his lips, crying with a laugh:
''A-ah! that goes to the spot! By
George! it's like rain after drought!
It's your play. Hsre, Sam, fill this up"
And he drained another foaming goblet

Somehow Fitzhugh played very bad

Fitzhugh looked keenly at the speak

cue, was about to speak earnestly, but
changed his mind and only asked:
"Shoot much now? Much game down

Lots! go down often" Meredith
answered, growing more glib under the
mixture of cognac and champagne.

Meredith gulped his eagerly, to the last

they clasped Carolyn Clay lovingly. And
her naughty head bowed over her

the dark curls upon which she pressed

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making bet
ter article than your competitor If
you can get better price for it.
Ans--As there is no difference IN
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prompt
ly before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgement on them and
use only the better one.

The philo.ophy of Faith.

Do you remember how broken hearted
you were when you found out that your
patron saint. your dear, mysterious Santa
Claus, was a myth? You spent days and
nights wondering how he could get down
the chimney without covering himself
with SCOT and powdering all the presents
he must drag down with him with coal
dust and smoke. You examined as care
fully as you could the length and breadth
of the chimney; you speculated as to how
he could make the descent without drop
ping suddenly, since there was nothing
inside the chimney to which he could
cling Did he use tiny ladder? Perhaps.
But your wise father and mother had
never seen the ladder, and, besides, there
wasn't room enough in the chimney for
Santa, ladder and packet But, then.
what mattered all these perplexing, trou-
blesome questions, since Christmas morn
ing your stocking was full to overf1owing
and not the slightest trace of SCOT on a
single gift! Once upon fateful day you
discovered that your new doll, bearing the
euphonious name of Minnie Christmas.
was clad in a frock of blue and white, ex-
actly like your little sisters cloak. Here
was a mystery How did Santa Claus get
that piece of the ne Y cloak? You appealed
Immediately to your mother, who admit
ted that it was a singular coincidence, and
from that moment the suspicious of the
truth haunted your troubled heart. When

said, with determination.
What sign?" asked the man at the
desk, vainly endeavoring to think what

And clapped their hands and danced

At the very unusual sight
They knew full well. for they'd often

From old granny's lore so deep
That Sanity was bound to keep his word
Given when caught asleep.
So Toddie and Tot took a shoulder each.
Close up to Santy's ear.
And Wee climbed up within easy reach,
Where he could both see and hear.
They wished for Christmas gifts galore
So dear to the heart of a child,
Till Santa Claus quite forgot to snore
And nodded his head and smiled.
Then home ran Toddie ard Tot and Wee
And snuggled up warm in bed
And dreamed of fairy Christmas tree
In colors of gold and red.
Then Santa Claus woke "Oho," quoth

HONOR ABOVE GOLD.
An Incident which Illustrates the
French Character.

French Character.
Speaking of French politics, / heard
a most extraordinary story of another
strange secret of contemporary life.
Some years ago one might see in res
taurant at night, playing dominos
quietly or conversing in tranquil tones,
gentleman named Levy. He was a
man who knew more of the secret his
tory Of the courts of Europe than any
man of his time. To get full account
of his personality and history you must
spend an evening with Joe Lyons, the
owner of the Trocadero and a score of
other restaurants, one of the most bril-
liant raconteurs as well as one of the
best fellows in all London. Mr.. Levy
was private detective, employed when
ever a task of extreme delicacy and
enormous Importance was on hand. He
was retained by the Bank of England,
among other institutions, and l have
heard that his services were esteemed
SO valuable that he got the magnificent
salary OF e10, coo year from that in
stitution
Well, just after the downfall Of the
commune Mr.. Levy was intrusted with
one of the most delicate and, might
say, terrible missions in his life. There
were several communist refugees in
London. Levy tracked them out. A
man of the world, without enthusiasms,
acquainted with all the seamy side of
life and Of man, he yet had broad
sympathetic imagination, and he was
astounded by the picture he found i'll
the miserable den-if 1 remember right
ly it was stable-in which he discov-
cred the objects of his search. These
men, who but a few weeks before had
the government and the revenues of the
| great city of Paris at their command,
were engaged in making a wretched
bowl OF soup, which was to be the one
meal-and the one meal of them all
for "a hours. Not one penny had stuck
| to their palms of all the millions that
were at their mercy "These men may
be madmen," he said to a friend to
whom he told the story, "but, accord
ing to their lights, they are patriots"
His wonder grew as they refused
| scornfully to surrender some papers
which hxd fallen into their possession,
| in spite of dazzling offers of gold,
which. as agent of the French govern
ment, he was authorized to offer them.
| They knew the horror and the terrible
and appalling Importance of the edomes-
tic secret in the life of great man Of
which they held proofs. but they decid-
| ed to keep the proofs until they thought
| it right or wrong to publish the story
to the world. And. though they refused
the gold, they never told the secret, and
France and Europe were saved one Of
the most cruel and devastating scandals
