Our Daily $bcrt Story

to hair, short as to breath, suspicious ly we'll preserved as to teeth-could she? A sudden little fire famed into her cheeks, resolution strided her pret- ty nose, a laugh bubbled in her throat. It was a miracle straight down from heaven. Her deliverance was at hand.
 Then could you, would you come to the bridge, Bettie?" Grasham's voice had caught fire and blazed up with hope at sound of that rippling mirth.
 Bettie had only laughed. She had come though; the little old treasure box with its valueless contents that were to be dropped into the river under her arm.
 Bettie lifted the treasure box high above her head and looked over at the shifting water. Suddenly her hands, still clutching the box, fell to her side. The water would close over it; would ripple and flash in gay defiance of the battered old thing that lay on its bed the water that was like faithless heart.
 Bettie lifted the lid and peered in. The trophies of many victory were there, for Bettie was belle of all the countryside. She closed 1t quickly. A rude, heart-shaped valentine had caught her eye. "Open my heart and read my thoughts was scrawled across it in an uniformed. boyish hand.
 Feeling just about as forlorn and quite as determined as that young Columbus who faced the West and looked out over the waters of his fu- ture, she marshaled her whirling thoughts.
 It would be d pleasant life that she would lead She would ride. golf, drive in a brougham, trail cloud-like gowns over shiny floors. and view the opera from a box; she would be an arbiter of fashions, would organize charities, be a patroness of balls-What a dizzy ing, satisfying whirl, with little jaunts to London and Paris thrown in. A soft little wind blew straight into Bettie's reverie-a soft little wind Puck-like in its knowledge of the psychologist moment at which to blow into a, reyerie.
 Bettie knew where the sweets it had gathered to fling at her with lavish hand had come from. She could see the low, gray, weather-beaten house with it's background of wide-branch- Ing apple trees with shut eyes. She shivered--quite unaccountable that shiver unless it was that the sun had gone from the river In the dis tance she heard the approach of horses

 Bettie meant to say yes. For that Sole purpose she swept with. a free untrammeled motion down the hill ana onto the bridge.
 It was characteristic of her that she was going to utter the little word preg- nant with veal or woe-the monosyi- liable for which Gresham was at that moment jolting and pumping over the mountain, but she drew a little breath of relief when she saw the sun stiii hanging above the hills. There were twenty, maybe. thirty minutes of free dom left to her.
 She flung look of defiance at the village that lay behind her. sunk com placently in the lap of the big hills. fts human drama was lived out along lines as unbending as were the razor Adged ridges of those hills. It was human drama that held no interest for Bettie. All her life long she had hated its sordidness; had left that the mountains piiing up against the SKY line were but so many miles or prison wall built about her.
 It was life--vivid, tumultuous, pas sionate life as it was lived beyond that big blue mountain wall for which her impatient young soul cried out. As 1T fin answer to the call, Gresham, run ming away from civilization for little while. stumbled upon the out or the way place, and upon Bettie, curled up in the window seat of her Grand fathers inn, book in hand.
 The disllIusions of fifty years lay behind Gresham, but there was some khing in the unconscious grace of that supple young body with fair head bent and hand cradling the oval Of a fusned kheek that sent a strange little tnriii h yearning for he hardly knew what through him. Whatever 1t was the hard, successful years had not given It to him.

 ''Could you Bettie?' he had said that morning before climbing into the hack khat was to carry him across the noun lain for telegraphic communication with the outside world.
 Bettie had looked at him steadily. He had come into the world with srow's feet about his eyes, misty as

painted "a Rolling-Mill houses one coat
Devoe at a saving of IL per cent. for
paint Qead-and.oil was after the jobl
That's how the tale reads. We infer
what really happened.
The buyer, as usual, went by the cost
of paint; got bids. Lead-and-oil bid low
and guessed the quantity low; the saving
was only IL per cent.
Nobody seems to have thought of this;
the painting costs two or three times as
much as the paint. How much did we
save on the painting? Don't know.
The tale ends with this: We often refer
inquirers to those houses, for wear of

That's a good-enough story; but no.
body knows what it is. Our only diff
Guilty is want of paint-intelligence. 20

WEAKENING TO THEIR DUTIES
Mgr. Faleonfo, PapaI Delegate to the United states, an Admirer of
 President Roosevelt.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 26.-"Christian men are awakening to their duties as Christians and citizens. That is why you are having such anti-graft move ments in Milwaukee and elsewhere throughout the United States. It is good sign and when it is over it will leave many lasting results
 This is statement of Mgr. Diomede Falcanio. papal delegate 10 the United States ir Milwaukee.
 President Roosevelt has set the good example to his people, He has started to pnrify the government and will succeed 10 large degree He is good man and is an example for young men of this country to follow He is a Christian and his own pure, good life will be reflected in the lives of others. His personality, his integrity and his desire that all public business be conducted on the honest basis, is be- ing felt in every part of the country and has its influence in other lands.
 Tt is mistake to say that Roose- welt has gained his popularity among the Catholic clergy because of his po- sition toward the Catholic church in the Philippines. That is only a small thing. It is his whole life and what he stands for that makes Catholics trust him"

Senseless Advice.

The learned dissertations of all the professors and sages who tell us at this glad season how to be comfort. able when the mercury is at 95 begin with the ancient haldean maxim Don't Worry" This caution, observes the Baltimore Herald. was old in the days of Babylon's glory. and knew the sharp stings of senile rheumatism when Ireland still had kings And it was just as platitudinous in those hap py times and just as innocuous and senseless and silly as it is in this year of grace 1905. Don't worry, forsooth, How can a man help il? Doesn't worrying mean thinking, and has a mere human being control over the machinery of cogitation? He may convince himself that he isn't hungry when the sight of ham sandwich makes him weep, and he may control his fists, his legs, his vocal cords and his whiskers, but he has no manner of sovereignty over his cerebrum and cerebellum.
