A KNIGHT In OLD CLOTHES.
The Man who Was n Hero and Did
Not Know It-IdeaI of
Fidelity.

His name never appeared in print
but once, and few who read it then
remembered it. If 1t is craven upon
q monument, it will be in small letters,
on q stone erected out of q widows
penury. The world did not know that
he was a hero, and he did not know it.
He was crossing tender in suburb
of Chicago, and he did his monotonous
work for years without one heroic in
.cident apart from the performance of
simple duty. Yet all the time, and per-
haps unconsciously, there was grow
ing more clear in his mind an ideal of
duty, and what that duty might one
day require.
a few days ago the lightning ex-
press was coming down the track. 1t
was his duty TO see that the crossing
was clear, and to signal that fact to
the train with his white flag. He did
it, and was slowly backing from the
track, still waving his flag, for the day
was dark, and the engineer might not
see till the train was near. From
the other side of the track a little girl
came toddling down, right in front
of the swiftly approaching train. The
train was almost upon her when the
jwatchman saw her. He shouted, but
she did not hear, or 1t was too late
for her to heed. Even S he shouted, he
ran. He knew what it meant To save
her life was to lose his life. Yet right
before the train he rushed, caught her,
threw her with all his might beyond
the rails, and in that instant met his
death.
This is no tale from the days of
lInighthood and the reign of chivalry.
1t was no Arthur or Galahad that did
this deed, but knight in old clothes.
1t is not the glory of our common man
hood that such qualities lie often UNI
recognized, and not infrequently la
tent, in the hNmblest lives. When they
appear now and then, brought into
visible shape by some emergency, they
glorify not only the one exceptional
deed which he performs, but all men
who so labor with fidelity that may
become heroic to the sight of men
as IT ever is to the sight of God, and
all duties performed in that spirit, even
those that are commonplace.
The opportunities for acts OF signal
heroism are exceptional. But the OPP
portunities for fidelity that is essen
italy heroic are constant. The hero in
uniform or in armor viii ever be ar
attractive figure to the Imagination,
and will give color to the popular
thought of the heroic; but the truest,
most knightly heroism, and that which
challenges the best in us all, is tn ro-
of simple duty makes clear in A~trow
souls an ideal of fidelity which SON, :
times even to the sight Of en-, and al
ways to the eye of God. comes true
heroism.-N. Y. IndepepGant.

that friend, counselor and judge with

and none knew its truthfulness bet
ter than Lord Byron, who wrote:
Whatever creed be taught or land be

Mans conscience is the oracle OF Cod"

scholars life where conscience speaks
SO loud In his old and honored age
he goes back to the little town of
Litchfeld that he might stand with
uncovered head from morning until
night on the very spot in the public
highway where Is years before he had
wickedly refused to look after his old
fathers book stall. Though his ac-.
ton made him n grotesque ngure, ex.
posed HIM to the sneers of the passers-
by and endangered him, as an old
man, to the storms, yet his conscience
compelled him thus to expiate the
guilt of disooedient son. You have
heard of the famous English Judge
whose duty it was to sentence an
employee for the murder of his en-
ployer. Suddenly the judge took his
place in she dock beside the prisoner.
He confessed that 80 years before he
had taken the life and property of
his master, and thereby rose to his
present position and influence. He
urged the judges to condemn to the
death to which his conscience had so
long forced him. If Samuel johnson
had listened to his conscience In the
first place he would have been saved
from deep humiliation, and the IA
nous English judge would have been
saved from n death on the gallows.
