BROKEN BRIG -bRACS.

Mr.. Major the famous cement man, of New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cemer t.
The mnltitudes who use this standard article
know thai it is many hundred per cent. better
than other cements for which similar claims are
made, but great many do not know why. The
simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other manufac-
tureIs do not use them because they are too eX-
pensive and do not allow large profits. Mr..
Major tells us that one of the elements OF his
cement COS 1913 a pound, and another costs
2.65 gallon, while large share of the socalled
cements and liquid glue upon the market are
nothing more than SiXteen-cent glue, dissolved
in water or citrlc acid, and in some cases, alter
ed slightly In color and order by the addition of
cheap and useless Materials
Majors cement retailS for fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle, and when dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon it
that his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought 10 make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit Of Mr..
Majors advertising, which now amounts to over
5000 a month, throughout the country. Estab-
llshed in 1876

balance and fell. still clinging to each
other, and rolling over and over to
the bottom.
Edward found himself even in the
strange situation of that descent Won
dering who would he on top when the
bottom was reached Evidently his as
sailant was having the same idea. For
when they struck the hall below and
rolled over again he let go of Edward,
and although Edward was on his feet
with an agility that was remarkable
considering his weight, the man rush
ed past up the stairs again and van
ished in the darkness above.
discretion was the better part of
valor" on this occasion. and so Edward
did not wait for the man to come back,
possibly REINFORCED by his companion,
but beat an orderly retreat down the
other two flights of stairs and so out
on the street minus his hat and plus
several bruises.
He happened to be near a clothing
store and went in and bought a hat
and continued his route. When he
reached his room on College hill, he
took account of damages and found
that. in addition to the loss Of his hat,
he had sustained several serious rents
in his clothing. AS he sat up late that
night repairing the rents he questioned
whether he had better make complaint
to the police. But he finally decided
not to say anything He could not
identify the men. He did not know
whether they belonged to the gam
bling crowd who were trying to get
vengeance for his part in the arrest or
whether they were part of the rough
gang that had for years infested that
| part of the city and had attempted to
| hold him for a purpose of petty rob-
berry. He said nothing about the mat
ter either to the president or Freeda
until several weeks afterward. 1t was
also significant of his stubbornness
that he continued his route the next
! night the same as usual. He was not
molested again that winter. And the
event did not make any particular i'm
preston ON him-not so much as it did
afterward, when he told it to his sister
and listened to her comments on it.
After the excitement due to these
things centering about the gambler
arrest, trial and conviction had died
out Edward found his mind going back
more and more to Willis. AS the days

went on he did not feel satisfied. He
met Willis in chapel and on the grounds
and in the halls constantly. His face
bore heavier marks of dissipation, and
he was evidently running fast pace
with the fast set
Mrs. Preston had also written again,
urging Edward if possible to 60 back

she said, that Willis would welcome
you, and you could keep him from
many wrong things. l know he still

cannot help feeling that he is going
from bad to worse. But just what
fear | cannot define. | seem to be
waiting to hear of some final disgrace
that he will suffer. In Gods name,
do all you can, Mr.. Blake, and l will
pray for you as l ask you to pray for
me-"
Edward read this letter with feel
ing Of shame, as he had always felt
more or less on reading Mrs. PrestOn's
letters. She wrote, always assuming
that Edward was a conscientious
Christian and she always appealed to
more than his morality. Edward did
not call himself a Christian, and there
was nothing in him that could respond
to part Of her appeal. Nevertheless,
he was moved so much by it that he
was exceedingly unhappy. He even
sought to see Willis that evening. He
decided to go and have a talk with him
and see If their former relations could
be resumed. But when he went up to
the old room, Willis happened to be
having card party of fellows most of
whom were dlstasteful to Edward. So
when Willis opened the door and Ed
ward saw at a glance who were in the
room he said briefly: 81 wanted to
see you. But l won't come in to-
night"
Willis stepped out into the hall and
shut the door. He was putting ciga-
rette, and looked more than usually dis
sipated.
Anything in Particular he asked,
not unkindly.
Edward hesltated. "Yes, but can't
talk with that crowd around"
"I'll send 'em away" said Willis
carelessly.
"You needn't do that" said Edward
slowly. Afterward he was sorry he
had not taken Willis at his word, for
Willis turned and went back into the
room indifferently, and Edward slowly
went down the stairs disappointed and
more unhappy than ever.
