This collection of merchandise is to

vows and their regulations, to give up
kindred, associates and home and
wreck the structure they had been
building since childhood and flee to
an unknown country, there to begin a
new life in which their mutual love
would be ample compensation for all
they left.
Brave in their resolution, but guilty
in the consciousness of the great
wrong they were doing their loyal con-
sorts, the two slipped into close
carriage on the evening of the 10th
of June, 1899, and were driven rapidly
to the depot, where they boarded .
train bound for New York, there to
sail for European shores, where they
had planned to begin their new life.
In the meantime both John Bedwell
and Gracia Cole had felt the widen
although neither had the slightest sus-
picion of the state of affairs between
Clarence Cole and Alice Bedwell. Be-
ing thrown together much, Gracia be-
gan to take new delight in the So
ciety of the sturdy John Bedwell. She
could understand his mental attitude.
his plain, everyday talk, his natural
human methods, whereas Clarence's
high-strung, artistic impulses and
localities oppressed and bewildered
her. And John, disappointed and puz-
zled at his failure to understand Alice
and weld his life with hers. and resent
ing the attitude of inferiority she
placed him in, looked with new eyes
upon Gracia and realized her surpass-
ing beauty. And as he talked moro
and more to her and found that she
understood SO thoroughly his thoughts
and aspirations, his heart warmed
toward her. Finally he awakened with
a start to the realization that he loved
her and that his love for Alice was
dead And presently she found her
own heart had gone out to John. So
when the fires of the new love had at
tanned fever heat both were more ready
to obey their impulses than the others,
for they had not the condescending
pity-rather sting of injured pride.
John methodically wound up his busi-
ness affairs and looked up a new loca-
ton where he could reestablish him.
self safely, and 1t came to pass that on
the evening of June Is, 1899, he en-
tered a close carriage with Gracia and
they were driven rapidly to the depot.
where they boarded train bound for
San Francisco, there to take steamer
for Australia.
The two trains stood on the same
track, the engines heading in opposite
directions Both left at exactly II
o'clock Shortly before that hour the
two couples, who had left the same de-
pot on their wedding journeys only
two short years before. and who were
now fleeing from each other, passed
through the gate but moment or two
apart, boarded the separate trains and
were whirled away in opposite direc-
tions as fast as the steam monsters
could carry them.
The strange part of the affair is that
neither couple ever knew that the
other had eloped, and the friends of
both had no suspicion of anything
wrong, but wondered deeply at the
sudden and mysterious departure OF
the four.

The Sailors Psalm.

How many people-landsmen, at all
events-are aware that one Of the psalms
is often called the sailors psalm? Those
who we're at the opening of the east Lon
don Jacks Palace" by the prince Of
Wales will know it, for the name was
used there. 1t is, of course, Psalm 107,
wherein occur the beautiful and familiar
words, "They that go down to the sea in
ships, that do business in great waters
these see the works of the Lord and His
wonders in the deep" The psalm is
usually read as part of the simple serv-
ices which take place on Sunday on ships
at sea- For that reason it is known az
the sailors psalm.

BIG PRICES 10 HORsESHOERs.
Expert BIacksmiths Who Work for
Racing Stables Receive Large
Salaries.

Robert Bonner was the man who
started fancy prices for horseshoeing
when he paid 500 for shoeing Dexter.
Owners of big stables to-day pay far
more than that for shoeing horse, but
they don't pay it to a man keeping a
blacksmith shop. and doing public busi-
ness, as Mr.. Bonner did. The money
goes in the way of salaries and pres
ents to expert blacksmiths who work
only for owners of big stables, and who
travel with crack racing horses wher-
ever they go. Some of these black
smiths get $4,000 year and expenses,
besides q liberal present, if the owner
has had lucky year. says the New
York Times.
The blacksmith of crack stable is
constantly asked for cast-off shoes from
crack horses by persons who want to
gild them and frame them, 'just for
luck"
When 1t comes down to the useful
truck horse, there is a very different
story. The price for shoeing him is
fixed by the Blacksmiths' union at two
dollars. That is for an average horse.
with shoe weighing about two pounds.
But some Of the big truck horses around
the docks require shoes weighing from
three to four pounds. At the present
price of iron blacksmiths cannot af-
ford to shoe horses like that for less
than $3.50 or So. When drivers re-
fuse to pay the sum, the black
smith finds that he is very busy.
Sometimes the driver will wait half
day, and then not get served at the union
price. If he moves along to another
shop, he finds they are prepared for
him. Many blacksmiths' shops have
telephones nowadays, or there is pay
station near by where the smith can
send word along the line. Blacksmiths
accommodate one another in this way.
II the driver complains to the union
about the only comfort he gets is a
promise to investigate.
1t is not generally known that black.
smiths shops in New York are open
Sunday mornings from eight to ten
o'clock. This Is for the benefit of horses
that cast shoes on Saturday night, or
men who cannot spare their horses dur
ing the week to get Few shoes or have
old ones frightened up. On the East and
West side Of the city, below Forty-sec-
ond street to Cherry Hill. blacksmiths'
shops are as busy as BARRIERS shops early
Sunday mornings.
The blacksmiths and truck drivers
have a common grievance, which they
are trying to have their district leaders
lug into the municipal campaign, If pos
sible. Often horse casts shoe in the
street. II he is kept working he is
likely to 60 lame and have lockjaw. It
is the drivers duty to know the nearest
blacksmith's shop, and go there at
once II the driver hasn't the money
to shoe the horse. the blacksmith is
willing to take the number of his truck
and send the bill to the firm. But it
is necessary, always, in such cases, for
the driver to leave his wagon, with his
other horse, in the street. Then, in
nine cases out Of ten, police officer
comes along. and, under the street ordi-
nances, takes his wagon away. Black
smiths and drivers are making COM
mon cause to get this ordinance re-
pealed.

THE CHIPMUNK AT HOME.
Spends Most of the Autumn in Storing
Away Food for the
Winter.

The little chipmunk, which we see
scampering along the stone walls
everywhere, is one of the very pretti-
est of our four-footed animals BY
reason of bis beautiful markings of
black, buff and chestnut he is some
times called the painted squirrel, and
because he seldom leaves the ground
for the trees he is also known as the
ground-squirrel, says Woman's Home
Companion. He is one Of the most
provident of animals, spending most Of
the autumn in storing away food to
last him through the winter. First of
all, though, he digs long, winding
tunnel in the earth, with several short
branches, which he uses as storerooms
Into these he carries nuts Of all kinds.
wheat, buckwheat, grass-seed and any
other available fod which will keep.
He carries these things, few at a
time, in two pouches-one in each
cheek-and when you see him home
ward bound on an autumn morning,
you will notice that his face looks very
much swollen. Watch him a little
while and you will see him enter his
burrow by a small round hole. close to
an old stump. perhaps. In few mo-
ments he will have stored his load of
provisions, and will appear at the door
way with the swelling all gone from
his face.
When the weather becomes cold In
November, the chipmunk retires to his
well-stocked burrow and sleeps away
large part of the winter. waking up
at intervals to stretch mis- limbs and to
sample the good things he spent SC
much time in gathering. When the
warm days toward the close OF Feb

For the man who wins. there is pomp and

And they plunge their shade on the hum

For they bring no stress and they bring no

And he knows defeat ere his fight Is fought.
There are singers mute-and their hearts
are wrung.
And their souls are thrilled with the songs
unsung;
There are men who dreamed Of picture

But the hand is still and the canvas bare;
And the others, too, with the goals un-
