HAVE A RIGHT TO DO GOOD.
French Court Refuses to Punish
Man for Helping a Poor But
Worthy Family.

Marcel Schwab, well-known French
writer, is the hero of singular ven
ture in philanthropy just aired in the
Paris court. Mr.. and Mrs. mile
Moreno, of the Coincide Francaise)
Schwab some time ago took an apart
ment of five rooms in the Rue Vato1s
and four months before the lease ex-
pired decided to take another apart
ment.
Mr.. Schwab thought it would be a
pity to leave empty four months an
apartment to which he had right
when there were so many worthy
poor people who would be glad OF
the help of a lodging free of rent for
that time. So he asked the project
of police to choose a worthy honest
family to profit from it. Of course
many bohemians of all types present
ed themselves, but the project al
length chose a family consisting OF
mother and daughter. The latter
was supporting her parent.
The proprietor of the house sued
Mr.. Schwab for $500 damages and SAC
for each day that the mother and
daughter remained in the apartment
and kept it from being rented. The
landlords lawyer protested elo-
quently against the use of sewing
machine by the little family The
court decided in favor of Mr.. Schwab
conceding his right to sublet, as he
paid his rent, and to install the poor
family in the apartment since they
were honest. The court likewise
sanctioned the sewing machine

Il am more sure OF her every Gay,
he said once. "Have you ever noticed
what a soft voice she has?-an aw-
fully sweet voice, Miss Barbara. And
she is of just that shy, reserved kind
"a true woodland spirit. Miss Sarah
is quiet, too-but l don't think it can
be Miss Sarah, do you, Miss Barbara?
1t is almost sure to be one or the
othe.' of them-I am positive of that
and it doesn't seem to me that Miss
Sarah is possible"
eff Miss Sarah were beautiful there
would be two possibilities, said Miss
Barbara with a little smile; "and
that would lead to a great deal OF
irresolution and complicate your de-
cision."
He flushed uneaslly.
sBut the other one is beautiful, =
he said "And I am sure she is the
one.''
At the end of the week he was
given to silence, and instead of sit
ting in the gallery and talking with
Miss Barbara he was prone to walk
up and down the white path in the
moonlight. He had reached the point
where speech was difficult. Many
nights had passed before he paused
at the step and looked up at Miss
Barbara, sitting in the shadow.
care you going to tell me that you
have found her?" she asked, without
turning her head.
he
with a new quality in his voice.
'That isl have found-Eve. / sup
pose must have come here for that
'And she is-the lady of your
dreams?" asked Miss Barbara after
a little pause.
''She may be-" he said. ST don't
know I have forgotten the dreams.
The only thing I remember is that
I am in love with the most beautiful
woman I have ever known"
"What more could one ask" said
Miss Barbara. A heap of little papers
slipped from her lap as she moved,
and he stopped to help her gather
them up. "It is nothing but the
children's exercises" she murmured.
ST have been sitting there-dreaming
you didn't know that 1 ever
dreamed, did you?-and forgot to
put them away?"
ward that Howard Marsh looked in
one day upon Trask, sitting in his
little den of an office, where the
papers were piled high up on every
chair Marsh was just returned from
his wedding journey in lands affair,
and was little pale, for he had
found the beautiful Eve was at times
hard to entertain.
,"Glad to see you," said Trask, with
q new light in his cold eyes, that
took all their GOODNESS away. "Just
back from your bridal tour? We
didn't take any-but we are very
happy just the same"
"You? You? Are you married."
asked Marsh incredulous1y.
"Yes-hadn't yoNl heard? 'Oread,'
you know-why, of course you know
her-Miss Barbara Scott = come
around to the house-you and Mrs.
Marsh-and renew old acquaintance.
By the way, it was that silly talk of
yours that put me in the notion to
find 'Oread' for myself-knew her
the minute I saw her. Much obliged
to you I'm sure"
But Howard Marsh had tumb1ed
the papers off chair and was sitting
there, laughing-a laugh that some
how was lacking in most of the ele-
ments of mirth.

Cooking Dried Fruits.

Success in cooking dried fruits de-
ponds largely upon little cooking and
long soaking. Cover the fruit with
cold water and let it stand a short
time to soften any dirt that may adj
here. Then wash the fruit, rubbing
it carefully between the hands, and
thoroughly rinse it, covering it with
plenty of cold water and letting it
soak for twenty-four hours. Then
drain it out and to the water add half
a pound of sugar for each pound of
dried fruit. When the sugar and
water have cooked clear put in the
fruit, taking care not to crowd it.

that name-Oread-isn' it? Well, 1

her. You may laugh fancy [ saw

He had told Miss Barbara the same
story several times since he came to the
Glen and secured board with Miss Bar
bara's mother Miss Barbara sighed q.
little, and was thinking more, doubt
less, of the next days work in the lit
tie brown schoolhouse over the hill
than of his quest for the Dread whom
he would be sure to know.
The next day he came back with
fishing rod and empty basket, butwith
alert step and jubilant eye.
81 have caught glimpse of the new
Miss Bledsoe," he said, ''the one who
has been away from home. Her name
is Eve, isn't it? I have seen Miss Sarah
often, and have halfway believed that
she might have written The Cross of
Fire'-she is cultivated girl, you
know, and the house is filled with
books. 1t really must be one or the
other of the Bledsoes-they are almost
the only ones-the other people have
seem here are quite incapable of it..
But Sarah is so-well, she is very
plain girl, you know-not what you
other one is beautiful have heard SO
from several, and / saw that she was
something-quite extraordinary, you
know"
Miss Barbara had looked up from the
little heap of exercises she was correct
ing for the next day and now she bent
over them again.
Eve is beautiful" she said, half-ab-
sently. 'It is a pleasure merely to sit
and look at her"
"Icould see that even in glimpse"
he said eagerly "Say, wouldn't it be
something wonderful if all that beauty
were combined with-with such talent?
brown hair with the gold'in it, and such
a face! / Seem to feel that my QUESTS
ended here, Miss Barbara. Somehow
have a kind of instinct that-that 1
need not go any further"
The only drawback to Mr.. Marsh's
happiness lay in the fact that he could
not well go to the beautiful Miss Bled-
soc and say: 81 know that you are the
4Oread' who wrote The Cross of Fire."
The shy woodland spirit who had so
carefully hidden herself away could
not have her secret uncovered to the
light of day in such manner as that
but no matter-he would know. He
would see her face to face very soon
perhaps to-morrow-and when he
looked into her eyes and heard her
speak he would know.
After hat Miss Barbara heard the
story from day to day. He always came
in as she worked over the exercises late
in the evening-there seemed to be
never an end to those exercises-or
sometimes 1T was later, and he found
her resting in the gallery under the
balsam vines.

FREE FROM SUPERSTITION.
She Had Too Much Sense to Believe
In Any of Those NOnsensicaI
Things.

''Superstitious!" she exclaimed,
scornfully, relates the New York
Times, mot a bit of it. / have too
much sense for that. Of course there
are some little things portending good
or bad luck that occasionally claim my
attention, but superstition is only
the failing of the weak. L
''Wait minute There's pin on
the sidewalk.
"There! Now l have it. Do you
know every time I have seen a pin
and failed to pick it up Reginald and
I have quarreled? Strange, isn't it.
1 wouldn't dare to pass one now.
''But we were speaking of supersti-
tions. I've heard it said that every
body is superstitious. to greater or
less extent, but / don't believe it. Do
you? Of course / knew you didn't.
But you do find superstition in the
strangest places. I once knew a girl
who actually believed in ghosts. Real
sensible girl ia other respects, too.
Funny, wasn't it? 1 used to tell her
that she would have to get over her
superstitions or she'd be the laugh
ing stock of everybody, but it didn't
seem to make any difference. l think
she must have been weak mentally.
Don't you?
''By the way, I saw the new moon
over my left shoulder last night. What
do you suppose will happen? I just
know that Reginald will bring me a
box of candy when he comes to call
tonight. The last time I saw the new
moon over my left shoulder was the
very night he proposed.
still, of course 1 shouldn't forget
that 1 spilled some salt to-day. May
be that will make difference. Any
way, I'll know what's the reason if
[ don't get the candy, and there's some
satisfaction in that. Do you know
when anything unusual happens I can
almost always figure right back to
what caused it?
"But I'm mighty glad I'm not super
stitious. like so many girls knew"

Will Keep "Walled CITY,"

The walls about the city of Manila
are not to be destroyed. The proposed
innovation met with such a storm of
protest that Secretary Root has given
orders to Governor Taft to let the walls
alone. Manila is now the only walled
city in the orient and many people in
America, as wellas the Philippines, pro-
tested against the destruction of the
old Notifications on the ground that
it would be an act of iconoclasm. No
part of the wall will be disturbed, al
though it is probable that as sanitary
measure the moat will be filled up.
