The story involves the military smart

dow, sergeant Of the Tenth Dragon
Guards, saves the life of his lieutenant,
Lancelot Pleydell, in frontier fight. The
officer is naturally grateful In the course
of time Sergeant Hinds&is promoted to,

IN action. The regiment is ordered home
and Kinds finds himself transported with
in a few weeks from the rough work of a
frontier garrison to the center of the
social swim in Belgravia
Englishmen are enthusiastic admirers
Iof pluck but they are also the most UNI
reasoning devotees of caste anywhere out
side of India. They admire this young
officer from the ranks, but to accord him
social equality they cannot bring them
selves to do. Lieutenant Kinds displays
certain gaucherie at drawing-roooms and
levees. He becomes the: butt of the club
set, the jest of thoughtless women. Men
call him a. 'sbounder,' women refer to
him as 'such an odd sort of person." and
these phrases, judiciously repeated about
town Will damn any aspirant to social dis
tipction.
Repealed and angered by cold, studied
courtesy, Lieutenant Kinds is the more
attracted toward one whose kindness to
him has been uniform, Baroness Royden,
a brilliant and beautiful young woman.
This excites ribald comment. It is the
jest of club, drawing-room and boudoir.
At last news of this reaches Kinds. He
discovers that Lieutenant Pleydell, whose
life he saved, loves the baroness and is in
turn beloved by her, but that owing to
gaming debts, Pleydell is. unable to de-
clare his passion. Hefeit-is that the SUI

far back into ancient history as to take
the old, old Jingle, Captain jerks of the
Horse Marines and weave story for
the stage around it. A notable success in
this sort of work has been THE Volun
teer Organist,' the story of which has
been taken by William B. Gray from his
successful song of the same title. The
song had phenomenal sale-over 2S5,000
copies being sold in the United States
alone, and now that Mr.. Gray has placed
it in dramatic form, it is accepted by the
appreciative public with even more gusto
than the pretty song.
The piece necessarily introduces sew
eral characters not found in the song, but
they are all presented in such a natural
manner that one wonders how the song
prospered so well without them.
The piece in way is a temperance les
son. 1t is also an exposition of some Of
the higher traits in humankind as con-
trasted to the sinister tendencies common
in every community. The chief scene
discloses the interior of a church, with
the volunteer organist seated at his in
strumelt, while the sweet ringing voice of
a boy singer is heard in the powerful
melody of 'tThe Holy City The regular
organist has declined to act because the
daughter Of a tavern keeper sings with
the choir. The minister loves the daugh-
ter and thus arOuses the animosity of
members of his flock Another scene in
the last act is the rescue of a child in
snow storm by pair of genuine St. Ber-
nards from Switzerland. These dogs have
done actual service IN the Alps, and one
of them is the hero of a score of rescues.
The two are considered the finest speci-
mems Of the st. Bernard ever brought to
America.

The TroIIey's fright ofway."

track at peril of life, and that the mo-
torman, after the death of one of the

and lesser injury to still others, should
proclaim his right of way" with
prompt effrontery, Is only an incident
of an extraordinary state of things
which has sprung up In a few years
with regard to our streets ana roads.
These have been invaded, with rapid.
ity that is dumbfounding. by uses
never contemplated, and which the
public should have been better advised
than to have so easily allowed. Just
as we We're on the point of getting rid
of "level crossings" in the country,
level crossings became the rule every
where, in city and country, so far as
the trolley and the horseless carriage
are concerned. In the city the street
trolley is inevitable, but 1t has too often
taken possession without sufficient re.
compense or safeguarding. In the city
there is no place for a surface car line
except in the street, and the speed is
partly regulated by the necessity of
frequent stops. But in the country
and in the smaller communities there
is no excuse for the seizure by the
trolley companies of the roads, which
We're long ago dedicated to foot pas
sengers and private conveyances, and
where the meeting between these and
the rushing cars has always a posi-
bility Of danger. The trolleys should
as often they do-go through the
fields and touch the villages and
smaller towns at points where the
danger from running down pedestrians
and frightening horses would be re
duced to minimum.-The Century

THE, FALL OF THE LEAF.

THs evening OF the year draws on,
The fields a later aspect wear
Since summers garishness Is gone,
Some grains OF pight tincture the noontide

Behold the shadows OF the trees
Now circle wider bout their stem,
Like sentries that by slow degrees
Perform their rounds, gently protecting
them.
And ms the year doth decline.
The sun allows a scantier light;
Behind each needle OF the pine
There turks small auxilar to the night.

His eresk grown fainter, but more broad,
A Aim of autumn DER the summer spread.
Small birds in fleets migrating by,
Now beat across some meadows bay,
And rs they tack and veer on high,
With faint and hurried click beguile the
way.
Far in the woods these golden days,
Some leaf obeys its Makers call

With delicate touch the prelude OF the

Gently Withdrawing from its stem,
II lightly lays itself along
where the same hand hath pillowed them,
Resigned to sleep upon the old years

The loneliest birch Ia brown and sere,
The furthest pool is strewn with leaves,
Which float upon their watery bier,
Where is no eye that sees, no heart that
grieves.

The crfsped and yellow leaves around
Are hue and texture OF my mood
And these rough burrs my heirlooms on
the ground

Spectacle. in Germ

The German Emperor has entered
upon a new phase of his development,
If we are to believe the statement that
he was lately seen reading the news
papers in railway train with the help
of pince-nez. Nor is this to be won
dered at when We remember the Ia.
ment once made by the kaiser himself,
who, speaking of his school days at
Cassel, remarked that out of class
of twenty. mo fewer than eighteen
of his fellow-pupils wore spectacles,
while two Of these. with their glasses
on, could not even see the length of
the table" AS compared with other
nations, the Germans may be described
as spectacle-woaring people, AMI
there can be no doubt that the main
cause Of their defective sight is the
peculiar character of their type, which
is most trying to the eyes. The pres.
ent emperor, no less than Bismarck,
has always protested, on patriotic
grounds, against the substitution of
the Roman for the Teutonic, or black.
letter, character in print, and both
have had to suffer equally for their
Chauvinism.-London Chronicle.
