Sarah Grand ON American Women.
Some American mothers, / am told,
are educating their daughters on the
English plan. They are making a grave
mistake. A woman has her own indi-
vidual life to lead. Not on the charac-
ter Of her husband, if she has one, but
on her own, will she stand or fall and
be equal or unequal to her many op-
portunities to WELD an influence for
good and to the grave responsibilities
of womanhood. Therefore her develop
ment must not be cramped and hinder
ed by the foolish conventions of a less
enlightened age, as in England, but
must be given plenty Of room and en-
couragement, as in the United States.
A woman is more womanly and charm
ing for being broadly educated and led
out Of the mists of ignorance, which
are never a protection, but always a
menace.
l am happy to say that, while the old
fashioned conventional ideas in regard
to young women and their education
are dying hard in England, newer and
more progressive ideas are gaining
wider consideration. While we are far
behind the United States in women's
colleges, we have two institutions
which are devoted to the highest edu-
cation Of women, and our high schools,
the plan of which we borrowed from
you, I think, are imparting the funda-
mental principles of good education to
thousands Of young women. - Sarah
Grand in Success.

Recfting tn Liturgy.

When Prince George of Wales took
command of the gunboat Thrush, he
also took upon himself the usual duty
of conducting the religious service on
the vessel on Sunday mornings. Every
thing went on well apparently, but at
the end of about four weeks some one
suggested to the prince that he was
not reciting the liturgy according to
Cranmer, although the ships company
was highly fiattered by his rendering.
He had been reciting %fervently and
humbly, 1--WE have done those things
which we ought to have done, and we
have left undone those things which
we ought not to have DONE" and the
crew had been accepting his statement
Of the case and feeling good.

idea of something cheap.

There was in his collection a Boston
terrier so much like Miss Marriston's
that when / had first e Jim at her

she had bought him from BuHdy.
Would she know the difference if I
bought Bundy's dog and carried it to
her house? Probably not. I took a
look at the animal on Thursday morn

to see whether he would answer to the
name Of Jim. He answered to that as
well as to any other and much better

but for her sake--and a little for Jud.
sons.
It was about A o'clock when / enter
ed Bundy's noisy shop and inquired
for the Boston terrier.
"Just sold him, SIR" said Bundy.
"But I can get you a better n any
time on twenty-four hours notice"
81 don't want a better one" said I,
sitting a terrible disappointment. 81
want one just like him. Can you du-
plicate the brdte?"
Certainly, certainly, SIR" replied
Bundy, and upon this assurance gave
him $40 as q guarantee Of good faith.
Then I went up to 679 Madison ave-
nue. to shed a few tears over Jim's
poor little collar and chain.
There were no tears in the house
when I arrived. All was mirth and
jolIity. The fatted calf was expiring
and the prodigal was in clover. The
servant who opened the door informed
me, with a happy smile, that Jim had
come back.
In the parlor I found Miss Marriston,
with the terrier clasped in her arms.
She was squeezing him so hard that he
looked somewhat alarmed and cast an
appealing eye toward Judson, who sat
there radiant with JOY and triumph.
ooh, Mr.. Reynolds" cried Miss Mar
riston, ''Tom has found jim"
"Tomy' Well, that settled my case.
II congratulate you, Judson," said I
in a voice like the wind through weep
ing willows.
Then I cast my eye upon Jim. And,

A young woman of Irish extraction
burst into the room bearing in her
arms the original Jim. He was so thin
that I could see his heart beat. and
thus I was aware that he was alive.
The shivers that were passing over
Judson at this m were so cold
that it was painful to stand near him;
SO l moved away.
The servant set down the real Jim
upon the carpet, where he feebly lap
ped a white spot in the hope that it
might be milk.
"The poor little crayture has been
shut up in Kitty Molony's o these
three days witOut a toothful o. food to
eatir' cried the girl. "How ever did he
get there I dunno, but twas there I
found him, sure enough"
I happened to know that Kitty was a
servant hat had been away from the
house Tor three OF four days ON ac-
count Of serious illness in her family,
and T resolved to send her q handsome
present.
Meanwhile Miss Marriston had stood
like a statue, holding the bogus Jim
head downward and oblivious to his
discomfort, while she stared at the
ghost of a dog that staggered toward
her across the carpet.
"Mr. Judson," she said at last. But
at that moment her hand released it's

stood that the servant
was in a dungeon in the cellar subsist-
ing on bread and water, but perhaps
that may have been only a suggestion
of Judson as to what would be apprO-
pirate.
When we three had shed a few tears.
Judson began to relate anecdotes Of
Jim in a soft and tremulous voice. Jim
may have been about a year old, and
his brief span of life was utterly mad
equate to hold the adventures which
Judson tried to crowd into it. Why,
the cunning things that Jim had done
on the way to New York would have
enlivened a journey from Boston to
Tloilo. Yet Miss Marriston listened to
this arabian Nights entertainment
as if every word had been vouched for
by the recording angel.
It appeared that Judson had endured
the hardships of the baggage car on the
way over in order to enjoy the pleasure
Of Jim's society and to prevent the
baggage men from dropping trunks on
him. and that Jim had won the hearts
of the train hands to such an extent
that the engineer could with difficulty
be kept in the cab, SO great was his de-
sire to crawl back over the tender and
play with the dog. All the truth in
these stories-and some of the fiction
was old and stale. for Judson had made
the most of it two months before; but
Miss Marriston listened, with tears in
her eyes.
l didn't play second fiddle to Judson
that day. / wasn't in the band at all.
When we finally ceased to eulogize
and got down to practical suggestions
for the recovery Of Jim. | ventured to
offer such small assistance as a man of
nc Importance would be supposed to
render. but it appeared that everything
had already been done. l understood
Judson to say that he had notified the
police Of America and Europe and had
engaged a large corps of detectives.
While he and l were at the house q

descript animals which they were will
ing to exchange for twenty dollar bills.

fast that the eye could not follow

rattle like a child's toy as the bogus

Judson seemed nailed to the floor.
Miss Marriston could only scream.

thing at the right time. / bent over

that it was a leg of Bundy's dog be-

Jim's.
"Open a window" I yelled to Jud-
son, and he obliged mechanically.
Seeing what a complete automaton
he was, an inspiration came to me.

sake alone, as l would
have done. The difference was as
wide as the ocean. 1t involved the
fundamental distinction between good
and evil.
Of course, the only right course for
me to pursue was to expose the fraud
at once. Yet I hesitated to bring pain
to a tender heart, and, moreover, l
might not be able to prove my accuse
tion. Without doubt, Bundy was brib-
ed. My own common sense told me
that. It had been in my mind to pay
him as much as $50 extra for an oath
of silence. A sinuous, underhand
fellow like Judson would surely not
neglect so simple a ~precaution.
I thought this all over carefully and
then decided that my regard for Mary
Marriston was too great to permit of
my bringing unhappiness to her. 1t
would be better to punish Judson some
other way Or even to leave him to be
gnawed by remorse unless I could get
absolute proof of his guilt.

fortune in an Observation-Disclosures by

brute answer to the name OF Jim, but
Miss Marriston applies the name also
to only one Of us.
It occurred to me that I would call
and offer condolences, and it also came
into my mind that that fellow Tom
.iJudson would probably make the loss
gof the dog an excuse for paying his re-
!spects. He rushes to the house on ev-
cry possible pretext. On the whole. l
felt pretty sure that Judson would see
rthe advertisement and get away from
business early that he might take his
worthless sympathy to 679 Madison av-
enue.
I found it possible to get away my
self about half past 3 o'clock that aft
ernoon, and it was not long past A when
I reached her house. Judson was al
ready there. He had installed himself
as chief mourner, and he could not
have been driven out OF that parlor
with a battering ram. II is quite a
good sized room, but Judson and /
crowd it uncomfortably.
Miss Marristcn was telling the story
of Jim's loss as I entered. Jim had
been chained to the les of a large chair
an the young lady's Doudoir in the lat
ter part of Monday afternoon. When
Miss Marriston was about to dress for
dinner, she had discovered the dogs
