He pushed all the other papers to-

burnt letter before him. with an elbow
planted on each side, and his head
supported between his hands, he bent
himself to the task OF deciphering
what still remained.

in this way, he made a gesture OF
despair

one morning Mr.. John Sharp was
seated In his private room, expecting
a visitor. or. as Mr.. Sharp would have
expressed II himself. a client. While
waiting for the latter to put in an
appearance. he whiled away the time
with the morning paper.
At the particular moment to which
we refer, his attention was engaged
by something in the top right hand
corner of the outside sheet, which
seemed to afford him a considerable
amount of satisfaction.

Maine coast last summer went to the
Universalst church in the place the
first Sunday morning of her stay, and
was politely shown to seat. There
was no hymn book. however. but the
occupant of the pew behind her
reached over and placed one in her
hands. AT the close of the service the
visitor turned and thanked the person,

church all summer she would like to

Th ank God for the
elderly men who are
able to whistle and run.

An old man whistling always makes
me more hopeful.
And when an old man can win a
foot race there is natural rejoicing
among the spectators.
A few minutes ago I saw a man OF
elderly appearance come into a sta
ton in hurry but when he found
the trains delayed he went out of the
station in a greater rush and ran to
another car line.
The way he ran caught my eye. He
made race track time and you would
have thought him made of rubber he
went 80 easily. He had the graceful
ness CT youth in his muscles.
He had bundle of long strips of
wood. A belt was around his over
coat at the waist. His cap was over
his ears and he was business"

morning.
Occasionally l do hear elderly men
whistling and more might whistle IL
they would stop their worrying and
believe in better methods.
An elderly man, though I suppose
he would not want me to call him
elderly, won a foot race at a picnic
and seemed none the worse for It.
You would not think him able to run
rod to look at him but he has been
athletic all his life.
This is being written in a street
car which is cold enough to make ice
cream but want to add few words
to tell you what man told me this
week.
He lives over mile from his rail.
road station and he makes the trip
on foot six days a week. When he
first moved to his present home he
formed the habit of running from the
station to the house each evening.
Then he uniformed the habit by neg
lect, but now he is reforming the
habit. 1t is taking time for him to
do It, He is older and he has to run
part of the way daily but he is
gaining each day.

watch results. 1t is like some medi-
cines in that 1t does not agree with
everybody equally as we'll.

was decipherable was his fathers
name-"Silas."
Below this might be read, with
some difficulty. the following inco-

after all, there was good deal of
guess work:

Beneath this last sentence he could
make out what he took to be the
letter j. which apparently stood for
the initial letter of the Christian
name. but the rest of the signature
was burned and obliterated.
At this moment something again re.
called to him the mysterious words
which he had heard the night before
the funeral, and he looked round for
possible Interpretation of them.
His eye roamed from one object to
another, and his tongue repeated the
words-"The spring at the back of
the recess!" What recess? Where?
He rose from his chair and took a
sharp turn round the room. The
recessl What was meant by the re-
cess?

dressing some one present. Show
me what you mean" He drew up his
chair and resumed his seat; but there
was that in his behavior which sug-
gested one under the control OF some
mesmeric influence, or who walked in
his sleep.
Immediately in front of him. his
eye rested upon small door To
his surprise, he now observed for the
first time that the key was In the
lock. He turned it and saw papers
within, tied up in bundles and en-
dorsed. Some were quite yellow with
age. and some were more modern.

he had quite cleared the space. II

At last. something seemed to catch
his nail-something which projected
ever so slightly.
He pressed 1.-THE spring at the
back of the recess-firmly. There
was little jarring sound, and the
