 At the door Briggsy put his hand on his friends arm.
 Cart" he said. do you think Mamie II like you for doing this?'
 Carter shook off the hand.
 Don't she want to walk?" he de- manded. There's nobody but her and me, and suppose something d happen to me and she'd be left by herself? Could she go on sitting up there alone and nobody to do anything for her? Amt we alone in the world-father and mother both dead?"
 Briggsy was also alone in the world his natural protectors having left him on a doorstep in his infancy, from which doorstep he had been transport ed to an asylum, where he had thrived till he was old enough to be transfer red to an institution where he had been taught his trade and sent out into the world Though he had nothing to say in answer to Carters argument, he knew Carter and how next to impossi ble it was to bend him once his mind was made up.
 Thus they went into the store, and in d JSW HllDul6S IlOIS Lll6y we're OLt LAcIA way to Mamie.
 Gro see her white face light up when she spied them from her window, to hear her exclamation when Carter showed her what he had for her!
 "Oh, Tom!" she said. And you've saved for a year to get it!" She pulled his face down to hers. "I never told you, but I've wanted to walk so much And now I'll learn all over again. And maybe I can go and find better paying work for if you'd get sick or be laid off at the factory what should we do with the little I earn? Oh. Tom. what a dear fellow you are!'
 But Carter was gloomier than ever.
 Now" he said, "Ill< go and get Mrs Willett to help you put the apparatus on. It's perfectly simple. You see, this bandage is on top at the back and this stay comes down behind" Briggsy left them and went to his own room, though he did not get his supper, as he should have done. He sat down and thought. Soon he heard Ma mic laughing with glee and could hear her making her first attempt at walk ing clumsily. heavily. but taking step nevertheless.
 "Yes,'' said Briggsy, pounding his hand on the table. 'I'll do it.' It was If1n TeSOlullon, dIu yel IL dAu hoI enable him to make prepara tions for his supper. Instead for some time he sat there in the dark and never once raised his head.
 Then all at once he heard a strange clamping sound outside his door. And there was Mamie, Carts arm around her. positively standing upright. T thought I'd pay you call,' she said. It's just grand! I'll learn to walk in no time. And then what holi- days we'll have! We'll go to the coun- try and see the trees and the birds or down town to look at the parades.

pattern after it. A most important part of the youthful American sov- ereign's training is the requirement. of the high bred manners which always mark the lady and gentleman. It is as important to know and practice cour- tesy and politeness as to learn the mul- tiplication table up to twenty-five. The young man or woman who has agree able, polished manners will get on in the world twice as well as even a gen. ius who Is boorish and selfish.
 The basis of all good manners is. of course, a feeling of kindliness toward others. Then in building upon that we are to be guided by two general princi- ples First let us say each to ourselves
 T will never do in the presence of another any act that will be offensive to that person. The second general principle of true politeness to be kept before us is this: "As I pass through life I will do whatever I can to be helpful to those I meet"
 To begin, let us square our table manners with the first principle. It is
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-22

extremely offensive to others to grab the biggest and best piece of food. The pleasure we would get from eating it will not at all make up for the dis pleasure and contempt we rouse against ourselves in the minds of others. Again, does it look nice and agreeable to you when a big grown man spraWls over a table With his arms. taking up twice as much room as he is entitled to and almost leaning his head upon the table when he eats? Of course not. He is a person who did not learn good manners when he was boy and conse- quently does not know how he offends against good taste Very well; take an object lesson from him. Sit erect at ta- ble, never lean your arms upon it and do not dip your head down when you go to take a mouthful of food. Lean forward slightly; that is all
 Of course all boys. and girls know al ready that they must eat with their forks and never put their knives in their mouths, but 1 have seen some quite large boys do the knife swallow ing act. Again. Of course you know better. but do you ever shove your food
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-22

your food with them. Hold knife, fork and spoon always by the handle. Again mind you, never, never lick your fingers at table as dog or cat licks it's paws. It is a shocking thing to all well bred persons, yet I have seen grown young lady who thought she was some- body do it. A child five years old properly trained would have been ashamed to do it. And don't pick your teeth before people. Perfect table man. ners stamp at once the lady or gentle man.
 There seem to be many "don'ts" in this ma atter of good manners. One of these is don't slam doors. particularly in others faces. There are in our towns and cities many swing doors. especially at the entrance of railway stations and public buildings. Two out of four peo- pie who pass through them simply let them fly. Many a time two or three persons are immediately behind this thoughtless individual. The swinging door frequently strikes them in their faces, knocking them back and injur- ing them. It would be easy to get ones nose broken in that way. We might expect a dog or a pig to go through a door and let it fly like that, but hardly an intelligent human being.
 And, speaking of doors, the well bred boy walking in company with ladies, even if they are only little girl ladies, always advances ahead, throws the door open and holds 1t like a gallant gentleman till the ladies pass through. He himself goes through last, closing the door without noise.
 It is a dead sure sign of lack of good

know what you want to say. And my suggestion to you is that you go out and take a walk and think 1t over. I'll have a talk with you by and by"
 I'm ready" Briggsy began.
 'No. you ain't," said the man. "You ain't ready. and neither am I. Go out and take a walk
 And Briggsy went. It was matter of shame to him afterward because he ought to have had the courage to do as he had intended, but this man confused him and frightened him, and he did what he was told
 On the way home he saw nothing of Carter, and somehow he dared not look up at Mamie's window as he passed. He made his way to his room and sat there a long time thinking.
 "If that detective doesn't come for me tonight said he. "I'll fix the whole thing in the morning. They'll believe it was me. I ain't got any parents nor friends. was raised in an institution. Nobody II expect anything different of me. I'll fix it.'
 So he sat there while the darkness gathered and hardened his heart to bear the brand of shame Nobody came near him. He judged that Mamie was not in her room. She must have learned to walk already, and her brother had gone out with her. She would have good

come to invite you to take supper with us We'll celebrate the day"
 Of course Briggsy went.
 'I'll get some cakes" said Carter and disappeared.
 Was there ever a brother like him ?" said Mamie as the door closed on him. Maybe mother sees. Mother left him in my charge, you know. when she died and told me to be good to him. And here I've been a drag on him for year!' Tears streamed down her face, And what he must have deprived him self of in that year to get this thing for me! l don't see how he saved, either for his wages are not much more than yours. Hush, here he is.''
 She was lively all the evening; so lively that it was a wonder her brother remained gloomy and at last said he had forgotten something and must go out. Briggsy also left the room.
 Going with me-" Carter asked. I'm not feeling very we'll and a walk II help me-"
 Briggsy said he believed he'd go to his own room.
 Go if you want to-" growled Carter and went down the stairs.
 Briggsy had a hard night of it. He scarcely slept at all. Once he said:

 Briggsy wondered if she were not sometimes as gloomy as Cart when mo- body was by and she sewing there alone and seeing no end to her helpless ness. And now there might be a chance for her to walk. And yet
 He bent over his work and filed and polished with feverish energy. When the days duties were over he waited for Carter, for they usually went home together Carter had a frOWn on his face, such q froWn as settled there when he was in his 'bluest" mood. They walked along ill silence.
 ''Mamie's going to get that thing that I'll help her to move about Carter all at once broke out
 Tt costs $50, don't it?" asked Briggsy.

 There Is really no mystery about this experiment, although to those who have never tried it it appears very sur prising, and the spectators are con- vinced that you have substituted for the borrowed article a handkerchief of your own which has been prepared to resist fire by some chemical process.
 The performer has only to take care not to allow the handkerchief to rest motionless while in contact with the flame, since the contact in the act of drawing the handkerchief through the flame is so momentary that the cloth is barely warmed in its passage

 idly through the work shop. It was quicker than a flash. The "old man" was just taking a long step over a big splash of oil on the floor, and he didn't get his foot down on the other side of it before the money was fin Carter's pocket and Carter was at work again as if nothing had happened. A chill went up Briggsy's spine, and then he burst into perspiratiOn all over It was as if he had done the thing him. self, to see it done like that; and his eyes travelled all around the shop with a guilty haste. He gasped with relief when he found that no one had been looking.
 But this couldn't be the end of it. The "old man. would certainly miss his money the quicker because he always walked with his hands in his pockets. It was a wonder that he didn't miss 1t before he got out of the room, yet Briggsy saw the door close behind him.
 ne IA OS OdCh, lIG II OG OcACh AlA SL minute" thought Briggsy. And then what II I do? If it was anybody but Cart! It would kill his sister, I couldn't give away Mamie's brother Not me!'
 The thought of Mamie suggested an interesting possibility, and as the min utes passed and the ''old man" did not come back Briggsy had time to con- slider the matter. The gist of it was that Carter had not taken this money for himself. but for his sister.
 Mamie was lame; she couldn't walk a step alone. But the doctor who had look ed out for her case more or less since she was hurt had said that with the aid of a certain complicated machine to support her back she could walk pretty we'll. The machine cost $50, and that was a good deal of money to earn Briggsy had sometimes thought of bOr- rowing it, but never of stealing it.. Would he have thought of it if the money had fallen at his feet as it had fallen at Carter's? Briggsy excused himself from considering this question by saying: I'm not so quick as him. I think slow.'
 Then he fell to thinking of Mamie as he was accustomed to see her evening after evening at her window as he and Cart reached home, smiling and making believe she liked to sit there forever sewing at the work for which she was paid such starvation prices; though, as she said, the work was not over fine and probably worth not much more than she received for it. That was the way with Manie-alWays looking on the bright side and encouraging her brother, who was often gloomy and blamed himself for the accident which had injured her spine.

 In the morning he had no desire for breakfast He did not wait for Carter but went off alone an hour too early to go to work. He walked the streets till the factory whistle sounded and then went to the room where he and Carter and ten other men worked together.
 Briggsy was the last to arrive. and the door had hardly closed upon him when it opened to admit the "old man" His name was Hal1ett. and he was a fine old fellow, very well liked by the employees He was of stout build, with a round smooth, boyish face, and he had scanty gray hair which stood up in little tufts It was said that these tufts stiffened like the hair on a cats back when he was
