leaving the mother to carry on the
struggle for a family Of hungry chill
dren. One room was all she could af-
ford in which to rear them, and their
poverty was acute. At the age of 8
years John hired out to a picture max
er at 50 cents a week. At the age Of
10 he was working for a builder at
the prlncely wage Of Is cents a week.
One day he got drunk-the only time
he ever touched liquor In his life-and
lost his Job. Then he worked for O
pastry cook for two years.
In his long tramps to and from
work Pearce observed how great was
the need among casual and other la
borers Of good and cheap food, 1t sug-
gested an opportunity for him to be-
come his own master. He hired a cos
termonger's barrow at rs cents a
week, bought a humble urn and a few
crooks and set out to earn his fortune
as a cheap and perambulatlng caterer.
He did not ever dream then that he
was laying the foundation OF a colos-
sal business. 1t developed slowly at
first.
At the end Of six months he was
able to turn his shilling-a-week barrow
into what he called "a gutter hotel"
With the knowledge Of carpentry and
painting that he had learned at the
builders and Of cooking that he had
mastered at the pastry cooks, he made
the stall so attractive that his receipts
grew until they sometimes reached $3O
a day. For thirteen years he stood by
his gutter hotel" at the end Of which
time he had saved $4,000. With that
he bought the lease Of his first coffee
shop. 1t was a success from the start
and his business kept on increasing
until today he conducts eighty-one
restaurants, in not II Of which Is q
drop of liquor sold. Before he branch
ed out into business for himself he
got religion" and regularly devoted
| one-tenth Of his income to charity
| The giving away Of n 1.-THE of his In
| come he has always since regarded as
a sacred obligation.
Some idea of the extent Of his bust
ness may be gained from these fig
ures: In his eighty-one houses the an
nual consumption Of fresh mea
amounts to 100000 pounds; of bacon
OBS, 900 pounds; Of -four, 1000 tons; OF
potatoes, 1900 tons; Of milk, 265,OO(
gallons, and 4,250,000 eggs.

THE GRAY TERROR.


A gruesome tale is told by the Pitts
burg Dispatch Of the bringing Of the
body Of the late Mayor Of Seattle from
the interior of Alaska. NJ. A. Mahoney,
who had charge of the body, started
alone from Fairbanks to draw the cof-
fin over the snow road by sledge. Two
days out Of Fairbanks he was cross
ing a level bit Of country over which
the trail made way through forests of
giant pine and fir. With the first shad-
W Of night there came a long, low
wall. 1t was followed by another and
another, each Enthusiastically nearer.
The man, standing on a lonely Alaskan
trail, hundreds Of miles from the near
est habitation, and with a burden on
his hands that he had sworn to bring
safely to civilization, knew what it
meant 1t was the cry Of the wolf.
Mahoney realized that II he remain
ed on the trail he would never live to
see another day. He knew that three
long days and nights must pass before
he could hope for human help. He had
O'OiC a Naot bllClNu W tcIIlGOIy ludt
day, and he was exhausted; but he
must not think OF sleep.
He turned off into the woods, and
under the shelter of the pines built a
big fire. 1t was well he acted quickly,
for he had scarcely fed his dogs and
snatched a morsel Of supper himself
when the wolves arrived.
All night long that lonely camp was
surrounded by a row Of cleaning eyes.
Mahoney sat alone, the coffin for his
seat, with every nerve strained. Once
nature took revenge, and his heavy
eyes dropped.
While he dozzed the fire died down,
and Mahoney woke with a start. A
gaunt gray wolf was poking his nose
very near to him. The man fastened
to throw on more wood, and the beasts
skunk away until only the CLEAN of
their eyes told that they were keeping
watch.
With the morning sun the wolves
vanished, and Mahoney once more took
up the trail. Not once all day did he
!, see a sign nor hear a sound from the
pack that he knew was silently fol-
} lowing. With the sunset, however,
t came the long, blood-curdllng wall.
t The second night was a fight against
3 sleep. He tied a pine-knot to his right
hand. AS he dozed off, the flames
would burn and waken him. AS the
: day before, the wolves departed with
the dawn, and gave no sign until even
ing. Then for a third night Mahoney
( went without sleep.
8 The wolves, their hunger increasing,
grew holder, and crept closer and
closer. Every now and then one would
9 Jump forward and snap at the feet 0,
the silent watcher. Then MahOney,
with a blazing brand, would strike at
r the glowing eyes and drive back his
8 foe, When morning came, the man,
half-crazed with fear and loss Of sleep,
( once more took the trail, and at moo
t came to a road-house, where he was
cared for. He slept steadily for eight
@ cen hours, then resumed his journey.

THE SELfIsHNESS OF MEN IN PUBLIC.
~ Clara Kern bayHss.

% ~ g baJhsS'
At operas and theaters it is as often men as
WI women who enter late and depart early, or who
M converse during the most interesting portions Of
WI the productions. 1t is not men-neither Is 1t
W. women-but it Is beings of the masculine per
suasion who emit shrill, earsplitting whistles by
l way Of manifesting their approval during pub
| IN lie entertainments.
E12AA At the fair In st. Louis two women and their
escort were sitting on a bench by the Terrace Of States.
The gentleman left his place for a moment to procure a
program, depositing his overcoat and art catalogue in the
vacant space. Immediately a man and two women came
up, and all three attempted to crowd into the bench. At
the protest of the first women the man passed on to a
vacant seat not three feet away, remarking as he did SO:
"'There are hogs everywhere" Evidently. But he seemed
to be mlstaking the exact entity Of the animal in this case.
1t was a big man who sat sidewise in the car with
his knee on the seat, occupying space for two, while women
stood in the aisle beside him all the way to the fair grounds.
And 1t was not a feminine conductor who thought 1t a
good joke to carry a woman three blocks beyond her des-
tination, because, in her ignorance Of metropolitan usages,
she was trying to signal the motorman instead Of him to
stop the car.
Hirsch one day rose to give his seat in the car to a woman
when an agile man slipped in ahead Of her. The rabbits
-countenance expressed his sentiments, and the intruder
said: You look as II you'd Ike to eat me-" to which the
venerable Jew replied, 81 can't my friend. l am a Jew
Though the surprising polteness Of American gentle
men may have bred in women a habit Of assuming prece-

no letters from Yorkshire. 1t was too
bad Of Dick-he might at least have
written.
Now that the excitement Of her reap
pearance had died away, MORA had to
admit that she was beginning to feel
rather fatigued. After the bracing air
OF Yorkshire, London seemed stufy.
To be cooped up in a theater every
night except Sunday was very trying.
Not for a moment would she have
admitted that she did not love the
stage as much as ever, but it began to
dawn upon her that she loved Dick
even more than she did the theater.
Else why did she miss him so much?
She refused all invitations to supper.
Several notes, the handwriting of
which she recognized, she burned un-
opened. A certain peer who occupied
the same seat nightly at the theater
began to make himself noticeable.
MORA threw his bouquets into a cor
ner Of her dressing room and burst
into tears. She would not have done
so a few years ago. Then she looked
at herself in the glass. Yes, she was
beginning to look much paler.
In Yorkshire, she reflected, she had
never ever rouged. There was nothing
artificial about Dick, and there was
nothing artificial about Yorkshire.
Next day, MORA made up her mind
suddenly, sent a note to the theater
and took a north express from Kings
Cross.
The journey was a long one, and
owing to a breakdown on the local line
dusk had set In before MORA had
reached her destination. From the sta
tion to the hall was not far, and Molra
enjoyed the walk. She wanted to take
Dick by surprise.
1t was a stately old residence, and
as MORA passed up the drive the trees
which sheltered the house seemed to
rustic In the night breeze as IL carry
ing q message of welcome to her.
The front door was wide open and
the CHEEKY CLEAN Of fire In the library
was reflected In the windows. A spirit
Of rest seemed to reign everywhere.
MORA stepped into the library as
noiselessly as she could.
Dick was seated in a big armchair

must busy himself studying the signals, system Of air
bakes, and the other things that he will be required to be
proficient in when his final examination Is to be held.
The examinee must be absolutely sound as to physical
condition, his hearing must be good, and his eyes will be
given a closer searching and testing than any other exam
nation in the world will put him through.
The technical examination is even severer in proper
ton than the physical. The brakeman must be familiar
with every kind Of signal to be found on the road.
On the air brakes he is questioned as closely. He must
know how to trace air through different pipes and valves,
must know the effect Of different pressures on different
speeds and different tonnage. In short, he must know the
air brake from end to end and just what it ought to and
will do.
The pay Of freight brakemen is 2 cents a mile. The
monthly pay will run from $65 to $l15 per month, accord.
Ing to the mileage made. Elghty-Aye dollars a month will
perhaps be a general average for freight brakeman over
the country. Passenger brakemen earn less.

cheered her just the same If she had
been old, and-yes, ugly. She was
sure Of it
After all. she had only been absent
from the boards a matter OF two or
three years. She remembered her
friends told her she would soon tire Of
married life and wish to return to the
stage.
Well, they were partly right. She
wasn't really tired Of Dick-only
just a little bit bored with too much
humdrum happiness. 1t was a fit of
the stage fever that had seized her,
and she longed to feel the thrill Of
popularity again.
She wanted to compel the admira-
ton Of others as she had done in the
old days; to provoke their laughter and
their tears, to win smiles and ap-
plause. How could Dick understand
what all this meant to a woman-an
actressl
In their quiet country home he had
been content to live as a simple, sport
lcving gentleman since their marriage
He forgot how much the fascination OF
the theater entered into her life.
But now she was in the midst Of II
all again, and London was ready to
worship at her shrine as it had done
before.
