Look on This Picture and on That.
'Alls fair in love and war; is Il COM
mon but, it is to be hoped, not wholly
true saying; otherwise some of the
meanest acts would be excused. Ma
poleon was not above the paltriest
deeds. At the battle of. Dresden, in
1913, he noticed that a group of Off
GERS had ridden within-'gunh and
had his artillery send a shower of shot
amongst them. There are" he said,
perhaps some little generals III their
midst''-in the Emr;rors mind he was
the only great general. A gun was
discharged at the group, and Moreau, a
famous French soldier who had joined
the Allies, and who was almost as fine
a general IS Napoleon, was fatally in
jured. Curiously enough, in the course
of the battle of Waterloo 1S15), a
colonel in command of battery of Brit
ish artillery reported to Wellington that
he had the range of the spot where
Napoleon and his staff were standing
and asked if he might pick some of
them off. Not at all, replied the Iron
Duke, "generals-in-chief have some
thing else to do in battle than fire at
each other"

Dutchmen of Seventeenth Century
These Dutchmen, heavy-footed, solid,
grim, were in the seventeenth century,
to use the phrase of a French writer,
''the Phoenicians of the modern world,
the wagoners of all seas" They were
the commercial heirs of Venice. The
fire of their long struggle for freedom
had given to the national character the
eage and temper of steel. They had
swept the Spanish flag from the seas.
The carrying trade of the world was in
their hands. They fished in all waters,
traded in all ports, gathered the wealth
of the world under all skies, and, as far
as marine qualities were concerned,
might almost have been webfoOted.
Holland to-day is a land without am
bition. comfortable, fat, heavy-bottom-
ed. In the middle of the seventeenth
century Holland claimed to be the
greatest naval power in the world, and
by daring seamanship, great fleets. ia
nous admirals, and a world-encompass-
ing trade 1t went far to justify that
boast.-Cornhill Magazine.

The Doctors dilemma
BY Eesba .Stretton
esaSsSSSaaSSsSs SSSSsSSSSe

"You are not offended with me, DR..
Martini" she asked. in pleading tone.
NO." l answered; but you are mis-
taken in supposing a medical man has no
love for his profession apart from its
profits. To see that your arm gets prop
erly well is part of my duty, and shall
fulfill it without any thought of whether
l shall get paid for it or no."
"Now," she said, 81 must let you know
how poor l am. Will you please tofetch
me my box out of my room?'
l was only too glad to obey her. This
seemed to be an opening to a complete
confidence between us. Now l came to
think of it, fortune had favored me in
thus throwing US together alone.
l lifted the small, light box very easily
there could not be many treasures in
it-and carried it back to her. She took
a key out of her pocket and unlocked it
with some difficulty, but she could not
raise the lid without my help. l took
care not to offer any assistance until she
asked it.
Yes, there were very few possessions
in that light trunk, but the first glance
showed me a blue silk dress and sealskin
jacket and hat. / lifted them out for
her, and after them a pair of velvet slip
pers, soiled, as If they had been through
muddy roads. 1 did not utter a remark.
Beneath these lay a handsome watch and
chain, fine diamond ring and five sover-
eigns lying loose in the box.
THAT is all the money l have in the
world" she said sadly.
l laid the FIVE sovereigns in her small
white hand, and she turned them over,
one after another, with a pitiful look on
her face. l felt foolish enough to cry
over them myself.

THE SOCIAL SECRETARY.
A Useful Functionary Found in Some
Big Department Stores

A Useful Functionary Found in Some
Big Department Stores.
It is depressing to feel ones self only
one of 500 employes-and not an i'm
portant one. 1t is natural that such
feeling should foster a notion that one
is being sighted or overburdened or
possibly prosecuted. When imagination
goes to this length work suffers as well
as the worker To save them both some
of the great department stores have en-
gagged discreet and tactful women
whom they call social secretaries
The social secretary is an intermedi-
airy between the employer and the
saleswOman, and her duty is to keep
them both from making mistakes, says
a writer in the Youths Companion. She
is not expected to overlook wrong-do-
ing, but neither is she desired to remain
silent when she thinks an emplOye is
unjustly treated. She has authority to
send a delicate girl home early on a
stormy day. She can recommend a
clever girl for promotion. She is quail
fed to mother the sick and encourage
the sensitive, and she must be brave
enough if occasion arises to tell her
employers unpalatable but wholesome
truths.
We hear Of one social secretary who
organized among the saleswomen an
insurance club, a mutual benefit asso-
citation and a social club that arranges
for summer outings and winter parties.
Another hunted up a quiet farmhouse
home for girls who were tired or i'll.
and sent them there, and kept them
there until they regained health. But
the social secretary's best work is done
in meeting the little needs of every day
and advising her associates for their
physical, intellectual and moral good
1.-THE firm" may seem remote and mac
cessibie. but this just and sympathetic
woman stands very near.
Wherever the experiment has been
made, apparently, the social secretary
has become a fixture. Efforts like hers
profit the employer as well as the en-
plOyes, because they directly promote
that spirit of willing service which
adds so much TO a workers value. Once
convinced that she is not held in dis
dain or viewed as simply a part of a
money-making machine-that she is
the object of goodwill and kindly re-
membranccs-the girl in the depart
ment store solves her personal Tabor
problem" as we all may solve our own,
by doing her best work and doing it
cheerfully.

CHAPTER vI.-tContinuedD

We walked home together. We had
good deal to talk Of during the evening,
and sat up late. 1t was midnight before
found myself alone in my own room.
/ had half forgotten the crumpled paper
in my waistcoat pocket, but now L
smeothed it out before me and pondered
over every word. No, there could not be
a doubt that it referred TO Miss Olivier.
Why should she have strayed from
home? That was the question. What
possible reason could there have been,
strong enough TO impel a young and deli
cately nurtured girl to run all the risks
and dangers of a fight alone and unpro-
tected?
What ought I to DO with this adver-
tisement, thrust, as it would seem, pur-
posely under my notice? What was l to
do with the clue? l might communicate
at once with Messrs. Scott and Brown,
giving them the information they had ad-
vertised for six months before. | might
sell my knowledge of Miss Olivier for
fifty pounds. In doing so l might render
her a great service, by restoring her to
her proper sphere in society. But the
recollection of Tardif's description of her
as looking terrified and hunted required
wildly to me. The advertisement put
her age as twenty-one. l should not
have judged her so old myself, especially
since her hair had been cut short. l was
not prepared to deliver her up until
knew something more of both sides of
the question.
Settled-that if 1 could see Messrs.
Scott and Brown and learn something
about Miss Ollivier's friends, l might be
then able to decide whether l would be-
tray her to them; but I would not write,
Also, that l must see her again first, and
once more urge her to have confidence
in me. If she would trust me with her
secret, | would be as true to her as a
friend as | meant to be true to Julia.
Having come TO these conclusions, L
cut the advertisement carefully out of
the crumpled paper, and placed it in my
pocketbook with portraits of my mother
and Julia. Here were mementoes of the
.hree women | cared most for in the
world-my mother first, Julia second, and
my mysterious patient third.

Ambrose McKav,s Cnse.

Rockbrdge Mo-, June 24.-The neigh
borhOod and particularly the members
of Rockbridge Lodge, No. 49,, A. f. &
A. M, are feeling very much pleased
over the recovery of Mr.. Ambrose Nc
Kay. prominent citizen and an honor
ed member of the Masonic Fraternity.
Mr.. Mckay had been suffering for
years with Diabetes and Rheumatism,
which recently threatened to end his
days. His limbs were so filled with
pain that he could not sleep. He was
very bad.
Just then some one suggested a new
remedy--DOdds Kidney Pills-which
has been much advertised recently as n
cure for Bright's Disease, Diabetes,
DrOpsy. Rheumatism and Kidney
Trouble.
After Mr.. Mckay had used a few
doses, he commenced to improve. His
pain all left him. and he is almost as
well as ever. He says DOdd'S Kidney
Pills are worth much more than they
cost. They are certainly getting a great
reputation in Missouri, and many very
startling cures are being reported.

Many Denominations in One wedding


THE college roommate of friend of
mine was engaged to lady in New
York; writes the Rev. d. NJ. Steele in
his article on Some People l Have
Married" in the Ladies Home Journal.
His people are Congregationalists, but
while at Yale he became a Unitarian.
Her parents are Roman Catholics, but
she was a member of the Ethical Cul-
ture Society at Carnegie Hall. In COM
pliance with her mothers wish he ask
ed five different priests to marry them,
but all refused. In despair he came for
me. l married them, an Episcopalian,
with the ritual service in a Presby
terrain chapel. The Roman Catholic
brother of the bride and the Congrega-
tional sister of the groom were present.
This sister acted as one witness; the
other witness was a Jewess."

"Not so very long 1 said, testify; but

then l want you to walk with me to the

turned back for a last look and last
word. No chance of learning her secret
now. The picture Was as perfect as
when l had had the first glimpse OF II,
only her face had grown, if possible
more charming after my renewed scru-
tiny of it.
"Shall send you the hair?' asked Miss
Olivier.
ITO be sure" 1 answered. Il shall
dispose of it to advantage, but L have
not time to wait for it now"
And may 1 write letter to you?"
EYES," was my reply. / was too pleas
ed to express myself more eloquently.
"Good-by," she said; you are very
good doctor to me-"
"Anj friend?" l added.
"Ard friend,' she repeated.
For the next few days l waited with
some impotence for Miss Ollivier's prom
Used letter. 1t came at last, and put IL
into my pocket to read when was alone
why, 1 could scarcely have explained
TO myself. 1t ran thus:
Dear Dr. Martini have no little
commission to trouble you with. Iardlr
tells me it was quite mistake, his moth
er taking a sovereign from me each week.
She does not understand English money;
and he says l have paid quite sufficient
to stay with them a whole year longer
without paying any more. l am quite
content about that now. Tardif says, too,
that he has a friend in Southampton who
will buy my hair, and give more than
anybody in Guernsey. So l need not
trouble you about it, though l am sure
you would have done it for me.
Good by, my good doctor. l am try
ing 20 do everything you told me exact
ly: and [ am getting well again fast. l
Go not believe l shall be lame; you are
too clever for that. Your patient,
OLIVIA"
Olivia! 1 looked at the word again to
make sure of it. Then it was not her
surname that was Olivier, and l was still
ignorant of that. / saw in a moment
how the mistake had arisen, and how
innocent she was of any deception in the
matter. She would tell Tardif that her

name was Olivia, and he thought only
of the Olliviers he knew. 1t was a mis-
| take that had been of use in checking
curiosity, and did not feel bound to put
it right. My mother and Julia appeared
to have forgotten my patient in Sark al
together.
Olivia! l thought it a very pretty
name, and repeated it to myself with its
authorizations. Olive, Livy. 1t was diff
cult to abbreviate Julia; Ju, l had called
her in my rudest schOolboy days. l Won
! dered how high Olivia would stand be-
side me; for l had never seen her on her
feet. Julia was not two inches shorter
than myself; a tall, stiff figure, neither
slender enough to be lissome, nor we'll
proportional enough to be majestic. But
she was very good, and her price was far
above rubies.
| visited Sark again in about ten days,
to set Olivia free from my embargo upon
her walking. l allowed her to walk a lit
tie way along a smooth meadow path,
leaning on my arm; and l found that she
was a head lower than myself-a beau
| tiful height for a woman. That time
Captain Carey had set me down at the
Havre GOsselin, appointing to meet at
the CreuX harbor, which was exactly on
the opposite side of the island. In cross
ing over to tia distance of rather more
than a mile-I encountered Julia's
friends, Emma and Maria Brouard.
You here again, Martin" exclaimed
Emma.
Yes" I answered; Captain Carey set
me down at the Havre Gosselin, and is
gone round to meet me at the Creux."

SON." asked Maria.
Yes" 1 replied.
''She is a very singular young woman"
she continued; 1--WE think her stupid. We
cannot make anything of her. But there
is no doubt poor Tardif means to marry
her"
'Nonsenser' 1 calculated hotly; 81 beg
your pardon, Maria, but l give Tardif
credit for sense enough to know his own
position
l had half an hour TO wait in the little
harbor, its great cliffs rising all about
me, with only a tunnel bored through
them to form an entrance to the green
island within. My rage had partly FUN
ed itself away before the yacht came in
sight.
