Seligman place now being "a manu-

that the land which lay alongside his
orchard was Catalpa View, where the
swell residents were going to build, and
that for a quarter of mile his trees
shook apple blossomss upon the new
thoroughfare, Montmorency boule-
ward, which was all jimson weed and
nettles, as matter of fact. Zenf got
to thinking, and when the talking man
came to visit him one day he struck
sharp bargain. The farm had been
bought by him years before-in the Old
days before Emsie was born-for 81. 900.
He sold for $4,000, and this included

forth very gently lest the rocking move

voice is low and tells by the graveness
how much of its old sweetness has been
lost. But he does not know that the
sweetness is gone. He listens without
thinking of the voice. The story is
strong-an old pathetic tale of the
Scotch COvenanters.
The voice of the reader goes gently
on. The rocking stops and slowly the
old man lifts his hand to hide his eyes.
Then for long time the reading is
kept up. But there comes a break in
the voice. The old man has both hands
before his eyes now.
The reader stops short for a moment.

The call to MONDAY prayers rang out
from the high minaret of the mosque.
Three times to the north the call went
forth and to the east and to the south
and to the west. ShrilI and high 1t
sounded piercing the quivering heated
air and penetrating the shops of a seller
of sweetcakes down i'm a by-street.
Before the shop a dignitary knelt to
pray. But within the shop the keeper
stood erect. his turban pressed low
over his forhead. Long ago he had lost
his belief i'm Allah and the prophets.
But he had prayed whenever the call
had rang out from the mosque. He
was old now and il would be hard to
stand against his friends. But he
would kneel no more towards Mecca
not again except his heart prayed too
His old habit would be hard to break;
men would curse him-after all-but
no.
So he stood in his narrow shop while
men outside knelt down. The muscles
of his face jerked painfully, he gritted
his teeth and clenched his hands-but
he stood erect.

The soprano interrupted

French.
The class was crowded, for the room
was small and the class was large.
The aisles were filled with chairs and
I'D in front were a row of chairs around
the professors desk. In the most con-
spicuous place sat a girl with red hair,
such bright red hair that half the class
when they recited fixed their eyes on
her in the hope, perhaps, that the hairs

their puzzled brains.
The recitation began. First they

fessor asked the translation of the va

well till it came to the turn of the red

French and then a name from the card
on the top of the pile.
The red-haired girl smiled little and
translated:

They sat in the twilight, these two.
and said their prayers. When they were
young they had read these same pray
ers, the prayers for the first Sunday in
Lent, out of their prayer-books. They
had given the pretty leather bound
books to each other on their wedding
day. Now the leather binding was
worn by much handling. Their chill
dren had used them and their grand
children.
. But now they had no need of prayer
books So many times they had read
these on Sunday evenings that the
words came easily to their lips. The
fire burned cheerfully in the little
stove: the mantle clock licked peace
fully; and the old man and woman sat
near the table. she rocking quietly with
her hands folded in her lap. he leaning
forwards with his elbows on his knees.
He did not seem to notice that he lag
ged a little in reciting; she would wait
for him at the end of each sentence
and they could begin together again.
So they said their prayers. mindful
of the words and of each other.

his brother lived together. Anton had
washed the supper dishes alone tonight
for Carl had gone down to the village.
But there had not been many dishes,
Just for two. and Anton could have the
whole evening to think. So an hour
ago he had brought out his violin and
his pipe and had seated himself by the
door.
Now his violin lay on his knee; the
pipe in his mouth had gone out long

quently to the front IN the discussion is
that Of Seth Low. the president OF colum-

reputation In that office. AS he is BOW a

appropriateness about his selection as the

Whether the non. bipartisan movement goes
so far as 20 bring out full ticket in the

the avowed sentiment upon the subject will
have a conservative influence upon ma
chine men of all parties. Tammany has
learned in recent elections that It is not

likewise learned that no second or third

assurance that the best available man for

that he was taken 40 notice of until he was
known 10 be a baron. He sarcastically
remarks that he was as good man be-
fore the people made that discovery, but
they did not notice him. There are two
morals to the story. One is that Il a title
is the only means by which man can be
made much of it's a good thing TO have a
title. The other Is. that IL the baron felt
himself TO be just as good without the
title. why not drop 1t?
