EnAIIN Cured.

A correspondent thus tells how a
man addicted to the splitting habit was
cured: ''The captain Of an Atlantic
steamship was at loss how to induce
passenger to desist from the filthy
habit of splitting on deck. Among the
passengers was a gentleman well
known in Toronto 40 years ago, who
undertook to stop him if a quarter
master were placed at his disposal.
The captain closed with the offer and
the man was directed to fetch IA bucket
of water and mop, and to follow the Of
fender up and down the deck. The re-
suit was completely satisfactory

Mr.. St. John was returning from pay
ing visit of coincidence some distance
cut of the village, and he had taken the
short cut across the moor. 1t was "A
clear summer afternoon, week since
his parting with Nancy. \ parting in
earnest 1t had been, for the days had
gone by without meeting or communi-
cation between them. The curate was
sad young man, though the anger in
his heart still burned fiercely. To have
been called a coward by the woman he
loved was a thing not lightly to be for
gotten His recent visit too, had been
particularly trying. In his soul he felt
that his words of comfort had been un-
real; that, for all he had striven, he
had failed in his mission to the bereaved
mother. SO he trudged across the moor
with slow step and bent head, giving no
heed TO the summer beauties around
him.
He was about half way home when
his somber meditations were suddenly
interrupted A man rose from the
heather, where he had been lying, and
stood IN the path, barring the curate's
progress.
"Now, Mister Parson," he said, with
menace in his thick voice and bloated
face.
Good afternoon, my man." returned
st. John, recognizing the brute of a
week ago, and turning as red as tur-
key-cock.
an good afternoon ye, Mister Par
son! No! Ye don't pass till I'm done
wi ye," cried the man, who had been
drinking heavily, though he was too sea
soned to show any unsteadiness in gait.
The curate drew back. what do you
want?" he asked He was painfully
white now.

"Stop!" cried the curate.
The angry man merely scowled and
raised the strap for another blow. St.
John laid a detaining hand on the fel-

the latter such surprise that he loos-

youngster fed bowling up the alley.

dancing round the curate, who seemed

grown white and was trembling.
At this juncture two of the work
mans cronies appeared AT the door OF
the alehouse opposite, and, seeing how
matters stood, crossed the road, and
with rough hands and soothing curses
conducted their furious friend from
the scene.
"Horrible!" sighed the curate, as the
lovers continued their walk.

but sorely disappointed in her lover
He was not exactly the hero she had
dreamed of. How white and shaky he
had turned!
You surely did not expect me to take
