THE GR4NDEsr WORK OF ALL

More than century since in the
north of Europe stood an old cathe-
dral, upon one of the arches of which
was sculptured face of wondrOus
beauty. 1t was long hidden, until one
day the suns light striking through
a slanted window revealed its match
less features. And ever after, year by
year, upon the days when for II brief
hour it was thus illun ned, crowds
came and waited eagerly to catch but
Il glimps of that face. 1t had a
strange hi: sory. When the cathedral
was being built, an old man, broken
with the =. eight of years and care, came
and besought the architect to let him
work upon it. Out of pity for his age
but fearful lest his failing sight and
trembling touch might mar some fair
design, the master set him to work in
the shadows of the vaulted Roof. One
day they found the old man asleep in
death, the tools of his craft laid III
order beside him, the cunning of his
right hand gone, his face upturned to
this other marvellous face, which he
had wrought there-the face of one
whom he mad loved and lost in his
early manhood. And when the artists
and sculptors and workmen from all
parts of the cathedral came and look
ed upon that face they said. This is
the grandest work of all; love wrought
this" In the great cathedral of the
ages-the Temple being built for an
habitation of God-we shall all learn
some time that loves work is the
grandest of all.

As soon as the curtain fell-only to

GOOD BUSINESS HEAD.

He was reporting the details of a

fearless man who had dared to make
such trip with two children, and
they giggled and screamed and dane

would be put off the train for disturb
ing the other passengers.
VERY reprehensible, said the
mother, but it doesn't seem to me SO
much like the new woman as it is like
the old woman"
Finally" went on the fearless man
without noticing the interruption,
Jennie asked me if would give her
penny if she kept still until the end
of the trip. To be real frank, it look
ed like a cinch, as they say in sport

up to that time would have unhesi-
tatingly said that it wasn't possible

right" said her mother.
