ations will not allow an engineer, fire.
man, conductor or brakeman to drink
intoxicating liquors while on duty
and these employees are considered to
be on duty all the time, for they are
subject to call at any moment. The
only time they can indulge in a lively
jag is when they take a lay-off; and
If that occurs too often they are liable
to be dropped from the payroll. In
the state of Ohio a railway company
is subject to fine of 5000 for allow
ing train to go out with an engineer
in charge of it who is addicted to the
use of intoxicating liquors. A railroad
engineer requires nerve and cool judg-
ment from the moment that he sets
foot upon his engine, and railroad cor
porations in the past have found it to
be costly thing, in the loss of life
and property, to trust man in such
responsible places whose brain is in
the least clouded by the use of liquor.
The business world is moving in this
direction, and men who spend their
leisure hours and money in indulging
their appetites for strong drink are
dropped out of the list. There was
superstition at one time that only
drinking men were geniuses and
skilled in the mechanical arts; that the
best workmen were those who went to
bed every night drunk. The men who
are making their mark today in the
business and mechanical world are the
ones who live temperate lives. Charles
Schwab, the man who was recently ap-
pointed president of the United Steel
corporation at salary of 100000
year, attributes all his success to alb
stemious habits, and he urges upon
all young men to leave liquor alone
if they wish to win success and happi-
ness.-Hamilton Spectator.

years? Why, you yourself told me
only the other day you could not hope
70 see the time the estate would re-
trieve itself. I ask you, therefore, is
1t honorable to borrow?"
something must be DONE" Sir
George urged feebly, "else we must
starve."
Then let us starve." cried Mildred
vehemently; "far better do that, or
work for our daily bread as others
have done before us, than live COM
fortably on other peoples money. Let
us be honest, whatever we are; and
surely to borrow without hope of be-
ing able to repay is the very acme Of
all dishonesty"
Lady Caroline rose, pale and trem-
bling.
Mildred" she said, chow dare you
speak SO to your father? You have
altogether forgotten yourself, think.
How can you presume to dictate to
him what is right or wrong? Is he
not your father? Are you not his
child? All, it is because he has been
so good to you that you now fail in
love and obedience to him!"
1t was the first time she had ever
rebuked Mildred within her memory,
and her voice shook with the unwont-
ed agitation.
do not speak to her like that" in
terrupted Sir George, gently. "She is
right; she has but spoken the truth.
1 can now see for myself that my in
tention was dishonorable and dishon-
est"
But Lady Caroline was still stung to
the quick.
"And you, you ungrateful GIRL" she
went on, taking no notice of her .hus-
bands speech, chow can you claim TO
have any voice in the matter at all
you who could have saved us all by
putting out your hands and would
not?'
Hush, Carry!" interposed Sir George,
authoritatively. 1--WE have had enough
of that subject. I will hear no more
of it. Thinking it over of late, 1 can
see no just reason why Mildred should
sacrifice herself to please her family
If am to be beggared in my old age"
he said, with wretched attempt at a
smile, "the sooner it comes to pass the
BETTER"
An awful pain arose in Mildred's
heart; her mothers words had sunk
deep into it. Was she indeed the cause
Of all this cruel suffering? Was it
through her fault that sorrow had fall
en- upon the closing years of her father
and mother?

Collectors OF Rare Volumes Have q Hor-
ror of the Borrow ers.
A noted book collector of New York,
one whose library is filed with some
of the rarest treasures of the biblio-
phile's heart, recently complained of
the total lack OF the collectors spirit
among literary men. Il was recently
asked by a literary man to send him a
copy of an extremely rare book that I
have on my shelves to aid him in some
work that he is doing. Now, want to
help him all can, and if he will come
to my house he can have the use of the
book as long as he wants it, under the
most favorable circumstances. But
send him the book-no, under no cir
cumstances! It is not the fact that it
is worth hundreds of dollars anywhere
in the market, but the fact that if
damaged or lost it would be utterly ir-
replacable that makes the collector
shudder. If it were lost or spoiled Mr..
Literary Man would send an abject let
ter expressing his deep contrition at
an untoward accident, perhaps with a
check inclosed, but of the real horror
of the situation I think he and his
tribe could have no inkling."

CHAPTER XIII,

Mildred descended the stairs and
hurried across the hall, giving herself
no time to think of or mediate on
what lay before her, and, going into
the drawing-room, found Lord Lyndon
standing with his back to the fire. She
went up to him, and held out her hand.
IT want you to do something for me-
she said, in low, choked voice-"will
you do it?''
"Of course, I WILL" he responded in
his pleasant, CHEEKY way. why do
you ask me that? Have you yet to
learn that there is nothing in the
world I would not do for you if
could?"
"Hush!" she said. II would rather
you did not promise just yet. Wait
until you have heard my request, for
it is no ordinary one. I do not think
you can grant it. I shall not think
it in the least strange if you tell me
you cannot"
At least let me hear what it u.s." he
requested, gently.
II want you to lend me, for an indef-
mite period, fifteen thousand pounds"
Lord Lyndon was so taken aback
that at first he scarcely recognized the
Importance Of an immediate reply. He
was rich, certainly-richer far than
many men who were accounted we'll
possessed of this worlds goods; but
fifteen thousand pounds was a sum
that few could put their hands on at
a moments notice. He hesitated, there
fore, for a little, and then recovering
himself said quietly:
''What day shall bring it to you?
Or would you prefer paying it in any
where?" "s".
"You will, give it to me, then? You
really mean it? Are you sure-cer-
tain? Think what a large sum it is,
and how small is your hope of repay
ment, and do not speak in too great
a hurry"
IT am sure" he said. II promise
you"
''And about securities?" questioned
Mildred, trying anxiously to recollect
all that she had ever heard about
money matters, and not succeeding at
all.
1--WE will not speak about securities"
answered Lyndon, gently. LET it be
an arrangement between you and me
alone; I shall trust to you to repay
me the moment you are able"
The utter kindness and nobility Of
his nature touched her to the heart
what shall say to your" she said
in low tone, while a strange trem-
bling pervaded her voice. Elbow shall
I thank you?"
"Say nothing-do not thank me at
ALL" he answered, in hurried, panied
manner, moving back a few steps from
her.
Meanwhile time was flying. One,
two, three minutes passed, marked by
nothing except the small ormolu orna-
ment on the chimney piece, as it licked
away its little monotonous existence.

Prohibition That Il Effective.

In many cities of the United States
The authorities have issued positive
orders against police officers entering
saloons except in the line Of duty; to
drink glass of liquor while on duty
is punishable by fine and suspension,
and if persevered in the officer is dis
missed from the service. The same
rule is also made applicable to mem

So he passed that was the man.
Cover over the memory!
Such there were since song began,
Never more than two or three
Stopped from Gods lips hymning
sweet
To lie and kiss satyr's feet.
Reaching hands that less and less
From the reedy-deep morass
Lifted ever longfully s..

Carrying sweet fame, belated,
That had once shook songfully-
So it set in mist and rain,
The sad star of Paul Verlaine.
Star is set and flame is dead.
Leave alone the agony!
Hidden in his sullen head
Was an angels pedigree.
They know not the flame he bore
Who knew naught to love him for.
They ne'er saw that soul of his,
(For its wrinkled chrysalis
That was gashed and tore with it)
Sick to loathing with the knotted
Satyr-scented and besotted
Body that it bore with it.
Poor, dead flesh that lay in pain
Claiming what was Paul Verlaine.
