HOW IT WAS DONE.
Pat Helped His Comrnde in a Pinch
and Was None the Worse
OF for 1t.

An old soldier belonging to a we'll
known line regiment had gained the
unenviable reputation of being known
as a ''sting," or, in other words, one
who comfortably manages to live on
another's pay, relates London Spare
Moments.
Pay day having come and gone,
things looked rather blue for him
when the time for opening the can
teen arrived. But not for long; he
soon espied his bed chum not far
away, and, calling him over, he en-
gagged him in conversation, finally per-
suading Paddy-a recruit, by the way
to sell pair of pants, saying it was
foolish to have more kit about one than
necessary.
Accordingly Pat went to his room,
and, providing himself with a, new
pair of pants, returned and gave them
to the man, who forthwith proceeded
to dispose of them.
Needless to say, an enjoyable evening
followed, and on leaving the canteen
the "sting" remarked:
you're good boy, Pat, and I'll
stand you drink some day in return"
"Och, you need not bother" said
Pat. ''Sure, it's your own pants We
sould / TUX them from your box"

Greek Monks Belief.

It is, firm belief of the eastern
monks of the Greek church that God
will not allow a monastery to be
burned. When the Russian monas-
terry of St. Pantelemon, at Mount
Athos, was burned few. years ago,
the Greeks, who constitute the great
majority of the 5000 monks on the
peninsula, maintained that their Rus
sian brethren had brought the calam-
ity on themselves, because they had
fire engines and extinguishers, and
did not trust wholly in God. Now
the neighboring Greek monastery of
ST. Paul, which had no fire engines.
has recently been utterly destroyed
by fire. 1t is said that the monas-
terry of ST. Paul was the only one at
Mount Athos which has ever been
visited by woman. The wife of a
British ambassador landed from her
yacht one day on its tiny pier and
insisted on entering the church. In
consequence the monks, relieving
each other by relays, for 40 days and
nights maintained continuous serv-
ice of prayer to purify the church
from this communication.-N. Y.

You may be very sure she knows
all about it. If she ever sets up a

Griswold was beginning to doubt
the advisability of any further con-
fdences in the Grierson field, but his
evil genius urged him to defend
Margery.
isn't that little uncharitable? %
he ventured.
The tone was placable enough, as it
was meant to be, but Charlotte was
only a woman, and Griswold had
been very much in evidence with
Miss Grierson of late, on the high
swung trap and in the Grierson
steam-launch. So she said, rather
coldly: 81 may seem uncharitable to
you, and 1 am sorry I said it. But
we are wandering. You say you
know the remedy for your trouble
and Ned's. What is it?"
Now Griswold was not any drawer
than other men when it came to fac
ing a woman piqued, but since she
had taken him unawares, he must
needs lose his head and say: ct is

woman whom you don't like"

avowal with a toss of the superb
head.
"By all means make it," she adj
vised, icily. 'YoU owe it to-to-"
"To Ned?" he suggested. -.
Certainly not; to yourself"
And with that she turned away to
say good night to the others. That
was all, save that she did not give
her hand to Griswold at parting.

"That is nonsense, Martin, and you
know it. Whose money built the
plant?"
The man took time to think about
it. and. as slow men often do. he
thought it over to some purpose.
81 s'pose you could say that amt
for me to say. but I'm goin' to say
it. Mr.. Raymer got his money from
the old man, and we, and others like
us, helped him earn it. I dunno who
helped you earn your money, Mr..
Griswold. Maybe you earned it all
yourself, but 1 don't believe it."
At this Griswold flew into a pas
sion, there being no other retort for
such a thrust.
"You don't know what you're talk
ing about" he snapped. LET me
pass"
The man stood aside respectfully
enough, and the master crossed the
street to the iron works side of it.
An arc light swinging from it's wire
in front of the foundry building flung
black shadows beneath the trees at
the curb line, and for aught pass
er-by might see, street and plant
were alike deserted. But the quietude
was only seeming. AS Griswold

promptly into the thick of it, seeing
nothing but that a dozen Infatuated
men were assaulting one.
"For shame!"- he cried, shoulderin"
his way into the group. ''Stop it and
let him go, or I'll prosecute the last
one of you in the courts!'
The melee quieted down, but two
of the men kept fast hold of their
prisoner. Griswold looked again. and
when he recognized the captive, had
a curious little shock of surprise.

THE STEPHENSON OF THE AIR.


Where lives he?-that inventive one
For whom the world is waiting-where
The ethers future Stephenson,
The coming conQueror Of the air?
And has he found the secret yet,
The solvent thought, whate'er It be?
May the explorer not forget
That mystic Open Sesame!
And will he sail with mighty wing,
Or vast balloon. or whiriing fan?
Or will 1t be startling thing
On some unprecedented plan?
And when the deeds brought to pass
And men are taught the way 10 fly,
Must all our railroads go TO grass
And all our commerce seek the sky?
1dOnot know; but this know
Whatever bulk the thought attain,
1t must begin and slowly grow
From one wee notion in the brain;
Some quick ideas swiftly caught
And stoutly held with iron grip
While patience labors on the thought
And firmness will not let 1t slip.
For never on a gale Of luck
Shall his fine air-ship come to port;
Its keel is grit, its sails are pluck,
The hurricane It dares to court!
Its captain, whosoe'er he be,
Has counted cowardice a sin,
Has found the air a stormy sea,
Has learned to struggle and to win!

THE season of catching cold is upon
j us. The cough and the sneeze
and the nasal twang are to be
heard on every hand. The origin Of
chronic catarrh, the most common and
dreadful Of diseases, is cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches
cold, which hangs on longer than usual.
The cold generally starts in the head
and throat. Then follows sensitive
ness of the air passages which incline
one to catch cold very easily. At last
the person has cold all the while
seemingly, more or less discharge from
the nose, hawking, splitting, frequent
clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped
up, full feeling in the head, and sore,
inflamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used, never fails to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.

"How can you ask! Is it so light a
thing to help ever SO little to set
a snare for the poor fellow!"
Griswold's laugh was almost harsh.
81 shouldn't waste any sympathy on
| him if 1 were you. He is a hardened
criminal, by his own admission to
you"
"No, he was not that" she said,
quickly. 81 understood him better
than that-better than 1 have made
you understand him. He was not a
hardened criminal"
Griswold's blood, which had been
slowly turning to ice in his veins, be-
gan to thaw out again at that.
''Then you don't condemn him ut
terly? You are willing to admit that
his own conscience may have acquit-
ted him?''

at least. / am sure that his own
point of view was so obscured by
what he had suffered that he could
not rightly see the guilt of the thing

"But you saw the guilt of t?"
"How could I help seeing it?"
"True. There is no excuse for
him"
81 shouldn't say that. There may
be many excuses for him."
But no Justification" He tried
hard to make the saying of it an
impersonal abstraction, succeeding
so well that she did not remark the
note of despairing eagerness.
Certainly not. Nothing could JUS
tify such deed of lawlessness."
1t was as he had prefgured. Her
womanly pity had in it the quality
of mercy. 1t went out toward the
lawbreaker as the divine compassion
enfolds even the impenitent sinner.
But her conscience arraigned and
condemned him.
He bowed his head and went dumb
before the woman who had judged
him; but when he would have
changed the subject he found it
mightier than his will to break away
from it.
"Your verdict is doubtless that of
the world he said. "And from

A New Novel Attracting Attention.

Lionel Ardon," by Malcolm Dearborn, is
a new historical novel brought out by Dill
bingham & Co., in November last. It has
many points on which to commend it for
its superiority to the reading public There
is, at present, such a deluge of new novels
that when one can be picked out whose in
terest is so intense and whose characters
are so well drawn like all productions Of
true merit, it is soon placed in the first rank.
At the time of the publication of this vol.
ume we had the pleasure of favorably re-
viewing it, and we are pleased to note the
general appreciation of "Lionel Ardon" by
the American press. The following is from
the Boston Beacon:

story delicateiy conceived and very inter-
estingly told. The historical characters are

acter of Lady Jane Grey and she makes a
very attractive part of the story. Lionel
Ardon from boyhood to manhood plays
worthily the hero's part. The book is very
strikingly bound in dark blue and gilt with
a decorative touch by the outlines of the
rose and thistle in colors and two inverted
swords in white"

CHAPTER XIV.

In after time GriSwold could never
satisfactorily account for the i'm
pulse which sent him to wander aim
lessly through the deserted streets
of the town after leaving DR.. Farm
hams and parting from the other
dinner guests. -.
But this night the thought of Mrs.
Holcomb's and the quiet room was
curiously repugnant, and so he
roamed, like any vagrant, far and
wide, drifting at length to the rail-
way crossing and beyond, and com
ing to some sense of the actualities
only when he found himself in the
neighborhood of the iron works
At this he would have turned back.
Since the closing of the works the
plant had been guarded nightly;
first by the inner circle of deputies,
and later by an outer Gordon of the
striking workmen. This outer guard
had latterly been maintained in re-
liefs and made continuous. ostensibly
to show the good will of the strilx-
ers and their readiness to protect
the property; but really. as Girls
void knew, to forestall any move on
the part of himself and Raymer. to
supply the places of the men with
imported labor.
1t was chance collision with. this
outer guard that brought Griswold
alive to the actualities. Two men
stepped out of the shadow of tree
and halted him. But at the word
one of them recognized him.
G-sc
pardon, sir, but you see we have to
be sort O. careful"
Griswold's smile was openly cyni-
cal. "Your carefulness is a good
bit overdue, Martin. It should have
begun before you made this sense
less strike"
Now the man Martin was in some
sort leader among the discomfort
ed workmen. and he asked nothing
better than chance to argue the
point with one of the bosses.
"There's two sides to that, ME-.
Griswo1d, and you hain't seen but
one. You don't know what it means
to earn your bread from day to day
like we do"
"Don't II" said Griswold, smiling
again, this time without the Gym
icism. Perhaps I don't. and again,
perhaps I do. You're an older man
than am, Martin. but I'll venture to
say that I've gone lacking more
meals in a year than you have in
your whole lifetime"
The man was silenced for a mo-
ment, but presently found tongue
again.
"Then what makes you so tarna-
ton hard on us fellows?" he de-
manded. IF you've known what

the product of his labor, but to the
