Be so much nearer truth:

GRATITUDE
Versus
JEALOUSY
BY Robert Jermain Cole
Copyright, 1905, by Eugene PARCELS

Julia Forman watched her two
friends run down the beach together
and plunge, with a shout Of laughter,
into the big wave that rolled up to
meet them. 1t made pleasant sight
for the crowd on the sands, but Julia
was not in mood to be an impartial
spectator. She had come down for
three days, she could not swim, and
she thought the time was too short in
which to try to learn.
Allan Wright and Bess Hart were
water comrades Of many summers.
Julia would not spoil their sport. She
had known Allan Wright only in town
and here she felt almost like an in
truder. They had urged her to join
them, but she fancied it was from po-
likeness.
Seating herself on the sand, Julia
began to dig furrow with the heel Of
her small shoe. Then she looked out

Grave Robbers.

DR.. William Williams Keen in a book
on the subject tells some interesting
things about the men who used to rob
graves and sell the bodies to medical
schools. Dickens Jerry Cruncher in
"a Tale of Two Cities was a "resur-
rectionist" by night. In 1928 DR.. Keen
says there were more than 100 regular
professional grave robbers in London,
besides occasional volunteers. They
did large business in a perfectly or
ganized manner. Sometimes" re.
marks DR.. Keen, 'they picked up cases
Of apoplexy in the street, carried them
as relatives to the hospital and as rela-
tiveS claimed and removed them after
death to sell to anatomists." The resur-
rectionists presently began to create
subjects for dissection-in other words,
to murder people. William Burke,
who gave his name to the crime Of
burking, or throttling, murdered six
teen persons before ne was caught.
His trial, Of ''unexampled length" said
the judge in charging the jury, lasted
twenty-four hours. 1t was the very
atrocity of Burke and his fellows that
brought about such change Of laws that
medical colleges no longer have to deal
with resurrectionists and starved the
professional grave robbers out Of bust
ness.

A Careful CObbIer.

An amusing case Of experience
through ones appearance Is related by
lady who went into cobbler's shop
in town in Scotland and left a pair of
rough and ready shoes to be mended.
She was plainly dressed as traveller
and evidently made no particular i'm
preston on the mind Of the shoe mend
er. In few days, on returning from
some festal occasion, the lady stopped
her carriage at the cobbler's door and
went herself into the shop to get her
shoes. But the man told her he had no
shoes belonging to her, and when she
pointed them out he fatty refused to
let her have them, insisting that they
did not belong to her. She left, deter
mined to get the aid Of the police if
necessary to obtain her property, but
the next day she concluded to try
again. This time she was more sue.
ceSsful, but as the man handed her
shoes to her he told her that strange
woman in a carriage had tried to get
them away from him.

The Armenian and Catholic Church.
1t was not till the year 560-that is,
nearly 300 years after the death Of
Gregory the Illuminator-that the Ar
menian church became national in the
full meaning Of that term. Then 1t
adopted the monophysite doctrine that
in Christ there was but one nature, a
heresy which has never been accepted
by any Of the western Protestant
churches, by which the Armenian
Gregorian or national church must
logically be considered heretical. 1t is
possibly owing to this doctrine that the
Armenians use pure wine, without the
addition Of any water, in the mass.
Beyond this doctrine and the non
recognition of the papal supremacy the
Armenian church and the Latin differ
so slightly that when an Armenian
Gregorian or schismatic passes over to
Rome he finds in the united branch Of
this church no change whatever in
liturgy or ritual. defy any casual OBJ
server to tell the difference which
exists between the two churches In
matter of ceremonial and general ar
ngement.-London Graphic.

cried joyously.

SHE POINTED OUT TOWARD THE MAN AND
THE GIRL.
on the water, where she could see the
heads of her two friends, swimming
side by side. She turned her parasol
around so as to shut off the ocean.
Julia recalled the two last times she
had seen Allan. During those talks a
slight acquaintance had quickly de
veloped into close sympathy. They
had felt together that delicious sur
another has entered the same hidden
door Of thought or fancy whose key
only they two in all the world possess.
They had just begun to talk of things
that opened up long, winding ways
through the forest Of dreams, when
Julia's mother had taken her off to the
mountains. While they were gone AL
lans family went to the shore for the
summer and he went with them.
Whether Bess Harris lively ways had
won him or not Julia was unable to
decide Certainly they were very good
friends.
Julia raised her parasol and looked
out again toward the swimmers They
were coming back now Suddenly she
saw the girls arm go up in the air and
then her head sank out of sight. An
instant later the man, too, had disap-
reared beneath the surface. Julia's
heart seemed to stop beating. She
could not cry out or raise herself
from the sand. Then the mans head
rose into view, and beside him he had
the girl.
Julia struggled to her feet and ran
toward the water. A broken wave
rolled up and wet her ankles, but she
did not heed it. She called to the bath
ing master again and again. AT last
he turned, and she pointed out toward
the man and the girl Allan was hold
ing his own, but Bess appeared to be
unconscious, and he had to support
her as dead weight.
1t was not long before the bathing
master had gained his side, and the
two were able to reach shallow water
with their burden. Then, raising the
girls limp slenderness in his arms,
Allan carried her ashore and laid her
gently on tie beach. Julia knelt by
her friend and put her ear to the wet
garment over her heart. Then she
looked UP quickly to Allan.
''She is alive, thank God! Carry her
to my room, quicky' The young man
obeyed her, Julia leading the way.
By noon Of the next day Bess Hart
was strong enough to be assisted to
her own cottage. Allan came around
to inquire how she felt, and the girl
thanked him with unrestrained SINGER
ity. Julia cOntrived to leave them
alone soon after the man appeared.
She did not return, but walked out to
the beach as far away as she could
wander from the crowd. Again she
sat down and pressed her heel into
the sand. She heard a step behind
her, but did not turn. Then Allan's
voice asked:
Ibid you think three days so long
a time to spend with your friends,
Miss Forman, that you must run away
and steal an hour of that from us?'
Julia could not trust herself to an
swer. The young man waited mo.
ment before he tried again.
"Have you forgotten the last talk
we had in the cityY' he asked.
"No, l have not forgotten" said
Julia in low tone.
"When heard you were coming l
thought we could go on where we left
off," persisted the voice over her shout
