Very likely the hapless Mussulman

Well, he, jerks, might have some
thing to say in that regard BY mid
night the moon would illumine nearly
the whole Of Prospect Park. If the
Mahommedan were slain in front Of
the cavern his soul would travel to
the next world attended by a Nizam's
cohort of slaughtered slaves.
Even If the man succeeded in e1ud-

outcome Of the struggle? How long
could Iris withstand the exposure, the
strain, the Misunderstanding misery Of
the rock? The future was blurred,
crowded with ugly and affrighting
fends passing In fantastic array before
his vision, and mounting dumb threats
Of madness and death.
He shook restlessly, not aware that
the girls sorrowful glance, luminous
with love and pain, was fixed upon
him. Summarily dismissing these
grisly pfantoms of the mind, he asked
himself what the Mahommedan ex-
actly meant by warning him against
the trees on the right and the Silent
death" that might come from them.
He was about to crawl forth to the
lip of the rock and investigate matters
in that locality when Iris, who also
was busy with her Thoughts, re-
strained him.

Many wise writer's sheer at the

that those of Baltimore burned like

the fire. That anything could remain
standing in such a fire is, indeed, a

enough that steel and tile and brick,

To realize the magnitude of the pro-

instance, a blast furnace large enough

to be built to contain 100000, 900

Her very candor had betrayed her.
She would go away with these mon
strous captors, endure them, even flat
ter them, until she and they were far
removed from the island. And then
she would kill herself. In her limo
cence she imagined that self destruc-
pardonable offense. She only gave
a life to save q life, and greater love
than this is not known to God or
man.
The sailor in a tempest Of wrath and
wild emotion, had it in his mind to
compel her into reason, to shake her,
as one shakes hayward child.
He rose to his knees with this half
formed notion in his fevered brain.
Then he looked at her, and a mist
seemed to shut her out from his sight.
Was she lost to him already? Was
all that had gone before an idle dream
Of joy and grief, a wizards glimpse
Of mirrored happiness and vague per-
lis? Was Iris, the crystal-souled-
thrown to him by the storm-lashed
waves-to be snatched away by some
irresistible and malign influence?
In the mere physical effort to assure
himself that she was still near to him
he gathered her up in his strong
hands. Yes, she was there, breathing,
wondering, palpitating. He folded her
closely to his breast, and. yielding to
the passionate longings of his tired
heart, whispered to her

When a war vessel blows up in the
harbor, especially in the vicinity of
Port Arthur. it is safe to believe that
a torpedo has done the mischief. But
when home breaks up In a oom-
munity the neighbors are left to guess
was to blame.
There Ia one such vice that seldom
comes to light even In the most public
trials for divorce. In fact, the pr1n-
cipals In the tragedy may not them
selves be able to trace the final disas-
student Of human life has, over and
over again, seen the most sacred ties
broken by the curse Of the impure
story
Is One of the first misdemeanors COM
mitted by the average man In his mar
ried life is that of telling his young
bride some unseemly joke that he has
heard from the companions of his
bachelor days. There may be women
i who are used to this disagreeable
form Of wit and have natural relish
for 1t, but they are few and far be-
tween. and it is only her tim1dity and
the natural fear Of offending her hus-
band that prevents the average Amer1
can girl from showing, the disgust she
feels at hearing this first exhibition
of coarseness from the man she has
just promised to "love, cherish and
obey"
It would be heroic and worthy act
on the part Of every young bride to
nip that habit in the bud with fine
flash Of anger and to forbid her hus-
band telling her any story after her
marriage that he would not tell her
before. For if she listens once she is
lost. Nothing 1s more natural and in
evitable than for a man to judge q
woman by himself. If his own heart
4lo
ments are only dormant, If not really
active, in his wife's. If, therefore, she
laughs "out of consideration" he
thinks she does it out Of appreciation,
and tells her another and another I'M
til she has lost the right to protest.
Has any one ever measured the cor
rupting power of impure stories
are told. They pollute the very at
mosphere Of students rooms and bust
ness mems offices. No man who &C
tually rolls a filthy joke like sweet
morsel under his tongue can be a
Christian gentleman. This hideous
vice is nothing better than the turkey
buzzard's love for carrion.
But if the influence of this accursed
style of wit is so destructive Of genu-
inc manhood, what must be it's inf1u-
ence upon womanhood and homes
For at last, women become infected
with the virus! No one is absolutely
immune. The constant hearing of
these stories at first blunts sensibili-
ties and afterWard creates a relish,
for women can be taught to love the
morbid and the horrible, in spite of
their sex. Gradually the finer fibers
of their moral natures are broken
down, and they begin to tell the
stories to which they formerly only
listened. BY and by the blush OF
modesty is gone, and they tolerate
and even enjoy the innuendoes of a
low class of men in mixed society
But it is a single step from the toler-
alton Of a vile suggestion in public tc
one in private! The woman who per-

The girl choked back her emotion,
and sadly essayed the task Of provid-
ing meal which was hateful to her.
In doing so she saw her Bible, lying
where she had placed it that morning,
the leaves still open at the Dist Psalm
She had indeed forgotten the promise

they were helpful tears, tears of re-

She even smiled on detecting an in

if he makes another when she is
alone. Everywhere and at all times
low tone Of conversation breeds a
low tone Of morals. and most people
dare do the things they talk
about!
The curse of the impure story lies
in the holding UP Of sacred things to
ridicule, for ridicule is the deadliest
foe of holiness. When the Romans
began to laugh at heir sacred chick
ems the imperial city fell. When chill
dren are permitted to make fun Of the
church and the Bible, religion is
doomed. When the sexes begin to

virtue are numbered. The home is
built upon the cornerstone Of virtue!
And can you wonder that loose Ideas
about the latter destroy the former?
Many a man who cultivated his wife's
taste for an impure story has only
himself to thank when, at last he dis

I firmly believe that every wife
ought to take strong stand about
this matter. She ought to refuse to

Let her even, refuse to listen, for moth

story under any circumstances De-

person who tells it experiences re-

things to laugh at? Every phase Of
our life has it's comic aspect, and we
ought to train ourselves to perceive

only when it is pure. There is almost
as much Of heaven in a hearty laugh

a quarter OF an inch thick, and is cut
10 measure. 1t is placed over a cOlored
cover OF satin or silk. and is wonderfully
attractive. 4 damp cloth keeps IL per-
fectly free from dust. and il does not
wear out, SO while Ii is expensive at
first. il OuJlasts a hundred lace and en-

the fashionable toilet sets are not made
of silver. When this metal is used tiny
lace dOiiies are placed under the heaV-

mirrors being of glass, are not Injurious.
The candles are OF crystal or F!Orentine

some of the expensive dressing tables
