He took a merry leave Of Arenta,
and went directly to his rooms. ''Tis

to love her!" he said softly to himself

away, and he flung open the easement
and sat in beatitude of blissful
hopes and imaginations.
And after midnight, when dreams
fall, the moon came up over Nassau
and Cedar streets and threw poetic
glamors over the antique churches, and
grassy graveyards, and the pretty
houses, covered with vines and
budding rosebushes; and this soft
shadow of light Gained and charmed
him.

BRAVERY, AND TRUE COURAGE.

Japanese Sure He Would Be Killed,
But Didn't Mind.
The little lieutenant who lived just
across the street from o. K. Davis, the
New York Suns war correspondent in
Tientsin, said to him one day:
II should be very happy to have you
visit me in my home in Japan after
this war is over, but expect to be
killed.
He was perfectly sincere and unaf-
fected. His belief did not alter his at
tention to duty in the slightest. He
went wherever he was ordered as gay
ly as if it were to feast, no matter
if the field was swept with bullets.
When I saw him in Picking a day or
so after the legations had been. re-
lieved he said simply: "Perhaps I
shall not be killed this time after ALL"
Would you call it courage when
such a man as that leads little COL
umn against stone wall, and when
he can't get over at first, sits down
and waits until he can? He hasn't
any conception of courage. He is
brave, but with the bravery of bull

r. H. Plant, Macon (Ga.) banker
who wrecked his health and his bust
ness by overwork, finally settled mat
ters with his numerous creditors by
committing suicide, the insurance on
his life aggregating $1,o15,ooo. A dis
patch says that the bitter feeling
against him on the part of the pub
lie has subsidized since his death, but
it is safe to say that the insurance
companies do not share in this SYM
pathetic forgiveness. .

take such great risks on q single life

Softly she slept in the night-her new
born babe at her breast,
With a tiny dimpling hand to the yield
ing bosom pressed
AS I rose from her side to go-though
sore was my heart to stay
To the case of the laboring ewes that
else would have died ere day.
Banking the peats on the hearth, I
reached from the rafter-hook
The lanthorn and kindled the flame, and,
taking my plaid and crook,
I lifted the latch. and turned once more
to see if she slept;
And looked on the slumber of peace;
then into the night I stepped
Into the swirling dark of the driving,
binding sleet.
And a world that seemed to sway and
slip from under my feet,
AS if rocked by the wind that swept the
roaring starless night;
Yet fumed in a fury vain at my Ian
thorn's shielded light.
Clean-drenched in the first wild gust, I
battled across the garth,
And passed through the clashing gate
the light of the glowing hearth
And the peace of love in my breast the
craven voices to quell-
AS I set my teeth to the wind and turn
ed to the open fell.
Over the tussocks of bent I strove till
reached the fold,
numbed that they scarce could hold
My staff or loosen the pen; but l heard
a lambs weak cries
AS the CLEAN of my lanthorn lit the
night of its newborn eyes.

The Hand Of Death

Sorely I labored, and watched each
young lamb struggle for breath,
Fighting till dawn for my flock with the
ancient shepherd-Death;
And glad was my heart when at last
the stackyard again I crossed.
And thought of the strife we'll DER with
never a yeanling lost
But ere came to the door Of my home,
drawing YEARLY nigh,
heard with boding heart feeble,
querulOus cry,
1 stood in the dawn's gray light,
Afraid of I knew not what sore spent
with the toll of the night.
Then. setting a quaking hand to the
latch, I opened the door;
And, shaking the cold from my heart, /
stumbled across the floor
Unto the bed where she lay, calm-bos-
omed. in dreamless rest;
And the wailing baby clutched in vain
at the lifeless breast.
sank with a cry by the bed,
And thought how the hand of Death
had stricken my whole joy dead.
My flock, my world and my heart-with
my love, at a single blow;
And I cried: II, too. will die!' and IT
And that Death drew very near, when ]
felt the touch on my cheek
OF little warm hand outthrust, and !
heard that wailing weak,
And, knowing that not for me yet was

looked in the eyes of life.

Does the devil enjoy seeing us
make mistakes? Systematic fore
thought is an enemy of mistakes.
Amos r. Wells. tells the following in
the Young Peoples Weekly: 4
There was sold not long ago in New
York city" what is; probably the most
expensive land ever sold anywhere:
certainly the most expensive ever sold
in New York. ,~s.* :. i.
It was a tiny strip of land, and, in
its widest part, it measured only
seVen-eighths of an inch. It was forty
feet long: 1t contained, in all, only
seventeen and a half square inches.
1t couldn't be seen on the map except
with microscope.
Yet it was undoubtedly there. 1t
lay alongside an expensive plot of
ground that was to be used for
dwelling. BY some error in calcula-
ton it had not been included in the
purchase, and it had to be bought.
why must it be bought?' you ask.
'No one could do anything with so
small a piece OF land"
Indeed, you are wrong. An evil
minded man could do apuch mischief
with it. That seventeen and a half
square inches, you must remember
reaches up into the air as high as the
sky. He could raise on it an iron plate
that would cut off air and light and
view from the forty feet on both sides
of it, and utterly ruin the finest
houses that might be built there
Just such abominable things have been
done So the land had to be bought.
Fifty dollars was the price decided
upon as fair, and it was promptly paid.
That was at the rate of $286 a square
inch. At this rate the average city

map (1560) it is lettered "The way

Haymarket and the fields adjoining
to the north and vest were the "Pick.

Two years ago little, triangular bit
OF land was sold in New York for 5000,
which was at the rate of $500 square
foot, of $3.47 a square inch. This, how
eyer, was not really as expensive land
as the piece have been describing,
because it was larger-a man could
stand upon it-and it was in a busi-
ness section, and so was actually more
valuable.
My purpose in relating these real
estate transactions is to warn who
ever may be reading this against leav-,
ing any strip of territory in the city
OF his soul to be occupied by the Evil
One.
"This fault is so very slight. This
sin is such little one. It really is
microscopic. 1t isn't worth bothering
about"
Listen!
There isn't in all New York city
business man half as shrewd as your
adversary, the devil. Let sin have
any territory in the city of your soul,
though it be strip less than an inch
wide, and he will build on it a struc-
ture that will shut out your pure air
and your CHEEKY sunshine and your
view of heaven.
Buy him out! Buy him out!
1t may take all you can raise Of
resolution and strength and courage
and persistence. But remember, you
can draw on the bank of heaven.
There are endless resources up above.
At any rate-a million for square
inch, if necessary-buy him out! You
must own all the land in the city of
your soul.
