The horses looked jealously at our
supper. was sorry for them, especially
for OLD Put, whose great, intelligent
eyes said in the purest English, Il, too,
am hungry, master. . But could do
nothing I had no provender for horses
and SO told him to wait as best he
could until morning and would find
something for him if had to rob pa

In resignation like the wise horse he
was, while the brown hack, not so we'll
bred, tugged at his bride rein and
thrashed about until / threatened him
with big stick
After the chicken the girl served the
cold ham and drank from the canteen
again. I did likewise. Moreover, urged
her to wet her lips at the flask a second
time as further precaution against cold,
which she did literally and no more

blanket from my saddle bow and urged
her to wrap it around herself, but she
said Mo- that her heavy cloak was
sufficient, and she would not deprive me
even if was a misguided rebel. ] saw
that she spoke truly, as her cloak was
of the most ample character, and so,
having no further compunction, ] wrap
ped the blanket around me, Indian style,
and, sitting down on the dry leaves in
front of the fire, leaned my head against
the log. She sat on the log at the other
end, leaning her head against dead
bough which was thrust straight up in
the air. I had put the remains Of the
fF6S isions back in my saddlebaga
= triumphant, warm, we'll fed, my
cheerfulness, my satisfaction with my
self, increased. I stagsa iat2 the bed Of
red Goals and saw figures, pictures,
there. Near .fhe. center Qf the bed the
Goals had fallen into such shape that
could trace DISTINCTLY the epasslets Of a
general, and knew that those epaulets
were for me. The ssoals crumbled into
new shapes and built the house which
was to Be minis when the war was VIC
toriously over and ] was ready to retire
to it with my honors. She, too, seemed
TO be engaged in the same business, for
she was staring with half closed eyes
into the dreamy Goals.
'.Why are you a rebe1?" she asked.
.'Is it from pure peryerseness, for they
say all you Americans are sop
"They say many things about us in
England that are not true, said,
sand this is one Of them. The English
themselves have often been rebels and

have had the Stuarts, was placed on the
throne by just reballion. .
"You must know, she replied. 4tthat
in England the character Of the SOW
eraign is nothing. 1t is the sovereign
principle. The worse the sovereign the
better the court likes him. /"
We relapsed into silence and oul
study Of the red Goals. Old Put whin-
MED gently, raised his head end looked
beyond the fire, IS ff he saw something
in the darlnsss irnpenetSable to all bu1

ALGER AND ROOT.
From the Worlds Work.

from the WorIds Work
A greater contrast in appearance,
methods and temperament than that
between the present secretary Of war
and his immediate predecessor 1t would
be hard to conceive. Mr.. Alger had
the merchant. the personal manager,
the private man of business, plainly
stamped on him. His dignity of man.
ner was an artificial barrier which he
had raised between himself and a
world full Of competitors in trade, Of
interiors in authority, of persons from
whom he was to buy and to whom he
was to sell on the terms most advan-
tageous to himself. If he unbent,' 1t
was to be affable. or democratic"
When his patience was too sorely tried
he lost control of voice and gesture,
and an explosion followed.
Mr.. Root is a fighting lawyer It
would not be fair to say that he lacks
dignity of manner but he has a nat
ural reserve. more subtle than what is
commonly known as dignity. There IL
nothing stiff about his greeting, and
Yet ii does not put the caller wholly
at ease. He has no gift for small talk.
He does not know what it is to "pass
the time of day." to make conversa-
ton for the sake of being pleasant
at least in Office hours. When any
one calls upon him to transact busi-
ness, business must be transacted:
and when this is ended, the interview
is expected to end.

MONEY AND CHARACTER.
Material Prosperity in the Long Run
Favorable to Morality.

Bishop Lawrence. in The Worlds Work.
When the question is asked, "Is the
material prosperity OF this nation ia =
vorable or unfavorable to the morality
Of the people?' i say with all en-
phasis, "In the long run, and by all
means, favorable"
In other words, to seek for and earn
wealth is a sign of a natural, vigorous
and strong character. Wherever
strong men are, there they will turn
into the activities of life. In the ages
OF chivalry you will find them on the
crusades or seeking the Golden Fleece;
in college life you will find them high
in rank, in the boat, or on the athletic
field; in an industrial age you will
find them eager, straning every nerve
in the development of the great indus
tries. The race is to the strong. The
search for material wealth is therefore
as natural and necessary to the man
as is the pushing out of it's roots for
more moisture and food to the oak.
This is mans play, his exercise, the
expression of his powers, his person.
atty. You can no more suppress 1t
than you can suppress the tide of the
ocean. For one man who seeks money
for its own sake there are ten who seek
it for the satisfaction OF the seeking,
the power there is in 1t, and the use
they can make OF it, There is the ex-
hilaration OF feeling ones self grow
in ones surroundings; the man reach
es out, lays hold of this, that, and the
other interest, scheme, and problem.
He is building up a fortune? Yes, but
his joy is also tht he Is building up a
stronger ADLER, and more powerful
man.

More Surface Settings.

The residents in the vicinity of the
Nay Aug mine were again thrown into
a t'utter of excitement yesterday by
more surface settings near where
thirty-two men had such a narrow es-
cape from being entombed about six
weeks ago. The noticeable fissures are
of serious nature ana have caused
much alarm to property owners.
The doors and windows i'm the houses
of George Jones and Patrick Monahan n
are out of plumb and the buildings
are pitched to such an angle that they
may collapse at any nOmcnt. The
houses have been vacated.
The Spencer mine adjoining is also
feeling the effects of the cave and
much loss has already been entailed.
Fortunately none of the Nay Aug conf
pany's men We're in the mine yester-
day as the cavines are more extern
sive than the previous one.
