotary of congress, and on disputed
points his simple statements utweighed
the oaths of noisy disputants. Even
the Indians recognized the quality of
the man, ind received him into the ma .
ton, giving him name which signifed
"He who cannot lie''
IF he had learned to lie in order to
pass a simple school animation, for
what poor mess Of pottage would he
have sold his kingly birthright.-

1t was the uncertainty of his stand
ing with her that made Protheroe hesi-
tate to introduce possible rival; and
it was his assumption of superiority over
the common foibles and weaknesses of
humankind in general, and of jealous
lovers in particular, that united with
his sympathies to make him change his
mind. eE.-.-.-; ::
The wagon road up the valley of the
Little Chiwassee follows the stream to
a point within a quarter of mile of
Duncan's house, where it climbs a low
wooded spur of Johns mountain. From
the top of this spur the young engineer
could look down upon the house and it's
surroundings, and he saw Duncan in the
barnyard talking to stranger-an old
man with white hair and beard falling
over the cape of a tattered army over
coat. At sight of Protheroe the man
climbed the fence and ran up the noun

''Good morning, Mr.. Duncan; I hope
I didn't scare your neighbor away. He
took to the woods as if he thought

''An' who kenned you were not, when
We cam loupin' over the hill yonder ?"
Duncan came out and loosened the sad
die girth while Protheroe was hitching
the horse.

another. But tell me, who is your

''and it'll take a family council to set
