The minister kneeled down and said
a gentle word to the woman. Then. as

began a prayer OF remarkable beauty
and comfort. Mr.. Hardy wondered as
he listened that he could even have
thought this man dull in the pulpit.
He sat down and sobbed as the prayer
went on and took to himself the conso-
lation OF that heavenly petition. When
Mr.. Jones rose, Mr. Hardy still sat
with his hands over his face. The sur
geon was called out by some one. Then
the minister, after making arrange
ments with the women who had come

go out. when Mr. Hardy rose. and they
went away together.

Mr.. Jones eyes filed with tears. He
grasped Mr. Hardy's hand and said
simply: Brother, God bless you. Let
me be of service to you in any way l

Mr.. Hardy felt little better for the
partial confession and parted with his
minister at the next corner, going
down to his Office.

ROYAL NAMES A HOODOO.
One of the Strongest .superstitions
of the English Navy.

One of the Strongest .superstitiOns
of the English Navy.
One of the very strongest and most
ineffaceable of all superstitions in the
royal navy, a superstition that is al
most as strong today as ever it was, is
that vessels bearing the names of roy
al personages are doomed to i'll luck,
and, strange as it may seem, there is
an undeniable historic basis for this
feeling.
Some of the most terrible disasters
ever known in connection with our ma
w have concerned war vessels with
royal names. Two vessels called the
Royal James came to disastrous ends.
One of them exploded, and some 500
officers and Seamen perished. The 9th
er ship so named was actually carried
out of the mouth of the Thames by the
Dutch Admiral de Ruyter under cir
cumstances disgraceful to those in
charge of the craft.
Then there is the forever memorable
disaster to the Royal George, an un-
lucky ship previously, that turned over
and sank in sight of crowds at Spit
head, over 1000 souls, among whom
were 800 women, being sacrificed. And
second only 10 this hideous disaster is
that which afterward befell the Royal
Charlotte, which, after a career of
much vicissitude, was consumed 10y
fire off Leghorn, over 500 of the very
flower OF the navy perishing with her.
When in 1898 the Victoria, a new
vessel and the very triumph of modern
invention so far as naval architecture
went, was rammed and sank ut once
in sight of the whole feet and when
hundreds of lives were lost there was
not sailor, however matter of fact he
might be, who did not remember the
dire fate of the royalty named craft.
These instances are only the greater
ones. A score of smaller ones are reel
ed off by every royal navy man.-Tit-
Bits.

Paid For His Joke.

The editor is fond of joke and has
the good sense TO appreciate one at his
own expense. \ few weeks ago he
was walking with a friend. and at the
corner of busy thoroughfare he saw a
dilapidated looking Hibernian standing
at the opposite corner gazing listlessly
into vacancy.
"Watch me surprise this old fellow
said he to his friend. Look right into
his face and see if it won't be study"
a second later they were abreast of
the son of Erin. and the editor pulled
out silver coin and said as he thrust
it into the mans hand: Here's that
half crown l owe you. Now, don't
go round any more telling people that
/ don't pay my debts"
For a second the mans face was a
study. He was amazed at the unlock
ed for kindness, and then. as its pur.
port dawned on him. he. raised his hat
and said: Heaven bless yer 'onner!
I'll never say another word ag'in ye.
But" and his eyes twinkled merrily,
"are we sure it wasn't a crown ye
owed meY
The friend roared: "Oh. pay the man
in full! Don't try TO beat him out of q
paltry half crown" The lrishman got
his crown, but the editor no longer
pays his debts at sight now.-London

ciung TO him sobbing. Then he kissed
his daughters. thing he had not done
since they were babies. and shook
hands with the boys and marched out
like one going 90 execution. something
bright glistening in his own eyes.
All, ye fathers and husbands. you
who are toilins for the dear ones at
home. how many of you have grown
so unaccustomed TO the tender affec-
tions Of home that your own. wife
would almost faint and think some
thing was going to happen to you IL
you kissed her goodby when you went
away to your work I'm the morning?
How do you know that she who has
been your faithful friend and lover all
these years and nursed you through
peevish sickness and done thousand
things every day for you without so
much as n word OF thanks or praise
on your part-how do you know she
does not care for these demonstrations
OF affection? And IL she does not, how
does it happen except through neglectY

little things that heaven is made, and
1t is of the home where such little
things are found that 1t can truly be
said, Love is master, and the evil one
cannot find an entrance to blot with
his foul tread the sweetest thing on
earth"
Mr.. Hardy hurried down toward the
tenement where Ward Scoville lived,
revolving in his mind as he went along
plans for his future happiness and
comfort.
"Tll deed him the place where he
lives and arrange il in some way so
that he won't have to go to the hos

Used Olive OIL.

A mistress before going out told her
negro cook to fry some Saratoga chips
in olive oil. The first thing that greet
ed the mistress upon her return was
an unrecognizable and awful odor that
penetrated every Granny Of the fiat.
Rushing to the kitchen, the mistress
found the chips sizzling away in a
pan full Of what proved to be vinegar.
But l told you olive oilv' cried the
mistress.
"Yes, ma'am, / know, ma'am," re-
turned the cook, who, by the way, can
read and write and is "up" upon mat
ters of geography and history. But

Of one of the men, recognizing him as
one of the employees in the casting

Mr.. Hardy reeled as if struck in the
breast with heavy blow.
Dead did you say?'
"He died about an hour ago" said
one OF the other men. THE surgeon
was late in getting around, and after
the amputation il was ascertained that
Scoville had received severe internal
injuries"
"Was he consciousT Mr.. Hardy ask
ed the question mechanically, but all
the while his mind was in a whirl of
remorse.
"Yes; up to the last moment"
Mr. Hardy went up TO the door and
