She looked at him oddly for a mo-
ment. Then she laid her hand upon his
arm and said half kindly, half mock
ingly:
What You want IS a housekeeper.

not remember" And Wentworth, feel
Ing more discounted than he cared to
admit to himself, did his best to obey
her.
After this life flowed smoothly on for
another six months, the ripples closing
over the night when Wentworth was
rejected and leaving no sign.
II seemed sometimes as II his latch
key admitted him to another world
where all was order, simple beauty
and good win, where every hour made
him stronger and better. Little by lit
tie he had become a part of the small
family. often making third in their
coy drawing room-sometimes talking.
sometimes reading and again scoldlng
or advising Ethel with the freedom of
big brother.
Ills appreciation OF the delightful
nominees and ease led him into his
second blunder. II was a clustering
night In November. On her couch
Mrs. Manice, who had been less well
than usual, lay sleeping, while Ethel,
who had been playing Schubert with
dreamy Inconsistencies, wandered off
into some inprovisations of her own.
Presently Wentworth laid down the
book that lie was reading with an al
most sufrocating sense of the dearness
OF II all. Then suddenly Ethel stopped
playing and rose from the piano. The
action seemed significant. Wentworth
was Jared by the thought that just as
abruptly might the slender thread by
which he held this utterly delightful
home be snapped Mrs. Manice might
grow worse; Ethel might
He gave sharp sigh. He would not
suffer the thought. and again from the
fullness of his heart he spoke.
Ethel" he pleaded, 'is 1t so impos-
sible? l can't tell you what all this is
to ME. How could ever get along
without you?"
But again he was STONED by that
odd. impenetrable glance. Again with
smile. half kind, half mocking. she
looked up at him and answered ..You
want companion, not a wife" Again
they gravcly agreed not TO remember.

now thc french Actor Got Into the
Sub Rosa Club.
One Of the most famous Of the Quar-
tier Latin clubs in Paris is the one
which is called the Sub Rosa.
The elder Coquelin, the great actor,
was present one night at the clubs
weekly feast and applied for member
ship. Now, the only rules of the Sub
Rosa men are: Think much. Write
little. BE as silent as you can" The
presiding officer, with this last rule in
mind, answered the applicant by plac-
Ing before him n tumbler filed so full
of water that another drop would have
caused It TO run over Coquelin under
stood. The club membership was OBJ
vlously full.
Over the table was suspended a rose,
the club emblem. While the glass
still stood before him Coquelin lroke
a petal from the flower and laid It so
gently on the water that not single
drop escaped. A silent man could Join
and make no trouble.
Around the table ran ripple of
smiles and little hand claps and mods of
approval, and then, as II OF one accord,
all began making bread balls. Then a
cup was passed from hand to hand and
each deposited his ballot in it, and
all We're found to be round Not one
had been pressed fiat in sign Of disap-
proyal. SO Coquelin Joined the Sub
Rosa club.-Warwick James Price in

His Flint Convert.

Rev. J. ]. Brokenshire, in telling
how to win boys, recently told Of his
first convert. He said:
II was preaching My first sermon and
had q hard time. 1t was a country
town and I was being entertained at
the parsonage. After the evening SER
vice the little boy of the home was
appointed to conduct me to my room.
We stopped at the hall window on
top Of the stairs, just to look out for
q moment into the moonlight.
Tommy I said, have you ever
really accepted Christ as your Saw
Jour? Some earnest words followed,
and then we kneeled beside the little
hall table. and my young companion
gave himself to God.
1T was the first seal upon my minis
try. A month later a revival broke
out in the town and over q hundred
orofessed Christ. The minister wrote
me a letter full of joy and gratitude.
The revival was in q great measure the
result of Tommy's conversion

LIQUOR Dealer Paid rIrsV.

A licensed liquor dealer was speak
ing Of his custom of trusting mechan-
les and laboring men, allowing them to
settle on their weekly pay day.
Don't you lose a great deal?" asked
the gentleman with whom he was
speaking.
VERY rarely" was the reply. IF
they don't have money enough to pay
all their bills, they always pay me, for
my place is near where they work, and
they come in here first, after they get
their pay"

liquor dealer take the cream of the Ia

A Homemade Antique.

A woman whose desire for beautiful
things quite outstrips her p%ocketbook
created from an old square piano case
a magnificent library table. The works
of the instrument Lad become abso-
lutely worthless, so they were taken
out. When the piano was closed it was
q tight box of rosewood. The front
piece was taken off, and a pine drawer
was fitted in with the front piece for
the front Of the drawer. Two cid
fashioned glass knobs were screwed
into the drawers for handles. The legs
were beautifully carved, but were of
course too long, so they were sawed of
to make the top come to a convenient
height for q table. The whole thing
was polished highly, and the result
was a table that could not be bought
for S10Q.

The increase of insanity in England

There has been an average annual i'll
crease of 2513 insane persons during
the past ten years, and since 1859 the
number of lunatics has trebled. AL

cause.
A new precedent has been established
in Indian Territory by the stopping of
an eastbound passenger train by Dep

of one scant ounce Of linseed oil, a full

niture and allow it to stand for several
minutes, then polish well with a soft,
dry cloth. In using any polish, there
must be thorough, hard rubbing, in or

The Parable Of the Corn.

There Is life in the dry grain Of corn
as certainly as in the growing stalk.
But in the former we see no life, not
even the evidence Of it. We may put
it under the microscope, but we dis.
cover no life. We may shave it down,
fake by fake, but We cannot see it
o tell where it has gone. But the
life is there Notwithstanding fail
ure. Only by adversely can it be made
to reveal itself; and it's highest mani.
hesitation a come only through death
and dissolution. Heat and moisture
will call forth the latent life, but not
until that yellow tabernacle Is placed
in the earth does the matured POSSIBLE
ity of the seed manifest iself.
Have we not here a parable? Man
has q soul, but who has seen it, or felt
it, or touched it? Can we, by any
known process, lay that soul bare that
we may look upon it with u mortal
eyes? Will our most powerful micro
scopes magnify it? Will u X-ray dis.
close it? You may take this body
down, part by part. You may dissever
every member from its fellow. You
may ncove every lgament and nerve
and artery. Cah4the scalpel uncover
the soul? Has the operator ever seer
it as he laid open the body? Has the
young physician in the dissecting
rooms ever found it? But the soul is
in the body as truly as life is in the
grain Of corn. Both are invisible by
any known device Of man.
We may see the evidence of growth
in the soul as we may see it in the seed.
In both cases the life is revealed
mainly by sacrifice and surrender. In
both the fullest glory comes after
death, and neither the seed on the n
hand nor the body on the other ever
beholds the highest development Of its
own inherent life. That lies beyond
the dissolution. And will not our post
norton life be as much greater and
grander than this life as the maturing
stalk with its green leaves, its pink
.plumes on the end Of the ripening
ears, and its bending t~assels, is greater
and grander than the little yellow cres-
cent of corn which was dropped into
the earth?
