Following Orders.
BY HAROLD HUME.


Copyright 1902, Daily Story Pub. co.,
DICK had finally all the sentiment
knocked out of him so far as the BUSH
hess was concerned. He had come to
the great city and taken position as
reporter on the Screamer full of en-
thusiasm in the work and determina-
ton to succeed, and he had spared
neither time or energy to make good.
He had been the first man down to
report and last to go home, staying
about long after he could have gone
In the hope of catching a late emer-
gency assignment. He had sought
hard assignments which the older re-
porters lodged
He had not minded the sneers of
bis colleagues, but it had jolted his
.aith when the powers that were, utter
ly ignored his faithfulness and placed
1t not to his credit at all.
Dick felt the injustice of 1t keen
4y, but the first real blow came when
he had spent four days and nights on
an elopement story and had fallen
down while the Thunderer had all
the details on the first page-secured,
he afterward ascertained, by wire
from the Kansas City correspondent
and rewritten in the Office to make it
appear local story. He attempted
to explain to the city editor, but was
cut short
IL don't care a rap why you didn't
get it. The fact remains that you

there is to it. Results are what
count, and what want is stories, not
explanations"
This made Dick blind with fury, in
asmuch as he would have willingly
given up his day off to work on the
story The final crash came when
ae was sent out on big
financial story and found a
cad which seriously reflected
upon a concern in which the chief
hacker of the paper was the dominant
personality. Ha ~-~-n eu OUT Ills story
m o-~sner theory and ingeniously
covered the connection. When the
storm broke loose the next day and he
attempted to justify upon he was told
with more emphasis than courtesy
that he was not responsible for the
editorial policy of the paper.
What dye suppose we have copy
readers and city editors and night edi-
tors and managing editors here for?"
shouted the city editor. What you

and limitations, and then I'll give you
ono more chance" Then the other
fellows guyed him numerically as the
man who had appointed himself the
censor of the paper.
So it was that Dick became hard

is salary, and not for glory, and took

The clue led him straight into de-
nouement so startling as nearly to
floor him. Before he knew whittier
his Investigations were leading him
he stumbled full into the fact that
Herbert Knox, the son of "the old
...au, as the city editor was called.
was beyond peradventure the embez
zler and that he had covered his
crime so carefully by forgery that sus-
picion had not only been thrown upon
several others, but had been wholly
diverted from him. Indeed, in the Or
binary course of events he would have
been the last person toward whom it
could have been directed.
The discovery not only surprised
him, but it unnerved him. Herbert
was the pet and idol Of his father and
his appearance and record warrant
ed all the pride and affection be-
slowed upon him. He was a hand
some and apparently frank youth,
filled with good nature and gifted
with high ability. He had gone
through the schools and university
with high honors and was of such ex-
emplary character that he had never
given his parents a moments uneasi-
ness. He had no bad habits that any
one had ever heard of and was in very
fact model young man. After his
graduation his father, brushing aside
with indignation the suggestion that
the lad should follow in his footsteps,
had secured him a position in a great
financial establishment. 4
dub about in a cheap newspaper
job and get worse off the older he
grows? l think mott" exclaimed
Knox, ST., with spirit. "Aint one in
a family enough to get on dead one?
No, stree, that boy is going to have
the benefit of my hard experience.
. But he did much more and landed
Herbert in very good position in a
big institution where there was plenty
OF chance to be pushed ahead. And
Herbert had made good with his en-
ployers and had been rapidly ad-
vanced until he was entrusted with
grave responsibilities and drew a larg-
er salary than his sire. And it was
the one enthusiasm of "the old mans"
life. Herb" was forever on his
tongue and. forever in his mind.
1t was to this fact that Dicks mind
reverted the moment he realized the
significance Of his discovery. His
first impulse was to save the "old
man., from this awful pit that was
opening under his feet. - !
But he had not spared him, Dick
thought grimly, and had given him
cold notice that the. very next time
he failed to turn in his story as he
found it he would be discharged. VT.
Let him take his medicine, said
Dick, setting his lips, ominously. II
will follow the letter Of the law 5s
So he went to the Office, sat down
and wrote his story It was q pass
ing good one, forsooth. there being
plenty CO inspiration both IN the nov
city of the facts, the sensational quail
ity and best Of all. in the fact that
Dick knew well enough that the story
was a clean scoop. When It was fin
ished he read 1t over and II set his

THE BEAUTY OF THE COMMONPLACE.
BY ELIZABETH ELLICOTT POE.

One of the first duties of teacher Is to lnstlll
belief; longing for the IDEAL for the perfection
possible to the nature and character of his subject
This attaining to the ideal must ever be the grand
effort of man.
But the most elaborate description of food, the
most luscious fruits painted by the imagination will
not satisfy or suffice starving man. He desires
the alienation of the present; not the promise of he
future; the plain bread of today rather than the ich
foods and tempting deicaeies of tomorrow
SO the second duty Of the teacher must be to
point out the development of today To call at
ention to what already have achieved, and so to
encourage our hearts and inspire to progress onward
in the march toward the ideal.
'Famlariy breeds contempt This maxim,
man has made to describe that peculiar faculty in
man that causes things to lose their value after they
are obtained 1t is the action of indifference, not
contempt
We grow tired of what have; all its good is
lost in possession, and we begin again the race for
the things we have not
The every day things of life have suffered, and
suffered vastly, in this feeling Afar we roam,
searching for the beautiful and true, while, close at
hand. it nestles ike the modest violet, in lowly buds
of fairness.
We weary mind and heart alike in questions
that puzzle and bewilder We march with un
steady step down the road of life, often drorring be-
hind to shed an unbidden tear or moan with blind
ING pain, and in our march is the eagerness and
longing for the true. the beautiful.

Listen "A minute Through Tie quiet air steals the

until the dark comes, like the "bugaboo' of child

No human voice hope to equal the carol of
the bird 1t is the gift of nature to recompense it
for its brief life of summer months. But the birds
have the something in their songs that hold Us
spell-bound, the pure tones from the lips of a

the touch of divinity that reaonciles us to the loss of
the bird tones.

it; it is only seen again in the curIs that cluster

commonplace They lie within our sight and knowi-
edge. And they are overlooked in the rush for the
ideal.
What beauty lies in the commonplace. Man is
slowly beginning to find it. The nights are filed
with it, and the days resplendent with its
charm. Around the thousand and one ordinary acts
of mans life, what beauty and strength clusters
What miracles happening unperceived, in our
way! The words and looks of friends. the smiles
and lights of love ours, embodied and contained
in these beauties that pass by.

ton of knowing and being, will be yours, here and

CANINE TASTE.

They are having a small-sized fuss
in New York over the question of a
proper design for dog fountain. Some
time ago Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske,
and other people interested in the COM
fort of dogs, subscribed some $3.50 for
the purpose of establishing drinking
fountains where these animals might
slake their thirst. After the money
was raised the Society for the Proven
ton OF Cruelty to Animals submitted
a design for the fountain to Borough
President Cantor, who .stantly dis
approved of it. He said it was un-
esthetic and ugly. and that ne did not
believe that dog would drink out OF a
fountain which looked like that. He
finally agreed TO submit the design to
the Municipal Arts Commission, but
said that the money should never be
spent for the fountain unless the de-
sign was changed.
This is new sort Of consideration
for animals. The gentleman in ques-
tion is the first on record to suggest

Responsibility for Child Labor.

Pittsburg Dsipatch-The latest devel
opment in the question of child labor
places the responsibility directly where
it belongs. 1t is stated that one OF the
largest corporations engaged in manu-
featuring cotton duck has decided to re
move its plant from Connecticut 10 one
of the Southern States in order that it
may secure the child labor which it re-
CARDS as essential TO its prosperity.
As II is not asserted that the firm is
not making money in Connecticut, the
motive for the removal must be simply
the sordid one of greed for additional
profits.

Make Political Capital of Strike.

The fact that Senators Quay and Pen
rose are taking personal interest in
the coal strike and are doing their best
20 have the trouble arbitrated." said RI.
d. Green, of Scranton, Pa. at the Ma
tional yesterday. has given rise to the
report that continuance Of the strike
will endanger the success of the Re
publican State ticket this fall. So far
as know, there is no politics in the
strike. but it is not improbable that the
Democrats may make some political
capital cut of the strike II 1t should
last until near the election.
Strikes always hurt, more or less,
the party in power, and therefore it is
believed that unless something is done
to bring about a settlement there will
be a falling off in the Republican vote,
with a fighting chance for the Demo-
Gratis to win. Senator Quay is sincere
in this matter. and / believe something
will be accomplished within the next few
