The Man of Letters Heeds Them More Than
Does the Orthodox Religionist.
1t is quite extraordinary how Gallons
even the most religious persons in the past
have often been to the miseries of their fell
low creatures, both in this world and the
next. They have indeed expressed their
gratitude for being safe and sound them
selves, but not without q feeling of COM
placency that others are not so fortunate
1t Is this callousness, writes James Pawn.
In the Cornhill Magazine, which has rem
dered the man of letters-impulsive and
sensitive, soft hearted, yet easily moved to
indignation and charitable even toward
the sins he is not inclined to-unorthodox
and something more. There may be in
him want Of submissiveness to the d.
vine will and certainly of that unquestion-
Ing faith which is the comfort of so many
souls, but there is no lack of human love
and sympathy, and the man who loves his
fellows, we are told, is very near to loving
his Creator.
At all events, the feeling have do
scribed seems to me to have more or less
pervaded the minds of almost all men of
letters with whom have conversed upon
spiritual things. Because literary men are
not, as rule, churchgoers they are often
considered irreligious or as complete Gal
Hos In the matter, but this Is not at all
my experience of them, and haye lived
In their midst for nearly half century.
A very distinguished member of the
clergy used to say, with those half shut
eyes that always showed when his vein Of
humor was touched and which caused It
to be said of him that he never saw a
happy moment" "What strikes one as 90

ma 10 made the essential point Of all scots.
all OF which, save one--and perhaps even
that-must DO wrong"
Who damns every creed but his own
Must look for a limited heaven
And Is like man laying long odds
When the long odds to him should be given.

spangled with blue, red and yellow dia
monds-that is. except a path leading
direct from this point to that gate ovel
there.
Lampkin came to the side OF the de-
tective and sighted over the sward al
the gate. =,
"Too fine for my eyes," he said.
"Ah, now l see what you meant by
Jove, it is wonderfully clearP
"The trouble is that il knocks the
smoothness out of another theory" re-
marked the detective with frown.
"What is that?"
Never mind now. There are toe
many real things that demand imme-
diate attention, replied Hendricks.
"What shall you do next?" asked the
doctor.
"To kill time while the jury is get
ting together I'll show you that my
dewdrop theory is correct, was the re-
ply. IF you will come with me to
that walk over there, I'll show you
tracks crossing the sand in direct line
from here to the gate. I"
Hendricks led the way across the
grsss to the walk.
There you are," he said, pointing
TO tracks in the sand.
And coming this way, too, added
Lampkin.
"They do not go out again, but are
lost up there in the middle of the other
walk" said the detective doctor,
there is nut to crack. 1t is the blamed
est puzzle ! ever tackled. The whole
thing is in frightful middle. i was
never in my life so hampered with con-
flicting circumstances. One minute
