She climbed the five flights Of
stairs YEARLY and painted as she drew
the big key to her little room from
her pocket 1t was rather difficult to
hold two rolls and letter in one hand
while she unlocked the cumbrous door
with the other. She was always tired
after her days work in the "atelier."
and tonight she seemed to be more so
than usual, but her supper and the
letter would revive her. The precious
letter! 1t was late-perhaps the
stormy weather had belated the mail
steamers.
The concierge had smiled quite hui
manly when she gave 1t to her. The
concierge had heart after all hidden
underneath her stern manner and
somewhat soiled neckerchief. Anne
had wondered before If she had any
softness about her; she was always so
grim and forbidding even in her hab-
itual politeness. Now she knew she
had, for she had smiled with actual
gentleness when she gave Anne the
letter, and poor. lonely little Anne
could have kissed her hands in graft
tude.
The little room was icy cold and
Anne put the letter on the mantel,
where she could look at 1t while she
built her fire and prepared her tea
plain tea. At first she had had sugar
and milk in her tea; then she found
that a thin slice Of lemon was much
nicer and cheaper. After while she
discovered that sugar was useless
luxury, and she had finally come to the
conclusion that tea was more strength
ening without the lemon.
The letter was in blue envelope,

In the ten years from 1890 to 1900
the population of the United States in
creased from 1922, $50 to 76,304. 7s9-
a gain OF not quite 81 per cent In
the ten years from 1891 to 1901 the
Christian Endeavor societies. whose
annual convention has just ended. in
creased their membership from one
million to four million-a gain Of 300
per cent. Not quite all Of this Is In
America, for the Christian Endeavor
societies have been planted in all lands.
but 1t needs only simple mathemati-
cal calculation to show that II these
relative rates Of increase keep up 1t
will be but a matter Of twenty-five
years or so until all the inhabitants OF
the United States become Endeavorers.
and in less than fifty years the socie-
ties will include the entire population
of the globe. But without waiting for
that contamination we may congratu-
late ourselves upon the vigor Of an or
ganization whose sole purpose is to
work for good. That four million
young people can be found to act with
a single one of the many bodies formed
to elevate the world is pretty fair set
of to the selfish commercialism that
is doing so much to drag mankind
down.

than even Queen Victoria had. Her
children, grandchildren, great-grand-

four dukes and heirs to dukedoms. The
Dowager Duchess is daughter OF the

eldest daughter, the Dowager Duchess
of Lichfield, with her thirteen children
and thirteen grandchildren, who were
followed by the thirteen children and
fifteen grandchildren Of the Countess

are but little more known today than
they were 200 years ago. In fact, there
are portions of the pine Barrens"
which have never known the tread Of

that a party of naturalists-Mr. Stone
as chief and Messrs. REIN and Cog
gins as assistants, are starting out to
explore. Starting from Medford they
make a circuitous route, camping as
best they can for seven nights, and
returning to Medford with their COL
lections. In a certain sense Of the
word, this expedition is only prelim-
mary to others of more extended ma
ture which may follow. Work in this
region must be done by small parties
returning frequently to some base Of

able and transportation of heavy loads
Of specimens impossible. The expe-

Cross was graduated from Harvard
with the class of 1928. He was born
at Bridgewater, Mass. In 1908, and
was preps. ed for college by Rev. Pitt
Clark at Newton. Soon after his
graduation he was married to his first
wife. Mary ]. Danforth, who died In
1880. At that time Mr.. Cross was
principal of Chatham Academy. The
young Harvard man studied for the
ministry in the divinity school Of his
own university, and also at the An
dover Seminary. and was called to the
pastorate OF the First Congregational
church of West Boylston, Mass, In
1910. Thereafter he lived for nearly
fifty years in one house. He was q
member Of the state constitutional con-

In 1873. Although approaching his

Control of Balloons.

A cable dispatch from Paris de-
scribed how Santos Dumont, the Bra
lillian aeronaut, steer,d cigar-shaped
balloon around the Longechamps race
course several times, and, after clr-
cling around the Eiffel tower, went
back to his starting point. The state
ment. on its face, indicates that one
great difficulty in the navigation OF the
air has been surmounted.
Long voyages in balloons were maze
forty or fifty years ago. Professor w Sc
and three others started in balloon
from st. Louis in 1859 and Travelled
nearly 1900 miles, landing in New
York. Long voyages were also made
by other American aeronauts and by
balloonists in Great Britain and
France, but in every case the aeronaut
was helpless. The balloon carried him.
not where he wanted to go, but where
the winds willed The problem of sus-
tanning a man in air and OF flying
through the air was solved, but bal
looming of that time was simply mat
ter of adventure.
All the efforts of aeronauts were
then directed to controlling the large
balloons in use. No one succeeded.
Then came experiments looking to the
construction of balloon that would
sustain itself in midair and to the use
in connection Herewith OF motive
power and controlling apparatus that
would make the aeronaut the master
of his machine. Many Of the new bal
looms were comfortable in quiet air,
| but were utter failures when 1t came
to tests Of a practical nature.

In all the months she had lived In her
little room In Rue Servandoni. In
the summer time she had usually
taken the letter into the Jardin du
Luxembourg and read It over and over
again there in the soft twilight. No
one in the garden ever spoke to Anne
or disturbed her. Perhaps because her
clothes were too shabby and unat-
tractive, or. more probably. because
there was a nun-hke steadiness in the
gaze of her deep gray eyes that dis
armed the needless students who are
wont to tease unattended girls. For
even the American girl, the most free
of all creatures, comes In for her share
OF good-natured comment In the Quar-

Moy Kee, Chinese restaurateur Of
indianapolis, Ind, received a royal
gift a few days ago in the form Of
100 eggs that had reached the remark
able age OF 100 years. They were still
good, in fact, according to the Chinese
view, better than they were the day
they were laid. They had been cured
by some process known only to the
cooks Of China, who cater to the man
darins and the higher classes exclu-
sively. They had not been cooked,
nor had the shell been broken. The
eggs came from no less parsonage
that Ii Hung Chang, and the enclosed
card, bit OF queer paper, half q
foot long, expressed to Moy Kee the
compliments of the Chinese statesman
and wished the son Of the Flowery
empire long and happy journey
through life.

Goo Many Colonial Dame

There are how three Societies Of
Colonial Danes, each one OF which
claims the sole right to use that title.
The claim has caused so much friction
among the danes. and at times had
so seriously threatened to arouse the
old revolutionary spirit, that one OF
the organizations went into court and
demanded that 1t should decide which
one of the three was the one and only
original Colonial Danes of America.
The court-the Appellate division OF
the supreme court of New York-for
once was nonplused, and after long
and serious consideration sustained
the ruling OF the lower court that all
three had the right to use the title in
discriminatory AS this decision vir-
tually says there is no one and only
original set of Colonial Danes. and,
moreover. denies the right of mutual
exclusiveness, it may we'll be in
agined that the Colonial Danes OF all
three societies are in state Of mind
which can be better imagined than de-
scribed.
A recent writer proved that nearly
all the members of one society of CO.
lonial Danes who could trace ancestry
back to the Colonial times" were
descended from 'staunch old tories"
who never became reconciled to the
severance from slavish bondage to
Britain. In this respect the colonial
danes should not be COMPOUNDED with
the Danes of the American Revolu-
ton, who are the actual descendants Of
American patriots.

dress. She knew that 'Madamoiselle"
was used for her amusement, SO, OF
course, she was amused. The letter re-
ally seemed to smile back at her from
the mantel, and she crossed the room
to lightly kiss the envelope his lips
had sealed. Her pale cheeks filled
with color for an instant. and she
turned shyly back to the little fire
where a copper tea kettle had begun
to boil with a semblance of cheerful

There are songs enough for the hero
Who dwells on the heights Of fame;
I sing for the disappointed
For those who missed their aim.
I sing with fearful cadence
For one who stands In the dark,
And knows that his last best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
j sing for the GREATNESS runner,
The eager, anxious soul
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight Of the goal;
For the hearts that break in silence
With a sorrow all unknown;
For those who need companions.
Yet walk their ways alone.
There are songs enough for the lovers.
Who share loves tender pain.
sing for the one whose passion
Is given all in vain.
( For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way
I sing with heart o'erfowing,
This minor strain today,
And know the SOAR system
Must somewhere keep in space
A prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost the race.
For the plan would be imperfect
Unless it held some sphere
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that are wasted here.
