Suetonius and Tacitus prove to Us

with the republic of Rome. But
Cicero denies it, and Caius Lucilius

cases of 1876 B. c. prove that reform
was necessary even then. and that the
authorities were forced to legislate
against immortality and the destruc-
tion of family life. Cato's thunder
ings against the Immortality of his
times and the praise of 1.-The good old

class wars of the ages before his birth
do not lead US to think we are very
close to the object of our search.

There's joy wherever I am found.
Thou hast been told how men of old

of. the steamer Buenos Ayres ON the
coast of Brazil, between Pernambuco
and Rio Janeiro, has just turned up in
fishing village north of Oporto, in
Portugal. The British company that
paid the insurance recently received an
anonymous letter from Portugal. which
they put in the hands of the Portu-
guese police, who have already discov-
cred $4,000. The case containing the
money was picked up by Oporto fisher
men fishing on the Brazil coast, who
divided it among themselves and said
nothing. They vowed to give part of
it to the church and were betrayed for

too dreadful; it's like being in a GENE
terry with the graves all opened and the
dead people staring at you out of their
broken coffins!"
I" SO fleet the works of men
Back to the earth again.
quoted Philip, giving the order TO the
driver
When they had passed the dismantled
Johannisberg, with it's once beautiful
lawn grown up into a weedy desert,
Philip pointed to last summers corn
field across the Little Chiwassee.
THAT was Chiwassee-by-the-St Stream in
my day." he said. Lots sold over there
for $3.50 a front foot"
The old negro pulled his horse into
an unwilling trot, and the carriage
rolled around the shoulder of Johns
mountain in a cloud of yellow dust;
the ruined street suddenly became u
quiet country road, and the dead city
lay behind them. An hour later they
had climbed the spur bounding the
Scotchman's farm, and Philip pointed
out a comfortable stone farmhouse
Nesting against the sloping bosom of
the mountain.
That's Duncan's," he said, as they
ratified down to the gate; land there's
Elsie-Mrs. Robert Protheroe, should
say-standing in the door with my god
son in her arms"
They were expected, though not
until later in the day. and Mrs. Dun
can and Elsie were presently in bus
tie of kindly hospitality that carried
Philip swiftly back to the days of his
exile.
Jamie an Robbie'll be home to the
dinner" said Mrs. Duncan. They've
just gone up the mountain to fess auld
Johnnie down to greet We, Master
Thorndyke."
And how is old Johnnie?" inquired
Philip, trying to win some token of
recognition from the small philosopher
in Elsie's arms.
Yell not see the change O. day in
him." replied the mother, and the
daughter added: "He has but one
trouble now, and you're responsible for
that; he can't begin to spend his income.
and he will persist in burying it under
a stone in his fireplace"
Philip laughed, and then it suddenly
occurred to the good housewife that
her guests must be craving the privacy
which is the time-honored right of trav-
elers in all chimes; whereupon there
was more kindly hustle, and Philip and
Helen were shown up to the little bed
room under the caves.
Helen sat down on the bed while
Philip was unstrapping the valises.
"She's pretty, Phil, very pretty. and
sweet enough to be taken without
sugar, 1 think"
Who? Mrs. Duncan?" asked Philip,
without looking up.
"Of course not!""-with impatient
scornE'Mrs. Duncan's daughter. And
